Qin Zheng did not move. She looked straight at Xie Xun. "My hand is injured, and you want me to apply the medicine on my own?"
"You only have one injured hand." Xie Xun's implication was that she could apply the medicine on her other hand.
Qin Zheng quibbled, "My other hand can't do it. After fighting for so long, it's very sore. I can't take the ointment."
Qin Zheng was very smart. When she didn't have a good excuse to support herself, she would never pester Xie Xun endlessly. But every time she pestered him, she must have a good reason for doing so. People wouldn't be able to reject her even if they wanted to.
This woman was quite clever.
Xie Xun quietly looked at Qin Zheng for a while. His attitude softened. He unscrewed the ointment and slowly applied the ointment on her arm.
Qin Zheng's lips curled up slightly. The air in the room gradually quieted down. The cool feeling of the ointment eased the burning pain on her arm, giving Qin Zheng time to observe the man who was applying the medicine with his head lowered.
Because of the angle, the man's usually noble and cold expression softened slightly. Xie Xun's eyelashes were very long, covering his beautiful eyes like a fan. At this moment, he was focused and serious as he applied the medicine on her. It was as if he could only see her in his eyes. He was no longer as aloof as usual, and it was even more tempting.
At this moment, Qin Zheng suddenly felt that it was worth it to take ten more strokes.
Xie Xun was a man of few words. When the two of them were together, Qin Zheng was the one who took the initiative to speak. Xie Xun would occasionally give a perfunctory reply, so it was the same this time. Qin Zheng took the initiative to bring up the topic. "Xie Xun, do you know what happened to Wang Quan? Why did the Wang family suddenly come looking for trouble with you?"
Xie Xun paused and lowered his head to hide the surging dark light in his eyes. A moment later, he said, "I don't know." His tone was indifferent, with the usual estrangement.
The Wang family was once a well-known underworld boss in A City. Over the years, they had slowly cleaned up their reputation and started to do proper business. They did not interfere with the Qin family at all. Moreover, because the Qin family and the Wang family's older generation had some friendship, they would give each other some face when they ran into each other in the business world.
The Wang family knew that Qin Zheng was pursuing Xie Xun. Logically speaking, they should not have attacked Xie Xun without giving her face.
Qin Zheng fell into deep thought. At this moment, her phone rang and interrupted her thoughts.
Du Ling's voice came from the phone with some tension. "Zheng Zheng, there's an emergency at the Qin Corporation. Please come back."
"What happened?" Qin Zheng's voice sank.
Du Ling explained the specific situation. "Chairman Qin made an investment in the name of the Qin Corporation, but he didn't do a detailed investigation before the investment. Now, not only did the other party run away with the money, but he also left behind a large amount of debt."
After Qin Zheng heard this, she didn't say anything for a long time. Du Ling didn't urge her and silently gave her time to digest it.
After a while, Qin Zheng took a deep breath. "Got it. I'll be back right away."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Zheng looked at Xie Xun, who was sorting out the medical box. She sighed in her heart. It was not easy to get a chance to build a closer relationship with him, but it was all for naught.
Qin Zheng stood up. "Xie Xun, something happened at the company. I have to go now."
"Okay." Xie Xun stood up to send her out.
Qin Zheng reminded him worriedly, "If the Wang family gives you trouble again, you must call me immediately."
Xie Xun did not answer. The moment he walked out of the door, Qin Zheng seemed to have thought of something and stopped in her tracks. "By the way, I have already handed Xia Qing over to the police. She will be sent to prison for intentional injury." With that said, Qin Zheng turned around and left.
Xie Xun watched Qin Zheng's back as she left. His eyes were as dark as ink, and it was very scary.
Not long after Qin Zheng left, Lin Chong knocked on the door and entered to report. Xie Xun sat elegantly on the sofa with his long and well-shaped legs crossed. He lowered his head slightly and looked at the phone screen.
Lin Chong glanced at it without leaving a trace and realized that he was actually looking at the scene of Miss Qin being splashed with fruit juice in the coffee shop!
Lin Chong: "..."
He cleared his throat and began to report, "Master, everything that you've instructed has been arranged."
Xie Xun did not raise his head and only responded with a faint 'mm'.
Lin Chong hesitated. "Master, why did you deliberately leave a weakness for the Wang family to find out?" He could have dealt with Wang Quan without anyone knowing, but his master had deliberately left a weakness for the Wang family to find out. This operation... Lin Chong really could not understand.
Xie Xun's expression was indifferent, and he had no intention of speaking.
