Chapter 32

Looking at Susa lying on the hospital bed, Qin Yi walked over and sat down on a stool, "Want to chat, Susa?"

Susa was still experiencing the changes in her body, feeling surprised and curious about certain things. Suddenly hearing Qin Yi's words, she was a bit taken aback, "Huh? Chat about what?"

"Anything, like Angel, or the car accident today." These were the things Qin Yi wanted to talk about. The car accident today, the rascal Price, although Qin Yi hadn't thought of a way to deal with him, it didn't mean he didn't want to!

Just wait, you rascal!

Qin Yi cursed in his heart. For this rascal, it wasn't that Qin Yi was so noble, wanting to punish evil and promote good, but because this guy had hurt Angel. Now, Angel was Qin Yi's joy, and he absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to hurt her!

Angel? Car accident? Susa was a bit silent!

That damn Price, the scoundrel! But what could she do? The law couldn't punish this damn guy, and what could she, a single mother, do? Susa didn't want to talk about this topic!

Thinking of Angel's changes, Susa was quite happy. Angel had rarely spoken to anyone, and would even run home when she saw strangers. At four years old, she hadn't even started kindergarten, for fear that Angel wouldn't interact with others and would be bullied. She had thought it was autism, but with today's situation, Susa knew it wasn't autism.

"Angel has been very well-behaved since she was young, but she has always been afraid of strangers, and would basically run away when she saw them! This is also one of the reasons why I have had little contact with people in the past two years. Angel didn't talk to others, and I always thought it was autism, so I took her to see doctors everywhere. We came to Big Falls City today to see a doctor. But Angel didn't want to come, so I came alone, telling her not to run around. I planned to go back and cook for her at noon, but then the car accident happened."

So that's what happened, the doubts from the afternoon were all explained. But why did Angel get close to me?

After thinking for a long time, Qin Yi could only attribute it to the space and the spirit spring. Animals getting close to him had been verified by Xiaohei, and he thought that children, with their simple and pure minds, could also sense the spiritual energy he emitted, thus feeling close!

Susa briefly explained Angel's situation and wanted to know how Qin Yi and Angel had met. Qin Yi simply recounted the events. Knowing that Angel had been waiting for him on the road alone, he was a bit scared and relieved, thankful that she had met Qin Yi!

"Talk about Price, how did you end up meeting him?"

Susa was silent for a moment before speaking, "I don't know, I met him right after I left the doctor's clinic."

"Did Officer Broad tell you what the rascal was doing there?"

"The rascal said he was just wandering around." Susa was a bit puzzled, as if she remembered something.

"Wandering around? That's quite reasonable for a rascal!" After seeing Susa's puzzled expression, Qin Yi quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"When I saw him, he was leaning against a car smoking, staring in the direction I was walking. And when he saw me, he immediately came over, as if he was waiting for me!" She had been too nervous to notice at the time, but now, thinking about it carefully, it seemed like he was really waiting for her.

Susa was startled by this thought. What did he want to do by waiting for her? Oh, God! How could she have encountered such a thing?

If what Susa said was true, then her guess was very likely! Seeing Susa's frightened and excited expression, Qin Yi quickly comforted her, "Calm down, Susa, you must have guessed wrong. That bastard doesn't even know you, and you've been through a lot today, so you're just overthinking!"

"Really, Yi? That damn guy wasn't waiting for me?"

Susa wanted a positive answer from Qin Yi. If that bastard was waiting for her, it would be terrifying, but why would he wait for her? It made no sense, so she must have guessed wrong, definitely!

"Of course, Susa, you don't know each other, and you haven't had much contact with people in the past two years, let alone offended anyone. How could someone cause you trouble? Right, Susa, you haven't offended anyone, have you?"

"Absolutely not!" She didn't even need to think about it. She had never had a conflict with anyone, so how could she have offended anyone?

Qin Yi smiled and patted her hand, "There you go, Susa, you don't have any enemies, so who would bother you for no reason!"

After Qin Yi's analysis, Susa felt she had overthought things. Qin Yi unintentionally got this detail and thought it might be useful, but who should he ask for help? Officer Broad?

Qin Yi comforted Susa a few more times, making her completely relax, and didn't talk much about the car accident. They chatted about some interesting things about Angel, and time slowly passed.

After chatting for a while, Qin Yi felt Susa needed more rest, so he got up and sat on the sofa for the night. They were friends now, and it was reasonable to take care of a friend in need for a night.

Susa felt a bit guilty seeing Qin Yi spend the night on the sofa, "Yi, I'm really troubling you, making a billionaire sleep on the sofa!" Making a billionaire sleep on the sofa, she was probably the first one to do that, and she felt a bit amused.

Qin Yi didn't mind, thinking of Susa's profession, not sure if he was joking or serious, "No problem, when you get better, if you have time, you can help me look at the ranch's finances. We're neighbors, so we can help each other!"

Susa's eyes lit up. She had studied accounting, and if it weren't for her father's farm, she might have been an excellent accountant. But she quickly realized Qin Yi was joking, so she also joked, "I'd be happy to!"

"Get some rest, Susa. You should be able to move a little tomorrow, but it's best to lie down for a few more days!"

Lying on the sofa, he soon fell asleep. Susa tilted her head and watched Qin Yi sleep soundly for a while, then quietly lay down and soon fell asleep too.

The next morning at 5, Qin Yi woke up, an old habit. He stretched, walked to the window, and lifted the corner of the curtain. It was just getting light outside, but there were already people walking or jogging, starting their new day!

It seems not only the ranch gets up early, but city people do too!

Turning around, he saw Susa sleeping quietly. From the faint smile on her lips, he guessed she was having a good dream. He turned his gaze and went to the bathroom to freshen up. In the bedroom, Angel was sleeping soundly with a teddy bear.

Looking at the teddy bear, he decided to let it be. He had taken it away last night, but the girl had somehow picked it up again. Let her keep it!

Having breakfast at home would be too luxurious. If he had to go home for all three meals, he wouldn't have time for anything else, just driving! He decided to look for a Chinese restaurant that sold baozi and youtiao to get by.

Qin Yi left the hospital and drove the pickup truck around the city. There were a few Chinese restaurants, but they mostly sold noodle soup. While it was good for breakfast, even if it was delicious, it would be hard to eat after a 15-minute drive back to the hospital!

He went to another Chinese restaurant, but they didn't have it either. Qin Yi thought about buying some sandwiches to get by, but the owner pointed him in the right direction. A few blocks away, in a small alley, there was a shop that sold baozi and youtiao, but the car couldn't go in, and he had to walk a few minutes.

After circling so many stores in the early morning, he wasn't afraid of a few more steps. Qin Yi thanked the owner, parked the car, and headed straight for the alley.

The alley was about 2 meters wide, with almost no pedestrians. Qin Yi walked a few dozen meters without seeing anyone. On both sides of the street were mostly residences, with doors closed. Occasionally, there was a grocery store or a bar. Passing by the bar, Qin Yi glanced inside, and it looked similar to the cowboy bar in Augusta, with few people early in the morning.

Continuing a few hundred meters, there was a pet store with a dozen cages in front, mostly containing kittens and puppies. Looking at the store, he thought it was quite unique. Selling pets on the street was quite rare in America.

As he got closer, Qin Yi looked up at the name of the pet store: Lame Detective Agency!

Detective agency? Qin Yi stopped, thinking the two rooms that looked like a pet store were actually a detective agency. It was truly not to be judged by appearance! Thinking of the rascal Price, was he really targeting Susa? From Susa's description, it was very likely, but why?

Since he couldn't think of a way, perhaps finding a detective to help investigate would be a good idea!

That's what he would do!

Making up his mind, Qin Yi entered the detective agency that looked more like a pet store.

The windows were closed, and the only open door provided a small amount of light, but it didn't illuminate the deep right side, where a table was placed, and a figure sat behind it. The air was filled with the smell of beer.

"Looking for a cat? Or a dog?" The figure spoke as Qin Yi entered, his voice low and lazy.

"Looking for a person!" Qin Yi found it a bit amusing, wondering if all those cats and dogs at the door were his clients, "Do you like finding cats and dogs? No wonder there are so many at the door, I thought it was a pet store!"

"Ha, what person?" The figure laughed sarcastically, not lingering, and got straight to the point.

"A rascal named Price Charles in Big Falls City. I suspect he deliberately caused trouble for my friend, and I want to know why. It's best if there's no problem, but if there is, I want to dig as deep as possible!"

Then, Qin Yi recounted Susa's description.

"You can leave. I'll give you an answer in a few days. 100 dollars, no checks, please!" The figure raised his glass and took a sip, which was probably beer, his voice flat, as if he were looking for a cat or dog.

100 dollars? Qin Yi shrugged, glad he had cash in his wallet!

Leaving his contact information, Qin Yi turned to leave. At the door, he stopped and asked curiously, "Why is it called the Lame Detective Agency?"

The figure's voice didn't change, "Because the detective is a cripple!"

Qin Yi wasn't too surprised, having already made some guesses, "Sorry, but Roosevelt was also a cripple! Goodbye, Mr. Detective." Without stopping, Qin Yi quickly left, still needing to find youtiao!

The figure was a bit stunned by Qin Yi's words, yes, Roosevelt was also a cripple! After a while, the detective leaned on the table, stood up with a limp, and walked to the door, hanging a "Closed" sign.

He went back inside, packed a backpack, and gradually disappeared into the morning crowd of Big Falls City.

Qin Yi continued walking for a hundred meters and finally found a small shop selling baozi and youtiao. The business was good, with many Americans queuing up. Qin Yi also joined the queue, bought baozi and youtiao, and ordered three cups of soy milk, then headed back.

Susa woke up at 6 in the morning, still a bit drowsy, and got up to freshen up out of habit. But after taking a few steps, she realized she had a spinal fracture yesterday, and now she was fine?

Susa excitedly took a few more steps, gently twisted her waist, and felt no pain at all. She was really healed!

Oh my God, a spinal fracture healed overnight, did I meet God?

Susa found it incredible and immediately thought of last night, when Qin Yi's herbal soup and massage had already shown miraculous effects. But no matter how imaginative she was, she never thought that just one night would produce such a miraculous effect!

Yes, I met God, but I never thought that the God of the West would be a Chinese person from the East!
