Chapter 48: This Time, Chu Li Won't Help

Chu Li arrived.

He walked up to Qin Xingwan and asked her with concern, "Are you alright?"

For the first time, he did not go to comfort or soothe Qin Yun Shu.

"A Li, you've finally come." Lady Qin finally found her backbone through her weeping, "Xingwan actually said that Ashen leaked the formula. You two are such good friends, how could he possibly do such a thing?"

Chu Li frowned, "Leaked the formula?"

The real culprit had already been caught, so why was Qin Shen being dragged into this again?

Qin Xingwan pulled evidence from her phone, "The evidence is right here."

Lady Qin could not bear to look after seeing only two pages, "You forged this..."

She firmly believed in Qin Shen's innocence to the end.

Qin Yun Shu's face turned paler and paler.

She thought she had arranged everything flawlessly, but Qin Xingwan had found out and even called the police.

She glanced at Chu Li, her mind calculating.

Taking the initiative to step forward, she said softly, "A Li, I want to talk to you alone."

Qin Xingwan let out a sarcastic laugh; she had intended to leave anyway, so she walked away without saying a word.

Chu Li wanted to follow her out but was blocked by Qin Yun Shu.

Her eyes held a soft, watery shimmer, "A Li."

The two went to the hallway.

Qin Yun Shu wept in a low voice, "It's all my fault, it's my mistake."

Chu Li furrowed his brows, "Tell me slowly."

Qin Yun Shu said, "My brother saw me depressed and learned of what I had been through at the company, so he kept saying he wanted to teach my sister a lesson. I couldn't stop him, and I never expected him to do something like this."

Chu Li remained expressionless, "So it's all true?"

Qin Yun Shu nodded gently.

Chu Li's face was covered in frost, "Does he know how much loss this has caused me? And Xingwan, she is his own sister, yet he could still do this."

At this moment, he finally understood the kind of favoritism Qin Nainai had spoken of regarding the Qin Family.

It was infuriating.

Thinking of how Qin Xingwan had lived in such an environment for over twenty years, his heart ached.

He couldn't wait to see her.

"A Li, for my sake, can you spare him this time?" Qin Yun Shu pleaded in a low voice.

As long as Chu Li did not pursue the matter, then Qin Xingwan's police report would be useless.

However, Chu Li did not let it slide as he had before.

He said coldly, "He deserves to suffer a little."

Leaving those words behind, he strode off to chase after Qin Xingwan.

He did not even notice that Qin Yun Shu was still clutching his sleeve.

Qin Yun Shu was dragged along and nearly fell; she steadied herself, her expression one of disbelief.

He actually just left like that?

Lady Qin came out and anxiously asked about Chu Li's attitude.

Qin Yun Shu shook her head gently, "He refuses."

Lady Qin was so anxious that her vision blurred, "How can that be? Doesn't he like you the most? Is your pleading useless?"

Like?

Qin Yun Shu's heart was already filled with bitterness, and her voice trembled slightly, "He likes my sister now."

"What?" Lady Qin felt like she was about to faint.

Chu Li likes Qin Xingwan?

If she had known, she wouldn't have scolded Qin Xingwan like that.

Chu Li intercepted Qin Xingwan in the parking lot; he was filled with guilt and unease, simply because he hadn't investigated further after finding Wang Ming.

He had missed the chance to find the truth.

"Xingwan."

"Are you going to help him?" Qin Xingwan looked at him coldly.

Chu Li gripped her palm; her fingers were shockingly cold.

"I won't," he promised.

Qin Xingwan was surprised; this really didn't sound like something Chu Li would say.

Regardless, it was best if he didn't help.

With her ironclad evidence, it was enough to finish off Qin Shen.

It was just that Qin Yun Shu might not be innocent either; it all depended on how much Qin Shen truly loved this sister of his.

"Let's go, I'll take you back." Chu Li raised his hand to wrap it around her shoulder.

Qin Xingwan gently pulled away, "Chu Li, enough is enough."

She would not be grateful to him just because he wasn't helping Qin Shen.

He also didn't need to put on a show of caring for her.

A car happened to pull up, and Qin Xingwan left directly.

Chu Li stood where he was, his heart full of bitterness.

"A Li." Qin Yun Shu, supporting Lady Qin, had found him again.

Both women had tears in their eyes.

Lady Qin's body was incredibly weak, and she even nearly fell over.

Chu Li reached out to support her.

Lady Qin took the opportunity to grab his clothes, begging him to help Qin Shen.

The Qin Family had only this one son, and their future all depended on him.

He could not have anything happen to him.

"A Li, you don't need to be put in a difficult position," Qin Yun Shu said softly. "Since you and my sister have already decided to start over, we will find a way to handle this matter ourselves; otherwise, if my sister finds out, she will get angry again."

She displayed her understanding side.

Chu Li did not soften his heart; he said, "Since that is the case, it is useless for you to look for me; you should go find someone powerful..."

A mobile phone ringtone sounded.

There was an emergency meeting he needed to attend.

Chu Li answered the phone and strode away.

Lady Qin clutched Qin Yun Shu's hand and asked blankly, "What did A Li mean by his words just now? What did he mean by finding someone powerful? Is it a person?"

A powerful person?

Who is powerful?

Qin Yun Shu suddenly realized, and she hurriedly said, "It's Grandma."

A powerful person...

Someone who could make Qin Xingwan change her mind...

Only Grandma.

Lady Qin had a sudden flash of insight, "That's right, find Grandma."

As long as Qin Nainai spoke up, Qin Xingwan would definitely listen.

It had been like this before.

Lady Qin left in a hurry and immediately arranged for someone to go pick up Qin Nainai.

Qin Yun Shu sat alone on a chair at the Police Station, feeling very bitter inside.

Qin Shen was truly stupid; he actually used his own bank card to make the transfer. Was he afraid the police wouldn't be able to find out?

And then there was Qin Xingwan, who had once again turned the tables.

She disregarded the bond between siblings and wanted Qin Shen to pay the price.

If she were a little luckier and found out about her, what would happen then?

And there was Chu Li.

In the past, no matter what happened, he would always stand firmly by her side to protect her and believe in her.

But this time, his heart leaned toward Qin Xingwan.

He even said he wanted to let Qin Shen suffer a little.

He was venting his anger for Qin Xingwan.

The more she thought about it, the more Qin Yun Shu felt a stifling pain in her chest; it was particularly unbearable.

She was very unwilling to accept this.

Qin Xingwan contacted Lawyer Wen and asked him for the date of his return to the country.

She wanted to sue Qin Shen directly.

Lawyer Wen replied quickly today; his family member was ill, so his return date was undecided.

Qin Xingwan had no choice but to look for another lawyer.

This time, she did not intend to let Qin Shen off.

At three in the afternoon, news came from the Police Station that all the evidence provided by Qin Xingwan was authentic and valid.

It was Qin Shen who instigated Wang Ming to install the micro-surveillance and sell the video to a rival company; the money in the account and the gambling debts were the other party's show of sincerity.

And the two million that Qin Shen gave to Wang Ming's wife additionally, although it appeared to be obtained in the form of a lottery, was actually transferred from Qin Shen's account.

Two million was the extra payment for his hard work and for keeping his mouth shut.

This transfer by Qin Shen was ironclad proof.

No matter how he tried to quibble, it was useless.

Under Qin Yun Shu's constant requests, she met with Qin Shen.

Qin Yun Shu bit her lip and shed tears, "I'm sorry, brother, it's all my fault."

Qin Shen offered a few perfunctory words of comfort; his mood was very complicated now, and he did not know whether he should expose the real mastermind or bear it all himself.

"Brother," Qin Yun Shu whispered to him, "Mom went to pick up Grandma; she should be arriving by now."

This sentence was a stimulant that made Qin Shen perk up.

Grandma was coming, and he was saved.
