After Qi Yihan arrived at Province Q, he went straight to the hospital.
The three young men were still lying in the hospital. In the middle of the night, First Madam was pushed in on a stretcher. At that moment, First Master, Second Master, and Second Madam were all waiting at the hospital.
The three of them all looked sad. Second Madam was so worried that she was almost on the verge of breaking down. âWhat exactly is going on? Where are the bodyguards? Did they not notice that someone entered your room?â
First Masterâs face was ashen. âThe bodyguards canât catch him because he jumped out of the window and escaped.â
When the bodyguard entered the room, the man was already gone. They searched for him on the balcony and downstairs, but they could not find him.
âAre they from an assassin organization?â Second Master pondered for a moment before saying, âAll of our bodyguards have undergone formal training. Itâs impossible for them to not be able to catch one person.â
First Master said with a serious expression, âI donât know. We can only wait for Fourth Brother to come over and investigate.â
Just as First Master finished speaking, he heard footsteps approaching from outside the door.
The hospitals here were incomparable to Imperial Capital Hospital. Every ward had only one room. Second Masterâs two sons lived in one ward, Qi Lingxuan in another, and First Madam in another. The three patientsâ rooms were all next to each other. At this moment, the three of them were sitting in Qi Lingxuanâs ward.
The three of them were guessing who the murderer was. Qi Lingxuan just laid there without saying anything.
Hearing footsteps, the four of them looked towards the door.
Soon, a few bodyguards walked over.
First Master, Second Master, and Second Madam immediately stood up.
When Qi Yihan walked in, First Masterâs eyes were red as he quickly said, âFourth brother, you must send someone to investigate who entered our place last night and hurt your sister-in-law.â
Second Master added, âAlso, a few corpses were found on the top floor of the hospital this morning. I went to take a look. They are people from an assassin organization. You have to find out why the assassins came here and why they were all killed. Who killed them?â
Qi Yihan nodded and looked coldly at Qi Lingxuan, who was lying there with a pale face.
For some reason, Qi Lingxuan felt like he had been seen through. However, he did not panic. No one would know that it was him because he looked very weak and fragile. Seeing Qi Yihan, he immediately greeted, âFourth Uncle.â
Qi Yihan nodded at him and said to the other three, âIâve already sent someone to investigate what happened last night.â
Then, he continued, âI brought a doctor over. Pack up and return to Imperial Capital later.â
The three of them agreed. After all, the medical conditions here were not as good as in the Imperial Capital. It was definitely better to go back now.
Qi Lingxuan, who was lying there, would definitely not follow along at this time. He had yet to achieve his goal, so he quickly said, âFourth Uncle, we havenât had the time to go to the mine to buy raw stones.â
Qi Yihan glanced at him coldly. âSince Iâm here, Iâll go buy the raw stones.â
When Second Master and Second Madam heard this, they were a little indignant and helpless. Originally, they thought that if their two sons could come over and buy good raw stones, their family would have a say in the family. They didnât expect it to turn out like this.
First Master was even more furious. If Qi Yihan bought some good raw stones this time, his place in the family would be unchallengeable.
Irritated, First Master couldnât help but glare at Qi Lingxuan, feeling that he was just an embarrassment.
Qi Lingxuan could feel First Masterâs anger. He lowered his eyes and looked at Qi Yihan and begged him while concealing his true intent, âFourth Uncle, can I stay and go with you to the mine?â
âWhy are you staying!â Before Qi Yihan could say anything, First Master rebuked him unhappily. âYouâre already like this. If you stay, youâll only cause trouble to your Fourth Uncle.â
Qi Lingxuan looked up at Qi Yihan as if he did not hear First Master. âI know a lot about raw stones. I can help Fourth Uncle with stone gambling.â
When First Master heard this, he recalled the last time he came here to gamble stones. If Qi Lingxuan lost again, Qi Yihan would tear down First Masterâs house. He was so angry that he shouted, âShut up! What makes you think you can help your Fourth Uncle?â
âAlright.â
âWhat?â First Master glared at Qi Yihan, instinctively feeling that he was up to no good. Gritting his teeth, he said, âFourth brother, what is the meaning of this? You want Ling Xuan to stay to help you because when the time comes, the losses will be on our family, right?â
Qi Yi gave him a cold stare that made First Masterâs heart skip a beat.
Qi Yihan said, âSince Iâm here, Iâll be responsible for everything.â
These words instantly put First Master at ease. He thought that since it was like that, it was not a bad idea to let this son stay here. If he really won the bet, it would be their familyâs credit.
âIn that case, if Ling Xuan is willing to stay here, so be it.â
Then, he said to Qi Lingxuan, âListen to your Fourth Uncle here. Donât get me into trouble.â
Qi Lingxuan lowered his head and replied, âGot it, Father.â
The few of them quickly took a plane and left, leaving Qi Yihan and Qi Lingxuan behind.
Qi Yihan said to Qi Lingxuan, âHave a good rest. Weâll go to the mine tomorrow.â
With that, he left.
Qi Lingxuan looked at the closed door and smiled.

Butler Zhang told Tang Li about First and Second Masters returning to Imperial Capital during dinner.
Butler Zhang said, âButler Wang told me about this. He said that whether you want to go visit them is up to you.â
Tang Li would definitely visit them. First and Second Masters were in such a miserable state now, so they must be even more bent on causing trouble for Qi Yihan and her. She wouldnât give them this chance.
âPrepare a gift for me to visit the patient. Iâll go over tomorrow morning.â
âYes, Madam.â
The news of Tang Li returning to the Qi Mansion reached Qi Yihanâs ears immediately.
When Tang Li returned from the laboratory that night, Butler Zhang, who was standing there, said to her, âMadam, Master asked you to give him a call when you get back. Heâs waiting for you.â
Tang Li suddenly remembered that Qi Yihan stole a kiss on her lips this morning. Feeling angry again, She stormed upstairs, ready to ask him about it.
Butler Zhang looked at Tang Liâs back and sighed, thinking to himself, âLooks like Madam really canât live without Master. Master has only been gone for half a day, but when Madam heard that Master is waiting for her call, she almost flies to call him.â
After Tang Li walked into the bedroom, she took out her phone and called.
The call went through very quickly, and a manâs magnetic voice immediately came from the other end. âHello.â
Tang Li felt that her ears were itchy. She dug her ears with her fingers and questioned, âWhy did you kiss me this morning?â
He probably did not expect her first question to be this. After a few seconds of silence, his voice deepened. âIâve said it before. You kissed me on the lips, so I made it even by returning a kiss on your lips. Is that unreasonable?â
Tang Li was speechless.
