"Who knows if you've secretly come to Shijiu City on some kind of secret mission," Jie Jianjun said, grasping at straws.
Qin Xiang was exasperated and speechless. He'd been perfectly clear, yet Jing Si's uncle refused to give up.
"Fine. Let's put aside whether this is my first time in Shijiu City. Jie Jianjun, ask yourself honestly, can your daughter withstand an investigation?" Qin Xiang demanded.
Jie Jianjun fell silent. 'Of course she can't,' he thought. Before he knew Qin Xiang's identity, he'd been brimming with confidence. The moment he found out, it all vanished.
"Jie Jianjun, for Jing Si's sake, I can let this slide. But I advise you to return to the hospital and convince your daughter to see reason. Otherwise, she won't be the only one to suffer the consequences—you'll be dragged down with her." This wasn't a threat from Qin Xiang, but a statement of fact.
