Chapter 88: 088 Young Master Yan Presents Another Gift, Qin Family Powerless to Return Favor【2 More Updates】

When these two characters were mentioned, Madam Qin almost didn’t react.

"How is it a criminal case just because something was done?" Patriarch Qin was both shocked and angry, "He just got out of the hospital a few days ago and has been immobile, he entered the hospital again yesterday, where did this criminal case come from?"

Steward Qin was about to say something when the door to the sickroom was suddenly burst open.

A squadron of police officers walked in, and the officer leading them looked at Qin Xian with undisguised disgust, "Take him away!"

Madam Qin blocked Qin Xian and shouted angrily, "On what grounds are you arresting him?"

"The arrest warrant from the procuratorate has already been issued," the leading officer took out the arrest warrant, his voice cold, "Arresting him, of course, is because the evidence is conclusive. Could you as parents not know what he has done?"

That was more than thirty lives!

Madam Qin looked towards Qin Xian, "Ah Xian, don’t be afraid, you’ve been staying at home all along, Mom has seen it all."

But Qin Xian couldn’t stop shaking, he clenched his teeth, without saying a word.

He had been very meticulous in his actions this time, how could the police have uncovered it so quickly?

The one who should have been arrested was Lin Huaijin!

The officer, as someone who had undergone rigorous training, could see Qin Xian’s fear and pretense at a glance, "Framing others, adding to your crimes, there’s no escaping jail time, and the death penalty is not impossible."

Madam Qin’s ears buzzed, in disbelief, "Death, the death penalty?"

How had it escalated to the death penalty?

"Officer, you see he’s still sick and hospitalized, can we get a few days extension?" Patriarch Qin hurriedly said, "He’s here and can’t run away."

Although he said this, his mind was already considering how to get Qin Xian out of the country.

"He’s conscious, and though he can’t move his feet, it doesn’t affect the progress of the case, he cannot be granted bail," the officer glanced at Qin Xian’s condition, "Take him away!"

"You can arrest me, but you should also arrest Ye Wanlan!" Qin Xian struggled violently, his face twisted, "She’s the one who beat me into this state, she has also broken the law!"

"One thing at a time, we are only responsible for criminal cases," the officer unmercifully handcuffed Qin Xian, "You can file a complaint."

The two other officers placed him in a wheelchair and forcibly took him away.

Nobody managed to stop them, leaving Madam Qin and Patriarch Qin sitting there in a daze.

In the past, there had been police visiting their home, but those were civil cases, which could be mediated.

But criminal...

Patriarch Qin’s gaze grew dark, "What’s going on? How could the Yuandao Chemical Plant incident be connected to Ah Xian?"

This was Jiangcheng’s biggest case of the year, and Qin Xian was the suspect?

"I, I don’t know," Madam Qin, unusually flustered, said, "His movements were limited, it wasn’t easy for him to go out, I didn’t imagine he could cause such a big mess."

If someone needed to vent, that was fine, but they should have at least discussed it with her!

Now, not only did they fail to take a bite out of Ye Wanlan, but they also ended up sending themselves to jail.

Madam Qin suddenly said, "Old Qin, something’s not right! If it wasn’t for me asking Mr. Shen Que to treat Ah Xian yesterday, he wouldn’t have woken up today, and if he hadn’t woken up today..."

"What’s wrong with that?" Patriarch Qin frowned, "With such an unexpected incident, you couldn’t have predicted it, and of course, your primary concern was for Ah Xian’s wellbeing."

"But..." Madam Qin hesitated, "But I always feel something is off, very off, it’s too much of a coincidence."

Where exactly is it?

**

Ye Wanlan slept for eighteen hours straight, and when she opened her eyes it was already ten in the morning.

After waking up, she found new clothes for changing on the bedside table, which she took with her to the bathroom. After washing up, she changed into them.

"Ah Lan, you’re finally awake." Lin Huaijin had been sitting at home anxiously, he gave a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Wanlan come out, "I didn’t dare to wake you, but I was also afraid you really had overslept."

"How could that be?" Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "I still have many things to accomplish, I can’t just sleep."

"Have some porridge first to fill your stomach," Lin Huaijin said, "Earlier, a Mister Yan came looking for you, waited for a few hours, and seeing that you didn’t wake up, he left something behind and then left."

Ye Wanlan nodded, "Hmm, my patient. What did he bring?"

"I don’t know, waiting for you to open it," Lin Huaijin pointed to the gift box on the coffee table.

Ye Wanlan approached and opened the gift box, inside was a long case.

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she opened the case.

Inside the case were eighteen familiar needles, nine golden needles, and nine silver needles.

This set of gold and silver needles bore some resemblance to the set gifted to her by Shui Yunqing, the Master of Taiyi Palace, three hundred years ago.

In her previous life, although she had recited the Taiyi Divine Needle techniques by heart and could precisely pinpoint diseases and ailments, she was unable to practice medicine due to her constitution.

"What is this?" Lin Huaijin was curious, "For embroidery?"

Ye Wanlan: "No, for killing people."

Lin Huaijin: "???"

"I misspoke, for saving people," Ye Wanlan calmly stated, "You’ve heard of acupuncture, Uncle?"

Lin Huaijin: "...But can acupuncture kill people?"

"Uncle, you misheard, I didn’t say the words ’kill people,’" Ye Wanlan replied serenely, closing the case.

Lin Huaijin stared at the girl, and after a few seconds, he muttered, "Maybe it really was just my mishearing."

His niece was still well-behaved and sensible!

Ye Wanlan gently caressed the long box, her eyes slightly narrowed.

The Taiyi Divine Needle could indeed save lives, but it could also take them.

Her ability to kill was indeed much stronger than her ability to save lives.

"Ah Lan, stop looking at the needles and come eat, you’ve slept for so long, you must be starving," Lin Huaijin called her over, "Your aunt and Wenli went out to buy groceries, I’ll make you another fish later to nourish your body."

Ye Wanlan complied and sat down, "Thank you, uncle, you’re really kind."

Lin Huaijin thought to himself.

Such a good girl.

Meanwhile, Bing He was reporting the incident to Yan Tingfeng.

"Young Master, Qin Xian has already been arrested, the evidence is conclusive, and even if the Qin Family hires the best lawyer for him, it won’t help," he said.

Yan Tingfeng knocked on the table indifferently, "Will there be a lawyer to help them?"

"Absolutely not!" Bing He understood, "Qin Xian committed many evils, he must be severely punished."

The phone pinged, and Yan Tingfeng glanced down.

In an instant, the fierce killing aura emanating from him dispersed, as if a storm had suddenly turned into fine rain, dropping gently.

Bing He was startled, completely unaccustomed to this.

[Ye]: I received the gift, I will return the favor. But the cup you gave me last time, is it worth tens of thousands of gold?

Yan Tingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, it didn’t take him to think before he thought of the sneaky Shen Que.

[Yan]: It was a gift from someone I did a favor for, if Miss Ye doesn’t like it, I can send something else.

[Ye]: No, I like it very much, it’s just very expensive.

[Yan]: Miss Ye is worth more than tens of thousands of gold to me, even the most expensive cup is just for drinking water.

After replying, Yan Tingfeng looked indifferent and dialed Shen Que’s phone number.

"Hello? What’s up?" Shen Que was happy, "Why would you, such a busy person, call me personally?"

Yan Tingfeng said coldly, "You have two hours, get back to Yunjing."

"What?!" Shen Que was shocked, "I don’t even have time to buy a plane ticket in two hours, what did I do?"

"A plane will pick you up shortly, disappear as soon as possible." Without waiting for Shen Que to argue, Yan Tingfeng had already hung up.

Bing He weighed his words for a while and after a few minutes cautiously continued his report, "Young Master, the police will issue a notice shortly."

"Hmm," Yan Tingfeng rested his head on his hand, "Don’t block the breeze."

Bing He immediately rolled out, he had to go and complain to Tie Ma about the Young Master’s mood changing too fast, leaving him unable to cope.

Just when Patriarch Qin and Madam Qin were frantically trying to pull strings, a report from the Jiangcheng North Suburb police station appeared simultaneously on TV, radio, Weibo, and other major media apps.

[Police Report]: On June 28th at 12:33 PM, Qin Mou (male, 24 years old, from Jiangcheng) planned a major social jeopardizing case, causing more than thirty workers at the Yuandao Chemical Plant to be poisoned and then attempted to frame innocent people.

Upon receiving the report, our department immediately started an investigation according to the law, we have now collected a complete chain of evidence, the person involved has been arrested, and further investigation of other personnel is underway.

...

Although the police report did not announce Qin Xian’s full name, netizens are always sharp-eyed and well-informed, quickly deducing through the trail of clues that Qin Mou was indeed Qin Xian.

[The third son of the Jiangcheng Qin Family, the Qin Family is a grand household with countless enterprises under its command.]

[What third son? Pah! He’s nothing but scum, abusing power and harming innocent people.]

[Is this the fine son raised by a grand household? Where is the upbringing? The character?]

[Some are truly grand households, some are fake, what is the Qin Family compared to the Rong Family?]

[Boycott all products from Qin Corporation! Exploiting our hard-earned money and oppressing us, such an unscrupulous group must be brought down as soon as possible!]

The police report completely nailed Qin Xian’s actions, and as a consequence, the stock of Qin Corporation dropped by two points in an instant.

Patriarch Qin hurried back to the company to hold a shareholders’ meeting.

Madam Qin went to the police station with Steward Qin while contacting lawyers on the side.

But to her disbelief, no matter how much money she offered, not a single law firm was willing to take the case.

"Madam, it’s been figured out, those chemical plant workers admitted to the hospital are all out of life-threatening danger," Steward Qin whispered, "Shall we do it as before and use money to silence them?"

Madam Qin was much wearier: "Alright, give them the money first, make sure they don’t cause any more trouble."

The situation Qin Xian was entangled with this time was really too big, she had no confidence in being able to save him.

What to do?

As she waited, Madam Qin became more and more restless.

After a full three hours, she was finally allowed to enter.

"What exactly is going on with Ah Xian’s case?" Madam Qin asked tentatively, "Is it possible that if the victims forgive us, Ah Xian could be given a lighter sentence?"

"A lighter sentence?" Director Liu laughed, distant and cold, "Madam Qin, do you realize the magnitude of this case and who is in charge of the investigation?"
