Chapter 243: Just as ungrateful as you

Qi Wang always says he is obedient, but Chi Yuan is not completely obedient either.

She no longer said she wanted to look around like before, nor did she feel bored, because she had a lot of work to do every day, and the investigation work was not easy, so she would not take it lightly.

Finally, after a week of investigation and review, Chi Yuan confirmed that Qi Ye had laundered most of the gray assets and transferred them abroad.

And the place where the funds flowed was...Shanghai's Artificial Intelligence Research Institute.

It’s hard to imagine that Qi Ye would have any connection with that place.

After finding out, Chi Yuan naturally wanted to report it to the police immediately to directly cut off Qi Ye's possibility of traveling abroad.

But Qi Ye received news at this time.

He didn't tell Qi Wang, but contacted himself directly.

"Yuanyuan, I know it's you. You are investigating me."

It's normal that her skills couldn't escape the eyes of the research institute.

Knowing that Qi Ye's next words were a threat, Chi Yuan didn't intend to pay any attention to them.

Some people become more interesting the more you pay attention to them.

Before blocking the number, she still received the message.

"Don't forget, Grandpa is still at the old house. No matter how I told you to go home, you refused to come home. Since you insist on having your own way, I will also be frank. I don't know how long Grandpa's illness will last. You must come back to see him for the last time."

His words were not direct, but Chi Yuan knew clearly that he was threatening Mr. Qi's life.

But she still didn't reply.

Qi Ye’s goal was to get them to go back to the old house.

The more he wished, the more she refused to go.

But during the following working hours, Chi Yuan couldn't calm down.

She didn't tell Qi Wang about this until he came back from the meeting.

"Call the police?"

Chi Yuan had already anticipated Qi Wang's answer.

He might still care about Mr. Qi, but she wasn't sure whether this would interrupt his plans.

Qi Wang is not cruel enough, but Qi Ye is a heartless man. If they don't return to the old house, Qi Ye might really kill Grandpa Qi.

"Of course, but leave calling the police to me."

He answered decisively without any hesitation.

Either he doesn't care about the old man's life at all, or... he has other plans.

Chi Yuan still prefers the latter.

It would be the same no matter who calls the police, so why did Qi Wang have to call the police himself?

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Chi Yuan chose to believe him.

There is no doubt about the affection and trust between them.

Afterwards, Chi Yuan blocked Qi Ye’s phone number.

"However, we do have to find an opportunity to pick up Grandpa."

Qi Wang tilted his head: "How about tonight?"

It sounded like a question, but he was obviously certain that he would agree.

"Although it sounds a bit hasty, I think some things should be resolved as soon as possible."

Finally, it was Qi Wang who called Qi Ye and expressed that he accepted his invitation tonight.

Qi Wang has always disdained hypocritical dealings, and the conflict between him and Qi Ye is well known to everyone.

But at this moment he continued speaking along with what the other party said.

"But let me be clear first. I hope Grandpa can have dinner with us. This request is not too much, right?"

Qi Ye agreed immediately and didn't say anything more.

There is no better way to get involved than this.

Even if it's dangerous, she wants to try it.

After get off work, the two drove to the old house.

Chi Yuan couldn't remember how long it had been since he last went back to that villa.

"Are you scared?"

Qi Wang's light voice was blown away by the wind, as if he was asking Chi Yuan, or as if he was asking himself.

"With you here, I'm not afraid."

To be honest, Chi Yuan was afraid of death, but not for himself, but for his family.

After her death, the people who suffered the most were those who cared about her.

But as long as the man is by her side, her heart can be at peace.

They can come back safely.

It was not yet seven o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the villa.

But the sky tonight was different from usual, it was an abnormal red.

There are always a few days in a year when the sunset will be like this, but today happened to be the day, and Chi Yuan was even more nervous.

The two walked to the gate and it opened automatically.

It is a silent welcome.

They held each other's hands tightly and walked into the old house...

The only people at the table were Qi Ye and Old Man Qi.

That’s right, both Madam Qi and Madam Qi are in jail, and Qi Yu is also under investigation. This huge villa is now in a cold and deserted state.

"Awang, Yuanyuan, please sit down. Our family hasn't eaten for a long time."

Mr. Qi sat at the head of the table.

He looked fine, but he didn't say anything when he saw the two people coming.

Chi Yuan inexplicably felt very uncomfortable.

"If you count Yuanyuan, our family has never eaten together."

Qi Ye didn't care about his counterattack and just greeted him warmly.

"Then eat now."

Chi Yuan looked at the colorful dishes on the table, not knowing whether he should pick up his chopsticks.

Invite them to dinner without saying anything? Could the food be poisonous?

None of them knew medicine, and they couldn't make a judgment.

But Qi Wang was more direct and didn't give face.

"We're already here, so there's no need for polite words. Just keep the food for yourself." Qi Wang propped up his chin with both hands. "We came here today to take Grandpa back to my place. I heard that Grandpa is sick and has not shown any signs of recovery. I want Uncle Qin to take care of him personally. I can feel more at ease if I can see him with my own eyes."

Qi Ye also put down his chopsticks: "You mean, I didn't take good care of him, Qi Wang, Nong, don't forget, whose fault is it that grandpa is seriously ill!"

Whose fault is it...Qi Ye was referring to Qi Wang's resignation from the Qi Group.

"It's my fault, so I want to take him back to Guibai Road and take good care of him. That's kind of making up for it, Grandpa. What do you think?"

From beginning to end, Mr. Qi didn't say a word.

It’s impossible for Mr. Qi to remain silent...especially when it comes to such an important matter.

How seriously ill is he?

Hearing this, Mr. Qi just waved his hand, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Even stranger.

"It seems that Grandpa doesn't care where he lives. Qi Wang, I don't want to. Do you want to take him away by force?"

The threat was obvious enough.

Chi Yuan stood up, walked to Mr. Qi's side, and asked tentatively: "Grandpa, why don't you speak?"

Only when she got closer did she discover...there were faint scratches on Mr. Qi's throat.

Do you not want to talk or... can't you talk?

"I've already said it, it's Qi Wang's fault. He made Grandpa sick out of anger. After he went abroad, Grandpa became even more ill. His throat was injured, and he might never be able to speak again."

Some people may believe this reason, but Chi Yuan will not.

"I have no doubt that it's you who made Grandpa speechless."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ye laughed non-stop, with a hint of madness.

"Me? Do you have any evidence? Chi Yuan, you are still as ungrateful as before. If you had just stayed home and eaten your meal, I would have let you go. But you insist on making trouble, then go to hell."
