Qiao Nian felt a little drowsy after taking the medicine and drinking half a cup of warm milk. In addition, Gu San was driving the car very smoothly. She closed her eyes slightly and soon fell asleep in the back of the car.

She didn’t see her phone screen light up.

Ye Wangchuan saw it. It seemed like Uncle Shen was trying to contact her.

There were usually not many people around her. Besides her classmates, Yuan Yongqin, and Su Huaiyuan, there was only one other person with the surname Shen.

Shen Jingyan.

Ye Wangchuan picked up her cell phone, lowered his eyes, and pressed on the shutdown button. After pressing the button for a while, the screen stopped flashing and went completely black.

He put the cell phone back to where it was, took off his coat, and gently put it on Qiao Nian. He then said to Gu San in the front seat, “Drive slower. Make a detour before going back.”

Gu San looked in the rearview mirror and saw that Qiao Nian was sleeping. She rarely fell asleep in the car. Without further explanation, he nodded, lowered his voice, and said, “Okay. I’ll drive around this road twice. This will give Miss Qiao a little more time to sleep.”

Ye Wangchuan looked at Qiao Nian’s sleeping face and thought of something. Suddenly, he said with a lazy tone, “Tell Cai Gang to convey this message to everyone. If Wei Qi is sentenced now, he will face a maximum of about three to five years in prison. However, if he decides to drag this out and waste more time, he may be looking at a lifetime behind bars.”

Gu San guessed that he was probably feeling unhappy. He nodded. Without hesitation, he called Cai Gang and conveyed Ye Wangchuan’s message through a Bluetooth headset.

…

Outside the provincial hospital.

Shen Jingyan and Wei Ling were at the hospital. Even Wei Dongshan and Qiao Weimin had hurried over.

Wei Ling had a sullen face and sat there looking very unpleasant. Needless to say, it was because Cai Gang had released the person right in front of her, not giving her any face. He had trampled over her and the Wei Family’s pride.

Shen Jingyan was outside making a call and had not come in for the time being.

Wei Dongshan had just arrived. When he heard that Wei Qi had been taken away, his heart jumped and he frowned. He said, “We may have messed with the wrong person this time.

“Why don’t we just let this matter go? If you keep hounding after Qiao Nian, you don’t know what will happen. We also don’t know who is backing her. She’s so evil…”

“How can we just let this go? Wei Qi would have broken three ribs for nothing!” Wei Ling asked angrily. She couldn’t accept his solution and wouldn’t listen to his persuasion.

She clenched her fist and teeth hard and said, “I still hold some leeway over her and Chen Yuan with the punishment. Even if she has enough influence to make Cai Gang bring them away, I don’t believe she has the ability to resolve everything by herself! Unless she’s willing to forego the College Entrance Examination, we shall see who wins in the end!”

She was blinded by anger and speaking recklessly.

In her heart, there was no comparison. Between Qiao Nian being unable to go to college and her spoiled brother being locked up in the police station, there was no question as to which was more important.

She was so angry she felt like she could kill Qiao Nian right now. But even if she did, it wouldn’t appease a tenth of her anger.

Qiao Chen had also followed Qiao Weimin here. She didn’t know what had happened. However, seeing Wei Ling so angry while mentioning Qiao Nian’s name, she had a feeling it was related to Qiao Nian beating up Wei Qi.

She was in a bad mood after being embarrassed in front of her classmates in the gathering. However, she suddenly felt better. She obediently went forward and tried to persuade Wei Ling. “Aunt, please don’t be angry anymore. What good will come out of it?”

She paused for a moment, looked out, took Wei Ling’s arm, and said softly, “Uncle is here. He’ll definitely have a solution for this problem..”
