"Dad, should we tell Mr. Qin about this?" Luo Yongnian asked after watching Meng Shulan leave, his gaze returning as she disappeared out the door.
Luo Dexuan answered without hesitation, "Tell him, we must tell him! This is also an opportunity for us to get closer to him!"
Immediately after, Luo Yongnian called Qin Yi.
At Jin Shanhe's home.
Qin Yi took Luo Yongnian's call and learned about Meng Shulan going to the Iron Fist Boxing Gym to find someone. He turned and told Jin Shanhe.
Upon hearing this, Jin Shanhe became even more enraged. He was already very angry when Meng Shulan didn't answer his earlier call.
Unable to reach Meng Shulan, Jin Shanhe finally called his secretary and asked her to find out where Meng Shulan and Jin Sheng were.
After doing all this, Jin Shanhe sat down again, but the anger on his face lingered.
Han Sanwan advised, "Brother Shanhe, you should calm down. As long as we've cleared things up, there's no need to get so angry!"
"Alas!"
Jin Shanhe sighed heavily, wanting to say something but ultimately stopping himself.
He repeatedly assured Qin Yi that he would prevent Meng Shulan and Jin Sheng from acting recklessly, and he solemnly apologized to Qin Yi.
Since they had said this, Qin Yi and Han Sanwan didn't say anything further.
Later, after the matter was resolved, Han Sanwan gestured to Qin Yi, signaling it was time to leave. However, Qin Yi remained seated without moving.
As Han Sanwan was wondering why, Qin Yi suddenly said to Jin Shanhe, "Mayor Jin, may I see your right hand?"
"???"
Han Sanwan and Jin Shanhe were confused.
Han Sanwan then explained, "Brother Shanhe, Qin Yi is actually a doctor. His medical skills are extraordinary. I was ill before, and he cured me..."
Jin Shanhe looked surprised, "Is that so? Brother Qin looks no older than thirty, yet he's so skilled!"
"No wonder you, Mr. Han, personally came all the way to Lingnan to find me for him. I see!"
But then, he smiled at Qin Yi and said, "Young Brother Qin, are you trying to examine me? I'm in good health, and I have regular physicals from the unit, so I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need for an examination!"
Qin Yi shook his head and truthfully replied, "No, Mayor Jin. Earlier, when you shook hands with that elderly man in plain clothes, I noticed something unusual. I suspect that the elderly man harbored ill intentions towards you and did something, so I want to confirm it!"
Through their brief interaction, Qin Yi was certain that Jin Shanhe was a just, incorruptible, and respectable person.
Most importantly, his position was high, and his safety had significant implications. Therefore, Qin Yi couldn't stand by after noticing the anomaly during his handshake with the elderly man.
Upon hearing this, Jin Shanhe was taken aback.
Han Sanwan quickly said, "In that case, Qin Yi, you must examine Brother Shanhe thoroughly..."
Han Sanwan trusted Qin Yi's abilities implicitly.
Jin Shanhe, however, was skeptical. He had only shaken hands normally with the elderly man for a few seconds, and he hadn't felt anything unusual. What could that person have done to him?
However, seeing Qin Yi's serious demeanor and hearing Han Sanwan's words, he eventually offered his right hand.
Qin Yi didn't delay. He took Jin Shanhe's hand and turned it over to examine it.
Then, he extended two fingers and placed them on Jin Shanhe's pulse to feel it.
Jin Shanhe and Han Sanwan stared at him intently.
After about ten seconds, Qin Yi's brow furrowed slightly.
Seeing this, Han Sanwan immediately asked, "Qin Yi, what's wrong? Is Brother Shanhe okay?"
"It's done!"
Qin Yi withdrew his hand, his expression turning somewhat solemn.
Seeing this, Jin Shanhe couldn't help but ask, "Young Brother Qin, why the expression? Is there really something wrong with my health?"
"Yes," Qin Yi nodded. "Mayor Jin, you've been subjected to the Soul Control Technique by that elderly man in plain clothes!"
"Soul Control Technique?"
"What is the Soul Control Technique???"
Both Han Sanwan and Jin Shanhe were bewildered, looking perplexed.
Qin Yi explained, "The Soul Control Technique, put simply, is a method of controlling a person's soul! When someone is afflicted by the Soul Control Technique, their actions are completely manipulated by the caster. If the caster tells them to go east, they will go east; if they tell them to go west, they will go west!"
"To put it even more plainly, Mayor Jin, you've fallen victim to the elderly man's Soul Control Technique. You will do whatever he tells you to do!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Shanhe's gaze towards Qin Yi immediately changed, becoming stern.
He said, "Young man, what era is this? You still believe in such nonsensical things?"
"Moreover, you are young and have received higher education. You should believe in science! This 'Soul Control Technique' is utter nonsense!"
It was evident that Jin Shanhe, as the Mayor of Lingnan, did not believe in ghosts or deities and thought Qin Yi was talking nonsense, a superstition!
Let alone Jin Shanhe, even Han Sanwan now doubted Qin Yi's words.
He knew Qin Yi was a skilled doctor and a capable fighter, but the Soul Control Technique, controlling someone's soul...
This was too supernatural, something he had never heard of or encountered before, so he naturally doubted it!
Qin Yi saw their skepticism and sighed slightly, saying no more!
Han Sanwan chatted with Jin Shanhe for a while. Jin Shanhe even lectured Qin Yi a few more times, telling him to believe in science and not in such absurd things. Qin Yi felt both helpless and amused.
Finally, Han Sanwan politely declined Jin Shanhe's invitation to stay for dinner and left Jin's house with Qin Yi.
As soon as they were out of the residential area, Qin Yi said, "Uncle Han, I have some matters to attend to and need to stay in Lingnan for a day or two. You can go back first!"
Hearing this, Han Sanwan naturally said nothing more, only reminding him to be careful before getting into his car and returning to Haicheng alone.
After Han Sanwan left, Qin Yi stood in place, looked around, and then returned to the residential area.
He went to the rooftop of the building opposite Jin Shanhe's residence.
From the rooftop, he could clearly see the situation inside Jin Shanhe's home.
That's right, Qin Yi stayed behind precisely to help Jin Shanhe!
Since the man had fallen victim to the Soul Control Technique, if he left today, Jin Shanhe would surely be doomed! With his position, if the elderly man used him to do something bad, the consequences would be extremely severe!
Although Jin Shanhe didn't believe Qin Yi, it was merely his perception and beliefs, and he couldn't be blamed for it!
Qin Yi couldn't stand idly by and watch someone in need!
Thus, Qin Yi remained on the rooftop, constantly monitoring the situation in Jin Shanhe's home!
