From Sidekick to Bigshot

“Where are my mother and sister?” Qin Chuan asked someone from the Major Crimes Unit.

“Mr. Qin, please rest assured. Your mother and sister have already been rescued. They’re very safe. Currently, they’re in the hospital for an examination.”

Superintendent Ruan was the person who replied.

In reality, the Major Crimes Unit and the Special Crimes Investigation Division had not done much. They merely went to pick up Qin Yufan and Zhang Manzhu from the Goodman Residence. The Goodman family had already released the two of them.

However, Superintendent Ruan did not mention the reason behind this. Someone explained that they did not need to pursue those things.

“Thank you,” Qin Chuan replied.

“Mr. Qin, you do not need to be so polite. This is our responsibility. Later, we will go to the hospital to ask for an oral statement. I hope that Mr. Qin and your family members will be able to cooperate with us then.”

“Understood.”

Then, Qin Chuan turned his head to look at Jian Yiling.

For some reason, he felt that all of this had something to do with Jian Yiling.

“Well, since your family members are alright, you should go and visit them. My family is doing incredibly well. Mr. Qin does not need to worry,” Zhai Yunsheng said. He sounded a bit impatient.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan withdrew his gaze and walked away.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng said to Mr. Hall, “Mr. Hall, let’s continue our conversation in another place.”

“Alright,” Mr. Hall replied with a light smile on his face.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng, Mr. Hall, and Jian Yiling left the ball together.

This meant that the only people remaining were the other individuals attending the ball today.

As the hosts had been taken away by the Major Crimes Unit, the ball naturally ended here.

However, everyone had not fully recovered from what had just happened.

Was this over then?

Was Jian Yiling not the murderer? This meant that the Zhai family and the Qin family no longer had to fight, right?

The Goodman family’s intentions were so evil!

Before they entered the Beijing markets, they wanted the existing families to be at each other’s throats! What a vicious move!

In the hospital, Qin Chuan saw his mother and sister.

The two of them were somewhat malnourished but otherwise uninjured.

As the Goodman family had to send videos to Qin Chuan regularly, they hadn’t treated Qin Yufan and Qin Chuan’s mother harshly.

“Thank you brother,” Qin Yufan said. Her eyes were red as she stubbornly did not let her tears fall out.

This was the first time Qin Yufan called Qin Chuan ‘brother’.

This incident brought change to the Qin family. They both lost their father and the entire Qin family was nearly destroyed by the Goodman family.

As the deceased had already left this world, those left behind had to live well.

In terms of bloodline, Qin Chuan was the closest person to her.

“What did you call me?”

“During the time I spent with your mother, together, we talked about a lot of things. I realized that your mother did not know that she would be abandoned by my father. After I heard about this, I understood a lot of things. Now that my father is gone, you’re the person closest to me.”

“You’re also my sister,” Qin Chuan said. Similarly, he had also accepted Qin Yufan.

“Brother, are you in a bad mood?”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to show these negative emotions to you.”

“Is it because of… Yiling?” Qin Yufan guessed.

Qin Chuan became silent.

When she was faced with this silence, Qin Yufan knew that she had guessed correctly.

“Brother, Yiling is not someone who can’t distinguish between right and wrong. She knew that you were suffering when you did those things to her.”

“But in the end, I still hurt her.”

“Brother, please don’t be like this. Yiling won’t blame you for your actions. You had no other choice.”

At this moment, Qin Yufan realized the extent of Qin Chuan’s feelings for Jian Yiling.
