At this moment, Qin Si Ye had already sat opposite her. Hearing her speak like this, a touch of inexplicable emotion rose in his heart.
So she had gone to that Chinese restaurant to cook for him.
"The taste is very good." Qin Si Ye picked up his chopsticks, tasted each dish, and gave his evaluation.
"That's good then." Yin Xi finally showed a relaxed smile, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat as well.
Qin Si Ye ate the dishes with elegant movements, then looked up at her and asked, "Have the matters concerning the Jin family been handled?"
"No. The real culprit hasn't been found yet, but the Public Security Bureau has cleared me of suspicion." Yin Xi paused, then replied thoughtfully.
Qin Si Ye was naturally aware that his suspicion had been cleared; it was he who had arranged for Zhao Ze to handle it.
However, one thing puzzled him, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why was Meng Qi at the gate of the South City Branch Bureau last night?"
Yin Xi paused her chopsticks and replied, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Yesterday afternoon, Meng Qi and her assistant were at the Jin family's residence. The police might have questioned them."
"What? They were there too?" Qin Si Ye showed a hint of surprise.
However, he then thought that the Meng family had also had good relations with the Jin family back then, so Meng Qi's presence there was not entirely strange.
"Did Meng Qi say anything to make things difficult for you?"
"No. She even spoke highly of me in front of the Jin family. And she didn't expose our relationship." Yin Xi thought for a moment and replied, "This point makes me quite unable to fathom it."
"Oh. It's indeed not like her usual behavior." Qin Si Ye recalled her recent performance in the Qin family and found it somewhat inexplicable.
"However, if my deductions about the real culprit are correct, then her behavior wouldn't be strange."
"What do you mean? Do you suspect her?"
"No. She didn't have the opportunity to act. I suspect it was her assistant, Bai Lin. But if it really was Bai Lin, then she must have been instructed by Meng Qi."
"Bai Lin? You mean that expressionless female assistant who always accompanies her?"
"Mm. But I'm only guessing at the moment; I have no evidence. When we came down, there were two people upstairs. Besides Bai Lin, there was also a maid from the Jin family. She is also highly suspected."
Just then, Qin Si Ye's phone rang. He took it out and frowned.
"Dad."
"Mm."
"Can you not be angry and speak calmly?"
"Alright, I'll be right back."
After hanging up, Yin Xi asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
"My dad says he has something urgent to discuss with me and wants me to return immediately." Qin Si Ye said, already standing up. "After you finish eating, rest in the inner room for a while before leaving."
"You don't need to worry about me." Yin Xi also stood up and stepped forward to remind him, "Speak calmly when you get there, and be careful not to anger Uncle."
"Mm, I know." As Qin Si Ye passed by her, he couldn't help but pull her into his arms for a hug before turning and leaving quickly.
With Qin Si Ye gone, Yin Xi had no intention of resting in his inner room. She quickly tidied up the coffee table and left the room.
As her car drove onto the main road, she received another call from Jin Jing Chen.
"Hello? Yin Xi. Where are you now?"
"I'm on my way back to the Grand Pharmacy." Yin Xi could already tell from his tone that something bad had happened. "What's wrong?"
Just as she had expected, Jin Jing Chen said with a sense of urgency, "Those mother and son are discussing not treating my father anymore, saying it's useless to treat him. They are currently going through the discharge procedures."
"Oh? It seems they still have a strong prejudice against me." Yin Xi heard this, stopped the car to the side, "However, for your father's safety, you'd better move back to the Jin family's residence."
"Mm. I threatened them with calling the police just now, and they have agreed to let me return to the Jin family," Jin Jing Chen replied.
Yin Xi said, "Good. Your decision to go back is absolutely right. If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs? If you want to completely defeat the Jin family mother and son, you must obtain evidence of them poisoning Uncle Jin. But you must be careful about your own safety."
"Thank you, Yin Xi. I will be careful." Jin Jing Chen stood in the safety stairwell, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "You said my father might still remain in a coma, is that true?"
