The mystery woman quickly gave a decisive response, "No, you think people's hearts are that easy to probe? There's too little residual power left, probing deeper things is extremely limited!"

Although Qin Qi felt a bit disheartened, he knew this couldn't be rushed.

Husband...

He rubbed his temples, and his mind was also deep in thought.

Even though he couldn't figure it out, he didn't worry.

He was clear, as long as Lin Jie didn't make a fuss about this, he still had plenty of opportunities!

Just like that, as he pondered, he fell into a deep sleep.

Soon, the next day.

Qin Qi and Bai Ying'er went to school together.

On the way, Bai Ying'er stuck to him as usual.

Qin Qi responded on the surface, but internally, he was anxious. Because he knew, tonight's events would decide the fate of him and Bai Ying'er.

And so, they arrived at school.

On ordinary days, a single day didn't seem long.

But today, this day was especially torturous for him.

Finally, the time for dismissal arrived.

He found an excuse, letting Bai Ying'er go home first.

Then, he hid the wrench he brought from home in his sleeve.

Immediately after, he dialed Tang Xueli's number.

Tang Xueli was eating something, and when she answered the call, she asked puzzled, "What's up, missing me? Didn't you tell me not to come to my place these days to avoid being seen by my mom?"

"I need a favor!" Qin Qi said seriously.

Tang Xueli noticed Qin Qi's serious tone and asked, confused, "Qin Qi, what's going on?"

Qin Qi roughly explained the situation and told her about his plan.

Tang Xueli took a sharp breath, "Hey, Qin Qi, are you planning to clash head-on with Han Siqi? That's no good, you're taking too big a risk."

"There's no better way right now." Qin Qi shook his head, "If we delay further, when they take action, what will happen to my sister? What about my mom?"

He absolutely wouldn't doubt a family once involved with underground forces could do anything shady.

Tang Xueli frowned, "Have you considered the consequences of doing this? I absolutely disagree. I'll beg my mom, ask her to help think of a solution!"

Qin Qi heard Tang Xueli's anxious tone, even going so far as to involve her mom.

He was silently moved.

But he knew.

Given his current relationship with Jiang Lin, it'd be a miracle if Jiang Lin didn't sabotage him, let alone agree with Tang Xueli to help him.

He spoke with a solemn tone, "No need, I've already planned it. Next, if I haven't contacted you in two hours, remember to report to the police for me!"

This was the only contingency he could think of, perhaps it could salvage the situation in the worst case.

After saying this, he didn't wait for Tang Xueli's response and hung up the phone immediately.

"Hey!"

On the other end, Tang Xueli was frantic, dialing the phone crazily.

Meanwhile, Qin Qi was already in the car, heading to Yulin Hotel where Han Siqi told him to go yesterday.

As Han Siqi said.

Upon arriving at the hotel, he saw a man in a black suit greet him proactively, politely saying, "You must be Mr. Qin!"

Qin Qi nodded in response.

The man in the suit gestured invitingly with his sleeve, "Please, Mr. Qin, my lady is waiting for you upstairs!"

Qin Qi nodded.

There weren't many people inside Yulin Hotel, just a few dressed similarly to the man in the suit.

It wasn't hard to deduce that Yulin Hotel was also one of Han Family's properties.

Today, the Han Family had cleared the place.

Soon, they took the elevator and arrived at the 13th floor.

Here, there was only one executive suite.

At the suite door, two men looking like bodyguards were responsible for opening the door.

Once inside, Qin Qi indeed saw Han Siqi, sitting there. Beside her stood a row of security personnel.

The knife, just among them.

Qin Qi was ushered in.

Han Siqi displayed indifference, her expression calm.

She raised her head, glancing lightly at Qin Qi. There was the contempt, the disregard, and the disdain an upper-class person shows towards a subordinate.

"Sit!" Han Siqi spoke with elegance.

Qin Qi sized her up.

There's no denying that Han Siqi was indeed beautiful, a typical lady of grace. Especially today, wearing a black cape, long black boots, and flesh-colored stockings, she had a striking presence.

With a thud, the bodyguard outside slammed the door shut.

Before Qin Qi could speak, Han Siqi straightforwardly opened her flaming red lips and said, "Enough, I don't like wasting time, now that you're here, let's get straight to the point."

"What's your condition? I don't mind if you aim high, but I also hope you retain some sense."

"After all, I don't like people extorting me!"

Qin Qi glanced at Han Siqi's disdainful expression and knew, in her eyes, he was nothing but a simpleton!

Nothing more than someone who could be dismissed with money.

Suppressing his anger, he said coldly, "My demands aren't high either, just one word, ten million, not a penny less. Once the money arrives, I guarantee my sister can recant in court!"

Han Siqi laughed with a snort.

In her laugh was a chilling mocking tone, "Ten million, you sure dare to ask, you poor folks always like making demands beyond your imagination once you find an opportunity."

"As if only this way, you could fill your inner ignorance and insignificance. I should have just told you, I don't like people extorting me!"

Qin Qi replied coldly, "And if I insist on ten million?"

Han Siqi squinted, sneering, "Do you really think besides your sister recanting, I have no other way to get my brother out?"

"For instance, your mother disappearing, or perhaps you vanishing... people evaporating without a trace is quite common, right!"

"By then, what could your sister do?"

Qin Qi looked at Han Siqi's contemptuous gaze, and her cold tone, the anger in his heart already ablaze.

Yet, he forcibly suppressed his anger, squeezing out a smile, "I was just joking earlier, how about this, three hundred thousand..."

Han Siqi sneered, more disdain in her eyes, as if she had already anticipated Qin Qi saying that.

That sense of certainty, as if everything was within her grasp.

She spoke in a condescending tone, "How about this, I won't take advantage of you. Fifty thousand, Knife, give him a card, deposit fifty thousand later!"

Qin Qi gritted his teeth.

This is the power of authority.

Clearly an insult, in her eyes, giving this twenty thousand extra seemed like an act of great mercy.

However, he wanted to see how long this woman could keep laughing.

Seeing Knife was already approaching him.

Qin Qi grabbed the wrench he'd hidden in his sleeve!
