Chapter 135 Find Your Sister

This issue itself is not difficult to resolve.

Many of those working under Qi Siyue were eager to prove themselves.

Although this matter involves a criminal case, the post was made by a marketing account, and the content was all created by the marketing account itself.

As for Qi Jianyue, at most she just spent some money and provided a picture; she's just an accomplice, so no matter how she's sentenced, it won't be too severe.

Furthermore, with the help of a lawyer, bail can be easily obtained; at most, it will just leave a criminal record.

But a criminal record can secure a promotion opportunity within Tianhe Group, so it's a worthwhile deal.

After giving his instructions and comforting Qi Jianyue, Qi Siyue left the bedroom and went downstairs when he heard the phone ringing.

Just then, a maid happened to pass by and picked up the cell phone, whose screen was shattered but which was still stubbornly able to make calls.

"Young Master, it sounds like it's Miss Si calling."

Qi Siyue originally wanted to get rid of the maid, but then he remembered that Qi Xi was now locked in the bedroom alone because she was going to call the police to expose Qi Jianyue.

If she doesn't answer the phone, the person calling might guess that something has happened to her, and if they call the police to look for her, it will be a hassle.

Qi Siyue has always been someone who dislikes trouble and will never put off until tomorrow anything that can be resolved immediately.

I picked up the phone and could barely make out the character "pear" on the broken screen.

Upon seeing this word, Qi Siyue couldn't help but recall that Qi Xi had just quarreled with her family because of the female host she mentioned.

It seems to be named something like "Pear". Could it be the person who is making the phone call right now?

As soon as the call connected, a clear, melodious voice came from the other end: "Xixi, it's already eight o'clock. Didn't you say you were already out of the police station? Did you sneak off to buy some late-night snacks again?"

"You absolutely can't buy barbecue, otherwise I'll just have to watch you eat it and it'll make me so hungry..."

Before the person on the other end could finish muttering, Qi Siyue interrupted directly: "Xiao Xi will be sleeping at home tonight and won't be going back."

Upon hearing a man's voice, Yu Li immediately became alert: "Who are you? How did you get Xi Xi's phone?"

“I am her brother. She is at home. Xiaoxi will be busy with banquet arrangements for the next two days and will not be going out. Please do not call again.”

Yu Li didn't finish her sentence: "But..."

Qi Siyue hung up the phone immediately, pulled out the SIM card, and casually tossed the phone to the maid.

"It's lost."

Maid: "Yes, young master."

After being hung up on, Yu Li stared at her phone, increasingly feeling that something was amiss.

Even though her best friend had gone back to the Qi family, Yu Li had heard from her friend that Li Rujun had called her today and asked her to go back to the Qi family to try on dresses.

But even if it's all for the sake of the family reunion banquet, how busy can it really be?

Besides, no matter how busy she is, her best friend will always find time to return her calls instead of having her brother answer them.

Furthermore, her best friend doesn't have a good relationship with the Qi family. Qi Xi gets angry whenever the Qi family's oddballs are mentioned, so it's even less likely that she would let any of her brothers answer the phone, even though she does have two blood-related brothers.

Yu Li felt something was wrong and called back.

This time, however, the call notification tone immediately indicated that the call could not be connected.

The first thing Yu Li thought of was calling Qi Chenyan.

But considering it's daytime overseas, Qi Chenyan must still be busy. Making this call might distract him.

Maybe we should check first. If my best friend is okay, that would be the best outcome.

If they are not at the Qi family's residence, then Qi Chenyan will have to step in.

Yu Li thought for a moment, and finally dialed Zhou Heran's number.

When Zhou Heran received Yu Li's call, he was a little surprised: "Sister-in-law, why aren't you asleep yet at this hour?"

"I'm sorry to have troubled you so much today, but I can't get in touch with Xixi right now. After she went to the police station with you to report the crime, what time did she leave you? Did she say where she was going?"

Zhou Heran, who had been leisurely lounging on the sofa, sat up and wiped the smile off his face upon hearing this.

“When we left the police station, it was just before seven o’clock. I took her to Man Guifang and watched her enter the residential area before I left.”

"But speaking of which, I think I heard her mention something in the car, something about going back to some old house. Sister-in-law, what time did you lose contact with her? Should we call the police first?"

Yu Li: "You can only report a missing person to the police after 24 hours. It's not even 8 o'clock now, there's only one hour left, so the police won't accept the case."

"But when I made my first call, a man answered. He said he was Xixi's brother and that she was at home, busy with the family reunion banquet in two days, and it was inconvenient for her to answer the phone."

"When I called back, I couldn't get through. But Xixi's relationship with her family has never been good, and it was my phone. She would never let someone else answer it, so I suspect that Xixi must have run into some trouble."

Yu Li said anxiously, "But I can't move around right now, so I'd like to ask you to help me take a look. You should be quite familiar with the area and it should be easy for you to come and go."

He not only knew Qi Xi's family, but was also familiar with them.

Zhou Heran was a little surprised: "I know him too?"

"Actually, Xixi is Qi Chenyan's niece, his biological daughter."

Zhou Heran didn't quite catch on for a moment: "Isn't Shen Yan's niece named Qi Jianyue... Wait, you mean, the one who recently reunited with the Qi family's biological daughter, Qi Xi?"

"Why didn't you sisters mention this before? Shen Yan didn't mention it either. I only found out now. I always thought that this girl's eyebrows and eyes looked a bit like Shen Yan's."

Yu Li sighed: "Because the Qi family didn't treat her well, Xi Xi didn't like the Qi family and didn't want to say that she was the Qi family's daughter in public, so I didn't mention it."

"The Qi family finally found their biological daughter, but they treat her badly? Are they out of their minds? But then again, apart from Shen Yan, there are no normal people in the Qi family, so it's not surprising that they would do such a bizarre thing."

As he spoke, Zhou Heran put on his clothes. "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll go to the Qi family's old house right now to check things out. I'll contact you as soon as I can."

Yu Li thanked her repeatedly with gratitude.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Heran drove to the Qi family's old house that very night.

Qi Siyue was still working in his study when the butler came to inform him: "Young Master, Young Master Zhou has arrived and says he has something to discuss with you."

The only person who can be called Young Master Zhou is Zhou Heran, one of Qi Chenyan's good brothers who grew up together.

Qi Siyue naturally dared not neglect his uncle's friend.

Moreover, before Qi Chenyan came of age and moved out of the old house to live alone, Zhou Heran often came to the old house to play, so he was very familiar with it.

"Si Yue, I hope I haven't disturbed your rest by coming so late?"

Zhou Heran began with some polite remarks.

Qi Siyue greeted him with a smile, "Of course not, it's been a long time since I've seen Brother He Ran. Is Brother He Ran here to see Uncle? Uncle is abroad on a visit and isn't home."

“I know, I’m not looking for him, I’m looking for your sister.”
