Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Counterkill Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Counterkill The car didn’t enter the underground garage; Li Yehan wanted to spend a bit more time with Nan Qiao. Nan Qiao opened her eyes and found that she was still in the car. Li Yehan’s jacket, which smelled of his cool, refreshing scent, covered her. It smelled very nice. Nan Qiao took the jacket off and handed it to him, “I’m home now.” Li Yehan said, “We arrived a while ago. I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t wake you.” Nan Qiao looked outside the car window and sure enough, they were at her doorstep. “Thank you for bringing me home. I’m going to get out of the car now; you should head back and rest too.” Nan Qiao unfastened her seat belt, but as soon as she stepped out of the car, her feet weakened, and her body lurched forward. She fell right into Li Yehan’s arms. He had gotten out of the car earlier, intending to help Nan Qiao with the door, only to have her fall towards him. Nan Qiao instinctively wrapped her arms around Li Yehan’s neck, while he hugged her slender waist, which felt soft and limp. The Bai Family came outside and happened to witness this scene. Along with them, Bai Yurou also saw the usually unapproachable Li Yehan holding Nan Qiao’s waist. “Qiaoqiao,” Chen Xinwan called out. Nan Qiao steadied herself and pushed Li Yehan away. She had been asleep in the car for so long that her legs were weak, which caused her to lose her balance and fall. Nan Qiao quickly approached Chen Xinwan with an awkward smile on her face, “My legs are a bit weak.” Chen Xinwan asked, “Did you twist your ankle? I can have the family doctor come over and take a look.” Bai Zhenyang suggested, “Maybe we should take you to the hospital. You know, injuries to tendons and bones take a long time to heal.” Bai Jingrui added, “Sister, it’s best to go to the hospital to get it checked out.” Nan Qiao assured them, “It’s not necessary, I just fell asleep in the car and wasn’t steady on my feet when I got out.” Grandpa Bai asked, “Qiaoqiao, have you eaten yet? We were about to bring you some food, hearing from the butler that you had come back.” They were holding three food containers, apparently ready to go out, and a warm current swept through Nan Qiao’s heart. Nan Qiao smiled brightly, “Thank you, I’ve already eaten.” Li Yehan stepped forward, the thick nightfall behind him. Under the glow of the lights, his handsome face was even more enchanting. Bai Yurou glanced at him and silently lowered her head, unable to hide the admiration in her eyes. Grandpa Bai looked at Li Yehan with great satisfaction. “Ye Han, thank you for driving Qiaoqiao home. It’s getting late, so I won’t keep you for tea,” mainly because he saw the fatigue in Nan Qiao’s eyes. Since Qiaoqiao was tired, naturally, they wouldn’t keep Li Yehan. If Li Yehan were to come over, Nan Qiao would have to fuss over a little longer. Li Yehan nodded, “You’re too kind, Grandpa Bai. It’s only right that I brought Qiaoqiao back. I’ll be leaving now. Qiaoqiao, you should rest early.” Li Yehan got back into the car and drove away from the Bai Family’s doorstep. Nan Qiao got into a car in the yard; the house was too big. Without the car, walking to the main gate on foot was just too tiring. Nan Qiao passed through a quiet path, walked past a pond, reached a beautiful garden, and finally arrived at the building where she lived. “Qiaoqiao, you go up and sleep first. I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare some nourishing food, so eat more tomorrow when you get up, and replenish well. You’re too skinny; tomorrow, Mommy will go to the store and pick out some ginseng and bird’s nest for you to boost your health.” Nan Qiao replied, “I have some ginseng that my master sent over at my place. We can all eat it together.” Chen Xinwan said, “No need, that’s all a token of your master’s affection. You keep it.” Chen Xinwan naturally wouldn’t touch Nan Qiao’s gifts. Nan Qiao was too drained to chat with everyone; she just wanted to take a bath to refresh herself and continue drawing. “I’m going to go upstairs to rest now.” Nan Qiao entered the elevator, and her family also followed, heading back to their own rooms to rest. ... Nan Qiao took a shower and put on a dry hair cap before opening her computer. Li Yehan’s video call came through, and after pondering for a moment, Nan Qiao chose to answer. In the camera view, Li Yehan was sitting on the sofa, a doting smile playing in his eyes. When he saw Nan Qiao, fresh from her bath, his throat tightened; his gaze fixed on her face, unable to look away for a long time. “Li Yehan, do you need something?” Nan Qiao lowered her head to check her pajamas, which were conservative and not revealing; what was he staring at so intently? Li Yehan was still in that white shirt, wearing a pair of silver-framed glasses, with less of his usual coldness, the very image of a gentleman gone rogue. His narrow eyes focused directly on Nan Qiao in the lens, a hook at the corner of his lips, his voice seductive, “Not finished with your work yet?” “I’m getting ready to sleep.” Li Yehan looked at her innocent face and smirked, “Really?” “Really, Li Yehan, goodnight.” Nan Qiao hung up the phone. She opened the design drawings and continued working. Meanwhile, Li Yehan picked up his phone, dark eyes gleaming with malice, “Secretary Zhao, first thing tomorrow morning, I do not want to see Liu Hui still in the position of a designer or working for any company.” “Yes, Mr. Li.” After hanging up the phone, Secretary Zhao scrambled around, feeling that the money wasn’t easy to earn! In the dead of night, he might as well drop dead. At this moment, Liu Hui was counting the latest transfer into her bank account. “Five million dollars secured, who would work at Zhou Hongqi’s tiny, shabby company! I’m going to quit right now!” Liu Hui sat amidst her beautiful dreams, ready to live a carefree life. Her phone rang, and seeing the unfamiliar number, Liu Hui got as excited as if she had seen the God of Wealth, “Hello, I’ve completed the task you gave me. Now Nan Qiao’s company must be in utter chaos, and I don’t believe Rong Yan can draw the designs in such a short time. Without any other designers, that company can just go bankrupt! Unless Huai Xi, the master designer, is there. Only she can draw twenty design drawings overnight!” The person on the other end hummed, “Take your money and keep your mouth shut.” “Don’t worry, I’ve booked my ticket. I’ll leave first thing tomorrow morning, and no one will be able to find me.” Only then did the caller relax and hang up. Liu Hui was overjoyed, dreaming of her new wealth until the break of dawn. The next morning, she was ready to leave with her suitcase in hand. As she opened the door, she saw public servants waiting for her. “Liu Hui, you are suspected of tax evasion. Come with us.” Liu Hui was completely flustered; she had everything planned already, how could the police take her away now! “Someone has framed me!” Liu Hui refused to go with them. “Xu Dayong has already confessed in prison, and he has evidence. Come with us and you’ll know if you’ve been wronged or not!” The officials took Liu Hui away, leaving no room for resistance. At the same time, Liu Hui wasn’t the only one in trouble; Zhou Hongqi was as well. Zhou Hongqi never imagined that his dreams would shatter, and his money-making schemes would go down the drain. Waiting for him were lawsuits. After Liu Hui’s arrest, it became public knowledge that she plagiarized Rong Yan’s work. All the designs she brought to Zhou Hongqi’s company were copied. Zhou Hongqi found out the news as he arrived at his company. The secretary rushed in frantically, and Zhou Hongqi sat in his chair asking, “What’s got you so flustered, did pre-sales increase again?” Secretary: “President Zhou, it’s not about an increase in pre-sales, our company is facing a lawsuit! Liu Hui has been arrested, and she’s claimed that all the designs she brought were plagiarized! President Zhou, you need to think of something fast!” Zhou Hongqi felt a darkness before his eyes and nearly passed out. He shook his head, in a complete panic. What to do now?
