Chapter: 4447

However, he had told Li Yalin yesterday not to investigate Autumn Qi, so now he couldn't ask directly and only asked vaguely if there were any new developments.

Li Yalin and An Chongqiu had been good brothers for many years, naturally knowing what his brother was thinking inside, so he directly answered: "I had someone trace back from Kennedy Airport in the opposite direction. You might not believe it, but that Autumn Qi was also at the Tangren Street when we were having roast ducks."

"What?!" An Chongqiu exclaimed in astonishment. "She was also at the shop? That's impossible! At that time, there were only the shop owner and his assistant, plus the two of us inside. How could Autumn Qi be there too?"

Li Yalin said, "You might not have noticed, but I carefully thought about it again. When we entered the shop, there were two people getting off the elevator in front of us, one of whom was Autumn Qi."

An Chongqiu blurted out, "I... couldn't believe it's so coincidental! That means Miss Qi wasn't getting the news from anyone else, she got it directly from me..."

"Yes." Li Yalin smiled wryly. "This seems like I'm overthinking things, but yesterday I thought there must be some conspiracy involved, but I didn't expect things to be this coincidental... After you left in a hurry, saying Old Master was seriously ill and rushing off to the airport, I also left soon after, and Autumn Qi's car also left Tangren Street heading in the same direction. That can explain why she could have gotten there so quickly."

An Chongqiu sighed. "It seems like Old Master is indeed blessed with good fortune... If we two hadn't gone to eat roast ducks that day, Old Master would probably not have made it through that tough spot..."

"Yes." Li Yalin sighed as well. "Speaking of this Miss Qi, she's indeed deeply concerned about her family and took immediate action after hearing the news. It seems like she didn't just go to Los Angeles for a social visit, but to save Old Master."

An Chongqiu was deeply moved, saying, "I never expected that there would be so much hidden background to this affair... So it seems like we're owed a debt of gratitude by Miss Qi..."

Li Yalin nodded, but then seemed to have some doubts and muttered to himself, "Chongqiu, I don't understand one thing. If Miss Qi had the power to save Old Master's life and knew you were downstairs at the time, why didn't she just give you the medicine directly?"

As he spoke, Li Yalin said again, "And besides, didn't she wait until I left before she came out? It feels like she was intentionally trying to avoid you."

"That's...," An Chongqiu thought hard and then said, "You're saying she didn't give me the medicine directly, maybe it's because she was afraid I wouldn't believe her. If I don't believe in her medicine, will it be effective? And if it is effective, will it harm Old Master?"

Li Yalin sighed and said, "Maybe, but I just feel that nothing in these events makes logical sense."

An Chongqiu then said, "Alright, stop worrying too much. I just received a news push notification from the Fei family's spokesperson, announcing that they'll be holding a press conference at 8 am tomorrow to release news. It seems like the new young woman will try to salvage the situation."

Li Yalin smiled sarcastically and said, "Salvage the situation... what a joke! Whoever takes over will only end up in trouble."

An Chongqiu said, "At this point, if someone with courage comes forward, there's still a chance. It all depends on whether that young woman has the guts."

Li Yalin laughed and said, "I'm curious to see how much ability she has! If she can calm down the public sentiment and do something good, I'll be grateful too. Otherwise, I'll really be worried sick..."

As he spoke, Li Yalin lamented, "Old Master Fei died, along with Xiao Feiyun. And countless young girls have been hurt or killed in this chaos... it's as if we New York police officers are having our faces trampled on the concrete ground."

An Chongqiu said, "Luckily, those young girls didn't go missing in New York, so you guys can at least give yourselves some leeway."

As he spoke, An Chongqiu warned Li Yalin, "But old man Li, you need to find a way to stabilize the situation first and can't let things slide further."

"Ah, yes." Li Yalin opened his mouth to say, "I'll go talk to them in a minute and make my attitude clear. New York can't lose any more lives over this matter."

Just as he finished speaking, an officer pushed open the door without knocking and burst in, looking frantic and exclaiming, "Captain, something big is happening!"

Li Yalin's brain was in agony at these words.

He thought his nerves were already stretched to the limit, but he didn't think it would be this bad. The phrase "something big" had become like a mantra to him, with each repetition making his nerves suffer even more.

As a result, all he could do was grit his teeth and ask, "What kind of big thing has happened again?!?" JrNovels.com
