Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 408 The Turmoil in the Prefecture

As the car drove away from the state capital area, the tension inside finally dissipated.

Yan Lan leaned back in her seat, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Qin Shi.

"Let's go to my apartment first. This whole thing in Zhoufu has blown up too much. We need to lay low for a while and see if it will implicate the Qin family."

Qin Shi nodded in agreement, glancing at the two little ones in the rearview mirror out of the corner of his eye, a hint of worry in his eyes.

When they arrived at the apartment building, as soon as Yan Lan opened the door, she gave Chaochao a wink and softened her voice: "Chaochao, come and take your medicine."

Chaochao's eyes flickered, and she tightened her grip on the remote control. She followed Yan Lan into the bedroom and closed the door behind her.

As soon as the door closed, Qin Shi turned around and caught Xiao Xi, who was tiptoeing and trying to eavesdrop by the door. He reached out and pulled her back, placing her on his lap.

His face fell, and he feigned seriousness: "Tell me, what was that drug you were using just now?"

Xiaoxi shrank back under his gaze, clutching the hem of her clothes with her small hands, her eyes darting elsewhere, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Meanwhile, in the second bedroom, Yan Lan placed the water glass on the table, squatted down to be at eye level with Chaochao, and spoke with a more serious tone than usual, her tone no longer casual.

"Chao Chao, tell Mom the truth. What exactly happened with the drug in the remote-controlled car and your car modifications?" Chao Chao lowered her head, her fingers digging into the corner of the table, and muttered softly, "I... I'm just worried about Mom and Dad."

In both rooms, the interrogations were conducted almost simultaneously, but the two little ones were very tight-lipped, looking at each other and refusing to divulge anything.

Yan Lan deliberately sighed and said, "If you don't tell me, Mom will never let you touch the modified parts again."

Chaochao panicked and whispered the confession.

On the other side, Xiaoxi saw that Qin Shi had a stern face and didn't smile, so she got scared and tearfully told him everything.

It turned out that Xiaoxi had hidden the sleeping pills. The two of them waited in the car for news, and the longer they waited, the more panicked they became, fearing that something might have happened to their parents inside. So they huddled together to discuss "saving their parents".

Chaochao took out his modified remote-controlled car with a camera, which allowed him to see the situation inside and control it precisely.

Xiaoxi then took out a sleeping potion she had concocted, saying it could temporarily knock people unconscious without harming them.

After discussing it, the two came up with the idea of ​​the remote-controlled car crashing into the state capital.

After hearing the reason, Yan Lan and Qin Shi returned to the living room. They looked at the two little ones with their heads hanging down on the sofa, exchanged a troubled glance, and muttered to themselves.

These two mischievous kids are bold, full of ideas, and even dare to "team up." Who do they take after in terms of personality?

After regaining his composure, Qin Shi remembered the prescription and his tone became serious.

"What was the prescription you've been searching for all this time?"

Yan Lan touched Chaochao's face, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes, and finally confessed.

"It's for Chaochao's health. My mother, Yan Yunxi, once created a prescription that could improve physical condition, which was just right for Chaochao's situation. But the original prescription has been lost for a long time, and I've searched for it for a long time without any clues."

Qin Shi frowned, then suddenly thought of something: "Can't we contact the governor directly? After all... Chaochao is his grandson too."

He paused deliberately before speaking, avoiding mentioning the connection that "the governor is Yan Lan's father."

He had already realized that Yan Lan didn't want to bring up the matter.

Just as Yan Lan was about to speak, Chaochao, who was standing next to her, suddenly raised her head and whispered.

"I...I called Grandpa Governor while I was in the car, but he didn't answer even after I called several times."

He was a little disappointed because today was his grandfather's birthday, and he wanted to wish him a happy birthday.

Upon hearing this, Yan Lan and Qin Shi's expressions instantly darkened, and a thought simultaneously popped into their minds: something's not right.

Based on the strange situation in the prefecture, the two almost simultaneously guessed that the prefectural governor had likely been taken into custody...

Meanwhile, in the state capital, chaos had already broken out.

After Siqin sought emergency medical treatment, Si Chu finally slowly opened his eyes.

With a sharp "smack," Siqin's hand slapped him hard across the face, her knuckles trembling with anger.

"You lied to me! You never gave me the real prescription. You just wanted to make Lao Tao's health worse so you could seize power!" Si Chu covered her face, her eyes darting around, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.

The Yan family members who left the Zhou Mansion became a laughing stock on the streets. As soon as Madam Yan stepped out of the Zhou Mansion gate, she couldn't help but lash out at Yan Feng.

"Back then, you treated me like a fool just to curry favor with Siqin! Now look what's happened, she doesn't even respect you, you're just a joke!"

Yan Feng was already holding back his anger, and she scolded him, which made him even more anxious: "Stop talking nonsense! That happened so long ago."

The two argued more and more fiercely, and before they knew it, they were fighting.

Madam Yan reached out and scratched Yan Feng's face, her fingernails scraping his cheeks hard, leaving several red marks.

Yan Feng tried to dodge, but Madam Yan grabbed his collar and shoved him until the two of them collapsed on the roadside. They pulled each other's hair and scratched each other's arms. Yan Feng's face was scratched all over, looking like a cat with a tangled mess.

Many passersby stopped to watch, pointing and whispering, and all traces of their previous dignity were gone.

Not far away, Yan Xue watched the chaotic scene and was about to step forward to explain for Yan Feng when her cheek suddenly went numb.

With a loud slap, Liu Jinnian's hand fell mercilessly.

"Yan Xue, let's get a divorce." Liu Jinnian's voice was icy cold, his eyes filled with disgust.

Yan Xue covered her face, her eyes contorted, and screamed in rebuttal: "I won't get a divorce! I'd rather die than get a divorce! Even if I'm just occupying the position without doing anything, I will never let you be with Yan Lan, not in this lifetime!"

Looking at her hysterical state, Liu Jinnian found it laughable and coldly uttered a remark.

"Yan Xue, you will definitely regret this."

He didn't press the matter further and turned to leave.

Over the years, he had seen through the Yan family's corruption and secretly collected all the evidence of Yan Feng's embezzlement and bribery.

The ledgers, transfer records, and recordings of private transactions were all complete. Not long after returning home, he anonymously released this evidence.

Within half a day, news of Yan Feng's embezzlement spread throughout the city, and the Yan family was instantly thrust into the spotlight, destined for utter destruction.

Liu Jinnian returned to her car and made a phone call.

On the other end of the phone, "Bai Xiaoyu" answered the call.

At this moment, she was standing by the governor's hospital bed, looking at the unconscious man lying on the bed in front of her.

A smug smile crept onto her lips.

"Jin Nian, don't worry, everything is proceeding according to our plan."

The governor is in my hands now, he's been drugged, everything's fine, and no one has discovered what's going on between us.

Liu Jinnian said in a deep voice, "Keep an eye on him and make sure nothing goes wrong. I'll contact you later."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jinnian looked at the darkening sky outside the car window, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
