Chapter 290: This "Soft Rice" is Really Delicious
Ding!
Payment received via Alipay: 5 million!
Qin Yu sent the WeChat message and put down his phone. His busy rich wife would surely take a while to reply to his message.
But what he didn't expect was that in the next second, Alipay notified him that Yan Mingyu had transferred 5 million to him.
She didn't even send a message to ask how much money he needed.
This generosity!
Well, Qin Yu actually wanted to say, this "soft rice" is really delicious!
Hehe, thank you!
Qin Yu grinned and sent another WeChat message to Yan Mingyu.
No need, who told you I'm your boss!
This time, Yan Mingyu did reply to the message.
Uh...
Why could he vaguely feel resentment coming through the screen?
Qin Yu scratched his head and transferred 4 million back to Yan Mingyu's Alipay, adding a note: One million is enough.
Otherwise, he would really become someone living off his wife.
Whatever you want!
Yan Mingyu was particularly annoyed today and had no mood to quibble with Qin Yu over whether it was one million or two million. After all, this amount of money was like a few bucks to her.
Moreover, if Liu Nanyan's issue wasn't resolved, it wouldn't just be a loss of several million, but the entire Four Seas Corporation. It would be better to give the money to her husband in advance!
At least, he would risk his life for her if she was in danger.
Uh...
Qin Yu scratched his head again. He knew Yan Mingyu was angry, and he still pretended to be confused and refused to acknowledge her as his wife, but he had his own difficulties!
Forget it, he should first deal with his father's issue!
Ring, ring...
Just as Qin Yu was about to transfer the money to his father's bank card, his father called.
"Dad? I've already prepared the money!" Qin Yu said after answering the phone.
"Xiaoyu, I'm currently cooperating with the police for an investigation and can't go to the bank. Would you mind bringing the money to me?" Qin Jianjun's voice was full of guilt and apology.
"Sure, Dad. Where are you?" Qin Yu agreed.
"I'm in the residential complex. The fire department is here too!" Qin Jianjun replied.
A natural gas leak would surely alert the fire department for an investigation to determine if it was an individual incident or an issue with the entire complex's gas pipelines.
"I'll be right there!"
After putting on the suit custom-tailored by Yan Mingyu and grabbing the BMW keys, Qin Yu walked out of the hospital room.
Zhou Nannan already knew his true financial status, so there was no need to pretend to be poor in front of them anymore.
Before long.
Qin Yu parked his BMW at the entrance of the Flower Garden residential complex.
He had just gotten out of the car when he saw a row of police cars and fire trucks. It was quite the scene, as there had been a natural gas explosion the night before.
After entering the residential complex, he saw a group of elders gathered together pointing and discussing the charred fourth floor.
"Officer, it's a misunderstanding! I didn't even cook last night, so how could I have left the gas on? Even if there was a leak, it's not our fault. It must be a problem with the gas pipeline!" Qin Yu hadn't walked far when he saw Zhou Cuiping grabbing a police officer's hand, protesting her innocence.
Zhou Nannan also added, "Yeah, officer, we ate out last night! We're victims too!"
"We will investigate the specifics of the situation!" the officer said, frowning.
"Oh, Yu Ge, you're here!" Zhou Nannan, out of the corner of her eye, saw the sharply dressed Qin Yu. The custom suit perfectly accentuated his tall and upright figure.
"Hmm!" Qin Yu nodded expressionlessly, harbouring no good feelings for Zhou Nannan in his heart.
"X... Xiaoyu!"
Zhou Cuiping also called out sheepishly.
"I'm going to check on my dad!"
Qin Yu didn't respond to Zhou Cuiping and headed straight towards the staircase entry.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Two auxiliary police officers who were pulling up the caution tape stopped Qin Yu.
"I'm Qin Jianjun's son. I want to go up and check out the situation. Is that okay?"
Qin Yu announced who he was.
Firstly, he knew his father was honest and straightforward, unable to talk his way out of things, making it easy for him to be wrongfully accused.
Moreover, having served as a reconnaissance special forces soldier for five years, he was more skilled in investigations than the average police officer. He wanted to go up and see for himself whether it was his father's fault for not shutting off the natural gas, or if the gas pipeline itself had issues.
"No, our people are up there investigating and gathering evidence. You'll compromise the scene if you go up!"
The auxiliary police shook their head.
"Ah...."
Qin Yu sighed. He actually detested using back doors the most. However, in reality, when everyone was doing it, you didn't really have a choice.
Not to mention, the thrill of using back doors could be addictive.
With no alternative, he turned around and sent a WeChat message to Lu Wenrou, explaining the situation.
After waiting two or three minutes, a police officer who looked like a squad leader came over: "Mr. Qin Yu, I'll take you up!"
"Thank you!"
Qin Yu gave a slight smile.
Using connections definitely felt good!
Upon reaching the fourth floor, he saw the walls were blackened, and the doors of several neighboring apartments were warped, showing the severity of last night's explosion.
"Captain Li!"
The two police officers guarding the door nodded to the squad leader accompanying Qin Yu.
"Let's go in and check the situation!"
The squad leader said indifferently, then walked into the apartment with Qin Yu.
The room was a total mess; sofas and furniture were reduced to ashes.
Some firefighters and police officers were carefully inspecting along the gas pipeline, while Qin Jianjun was standing to the side, shaking all over.
If the investigation found that it was their fault for not shutting off the gas and causing the accident, not only would he have to pay compensation, but he would also possibly face jail time.
Seeing his son arrive, he quickly called out: "Xiaoyu!"
"Dad, just cooperate with the police officers for the investigation. I'll take a look at the situation!"
Qin Yu walked towards the kitchen, which was missing half of its walls, and saw that the pots and pans were all twisted into pretzel shapes.
Standing at the window frame that was left, he looked down and saw that the gas pipeline was still very new, almost zero chance of it leaking.
In other words, it was very likely that his father and the others hadn't shut off the gas themselves.
However, Zhou Cuiping also mentioned that they hadn't been home to eat that evening. If there really had been a gas leak, the explosion would likely have occurred in the afternoon. Why did it wait until evening?

Qin Yu frowned, then went to the window in the bathroom to look down.
Directly facing the green belt of the community, he could see several clumps of grass that had been flattened, resembling footprints of an adult.
Uh?
A thought crossed Qin Yu's mind with a start, and with a push from his hands, he jumped out of the window.
"Ah...."
The people in the room were startled, and by the time they got to the window, Qin Yu was deftly sliding down the drainpipe like a monkey toward the ground.
After landing, he crouched down and started observing carefully.
The person was about 1.8 meters tall and approximately weighed 160 kilograms.
The footprints were evenly deep, indicating that this person had a very stable lower body and was someone who practiced martial arts with a high level of skill.
What was someone like that doing in an old, ordinary residential area?
And why did their footprints appear right under the building where his father rented a room?
Qin Yu's brow furrowed even tighter, and a daring idea emerged in his mind. Could it be the work of the Black Dragon Society, trying to kill his father with an explosion?
"Who?"
Since stepping into Huajin, Qin Yu's reactions and perceptions had improved quite a bit compared to before.
Just now, he clearly felt someone approaching him, but as they realized it was him, they quickly turned and left.
Qin Yu immediately got to his feet and chased after the rapidly retreating figure.
