Xiao Yi spent a day investigating the Qin family and suspended their recruitment qualifications. All those already recruited were required to receive three months' compensation from the Qin family before being sent to a refuge. For those who went missing, regardless of whether they were alive or dead, they were to receive three times the compensation according to the established standards.
Li Ke and the driver were still nowhere to be found. The team members who returned only found traces of people in an abandoned villa area behind the mountain, but the clues had been destroyed, and the snowstorm continued, which meant that all clues had been cut off again.
The Qin family is very tight-lipped, and Xiao Yi could tell that many people were indeed unaware of the situation. All suspicious individuals found, regardless of whether there was evidence, were taken back to the reform camp for temporary detention and investigation.
The snowstorm was getting worse, and there were a lot of things to deal with at the shelter. The bad weather meant that many jobs had to be suspended, and when people had too much free time, trouble was bound to happen.
Xiao Yi had no time to waste at the Qin family's place. He arranged for the nearby security and law enforcement teams to keep a close watch on the Qin family and ordered that no one in the Qin family should leave the house until the matter was reported.
Zhuang Weifeng had been hiding in the basement before Xiao Yi left, including the several women he brought into the shelter, two of whom were pregnant.
After Xiao Yi left, he stepped out of the basement and bumped into Qin Lisen's cold face: "What exactly are you doing? You requested to enter this shelter, and you're the ones causing trouble ever since. No matter how capable our Qin family is, we can't keep being your shield. Besides, the shelter isn't giving us any face. Once this snowstorm passes, who knows what they'll do to investigate us?"
Zhuang Weifeng's eyes darkened for a moment, then he laughed again: "Grandpa Qin, this was an accident. My uncle has already taken people to deal with the trouble, and I believe this matter will be over soon. If you're worried that we'll keep pushing your Qin family aside, why don't you agree to my marriage with Yueyue now? Once we're family, we'll definitely be more united."
Qin Lisen was disgusted by Zhuang Weifeng's shamelessness. He snorted and said, "You should deal with the current problem first before talking about anything else."
Seeing Qin Lisen about to leave, Zhuang Weifeng immediately blocked his way: "Grandpa Qin, I know Yueyue has a deep misunderstanding about me right now, but we're in the same boat now, we can't be separated. I want to go and check on Yueyue, would you like to come with me?"
Qin Lisen took a deep breath before saying in a low voice, "Go by yourself. Yueyue isn't feeling well, so don't disturb her rest too much."
Zhuang Weifeng watched Qin Lisen leave in anger, a twisted smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He was furious that the old man was now completely at their mercy, while Qin Mingyue, that sickly woman, was no match for them.
Zhuang Weifeng had been playing the mouse for almost two days and was feeling quite annoyed. He immediately set off to find Qin Mingyue. He knew that the girl hated him now, and he wanted to deliberately annoy her.
On the way, Zhuang Weifeng turned a corner and went to find one of his men, asking him if his uncle had sent back any news.
The subordinate replied, "It won't be that fast. We're being watched too closely right now, and the snowstorm has been too heavy these past two days, making it difficult to send messages."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Weifeng could only suppress his impatience and wait for the time being. After dismissing his subordinates, he headed straight for Qin Mingyue's nursing room.
