Qin Qin looked at the two of them with slightly furrowed brows, wondering why Lu Xuezhen seemed to be avoiding Zhao Han’s gaze. In fact, she had noticed some vague flirtation between the two of them a while ago and was happy to see it happen. Lu Xuezhen was a good woman, and Zhao Han was a good man too. She believed that if Zhao Han and Lu Xuezhen got together, he would surely treat her well. However, Qin Qin had recently noticed that Lu Xuezhen was constantly avoiding Zhao Han’s eyes.
This was not a good sign.
"Qin Qin, we’ve brought them back," Zhao Han spoke quickly, with Pingzi and a group of people it took them only a moment to catch these individuals.
Pingzi and Pan Hu threw the captured people into the hall, their faces showing panic and fear. At first, they didn’t understand why they had been taken to the Qin Chamber of Commerce, but now, realizing it was related to the woman they had been chasing, they came to understand—yet they hadn’t expected this woman to have anything to do with the Qin Chamber of Commerce.
"It’s none of our business, some woman called us, we don’t know anything," they said.
"Please let us go, we really didn’t know, we are willing to return the money," said the muscular leader and the few thugs behind him, fearfully.
Qin Qin slowly approached them, "Let you go? Have you ever considered letting her go? Tell me, how did you go about trying to kill her? I want a full confession."
"Yes, yes, we will confess," the muscular man and the others thought they would be released after confessing, daring not to hide anything.
Before Qin Qin could react, Zhao Han, who was to the side, lifted his head with heartache as he looked at Lu Xuezhen’s injured body, his fists clenched, wishing he could punch these men right then and there.
Qin Qin could feel the anger radiating off Zhao Han, "Brother Han, these men are yours to deal with. Whatever they did to Sister Xuezhen, repay them double."
Did they think she would let them go? Could they be more wrong?
Zhao Han understood Qin Qin’s intentions and had the group taken away.
"No, weren’t you going to let us go?" they plea.
"We were wrong, we were wrong, we didn’t know she was from the Qin Chamber of Commerce," they regretted.
The muscular leader tried to beg for mercy but received a swift kick in the stomach from Zhao Han, leaving him in too much pain to speak, and he was taken away by the people from the Qin Chamber of Commerce.
After everything was settled, Qin Qin drove Lu Xuezhen away.
At the doorstep of the villa, Qin Qin called out to Lu Xuezhen, "Sister Xuezhen."
Lu Xuezhen stopped and looked at Qin Qin, "What is it?"
"What do you think about Brother Han?"
Lu Xuezhen was startled, feeling a bit panicked inside. She hadn’t expected Qin Qin to notice.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We’re just friends," Lu Xuezhen said evasively, and then she walked into the villa, seemingly unwilling to say more.
Qin Qin stood on the stairs and sighed softly. It was not her place to interfere in their affairs; they had to resolve things themselves.
Her gaze turned to the distant night sky, studded with stars, her beautiful eyes deep and boundless like water.
Jing Zhimei, we will meet very soon.
As August quietly arrived, in late August, Qin Qin prepared to head to Jingdu City. She originally wanted Qin An and Lee Fong to join her, but both were accustomed to life here and didn’t want to leave, so she decided not to force Qin An.
Gan Tiantian also passed the exams to attend Beijing University in Jingdu City. Initially, Father Gan and Madam Gan were reluctant to let their daughter be so far from them, but after Gan Tiantian coaxed them and said Qin Qin would take care of her, they agreed. They asked Qin Qin to look after Gan Tiantian when leaving Chuandu City, and Qin Qin assured them not to worry.
Qin Qin bought a duplex apartment not far from Beijing University in Jingdu City, over two hundred square meters, where she, Lu Xuezhen, and Gan Tiantian would live.
Qin Qin didn’t tell Mo Yunchen about moving to Jingdu City because she wanted to surprise him. Lately, Mo Yunchen was even busier than before, and she didn’t want to disturb him or let him be distracted by her.
Zhao Han and Guo Kui had already expanded the Qin Chamber of Commerce to Jingdu City, establishing a security company fully staffed by their own people, and the headquarters of the Heavenly Medicine Group was set near Mo’s, as per Mo Yunchen’s only request. He hoped her company would be close to his, and even the location was found by Mo Tang. She didn’t want to be high-profile for the time being, and the Heavenly Medicine Group was not yet large.
Top-Grade Heavenly Fragrance had already opened two or three branches in Jingdu City, and the business was booming. Now, Top-Grade Heavenly Fragrance was spread out over several floors; the first and second floors served as a restaurant exclusively selling Spirit Vegetables and Spirit Meat—an idea Qin Qin had after taking over a farm. The third and fourth floors were a tea garden, and now only those with a Top-Grade Heavenly Fragrance card or those who had spent a certain sum of money to obtain a Silver Card could enter.
