Chapter 275

Hearing Ji Fei's thoughts about the "catch the adultery" drama beginning, Qin Xian's expression changed slightly. He immediately said, "Fei Fei, go to the door and take a quick peek at the situation outside."0

Ji Fei quickly ran to the door, pulled it open just a crack, and glanced outside before shutting it again. "Oh no, I saw a group of people heading this way. If we go out now, we'll definitely be spotted immediately."0

Inside the bathroom, Jing Yan also heard Ji Fei's words and his face turned as pale as paper. Full of despair and resentment, he thought about his mother, sister, and cousin—those closest to him. The actions of his dear relatives made his blood run cold.0

"Why... why must it be like this..." Jing Yan's thoughts turned to his family, and he felt as if his blood was flowing backward.0

"Now is not the time to think about that," Qin Xian said coldly.0

Jing Yan knew this in his heart. He tried to force himself to calm down and think of a solution, but his body, controlled by the drugs, wouldn't cooperate. If not for his strong sense of pride, he wouldn't have been able to maintain even this shred of reason.0Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Seeing that Jing Yan was unable to think straight, Qin Xian took charge.0

The water in the bathtub had already submerged Jing Yan's body.0

Qin Xian turned off the water and tossed a towel to Jing Yan. "If you can't hold it in, bite down on this. Don't make a sound and give away your presence here."0

Qin Xian's steady voice naturally carried a sense of authority, making Jing Yan, despite his muddled mind, almost instinctively follow orders.0

Qin Xian stepped out, and Ji Fei was trying to wake up Cen Ting. After glancing around, Qin Xian said, "Fei Fei, put her in the wardrobe. Pretend it's just the two of us in this room."0

Ji Fei's eyes lit up.0

[Damn, no wonder he's the CEO. I didn't think of that. If those people barge in and see it's just us two, they wouldn't dare search the room thoroughly. And if they do, Qin Xian will just glare them into submission!]0

Qin Xian: ...0

Ji Fei quickly lifted Cen Ting and stuffed her into the wardrobe nearby.0

Turning her head, she saw Qin Xian cleaning up the room—picking up the shattered vase and covering up the blood Jing Yan had accidentally spilled on the floor.0

Meanwhile, outside, Jing Yu was leading a group of people with great momentum towards the east corridor.0

Suddenly, the Qin family trio passed by and directly stopped Jing Yu. They seemed not to notice the others gathering behind them.0

"Oh, just in time. You're Jing Yu, right? Have you seen our son and daughter-in-law? We've been looking for them everywhere, but their phones are unreachable. We have something urgent to discuss with them!" Qin's Father said.0

Qin's Mom added, "It's really urgent. Maybe you could use a megaphone to help us call them?"0

Qin Yan also chipped in to stall, "Or help us check the surveillance footage?"0

Jing Yu, who was in a hurry to catch the adulterers, was infuriated by these three oblivious people. But despite his anger, he didn't dare to lose his temper, knowing their status. He could only curse in his heart.0

"Go find my mom to handle this," Jing Yu said impatiently.0

The Qin family wasn't about to let this little ingrate get away so easily. Whether their son and daughter-in-law were up to something or not, they had to buy them time.0

At that moment, Madam Xie, seeing an opportunity, quickly stepped forward to engage the Qin family in conversation.0

But they underestimated the shamelessness of some people. For the sake of success, Jing Yu didn't even bother with pretenses. He pushed past everyone and charged toward the lounge, his actions practically confirming the adultery plot, making everyone following behind excited.0

Especially the entertainment reporters, eager for the first scoop, completely disregarded order and rushed forward like a swarm.0

As the door was opened, even before Jing Yu could see what was inside, he angrily shouted, "What are you doing in here!"0

A short female voice cried out, "Ah!"0

"Oh my, could it really be Brother and Cen Ting?" Wan Ru immediately exclaimed from the back of the crowd.0

The Jing and Cen families all turned pale and pushed their way to the front. Madam Xie's face darkened like a pot left on the stove too long. She suddenly turned to look at Madam Wan at the very back and saw the cold smile on her lips.0

Madam Xie, connecting the dots, felt as if she had fallen into an icy abyss. She had never expected that this sister-in-law, due to her superstition, disliked her son to such an extreme.0

Cen Ting had just officially agreed to marry Jing Yu, and if she were now caught in a relationship with Jing Yan, the scandal would ruin Jing Yan's reputation. Not only would he be disqualified from inheriting the Jing family, but he would also be branded with the crime of adultery with his sister-in-law.0

Madam Xie felt utterly desperate, realizing that this situation might be beyond repair.0

The onlookers, however, were thrilled. The buzz of conversation grew louder, drawing even more spectators eager to join the gossip.0

The small circle of friends also rushed forward, worried that their friend might really be in trouble. After all, these two individuals weren't exactly known for their moral integrity, but there was no karmic justice at play here.0

The flashbulbs, which should have been flashing non-stop, suddenly stopped after just one burst, as if an icy thread was spreading from the doorway.0

Then came the collective gasp of the crowd.0

Accompanying this was a cold voice that carried an underlying fury, causing everyone to take a step back in fear.0

"Entering my and my wife's resting place without knocking. The Jing family's manners are truly something to behold. Get out!"0

The Qin family and the small circle of friends were stunned. That was Qin Xian's voice. So, the female voice that had cried out earlier must have been Ji Fei's.0

The entertainment reporters at the very front turned pale. Seeing the man's imposing presence, they knew he wasn't someone they could afford to offend. Besides, the couple was clearly just resting here; there was nothing to film. They quickly backed away.0

"Delete any photos you've taken. You wouldn't want to deal with Qin Corporation's legal team," Qin Xian sternly warned.0

At this, the reporters forgot to retreat and frantically deleted the photos from their cameras.0

Qin Corporation's legal team? Who would dare to mess with them unless they wanted to end up in jail?0

Some seasoned reporters quickly guessed the identities of the couple. Although they didn't dare to report it, some still recognized them.0

It seemed those two were none other than Qin Corporation's CEO, Qin Xian, and the entertainment industry's judge, Ji Fei.0

Previously, there had been rumors that they were married, but others didn't believe it. Now, it seemed true. No wonder Ji Fei had always been unscathed despite causing so much trouble—her family background was that powerful! Jing Yu had really put them in a tough spot. They needed to retreat quickly before this couple remembered their faces.0

Standing at the very front, Jing Yu seemed to have lost his soul, staring blankly at the scene inside.0

"What's going on?" Wan Ru exclaimed in surprise and squeezed her way to the front. She saw Qin Xian sitting on the sofa, holding Ji Fei in his arms. Ji Fei seemed to have been startled and was hiding her face in Qin Xian's shoulder.0

The two clearly looked like they had been in the middle of an intimate moment, possibly hugging or even kissing, when a crowd suddenly burst in. Not even someone of Qin Xian's status could remain calm under such rude intrusion. It was utterly humiliating.0

And in this room, besides the two of them, there was no one else.
