Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Mom, Did You Fight with Someone Else Too?

However, Qin Yan had been trapped in the Night Club for so long, without her smartphone or wallet, Bo Yunshen quickly realized the crux of the matter.

A cigarette burned to its end, the heat reached Bo Yunshen’s fingertips, his eyes dark and cold. He raised his hand and stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray, then immediately lit another one.

This TINA was really mysterious, casting an intimidating shadow over the entertainment industry with many driven to desperation by her.

Bo Yunshen, however, was not afraid. After all, the Bo Family’s status in Tong City was built on true merits over the years, unlike those celebrities who relied on scandals and hype.

Moreover, on that Thursday, he did not attend the celebration party with Tang Tian, but left early instead; he spent the first half of yesterday working, then went to the police station to pick up Qin Yinyin... all in all, it had been a complete mess.

As for today, he had not left the house at all.

Bo Yunshen shifted his position.

After Lin Man had left, to spite Qin Yan, he played the field, linked daily with countless new stars and fresh models. These topics had been his game for three years, and the media had grown adept at capturing him.

Even occasionally when he met reporters, some would negotiate with him for a favorable pose or a smile.

It was a tired act; only those obsessed with tallying which stars and models he’d been with would tirelessly generate buzz, but in Tong City, it would hardly cause a stir.

No matter how much Bo Yunshen thought about it, he couldn’t figure out what kind of dirt or old news TINA could possibly reveal about him.

Sitting in front of the computer, Bo Yunshen took a drag of his cigarette. The smoke curled slowly from his mouth, the pungent tobacco scent spreading from the tip of his nose, momentarily numbing his nerves.

He let out a cold laugh, the chill in his eyes turning to scorn, which slowly faded into silence at the tips of his eyebrows.

This "scandal queen", could she possibly be desperate for fame?

Thinking of making waves with another revelation about him? Now that Manman was not around, he was curious to see what kind of surge TINA could create in his life.

After all, it was the first time TINA had named someone twice on her Weibo. This person couldn’t naively believe that a few trivial news pieces could topple the Bo Group’s edifice overnight, could they?

The room was dimly lit, the curtains tightly drawn, casting sneers of cold light across the man’s face.

Nothing but smoke and mirrors!

...

After Qin Yan left Hai Wan Xiang Xie with Qin Yinyin, she still couldn’t suppress the array of emotions within her.

The midmorning sun was blazing; even if it was still morning, it was intensely hot!

Qin Yan hadn’t eaten in a long time, feeling uneven and agitated inside, and once outside, the world before her eyes went dark in waves.

Qin Yan pursed her lips, leading Qin Yinyin down a broad highway towards the shade of the trees.

Hai Wan Xiang Xie was a detached villa located in the suburbs, and after leaving, Qin Yan realized just how remote it was – probably not easy to hail a taxi!

Especially since she was without her smartphone or wallet...

Qin Yan took a deep breath, glancing at Qin Yinyin’s face, which was slightly flushed from the heat, feeling a pang of regret. Yet, when she thought of Bo Yunshen’s attitude, she pursed her lips tightly again.

No matter whether Bo Yunshen believed Yinyin was his daughter or not, he should never have laid a hand on Qin Yinyin.

Qin Yan took a deep breath, her clothes somewhat dirty. She simply gave up on getting them treated, and sat down for a while in a slightly shaded spot by the roadside to alleviate her dizziness and blurred vision.

Qin Yan was lucky; after about ten minutes, she flagged down a passing taxi.

As soon as the car stopped, the taxi driver cast a suspicious glance at her. Given Qin Yan’s disheveled appearance, he hesitated for quite some time before finally asking, "Do you have money? I don’t give free rides."

Qin Yan’s expression stiffened, and she suddenly remembered that last night, upon leaving the hospital, Bo Yunshen had thrown a stack of banknotes at her face to humiliate her. She touched her suit jacket, now torn beyond recognition, and pulled out a few bills. She softly said, "I have money."

Once the driver saw the money in her hand, his expression softened.

He stretched out his hand, smiling as he unlocked the central control lock. After Qin Yan got into the car with Qin Yinyin in arms and gave the address of Xing Yue Bay, the taxi driver then asked, "Miss, have you and your daughter encountered some trouble? Do you need me to call the police?"

Qin Yan paused.

Call the police to arrest Bo Yunshen?

The Bo Family had immense power over Tong City; even if the police came, he would undoubtedly just go in for a cup of tea and then be escorted out respectfully.

The woman chuckled lowly and said, "No need, Sir. I lost my phone last night. Could you let me use your phone to make a call?"

The taxi driver agreed, unlocking and passing his phone to Qin Yan, saying, "Go ahead."

Qin Yan blinked, thanked him, and took the phone, dialing Xiao Shen’s number.

As soon as the call connected, Qin Yan asked, "Xiao Shen, do you know who took away my bag and phone on the night of the celebration party?"

Qin Yan wasn’t so concerned about the money and phone. It was just that the bag contained a lot of documents, and the thought of going through the hassle of replacing them was bothersome.

She wasn’t holding out much hope; she just wanted to ask if Xiao Shen had taken them for her!

"Director Qin? Where did you go on Friday? Director Lu has been frantically looking for you," Xiao Shen paused before adding, "Your phone and bag were sent to the company last night; I took them to my place..."

Qin Yan furrowed her brows and said, "After we hang up, call Director Lu and tell him I’m fine. Then order a local express delivery to send my bag to my house; I need it."

Without any news from Qin Yan all day, Xiao Shen inevitably had lots of questions. Qin Yan briefly responded and then ended the call, returning the phone to the taxi driver.

After arriving at Xing Yue Bay, Qin Yan paid the fare and carried Qin Yinyin down from the car.

Since coming out from Hai Wan Xiang Xie, Qin Yinyin’s mood had been very low. Even without her saying anything, Qin Yan could guess it was because of Bo Yunshen.

A flicker of confusion passed through Qin Yan’s eyes rapidly—could Qin Yinyin’s fondness for Bo Yunshen truly be chalked up to blood ties?

Because the keys were in the bag, Qin Yan and Qin Yinyin stood waiting at the front door for a while. After receiving the express package sent from Xiao Shen, Qin Yan finally took out the keys from the bag and unlocked the door to enter the house.

Qin Yan was a healer; as soon as she entered, she grabbed the medical kit to treat Qin Yinyin’s wounds.

Her own face still bore ferocious finger marks. Qin Yinyin reached out with her chubby little hand to touch and asked softly, "Mommy, did you get into a fight with someone too?"

On hearing these words, Qin Yan couldn’t control her movements, and she inadvertently pressed down a bit harder.
