Seeing she wouldn't speak, Qin Beiting smiled. "You won't say? That's fine. If you don't tell me, I can find out myself."
He was already devastatingly handsome, and his smile was incredibly charming, yet Yu He inexplicably felt a chill.
Then she heard the man say coolly, "If it's a scoundrel, I'll break his legs and see if he dares to lure you away again."
Yu He: "..."
Tsk, he was threatening her!
"Go ahead and find out. Let me know if you do," Yu He patted Qin Beiting's chest and then turned to leave.
A flash of ferocity flickered in Qin Beiting's eyes. He glanced back behind him, as if looking for something, and then followed Yu He's footsteps.

Yu He returned to the study in the siheyuan and reopened the website from the envelope on her computer. She had to admit, Qin Xinyao was very meticulous; the math question for the password hint had changed.
Yu He solved it again, entered the password, and clicked on the first document. It contained only three photos!
She remembered there were more than a dozen photos when she was at the park, but now only three remained.
Was it a different password that showed different photos, or...
As she was lost in thought, another photo disappeared.
Qin Xinyao was deleting photos!
Yu He immediately saved the two remaining photos to her computer, then quickly opened a code window and her fingers flew across the keyboard.
Meanwhile, in a secluded men's restroom in Shijing Park.
Qin Xinyao, wearing a baseball cap and a black mask, sat on the toilet seat with his laptop on his lap, counting the minutes as he slowly deleted the photos on the webpage one by one.
Suddenly, the computer's firewall alerted him of an intrusion.
His heart sank. This computer was not connected to any network except his phone's hotspot, and Bluetooth wasn't even turned on. It was off most of the time, so no one should have been able to discover it.
He immediately turned off his phone's data hotspot, cutting off the network. The firewall alert stopped.
He closed the laptop, put it in his backpack, put on sunglasses, pulled down his brim, and left.
In the siheyuan.
Yu He watched the "Invasion Failed" notification pop up on her desktop, her peach blossom eyes narrowing slightly. Qin Xinyao was so cautious, why would he intentionally leak the photos to her?
Yu He surmised it was likely to get her to investigate as well.
After all, they were both victims of the incident back then, even though she was no longer related to the Qin family by blood.
Yu He returned to the page and clicked on the two remaining photos.
The photos were marked images from the scene of Qin Sanye's death twelve years ago. They were taken from printed photographs, not originals.
Although the pixels weren't very clear, Yu He recognized the background as the lobby of the Qin family's Yayuan. She used to play hide-and-seek there with her adoptive father, adoptive mother, and Qin Beiting when she was little.
After the incident, Yayuan was sealed off and remained so until she left the Qin family. She didn't know what it looked like now.
These photos were quite important to her. She couldn't access her adoptive father's case files, and her adoptive mother's clues from that time were lost with her death.
Qin Xinyao must know something, and he probably had other evidence! Pretending to be foolish was likely his only way to continue investigating within the Qin family.
She needed to find a way to see him again!
Yu He returned to the page and found that the second document was still there. She clicked on it, and it contained another photo.
It was the back of a female servant wearing the current Qin family uniform. The background was under the locust tree in the backyard of Qin Jincheng. The photo was taken somewhat blurrily, likely in haste, as it was very shaky.
This must be why Qin Xinyao deliberately led her to the backyard of Qin Jincheng. What had he seen?
Yu He's eyes flickered, and a sudden idea struck her. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Qin Xinhong.
Then she opened the clinic's registration system and, from the information of patients queuing for registration, found the details of Li Haiyang registering his son and retrieved the medical records he had uploaded.
Li Yehan, paralyzed due to brain injury and central nervous system damage from a car accident, had been in this state for over ten years.
Yu He moved the mouse and adjusted Li Haiyang's waiting number, moving him from over a thousandth place to the following Sunday.
Earlier, at the Qin family's, Aunt Yao had mentioned that Qin Yonghui had been unable to find a doctor to cure Qin Xinyao's illness. At the time, Yu He suspected Qin Xinyao was faking it and deliberately claimed she wasn't skilled in neurology.
Now, if she proactively offered to treat Qin Xinyao, it would seem too deliberate and not in line with Yu He's usual style.
She preferred people to come to her.
Therefore, she needed someone to build up her reputation, and Li Yehan, paralyzed for over a decade, was perfect for this.
If Qin Yonghui saw that Yu He had awakened Li Yehan, who had been in a vegetative state for over ten years, she would undoubtedly seek Yu He out to treat Qin Xinyao.

Meanwhile, at the Li residence.
Li Haiyang was reading the newspaper in the living room when his phone suddenly received a message. He slowly put down the newspaper, picked up his teacup to drink, and glanced at the message.
[You have successfully booked an appointment at Doctor Yu Xian's clinic. Please arrive promptly at nine o'clock on July 7th for your consultation...]
Li Haiyang's hand trembled, and the scalding tea burned his tongue. He truly felt this wasn't a dream!
He immediately put down his teacup and ran upstairs, "Wife, wife..."
In his excitement, he accidentally missed a step and fell down the stairs with a loud thud.
Madam Li, who was in the room wiping down Li Yehan, heard the commotion and rushed to help Li Haiyang. "Why are you so excited? At your age, you should be more careful."
Li Haiyang, ignoring the pain, handed his phone to Madam Li. "I got it! I got an appointment with Doctor Yu Xian!"
"What did you say?" Madam Li thought she had misheard. She looked at the phone repeatedly, then tears of excitement streamed down her face. "That's wonderful! Han'er has hope!"
Since the scandal involving Li Xiyan at Li Haiyang's birthday banquet last time, Madam Li hadn't experienced anything good.
She had given birth to a son and a daughter. Her son was paralyzed, so she had to place her hopes on her daughter, but then her daughter's scandal ruined her reputation.
Seeing how things were going, the Li family was about to fall into the hands of Li Sichen, the illegitimate son. Unexpectedly, heaven had sent her such a great surprise.
Heaven was still looking out for her!
"Yes, it's wonderful!" Li Haiyang exclaimed, then suddenly thought of Li Sichen. "I wonder if Si Chen pulled some strings through that divine doctor Wu Ming."
Because he remembered when he tried to make an appointment, there were over a thousand people ahead of him. For him to get an appointment suddenly, either the system had a problem or he received special treatment.
And the divine doctor Wu Ming was also Crow, a master hacker, so the system shouldn't have had any issues!
Madam Li's tearful expression froze. "What does that have to do with him?"
Just then, Li Sichen returned. Li Haiyang ignored Madam Li and hurried downstairs to ask Li Sichen, "Regarding your brother's matter, did you do it?"
"What?" Li Sichen was confused.
"I got an appointment at Doctor Yu Xian's clinic!" Li Haiyang said.
Upon hearing this, Li Sichen seemed to understand something, his expression immediately darkened, and he turned to leave again.
