Afterwards, the four bodyguards put the things into the trunk of Ye Fan’s car and walked towards a black car in the distance.
After Ye Fan drove away, their car followed closely.
In Ye Fan’s car…
There was a question that Xu Hongdou had been holding back for a long time. Now that they were alone, she finally asked Ye Fan, "Husband, you looked so scary just now. If Wei Zhuo didn't investigate Ji Kun, would you really do that to him?"
The reason why Xu Hongdou asked this was mainly because she was very worried about Ye Fan. She didn't want Ye Fan to do anything wrong because of this.
After understanding what Xu Hongdou meant, Ye Fan burst into laughter. After he finished laughing, he slowly said to Xu Hongdou, "Hongdou, you are so silly and cute. I was just trying to scare him. How could I really do something illegal?"
Hearing this, Xu Hongdou's face turned red. She also felt that her question seemed a bit stupid. How could Ye Fan really do something to Wei Zhuo? However, Ye Fan's terrifying expression just now did scare her, so she asked that question.
Chen Nanxing on the side was looking at Ye Fan with surprise. She didn't expect that Ye Fan had such a side, and it was quite scary.
"Honey, that was so scary just now." Chen Nanxing said, patting his chest.
Ye Fan smiled and glanced at Chen Nanxing, then said: "Hey, if I don't say that, will he go and check it out obediently?"
Hearing Ye Fan say this, Lin Yutong and Xu Hongdou couldn't help laughing.
Then Ye Fan said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. Let's go home first."
The fact is that Ye Fan will not do anything to Wei Zhuo personally, but this does not mean that he will not instruct No. 1 to take action against Wei Zhuo.
Just after Wei Zhuo left, Ye Fan immediately made arrangements and sent No. 1 to follow Wei Zhuo secretly, with the purpose of observing whether Wei Zhuo would really monitor Ji Kun according to his request.
On the way back to Shanghai, Wei Zhuo sat in the passenger seat of a white BMW. The driver was the young man named Xiao Tao.
"Brother Wei, that man just now really scared me!" Xiao Tao still said with lingering fear when mentioning Ye Fan.
When Wei Zhuo heard this, his heart tightened, and the task that Ye Fan had assigned to him before emerged in his mind.
Then, he gave Xiao Tao an order without hesitation: "Xiao Tao, drive directly to the airport, we will rush to Beijing immediately!"
"Ah? Why, Viagra?" Xiao Tao asked in surprise.
Wei Zhuo stared at Xiao Tao seriously, with a hint of anger and disappointment in his eyes, and reprimanded him sternly: "Go when I tell you to, don't hesitate or resist. Do you want to put both of us in danger? We must go to the capital tonight to investigate Ji Kun, otherwise I will have sleepless nights!"
Xiao Tao suddenly understood why Wei Zhuo insisted on going to the capital. It turned out that Ji Kun lived in the capital.
However, seeing Wei Zhuo's nervous look, Xiao Tao hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Wei, are we really going to do things for him? I don't believe he can do anything to us. After all, this is a society ruled by law, and he dare not do anything he wants."
When Wei Zhuo heard Xiao Tao's words, he was so angry that he almost kicked him. If Xiao Tao hadn't been driving, he would have attacked him without hesitation.
Wei Zhuo was very angry about Xiao Tao's stupidity, but he took a deep breath and tried to calm his anger. Finally, he slowly opened his mouth and said to Xiao Tao in a serious tone: "Xiao Tao, this world is much more complicated than you think. Do you really think Ye Fan is just talking casually? Let me tell you, if we don't go to the capital today, I'm afraid we will never see the sun again tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Xiao Tao's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment, obviously unable to accept such a fact. He had always believed that Ye Fan was just bluffing and would not take any actual action. However, facing Wei Zhuo's warning at this moment, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and a trace of uneasiness surged in his heart.
Seeing Xiao Tao's unbelievable expression, Wei Zhuo shook his head helplessly and said nothing more. He knew Xiao Tao's character very well and knew that it would be futile to explain. So he quickly picked up his phone and started to book a flight to Beijing.
It has to be said that Wei Zhuo was quite lucky this time, or it could be said that his own wise decision saved his life. In fact, from the beginning, every move of Wei Zhuo and Xiao Tao was under the close monitoring of No. 1. If Wei Zhuo showed any signs of escape or resistance, No. 1 would not hesitate to arrange a seemingly accidental accident to make Wei Zhuo and Xiao Tao disappear from this world forever.
After listening to the conversation between the two, No. 1 secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming that Wei Zhuo was indeed honest, he stopped monitoring them. Now that he had learned about Wei Zhuo's situation, No. 1 directly contacted Ye Fan to report the latest progress to him.
At the same time, Ye Fan was driving back to the Ode to Joy community. When he received the message from No. 1, a faint smile appeared on his face. He became more curious about Wei Zhuo and felt that this guy might become a chess piece in his hands. If there was a chance, he even considered using Wei Zhuo more.
However, Wei Zhuo didn't know that his performance just now actually saved him from a disaster. After booking the ticket, he put down the seat with a sense of relief and began to close his eyes to rest, not noticing Ye Fan and No. 1's attention to him at all.
Ye Fan put Wei Zhuo's matter aside for the time being, told No. 1 to keep an eye on his movements, and then focused on driving the car. On the way, he chatted with the two women in the car from time to time, enjoying the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
And on the other side...
After Qin Shi and Lina walked out of the house together, Lina took Qin Shi to an elegant coffee shop. They sat down in a quiet corner and ordered only a cup of coffee. Because Qin Shi was not feeling well, she chose a cup of warm boiled water.
After sitting down, Qin Shi spoke first.
"Nana, when did Hongmi say she would come?" Qin Shi asked first.
After hearing this, Li Na looked at the time and replied, "Don't worry, Sister Shi, she should be here soon."
"Sister Shi, how did you think of asking me to ask her out? Is there something wrong?" Lina asked puzzledly.
Qin Shi and Lina had always had a good relationship, and this time she did not hide anything from Lina and directly told her purpose.
"Nana, this is what I think. Anyway, I have forgiven him now. I just want to have more contact with Hongmi and take this opportunity to ask her to bring me and Xu Hongdou to meet. I don't want to make it difficult for him."
After hearing Qin Shi's words, Lina opened her mouth wide. She didn't expect Qin Shi to do this for Ye Fan.
Unbelievable, Li Na looked at Qin Shi with some heartache and said, "Sister Shi, is it worth it for you to do this?"
Qin Shi smiled slightly, with a firm look in his eyes: "Nana, love is like this, sometimes you have to pay a price. I love him, so I am willing to make concessions for him. Besides, this is also a way to solve the problem. If we can be friends, wouldn't it be better?"
Lina sighed, secretly admiring Qin Shi's generosity and courage. She knew that this was a difficult decision.
Qin Shi thought of what Ye Fan had done for her, and she was filled with gratitude. She felt that she could no longer embarrass him. So, she decided to take the initiative to help, so that Ye Fan would no longer worry about this matter.
Li Na was very puzzled when she heard Qin Shi's words. In her mind, Qin Shi was a nearly perfect woman, and she really didn't need to worry about someone like Ye Fan. However, as a loyal fan of Qin Shi, Li Na didn't say much. She knew Qin Shi very well, and since Qin Shi had made such a decision, she would naturally support it with all her strength. This tacit understanding and trust was the embodiment of their deep friendship over the years.
As the two were talking, the door of the store was gently pushed open, and a figure walked in - Xu Hongmi. After she entered the store, she looked around and her eyes quickly locked on Qin Shi and Lina. Then, she walked quickly towards them.
"Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road." Xu Hongmi looked at Qin Shi and Lina and said apologetically.
Qin Shi and Lina smiled and responded, showing their understanding. Qin Shi took the initiative to say, "Sister Hongmi, you are too polite. We just arrived not long ago. What would you like to drink?" After that, she handed the menu to Xu Hongmi.
Xu Hongmi glanced at the menu in front of her, ordered a cup of coffee casually, and then straightened her clothes. She looked at Li Na and Qin Shi across from her and asked, "Lawyer Qin, you asked Li Na to come over. Is there something wrong?"
Qin Shi smiled at Xu Hongmi and replied, "It's nothing important. It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, so I wanted to invite you out to chat and reminisce. Also, you don't have to call me Lawyer Qin anymore. You can call me Shi Shi like before. It will be more intimate this way."
After hearing this, Xu Hongmi gladly accepted it, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll call you Shi Shi from now on. It does make people feel a little strange to always call you Lawyer Qin."
At this time, Qin Shi was thinking about how to cleverly lead the topic to Xu Hongdou. She didn't dare to directly ask Xu Hongmi to get to know Xu Hongdou, because that might seem too deliberate and easily arouse Xu Hongmi's suspicion. After some thought, Qin Shi thought that she should take a roundabout way and inadvertently guide Xu Hongmi to take the initiative to talk about Xu Hongdou.
After figuring it out, Qin Shi relaxed and decided not to dwell on the past but to face the future positively. So, she began to find topics to chat with Xu Hongmi, trying to break the silence and ease the awkward atmosphere.
The two chatted happily, reminiscing about their childhood and sharing their experiences growing up. Xu Hongmi smiled and mentioned that she had a younger sister, and that they often had some small quarrels when they were young, but now they recalled it with great warmth. Qin Shi also told them some of his own embarrassing childhood stories without reservation, which made the two laugh.
As the conversation deepened, Qin Shi felt that the time was ripe, and she decided to take the initiative. She pretended to suddenly remember something and said to Xu Hongmi in a surprised tone: "By the way, Sister Hongmi, didn't you just say that your sister's name is Xu Hongdou? I know there is a celebrity with the same name as your sister! What a coincidence!"
Xu Hongmi was stunned at first, then she couldn't help but laughed. She laughed so hard that tears almost came out, and finally stopped laughing. After she caught her breath, she slowly explained to Qin Shi: "I'm sorry, Shishi, it's mainly because your question just now reminded me of something. In fact, the Xu Hongdou you mentioned is my sister! How is it? Are you surprised?"
After Xu Hongmi finished speaking, she looked at Qin Shi expectantly, hoping to see an expression of surprise on her face.
As expected, Qin Shi is worthy of being a lawyer. She is not inferior to Xu Hongdou in acting. Even though she knew the truth, she still pretended to be surprised.
"It can't be such a coincidence! She is actually your sister, Hongmi?"
Seeing Qin Shi's expression, Xu Hongmi nodded in confirmation and said, "Actually, my sister wasn't a star before. I don't know why she insisted on filming a TV series with her best friend today. I didn't expect that she would become famous all of a sudden! It's amazing, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Qin Shi nodded seriously. Although she knew Xu Hongdou, she still didn't know much about some things about Xu Hongdou.
Since Xu Hongmi was here, Qin Shi did not hesitate and started asking about Xu Hongdou.
"Have you contacted each other recently?" Qin Shi asked.
Xu Hongmi shook her head and said, "No, she has been busy filming recently and we haven't been in touch much."
Qin Shi asked again: "Did she tell you about her next plan? For example, whether she will continue to film or not."
Xu Hongmi thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about that, but from what I know about her, she should continue to try new things. After all, she has always been a person who likes to challenge herself."
Qin Shi nodded to show her understanding, and then she asked a few more questions about Xu Hongdou, and Xu Hongmi answered them one by one. Through this conversation, Qin Shi had a deeper understanding of Xu Hongdou, and also became more curious about her.
"Thank you, Sister Hongmi. After talking to you for so long, I have a deeper understanding of Hongdou." Qin Shi said with a smile.
"You're welcome. I'm glad to help you too. If you have any other questions, you can always come to me." Xu Hongmi responded enthusiastically.
Qin Shi nodded, secretly thinking about the next plan in his mind.
She decided to find an opportunity to meet Xu Hongdou in person and see if she could become friends with her first.
But for now, she should build a good relationship with Xu Hongmi first. After all, they will all be a family in the future, and she is willing to do all these things for Ye Fan.
Afterwards, Qin Shi asked Xu Hongmi about her personal issues. Qin Shi knew that she was single now, so he jokingly said to her, "Sister Hongmi, I see that you are still young. Do you want me to introduce you to someone? There are quite a few single men in our law firm."
Hearing this, Xu Hongmi quickly waved her hand and refused, "Don't...don't worry about me. I will raise the child by myself in the future."
For some reason, when Qin Shi talked about this, Xu Hongmi suddenly thought of Ye Fan.
The next second she quickly came to her senses and cursed herself.
