Seeing that Zhou Yichen hesitated to speak, Si Jinyan knew that he was afraid of the power behind him, so he had no choice but to hand him a talisman.
"I'll spare your life since you helped me this time."
Her eyes were bright, giving Zhou Yichen's heart, which was lurking in the darkness, a sliver of courage.
He knew perfectly well who was behind it all, but he didn't have the guts to arrest them.
"Thank you, Ms. Si. I'm sorry to have disappointed you."
Zhou Yichen squeezed the talisman in his hand and said in a low voice.
“We’re just friends, there’s nothing I need to be responsible for. The ones who are disappointed in you are the dead; you should have been their hero.”
Even heroes today fear those in power...
Zhou Yichen did not answer; he was indeed a coward.
The two returned to the car without saying a word.
Let's go!
Zhou Yichen gestured for Zhou Jiayou to drive away.
Even though he was driving, he could sense that the atmosphere inside the car was strange.
There was a strange sense of oppression.
He disliked the atmosphere and wanted to break the ice.
"Little Master, what's happening outside?"
Zhou Jiayou saw Si Jinyan's face in the rearview mirror, a face devoid of any smile, completely unlike the usual Little Master.
"Take good care of the amulet I gave you."
Si Jinyan did not answer his question directly.
The time she used Zhou Jiayou as bait, she gave him ten talismans as payment.
The young master is really strange, and his older brother is strange too.
Could it be that some major event is about to happen?
Zhou Jiayou was immediately startled. Could it be?
Fortunately, he always carried his amulets with him. Seeing the little master's serious expression, he had a very bad feeling.
Si Jinyan quickly returned to the Polar Hotel, where Xiao Luoan was still waiting for her in her room.
"You're finally back."
When Xiao Luoan saw her appear in the room, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed.
The bright lights shone on the two of them, making them look exceptionally beautiful.
"I'm back. Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Si Jinyan changed his shoes and sat down next to Xiao Luoan. In front of them was the urn containing ashes.
"I'm so worried I can't sleep, especially knowing that tonight is the Ghost Festival."
Xiao Luoan gently embraced her, resting his chin on her head, quietly enjoying the moment.
"I'm sorry to have worried you. That piece of land in the west of the city belongs to the Xiao family, right?"
Si Jinyan asked.
"It's mine, so what?"
Xiao Luoan lowered her head, looked into her eyes, and asked.
He knew that Si Jinyan didn't usually care much about these things, so her asking meant that something was about to happen.
"Don't start construction on that land for now."
Si Jinyan pursed her red lips and replied.
“Something very serious is about to happen. If construction is forced, it could lead to the deaths of many people.”
“Okay, but this project is a collaboration between the government and the Xiao family. If I don’t start construction, it might cause dissatisfaction among those people. I have no choice but to abandon this project.”
Because it's Si Jinyan, he doesn't care how much money he loses.
He believes her!
"Yeah, don't get involved in this mess. Once everything settles down, this project will still be yours."
Si Jinyan blinked his bright eyes and said with a big smile.
"I'll do whatever you say."
After spending some time together, Xiao Luoan returned to her room.
Si Jinyan then set up a soul-nourishing array for Xu Wei inside the urn.
"Mom, stay inside for the next few days and don't come out. Wait until your mind is stable before you come out. Then I'll take you to see the changes in the capital over the past twenty years."
She longs to take a walk with her mother, go shopping, and have her mother's company like other children.
Xu Wei's soul is now shrunken into a ball of light. She cannot speak for the time being, but the light is slowly growing bigger and brighter.
This means she is responding to Si Jinyan's words.
"Goodnight, Mom."
Xu Wei's light flickered on and off; she had just overheard Si Jinyan's words.
The following morning, Si Jinyan went to the hospital.
At the entrance of the outpatient department, Si Jiangyu was seen being pushed and shoved by the deceased's family members.
Didn't she tell those ghosts last night to appear in her family's dreams?
"Give me back my mother's life!"
She saw the woman grabbing Si Jiangyu's clothes and shoving him repeatedly, and even slapping him.
"Dr. Si!"
At this moment, a woman rushed in front of Si Jiangyu from the crowd and blocked the woman from shoving him.
Chu Wanli's petite figure blocked the woman's path.
“I understand how you feel, because my mother was also murdered. But the matter is still under investigation, so please wait patiently for the results. If it turns out that Dr. Si is indeed at fault, we are willing to bear all the consequences.”
She didn't know where she got the courage, but she did it anyway.
She didn't want to see Si Jiangyu like this.
He should be a spirited surgeon, his hands holding a scalpel.
"Miss Chu?"
Si Jiangyu felt the power emanating from Chu Wanli's body, her back pressed tightly against his chest.
At this time, I never expected that Chu Wanli would still believe him.
"Please give the investigation team some more time. Everyone at the Imperial Hospital has witnessed Dr. Si's character and medical skills. I believe in him!"
Chu Wanli naturally knew that the deceased's family was very angry and upset, but if Si Jiangyu was wronged, then who would be responsible for clearing his name?
Who will bear the pain he has endured these past two days?
"Thank you for believing me, Miss Chu."
Si Jiangyu took her hand and pulled her behind him.
"I'm already very satisfied as long as you believe in me."
But how could he stand behind a woman at this moment?
