The child in front of me kept muttering "Mommy is crying" and didn't say anything else.
Jiang Si squatted down and asked softly, "Where do you live?"
What's in front of me is a living soul, most likely frightened, causing it to leave its body.
But there was nothing to be afraid of on this road that was in the middle of nowhere. Jiang Si looked around but couldn't find anything wrong.
Judging from her clothes, she's a pampered little princess. People who live in this area are all either rich or noble. There's no reason why no one would come looking for her if she lost her soul.
This is such a simple task; anyone with a bit of skill can do it.
Qin Zhi looked at this child, then at that child, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "This child seems to have a bit of autism."
Jiang Si wanted to sigh, but she couldn't just abandon the situation.
Suddenly, Jiang Si raised an eyebrow and said, "Mr. Qin can also see living souls?"
Qin Zhi remained calm. "I've had the ability to see ghosts since I was a child."
Jiang Si: "..."
Excuses come so easily to him.
Jiang Si didn't want to waste any more time here, so she quickly made calculations with her ten fingers flying across her right hand.
The more he calculated, the more his brows furrowed.
Qin Zhi asked, "Did Master Jiang Si divine anything?"
Jiang Si: "Do you have any connection with the Xie family around here? She is a child of the Xie family."
Qin Zhi looked down and examined him carefully. "So it's Xie's child. He's grown quite a bit since I last saw him in two years."
“We do have some connections. Since she’s a child of the Xie family, we can just send her back. They will surely be grateful. Master Jiang Si, do you have any concerns?” Qin Zhi asked pointedly.
"What if it was intentional?" Jiang Si felt some sympathy for the child. "The Xie family deliberately abandoned her here." If a living soul is separated from its body for too long, it will eventually become a dead soul, capable of killing someone without drawing blood and leaving no trace.
Large families have no secrets.
Upon hearing Jiang Si mention this, Qin Zhi said, "I have heard some rumors. It is said that when Mrs. Xie married into the family, she was already pregnant, and the child may not be a member of the Xie family."
The fact that Qin Zhi brought this up meant that he had already determined that the child was not a member of the Xie family.
Jiang Si wasn't interested in other people's love, hate, or grudges, but she couldn't stand seeing people commit crimes right under her nose.
She said coldly, "Compared to this, the most urgent matter is that Mrs. Xie."
"She's not just crying, she might be dying."
Jiang Si could sense that the girl's mother's life was very fragile and she might not make it through the night.
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhi frowned slightly: "Do you know where Mrs. Xie is?"
"You rich people's basements," Jiang Si said irritably.
Xie Bi'an is the same. He forced himself on her back then, knowing that she was already pregnant, but he still insisted on marrying her. Now that he has obtained his beloved, he only started to feel resentful and regretful a few years later.
Qin Zhi disagreed with this statement, saying, "Although our Qin family also has a basement, it's just a wine cellar, not a place to hide people."
“What a coincidence,” Jiang Si sneered, “The Xie family also has a wine cellar. If the temperature is controlled at a certain number of degrees, people will freeze to death.”
Qin Zhi shut up.
"Shall we go and rescue Mrs. Xie now?"
Jiang Si asked incredulously, "Do you rich people just barge into other people's homes?"
Qin Zhi: "..."
"That's not entirely true."
"But human lives are at stake, we can't wait a moment longer."
Jiang Si looked at Qin Zhi, and Qin Zhi felt like he was being watched.
This feels so new; I haven't tried this in so many years.
“I have a solution,” Jiang Si said, “but it may require the sacrifice of Mr. Qin.”
Jiang Si's method was extremely crude.
She gave Qin Zhi a battle-damaged makeover and then dragged him toward the Xie family.
Qin Zhi took a deep breath. If he had known this would happen, he would have preferred to have rescued the person directly.
When has President Qin, a man of such stature, ever been so pathetic?
The Xie family's doorbell was rang urgently.
The servants inside were startled when they saw it was Qin Zhi and immediately consulted Xie Bi'an.
Xie Bi'an frowned slightly. What was Qin Zhi doing here?
However, he didn't dare not open the door.
The Xie family still needs to cooperate with the Qin family on some business matters.
Xie Bi'an personally greeted him at the door. "I don't know," Xie Bi'an said, turning around when he saw Qin Zhi's slightly bruised forehead. "Mr. Qin, what happened to you?"
Jiang Si popped out from behind, "Stop talking, President Qin just encountered a thief. It looks like he broke into your Xie family's place. We must find him. I recognize him as an extremely dangerous criminal."
Many people in high society recognize Jiang Si's face, including Xie Bi'an.
"Master Jiang?" Xie Bi'an asked in confusion.
"Stop delaying, let us in quickly, I must find him." Jiang Si said anxiously. Xie Bi'an glanced at Qin Zhi's gloomy face, unsure whether there really was some serious criminal who had entered their house.
But to be able to injure Qin Zhi like this, he must be a very powerful thief, right?
Although Xie Bi'an found it very strange, he couldn't refuse to let them in out of respect for the two of them.
Jiang Si and Qin Zhi swaggered into the house.
The Xie family's security personnel were also on high alert.
If the thieves really get into the house, they'll be left with nothing but food.
After Jiang Si went inside, she pretended to do some calculations with her fingers flying around. Anyway, her persona is that of a charlatan, so this wasn't surprising.
They soon arrived at the entrance to the cellar.
Xie Bi'an's face darkened, but he forced a smile and said, "Master Jiang, this is our family's wine cellar. I'm the only one who has the key, so I can assure you that it's definitely not hidden inside."
Jiang Si frowned: "Tsk tsk tsk, you underestimate today's thieves. They can even open bank vaults, what's so difficult about your little door?"
"This is bad, I can sense the murderous aura inside." Jiang Si frowned even more deeply.
Qin Zhi's lips twitched.
Is it really because Jiang Si has worked in the entertainment industry? Her acting skills are simply superb. He would be dissatisfied if the Oscars didn't include her.
Xie Bi'an's face darkened further, and he remained frozen in place, refusing to open the door.
The servants who followed also had strange expressions.
Time was of the essence, and Jiang Si no longer cared whether he was willing or not. She gripped the doorknob, exerted force, and the doorknob snapped under the strain. The door creaked open.
A chill swept over us from inside.
Xie Bi'an tried to stop him, but it was too late. Qin Zhi looked anxious and said, "Let's go down and take a look too. I'm worried about Master Jiang, a weak woman, going down alone."
Xie Bi'an almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Can you call Jiang Si a weak woman for opening the door with that kind of strength?
However, he has hidden him very well, and Jiang Si may not be able to find him.
Xie Bi'an and Qin Zhi followed them down.
The cellar was huge, almost hollowing out the entire bottom of the villa.
When they went downstairs, Jiang Si had already carried Chen Rong out, and she put her coat on Chen Rong.
Chen Rong has fallen into a coma due to prolonged exposure to low temperatures.
The air suddenly became still.
