Chapter 1232: Stealing a Note

Xiao'an hurriedly poured a glass of water.

But at this moment, Liu Xin'ai took the opportunity to stuff a note into her hand!

Xiao'an felt a start in her heart.

Then she quietly glanced at her palm.

Upon looking, she discovered a line of text on the outside of the note: Please pass this to Jiang Baobao for me.

The next second, Xiao'an immediately closed her palm as if nothing had happened.

But her heart was pounding wildly!

Outside the room, there was a standoff.

Qin Yiyan hurried back at this very moment.

But he did not return alone; he also brought a lawyer.

The lawyer was very professional and immediately began citing various regulations.

Not only did he perfectly handle the police, but he also left Jiang Baobao speechless.

The more Jiang Baobao listened, the angrier she became.

She felt the other party was being unreasonable!

In her anger, Jiang Baobao did not intend to suppress her emotions; she actually started arguing with Qin Yiyan!

Afterwards, Li Beijue joined in.

And Bai Yufei would occasionally land a finishing blow.

Downstairs became completely chaotic.

Xiao'an, however, felt the timing was perfect!

She slipped out of the room amidst the chaos, ran out of the villa through the back door, and found the Li Family car parked at the entrance.

At this moment, the driver was looking at his phone inside.

Suddenly, he noticed a young woman panting as she pulled open the car door.

"You..."

Before the driver could finish speaking, Xiao'an placed the note on the back seat.

She instructed the driver: "I've left this note here; when Mrs. Li gets in later, please remind her!"

"But..."

Xiao'an was worried that if the delay lasted too long, she would be seen.

So, without waiting for the driver to finish, she snuck back inside.

The driver was very curious about what was written on the note.

But his professional ethics allowed him to suppress his curiosity.

After a while, Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue walked out of the Qin Family Villa with grim expressions.

But the difference was that Jiang Baobao was truly angry.

While Li Beijue was angry on Jiang Baobao's behalf.

Li Beijue helped Jiang Baobao open the car door and immediately saw the crumpled note on the seat.

This made him frown: "Why is there a piece of trash here?"

Upon hearing this, the driver hurriedly said: "That's not trash; a young woman ran over in a panic and specifically delivered it, and she even told me to remind the madam!"

Jiang Baobao's eyes shifted, and she picked up the crumpled note.

Then she sat inside the car, and once the door was closed, she asked hurriedly: "What kind of young woman was she?"

"She wasn't old, looked quite simple and honest, and had round eyes."

Hearing this description...

It seemed to be Xiao'an!

Jiang Baobao did not delay any longer and unfolded the note to read it.

The content inside was brief, and Jiang Baobao finished reading it quickly.

But those few words made Jiang Baobao's face even darker!

Li Beijue was curious and asked: "Who wrote that to you?"

"Judging by the handwriting, it's Xin'ai's!"

"Then what did she say?"

"Xin'ai said that Qin Yiyan... has controlled Liu Qingze!"

After saying this, Jiang Baobao sneered.

She thought to herself that this was the real reason Liu Xin'ai was willing to return!

This Qin Yiyan... is really not a decent person at all!!

Li Beijue also realized it instantly.

And he said: "Then as long as we find Liu Qingze, Qin Yiyan won't be able to control Liu Xin'ai anymore."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao immediately turned her head and stared fixedly at Li Beijue.

Looking at Jiang Baobao's hopeful eyes, Li Beijue understood her thoughts.

Raising his hand to stroke her hair, Li Beijue said gently: "I understand, leave this matter to me."

"We must find Liu Qingze as soon as possible! These Qin siblings are each more of a bastard than the other; with Xin'ai in their hands, she must be suffering greatly!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely do my best."

Li Beijue promised readily.

He also thought this matter was very simple.

But...

Two days later, Li Beijue listened to his subordinate's report, but his brows furrowed tightly.

"Liu Qingze has gone missing?"

The subordinate lowered his head and said with a lack of confidence, "Judging by all the clues, that is indeed the case."

This result made Li Beijue's expression gloomy, and he stated firmly, "It is impossible for there to be no trace at all!"

"But Liu Qingze went abroad for an inspection and never returned. Our people went to the local area and did not find any relevant information either."

Li Beijue knew what his subordinate's capabilities were.

If they were unable to find any news about Liu Qingze, it meant...

Was the person silenced?

As soon as this hypothesis emerged in his mind, it was denied by Li Beijue himself.

Even if Qin Yiyan were angry, he still had his reason and would not go so far as to kill them all.

But if the person was still alive, why was there no news at all?

Li Beijue clasped his hands together and placed them against his chin.

He fell into deep thought.

Then, at a certain moment, he caught a detail.

This detail made him look at his subordinate and ask, "But what if Liu Qingze never went abroad at all? Everything before might just be a smokescreen created by Qin Yiyan!"

The subordinate was stunned, then proceeded to sort through the matter...

"Understood, I will go and investigate again!"

With a new direction, the subordinate began a new operation.

As for Li Beijue...

He did not have only one method of investigation to deal with Qin Yiyan!

Tapping his fingers on the desktop, Li Beijue called a familiar business partner.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Li Beijue asked, "I heard that one of your company's real estate projects is looking for a partner?"

"Yes, it is."

"Then why not consider me!"

The other party hesitated for a moment before saying awkwardly, "This... to tell you the truth, we have already reached an intention of cooperation with the Qin Clan."

"An intention of cooperation? In other words, the contract hasn't been signed yet?"

"It has not."

Li Beijue smiled and said, "Since it is a verbal agreement, that means there is still an opportunity to choose. I have always admired your company's style of doing things, and our previous cooperation went very smoothly. To show my sincerity, I can even concede three percentage points of the profit in our cooperation!"

Li Beijue was indeed generous!

The other party immediately changed their attitude: "I wonder, when shall we discuss the details of the cooperation?"

"I will send someone over right now, let's sit down and talk."

"That's good, that's good, I'll prepare right away!"

The other party was beaming with joy.

Li Beijue was also in a good mood.

Afterwards, Li Beijue used similar methods to poach several of Qin Yiyan's resources.

Because the movements were too large, Qin Yiyan received the news very quickly.

He knew that Li Beijue was doing it on purpose.

He also knew what his goal was.

However...

Qin Yiyan would not back down at all!

As for the projects that were poached, Qin Yiyan did not let go easily.

He contacted the partners one by one and argued his case.

Because it was the partners who had taken the initiative to cancel the cooperation, they apologized sincerely.

Some, in order to maintain their relationship with the Qin Clan, even offered other cooperation opportunities.

Qin Yiyan carefully considered them.

If he felt the project was good, he would go with the flow and agree to it.

If it could not meet Qin Yiyan's required standards, he would decisively refuse.

He would then make the other party remember that they owed the Qin Clan a favor.

After communicating in this way, the losses of the Qin Clan were reduced to a minimum.
