Chapter 1549: Chapter 1542: The Culprit Behind the Scenes (8)
He didn’t shy away from admitting that he’d given Qin Zhizha advice, but such remarks were hardly incriminating evidence—at best, it warranted a verbal apology.
What he didn’t expect was that Qin Zhiyou had actually rescued Lu Weixi and genuinely turned the tide, avoiding being struck down by the cascade of damning news from the start. He’d laid trap upon trap for Qin Zhiyou, yet Qin Zhiyou had withstood them all.
With Hanhai’s public opinion visibly recovering, although news of Lu Weixi’s kidnapping might still slightly affect the stock market’s volatility, it wouldn’t cause significant harm. He refused to give up—he must strike another fiercely devastating blow against Qin Zhiyou!
Still, he understood the importance of lying low. Especially in monts like these, one must remain composed. Every move must be ticulous, cautious—under no circumstances could he leave behind any evidence.
A subordinate reported updates on Qin Zhizha and Cai Yiren, specifically ntioning how Cai Yiren wanted to secure bail but lacked anyone willing to help. The Qin Family’s third branch was frantically seeking bail for Qin Zhizha, but Cai Yiren held no status within the Qin Family, so naturally, no one would care to intervene for her. anwhile, the Bai Family—Bai Changyou, seething over being cuckolded and hearing that Cai Yiren might have hard Lu Weixi—was even less likely to help her out. Cai Yiren’s mother was overwheld dealing with her own issues; even if she wanted to rescue her daughter, she no longer had the ans to do so.
Zhao Zihao closed his eyes, disinterested.
The car drove onward.

County People’s Hospital.
Since the arrival of bodyguards and additional aides, Qin Zhiyou finally had so ti to both focus on Lu Weixi and work simultaneously.
Lu Weixi, having just given birth, had gone three days without eating, drinking, or properly sleeping. Soon after having a bite to eat, she drifted off into a heavy slumber. Qin Zhiyou was equally exhausted, but this wasn’t a ti for him to rest. The U.S. stock market had just opened, and as expected, news of Lu Weixi’s kidnapping had leaked, allowing the short-sellers to gain the upper hand again—stocks continued to fall.
Thankfully, the decline wasn’t that severe this ti—it dropped by just over a percentage point before beginning to stabilize. Qin Zhiyou held a conference call, but since he couldn’t speak aloud, he used his laptop to type commands with swift, quiet keystrokes in a corner, careful not to disturb Lu Weixi.
No one knew how much ti had passed when Lu Weixi suddenly awoke from her dreams. She looked up to see Qin Zhiyou sitting nearby, his eyes glued to the screen in intense concentration. She struggled to move, but the pain from her abdominal wound made her quickly lie back down.
Her small movent caused the bed to creak, successfully catching Qin Zhiyou’s attention. Removing his headset, he turned and saw her tearful gaze fixed on him. Stunned for a mont, he rushed over: “What’s wrong?”
“I… I want to see the baby.”
She had held back all day, not yet seeing her child even once. The photo Qin Zhiyou had taken earlier wasn’t clear; the baby’s face couldn’t be seen, and he had deleted it. “I’m not saying you have to bring him over here—I’d settle for just a video. Even a one-minute-long video is fine.”
This request was manageable. Qin Zhiyou nodded and agreed instantly. After working tirelessly for so many hours, he also needed a break. Standing up, he grabbed his phone: “Wait here.”
Qin Zhiyou coordinated with the doctors. Though he wasn’t allowed inside the neonatal ward, he could request the doctor to record a video of the baby for him to view from outside on a screen. As Qin Zhiyou fild, sothing unexpected happened—the baby seed to convulse, struggling to catch its breath… it looked as though it couldn’t breathe…
