Chapter 81: 081 Life-and-death Speed! Sister Lan Takes Action [1 Update]

Qin Xian chuckled coldly, his voice brimming with satisfaction.

He would make Ye Wanlan watch helplessly as the people around her were taken down by him, one after another!

Never before had Qin Xian suffered such a great humiliation.

How could he possibly endure it?

If he endured, he wouldn’t bear the Qin surname!

"Yuandao Chemical Plant?" Xu Li was taken aback once more, "Isn’t that the largest chemical plant in the North Suburb?"

"That’s right." Qin Xian was non-committal, "A part of fatal chemical elements has leaked, and now more than a dozen people have been sent to the hospital. What price should Lin Huaijin pay for such a huge blunder when he was in charge of protection this time?"

Hearing this, even Xu Li couldn’t help feeling a shiver of fear, "Ah Xian, did you do this?"

"How could it be me?" Qin Xian laughed, ominous and ruthless, "I did nothing this time, and I don’t believe Ye Wanlan could find any evidence!"

Until now, he hadn’t figured out how Ye Wanlan had gotten hold of the video meant for his amusement that he had someone record.

The secretary said there was no trace of intrusion in the cloud drive, something only a top hacker could achieve.

Qin Xian scoffed at this.

If Ye Wanlan could be associated with the words "top hacker," could she still be manipulated by him so easily?

Zhou Hechen’s bootlickers were numerous, but only Ye Wanlan acted unappreciatively.

"Ah Xian, this is a bit too much, isn’t it? With such a big incident at the chemical plant, it’s definitely going to be on the news." Xu Li was somewhat anxious, "You can’t be too careful. In case it’s found to be related to the Qin Family again, your side..."

"It’s impossible." Qin Xian was indifferent, "I guarantee this will not implicate the Qin Family. The layout this time is tight, and if Lin Huaijin isn’t executed, he’ll get life imprisonment."

Ye Wanlan wanted to send him to prison, didn’t she?

Well, he would send the people by her side to prison, one by one!

Xu Li was left speechless.

The Qin Family was a bandit-turned-noble and once was distinctly separated from the other four grand families in Jiangcheng.

Especially the scholarly Fang Family, the relationship between the Qin and Fang Families had been tepid to this day.

Later, as the Qin Family rose to prominence again, they secured the title of the fifth grand family.

Not just Qin Xian, all members of the Qin family had a streak of violent blood in their veins.

Unable to persuade him, Xu Li could only say, "Then I’ll go have a look."

At this moment, in the North Suburb of Jiangcheng, Yuandao Chemical Plant.

One after another, workers were carried onto ambulances on stretchers by medical staff, while the urgent and pressing siren sounds were incessant.

"Lin Huaijin, that’s more than a dozen lives!" the plant manager berated, furious at the incompetence, "You’re always so careful, how could you let something like this happen?!"

"Manager, it shouldn’t be Huaijin’s fault," a middle-aged man argued, "You know how cautious Huaijin is, he’s helped us avoid many losses consecutively, he..."

"Shut up!" the plant manager bellowed, "If those in the hospital don’t make it back, all of you can roll into jail together!"

Lin Huaijin’s lips were cracked, his voice hoarse and shaky, "Manager, I—"

"Lin Huaijin, do you still have the face to talk?" the plant manager coldly snapped, "Are you going to say it’s not your fault? I even suspect you did it on purpose! Otherwise, why would you be the only one who’s fine? If someone has to die, it should be you!"

A tremor went through Lin Huaijin’s heart, as if a wound was sliced open by a knife, the cold wind whistled in, making it hard for him to catch his breath all at once.

Those were colleagues he had worked closely with for nearly ten years; how could he possibly harm them?

The plant manager was furiously uninterested in Lin Huaijin’s defense.

As the manager, he was the primary person responsible for such a serious accident.

But that wasn’t fair to him either!

He had to push all the responsibility onto Lin Huaijin alone; the plant couldn’t be dragged down by him!

"Mr. Lin Huaijin, I presume." Two police officers showed their badges, "The complainant claims you had abnormal behavior at the time of the incident, please cooperate with our investigation and questioning."

Lin Huaijin clenched his fists tightly, forcefully suppressing the emotions inside, "All right, I will cooperate fully."

On this end, after dinner, under the forcible coercion of Ye Wanlan and Jiang Zhengxue, Jiang Xulin was still sent to the hospital.

"Sister Lan, my brother’s body isn’t even as strong as mine. Just a light pat from me, and he could fall over," Jiang Zhengxue sighed.

Jiang Xulin was once again in pain.

Was that a light pat?

It was a punch that not even a professional wrestler could catch!

"Sister Lan, let’s go out and ignore him," Ye Wanlan was pulled by Jiang Zhengxue and left the ward.

The VIP ward was very quiet and not noisy.

The floor above was not allowed for entry and had been reserved by the Zhou Family to ensure the best possible treatment for Zhou Heyuan.

"Oh, Sister Lan, have you heard a piece of gossip?" Jiang Zhengxue touched her chin and whispered, "Some people say that Zhou Heyuan’s car accident wasn’t an accident but was man-made because someone couldn’t stand him being groomed as the next heir to Zhou Corporation and wanted to ruin him."

Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "Where in this world are there so many accidents; becoming a vegetable, unable to speak or move, indeed solves everything."

"The waters are very deep in a big family like Zhou’s," Jiang Zhengxue said, "It’s really pitiful, with Zhou Corporation now fallen into the hands of the second son, and the third daughter, although capable, Zhou’s only allow her to enter the marriage for the sake of plotting the greatest benefits."

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Behind them, a cold voice rang out.

Madam Zhou was beside herself with anger; she hadn’t expected to hear someone fabricating stories about Zhou Heyuan and Zhou Family here!

Ye Wanlan wore a mask and hat, only revealing a pair of crescent eyes, and Madam Zhou failed to recognize her.

She looked at the two of them coldly, "Who are you? If you spread rumors again, I will call the police to arrest you!"

Zhou Heyuan was her bottom line, no one could touch him!

"And who are you?" Jiang Zhengxue held Ye Wanlan’s arm and cocked her head, "Where did I spread rumors? I was just making a strong inference based on the facts."

Madam Zhou was infuriated, "You..."

Reason told her she didn’t need to bother with two girls, it was simply a waste of time.

She turned and went upstairs, sitting on the side and looking at Zhou Heyuan, the more she looked, the more distressed she felt in her heart.

"Madam." Steward Zhou considerately brought a cup of hot water, "Calm down, those small figures in Jiangcheng just love to spread rumors every day."

Madam Zhou didn’t accept it, her chest still heaved violently.

She shook her head and suddenly slammed the cup hard on the coffee table, "Steward."

Steward Zhou respectfully replied, "Madam, please speak."

"The car accident of Heyuan two years ago, contact the police and have them reopen the investigation," Madam Zhou took a deep breath, "whatever is needed, we will cooperate."

These words surprised Steward Zhou.

The car accident was classified as an accident, so why restart the case?

Could it be...

Steward Zhou dared not continue thinking and hurriedly went to carry out the orders.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, Khor Peiqing just got off work and received an urgent call.

"Are you a family member of Lin Huaijin?" On the phone, the female officer’s voice was icy, "Lin Huaijin is suspected of a major chemical plant incident. Based on the evidence we have, we suspect he acted out of malicious retaliation against society. Please come immediately to cooperate with the investigation."

Khor Peiqing’s heart rose to her throat, "Okay, I’ll be right there!"

She hurried to Yuandao Chemical Plant.

The building with the chemical leak had been cordoned off, and workers wearing gas masks were clearing the remaining leaked elements.

The only good news was that the elements had not leaked outside into the air. Apart from the factory workers, no one else had fainted.

Lin Huaijin was already in custody, his hands cuffed.

"What happened?" Seeing him in this state, Khor Peiqing also panicked, "How did this become an incident of malicious retaliation against society?"

Who could withstand such an accusation?

"Please do not approach the suspect." The police stopped Khor Peiqing.

Around them, many factory workers looked at Khor Peiqing and Lin Huaijin with extremely cold gazes.

"Murderer..."

"He seemed so honest before, who would have thought he could be so venomous."

"I see no need for an investigation, Lin Huaijin is the group leader, he’s the only one who could have access to the switches."

"Peiqing, call Ah Lan and tell her I won’t be home for dinner tonight." Lin Huaijin could still smile and comfort her at this time, "Let her and Wenli go home first."

Khor Peiqing paused, then nodded.

This was the first time in four years that she dialed Ye Wanlan’s phone number.

The call was quickly answered, and the girl’s voice was clear and cold.

"Hello, Auntie."

"Your uncle has something to do, he won’t be back today." Khor Peiqing’s tone was cool, and if listened to carefully, it had a slight tremble, "I have to work late too, please pick up Wenli from high school No. 1 after school and then go to the old house first."

Ye Wanlan’s eyes slightly sharpened.

She didn’t need to investigate further, she knew Khor Peiqing was lying to her.

Just then, the radio in the car came on.

"This just in, at one o’clock today, a major incident occurred at the Yuandao Chemical Plant in the North Suburb of Jiangcheng, with a deadly chemical element leaking, resulting in thirty-seven people being taken to the nearest hospital." On the radio, the reporter’s voice was grave and serious, "The suspect has been taken into custody, and our reporting will continue..."

"Thirty-seven people?" Rong Yu, who was driving, was shocked, "This is indeed a major incident. Chemical plants are usually very cautious about such matters, how could something like this happen?"

In the back seat, Yan Tingfeng looked to his right, "Miss Ye’s uncle..."

Ye Wanlan spoke, "Auntie, my uncle has had an accident, hasn’t he?"

She asked this question calmly, not waiting for Khor Peiqing to answer, she looked up ahead.

The car was already entering the city center, and the road ahead was not smooth.

A five-kilometer distance could be jammed for forty minutes.

"Let me drive." After speaking, Ye Wanlan quickly got out of the car.

Rong Yu hadn’t reacted before Yan Tingfeng lifted him up first.

Opening the car door, pushing him into the backseat, closing the door, the series of actions were as smooth as silk.

"Thank you." Ye Wanlan took the driver’s seat, fastening the seat belt with one hand and gripping the steering wheel with the other.

Meanwhile, she spoke to Khor Peiqing, "Auntie, I’ll be there soon."

Wait for me.
