Lin Yunfei immediately snapped out of her daze, her innocent eyes welling up with tears: "I really didn't mean to, why don't you believe me? Luckily Zhenzhen is perfectly fine..."
While emphasizing that Jian Zhizhen was fine, she stretched out her bright red hand to emphasize that she had been burned.
She wanted Lin Yi to know that if she intended to harm Jian Zhizhen, why would she hurt herself while Jian Zhizhen was unharmed?
When Lin Yi saw the red marks on her hands from the boiling water, he became worried: "It must be a misunderstanding. I'm glad Zhenzhen is alright. Feifei, you should go to your room and apply burn ointment too."
Qin Yubai looked at Lin Yi with a deep gaze: "Zhenzhen is alright because she has the ability to protect herself, which doesn't mean that you, her good sister, are innocent."
Lin Yi frowned slightly, intending to retort that Lin Yunfei wasn't that kind of person.
But he suddenly noticed that Jian Zhizhen's gaze was filled with a complex mix of anticipation and nervousness, which made him feel inexplicably choked up.
A voice in his subconscious seemed to be telling him that no matter what happened, he should protect Jian Zhizhen.
But Feifei is his sister. Feifei has always been well-behaved and kind since she was a child. How could she possibly do something like throwing boiling water at someone?
Lin Yi's throat moved slightly.
He remained silent for several breaths, but ultimately said nothing.
Qin Yubai no longer wanted Jian Zhizhen to stay here.
You might be able to stop Lin Yunfei once, but you might not be able to stop her twice.
Don't let them put chemicals in your food later; you won't even know how you died.
He grabbed Jian Zhizhen's hand and said in a low voice, "It seems you're not suited to be a guest today. Come back with me."
Jian Zhizhen looked away from Lin Yi, nodded silently, and left with Qin Yubai.
Lin Yi's gaze remained fixed on Jian Zhizhen.
Lin Yunfei could see his worry and reluctance, and her lungs ached with anger.
No, if I don't do something soon, my plan, which I've been working on for over a decade, might really be ruined!
She quickly grabbed Lin Yi's arm, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "Brother, I really didn't mean it. I have no grudge against Jian Zhizhen. This is the first time we've met in our lives. Why would I want to hurt her? Please believe me."
Lin Yi came to her senses.
Upon closer reflection, it is indeed true.
During the recording of the show, he could tell that Zhai Qinghe was deliberately targeting Jian Zhizhen because Zhai Qinghe was inferior to Jian Zhizhen in every way and was jealous of her.
But her younger sister had no reason to be jealous; the two of them were not even in the same league in terms of popularity in the entertainment industry.
He couldn't help but feel guilty for his earlier assumption about Lin Yunfei. He reached out and patted Lin Yunfei's head, comforting her, "It's okay, it's okay, don't blame yourself. Qin Yubai was just too worried about Jian Zhizhen, that's why he misunderstood you. I'll go explain to them. You should go apply your medicine too!"
Seeing that he was still caring for her so gently, Lin Yunfei felt relieved, nodded, and went back to her room to find the medicine.
Lin Yi chased after Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai as they went out.
When they reached the elevator, he caught up with the two of them and hurriedly apologized to Jian Zhizhen: "Jian Zhizhen, I'm sorry, my sister really didn't mean it."
Jian Zhizhen looked at him silently, also struggling with whether she should pretend to be magnanimous and forgive him first, so as not to put him in a difficult position.
Because she knew that Lin Yi and Lin Yunfei had such a long-standing relationship, it was impossible for them to immediately switch sides and stand on her side because of one incident.
But Qin Yubai gave him no chance at all, his gaze cold as he told Lin Yi, "You'd better keep an eye on your sister. Zhenzhen was deliberately lured to the chemistry lab last night. If she hadn't memorized the password to the metal cabinet in the lab, she would have died of poisoning along with those two children."
Lin Yi nodded, his gaze filled with a hint of confusion: "I know about this, but what does it have to do with Fei Fei?"
Qin Yubai explained expressionlessly, "Last night I traced the IP address that sent the virus message to Zhenzhen, hacked into that hacker's network, and found that he was just a middleman. The account used for the payments was opened in K country. It's a very small country, and immigrants from China generally don't go there. But Lin Yunfei has been filming in K country, so it's not surprising that she has an account there."
Lin Yi thought about it for a moment, but still couldn't believe that his sister would do such a thing.
He retorted, "Just because of a bank address whose identity can't be traced, you can suspect Feifei? What reason would Feifei have to harm someone?"
Qin Yubai chuckled softly: "Yes, I didn't suspect it was her at first, but considering what happened today when she splashed boiling water on Zhenzhen, it's quite intriguing."
As soon as Qin Yubai finished speaking, the elevator doors behind him opened.
He pulled Jian Zhizhen inside, leaving Lin Yi with the words, "You can try to find a way to get Lin Yunfei to help you."
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Jian Zhizhen suddenly reached out to stop them, took out the gift he had prepared for Lin Yi from his pocket, and handed it to her.
"This is a gift I made for you last night. I hope you will accept it."
Lin Yi reached out and took it, looking at Jian Zhizhen with a complicated expression.
Jian Zhizhen also looked at him.
Until the elevator doors slowly closed, blocking their gazes from each other.
Jian Zhizhen had no choice but to look away and lower her head in disappointment.
Qin Yubai could understand her feelings.
After a moment of silence, he reached out and ruffled her hair: "Don't be sad. You'll be recording a show together later. Even without Lin Yunfei, you'll have plenty of opportunities to spend time with him."
Jian Zhizhen didn't say a word, took a step forward, and gently rested her head on Qin Yubai's shoulder.
Even if Lin Yi treats her with an extremely tough attitude today, she shouldn't have any temper.
After all, she didn't know what had happened to Jian Chun over the years.
