761 Plans Against Her
******************
CHAPTER 761 – Plans Against Her
As much as Lin Qi wished to escape her problems, she knew it was going to be hard.
As such her next plan of action was to leave the city as soon as she paid off those she needed to pay.
She did not wish to concern herself with the likes of her sister-in-law.
She had gotten to the point where everyone ended up fending for themselves and until she was sure Kim Fan was still on her side, she wished to stay in hiding.
Soonest, she was sure the news would get to her brothers and when that time came, Lin Liqin and Lin Zian would not be too forgiving.
She breathed out sharply as her chest fell. More and more, Lin Qi took deep breaths hoping to calm this aching feeling in her chest.
Ever since this first war began, she could sleep properly but now, even the simplest of sleep had eluded her.
.....
CRASH!
Frustrated by how concerned she had placed herself; Lin Qi threw the glass cup in her hands against the wall in front of her and screamed out in anger.
“Damn you, Li Jing!” she cursed loudly.
“Arrrrgghhh!”
The maid at the side of the big living room kept her head lowered and did not take a single step.
She couldn’t.
How could she when her madam was behaving like a runt?
Taking matters into her hands, Lin Qi picked up her phone once more and put a call across to Kim Fan.
In the end the response she got from the automated female voice was one and the same.
“Arrgh! Stupid souls! I bet he is hiding. Fine. No one should blame me when I take my selfish decision. No one!”
She turned around swiftly, her eyes landing on the maid. “You,” she said pointing at her.
“Madam.”
“Get your lazy self working and clean up this place. Understood?”
“Yes, Madam.”
“Also, remember, you are here as a doll. You neither see the affairs happening in this house nor do you hear them. Understood?”
“Yes, Madam. I am a doll,” the maid repeated to her hearing before taking a bow and excusing herself to get on with the task given to her.
Lin Qi leaned down, picked up the glass of wine that was still open, Pressed the tip to her mouth and downed almost half the bottle before dropping it down.
“Aishh!” Her eyebrows creased as did her squinted eyes as she took one more look at the bottle before placing it down.
Since this whole charade, she had found more comfort in drinking than being alone waiting for news of some hope.
Shaking her head, she held the bottle tight and stormed off towards her room.
“I must not wait. I need to leave.”
******
On the other hand, in line with the investigation, Kim Fan sent a message across to the police station holding the men hostage.
At first, he had planned to stay out of it until they came to him but then he saw things were getting prolonged and he needed to ensure Lin Qi did not leave the city before they arrived.
First things first, he had men stationed outside her house to monitor her movement.
Since he planned on helping Li Jing, he planned on seeing that she got the justice she deserved through and through.
Thanks to his intervention, the police could easily get a statement from the men after showing them one major piece of proof, Kim Fan.
Should they reject it and the investigations were carried out, then their sentence would be worse than they had thought it to be.
Dropping his phone on the table, he leaned back against his chair and crossed his leg.
Judging from the missed calls on his phone, he knew how shaken Lin Qi must be. And it pleased him so much with it.
“I bet she cannot wait to run as fast as she could. I am sure those that escaped must have sent her a message by now. Hmm,” he breathed out and brought his fingers closed to his face, placing them together in the form of a pyramid.
“Lin Qi, having been double-crossed after trying to double-cross yourself, what would you do?”
His clear brown eyes shimmered under the light for the first time since he fell for Li Jing, he saw a future where she would be grateful to him and it pleased him the more.
“Fine. I will call to check out things with the police, then we shall know where you will be next.”
He took his phone, searched for the officer in charge of the case’s number and called.
“Hello, good afternoon. Kim Fan on the line.”
“Yes. Afternoon Mr Kim. I was going to call you once I wrapped up the work on my desk.”
“I see. Nice I beat you to it, else who knows when that would have been?”
“Hahhaa, no need to be like that. Anyways, since you have called, I shall tell you.”
“Good, I needed to ask concerning the case. So please, carry on.”
“I gave gotten their confession and even have them write things down. Once I get the approval for an arrest warrant, we will act immediately.”
“And the police here?”
“They have been informed about things. You do not have to worry much.”
“Oh, I do worry. For a woman like this, I am sure she would flee the city or country even if her instincts do not seat well with her.”
“I know. Airports and other means of transport have their authorities informed. There is nowhere for her to run.”
“You have my thanks. I have also put my people in place. She will not be leaving the mansion,” Kim Fan assured him.
“Good. Thank you, Mr. Kim.”
“And Mrs. Lin Xuilan?” Kim Fan inquired.
“Same situation awaits her, Mr. Kim.”
“Sure. For her, she knows better than to try and escape. From what I could garner, should the general be informed about his wife’s actions and she makes an escape, once caught, it would not go well with her.”
“Sadly. But he will be informed soon. Anyway, I need to finish things. I am sure both of them will be brought in as of tomorrow. As for the other escaped men, we are trying our best to bring them in.”
“Remember, not all of them are to blame,” Kim Fan reminded him.
“Yes, I know. Mrs Ye said so in her statement. Do not worry, we will investigate. Thank you once more for your cooperation, Mr. Kim.”
“Anytime, Officer.”
