Qin Chuan did not answer Li Ya's question, but instead stepped on the accelerator, and the Tiger Head Ben quickly drove towards the office building.
He wanted to see who the visitor was!
From a long distance, Qin Chuan saw a red Wrangler parked below the office building. The car looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
When the Tiger Head Ben stopped beside the Wrangler, Qin Chuan turned his head to look at the passenger seat.
There, a woman was smoking.
The car window was rolled down very low, and wisps of smoke quickly drifted out. Through the veil of smoke, a delicate profile was faintly visible, exuding a special charm.
As if hearing the movement, the woman in the red Wrangler finally turned her head, revealing a pretty face that was pure with a hint of flirtatiousness.
"Li Xiangcao!"
Upon seeing the woman's true appearance, Qin Chuan's eyes widened, and he showed a look of disbelief.
He was so surprised that Qin Chuan never expected that the person looking for him would be Li Xiangcao.
Seeing Li Xiangcao, his mind would involuntarily recall the events that happened yesterday, all the way until Li Yuan San was arrested.
After all, Li Yuan San was Li Xiangcao's father.
During this time, why wasn't Li Xiangcao at the police station helping her father try to overturn the case? Instead, she appeared at Xinhua Electronics Factory. What did this woman want?
In an instant, Qin Chuan's mind raced. He couldn't quite figure out Li Xiangcao's intentions. Did she already know that he was the mastermind behind Li Yuan San's arrest?
"Old classmate, we meet again!"
While Qin Chuan was filled with doubt and suspicion, Li Xiangcao, from inside the red Wrangler, smiled and greeted him through the car window.
"Hello, old classmate, welcome to our electronics factory!"
Although he was unsure of Li Xiangcao's intentions, Qin Chuan quickly regained his composure, smiled, and got out of the car to greet her.
At the same time, Li Ya also got out of the car, looking at Li Xiangcao in the Wrangler with a hint of curiosity. "Xiao Chuan, who is she..."
"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you. This is Li Xiangcao, an old classmate of mine, and we are from the same village."
Qin Chuan quickly introduced Li Ya, and then added, "Xiangcao, this is my girlfriend, Li Ya!"
Li Xiangcao opened the car door and walked out, smiling and extending her arm. "I know, the famous beauty of Butterfly Clothing Factory, right? As expected, your name suits you, Sister, you are so beautiful!"
"Thank you! You are beautiful too, Sister!"
Li Ya smiled reservedly.
"Xiangcao, why did you suddenly come here?" Qin Chuan asked.
Li Xiangcao's eyes twinkled, and her smile was enigmatic. "What's wrong, old classmate? Can't I just visit you if I don't have anything to do?"
"How could that be? I'm just a little surprised!"
Qin Chuan quickly said, "Please come in. It's quite cold outside. Let's go to the office and have a cup of hot tea to warm up."
He then made a gesture of invitation.
"Okay, I won't be polite then!"
Li Xiangcao walked towards the office building door with elegant steps.
"Please have a cup of hot tea with us, Madam Driver. It's so cold outside!" Qin Chuan suddenly said again.
Inside the red Wrangler, the driver was also a woman with short, ear-length hair, wearing a tight leather jacket and sunglasses, looking very cool.
Facing Qin Chuan's warm invitation, she remained motionless, as if she hadn't heard him.
Instead, Li Xiangcao, who had already walked a few steps ahead, turned around when she heard the movement behind her. "It's okay, the car has heating. I can go up alone."
"Is that so... Alright then!"
Qin Chuan glanced deeply at the cool woman and turned to leave.
The three of them arrived at the chairman's office. Li Ya took on the role of hostess, skillfully boiling water for tea, while Qin Chuan and Li Xiangcao sat on the sofa, chatting about old times.
"Thank you!"
When Li Ya brought the steaming hot tea, Li Xiangcao thanked her.
Before Li Ya could reply, Li Xiangcao changed the subject. "Director Li, could you please step out for a moment? I want to have a private chat with your boyfriend."
Li Ya looked surprised and instinctively looked at Qin Chuan.
"Sister, you go out first!"
Qin Chuan nodded, knowing that the real conversation was about to begin.
Li Ya glanced at the beautiful and charming Li Xiangcao, said nothing more, and turned to leave. Only Qin Chuan and Li Xiangcao were left in the office.
The previously cheerful atmosphere quickly dissipated, replaced by silence.
The man and woman sitting opposite each other gazed at each other. Qin Chuan took out a pack of cigarettes and offered it. "Can you smoke this brand?"
Li Xiangcao smiled gently, took a cigarette from the pack, and lit it skillfully.
Qin Chuan lit one himself and took a deep puff.
"Are you surprised by my visit today?" Li Xiangcao said.
"A little!"
Qin Chuan admitted frankly, "In my opinion, you should be at the police station right now, not here."
"So, you're admitting that you're involved in my father's incident yesterday?" Li Xiangcao asked.
Qin Chuan looked up, his gaze fixed on Li Xiangcao's beautiful face, and then he grinned, "Since you've come to me, it's obvious you have enough evidence. If I don't admit it, wouldn't I seem like I have no backbone, unable to admit my actions!"
"Fine, since you've admitted it, then things will be easier to discuss!"
Li Xiangcao extinguished the half-smoked cigarette in her hand, and her gaze suddenly became sharp, like a knife, completely changing her former seductive and delicate demeanor.
"Qin Chuan, I ask you, why do you always target our family? What has our Li family done to offend you so much that you, a big boss now, are still targeting us repeatedly, not even letting an elder go!"
"As far as I know, my brother was arrested and sentenced to five years because of your scheme!"
"This time my father is in serious trouble, directly involving rape, organizing gambling, and murder, three major cases!"
"If this is not handled well, he'll spend the rest of his life in prison!"
By the end of her words, Li Xiangcao stood up from the sofa in agitation. It was clear that Li Yuan San's sudden incident yesterday had greatly stimulated her.
Qin Chuan calmly watched the agitated Li Xiangcao. After she calmed down a bit, he slowly said, "Haven't you gone to ask your father?"
Li Xiangcao shook her head. "Not yet. When I learned this morning that you were the mastermind behind all of this, I came directly to you!"
"Do you know how heartbroken I was when I learned the truth?"
Li Xiangcao's eyes were teary and red. It was evident that she was truly sad, not acting.
"I can't believe that the mastermind behind all of this is you. You made your capable subordinate do all of this!"
"What did my family do to offend you so much that you would go to such lengths to seek revenge? My brother being jailed wasn't enough, and now you've even gotten my father locked up!"
"Tell me! Qin Chuan!!"
As she spoke, Li Xiangcao suddenly became extremely agitated, lunging forward, grabbing Qin Chuan's clothes, her expression frantic.
"Li Xiangcao, calm down!"
Qin Chuan reached out and grabbed her shoulders, his expression also becoming complex.
If it weren't for that old rascal constantly courting death, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
"Don't you want to know the reason? I'll tell you!" Qin Chuan said.
Li Xiangcao, who was in a state of frenzied emotion, finally regained some rationality and wiped the tears from her face. "Okay, tell me! I'm listening!"
