Chapter 645: Yan Qingsi, You Don’t Know How Heinous You Are
Grandma Su was still gazing behind her, wishing to look at Yan Qingsi again, but she had vanished from her sight. Even if Grandma Su wanted to follow her, she could not anymore.
Grandma Su sighed. “But she looks exactly like Peiwan when she was younger. They look completely identical.”
“Even if there’s nothing wrong with your eyes, it can’t be her. The woman merely looks like her. Besides, their age is so far apart— how can she be her? You haven’t seen her in a while— I think you just miss her too much.”
“Maybe… urgh, but she really looks like her…”
“Ah, that’s enough. Don’t overthink it. It’s none of your business anyway…”
…
Yan Qingsi entered the car and instructed Lil Xu. “Let’s go.”
Ji Mingming asked, “Sis, are we going straight to the set?”
Yan Qingsi shook her head. “No, we’re going to the detention center first.”
Both Ji Mianmian and Lil Xu were taken by surprise.
Lil Xu had been by Yan Qingsi’s side for a long time— she knew Yan Qingsi must have business to take care of. Thus, she drove off silently.
Yan Qingsi produced a piece of paper from her bag, which had Su Zhen’s number that Mrs. Yue wrote down for her.
Yan Qingsi pinched the paper for a while, then finally took out her phone and dialed the number.
“Hello, this is Su Zhen.” Su Zhen’s stony voice sounded on the phone.
“It’s me, Yan Qingsi. Auntie Yue told me that if I needed help, I can turn to you. I have a favor to ask.”
It was silent for a few seconds. “Tell me what it is.”
Yan Qingsi knew that Su Zhen would not agree to help her just like that— he wanted some context before deciding to provide his aid or not.
“I wish to see Yan Mingzhu.”
Without hesitation, Su Zhen refused. “You can’t.”
Previously, Yan Qingsi dared to poison her in the police station. After that incident, there was no way he would let Yan Qingsi see Yan Mingzhu.
Yan Qingsi knew Su Zhen’s concern fully well. “I won’t lay a finger on her. The truth is, it’s not me who wants to see her— it’s her ex-boyfriend. Don’t you want to hear the truth from Yan Mingzhu’s own mouth? The reveal of the mastermind? If there’s anyone in the world who can make Yan Mingzhu spit it out, it’ll be her ex,” Yan Qingsi added.
Su Zhen tapped his fingers on a table. “How do I know you’re not lying to me?”
Yan Qingsi replied, “I won’t go in, but I don’t think you’re one to let go of this golden opportunity.”
Su Zhen paused and hesitated for a while. “Fine. When will…”
“Right now.”
“Fine. I’ll make a call to the detention center.”
“Thank you.”
After hanging up, Yan Qingsi let out a sigh of relief. She knew that the Su family did not like her. This phone call placed her under a lot of pressure. Nevertheless, she had to do it. Yan Mingzhu held a unique status— under normal circumstances, she would have been sent to a mental hospital.
Su Zhen was the one protecting her from that. Su Zhen himself was under a lot of pressure too— his actions violated the laws.
Therefore, Su Zhen yearned to know who the puppeteer behind Yan Mingzhu was, more than anyone in the world.
He would not let go of this opportunity.
However, Yan Qingsi now owed him another favor.
Upon reaching the detention center, Yan Qingsi saw Luo Jinchuan. It was a gloomy day. Dressed in casual clothes, he was leaning against his car door with a cigarette between his fingers.
It had been quite a while since Yan Qingsi last saw Luo Jinchuan. Compared to before… he had changed a lot— like the sky, he appeared a lot greyer.
Yan Qingsi opened the car door and stepped out. Striding in front of Luo Jinchuan, she announced, “I can’t go in with you— I made a promise. This time… I’ll have to trouble you.”
Luo Jinchuan spat out a cloud of smoke. He snickered and scoffed. “Yan Qingsi, you don’t know how heinous you are…”
