Chapter 155: Airport Escape

She had kept her eyes closed ever since using the Puppet Card. Even after Feng Yuanyuan fainted, she remained motionless, leaning against the sofa.

Su Yu groggily opened her eyes. 【Wulongcha, didn't you say I'd be fine?】

Wulongcha bobbed up and down. 【That's right, you just overused your mental power and need rest. A good sleep and you'll be fine.】

【Will I really be fine after just one sleep?】

【Yes, it's your first time using it, so you're not used to it. This isn't a world with an interstellar mental power system, otherwise you could just drink a vial of potion and recover completely!】

Su Yu carefully felt it out — it was indeed similar to when she was simply sleepy, except right now she was so drowsy she could pass out the very next second!

【Fine, sleeping it is. Can I Draw card and get a mental power potion?】

【No.】

Su Yu looked up. "I'm sleepy!"

【Wulongcha, I'm going to sleep. Go find out where that guy stashed the money.】

【Got it!】

With that, Su Yu closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Su Xi picked up Su Yu. "Don't sleep on the sofa, you'll easily catch a cold."

Su Yu's eyes didn't move at all, her breathing steady, as she let Su Xi carry her to the rest room.

Su Xi had just settled Su Yu in and hadn't yet had time to think about the sandstorm when she received a message from Ye Shu.

Ye Shu: Good thing you didn't let me send it. Ji Xiaoling actually made a scene threatening to jump off a building! That hospital must have been cursed with eight lifetimes of bad luck to get a patient like her!

Su Xi set the phone down and let the messages keep popping up.

"General Manager Su, the Yin family seems to be preparing to take a flight and leave the country."

Qin Tao received word that the Yin family members were heading to the airport in batches.

"We found that the Yin family's second son took the youngest son and a large quantity of items, driving to a certain location. Our people lost them."

The Yin family's power holder and designated heir were rushing to the airport quickly, while the second son and youngest son hadn't appeared. The people assigned to tail them assumed those two had been abandoned, so they focused on the former.

"Find a way to leak the information to nearby plainclothes officers."

"Got it!"

Qin Tao left. Su Xi picked up the now-silent phone and read the messages Ye Shu had sent.

To summarize, there were three points. First, Ji Xiaoling threatened her family that she would jump off a building but didn't actually jump — instead, she went to inspect the rescue air cushion she had the medical staff prepare. Second, the hospital's medical staff likely harbored resentment toward Ji Xiaoling because she took her anger out on them. Third, Yin Wei and Xie Shouyun had people tailing Yin Bowen. Yin Wei knew the Yin family had a partnership with the Lin family, and there was a covert route for smuggling out of the country.

Su Xi: Go contact the hospital staff. First, gather evidence of Ji Xiaoling harming them, then release it later!

Meng Xianle: Got it, Boss!

Meng Xianle breathed a sigh of relief. "With something this big happening with the Yin family, the Boss didn't give us any tasks. Special Assistant Qin was running around in circles with nothing for us to do — I thought we were going to be unemployed. Finally, some work!"

The underling glanced at the boss.

"If you have something to say, spit it out. If you have gas, let it go!"

What kind of look was that cowering appearance?

"That won't do, you have to hit me!"

The underling, who had been chased and beaten several times, felt the boss was baiting him — probably tricking him into talking so she'd have an excuse to hit him and vent her frustration.

"I won't hit you, hurry up and talk!"

The underling stood up. "You want to take on the Yin family job, but you didn't even check whether we have the ability for it!"

The underling bolted as soon as he finished speaking. The others in the office heard him yelling as he ran, "I'm taking the day off!"

The boss who claimed she didn't hit people gritted her teeth. "Remember to dock his leave! What are you all staring at me for? Will staring at me get us new cases?"

If you can't get cases, think about your own problems! We have so much fitness equipment in the company — put it to use! Go take those free detective courses and learn something. Whether your salary goes up depends on how hard you work!"

Meng Xianle assigned the tasks, then headed to the company gym to work hard himself!

The underling's words were harsh, but made some sense. He was determined to build a united Investigation Agency with branches all across the country — he had to work hard and figure something out! How could he conceal his identity? How could he reasonably avoid retaliation from those people?

……

At the airport, Yin Boyan looked at the people around him, anxiously refreshing his phone over and over. Right now he both wanted to receive news and didn't want to receive news — he was completely torn!

Looking anxious, he glanced at his father and mother resting with closed eyes, then at his wife who looked as if she were going on vacation, and forced himself to calm down.

"Boarding now!"

The moment the broadcast sounded, Yin Boyan gripped his phone tight, picked up his luggage, and headed to board. But he saw police approaching them in an encirclement formation in the distance. Looking again at the three who remained perfectly calm, his heart filled with despair!

Why was it him?

Why were the ones who could leave his second brother and third brother?

"Please come with us!"

Yin Boyan gritted his teeth and charged forward!

It didn't matter if his parents had enjoyed enough, and his pregnant wife wasn't afraid — but he was afraid! Was his life, which he had barely begun to enjoy, going to end just like that?

Why him?

Why!

Yin Boyan rushed to the boarding gate but was stopped by staff.

"I have a ticket, let me through!"

Yin Boyan waved the ticket in his hand and even tried to shove money into the staff member's hands. The staff member recoiled several steps in fright and grabbed an anti-riot fork to pin him.

Yin Boyan twisted his body trying to escape. The police who rushed over quickly grabbed his hands. "Mr. Yin Boyan, please cooperate with our investigation!"

"No, you can't restrict my freedom, I want to leave! I'm a citizen!"

Yin Boyan watched himself getting farther and farther from the boarding gate, as if he were getting farther and farther from the light.

"How old are you? Have you no shame?"

Yin Boyan looked at his father scolding him as usual, trembled his lips, and did not argue back. He knew the Yin family was finished!

It's really over!

Only the two younger brothers can go out!

They can't come up with the dirty money; they might have to spend a lifetime in prison.

But the younger brothers can live it up overseas!

Perhaps changing identities would make them the domestically sought-after golden bachelors!

Secretly taking the parents away and leaving also no one knows. They can have a family reunion. Only he remains, as well as his wife who doesn't care about him at all, hoping to be bailed out because of her pregnant status, give birth to a child, and then divorce him.

Yin Boyan thought more and more that his parents were biased and selfish; when his mother scolded him, "You're mentally unstable, I'll take you to get medicine later," he really fainted from anger.

Being mentally ill is better than spending a lifetime in prison!

Mom and Dad think it's fine for one person to bear all the sins; then let him sacrifice himself! Even if he, a mentally ill person, voluntarily takes the blame they throw at him, will anyone believe?

Officials were calm about it. They arranged a vehicle to send Yin Boyan and his uncomfortable wife to the hospital for a checkup, while others took the Yin family's heads of power couple to the police car.

The person keeping watch received news from the Su Clan side, and hurriedly sent the video and pictures to Qin Tao.

……

Su Yu slept until noon, when Su Xi shouted to wake her.

Meal's ready!

Okay!

Under Su Xi's care, Su Yu washed up, then dazedly was led out, seeing the people sitting at both ends of the sofa, she puzzledly looked up at Su Xi, "Why are they here?"

Good night, babies~
