Qin Shaobai considered himself to have good self-restraint and could control his emotions, and he also felt that being together might not be better than quietly protecting someone, so he respected Qi Jingren's decision, even if it went against his own heart.
After leaving the Shi Family, Qin Shaobai went to Ciaos, planning to see if he could find any more clues.
Xiao Chen had previously admitted to crimes serious enough to have him imprisoned, but he was released without charges on the second day of his detention. The police stated that there was no concrete evidence to prove Xiao Chen's crimes, thus they dropped the charges against him.
It was obvious that someone had smoothed things over for him.
As for who this person behind the scenes is, Shi Aoju, Qin Shaobai, and Song Zhike all knew well; being able to easily clear someone on the verge of imprisonment was not the work of a simple individual.
And the only person worth suspecting, who meets all the conditions, is Bei Mo.
