Chapter 72 Don't blame your brother for being heartless.
Qi Min glanced at the time and realized that it was already evening. He had unknowingly spent the whole afternoon watching videos.
"Have you finished dealing with your business?"
As Qi Min got up to take the dinner from Ling Yi, he started a conversation while constantly observing Ling Yi's expression, trying to see if his anger from lunch had subsided.
"It's all taken care of, thank you for your concern, Lord Xiong."
Ling Yi responded in a nonchalant tone, not looking at Qi Min who was stealing glances at him, but secretly wanting to laugh.
At noon, Qi Min had been acting domineering and tough, but now he was observing carefully, as if afraid that he was still angry.
Seeing Ling Yi's reaction, Qi Min felt a little uneasy and coughed lightly, trying to ease the somewhat cold atmosphere.
"Um... Ling Yi, what happened at noon was my fault. I went too far. Are you still angry?"
Ling Yi slightly raised his eyes, glanced at Qi Min gently, then lowered his eyes and spoke calmly.
"I don't understand what the ruler is saying."
Upon hearing this, Qi Min knew that Ling Yi was still angry, so he quickly moved closer to Ling Yi and said sincerely:
"Ling Yi, my lady... I really know I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay? I promise! I will never do it again."
Ling Yi remained expressionless after hearing this, but he put down the cutlery a little harder. He sat down next to Qi Min without saying a word and looked at him without speaking.
Upon seeing this, Qi Min immediately realized that he had made a mistake in his last sentence, and quickly corrected himself, saying that he had been left in the ward by him and that he was so scared and pitiful.
Seeing that Ling Yi still didn't react, Qi Min gritted his teeth and continued:
"You're so angry, do you hate it when I'm close to you...?"
Qi Min put on a disappointed and sad look, as if he had been hurt by Ling Yi's reaction.
Ling Yi moved slightly, looked up at Qi Min, and his eyes showed a hint of helplessness.
“My lord, there’s no need for this. I’m not angry, nor do I dislike your closeness, it’s just that…”
As Ling Yi spoke, his expression became somewhat unnatural. He didn't dislike Qi Min's closeness, but the feeling at that moment was completely beyond his control, and he felt a little suffocated.
Besides, Ling Yi quite enjoyed watching Qi Min pretend to be pitiful and gently coax him because he was afraid of making him angry.
"You're lying to me, otherwise why are you always so far away from me..."
Qi Min feigned disbelief and then complained that Ling Yi never sat next to him.
Ling Yi felt slightly helpless upon hearing this. Every time he sat a little closer to Qi Min, Qi Min would sneak up on him and force him to enter another track.
But seeing that Qi Min still looked sad and dissatisfied, Ling Yi had no choice but to get up and sit on the edge of the bed, facing Qi Min.
When Qi Min saw him coming, he finally showed a satisfied smile. While setting out the tableware for Ling Yi, he grumbled that Ling Yi shouldn't always sit so far away, making him misunderstand.
He then told Ling Yi about the adventure videos he had watched that afternoon, suggesting that he find some time to travel to other star systems with Ling Yi.
Ling Yi listened quietly, nodded in agreement, and thought to himself that he would take Qi Min there sometime after his own affairs were completely settled.
The two enjoyed a cozy dinner together. With Qi Min initiating conversation and Ling Yi responding enthusiastically, they gradually grew closer in this warm atmosphere.
At the same time, Fu Wen and Kong Fei didn't even have time to eat dinner, as the on-site investigation report from the investigation department had already been released.
Based on the testimonies of all the male and female insects present, the head of the investigation department is currently leading a meeting, working overtime.
The main task is to organize the relevant investigation materials so that they can be transferred to the Ministry of Justice as soon as possible, as this matter has received a lot of attention recently.
The president of the Male Insect Protection Association has made many phone calls urging him to hurry up, and has also submitted another case file, saying that his male insects were attacked before, and he suspects that it was done by Meng Jun, the second son of the Meng family.
The basis for this is his female offspring, namely Lingyi, the female ruler of the main victim, the male insect Qimin. She was once favored by Meng Jun, but because Lingyi was assigned a male ruler in advance, the matter was eventually dropped.
However, in just a few days, his male son Ling Huiyao and his female son's male master were injured and had accidents one after another. He suspected that it was Meng Jun's deliberate act of revenge.
Furthermore, based on the new testimonies brought back by Fu Wen and Kong Fei, the male insects led by Meng Jun are very likely involved in the recently developed new type of drug.
We are now just waiting for the hospital's drug testing report. After compiling the relevant information, the head of the investigation department quickly transferred the information to the Ministry of Justice, and the case was successfully filed.
That night, the night breeze stirred, and countless people were captivated by this sudden event.
Inside the Meng family mansion, Meng Jun's older brother, Meng Zhuo, was sitting in his study, listening to the female insect beside him report on the progress of the investigation.
"Master, this matter is extremely disadvantageous to us. The Second Young Master has left behind too much evidence, and Ling Zhenhao, the president of the Male Insect Protection Association, has an enormous appetite."
He wanted all of the Meng family's shares in the mall, but you refused. According to the information we received, he has already filed a lawsuit against the second young master.
"With the evidence from the investigation department, if the Department of Justice conducts a thorough investigation, our Meng family's businesses, both overt and covert, will definitely be greatly affected," the female insect said worriedly.
Meng Zhuo frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said to him, "The shipment in the shadows has been temporarily halted. As long as Meng Jun insists that he bought the goods, it won't implicate much."
As for the business dealings in the open, the Meng family will compensate Meng Jun for what he did wrong, and try to minimize the losses.
Meng Zhuo spoke calmly, his words making it seem as if Meng Jun had already been convicted.
Upon hearing this, the female insect beside her was startled, realizing that the male meant he was going to abandon Meng Jun and didn't intend to care about him anymore. Just as she was about to agree, she heard Meng Zhuo continue to give instructions.
"Immediately intensify your efforts to gather information on the Ministry of Justice's movements, and at the same time, prepare accordingly. If necessary, release some damaging information about Meng Jun, indicating that the Meng family has tolerated him for a long time."
This time it seems they were completely implicated by him. No matter what, we must minimize the damage to the Meng family in this matter.” The female insect nodded in agreement and left the study.
Meng Zhuo was left alone in the study. After a long while, a voice that sounded like a sigh suddenly rang out in the quiet study.
"Little brother, don't blame your older brother for being heartless. It's your fault for being so careless and making such a big fuss. I have no choice but to let you take the blame..."
........................
Inside the hospital, Qi Min and Ling Yi were unaware of the turmoil outside. After dinner, Qi Min leaned against the hospital bed, watching Ling Yi's busy figure, and felt a sense of warmth in his heart.
"Ling Yi, it's so good to have you here."
Qi Min suddenly spoke softly.
