"Om-"

"Om-"

Qin Wushuang's phone suddenly vibrated in his coat pocket. He frowned, opened his eyes, and took the phone out of his pocket.

--dad.

The phone screen displayed only this one word, and Qin Wushuang felt inexplicably short of breath as she looked at it.

"Om-"

"Om-"

The phone kept vibrating incessantly, but Qin Wushuang just stared blankly at her phone, seemingly having no intention of answering it.

His assistant kindly reminded him, "Mr. Qin, it's Uncle Qin calling."

"..." Qin Wushuang ignored him. He stared at his phone for a while, then suddenly handed it to his assistant.

"Can you answer this for me?"

"...Huh?" The assistant was stunned. "I...I'll answer it for you?"

"Yes." Qin Wushuang was serious.

The assistant shrank back in fear, waving his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, how can I answer Uncle Qin's call for you? That's against the rules!"

Qin Wushuang glanced at him coldly: "I set the rules for the Qin Group. I told you to pick him up, so pick him up. Don't talk nonsense!"

Qin Wushuang's words were a bit harsh, and the assistant immediately dared not refuse.

He carefully reached out and took the still-vibrating phone.

Qin Wushuang: "If my dad asks me where I've been, just say I'm being questioned by the police."

The assistant nodded: "...Okay."

He answered the phone with trepidation, holding it to his ear.

"Hey?"

"Wushuang, where are you?!"

Qin Feihong's voice was clearly filled with panic.

The assistant sized up Qin Wushuang's face and stammered, "Uncle Qin, I'm Xiao Meng."

"Xiao Meng?" Qin Feihong was slightly taken aback. "Why did you answer the phone? Where is your brother Wushuang?"

Qin Wushuang winked at Xiaomeng, who immediately lied: "Brother Wushuang is talking to the police, so we can't use our phones right now."

"The police?" Qin Feihong's voice changed instantly. "You, Wushuang, have been contacted by the police?"

Qin Wushuang nodded, and Xiao Meng said, "Yes, the police arrived several hours ago and took Brother Wushuang to the study. They haven't come out yet."

"What do they want from you, Brother Wushuang? Did you hear them?" Qin Feihong asked anxiously.

Qin Wushuang opened her mouth and mouthed the words "Xie Zhaoyuan".

Xiao Meng: "It seems they came because of Xie Zhaoyuan's matter."

"What..." Qin Feihong's voice suddenly became somewhat weak, "Their actions were so fast, they just came looking for me and then they went to Wushuang's place... It's over, it's really over now..."

"What's over?" Xiao Meng asked curiously.

"Sigh..." Qin Feihong sighed heavily and didn't say anything more.

"...Uncle Qin?" Xiao Meng called out to him in confusion, but received no reply.

Qin Wushuang reached for the phone and hung up the call immediately.

"Uncle Qin, what's wrong with him?" Xiao Meng asked Qin Wushuang with concern.

Qin Wushuang didn't hide anything from him: "If I'm not mistaken, your Uncle Qin should have been questioned by the police."

"Huh?" Xiao Meng exclaimed in surprise, "How...how could this be? Have the police found out something?"

Qin Wushuang: "If nothing unexpected happens, yes."

"Oh my god..." Xiao Meng was terrified. He stared at Qin Wushuang with innocent eyes, and relying on his blood relation with Qin Wushuang, he mustered up his courage and asked, "Brother Wushuang, have we been identified by the police?"

Qin Wushuang calmly hummed in agreement: "With the special task force and the criminal investigation branch, it was only a matter of time before we were targeted. You don't need to be surprised."

Xiao Meng: "Did Uncle Qin call you just to remind you of this?"

Qin Wushuang leaned back, slumping weakly into her seat: "He not only wanted to remind me of this, but also wanted me to run away quickly. Once the task force locks onto me, I won't be far from being caught. If I don't run now, handcuffs and jail await me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Meng's face turned pale instantly: "...Brother Wushuang, since you know everything, why did you deliberately not answer Uncle Qin's calls?"

Qin Wushuang: "Because I never even considered running away."

Xiao Meng: "Huh?"

Qin Wushuang closed his eyes and smiled mockingly: "I knew from the beginning that I couldn't take her away. Today's outcome was exactly what I expected, so I'm not surprised at all, and I don't intend to struggle in vain."

"Let things take their course. When the time comes, I will naturally let her go. I am already content to have spent these ten days or so with her."

"Brother Wushuang, why are you doing this?" Xiao Meng felt sorry for him but also couldn't understand. "Since you knew all along that you couldn't take Xie Zhaoyuan away, why did you still plan all this? Aren't you just sending yourself to prison?"

Qin Wushuang shook her head, disagreeing with his statement: "I owe her too much, and I owe too much to other people. Whether I go to prison or die, it is what I should bear."

"I must atone for my sins."

Xiao Meng was unaware of the inside story of her background, so naturally she wouldn't understand Qin Wushuang's words.

He looked at Qin Wushuang with a complicated expression, unsure of what to say.

At 8 p.m., Qin Wushuang's car stopped at the entrance of Yixin Private Hospital in Jingcheng City.

"Wow—"

The car door opened, and he stepped out of the car holding a black umbrella, walking hurriedly into the hospital.

The vice president was already waiting for him in the lobby. When he saw him come in, he quickly went to greet him and led him to the elevator.

"Those people haven't arrived yet, have they?" he asked in a low voice.

The vice dean replied in a low voice, "Not yet."

"Mm." Qin Wushuang lowered her head and followed the vice dean into the VIP elevator.

"Ding--"

The elevator doors closed, and the car slowly ascended.

Qin Wushuang: "Is everything ready?"

The vice president turned to look at him: "We're all ready. While you were away, a stand-in was on your behalf the whole time. We've prepared your treatment files, medical records, medication records, including surveillance footage and witness testimonies. The police will find absolutely no flaws."

"Okay." Qin Wushuang rubbed his aching temples. "As long as these things are fine, I'll have a few more days."

Vice President: "President Qin, rest assured, I will do my best to delay it for you."

"Thank you." Qin Wushuang smiled and patted the vice dean's shoulder.

"Ding--"

The elevator stopped on the ninth floor. Qin Wushuang quickly walked out, went to the vice president's office to change into his hospital gown, and then left the office just in time to return to his private ward.

At 9:30 p.m., Li Fei, along with experts from the special task force and police officers from the criminal investigation branch, successfully arrived at the hospital.
