Ye Lixun’s heart palpitated at Li Tingshen’s terrifying gaze.
She recalled everything he had just said.
The words “don’t provoke me” made one worried.
Ye Qingqiu had never thought about the consequences of Li Tingshen’s words.
She didn’t know where her confidence came from, but she knew that Li Tingshen wouldn’t kill her if she insisted on leaving.
There was nothing more despairing and painful than death, she thought.
But she was wrong again.
Ye Lixun had communicated with the doctor just now. She could visit him again.
Perhaps because she had someone to rely on, Ye Qingqiu felt much more relaxed.
Although she had half an hour to visit her, she didn’t stay for more than thirty minutes.
Even though he was her brother, she couldn’t stand there and chat with him for thirty minutes.
She would never spend time on such meaningless things.
About ten minutes later, she glanced at the girl sitting by the bed, holding her father’s hand. She looked calm and sad as she begged.
He raised his hand and stroked her hair gently. “Stay here and accompany your father. I’ll go back to visit Old Master.”
Ye Qingqiu nodded lightly. “Then I’ll go back to visit Grandpa later.”
“Okay, don’t worry too much. Old Master’s mentality is much better than your father’s.”
What had he not experienced in his life?
Ye Qingqiu looked up at her and opened her mouth, but in the end, she only snorted.
Ye Lixun took a deep breath and stuffed her hands into her pockets. “Forget it, I’ll wait for you to go back.”
Only then did Ye Qingqiu relax.
After her aunt left, she didn’t know what Li Tingshen was going to do next.
She didn’t know what to do with the two men in black suits beside him.
However, when they came out of the ICU, two people in police uniforms happened to be standing in front of them.
Her gaze swept across the document in her hand before landing on Ye Qingqiu’s face.
“Are you Miss Ye Qingqiu?”
When Ye Qingqiu saw their uniforms, she panicked and subconsciously took half a step back.
The two police officers took in her actions and exchanged glances.
“Miss Ye, someone has called the police to accuse you of deliberately injuring someone with a knife. Please return to the police station with us and cooperate with our investigation.”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flickered as she thought of Lian Lili.
Under such circumstances, anyone would suspect that she had hurt Lian Lili.
She shook her head. “I didn’t. She went crazy herself…”
“We’re only asking you to cooperate with our investigation. Please follow us to the police station first.”
The leading police officer interrupted her. It seemed that he wanted to take her away.
She had to cooperate with the investigation again.
Previously, it was the Bureau of Justice. Now, it was the police station.
Ye Qingqiu suddenly had a strange feeling. She shouldn’t have done anything wrong, but she had the illusion that she was doomed.
After listening, Ye Lixun reached out to separate Ye Qingqiu from the two police officers.
“Wait a minute, please make things clear here. Do you want to take her away to cooperate with your investigation, or use this sentence as a cover to lock her up at the police station?”
The two men in police uniforms frowned solemnly.
“Madam, please pay attention to your words and respect our work.”
Ye Lixun sneered, “Did I insult you in any way? Civil servants nowadays are so arrogant and fragile. Can’t I even ask a question?”
The leading police officer said with a solemn expression, “Make a statement, investigate, and collect evidence. After confirming that it has nothing to do with her, we naturally won’t keep her.”
Ye Lixun nodded and smiled sarcastically. “So before the investigation is done, you’re going to keep her locked up?”
The officer’s frown deepened. “She’s a suspect.”
“What if I don’t let you take her away?”
“Obstruction of official duties will result in imprisonment of less than three years, criminal detention, control, or a fine.”
Ye Lixun narrowed her eyes.
Ye Qingqiu blinked and pulled Ye Lixun to the side.
Then, she stood in front of the two of them and asked another question.
“I want to ask, who called the police?”
The two of them greeted without hesitation, “Mr Li.”
Ye Qingqiu’s pupils constricted instantly, as if she had been struck by lightning. From the beginning to the end, she felt suffocated and numb.
So this was why he said not to provoke her?
Behind her, Ye Lixun’s breathing suddenly deepened.
Men could really do anything when they were ruthless.
After a long while, Ye Qingqiu nodded slowly.
She stood rooted to the ground, her gaze fixed somewhere. No one knew what she was thinking.
About ten seconds later, her calm voice sounded.
“Aunt.”
Ye Lixun said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, I won’t let them take you away. I’ll go find him now!”
“You said…” Ye Qingqiu didn’t seem to hear Ye Lixun and continued speaking.
Ye Lixun’s gaze landed on the side of her face. It was quiet and calm, and there seemed to be a faint smile on her lips.
“Do you think he loves me?”
Now that Brother Ye Ze had left, she could conclude that Li Tingshen had sent him away. He probably didn’t want to divorce her.
In Liang Xuer’s ward, she asked Lian Lili if Li Tingshen loved her. Even she felt that Lian Lili had gone crazy.
Just now, he didn’t want her to leave with her aunt no matter what. There was also a bruise on her wrist from his grip. She felt that it was the same.
She had asked him directly before, but he had never answered her, let alone admitted it.
So she wasn’t sure.
The last thing that appeared in Ye Lixun’s mind was Li Tingshen’s gaze.
She still couldn’t understand that gaze. It seemed to be a place where the Grim Reaper had lived.
It was like a night without light and life. Or rather, it was like a night that had just lost light and life and gradually darkened.
She had just lost her light and life…
For some reason, she was more inclined to this analogy.
“… Love it.”
Some people’s love was abnormal.
This answer made Ye Qingqiu smile.
“You think so too?”
Ye Lixun didn’t know what this young girl was thinking.
“Qingqiu, there’s no point in considering this now.”
Ye Qingqiu retracted her smile and nodded lightly.
“Auntie, you’ve just returned. You have to arrange for Daddy to leave and visit Grandpa. Try not to cause unnecessary trouble. I’ll go with them.”
Her aunt had just returned and she felt that she had someone to rely on.
The Ye family could no longer afford any trouble.
Therefore, she could only follow them.
