After Ye Zhinan left the Chen family, she always felt uneasy.
What on earth was wrong?
She couldn't figure it out for a moment, so she could only keep recalling the things that had happened recently in her mind.
Qin Yihuai watched her silent appearance and quietly accompanied her beside.
"Watch out!"
Ye Zhinan was grabbed abruptly. Her arm ached so much that she couldn't help gasping.
"Sorry, it's the tree."
Qin Yihuai blushed slightly and immediately let go of his hand.
Ye Zhinan stared blankly at the tree. Suddenly, she slapped her head as if she had thought of something.
"Do you think that person looks a bit familiar?"
There was a glint in Qin Yihuai's eyes. It seemed that he had also realized something: "Is it him?"
Ye Zhinan nodded.
"There may be even greater turbulence tomorrow!"
A glint of killing intent flashed in Qin Yihuai's deep eyes.
No matter who it was, he would protect her well.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly. It didn't look like the weather in the northern border at all.
Ye Zhinan stood in the field ridges, staring blankly at the sky.
Sister Hong looked at her curiously and couldn't help asking.
"What are you looking at?"
"The weather is going to change!"
Sister Hong was surprised and looked at the big sun above her head again.
"Are you sure? How could the weather change on such a rare nice day?"
Ye Zhinan glanced into the distance. There were several women whispering to each other. From time to time, they would point in this direction.
Sister Hong was a careful person. Seeing Ye Zhinan's complexion changing, she comforted her, "Don't mind. Women like to gossip when they have nothing to do."
It didn't matter if they gossiped, but it was a bit too presumptuous to do it in front of people.
The voices of those women got louder and louder. Ye Zhinan walked straight over.
Sister Hong quickly followed.
It was really not easy to discipline them!
"What are you ladies chatting about so merrily!"
Ye Zhinan approached with a smile.
One of them was Lady Yan, who had been there before. She quickly defended herself, "It's nothing. Just chatting casually."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but Ye Zhinan blocked her way.
"Miss Ye, the last incident is already over. Why are you still pressing so hard!"
She looked embarrassed, as if she had suffered a great deal of grievance.
The tall and thin woman in the group looked at Ye Zhinan with disdain in her eyes: "Miss Ye is really powerful. She has harmed one person after another! I'm not afraid of you."
Slap!
A slap landed. The tall and thin woman was extremely surprised: "You hit me?"
"Everyone can be mouthy, but please be careful about who you talk to!"
Ye Zhinan's cold eyes swept across everyone present.
Sister Hong covered her eyes helplessly and slowly retreated to a hidden place.
She still failed to stop it in time and could only go to inform someone.
"Do you have any evidence that I've harmed someone?"
Ye Zhinan pressed on step by step.
The tall and thin woman covered her flushed face and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
"Brother Chen said so. You even tried to take his life. Our village won't tolerate someone as ruthless as you."
"Humph!"
Ye Zhinan deeply felt that kindness didn't pay off. She felt cold from head to toe.
Some people really couldn't be warmed up!
"You believe whatever he says. Do you use your head to hold paste? Not to mention whether Chen Sheng's words are believable or not. Even if he said it, he should have evidence, right? Since that's the case, please ask him to come out and explain."
"Explain then!"
The tall and thin woman pulled Lady Yan and another person and walked towards the Chen family. Ye Zhinan silently followed behind. A familiar figure came towards them not far away.
"Inspector Qin, what a coincidence!"
The tall and thin woman looked at him with contempt in her eyes, but when she met Qin Yihuai's cold eyes, she immediately lowered her head.
"What are you going to do?"
Qin Yihuai's cold voice came out. Everyone present couldn't help shivering.
The tall and thin woman leaned behind Lady Yan: "We're going to find Brother Chen."
"What are you going to the Chen family for?"
"Someone is injured. People in and out of the village should go and visit!"
Wei Shiqi didn't know where she came from. She swayed her body and leaned towards Qin Yihuai.
He silently kept a distance and stood in front of Ye Zhinan to protect her.
Wei Shiqi saw this and a hint of coldness flashed through her heart.
As they were talking, everyone had gathered at the Chen family. Chen Li heard the noise outside, opened the door and looked out. Seeing a group of people, he became nervous.
"What... what's going on?"
Wei Shiqi rushed forward quickly, leaned against the door and burst into tears.
"I heard that Brother Chen was seriously injured. We're here to visit him!"
How did she know that Chen Sheng was seriously injured?
Ye Zhinan and Qin Yihuai glanced at each other and watched the situation quietly.
They saw Chen Li's mouth twitch slightly, but he quickly regained his timid look.
"I'll thank you all on behalf of my brother. He'll definitely come to thank you when he recovers. But it's not convenient today. Please forgive us."
After saying that, he was just about to close the door when he was hit on the hand with a stick.
"What are you afraid of? Since she, Miss Ye, has harmed someone, I have to let everyone know."
Chen Sheng didn't know when he walked out. His empty right sleeve fluttered in the wind.
"Ouch, Brother Chen, what happened to your hand?"
Wei Shiqi grabbed the sleeve in horror, with tears in her eyes.
Ye Zhinan looked at her with disdain.
It's a pity she didn't go to act as a bad female supporting character!
After Wei Shiqi made such a fuss, everyone looked at Chen Sheng's sleeve in unison. It made his face turn green and then white. A surge of anger immediately rushed to his head.
Without hesitation, he raised the stick and smashed it towards Ye Zhinan.
"Watch out!"
Qin Yihuai stepped forward bravely. He grabbed the stick with one hand and tried to control Chen Sheng with the other. But when he reached out, he remembered that the other arm was missing, so he grabbed nothing.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Sheng let go of the stick and rushed straight towards Ye Zhinan.
Just as Ye Zhinan was about to be choked by him, Chen Li suddenly rushed forward and hugged Chen Sheng's waist.
"Brother, forget it. Inspector Qin is here. You can't do this!"
What did that mean?
Ye Zhinan was stunned. Looking at everyone else, there were expressions of surprise, disdain, fear and contempt on their faces.
Wei Shiqi was standing aside, looking like she was enjoying the show.
"Inspector Qin, you can't show favoritism!"
As soon as she said this, everyone echoed.
"They all say that Inspector Qin has a special relationship with Miss Ye. It seems that's really the case."
"Shh, you should be careful! Don't end up like the Chen family."
Some people even advised Chen Sheng: "Brother Chen, just forget it. Your health is more important."
"Yes, your health is important. Brother Chen, you might as well tell us what you did last night, who you met, who poisoned you and why. Why do you have to say it has something to do with me? Now that everyone is here, please explain clearly."
Ye Zhinan wasn't angry. She threw out the questions one by one.
Chen Sheng was stunned: "Last night... it was you who cut off my hand!"
"Why did I cut it off?"
"Because... because I was poisoned!"
"Then the question is still who wanted to harm you? You can't take your anger out on me just because I cut off your hand to save you. Then tell me why I would want to harm you?"
Chen Sheng stammered.
Of course he couldn't say that all his family's handicrafts were taught by Ye Zhinan.
"If you don't say, then I will."
Ye Zhinan cleared her throat, slowly walked to the middle and was just about to speak when she heard a thud behind her.
