Qin Yexuan felt a bit speechless.
He really was like a persistent shadow.
The mobile number he was currently using was the one Su Bingyan had gotten for him when he first arrived in Jiangcheng, so it was normal for it to be tracked.
However, the fact that Master Tang's subordinate could directly access the registration information of the Jiangcheng Communications Company was truly outrageous.
Qin Yexuan tapped his Bluetooth earpiece. "Xiao Tianxuan, help me investigate the Jiangcheng Communications Company. There's a force nicknamed Master Tang who has their sights on me."
Xiao Tianxuan had been getting along very well with the high-ranking officials in Jiangcheng recently, especially within the circle of the Jiangcheng Prefect. They all recognized Xiao Tianxuan as their elder brother, so this matter would be most convenient for him to handle.
"Master, please rest assured, I'll take care of it immediately," Xiao Tianxuan said. He then reported, "The family behind the Governor of Jiangnan has contacted me just now, wanting to apologize to you. Do you wish to meet them?"
Qin Yexuan thought for a moment. "The people in their family are innocent. The guilty one is that useless Governor, and I've already dealt with him."
Xiao Tianxuan dared not waste words. "Then I'll have them return."
"Alright, I'm going to the Lin family's place now. If they insist on meeting, we can talk later."
Qin Yexuan hung up the phone. They had already reached the Lin family's residence.
The Lin family mansion was still in a state of utter desolation. More seals had been added to the main gate, and a cordon had been set up around the perimeter.
A group of subordinates from the Prefect's mansion were patrolling.
Qin Yexuan got out of the car, directly picked up the tipsy Lin Jingjing, and walked towards the main gate.
The surroundings of the mansion were completely silent.
"Halt, who goes there?" Several patrol guards blocked his way menacingly.
Qin Yexuan said nothing and kicked out.
"Ah!"
"Damn!"
"Ugh!"
A group of people staggered and crashed into the wall, unconscious.
Qin Yexuan pushed open the main gate again and headed towards the main hall.
Inside the hall, the Lin family was enveloped in gloom. Lin's father, in particular, sat there, clutching his head in despair, completely at a loss.
A heavily made-up woman was berating him. "It's not that I want to say this, Big Brother, but who could you possibly offend? You offended Prince Nan County! Now look, not only is your family finished, but we relatives and friends are suffering too."
The woman stomped her foot. "My children were just thinking of doing business with Prince Nan County, and now they can't even earn any money. Jingjing is truly something, to have even risked her life."
Lin Jingjing's younger sister couldn't stand it anymore. "Second Aunt, what do you mean by saying these things? My sister isn't dead yet, and you're already cursing her?"
The family began to argue.
Qin Yexuan couldn't help but clear his throat. "Hello, I've brought Jingjing back."
Lin's father jumped up first, disbelief etched on his face.
The younger sisters, elder sisters, and other relatives also rushed out.
Qin Yexuan handed Lin Jingjing over to Lin's father.
Lin's younger sister cried out, "Mom, come quickly and look! Sister is back!"
Lin's mother, who had collapsed in bed from excessive grief, rushed out of the room excitedly.
Qin Yexuan, however, was pushed aside by them.
He watched the chaotic yet warm scene of the Lin family and thought with emotion, "Having such a loving family is also Lin Jingjing's good fortune."
Turning, he prepared to leave quietly.
Just then, Lin Jingjing's maternal aunt, Su Dan, coldly blocked his way with a group of people.
"You, explain yourself, what exactly is going on?"
Lin's second aunt screamed, "Everyone knows Jingjing was captured by Prince Nan County and the Governor. If they captured her, she must have made a mistake. You bring her back for no reason, what happens if they investigate and hold us accountable?"
This was truly an astonishing thing to hear.
Qin Yexuan was utterly speechless. "So, you don't care about Lin Jingjing's life or death, and you're just afraid of being implicated?"
Lin's second aunt's face turned red. "Nonsense, I am responsible to the Lin family!"
She then turned with her hands on her hips. "Aren't you all right?"
Quite a few of the Lin family's relatives and friends nodded in agreement.
Lin Jingjing's parents trembled with anger.
Lin's father gritted his teeth and stood up. "Alright, very good. It's my fault for offending you all. Jingjing offended the Governor of Jiangnan! And behind him is the King of Zhen Tian! If you're scared, then sever ties with my Lin family right now!"
"Sever ties? We sever them, but will Prince Nan County and the Governor acknowledge it?" Lin's second aunt had thrown all pretense aside and screamed, "Lin Jingjing must be sent back! It's only valid if the people from the Governor's mansion return her."
The Lin family's relatives nodded again and began to whisper.
Lin's second aunt grew smug. "Those who agree with me, please stand on this side. We'll make things clear with the Lin family, and also, don't let Lin Jingjing escape!"
The crowd parted, with at least half standing behind the second aunt.
Lin Jingjing's parents' faces turned pale, and Lin's younger sister cried bitterly in anger.
Lin's second aunt, now full of confidence, pointed at Qin Yexuan. "Keep an eye on this kid. He's not from the Governor's mansion, and I don't know how he got Lin Jingjing back. Wait, I'm going to call Officer Chen from the Governor's mansion."
Qin Yexuan stood his ground without speaking.
Lin's second aunt had already made the call, and the officer responsible for guarding the Lin family quickly appeared.
As soon as Officer Chen entered, he roared, "Who knocked out my men? What a bold person."
Seeing the patrol guards lying on the ground outside, Officer Chen became very agitated.
Lin's second aunt approached him obsequiously, pointing at Qin Yexuan and saying something.
Officer Chen loosened his tie and, with a flushed face, walked over. "Who are you? How did you bring Lin Jingjing back? Speak quickly..."
*Slap!*
Qin Yexuan slapped him across the face. The sound of the slap echoed throughout the entire hall!
