Broken in?

Lin Qi was very surprised at the guard’s choice of word.

Who would break in in this era? How did they break in?

Who was it?

For some reason, Lin Qi felt slightly uneasy. He put down his chopsticks and stood up, about to go outside to see what was going on.

But the door of the hall was kicked open with a “bang”.

A group of fierce-looking people barged in. Almost all of them looked vicious and even had weapons on their waists. The line of servants near the door couldn’t help but stagger back a few steps, panicking. They stared in fear at the strangers who had just barged in!

These people were divided into two rows and were all standing straight. From the door to the hall, and then from the gate, a few figures slowly walked over.

The group of people was led by Lu Zhaoying and Qian Dui. Cheng Mu and s.h.i.+ Liming followed behind them.

Further back, Jiang Hui, who had come to watch the show, also followed behind. This scene was a little familiar. Lin Qi stared at Lu Zhaoying and suddenly remembered seeing this exact scene when Chen Shulan was critically ill last year.

He particularly remembered Lu Zhaoying’s face.

“Sir, may I ask what’s the matter?” Putting down his chopsticks, he took two steps forward and asked, a gentle smile still on his face.

He was even more shocked to see Jiang Hui standing at the back.

“Jiang…” He gasped. He didn’t dare to neglect these people and greeted Jiang Hui the moment he spoke.

But before he could finish his greeting, Jiang Hui interrupted him directly. “Ignore me, I just came over to watch the show.”

He waved his hand and then raised an eyebrow at Lu Zhaoying.

Lu Zhaoying’s expression was cold, and his usual indifferent aura had completely disappeared. He swept his eyes across the entire dining table and fixed his eyes on Meng Xinran. “Take her away!”

He didn’t bother beating about the bush and directly turned his head.

A group of bodyguards stepped forward and took hold of Meng Xinran, who was still in a daze.

At the dining table, Lin Qi, Qin Yu, Ning Qing, and the others were shocked. They stood up immediately. Lin Qi’s expression changed drastically at this scene. “What crime has Xinran committed? What you’re doing is illegal!”

The Meng family had entrusted Meng Xinran to him, so how could he just let her be taken away like this?

Lu Zhaoying ignored Lin Qi. He wasn’t bothered with people of his level.

The group of people took the dazed Meng Xinran away.

“Liu Dui!” Lin Qi saw the man at the end and recognized him out of all the other people.

Expressionlessly, Liu Dui paused a little before glancing at Lin Qi. He lowered his voice and said indifferently, “Mr. Lin, it’s completely legal for us to catch Miss Meng. As for why, unless you want the promised base to be gone, then it’s best not to ask too much nor care too much.”

Lin Qi chased after them only to see the back of Lu Zhaoying’s car.

He pressed his head, seeing stars. Who on earth had Meng Xinran provoked?

“Dad, what’s going on?” Qin Yu also chased after him.

Shaking his head, Lin Qi took out his phone and made a call to the Meng family. His expression was completely dissociated. “I don’t know yet, but I have to inform the Meng family first.”

The Meng family had entrusted Meng Xinran to the Lin family, but now that such a thing had happened, Lin Qi couldn’t possibly hide it from them.

In the hospital.

Qin Ran had to stay in the hospital for observation for another day and would be discharged tomorrow afternoon.

Feng Loucheng and Pan Mingyue were both there.

In the ward, Qiao Sheng and Lin Siran were afraid that Qin Ran would let her imagination run wild, so they had stayed behind. Butler Cheng was afraid that these people wouldn’t know the severity of her injuries, so he had specially brought a family doctor to take care of her.

Even though it was a VIP ward and was more s.p.a.cious than a normal ward, it was still slightly crowded because of all the people inside.

“Left hand?” Feng Loucheng didn’t sit and just flipped through her report. He looked at her plastered left hand and felt a little relieved. “It’s a blessing in disguise. She should recover at ease, there’s no need to worry about other things.”

Feng Loucheng lowered his eyebrows and concealed his anger.

Whoever it was that dared to target Qin Ran’s hand, he would let him sit in prison.

Qiao Sheng and the others didn’t know what Feng Loucheng was thinking, but when they heard him, they couldn’t help but exchange glances. Qin Ran had hurt her left hand, but it was a blessing in disguise?

She couldn’t even take the college entrance examination…

Pan Mingyue still had short hair. She waited for the others to finish talking, and after thinking for a moment, said quietly, “Can you guys go out for a while? I want to tell her something privately.”

After seeing Qin Ran’s injury, Feng Loucheng had heaved a sigh of relief and was in the mood to take care of other things now. Thus, he nodded and took out his phone to call Qian Dui.

Qiao Sheng and the others also went out.

As soon as they left, Lin Siran closed the door and saw Lin Jinxuan coming over from the elevator entrance.

“Uncle Feng.” Lin Jinxuan had a good relations.h.i.+p with Feng Ci and had also seen Feng Loucheng several times.

Although he knew that Qin Ran knew Feng Loucheng, he was still shocked to see him at her door and immediately greeted him politely.

Holding his phone, Feng Loucheng glanced at him and nodded slightly. Then, he remembered something. “It’s just you?”

Lin Jinxuan pursed his lips. At the thought of Ning Qing’s att.i.tude at the dining table, he was unable to find words to reply to him.

If Qin Yu had been the one injured, Ning Qing would have already rushed over, right?

At his silence, Feng Loucheng could also guess the situation. His eyes were full of ridicule as he said, “Come and take a look at Ran Ran. But wait a minute, Mingyue is still talking to her inside.”

Lin Qi failed to contact the Meng family in Beijing throughout the whole afternoon.

He had called Liu Dui to find out about Meng Xinran but to no avail.

There wasn’t the tiniest bit of fluctuation on the entire surface of Yun Cheng, so Lin Qi was in a bundle of nerves.

It wasn’t until the next day, on the morning of June 6th, that he received a call from the Meng family.

Father Meng’s voice sounded very tired. “Brother-in-law, the Meng family is over…”

Lin Qi’s expression changed greatly. “How is that possible? Is it because of Xinran?”

After Liu Dui’s words yesterday, he already felt like things weren’t as simple. He was on tenterhooks and hadn’t slept well at night.

“I don’t know. I heard she was involved in a premeditated murder case and offended a big boss in Yun Cheng. The Meng Corporation was seized overnight. I’ve contacted countless people in Beijing and have yet to find out who she offended. If I know who it is, there might be a ray of hope…”

Without even showing his face, the other party had directly squashed the Meng family. The people related to this case didn’t dare to even reveal a surname, so Father Meng really had no clue who Meng Xinran had offended!

“Pre- premeditated murder?” Lin Qi instantly thought of Qin Ran’s car accident yesterday.

She knew Lu Zhaoying and Jiang Hui.

He held onto this information and stood up directly. His voice was very heavy as he said, “If that’s the case, I think I know who she has offended.”

Lin Qi briefly explained Qin Ran’s situation to him.

“Aunt Zhang, go and call Madam to come down.” Lin Qi hung up the phone.

Aunt Zhang went upstairs to call Ning Qing.

When she came downstairs, she happened to receive a call from Father Meng.

His voice over the phone was kind and flattering, which made her feel bewildered.

In fact, Ning Qing and the Meng family had been in an awkward relations.h.i.+p, but because of Qin Yu, the Meng family had started getting closer to Ning Qing and the others recently.

Qin Yu was almost helpless in Beijing and mostly relied on the Shen and Meng families.

In the past, Ning Qing didn’t even have the qualifications to listen to the Meng family’s affairs. Who knew that there would be a day when Father Meng and the Meng family would beg her so humbly.

She answered the phone in astonishment.

Then, she went upstairs to get her bag and glanced at Lin Qi. “Let’s go.”

Over here.

Originally, Meng Xinran thought she would be interrogated or tortured. She had even prepared her excuses.

However, there was nothing.

Instead of questioning or torturing her, the other party locked her up in an empty cell.

In the afternoon and evening, those people would hand her a bowl of rice and a gla.s.s of water through the small window each time.

Meng Xinran didn’t have her phone nor a watch.

She didn’t know how much time had pa.s.sed, nor whether it was time for the college entrance examination. Her original calm composure finally cracked.

She started slapping the door and shouting like crazy.

She even threatened to sue them.

When her voice became hoa.r.s.e from shouting, someone opened the door and took her to the interrogation room.

There were only one table and two chairs in the interrogation room. The chairs were placed on opposite sides of the table.

Meng Xinran saw Qin Ran sitting on one of the chairs. “Why are you here?”

Her eyes flashed involuntarily when she saw her left hand.

This was the only thing that made her happy after being locked up for so long.

It seemed like Qin Ran really couldn’t take the college entrance examination, after all.

“You racked your brains for a scheme to target my left hand, all to prevent me from taking the college entrance examination?” Qin Ran spun a pen with her right hand and leaned against the back of the chair. She raised an eyebrow, her face still cold and indifferent.

Meng Xinran didn’t reply. She calmed herself down and sat down opposite her. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Qin Ran smiled.

Without speaking, she picked up a pen with her right hand, and in front of her, wrote down a line on the notebook.
