Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 998: Holding Two Gold Bricks and Still Halfway
Qi Xili quickly opened the package and saw a letter at the bottom. He unfolded it and burst into swear words after reading it.
"Damn, that professor, why is he detaining my son? Is his daughter so ugly that she can't get married?"
"Well... Professor Lian's daughter is quite pretty." The security guard who delivered the package said awkwardly, touching his nose.
"Since he's so good-looking, why did you have to catch my Qi Lin? Does he have some hidden illness?"
“No…”
"Then you should give me a reason. It can't be that my son is good-looking, right?"
The other party was silent.
Qi Xili was stunned: "Damn, it's true, it's really disgusting! How old is that girl?"
"Twenty-nine..."
"Damn it, my Qi Lin is only twenty-one!"
"It's like a woman three years older than you holds a gold brick, and a man holds two, so it's still half."
"My Qi Lin hasn't agreed, right? If he agrees, he won't be my Qi Xili's son anymore."
"No." The guard was embarrassed, "So Captain Qi was detained by his instructor."
"You guys in Dijing are so overbearing and unruly?"
"Well, that's not the case... The main reason is that the professor is highly respected, his son died while on a mission, and his daughter is an old girl, so no one dares to force it."
"So you're going to sacrifice my son? What do you mean? You're going to detain him there and not allow him to be free until he can't stand it anymore and compromises?"
The other person's eyes flickered. "Not really. The main reason is that the girl is obsessed with it. If she can't get it, she will destroy it. If it weren't for Captain Xiao Qi's delay, I'm afraid this group of people would have to stay in the Imperial Capital."
Qi Xili was so furious that he wanted to rush over and rescue his son.
"Don't worry too much. Leader Qiu said before we came back that he would handle it. It just takes time. Please be patient."
Qi Xili pursed his lips, his expression obviously unhappy.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only accept it for now." Shen Yanming said in a low voice.
"My little Linzi hasn't come back yet, and I don't know how much suffering he has to endure over there!" Qi Xili said with a frown.
"Well, Captain Xiao Qi's treatment is quite good. He gets rice and flour every day, one piece of fruit and one meal of meat a week. He doesn't suffer."
"Oh, I'm talking about eating. I'm talking about the pain of separation from loved ones and being pestered by a woman I don't like all day. Alas, my poor son, you are young and should be enjoying love, but now you are being targeted by a toad."
"Well...actually Professor Qingchuan is quite outstanding." The guard said weakly.
Qi Xili couldn't bear to hear this and glared at the other party, who became silent.
"Well, now that we've delivered the message and the things, we're leaving now."
Qi Xili didn't like them and waved his hand to tell them to leave quickly.
Chen Yanming held the other person back and said, "Please wait a moment. I have something here that I would like you to take back to Dijing and give to Li Sikai."
The other person's eyes lit up, and he nodded and asked, "Are you Captain Shen Yanming?"
The corners of Shen Yanming's mouth twitched, thinking that he was already in his thirties or forties, so he couldn't be considered Captain Shen, right? But he still nodded: "Well, is it okay?"
"Yes, yes! General Li told us before we came here that if you have any needs, please let us cooperate with you. If not, please do not come to bother us."
Shen Yanming smiled, probably guessing what Chief Alliance Officer Li was thinking.
Qi Xili was stunned when he heard the conversation between the two. He knew that Old Shen had connections with Dijing, but he didn't expect that he was the most powerful one.
But he was a clear-headed person and just took Nuannuan away without asking any questions.
Shen Yanming took off his backpack and handed it to the other party: “The things are inside, you can take them in.”
The guard nodded and took the bag into the cabin. He took out the things inside and put them away, and then stuffed everything in a box in the cabin into the backpack. So after a long time of escorting, the bag became even heavier.
Shen Yanming raised his eyebrows after taking it, and the other party smiled foolishly and scratched his head.
He nodded: "Thank you!"
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. We should thank you!" Although he didn't know why he should thank them, since the leaders said so, he just did it.
After the conversation, Shen Yanming returned to Bi Qiaoan. Qi Xili looked at his backpack with a twinkle in his eyes, but he didn't ask anything. He even offered to go home first after the helicopter flew away.
Nuan Nuan was worried that something might happen to him, so she took his hand and asked, "Godfather, how about I go with you?"
Qi Xili shook his head: "My daughter, it's not convenient, you should go home. I will come to find you another day."
"It won't be inconvenient if I accompany you." After saying that, An An hugged Qi Xili's arm.
Qi Xili was deeply moved, and looked at Shen Yanming with pleading eyes.
What could Shen Yanming say? He could only smile and nod: "Is it necessary to go through so much trouble? Can't you just go home directly?"
Qi Xili: "Don't you need some time to deal with it, huh?" He pointed at the backpack with his chin.
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Let's go. It's not something shameful. We are a family, so we won't talk about that."
Qi Xili felt a warm current flowing through his chest, and he nodded with tears in his eyes: "Okay, thank you!"
"Hey, why are you being so polite? That's really unlike you!" Shen Yanming said with a grin.
Qi Xili's face darkened, thinking that he knew he couldn't treat Shen Yanming well, but his previous depression was gone.
When he got home, Shen Yanming couldn't help but continue stabbing Qi Xili in the chest.
"Look at you, you were planning to make Nuannuan your daughter-in-law. Now you have to face the reality. Your little Linzi is a man who attracts many women. Now that he has been targeted, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back without losing a lot of skin. Maybe when he comes back, he will already have a baby."
Qi Xili was upset and retorted with his neck stiff: "No, my Qi Lin said that he would come back and would not be with that woman."
"You never know what's going on." Chen Yanming clicked his tongue. "As the saying goes, a girl can easily win over a boy. Your little boy is young and full of vigor. What if..."
"I'm just afraid that he will be tricked by someone." Qi Xili rubbed his face, somewhat afraid to look at Nuannuan.
He also knew that no one could predict what would happen in the future. If Qi Lin really brought that professor back, how would he face Nuan Nuan?
"Don't look at my daughter, she's only eight years old!"
"Yes, eight years old for twenty-nine, no matter how you look at it, it's my Qi Lin who is at a disadvantage."
Shen Yanming: "......" Can it be considered like this? Forget it, since he is in such a bad mood, I will tolerate him this time.
"Well, you have a good relationship with Dijing?" Qi Xili held back for a long time, but still couldn't help asking.
"Well, it's okay." Shen Yanming said with a smile.
"Then can you please say hello over there and ask them to release my Qi Lin?"
Shen Yanming was dumbfounded, shaking his head and said, "Your little Linzi told you to wait, and I'm afraid that my move will disrupt his plan. And you also heard that Qiu Man knows about this. From what I know about him, he won't let that woman mess around. There may be other reasons for not coming back this time."
