Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 439 The Predator Trapping Plan (38)

After spending some time cleaning up the bloodstains in the room, Yan Zhen locked the door and went downstairs as if nothing had happened.

She walked to the pile of garbage and pressed the button on the lamppost.

Five minutes later, the unmanned spaceship that was clearing the body arrived. Just like yesterday, it hovered in mid-air, opened its lower compartment, and two mechanical arms reached down to collect Xu Xingzhan's body.

After cleaning up the mess, Yan Zhen took off his coat and put it back into the pile of tattered luggage belonging to the female homeless woman, then left into the night.

After leaving the slum, Yan Zhen turned on his personal terminal, intending to ask Qin Shao about the progress of the plan.

But when I opened the four-person group chat, it was almost entirely filled with messages about Haier.

Haier had never been to a planet as big as A001 before. Like a mountain monkey entering the city, everything was new and exciting to them.

Yan Zhen sent a message to Haier: "Where are you?"

Haier replied instantly, sending a location: "Here, the tour group has arranged accommodations. Have you finished your business?"

"It's done."

After replying, Yan Zhen tagged Qin Shao: "What about you?"

Qin Shao did not reply.

Haier asked, "Sister Jiang, are you coming over to my place? Or are you going to see your husband?"

Yan Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to your place."

I don't know what's going on with Qin Shao. His identity is sensitive, and if I go there rashly, I might hold him back.

Haier said happily, "Okay, I'll prepare some food for you."

Yan Zhen took a small plane to the hotel where Haier was staying.

It was late at night when Yan Zhen saw Haier craning his neck to wait for her at the hotel entrance as soon as she got off the plane.

The two met, and Haier took Yan Zhen back to his hotel room.

The tour group arranged a suite for the three of them, and Yan Zhen went back to his room to take a shower first.

When she came out of the bathroom, Haier ordered her a meal.

Haier had thoroughly explored all the delicious dishes in the hotel restaurant today, and eagerly handed over a small dessert, saying, "This is super delicious, Sister Jiang, you must try it."

Just as Yan Zhen was about to say yes, the door to the hotel room was suddenly pushed open from the outside without warning.

Yan Zhen reacted immediately, pulling Haier behind him and watching the person who walked in warily.

It is Qin Shao.

They both breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Zhen then noticed that Qin Shao's mood was not quite right.

His face was expressionless and he seemed normal, but he exuded a low-pressure atmosphere.

"Brother-in-law's back!" Haier, oblivious to Qin Shao's strange behavior, leaned over and asked, "Are you hungry or tired? I'll give you..."

"Refrigerator." Yan Zhen interrupted Haier, "I'm not hungry, I'll just share one with him. You go back to your room and rest."

Haier then realized what was going on and nodded: "Okay, just call me if you need anything."

After Haier left, Yan Zhen asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Shao remained silent, walked to the living room sofa, sat down, and leaned back as if all his strength had left him, his eyes filled with blankness.

Yan Zhen didn't press him for details. He poured a glass of water and placed it in front of him, then sat down next to him.

After a long while, Qin Shao seemed to have composed himself before slowly speaking: "I saw my family... my parents, and my grandfather."

"and then?"

“I told them that I had evidence that Andrei had falsely accused me of murder ten years ago.” Qin Shao’s words were slurred. “But they told me that the three forces had been very tense over the years, and that things had only eased up in the last year. If I were to propose to overturn the verdict at this time, it would disrupt the balance of power among the three parties.”

Yan Zhen's heart skipped a beat.

“They said…” Qin Shao’s breathing became heavy as he spoke, “They said that things have come to this point, and there is no need to overturn the case.”

Yan Zhen was not surprised.

Ten years ago, the Qin family failed to protect Qin Shao in that frame-up case, so there is no need to spend so much effort to overturn the case for him ten years later.

From age 16 to 26, the most crucial decade, Qin Shao failed to realize his value and develop his own network within A001.

Even if his mental strength level is high, the benefits he can bring to the Qin family now are far less than the harm that overturning his case would cause.

In other words, the Qin family has completely given up on Qin Shao.

"Then what should we do?" Yan Zhen asked.

She saw Qin Shao's grievances and knew very well how desperately Qin Shao wanted to overturn the case, prove his innocence, and return to his homeland and family.

He risked so much to come back, only to receive this answer; he wouldn't accept it.

Qin Shao remained silent for a moment, then asked Yan Zhen, "What do you think I should do?"

Yan Zhen said without hesitation, "Let's take them down!"

Qin Shao was taken aback.

Yan Zhen patiently analyzed with him: "You are in so much pain right now. Besides being disappointed in your family, you are simply heartbroken that they abandoned you. Since they can disregard your life and death and ignore your feelings, why should you still care about them?"

If it were up to me, I'd find a way to mess things up. If I'm not having a good time, then nobody should! Nobody's feelings are as important as mine.

Qin Shao was amused by her indignant expression.

As he smiled, his expression darkened again: "I'll think about it."

Yan Zhen understood why Qin Shao was so conflicted.

He was pampered and raised by the Qin family from birth. His grandfather, a great general, took him under his wing and personally raised and taught him. His parents were proud of him, and he enjoyed the best resources the Qin family had.

In addition, the Qin family had tried their best to protect him when he was framed for murder, but in the end they failed to do so. Therefore, although he was disappointed in the Qin family, he could not bring himself to resent them.

Under these circumstances, he was somewhat reluctant to ask him to sacrifice the stability of the entire Qin family by instigating a three-way conflict and causing his elderly grandfather to worry and exert himself.

"If you can't make a decision right away, then don't think about it for now." Yan Zhen moved the food in front of him. "Eat something."

Qin Shao probably didn't want her to worry, so he ate most of his meal and then went to take a shower.

Yan Zhen finished packing the lunchbox and was chatting with Shen Rong in C032 on his personal computer when there was a knock on the guest room door.

She immediately became alert, got up and went over, pressed a button by the door to activate the one-way vision function.

Five or six men who looked like bodyguards stood outside the door, escorting a woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a long black dress.

The woman had a graceful figure, elegant demeanor, and was very well-maintained; her blue eyes were exactly like Qin Shao's.

Qin Shao's mother?

Realizing the other person's identity, Yan Zhen opened the door and went out, then quickly closed it again, looking the woman up close and asking, "Looking for Qin Shao?"

The other person seemed surprised that a young girl would open the door, and paused for a moment before nodding: "Yes, you are..."

"I am Qin Shao's wife."

Aunt Qin: "...He's married?"

"Yes, didn't you know? We also have a child."

Qin's mother: "...Sorry, I didn't know."

"Now you know," Yan Zhen said, arms crossed. "What do you want with my husband?"

Qin's mother probably sensed Yan Zhen's unfriendly attitude, and frowned slightly: "I want to see Qin Shao."

“He’s asleep,” Yan Zhen said. “He wasn’t in a good mood after he came back, and it took me a lot of effort to get him to sleep. If you need anything, just tell me, and I’ll pass it on to him.”
