Xiao Li hung up the phone and furrowed her brows.
Why is this Xiao Yan so haunting?
In her past life, she was easily dealt with.
Why is she causing so much drama in this life?
Could it be that she is really tied to ?
If I wasn’t killed by her, does it an she can’t die either?
Xiao Li suddenly felt a headache. This person kept causing trouble, it’s really annoying!
Gathering her thoughts, Xiao Li walked back to the living room and said to Qin’s mother, "Mom, it’s getting late. I’ll take Little Li and them back first."
Qin’s mother nodded, "Go ahead!"
Xiao Li held Little Li, and Aunt Wu held Mianmian’s hand, and they slowly walked back ho.
Not far behind them, there were a few more people following to protect them.
After arriving ho, Xiao Li had just settled the children when her phone rang. This ti, it was Qin Xiao calling.
Upon hearing Qin Xiao’s voice, Xiao Li felt completely at ease.
"Uncle, are you injured?"
Qin Xiao chuckled, "No, I’m not injured."
Knowing Qin Xiao wasn’t injured, Xiao Li began to inquire about Qin Tan’s condition, "Uncle, how is brother? Is he seriously hurt?"
Qin Xiao paused for a mont and said, "Big brother was shot four tis, in the head, arm, thigh, and chest.
The other gunshot wounds are not too serious. It is still unknown how much damage the head injury has caused to his brain. The doctor is examining brother."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li asked, "Is big brother conscious?"
Qin Xiao sighed, "He is unconscious. He probably hasn’t been awake since the incident happened."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li felt a sense of dread, "Does sister-in-law know about this?"
"No, I haven’t told her yet. We just landed, and the doctor has only just started examining brother. Let’s wait for the test results first before explaining."
Xiao Li nodded, "Are you safe now?"
Qin Xiao reassured her, "Very safe, don’t worry. As soon as brother’s condition stabilizes, we will co back."
Xiao Li, "Alright, I understand."
Just as she was speaking, Xiao Li heard a doctor calling Qin Xiao from the other end, so she quickly said, "Uncle, you go and check on brother first! Knowing you are safe now puts at ease!"
Qin Xiao, "Alright, I’ll hang up then."
After hanging up, Xiao Li lightly sighed, hoping brother would be okay. Otherwise, what would sister-in-law do?
Xiao Li put the phone aside and was about to lie down to sleep when she rembered she forgot to tell uncle about Xiao Yan. Oh well, she’ll ntion it when he calls tomorrow.
At the highway exit of B City, a regular car exited the highway, and as it did, the rear window slowly rolled down, revealing Xiao Yan’s scarred face.
Xiao Yan looked at the highway exit reflected in the rearview mirror and smiled coldly, "Xiao Li, I’m here. Don’t be too scared!"
Over the next couple of days, Qin Xiao called Xiao Li every day, gradually easing her mind.
Xiao Li also told Qin Xiao about Xiao Yan. Upon hearing that Xiao Yan had escaped prison, Qin Xiao beca concerned for Xiao Li’s safety. He wanted to rush back imdiately, but with Qin Tan needing a cranial surgery, Qin Xiao couldn’t leave.
Helpless, he had to send more people to protect Xiao Li at ho and urged her not to leave the house, just waiting for the surgery to be over and Qin Tan’s condition to stabilize, so he could return.
On the other hand, He Jie already knew about Qin Tan’s injuries, but surprisingly, she remained calm and didn’t cry or insist on flying to H Country to care for Qin Tan.
She returned to her composed forr self, calmly taking the two little brothers back ho, saying they should prepare to welco Qin Tan ho.
Even when Wen Xin ca to visit her, she didn’t show any sign of vulnerability.
Previously, with no clear information about Qin Tan’s condition, the Qin Family kept the news under wraps. Even the in-laws were unaware.
Neither the Zhen Family nor the He Family knew about Qin Tan’s disappearance until ti passed, and Qin Tan didn’t show up, leaving Father Qin to manage the company for so long, sparking outside speculations.
As in-laws, the Zhen and He families directly called to inquire, which is how they learned about Qin Tan’s situation.
In Qin Mother’s villa, Wen Xin looked at her composed daughter empathetically; she knew her daughter well.
Outwardly, He Jie had always seed capable, but inside she was fragile, having grown up in a sheltered and well-protected environnt.
However, the current calm and self-control He Jie possessed ca from within, a sedintation experienced from going through hardships.
Just by looking at He Jie now, Wen Xin didn’t need to think hard to know how hard the past few days must have been for her.
Apologetically, Qin’s mother said to Wen Xin, "Ah Xin, we kept it from you all at first to prevent any leaks and ensuing chaos within the company."
Wen Xin gently patted Qin Mother’s hand, "I understand. In families like ours, we have to consider every aspect when sothing happens."
Madam Zhen, standing by, also said, "Indeed! In big families, even a small trouble can spiral into huge consequences.
It’s just, Ah Zhi, you did keep the matter well. For such an important issue, while it’s fine to keep it from outsiders, we close family should be inford. Even if we can’t help, we could at least support you through these tough tis."
Qin’s mother smiled wryly, "To keep the news contained, I had to. Not only outsiders, even within the Qin Family, only the core mbers knew.
Besides, Ah Tan disappeared in M Country, and our family’s power is here in the country. Telling you would only spread worry. What good would that do?
If this issue had happened dostically, I would have surely reached out for your help imdiately.
You see, Xiao Li’s maternal grandmother is from the Bai Family, and they have connections in M Country. I didn’t hesitate to ask for their help in searching for him.
Dostically, had you not sensed sothing amiss and asked, I wouldn’t have said a word, wanting to keep the news contained until Ah Tan returned.
Even now, I must ask you to help keep it under wraps for as long as possible."
Madam Zhen and Wen Xin both nodded, "Rest assured, we understand."
Wen Xin then asked, "What is the current situation with Ah Tan and his brothers?
When will they be able to return?"
Qin’s mother shook her head, "It’s uncertain when they can return. Ah Tan is injured, and he hasn’t regained consciousness yet.
The doctor said there was a blood clot in his brain before, and today, they plan to perform a craniotomy to remove it.
We are all still waiting for news."
Because they were waiting for updates, He Jie ca over to stay with Qin’s mother again today. Otherwise, she had already been staying at her own villa with her children.
Qin’s mother turned to Madam Zhen, "Sister, has Ah Tan’s situation been kept from Mother?"
Madam Zhen nodded, "Yes, we are being cautious. We know she shouldn’t find out about this."
Upon hearing this, Qin’s mother felt relieved.
