Chapter 784 -775 Farewell (3)
Xi You’s act of drugging involved a substance commonly found in prescription medications with sedative and sleep-inducing effects. What he used was a refined, colorless, and tasteless version of the drug, with exceptionally potent effects.
If it weren’t for the intense media scrutiny and the tireless investigation by Bo Yan and Han Yifan, this incident could have been settled with a payoff. After all, although he tied up that woman and whipped her a few times, he hadn’t actually gone through with his intentions; it was merely an attempted crime. Xi You wielded considerable influence in the area, and if he could have reached a settlement with the victim, he likely wouldn’t have spent even one day in detention.
Unfortunately for him, he met his match.
Bo Yan even managed to steer the narrative toward his family’s pharmaceutical company. With the company already in crisis, they couldn’t protect him, and with the media watching, they could only allow the tests to proceed.
They blacklisted one, while whitewashing many others, including Xia Siyu, who gained public sympathy for being caught in the scandal vortex for no reason. Bo Yan, in particular, emerged untouched, avoiding media focus. In this event, aside from dealing with someone who had unwholesome intentions toward his wife, making a tidy sum from short-selling stocks, he had also played matchmaker for his good brother and Shang Feifei, emerging as the biggest winner.
At that moment, however, the winner had a pensive look. To avoid being photographed by reporters, he didn’t ask for a driver or Song Fengzhi to take him, but simply had Song Fengzhi arrange a car to take Xia Siyu to the airport. Right after Siyu got in, he hesitated before getting in as well, “Let me take you to the airport.”
Xia Siyu was, of course, happy; he wasn’t scheduled to film that day anyway, and with the weather forecast to be cloudy turning to clear, his shooting part was done, and he could focus on recovery starting tomorrow.
Throughout the ride, neither of them spoke. Siyu was a bit sleepy, so Bo Yan slightly lowered his shoulder, allowing her to rest her head against him. Siyu comfortably leaned on him, her hand intertwined with his.
Usually, Bo Yan hated traffic jams, but ironically, there wasn’t any congestion today. When he had gotten into the car, the traffic report indicated a jam on the route, possibly due to an accident, expecting an additional half-hour delay. But once on the road, they encountered no such delays and arrived at the airport at half-past noon.
Xia Siyu’s flight was at four o’clock in the afternoon, leaving two and a half hours to spare. Shang Feifei and others had also arrived. The Southwest airport wasn’t large, but with many reporters around wherever she went, Siyu and Bo Yan were safer the further they stayed from her.
With time to spare, they found a quiet restaurant at the airport to eat.
Bo Yan was still not at ease, “After you get back, don’t indulge yourself too much, and there are some things you should still avoid eating. Also, don’t stay up too late, you were playing video games all night recently, right? Don’t always be on your phone; you’ll strain your eyes. And…”
Xia Siyu stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth, “That’s enough already.”
Bo Yan was still worried, although the chicken leg temporarily silenced him. However, after they finished eating, there were only two hours left before her flight, and it was time to check in.

Bo Yan went through the check-in process with her and watched her enter the gate area. He stayed outside, separated from her by a railing. After Siyu passed the security check with her boarding pass and ID, she looked back, and Bo Yan was still there.
Xia Siyu waved her boarding pass at him. Though her face was obscured by a mask, making her expression unclear, one could sense a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
