Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 422 The Demise of the Si Family ( )

The sudden turn of events came like a thunderbolt, so fast that Liu Jinnian and Bai Lin couldn't react in time.

Bai Lin's face was ashen, her mind blank, unable to think of how to clean up this mess.

Liu Jinnian was the first to recover from his shock. He took a step forward and blocked the way, deliberately speaking in a submissive tone.

"Chief, congratulations on your recovery! Do you remember me? I'm Yan Lan's friend."

As soon as he said those words, a wave of regret surged through his heart, almost overwhelming him.

He was truly blind. He mistook a fish eye for a pearl, neglecting Yan Lan and instead turning to curry favor with Yan Xue.

If he hadn't broken off his relationship with Yan Lan back then, wouldn't this governor be his father-in-law now?

Back then, let alone one Qin family, even ten more Qin families, he could easily control them. Why would he need to be subservient to others like he is now?

The governor merely glanced at him indifferently, without uttering a single word, his face paling even further.

He had been lying in bed for so long that his body was severely depleted, and he had only managed to hold on until now, which was already his limit.

Upon seeing this, the people around him immediately rushed forward to protect him.

"Strictly block all information."

The governor finished speaking with his last bit of strength, then everything went black and he fainted.

The crowd was in chaos, and only then did Bai Lin dare to approach Liu Jinnian.

"What should we do? Si Chu is so useless! He can't even beat a sick old man. Our plans will be completely ruined." The situation was too tense just now, and she didn't dare to make a move. She could only watch helplessly as Si Chu was defeated.

Liu Jinnian pushed up his glasses, his eyes showing no panic but rather a hint of calculation: "No rush. The governor's help in getting rid of Si Chu has actually saved us a lot of trouble. Go now and compile all the dirty deeds Si Chu has committed over the years, including embezzlement, corruption, and misappropriation of resources, and report them to the authorities."

"Strike while the iron is hot and kill him."

Even if the Si family wanted to protect Si Chu, they would have to see if the governor would agree. Now that the governor has woken up, he will definitely settle scores with the Si family. He can take this opportunity to completely seize control of the Qin family.

As for Qin Shi… Liu Jinnian curled a contemptuous smile at the corner of his mouth, not taking him seriously at all.

Without Qin's shares, Qin Shi is no different from a stray dog, unable to make any waves.

On the other side, Yan Lan's car sped along, leaving the cars behind far behind, and soon arrived at the apartment building.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Yan Lan saw Qin Shi standing under a street lamp with two children, waiting for her. The two little ones would occasionally tiptoe and glance at the intersection, looking exceptionally well-behaved.

My nerves, which had been tense all day, relaxed instantly the moment I saw the children.

Yan Lan quickly got out of the car, casually took off her mask, and the coldness in her eyes hadn't faded before it was completely replaced by warmth.

"Mommy!" The two little ones rushed over almost at the same time, hugging her legs on either side, rubbing their little heads against her, their voices soft and sweet.

Yan Lan bent down and pulled both children into her arms, gently nuzzling their heads with her nose, her voice very soft: "Did you miss your mother?"

"Yes!" Chaochao nodded vigorously, her little hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes. "We waited for a long time. Daddy said Mommy would come back, so we kept staring at the intersection."

Xiao Xi buried her face in the crook of her neck and hummed softly, as if she were being coquettish, or perhaps complaining that she had come back too late.

Qin Shi stood aside, watching this scene. The worry in his eyes gradually faded, and he reached out to tidy up Yan Lan's hair that had been ruffled by the wind.

Yan Lan was taken aback. Her fingertips were still cool from outside the car. The spot where her fingertips touched felt like a small spark had landed on it, giving it a slight burn.

She was clearly surprised by Qin Shi's intimate gesture, and subconsciously looked up at him, only to realize that the two hadn't seen each other for quite some time.

Qin Shi had become much thinner, with faint dark circles under his eyes, and even his jawline was sharper than before.

But in Qin Shi's eyes, Yan Lan was no different.

"Dr. X, welcome home." Qin Shi smiled, his tone carrying a hint of deliberate teasing, yet unable to hide his genuine tenderness.

He reached out and hugged his daughter. "You two, stop bothering Mommy. Let's go home together."
