Thinking of this, Luo Jinxiu was suddenly alarmed. Qin Yiheng's move was far too ambitious; all of them could potentially be caught in the middle of the game.
And what about herself?
So Luo Jinxiu had no choice but to ask again, "What do you need such a large amount of power for?"
This time, Qin Yiheng spoke up, giving an answer that Luo Jinxiu hadn't really thought of.
He said, "Because I want to have my own things."
This sentence is very simple, and outsiders may not understand it, but Luo Jinxiu understands it in her heart.
She and Qin Yiheng are truly cooperating. If it were just one person's strength, such cooperation would obviously be unfair, and the weaker party would certainly feel uncertain.
The case of Qin Yiheng and the Chu family is a good example.
If Qin Yiheng had controlled more than just Yinghao Pavilion at that time, which made him seem uneasy and difficult to control, but rather some other companies or family forces, the Chu family would have been much more wary.
But at the same time, one must also think that since Qin Yiheng already has such resources, when he wants to swallow other forces, he should consider the risks and whether he will lose everything he has now.
This is why the major families are able to check and balance each other.
Therefore, Qin Yiheng learned his lesson and, when cooperating with him, made sure to clearly define his power structure beforehand, ensuring that both sides could control each other's strengths and weaknesses, maintaining a balance between tightness and looseness...
That's good. Luo Jinxiu felt that she appreciated Qin Yiheng even more now.
When Shen Ru saw them return, she hurriedly said to Qin Yiheng, "Qiwei really did call back. I've already told him what you said."
When she said this, Shen Ru made no attempt to hide her admiration in her voice.
Qin Yiheng's calculations were incredibly accurate; everything was within his plan.
Such a person is too trustworthy. If Shen Ru wasn't entirely sure she could survive before, but only wanted to try because Qin Yiheng gave her hope, then now she truly believes him.
No, it should be said that when Qiwei called back and everything was ready, she was already completely convinced.
"Hmm." Qin Yiheng was indeed not surprised at all. "Now we just need to wait."
With such a calm and composed person in charge, everyone was kept very calm.
After waiting for a while, Qin Yiheng seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Luo Jinxiu, "Do you still want to go and confront them? You can do it anytime in the next couple of days."
"Are you trying to get me out of here?" Luo Jinxiu asked jokingly, but she felt that Qin Yiheng was somewhat inclined to do so.
Unexpectedly, when Qin Yiheng spoke again, his words were much more straightforward and there was no hint of joking: "No, I really want you to do this."
Luo Jinxiu was choked by his words.
Asking someone to do something and then speaking so self-righteously.
Fortunately, she liked it and didn't mind.
Moreover, she understood what Qin Yiheng was talking about. If the mastermind behind this was the Chu family, then why were the guns and bullets from the Luo family? The butler was definitely involved in this matter.
Besides, as Luo Jinxiu herself said, no matter what, she is still the eldest daughter of the Luo family. The butler can do some things behind her back, but he can't have a direct and irreparable conflict with her.
More importantly, now that Han Mingrui is dead, Qin Yiheng and Jiang Yan are both unharmed, and A Jing hasn't even achieved her goal. The butler's plan has already fallen through.
In order to take further action later, the butler must protect himself now, so he cannot openly defy Luo Jinxiu, let alone want to protect anyone other than himself.
Moreover, Luo Jinxiu had already considered that if she went to the housekeeper, she would likely be met with a face that said, "I don't know anything either," or "I've been used," and so on.
"Alright... then!"
Luo Jinxiu's agreement wasn't entirely straightforward, because she remembered that her initial purpose in coming to Yuzhou was to deal with Qin Yiheng, not to help him expand his power.
However, Luo Jinxiu had to admit that Qin Yiheng was indeed a very charming and capable person who could get people to do things for him, or even do things for him willingly.
Moreover, she had a vague feeling that it wouldn't be a bad thing for Qin Yiheng to become stronger in this aspect.
There's no shortage of manpower at the villa right now. Even the people from Yinghao Pavilion have been sent back by Qin Yiheng to do other things, so Luo Jinxiu has also left.
This was the first time she had stepped into the Luo family's villa since she came to Chongqing.
The atmosphere in the villa was undeniably heavy. The bodies of Ah Jing and the others had been brought back, and the butler was currently examining them with a furrowed brow, without taking any further action.
When they saw Luo Jinxiu return, they should have announced it loudly, but instead, everyone was lifeless.
Fortunately, Luo Jinxiu doesn't dwell on these things now; after all, she has more important matters to address.
She sat down on the sofa without a word, and someone immediately came over to pour her some tea.
But now was not the time to be waited on. Luo Jinxiu waved her hand impatiently, dismissing them all and leaving only the steward.
"Young Miss," the butler called out.
His face didn't show much sadness, but rather a clear lack of understanding. He had always treated Luo Jinxiu with a proper and conventional attitude, leaving no room for criticism, but also preventing any feelings of closeness.
"Ha! It's kind of you to remember that I'm the eldest daughter of the Luo family. You didn't expect this when you did these things, did you?"
Luo Jinxiu reached out and pointed to the corpses of those people; her meaning was quite clear.
The butler looked in the direction she was pointing and frowned even more.
"Does Miss think that I had Ah Jing kidnap Jiang Yan to threaten Qin Yiheng?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Jinxiu already knew that the butler's explanation was that he also knew nothing about this plan.
Luo Jinxiu didn't directly expose him, but simply said truthfully, "I remember that A-Jing has always been closer to you. As someone who came to Yuzhou earlier, I never gave him any orders, but he still did a lot of things. Tell me, whose orders did he take?"
The implication was clear: Ah Jing had obeyed the steward's orders.
“That’s right, I did say that as soon as A-Jing arrived in Yuzhou, I sent him to contact Chu Wei. He even got a lot of information from Chu Wei and gave it to me…” The butler nodded. There was nothing wrong with admitting this to him.
Luo Jinxiu was impressed by his shamelessness and his self-righteousness.
