Chapter 247
Qin Sui hadn't gone far; he stayed in the nearest city to Atlanta.
He quickly skimmed through the local news, checked that Xiao Ya hadn't sent any new messages, and then headed to the airport.
Qin Haoming walked up to him, his face stern. "I didn't tell your mother about this to avoid scaring her. How's the situation now?"
Qin Sui opened the car door and said, "Xiao Ya went to Qin Yue's school to investigate..."
Qin Haoming's face darkened further and he interrupted, "Are you crazy? That's your Grandpa Zhang's only granddaughter. If something happens to her, things will get even more complicated. How will you explain that to your Grandpa Zhang?"
"She's very smart."
"It has nothing to do with being smart. These things should be handled by adults. Contact your sister right now. I'll ask her what's going on..."
Qin Sui refused, "No."
"Qin Sui!"
"When will you understand that I'm not like you, and Qin Yue isn't like our mother either? She has a strong sense of pride and is stubborn. Once she decides not to say anything, no one can get it out of her."
The atmosphere in the car quickly froze as the father and son clashed.
However, the daughter's situation was still the priority. Qin Haoming took the initiative to speak again, "So, what do you suggest?"
"Xiao Ya said it might take three or four days to resolve, and it's only the second day. Let's wait..."
"How can we wait?" Qin Haoming frowned. "Once your sister opens up, we'll have a breakthrough, and the rest will be easy to handle..."
"Why can't we wait?" Qin Sui retorted calmly. "We've waited before without knowing, haven't we?"
"Alright, I won't ask anything. I'll go see your sister myself. Maybe I can find some clues."
"Her phone is unreachable."
"And you're not worried?" Qin Haoming's hair almost stood on end.
Just as the father and son were about to argue again, Qin Sui's phone suddenly rang.
"It's Xiao Ya's call."
"Answer it quickly!"
"Hello," Qin Sui put the phone to his ear.
"The situation should be resolved. No one can threaten Qin Yue anymore," Xiao Ya said on the other end.
Qin Sui: "..."
Although he had sought her help and had shown absolute trust in front of his father... but this fast?
"What exactly happened?" Qin Sui was desperate to know. The usual indifference had vanished from him.
The voice on the other end replied, "It's a bit complicated. We'll be back once the boat docks. We'll explain in person."
Boat?
They were on a boat?
Qin Sui suppressed his impulse and replied, "Okay."
Then he hung up the phone.
Qin Haoming couldn't wait to ask, "What did she say?"
"She said the situation is resolved."
"Resolved?" Qin Haoming was taken aback. He had just arrived.
"Really?" Qin Haoming asked uncertainly again.
Qin Sui's expression relaxed considerably, "Xiao Ya never lies."
Qin Haoming: "..."
He felt like a joke, having almost argued with his son moments ago.

The forces brought by Gui Jia and Ke Muning were substantial, and with three intimidating adults leading the way, the rest didn't dare to resist much.
Soon, they had complete control over the entire cruise ship.
"There are indeed two real ones inside," Wei Wenyi reported after interrogating.
Xiao Ya clicked her tongue, "Did she double-cross? She deceived Edith, set up such a large operation, and then used it to deceive two real wealthy and political figures' relatives?"
"Yes, those two don't really care if Gui Wenxin's identity is real or not. They found a secret place to satisfy their desires, with someone to do their dirty work and take the blame if anything goes wrong. Perfect for them," Wei Wenyi said, then glanced at Xiao Ya's expression.
Worried that such sordid and dark matters might distress her.
But Xiao Ya was more concerned about other things, "Can the girls 'offered' by Edith return to normal life?"
"Yes, the aftermath will be handled by Auntie and Uncle."
Xiao Ya felt a bit relieved but continued to ask, "What about those two? Will they cause trouble?"
Ke Muning, who had just finished a call with Jefferson, turned and said, "No. This will be concluded under the joint law enforcement of the FBI and state police. Those who need to go to prison will go to prison."
Ke Muning shrugged, "It's actually good that there are two real ones! At least it's good news for Jefferson."
Qin Yue, sitting at the table, still seemed a bit dazed.
Her English was excellent.
But these words seemed to be from another world.
"Sir, we found some unopened bottles of mineral water," an underling brought several large boxes over.
Wei Wenjuan signaled his bodyguard to help carry them, "Just in time, I'm thirsty."
Ke Muning asked his underling, "Is there any milk?"
The underling thought for a moment, "Didn't pay attention, but there must be milk for cooking in the kitchen..."
Before the underling could finish, Xiao Ya interrupted, "I've grown up, I don't drink milk anymore."
Wei Wenyi wanted to say that even grown-up babies can still drink milk, but Ke Muning spoke first, "Right, then let's drink some wine. Go find two bottles..."
Wei Wenjuan couldn't hold back, "How can you give alcohol to a minor? Ke Muning, are you crazy?"
"I drank vodka when I was eight..."
"That's you."
Xiao Ya looked left and right, sighing inwardly.
Alright, even though they're not enemies anymore, they still argue.
Xiao Ya suddenly remembered, "Ke Muning, where are my papers?"
Ke Muning's eyes gleamed with pride as he took them from his underling and placed them on the table.
It was Xiao Ya's schoolbag.
"Inside," Ke Muning said.
Xiao Ya nodded in satisfaction, taking out the exam papers, "There's still some time before we dock... This is for Ke Muning, this is for Auntie, this is for Uncle..."
She handed out a set to each.
Ke Muning: "..."
Wei Wenjuan and Wei Wenyi's loving smiles also vanished in shock.
Aliali: 67540bcaab2494648e000050Qin Yue raised her head again.
Am I dreaming? Otherwise, how could someone be doing homework in the middle of all these bullet casings?
And not just Zhang Ruoshui herself.
She handed them out to the adults.
"Sir! That woman is dead..." an underling suddenly ran over.
Ke Muning immediately stood up, "I'll go see what happened."
Xiao Ya frowned but pulled Ke Muning back to his seat, "I'll go check. You do the papers."
Qin Yue: "..."
Even more surreal.
Xiao Ya turned to look at her, "Do you want to come with me?"
