Lin Yi ignored Qin Han and opened the door.
However, he did not enter directly. Instead, he cursed outside.
âStop with the useless talk. Next time, find whoever else you want to. I wonât help you anymore. If it werenât for my good reputation, people might have thought I was fooling around. Itâs really a bad choice of friends. You almost tarnished my precious reputation.â
With that, Lin Yi huffed and dissapeared into the room.
Qin Han,â???â
âWhereâs my knife?!â
Upon returning to his room, Lin Yi realized that Ji Qingyan was not asleep. Instead, she was sitting on the bed and reading a book.
Her long hair draped over her shoulders and fell naturally. A pair of rimless glasses was propped on her slender nose bridge, making her look exceptionally delicate and beautiful.
âHuh? Itâs already so late, why arenât you asleep yet?â Lin Yi asked.
âDidnât you say that you would be back late? 1 just wanted to wait for you.â Ji Qingyan waved the book in her hand. âThis book is quite interesting. The more I read, the more energetic 1 become.â
With that, she got off the bed. âWhere did you go? Why are you only back now? Itâs already past two oâclock. Why are you making such a fuss? Youâre disturbing everyoneâs rest.â
âLetâs not talk about it. When I went out in the afternoon, I ran into Qin Hanâs ex-girlfriend. He got all emotional and insisted on dragging me to drink. Iâve been drinking until now. Iâm so annoyed.â
âIsnât that a bit too much? He was this distraught just because he ran into an ex-girlfriend?â
âHe told me that she was his true love and that he wouldnât marry anyone else back then. But who would have thought, his ex-girlfriend actually got married to someone else, a short and loser guy from this island country. His mentality just crumbled after that.â Lin Yi sighed.
âHe even cried and told me that fairy tales were all lies and that he would never love again.â
âWhy is Qin Han in such a miserable state? I remember that the last time he invited you to get drunk was also because of his ex-girlfriend,â Ji Qingyan said.
âIn theory, someone like him, a rich young master with decent looks, who even studied abroad, should have plenty of girls around him. He shouldnât be like this.â
âMaybe Iâm not smart enough. Sigh, why am I so pitiful? 1 have to be his emotional trash can every time.â
âThereâs nothing we can do about this.â
âAs brothers, donât we have to share blessings and hardships together? We canât just ask for rewards. We have to also help each other when necessary.â
âIndeed. Itâs no big deal for brothers to help each other and take the blame for each other.â
âIsnât that so?â Ji Qingyan yawned. âIâm a little sleepy. Go wash up. Itâs already past two.â
âSure thing.â
Ji Qingyan returned to her room, and Lin Yi went to the bathroom to wash up.
When she returned, she found that Ji Qingyan had fallen asleep.
Lin Yi didnât dare to make too much noise and carefully crawled into bed.
However, Lin Yi didnât sleep. His eyes were fixed on the ceiling.
Ten minutes later, Ji Qingyanâs breathing was steady, indicating that she was fast asleep, but Lin Yi didnât move. He was still lying there like a corpse.
It wasnât until half an hour later that Lin Yi was certain that Ji Qingyan had really fallen asleep.
Quietly, Lin Yi moved Ji Qingyanâs legs to the side and quietly got out of bed. He found her phone on the bedside table.
This was the most important step in Lin Yiâs plan.
He hid his phone in Elizaâs car.
Although it was not designed to be used as a tracker, the phone still had a basic tracking function.
When a phone was lost, it could be recovered through this feature.
Lin Yi used this function to determine the location of Eliza and the others!
Lin Yi took Ji Qingyanâs phone and started searching for the location of his phone.
In the end, he realized that the location of the phone was at a place called Honda Uto.
Lin Yi searched it on the map. The location was about 130 kilometers away from the Oman Hotel.
Unless something happened, Eliza and the others should be there.
âLin Yi.â
The sudden soft call startled Lin Yi.
Turning around abruptly, she found that Ji Qingyan had already woken up and was staring straight at him.
âUm⦠Werenât you asleep? Why are you awake?â
âI wanted to know why you were not sleeping in the middle of the night. What are you doing with my phone? Youâre not checking my messages, are you?â
Ji Qingyan was not angry at all. Even if he was, she still cared about her performance. It was rare for a couple to be together.
âHow can that be? Do you think I donât trust your character?â
Lin Yi smiled awkwardly.
âThen why arenât you sleeping in the middle of the night? Why are you looking at my phone? There must be something going on.â Ji Qingyan sat up cross-legged, one hand supporting her cheek as she looked at Lin Yi.
âDid you find any suspicious information?â
âDidnât 1 already say that I had no intention of checking your messages?â Lin Yi said seriously.
âWhen I went out with Qin Han during the day, I lost my phone. I was also mulling over what you said and thought it made sense. Brothers have to help each other. So 1 took your phone and wanted to call him. I was afraid he would take it too hard and do something stupid.â
âThen what are we waiting for? Hurry up and call and ask.â
âAlright.â Lin Yi stood up and said.
âItâs getting late. You should sleep first. Iâll go out and call him to express my condolences.â
âWhy go out to handle it when you can deal with it here? If you canât comfort him, just leave it to me. After all, Iâm also a girl, and 1 might be more effective than you.â
âUm⦠okayâ¦â
Lin Yi braced himself and dialed Qin Hanâs number.
âWhat did you say? You want to die?!
âAre you f*cking sick? You actually want to commit suicide for a woman?!
âI know youâre upset. Iâve never been through anything like this, but I understand.â
âAlright, alright, alright. Iâll drink with you. As brothers, we are stuck together for this life and the next. Iâll accompany you tonight. We wonât go home until weâre drunk!â
Qin Han,â???â
âF*ck your grandmother!â
Lin Yi hung up and said to Ji Qingyan,
âI didnât expect Qin Han to be so infatuated. He actually wanted to commit suicide after such a small matter. Fortunately, I called in time and persuaded him to stop. Otherwise, something really would have happened.â
âThen what are we waiting for? Letâs go and check on him!â
She got out of bed in a hurry, grabbed a coat, and put it on.
âWe have to persuade him about this. He canât be confused over such a small matter. He still has a bright future ahead of him, and the Qin familyâs assets are waiting for him to inherit.â Lin Yi sighed.
âSighâ¦â Ji Qingyan shook her head.
âPreviously, I thought that a rich kid like Qin Han would definitely be a playboy. I didnât expect him to be such a loyal person. This is really rare. 1 misunderstood him. Quickly go and visit him.â
Seeing Ji Qingyanâs serious expression, Lin Yi suppressed the smile in his heart and cursed inwardly.
âWhat kind of person is Qin Han? Everything I am saying is made up!â
