1535 Qi Zhenbai’s Ruthlessness
Chi Shuyan really hadn’t expected Qi Zhenbai, her ex-boyfriend, to appear at her door again, but she wasn’t too astonished. While she was quick to support him when he toppled onto her, she didn’t show any other reaction, and stood blankly at the door for a long time.
After a long while, she finally came back to her senses. She looked up at the empty hallway, then looked down at that face on her shoulder that was both familiar and not.
If she hadn’t seen him last time, she really wouldn’t have recognized him so quickly.
But why was this man in S City, and in front of her hotel room?
She had too many questions, but he was unconscious now, so she couldn’t ask them even if she wanted to. Apart from this man, she was the only one around. Chi Shuyan could only swallow her questions and help him into her suite for the time being.
Although she had booked a suite, there was only one big bed. Chi Shuyan could only place the man on the bed and examine him.
Although he was unconscious, he didn’t have any injuries on him. She wondered if he had a fever, and placed her hand on his forehead; his temperature was normal, and he didn’t look like he had a fever at all.
Chi Shuyan sat by the bed and took the man’s pulse. She still didn’t discover any problems, so all she could do was take out a Nourishment Pill for him to take first.
There were no side effects at all from taking this Nourishment Pill. Instead, it was very good for the body.
After putting him on the big bed, she took off his shoes and pulled the blanket over his stomach. She then meditated on the couch on the side. Not long after, she remembered that she hadn’t cooked her instant noodles yet, so she got up and went to do that first.
After making the noodles, Chi Shuyan sat back on the couch and stared with a complicated expression at the unconscious man on the big bed. She thought for a moment, then got up and called Qi Hao.
Qi Hao picked up the call especially quickly, his tone as familiar and excited as ever. “Sister-in-law, is it you? I really miss you so much, Sister-in-law!”
After breaking up with Qi Zhenbai, Chi Shuyan had subconsciously cut down on contact with the Qi family, including Qi Hao. She was moved by Qi Hao’s excited tone, and missed him.
She wasn’t in a hurry to tell Qi Hao about Qi Zhenbai, but probed, “Where’s your cousin? Has he been okay recently?”
When Qi Hao heard his sister-in-law say “cousin,” he immediately knew who she was referring to. When he heard the latter half of her sentence, he thought that she knew something. He was very nervous and didn’t dare breathe loudly.
In fact, too many things had happened in his family recently, and it was very tragic.
For example, his cousin had suddenly fainted for no reason and was immediately sent to Longhu Mountain. Not long after he came back, he targeted their fourth uncle ruthlessly. It wasn’t just their fourth uncle; everyone behind him didn’t have a good ending.
What left the deepest impression on him was his cousin’s incomparably ruthless methods. Qi Hao saw with his own eyes how his brother threw the Zhuang woman, the rest of the Zhuang family, and a dead ‘expert’ in front of their fourth uncle, and made their fourth uncle watch helplessly as they were locked up in dog cages and tortured for three days and three nights until they were on the verge of death. After that, he had someone chop their bodies up and feed them to the dogs.
Before their fourth uncle died, the latter saw with his own eyes how Qi Zhenbai tortured the Zhuang family bit by bit. He was scared out of his wits. Even then, Qi Zhenbai didn’t let their fourth uncle off. After killing the Zhuang family, he also killed their fourth uncle not long after.
After Fourth Uncle died, Grandpa fell seriously ill, and so did First Uncle and First Aunt. Everyone thought that once Fourth Uncle died, Qi Zhenbai would let the rest of Fourth Uncle’s family off.
But in the blink of an eye, a few days later, Qi Hao heard of the deaths of Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt’s kids. He vaguely felt that it had most likely been his cousin’s doing.
When something happened to Fourth Uncle’s family, Grandpa even called his cousin to the study and scolded him.
It was just that his cousin had no expression from beginning to end, but the hostility around him had been very strong.
In short, his cousin completely destroyed Fourth Uncle’s family.
Qi Hao vaguely felt that there was something different about his cousin when he returned this time. In the past, no matter how serious his brother was, Qi Hao couldn’t help but subconsciously be close to him.
Now, however, just looking at his cousin made his legs tremble subconsciously with fear. It wasn’t just him; his father, Third Uncle, and even First Uncle were very afraid of his cousin.
He even vaguely heard First Uncle call him a lunatic.
These days, his parents repeatedly told him not to get too close to his cousin.
Qi Hao felt especially complicated and uncomfortable about the changes in the Qi family these days. He wanted to tell his sister-in-law about this, but didn’t know where to start. At the same time, Qi Hao was very worried about his sister-in-law’s safety, afraid that his cousin would cause her harm.
After all, his cousin seemed like a different person now, and had become especially terrifying.
The last thing Qi Hao wanted was for something to happen to his sister-in-law. He couldn’t help but want to warn his sister-in-law to stay away from his cousin. Occasionally, he would be very glad that his sister-in-law had broken up with his cousin. Otherwise, given his cousin’s current abnormal condition, he would really be worried about his sister-in-law’s life.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know what Qi Hao was thinking. Seeing that he didn’t speak for a long time, she probed again, “Do you know where your cousin has been recently?”
Qi Hao was silent for a while, but in the end still didn’t plan to tell his sister-in-law about what had happened at his house recently. He just replied, “Sister-in-law, I don’t know where my cousin went. I think I saw him go out a few days ago, and even booked a plane ticket!”
Chi Shuyan nodded and didn’t think much of it. She just thought that the other party had come to S City on official business. As for him suddenly collapsing at her door in the middle of the night, she was really baffled.
At that moment, Qi Hao suddenly said, “Sister-in-law, why are you suddenly thinking of my cousin? Did you see him?”
Chi Shuyan wanted to tell him that Qi Zhenbai was with her, but she was afraid that Qi Hao would immediately tell Grandpa Qi, Father and Mother Qi, so she simply said, “No, I’m just asking. By the way, has your cousin been okay recently?”
Qi Hao recalled that his cousin had indeed been fine after returning to the Qi family, but his personality had changed a lot. He shook his head and said, “It’s fine, Cousin is in good health!”
Chi Shuyan nodded. “Okay, I understand. I won’t say more, it’s late. Hurry up and sleep!”
Chi Shuyan was about to hang up, when Qi Hao suddenly said, “Sister-in-law, wait, I have something else to tell you!”
Chi Shuyan nodded in surprise. “Go ahead!”
“Sister-in-law, have you… made up with my cousin?” Qi Hao asked.
Chi Shuyan paused. Before she could answer, Qi Hao continued, “Sister-in-law, I mean, I mean, if you really don’t like my cousin anymore, you might as well find another suitable partner!”
Chi Shuyan was a bit surprised to hear Qi Hao’s words. After all, every time this kid called before, he wanted her to make up with Qi Zhenbai. However, she didn’t think much of it. She just thought that Qi Hao was especially worried about her and was even ignoring Qi Zhenbai over her. Chi Shuyan was quite moved.
This kid was really too considerate.
It turned out that after breaking up, she could still live quite well. She had also gotten over most of it now. As for finding a new partner, she really didn’t have such thoughts.
Even as she thought this, she said, “Okay, I understand. Don’t worry about me, worry about yourself. Tell me once you get a girlfriend.”
At the mention of a girlfriend, Qi Hao immediately found an excuse to hang up.
Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but smile and hang up.
After hanging up, Chi Shuyan’s eyes fell on the man on the big bed again. His eyes were closed, and his features were still very good-looking under the light. From any angle, there was a hint of sharp restraint in his profile.
She had seen this man’s face countless times before, but looking at him again now, he was still breathtaking and suffocating, making her unable to help but focus on his face.
It had to be said that this man was really d*mn good-looking. Chi Shuyan vaguely felt that it was most likely because this man was too good-looking that she had never met a man who looked better.
Chi Shuyan didn’t understand when she had become completely obsessed with looks. Back then, she didn’t have any thoughts or opinions about the man’s looks. It could only be said that a girl’s first boyfriend was very important, because he would be the measure by which she found another boyfriend in the future.
Chi Shuyan’s first boyfriend was too good. It would be too difficult for her to find another boyfriend after this.
Chi Shuyan looked at him for a while before she looked away. No matter how much she sighed in her heart over this man’s looks, she was well aware now that there was no longer anything between them. It was useless to look at him. She might as well focus on refining spirit tea to earn more money!
