Chapter 486 Qi Xuan Is Captured
Zi Yisheng recounted all the information he had investigated, and there was silence on the other end of the line. After a long pause, Ye Dad sighed.
"With Old Qi's death, no one can control Qi Xuan anymore. She's still fixated on Shang Shaoyan. This matter should be handled as it should be, and it must be a decisive blow, so she won't have another chance to cause trouble."
"I was just worried that Dad would be upset, after all, Qi Xuan is the only descendant of Qi Luquan."
"Hmph, you boy, don't try to test my words. Qi Luquan was no saint, and there's no need to preserve his descendants."
Zi Yisheng chuckled on the phone. He didn't have to make this call, but he missed his father-in-law.
"How is Shenger? Is she still busy at the pharmaceutical factory every day?"
"Yes, she goes after dropping off the children every day. Her schedule is quite full."
"Hmph, full, isn't it because you don't have time to manage the household and the children?"
"Yes, it's all my fault for not taking good care of them."
"How tall is Mi'er now? Send me another photo sometime. I wonder if that little girl still remembers me as her grandfather."
Zi Yisheng rubbed his nose. Could he say he didn't know how tall Mi'er was?
"Alright, I'll have Shenger take the children to take pictures tomorrow, and you'll receive them in a few days."
"By the way, did you deliberately hold back my transfer application, or I wouldn't have been approved three times?"
"That's a false accusation. Am I that kind of person? It's mainly that the higher-ups believe you can better defend that territory there, so they won't transfer you back for the time being."
"What? Am I going to live here my whole life? I don't care, I want to go back, I want to see my wife and children, or I'll apply for retirement!"
Ye Dad genuinely wanted to spend time with his family, but it sounded as if the enemy would invade if he left.
"Dad, you don't seem to be of retirement age yet. How about holding on a little longer!"
"Hold on to what? I can still contribute wherever I am in Mingcheng. Or transfer me to a place closer to Mingcheng, at least so I can see Shenger and the others once a week."
Zi Yisheng remained silent. He was still considering if he should get him transferred closer. His wife had been in a bad mood these past few days, and maybe this would earn him a better reaction.
"Why are you silent, boy? Don't think I don't know you're behind this. Don't push me too far. If you don't let me see my wife and children, I'll make sure you can't see yours either."
"Dad, it's really not me causing trouble. How about I apply to have you transferred closer? After all, we have to take things one step at a time."
"Bah, do you think this is chess, taking things one step at a time? I see through you now. Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. I'll contact Shenger tomorrow to chat. I really miss her."
*Slap*, the phone hung up. Zi Yisheng stroked his chin and, after much deliberation, sat down to write a transfer application. He wanted to get things done before his father-in-law did, otherwise, his wife might really run away from home.
"A Can, come in."
A Can, who was delivering messages, was eating supper made by Aunt Zhen downstairs. Hearing the sound, he quickly put down his chopsticks and ran up.
"Young Master Zi."
"Arrest Qi Xuan tonight. As for that man and Wen Gu, catch them red-handed. Make sure to interrogate them to find out about the organization behind him. If necessary, you can ask the Madam for some medicine."
"Yes."
In fact, they could directly use the "Truth Serum" made by his wife, but because this medicine had not been approved by the higher-ups, they were afraid that if it was accidentally leaked, it would harm their own people or even reveal state secrets, so they strictly prohibited "Truth Serum" from reappearing.
However, Zi Yisheng could still use it privately, and the medicine was hidden by his wife, so there would be no problem of losing any drugs.
Ye Shenger had been waiting for Zi Yisheng to return to the room, and when she received the final answer, there was disappointment.
"Is Qi Xuan targeting me?"
"No, she wanted to kill me. She even instructed that I shouldn't harm you today."
"What are you going to do?"
"Arrest her tonight, which is also sparing her a death sentence. Otherwise, the charge of attempting to kill me would be too serious."
"What will happen if you arrest her now?"
"Jail, possibly never to be released."
Ye Shenger nodded. That was good. Since she couldn't change her ways, she should put her excess energy into working in prison.
"What about Wen Gu?"
"We'll arrest Wen Gu when his accomplices make a move. They should have quite a few accomplices. This time, we'll catch them all in one net. You shouldn't go to the pharmaceutical factory for the next few days. After this is handled, you'll accompany me to another city."
Ye Shenger nodded. How could she not go to the pharmaceutical factory? The research and development of the new drug were real, and she had to make sure everyone in the laboratory understood before she left.
After the people left, Qi Xuan lay in bed thinking about Shang Shaoyan. No one knew the despair she felt when she learned of Shang Shaoyan's whereabouts after her grandfather's death and her struggle to get to the mainland.
She truly had no one in this world she wanted to see anymore. She had even spent a lot of money trying to find out where Shang Shaoyan was buried but got no answer.
So, she had to ask Zi Yisheng. But when she arrived on the mainland, she realized the height Zi Yisheng had reached, and she couldn't even see him.
Actually, Qi Xuan also wanted to ask Ye Shenger, but every time she saw Ye Shenger happily with her two children, she couldn't control her jealousy.
If someone hadn't stopped her when she drugged Shang Shaoyan, she would have married the man she loved long ago, and even had more children than Ye Shenger.
Wouldn't everything have changed? Her grandfather wouldn't have died so early, and her life wouldn't have ended this way.
Just as Qi Xuan's mind was in turmoil, the door was suddenly kicked open. She quickly put on her coat, and before she could get out of bed, she was pinned down.
"Who are you?"
Then Qi Xuan's mouth was gagged and she was taken away. The only sound they made was the breaking of the bedroom door. The group left silently.
Qi Xuan was locked in a windowless room and never saw anyone again. Her heart was filled with anxiety, not knowing who had captured her.
But her greatest fear was Zi Yisheng. If she was caught by Zi Yisheng, she could foresee that she would never have a chance for revenge, and could not even take one last look at the man she loved most.
Qi Xuan forced herself to calm down. What if it was someone else? She still had some bargaining chips because she was rich.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Qi Xuan saw A Can walk in, and her hope was instantly dashed. She had unknowingly been discovered by Zi Yisheng.
"How did you find me?"
A Can grabbed a chair and sat opposite Qi Xuan, looking at the woman in front of him as if she were a stranger.
"The people you hired were too stupid. They were discovered by Madam the first time they made a move."
"Madam? Ye Shenger! Heh heh, they're already calling her Madam. My life has been unlucky since I met Ye Shenger. Nothing I want can be achieved, yet she has become a Madam who everyone cherishes."
