The conversation ended briefly, and Qin Manshu watched Ji Shuli's departing figure, her smile gradually fading.

She continued living an almost puppet-like life, doing whatever Old Mrs. Qin told her to do.

However, compared to before, when she had to worry about the situation of Baishi Pharmaceuticals and make decisions for Jiang Shichu who couldn't make up his mind, Jiang Shichu could feel Qin Manshu's sullenness and depression. Sometimes Qin Manshu would stare at one spot as if thinking about something, and in the end, she would cry and ruin her makeup. Her emotions were getting more and more out of control.

Jiang Shichu also suggested finding a psychologist for Qin Manshu. When he subtly asked her if she was under too much pressure, Qin Manshu coldly retorted, "Do you think I'm sick? If that's what you think, then just leave me alone."

She seemed to be carrying a lot of thoughts, but she didn't tell anyone about them.

Qin Manshu encountered various problems.

Ye Zhiwei also discovered that Qin Manshu was in contact with a middle-aged woman when Qin Manshu was in a bad state. The woman looked old and probably didn't have a good family situation. However, one could still vaguely see her beauty in her youth from her aged and faded appearance.

Through layers of investigation, it was discovered that the woman was actually the mother of one of the patients Qin Manshu regularly came into contact with at the mental hospital.

But these things don't reveal anything. It's impossible to know their conversation. All we can see is that the woman kept crying in front of Qin Manshu, crying when she entered the private room and still crying when she came out.

Qin Manshu was known for her good temper and gentleness towards patients, but she was unusually cold-hearted towards this patient's family member. She simply watched coldly and left without even glancing at the woman.

Ye Zhiwei was somewhat surprised when she heard these words. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that some of Qin Manshu's actions had affected Jiang Jianian and Ye Yingying, making Ye Zhiwei suspicious of Qin Manshu's motives and unable to completely put her mind at ease, she wouldn't have had much of a problem with Qin Manshu.

Although Qin Manshu's behavior has some shortcomings, she is indeed widely praised as a doctor and a medical professional. Online comments about Qin Manshu invariably praise her for being beautiful and kind-hearted. There was a time when some children were arguing over how to reduce the cost of treatment for their elderly relatives, and Qin Manshu intervened. After failing to persuade them, she even used her own money to help the elderly person.

Qin Manshu may have had issues, but as a doctor, she truly fulfilled her responsibilities as a physician.

However, if Qin Manshu were truly dedicated to her profession, why would she display such indifference?

Ye Zhiwei is in a situation where there seems to be no solution.

She had a bad feeling, but she couldn't see anything wrong with Qin Manshu, so she could only wait and see.

After returning from the seminar, Jiang Jianian did not directly tell Ye Zhiwei about the situation. He still spent a lot of time with Ye Zhiwei, and Ye Zhiwei would only ask about Qin Manshu's situation when she had free time.

But unexpectedly, trouble struck the Qin family just when Ye Zhiwei thought everything would be peaceful from then on.

This was completely unexpected for Ye Zhiwei; Old Mrs. Qin would suddenly have an accident.

Ye Zhiwei was shocked. Bai Zhi had told her this news. The Qin family had not yet announced it to the public. Moreover, the old lady seemed to have suddenly become unwell. The two caregivers were terrified and immediately called the hospital. Although the ambulance arrived quickly, the old lady could not be saved in the end.

Mrs. Qin was already in poor health, and recently she seems to be getting worse. She used to participate in activities frequently, but recently she hasn't gone out twice except for attending a seminar.

Although her health had never been very good, she was taking medication to keep it up, and it hadn't reached a very serious stage. But this time, it didn't happen suddenly; Old Mrs. Qin left without any warning, as if her health had suddenly deteriorated.

It is unclear whether it was a relative of the Qin family or a servant who called the police. The Qin family matriarch died suddenly, and the police intervened in the investigation. Qin Manshu was also called to the police station.

The police are only questioning Qin Manshu, the caregiver who was with the old lady, and even the maids and housekeeper in the house, as a routine procedure, because someone reported the case.

The police were also unclear about the situation. They had received a report and sent people to investigate the relevant circumstances of Old Mrs. Qin. However, seeing that Qin Manshu's eyes were red and she was not in a good state, the police were unwilling to assume the worst about such a large family. They politely told this young woman who had made great contributions to S City, "We received a report from the other party, so we intervened to inquire about some circumstances."

Qin Manshu nodded, "I was also very saddened by my grandmother's sudden accident. If anything happens to her this time, I will definitely cooperate."

The police then asked, "When did you find out about your grandmother's accident? Where were you and what were you doing when it happened?"

“I was at the hospital at the time. Besides managing the company, I also see patients. There was a patient there at the time. The hospital has records of these cases. I can get them for you if you need them.”

"Oh, okay, we're just taking a quick statement, Miss Qin, you don't need to be nervous."

Qin Manshu wiped away her tears. "I wasn't nervous, I was just a little sad thinking about Grandma."

"How is your relationship with your grandmother?"

Qin Manshu pondered for a moment before lowering her head and saying, "She's rather strict with me, so she probably doesn't like me very much."

The police glanced at Qin Manshu, asked a few routine questions, and then someone came over and said something to him. The police went out for a while, then came back in with a document and said to Qin Manshu, "Do you know who called the police? She claimed to be your mother and said that the incident involving Old Mrs. Qin was related to you. We only started investigating because we found that the call was made by your Qin family. But now we've found out that your mother has a history of mental illness?"

Qin Manshu seemed slightly taken aback when she heard the other party mention her mother, then nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect my mother to make this call. She does have this problem, but we always keep her at home and take good care of her. She also has caregivers around her, so she has always received medical treatment at home. I didn't expect her to obstruct judicial resources."

Upon hearing Qin Manshu's apology, the police officer who had just questioned Qin Manshu said, "Perhaps your mother saw something else. Your grandmother is a very influential entrepreneur. Even if your mother hadn't called the police, we would have intervened to investigate if any other circumstances arose."
