Chapter 116 Qi Yan Tells the Truth
The next day, Qi Yan went to his office early. Both his office and the director's office had their own telephones.

Looking at the numbers in the phone book, Qi Yan shook his hand to dial the operator in the capital city, and then was transferred to Qi Jianhua's workplace.

Qi Yan waited for a long time, a full three minutes, but no one answered the phone.

Just as he was about to hang up, a long-lost voice sounded on the other end.

"what's up?"

Hearing his father's voice, Qi Yan's calm heart stirred. "Qi Yan is here with me."

"When did this happen?"

“Yesterday afternoon, I was too busy to take care of her. Could you call her and pick her up?”

The father and son's conversation was very concise.

“You’re busy, and so am I. She’s probably feeling a bit down because of Yan Yan. Just let her stay with you for a while and relax. It’s good for you, her older brother, to keep her company.”

Qi Jianhua showed no concern whatsoever about Qi Yan's departure.

Qi Yan was used to her father's indifferent attitude. "She was almost kidnapped on the way, and you're really willing to let her go back alone?"

Upon hearing the word "human trafficking," there was an unusual silence on the other end.

Qi Jianhua quickly glanced at the documents in his hand, and after confirming that everything was correct, he quickly signed them.

"Okay, I'll give her a good talking to when she gets back. Is there anything else you want to say?"

Qi Yan frowned, dissatisfied with his father's answer.

"..."

Seeing that Qi Yan remained silent, Qi Jianhua spoke up, "Alright, I have to go to a meeting. We can talk about it later."

After he finished speaking, the phone was hung up.

Qi Yan stared helplessly at the disconnected phone, sighed slightly, and could only think of another way.

Less than ten minutes after hanging up the phone, there was a knock on Qi Yan's office door. It was Wu Gang.

"Director Qi, Dr. Lin wants you to go to the infirmary. She said... if you don't go, she'll kill someone."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Qi Yan outwardly agreed, but in reality, he remained seated and showed no intention of getting up.

Wu Gang didn't dare to say anything more. After delivering the message, he left the office and returned to the guardhouse.

Seeing Wu Gang return alone, Lin Miao asked with a displeased look, "Where's Qi Yan?"

Wu Gang gave an awkward smile. "I've already delivered the message. Director Qi is probably still busy. As you know, Dr. Lin, Director Qi and his team can't afford to have their train of thought interrupted."

"Alright, stop trying to cover for me. You're my witness, and his sister has to die by my hand today!"

After saying that, Lin Miao nodded angrily, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to go back to the infirmary to start a big fight.

The angry man turned around, and upon seeing who was approaching from not far away, his expression instantly changed.

"Sisi, why didn't you go to work today?"

When Ji Sisi got closer, Lin Miao finally saw hope.

Seeing that Lin Miao's expression was off, Ji Sisi probably guessed what had made Lin Miao angry. "The office hasn't been too busy lately. I'm thinking of going to the grasslands. Do you want to come with me?"

"Go to the grasslands?" Lin Miao recalled being surrounded by wolves last time, and goosebumps immediately rose on his skin.

"The grasslands are so dangerous..."

The words of refusal were about to come out when Lin Miao thought of the troublemaker in the infirmary and quickly withdrew them. "Okay, wait for me a moment. I'll have Dr. Wu cover for me for half a day."

Lin Miao turned and ran away. The thought of not having to face Qi Yan made her incredibly happy.

Ji Sisi called out to Lin Miao, "I'll take you home."

She could easily tell that Lin Miao had been thoroughly tormented. She had already gone to the production team, but there was really nothing she could help with, so she turned back.

They decided to try their luck on the grasslands and maybe dig up some caterpillar fungus along the way. Lin Miao thought it made sense; Sisi had a car, and walking back would be a waste of time for her, so she decisively got in the car.
-
An hour later, Qi Yan walked out of the office building.

As they were leaving through the gate, Wu Gang called out to Director Qi, "Director Qi, are you going to see Dr. Lin?"

Qi Yan stopped walking. "Hmm."

"Then you don't need to go. Your sister-in-law has already taken Dr. Lin away. They've gone to the grasslands."

Wu Gang grinned and said, "He's really clever. This way, Director Qi won't have to make a wasted trip."

Qi Yan's expression was cold and stern, his deep voice carrying a hint of displeasure as he asked again, "Did they go to the grasslands?"

Qi Yan silently calculated how many days had passed since Little Grey left, his heart sinking with uncontrollable worry.

Wu Gang thought that Director Qi didn't believe him, so he said with certainty, "Yes, my sister-in-law said it herself, and Dr. Lin also went."

"I understand, thank you."

Qi Yan stopped smiling, turned around and left, walking towards the infirmary with a cold face.

Wu Gang looked at the spot where Qi Yan had left, scratching his head in confusion. "Strange, didn't we say Dr. Lin wasn't here? Why did Director Qi go to the infirmary?"

Infirmary.

Qi Yan sat on the empty hospital bed waiting for Lin Miao to return, her beautiful eyes looking around the infirmary with a bored expression.

Why isn't Sister Lin back yet? Qi Yan didn't understand.

Her suggestion was so good; with her matchmaking, my brother will definitely see his own heart and choose Sister Lin.

I've done Sister Lin and Brother Lin such a big favor, they'll definitely thank me.

They heard someone come in.

"How about it, have you thought about it?"

As soon as Qi Yan finished speaking, seeing that the person who came was not Lin Miao, the smile on her face quickly disappeared.

Upon recognizing that it was Qi Yan, Qi Yan quickly jumped off the bed and stood up obediently.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"What did you mean by what you just said?" Qi Yan didn't ignore her and questioned her directly.

Qi Yan smiled, still trying to play dumb and brush it off, "It's nothing, I thought it was Sister Lin Miao who came back."

"I'm asking you, what did you discuss with her?"

Qi Yan's expression was tense, and he had been carrying an angry aura since he entered.

Hearing her brother's questioning tone, Qi Yan remained calm, simply putting on her usual obedient and docile demeanor, "Big brother, do you know that Sister Lin likes you?"

"Just say what you want to say."

“Brother, I don’t think your current sister-in-law is good enough for you. You don’t know how rude she was when Mom called her last time. She even called Mom ignorant of the law.”

Qi Yan spoke confidently, firmly believing that her older brother would listen to her.

She did it all for her older brother's good.

“Sister Lin and our family have been friends for generations. She has known you for many years and is also an outstanding graduate of our school. She is more suitable for you than Ji Sisi.”

“Mom and Dad wouldn’t like someone like Ji Sisi as their daughter-in-law. I just don’t want things to get even worse between you and Mom and Dad…”

As Qi Yan spoke, she observed Qi Yan's expression.

"Enough, Qi Yan. What makes you think you have the right to tell me what to do about my life and my wife? I haven't even told my parents I got married. Do you think I care about what they think of Sisi?"

Qi Yan's dark pupils were cold, and his words were devoid of any warmth.

“You call me big brother, so I treat you like a half-sister, but don’t forget, you are never a member of the Qi family.”

"I'll buy you a train ticket as soon as possible. Be careful on the road. I've already called Dad. He knows you're here and he's very angry. Think carefully about how to explain this to your parents."

Qi Yan was stunned. Her astonished eyes refused to believe that these words had come from her older brother's mouth.
