Upon arriving at the hospital lobby, Xu Jingzhi looked towards the hospital's main exit and saw Officer Liu walking towards him. He stopped in his tracks and did not proceed any further.
Song Leilei finally caught up with Xu Jingzhi and stood on tiptoe to help him hold the IV drip.
Officer Liu strode over: "I told you to rest and recover properly. You couldn't stay in the hospital. If I hadn't come, you would have run away. Luckily, the boss told me to stop by and take a look at you today. Three strikes and you're out. He told me to remind you that if you make any more decisions on your own, you won't even pass your probation period. Just focus on mastering the basics during your probation."
Xu Jingzhi still wouldn't give up: "Then, if you don't have enough manpower, remember to let me know."
Officer Liu ignored him, pointed in the direction of the inpatient department, and said, "Go back to your bed now."
Remembering the most important matter at hand, Xu Jingzhi said seriously, "Bai Qingchi's case also concerns my friend's safety. I want to ask, was she caught today? And what about the two people who were slashed?"
Xiao Liu: "We haven't caught anyone yet, but Zheng Guang, who helped her escape, has been arrested. As the eldest son of the Zheng Group, someone will probably want to protect him. We've also secretly increased our manpower to keep watch near the villa where Su Jin lives."
Xu Jingzhi: "Why did they escape to this island and stay here for so long? Is it possible that there is someone Bai Qingchi cares about here, or some other acquaintance?"
"The woman who worked as a waitress on the island with Bai Qingchi said that she went to get off work and left work on time every day, and she didn't see any other friends."
Hearing them talk about these things, Song Leilei suddenly had a naive little idea that popped out: "Could it be that her parents are on this island?"
Xiao Liu looked at Song Leilei and told her the facts she knew: "Bai Qingchi's parents are both deceased. Her mother passed away a long time ago, and her father has a terminal illness. She currently only has one younger brother. However, her younger brother is currently in jail for stealing Su Group's trade secrets, which is a serious offense."
Song Leilei didn't know Bai Qingchi had a younger brother. Her focus was rather peculiar as she asked, "Didn't her brother escape from prison?"
Officer Liu shook his head: "Because of good behavior in the past two years, he even had his sentence reduced by six months. Not everyone will choose to escape from prison."
“I remember Zheng Shao told me that he comes to the island once a year to pay respects to Bai Lao,” Xu Jingzhi said. “I know why they stay on the island for so long. It’s almost the anniversary of Bai Lao’s death, and Bai Qingchi wants to pay respects to his father here.”
Officer Liu thought Xu Jingzhi's idea was particularly good.
"When is the anniversary of Bai Lao's death?"
Xu Jingzhi blinked, her eyes glazed over, and sighed, "It's been recently, I don't know either. You see, Young Master Zheng is on the island, which means it's been just these past few days."
......
Su Jin fled from her room to the downstairs living room. Facing Zheng Qi's relentless questioning, she had lost all patience. This boy had been asking her from morning till night about her current relationship with her cousin, and why it had changed.
She knew Zheng Qi was asking about his thesis, but who would want to answer such a personal question?
Su Jin turned on the TV and randomly played a drama series, and Zheng Qi stayed close to her.
Zheng Qi: "Sister-in-law, please have some compassion. I really desperately want to know. How am I supposed to write this thesis if you don't answer me?"
Su Jin said irritably, "There are so many people in this world, and it's difficult for everyone. Why don't you go and date, find a girlfriend, and go through all the elements of your thesis? It's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Lin looked like he was about to leave.
He Ru followed, saying, "Brother Zheng Lin, if you're going to pay respects to Elder Bai, I'll go with you to see your benefactor."
As He Ru said this, she happened to glance at Su Jin, and immediately rolled her eyes to the sky.
"Stay home, everyone," Zheng Lin ordered, then went straight out the door.
As soon as Zheng Lin left, He Ru stomped her foot angrily. Noticing Su Jin looking at her, she snapped, "What are you looking at? If Brother Zheng Lin isn't taking me, he won't take you either. But he's just worried I'll run into danger."
"Yes, yes, yes." Su Jin nodded, agreeing with her, "I also think that he couldn't possibly not bring you along because he was afraid you'd be in trouble. He must be worried about your safety. If you get hurt, Young Master Zheng will be heartbroken. He won't be able to eat if you lose even a single hair."
He Ru snorted proudly, "You know that much."
She sat down next to Zheng Qi and said in a kind voice, "How's your thesis coming along? Do you need my help?"
After a night of internal struggle, He Ru decided to get along well with the Zheng family so that she could make a good impression and marry into the family smoothly.
Zheng Qi typed a line of text into the document and then fell into deep thought. When He Ru asked him a question, he immediately said, "No need."
"Don't you want to consider it? I can tell you the story of how I fell in love with your brother."
Zheng Qi slowly turned his head to look at He Ru, who immediately gave him a friendly smile.
Zheng Qi: "Love? You two love each other? Miss He, aren't you reading the question? Obviously, you can't help me."
How about: "......"
After saving the document, Zheng Qi put down the tablet, fixed his gaze on the TV, watched the current episode, grinned, and blindly praised Su Jin, "This drama is pretty good, it's a pity you're not in it. It would be even better if you were. Oh, by the way, sister-in-law, I've been watching your new drama too, did the male and female leads end up together?"
Zheng Qi treated He Ru and Su Jin with two completely different attitudes: one was cold and indifferent, while the other was passionate and fiery.
If Zheng Lin had a tail, he would be wagging it at Su Jin right now.
"You chat with your new sister-in-law slowly, I'm going out to buy some snacks." Su Jin knew Zheng Qi would also want to go, so before he could speak, her expression turned cold, and she said, "You're not allowed to follow me."
As soon as Su Jin left, Zheng Qi's invisible tail stopped wagging, and even his head drooped.
Zheng Qi thought to himself: My cousin won't take me with him, and neither will my sister-in-law. I'm even facing a bad woman. Sigh.
Although the title "new sister-in-law" came from Su Jin's mouth, He Ru thought it was very nice.
He Ru smiled and continued to say to Zheng Qi, "Let me help you. I can help you write your thesis. I have a friend who's really good at writing theses."
Zheng Qi's small eyes widened involuntarily.
However, his eyesight is very limited; even when he opens them wide, they still look very small.
He said in surprise, "I never expected Miss He to do something like this. I never cheat."
After thinking it over, his golden heart wouldn't allow him to see such behavior. "I advise you, and your girlfriend, to stop lying. You should be more honest and stop using those petty tricks."
