From Sidekick to Bigshot

No one from the Qin family spoke up.

No one knew what to do.

They did not want to be blamed for the death of Qin Yufan.

Even if they called the police, Qin Yufan could still get killed. They did not know what the kidnappers planned to do.

Qin Chuan did not express his opinion regarding the matter.

However, this wasn’t because he didn’t want to say anything. But rather, in the eyes of the Qin family, Qin Chuan was considered to be the biggest suspect. Furthermore, he didn’t know how to save his cousin either.

Just when the Qin family was at a loss of what to do, a group of maintenance workers turned up at the door.

However, nothing needed to be repaired in the Qin family.

In addition, no one had called for maintenance workers.

After the maintenance workers entered the door, they exercised control over everyone in the Qin family.

Then, they turned on a device that would interfere with signal and communication.

Finally, they scanned the Qin family’s living room. This was to ensure that there were no wiretaps or surveillance cameras in the room.

The Qin family was rather confused. What was happening? Then, someone turned up to explain the situation to them.

“Someone called the police. Her brother went missing. Her brother was kidnapped along with Miss Yufan. And thus, please cooperate with us for this case.”

The person who spoke was Superintendent Ruan from the Special Criminal Investigation Division.

Qin Hongzhi took a moment to digest Superintendent Ruan’s words.

He was very grateful that Superintendent Ruan was here to help his daughter.

Then, Superintendent Ruan asked everyone in the Qin family to stay in the living room. They were not allowed to leave.

“Why? Why are you not going to find the kidnappers? Why are you restricting our movements instead?” Someone from the Qin family asked.

“Because you’re all suspects. As far as I know, Miss Yufan has always been protected by professional bodyguards. And thus, in order to kidnap her, the kidnappers must know her incredibly well. Therefore, each and every one of you is a suspect. If you want to clear your suspicions, please listen to me and cooperate with our investigation. Stay here and do not leave the living room. On top of this, do not try to make contact with anyone else.”

Superintendent Ruan’s words made everyone in the Qin family settle down.

No one wanted to be a suspect.

The door of the room that imprisoned Jian Yichen and Qin Yufan was opened.

At this time, Jian Yichen had put his shoes and chest pads back into place.

The people who entered the room looked well-trained. They did not appear to be ordinary individuals.

A few of them walked forward to grab Qin Yufan.

However, Jian Yichen decisively stepped in front of her.

Qin Yufan’s heart felt touched when she saw Jian Yichen protecting her.

However, she also knew that she had to stay alive to accomplish what Jian Yichen wanted. That was the reason why he was protecting her.

She was important to him. He needed her to deal with Qin Chuan.

“You’re looking for death!”

After trying to brush Jian Yichen off, one of the men ran out of patience. He kicked Jian Yichen in the stomach.

However, Jian Yichen did not flinch in pain. Instead, he asked: “Is that all you’ve got?”

When the man heard this, he turned around to face Jian Yichen. He completely gave up on his original target. Then, he slammed his fist into Jian Yichen’s face.

This caused blood to come out of the corner of Jian Yichen’s mouth.

“That doesn’t hurt at all. In fact, your punch doesn’t even tickle. You’re far worse than my brother,” Jian Yichen laughed.

Of course, the man did not plan to let Jian Yichen smile for long. He took out a blade.

“Let’s see how long you’re going to act tough for!”

The man’s movement shocked Qin Yufan.

“Just let them take me away. They don’t necessarily plan to do anything to me.”

Qin Yufan did not want anything to happen to Jian Yichen.

“Stay put,” Jian Yichen replied in a deep voice. He used a commanding tone as he said this.

The smile was still there on his lips. It was a lunatic-like smile.

Was he crazy? Why was he still smiling?!
