Seeing Qin He's serious expression, Di Shishi was curious.
"How do they manufacture it?"
Qin He paused. "Two years ago, I had a car accident, and the Qin family was in chaos once."
"More than half a year ago, I had another car accident, and the Qin family was in chaos again."
"About half a year ago, my brother had a car accident. Although the Qin family didn't fall into chaos this time, I found someone had sneaked into my room to look for something."
Di Shishi was furious. "Why have you never told us about these things?!"
"And don't these people have any other tricks?"
Qin He chuckled, remembering the time the bus crashed her car into the river.
"Without any other tricks, in a big city like Qingcheng, what could be more natural and harder to guard against than a car accident?"
Qin He thought for a moment. "They probably don't dare to kill me, or rather, since they want to obtain something, they should know that the item is very likely in a bank safe deposit box. These people probably don't want to kill anyone yet."
But who knew, if they couldn't get what they wanted, they might resort to kidnapping or hostage-taking.
So many accidents had already happened, yet she couldn't find any trace. This was enough to make one wary!
Qin He looked at Di Shishi. "Has Mo found anything?"
"He seems very busy lately, he doesn't talk much in the group chat, but I think he's investigating this matter."
Qin He nodded.
Around noon, she and Di Shishi went downstairs for lunch.
Ming Yuzhu saw Qin He with Di Shishi, thinking she was just a little assistant called over by her.
Qin He didn't have many friends, so Ming Yuzhu enthusiastically invited Di Shishi to join them for lunch.
Back in Qingcheng.
Qin He planned to deal with the matters concerning Qin Yun and Xu Wanwan.
However, for the next three days, she didn't get any news of Qin Yun returning home.
She visited the Xu family twice, and both times the Xu parents looked troubled, saying that Xu Wanwan was not at home.
It wasn't that she wasn't home; it was more likely that no one wanted to see her.
At ten in the morning, Qin He walked out of the Xu residence again.
She happened to encounter two maids leaving.
Qin He hid to the side, and after the two maids had walked some distance, she stepped forward.
"Miss Qin?!" the maids were surprised.
Qin He glanced at the oil stains on the maids' clothes. Xu Wanwan's mother had a潔癖 (germophobia). If they were maids cleaning in the living room or bedroom, they wouldn't allow oil stains on themselves.
These two must be from the kitchen.
"Hello," Qin He said with a smile.
The two maids immediately bowed. "Hello, Miss Qin!"
"I was just planning to visit Wanwan. I went the past couple of days, and Aunt Xu said Wanwan wasn't home. I came early today specifically. Is your young lady at home?"
Qin He asked with a smile.
The two maids exchanged glances, their expressions clearly guilty. "Young lady, she... she's not home."
"Is that so? Then where did she go?"
The two maids paused for a long time, unable to answer.
Qin He smiled, took out a stack of banknotes from her bag, and stuffed them into the maids' hands. "The Xu family knows about the relationship between Wanwan and me. I'm just worried about her and want to know where she's gone."
One maid looked at the stack of banknotes and hesitated. "Madam told us not to say anything—"
"It's okay, if you tell me, I absolutely won't tell anyone else."
The maid hesitated for a few seconds. Qin He looked at the other maid, took out another stack from her bag, and gave it to the other person. "You must keep this a secret, okay?"
Both of them accepted the money, thought for a moment, and no longer hesitated. "Miss Qin, we're telling you this because we know you are our young lady's best friend. The young lady returned from Haicheng the day before yesterday and locked herself in her room. No matter who calls, she won't open the door."
Qin He frowned. "Has she eaten? Does Aunt Xu not care?"
"Madam does care, but the young lady doesn't listen. And when the young lady came back, her eyes were swollen from crying, which was quite frightening. Madam is afraid she might do something reckless, so she doesn't dare to persuade her too much. Many people have come to visit the young lady recently, but Madam turned them all away."
Qin He understood. Xu Wanwan had gone into "seclusion."
Once this seclusion ended, she would likely make a decision.
She took a deep breath.
After smiling and bidding farewell to the two maids, she turned and left.
She had to find her brother!
Qin He went directly to Qin Corporation.
In the lounge of the top-floor CEO's office, Qin He found Qin Yun sleeping.
She angrily pulled the blanket. "Brother, how much longer are you going to hide here!"
Qin Yun was woken up from his sleep, his expression still a little displeased. "I'm not hiding. Be good, I've just been too busy with work."
Qin He was amused and angry. "When your leg was injured, I was handling Qin Corporation's affairs all along. How busy Qin Corporation is, how could I not know?"
Qin Yun was silent for two seconds. "Recently, there have been many collaborations with Lu Corporation, and many details need to be handled."
Qin He immediately got angry, her voice rising a bit. "Lu Corporation is managed by Lu Mingxi. I called him yesterday, and he went to a club at five in the afternoon. If it's all about collaboration, is he not busy while you are?!"
Seeing Qin He yelling, Qin Yun glanced at his sister's pregnant belly and became obedient.
"Alright, don't get angry. You're still pregnant."
Qin He gritted her teeth. "Brother, I'm telling you, if you don't go find Xu Wanwan now, you'll truly lose her!"
Qin Yun's expression turned somber, his knuckles white as he gripped the blanket.
"Originally, I didn't want to delay her."
"What do you mean delay! She's locked herself up at home and is starving herself!" Qin He roared. "This time she's not playing around. Wanwan, once she's made up her mind, she can be more decisive than me forgetting Gu Qichen after losing my memory!"
Qin Yun let out a bitter laugh at Qin He's comparison.
"He'er, life is a hundred years. We haven't even reached the halfway point. What does love mean now? If she followed me, for the next seventy or eighty years, we wouldn't have children. If I left first in old age, there would be no one to send me off."
Qin He was so angry she laughed. "Brother, do you think I'm dead? Let's not talk about other things first. With the average lifespan in modern society, you two won't live for seventy or eighty years!"
Qin Yun: ...My sister is too much.
Qin He sat opposite Qin Yun and continued to persuade him earnestly. "Secondly, even if you two never have children, what is this in my belly? Can't this baby be your old-age support? If you're worried, I can give it to you two to raise directly!"
As soon as Qin He finished speaking, her belly suddenly bulged.
The baby inside kicked her.
Qin He was silent for a moment. Qin Yun laughed, and this time there was a hint of genuine amusement in his laughter. "See? The baby is angry too."
He cautiously touched Qin He's belly. "The Qin family will depend on you in the future. Don't be angry, don't be angry."
Qin He didn't have time to think about the first kick anymore and continued to look at Qin Yun.
"Brother, I've studied your medical records. Two years ago, there was indeed no solution."
She took a deep breath. "But do you know your sister's capabilities? I'm the famous Professor Harlana! Are there any illnesses I can't solve?"
