From Sidekick to Bigshot

“Even if you avoid her right now, she will still learn about it later,” Superintendent Ruan told Jian Yichen quite clearly.

Jian Yiling was the adviser and forensic investigator of their team.

And thus, she had the right to know about this case. In fact, she was an important member of their investigation team.

Thereby, Jian Yichen had no choice but to obediently explain how he was severely beaten up by the kidnappers.

His brotherly image… Was completely lost.

After Superintendent Ruan left, Jian Yiling applied cream to the bruises and cuts on Jian Yichen’s body.

Amongst the brothers in the Jian family, Jian Yichen had a relatively small body frame.

This was especially the case if his body frame was compared to his brother’s. In contrast, Jian Yiheng was incredibly muscular and buff.

If the person that was kidnapped today was Jian Yiheng, then the kidnappers would definitely be in for a bad time.

Furthermore, Jian Yichen’s skin was fairer and more delicate than an average man’s. This made the wounds on his skin look more shocking.

“妹妹,疼,疼…轻点…”

“Sister… It hurts… Hurts… Gently…”

Jian Yiling was not gentle at all as she applied cream to Jian Yichen’s wounds.

This caused Jian Yichen to howl in pain.

However, Jian Yiling did not make a sound. She still continued to apply the cream in the same way.

So he knows the feeling of pain?

Then, why didn’t he plead for forgiveness when he was getting beaten up?

“Yiling~ I know what I did wrong… Don’t be upset~”

Jian Yichen begged Jian Yiling for forgiveness.

He was trying to win over her forgiveness.

“Do you dare to do this again?”

Jian Yiling was upset that Jian Yichen wasn’t taking care of his body.

The expression on Jian Yiling’s face was serious. Although her voice was soft, she was still very scary.

“Definitely not! I promise that this won’t happen again!” Jian Yichen replied hurriedly. He made sure to reassure Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling looked at him for a while. Then, she was much more gentle in applying the cream to his wounds.

Qin Yufan came over to see Jian Yichen.

She had much lighter injuries than Jian Yichen. As a result, she only had a brief checkup. As the doctor declared that she was okay, she left her ward to come and visit Jian Yichen.

As soon as she stopped at the door of Jian Yichen’s room, she saw Jian Yiling and Jian Yichen.

Both of them were smiling and chatting. It appeared as though they knew each other quite well.

Qin Yufan froze.

Weren’t they a bit too close? How well did they know each other?

Furthermore, the way that he looked at Jian Yiling… It was so soft and gentle…

And thus, Qin Yufan couldn’t help but think more about the situation.

As Qin Yufan stood at the door, she felt like turning around to leave.

However, on second thought, she felt that she should thank Jian Yichen again. She shouldn’t forget what he did for her just because she was unhappy.

And thus, she paused at the door for some time. Then, she decided to open the door and enter the ward.

“I’m here to thank you,” Qin Yufan said.

When she saw the injuries on Jian Yichen’s body, a stab of pain could be felt in her heart.

“You’re welcome,” Jian Yichen said with a smile on his face. However, his smile seemed quite out of place with the injuries scattered over his body.

“I will try my best to achieve what you want,” Qin Yufan said.

“Thank you,” Jian Yichen replied.

“I have one more question for you.”

“Please ask away.”

“If you want me to deal with Qin Chuan, you could have just let me misunderstand the situation. I assumed Qin Chuan kidnapped me. In that situation, I would naturally do my best to help you deal with Qin Chuan.”

“Heh,” Jian Yichen laughed. He paused before he spoke again: “Perhaps I don’t want to do things that way. Or perhaps, I don’t want you to be overwhelmed by revenge and hatred. In that situation, being in such a state makes it unlikely that you will win against him. Your mind will be tunneled on hatred.”

Qin Yufan was silent for a while. Then, her eyes lingered on Jian Yiling for a moment.

She wanted to ask Jian Yiling why she was here.

However, her pride did not allow her to do so. She did not want to probe too much into this matter.

After walking out of the room, Qin Yufan suddenly felt very angry.

However, she did not know why she was angry. Many things could have contributed to her anger.
