The shower lasted nearly forty minutes. When the door opened, Jiang Qin was carried out by Huo Sili.
Just as he was put on the bed, Jiang Qin grabbed one of the tips of Huo Sili's pillows and dragged it to the ground.
Actually, I originally wanted to throw it in his face.
I was exhausted from all the exertion, and I was also sleepy and had no energy left.
After throwing it away, Jiang Qin didn't care what Huo Sili thought. She simply closed her eyes, wrapped herself in the blanket, and went to sleep.
Huo Sili glanced at the pillow that Jiang Qin had thrown on the ground.
"..."
He picked it up without any expression.
Put it in the laundry basket in the bathroom.
Then, almost instinctively, she went down to the second floor and took the pillow she had used in the guest room.
……
The next day, when Jiang Qin woke up, Huo Sili had already gone to work.
Jiang Qin continued as usual, proceeding at her own pace.
After breakfast, I took a walk in the garden, read books to learn about pregnancy, listened to online classes to review my professional knowledge, and did some drawing.
During lunch, I remembered the lie I told Horst Holmes about her recently going to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to regulate her body, and I thought I should make sure to cover it up when I have time.
In the afternoon, Jiang Qin asked Uncle Yang to take her to a well-known, long-established traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the southern part of Kyoto.
This traditional Chinese medicine clinic has always valued its reputation and has a strong sense of confidentiality. In particular, the elderly doctor surnamed Wu, who is very old and a devout believer, would never do anything that would be morally reprehensible, such as leaking patients' privacy for money.
Jiang Qin was relieved to go and even made a special appointment with Old Wu.
However, she was in the first trimester of pregnancy, and it was obviously not appropriate for her to take medication to regulate her body at this time, a fact that Jiang Qin herself was well aware of.
In fact, the main reason she went there was to leave a driving record of her trip to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the Mercedes-Benz at Yunhai Huafu.
Secondly, if Huo Sili still doesn't believe it, he can find concrete evidence that she went to the Chinese medicine clinic for treatment.
As for conditioning her body, Jiang Qin really didn't have any expectations at this stage.
To her surprise, the doctor was even more ethical than rumored. After examining her, he didn't prescribe any medicine, but instead recommended a few dishes, saying that she couldn't take medicine now but could try food therapy.
Jiang Qin thanked the old doctor, and after leaving, she didn't have any particular place she wanted to go or needed to go, so she directly told Uncle Yang that she wanted to go back to Yunhai Huafu.
But just as I started the car, a phone call came in.
Jiang Qin frowned when she saw the caller ID.
Just as I was about to hang up and block them, a message from the same number arrived on my phone first.
As she glanced at the words displayed in the status bar, Jiang Qin's expression suddenly turned cold.
……
It was nearly six o'clock, at the Huo Group headquarters, in the senior management conference room.
A multinational video conference is underway, with senior executives from both sides seated around the conference table, their faces serious.
At the same time, a black van stopped on the roadside 200 meters from the Huo Group headquarters.
A man was kicked down and fell awkwardly to the side of the road.
He opened his mouth as if to scream in pain, but no sound came out. The reason was simple: his throat was severely dehydrated and completely hoarse.
This person was none other than Jiang Jianrong, the current husband of Jiang Qin's mother, Wang Peilan.
Not long after Jiang Jianrong was kicked out, the passenger door of the black van opened, and a man in his thirties with an ordinary appearance and simple clothes, but whose eyes were obviously unfriendly, got out of the car.
The man yanked Jiang Jianrong, who was lying on the ground, up.
They dragged the 1.7-meter-tall man forward a distance like a dead pig until he realized where he was and suddenly panicked.
You need to stand up quickly.
But they soon discovered he couldn't stand up because he was too hungry.
I was so hungry that I felt dizzy and weak, and the wound was so painful that I saw stars. It was worse than death.
At that very moment, the man pulling Jiang Jianrong said to him, "You said your stepdaughter is the president's secretary at Huo's Group? Then her salary must be very high, right? She can afford to pay the money you owe us, can she?"
Jiang Jianrong froze, but when he met those sinister eyes, he could only nod repeatedly and dared not say anything for a moment.
The middle-aged man glanced at Jiang Jianrong, his expression softening slightly, but his tone remained menacing. "You'd better not lie to us! Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be!"
These words were clearly very intimidating to Jiang Jianrong. The moment the man finished speaking, Jiang Jianrong's already pale face turned ashen, like a layer of paint on a wall.
A few minutes later, the sharp-eyed receptionist spotted two strange individuals walking towards headquarters and immediately became alert.
At this moment, seeing that one of them was still clearly not in a good state, and remembering the Wang Peilan incident that He Xu had personally handled before, he became even more vigilant.
Without hesitation, the receptionist sent two security guards to stop them.
……
Meanwhile, Jiang Qin, who had asked Uncle Yang to drive the car to Huo's headquarters, was communicating with the 110 operator.
The person on the other end was clearly quite surprised by her description, but their professionalism was on point. They quickly told her not to worry too much, that they would send someone over, and that they would arrive soon.
After the call ended, Jiang Qin thought for a moment and then sent Huo Sili a message.
I sent it, but there was no reply for a long time.
She looked at his previous schedule, and there were no special arrangements for this time of year before, so he shouldn't be considered busy.
However, Jiang Qin didn't think too much about it, since it wasn't uncommon for emergency situations to require changes to schedules.
We simply prepared for the worst.
The car stopped, and he hadn't even gotten out of it yet.
Jiang Qin lowered the car window slightly and, upon seeing and hearing what was happening ahead, her face turned somewhat pale for a moment.
"She's heartless! Even though he's her stepfather, he's the one who raised her! Now that she's successful, she's forgotten her roots!"
"Her stepfather is seriously ill and urgently needs money for surgery! Look at him, he can't even stand up straight! And she won't give him a single penny!"
The security guards around them frowned, clearly not believing the description of Jiang Qin given by the other party.
One of the security guards, in particular, had a keen sense of smell, because he could clearly smell a strong metallic odor emanating from the man.
A girl might have this smell because of her period, but if a man smells so strongly of blood, what could it be if he's injured?
I tried to contact my superiors but couldn't reach them; I heard they're in a meeting.
The security guards didn't dare to call the police on their own, because if someone with malicious intent took a picture, it would definitely have a negative impact on the company, and they would all be punished for it.
The security guards used riot forks to signal the two to move away and not cause trouble at the entrance of the Huo Group headquarters.
The middle-aged man who had been pulling Jiang Jianrong earlier was now supporting him, looking honest and simple, and crying pitifully to passersby, crying in a very convincing way.
"Look at you! What an ungrateful wretch! If it weren't for a life at stake, who would be here saying this! Brother Jiang! I'm truly heartbroken for you, Brother Jiang!..."
As he spoke, the man pounded his chest and stamped his feet, looking as if he had suffered a great injustice and had no way to express his suffering.
Some well-meaning passersby, unaware of the situation, were successfully drawn to the scene and stopped to watch.
At this point, there were still two minutes left until six o'clock.
Six o'clock every day is the peak time for employees to leave work.
Besides the Huo family, several other large companies also have their headquarters in this area.
Jiang Qin frowned and glanced at her phone; she hadn't received a reply to the message she sent to Huo Sili.
If she weren't pregnant, she might have gone down to confront Jiang Jianrong and the man she didn't even know, revealing their true colors to passersby and clearing her name.
However, with her baby on the way, Jiang Qin had to keep her mind calm.
After all, if she got off the bus, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be harmed if she encountered those two people.
But if they can do such extortionate things, it would be too foolish to expect them to be kind.
Fortunately, the situation did not worsen and was stopped in time—red and blue lights flashed, and a police car arrived promptly.
The police got out of the car, and Jiang Qin then got out and quickly walked over.
At this moment, Jiang Qin felt incredibly fortunate that she had developed the habit of leaving a record of her actions since she started working.
She had recorded all the phone calls Wang Peilan made to her as evidence, and she also had screenshots of all the harassing text messages she received. Furthermore, several of the numbers she blacklisted were not virtual numbers. All of this proves that she was being extorted.
And the point is.
"Captain, this man seems to be a wanted criminal for economic crimes. I saw it on the intranet this morning."
The key point is, this person is too bold.
Upon entering the police station, the middle-aged man who had been brought in with him was immediately recognized by the officers.
Uncle Yang accompanied Jiang Qin inside to give her statement.
Before Jiang Qinren could even sit down, the police captain took a close look at the man next to Jiang Jianrong and identified him almost instantly.
Great! I've been searching high and low, but here it is, without any effort at all!
The moment the man received the silver handcuffs, he kicked Jiang Jianrong in a fit of rage, his mask of honesty shattering instantly.
When he tried to fight back, he was subdued by two police officers standing nearby.
After Jiang Qin finished giving her statement, Uncle Yang looked at the time and felt a mix of emotions.
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask.
"Madam, haven't you told the master about this? Perhaps you should..." tell him.
Before he could say anything, Uncle Yang realized he had been too talkative and stopped.
Beside her, Jiang Qin took out her phone and looked at it.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the chat window still displayed the original state of the message she had sent.
She swiped her finger up, but no new messages appeared.
I can't quite describe how I feel right now, but I'm probably a little disappointed.
After all, a full forty minutes have passed since the incident occurred.
A year ago, when they were deeply in love, he always replied to her messages instantly.
"I told him, but he hasn't replied yet. Let's go back to Yunhai Huafu."
After Jiang Qin finished speaking, she clutched her stomach. It was probably past lunchtime, and her stomach felt empty and a little painful.
After saying that, without waiting for Uncle Yang's reaction, he quickly went to the car, opened the door, and got in.
It was at this moment that Huo Sili, back in his office, turned on his phone and noticed a message on WeChat.
Upon seeing who sent the message and how long ago it was, Huo Sili's pupils contracted, and he quickly clicked on it.
He glanced at it quickly, his handsome face suddenly turning pale. He grabbed his car keys and strode away.
