Five years ago, a conspiracy led to an unexpected pregnancy, a city-wide manhunt, and homelessness.
In despair, she fled to another country.
Five years later, she made a grand return wi...
Qi Jun nodded, that's why he didn't dare to take the risk. If the other party really did something to him, he couldn't afford to pay the compensation.
"Boss, do you all know about this?" Mao Qihang asked with his eyes wide open.
Li Hanting raised his eyebrows and responded with silence.
Suddenly, Mao Qihang yelled, "You all knew this, but you didn't tell me... Don't you think this hacker is super cool? No, I want to worship him as my big brother. Don't stop me. If you stop me, I'm not a good friend anymore."
Peng Zihao sneered: "You talk as if you've found the person."
"That's fine. It doesn't stop me from admiring this boss. Do you have any news? Third Brother, you..."
"Stop." Before Mao Qihang could even open his mouth, Qi Jun immediately rebuffed him: "Don't have any evil thoughts. I'm planning on hiding from this plague god!"
Mao Qihang opened his mouth and seemed particularly impatient.
Peng Zihao held him back to prevent him from jumping around again.
Seeing him like this, Li Hanting's eyes suddenly flashed, and he opened his thin lips slightly: "You said, you want to transfer the horse farm back to China?"
"Yes, there's nothing I can do about it. The latest competition of the year is about to start, and I'm unsure about it. I don't dare to place a bet abroad."
Seeing the other two people's gazes fixed on him, Qi Jun forced himself to defend himself, "Aren't you afraid of being implicated? Don't you know how chaotic things are abroad right now?"
"No need to give it to yourself anymore, uh...why are you twisting it?" Mao Qihang just opened his mouth when his mouth was covered by Peng Zihao who was sitting next to him.
The only sound in the box was his unwilling grunting sound, bursting out of his throat.
"Will you develop in the country in the future?" Li Hanting put down his wine glass and asked lightly.
"I have this idea, but you also know..." Qi Jun spread his hands, and his unfinished words revealed a bit of helplessness.
The two people who were fighting over there had stopped twisting their bodies at some point.
Mao Qihang had some free time, so he asked, "Are you planning to hold this year's competition in China? Have you chosen a location? Do you want Mr. Mao to represent you? I know a lot of places!"
"Is it in Jiangcheng?" Peng Zihao asked.
"Jiangcheng is too small." Qi Jun said.
"How about the coastal area, that place called something like "zhou"? I'm telling you, I've been there, the scenery is really nice. We'll just rent a venue. Let's finish the game first, then we can build one later."
"Hey, Mr. Mao, when did you become so wealthy?" Peng Zihao acted as if he had just met Mao Qihang.
Mao Qihang patted his chest and said: "I will devote my life to my friends without hesitation."
"Did you use the wrong word?" Peng Zihao said.
Time passed quickly as these two people played and bickered.
When I came out of the bar and was blown by the cool breeze outside, the intoxication caused by alcohol immediately sobered me up a lot.
Li Hanting stopped, took Qi Jun's lighter and lit a cigarette.
Under the flickering neon lights, the man's cold and hard face was reflected, hidden in the darkness. Even though it was difficult to see clearly, it was still impossible to block the strong and intimidating aura emanating from him.
"Have you thought about it?" he asked.
Qi Jun looked at Mao Qihang, who was too drunk to stand up and was being held by Peng Zihao's arm. He finally managed to stop a car and was rudely stuffed in. Then, Peng Zihao turned around and waved at them, indicating that they should send Mao Qihang back first.
Qi Jun chuckled and said, "I've had this plan since a long time ago. You know, it was easy to go abroad at first, but now I want to come back, but it feels like this place doesn't really belong to me."
"If we put this relationship aside," Li Hanting flicked the ash from his cigarette, "you are you. Whether you return or not is up to you. No one can interfere!"
After saying this, Li Hanting threw away the cigarette in his hand, patted Qi Jun on the shoulder, and walked directly towards his car.
Qi Jun was left standing there for a long time without moving. He thought about what the man said, and after a while, a chuckle escaped from his chest.
He was narrow-minded and took that family too seriously.
In fact, he has been independent for many years.
——
The new sunshine shines on the earth again, awakening the noise of the city.
Xia family.
There was a knock on the door, almost as loud as the knocker's fingertips fell.
The door was immediately opened from the inside.
Xia Wei's thin and obviously haggard face looked at the visitor eagerly, "Mom, how is it? Did you find that person?"
Bai Fangzhen missed her and entered the room.
Xia Wei immediately closed the door and followed her, repeatedly asking, "What happened? Is what Mrs. Wu told you true? Did that top hacker really come to Jiangcheng?"
Bai Fangzhen sat down on the only stool in the room, looking at her once beautiful and charming daughter, who had withered in just one day, like a withered flower. The pain in her heart softened a lot.
"First, tell me, how did you deal with the man in the video?"
Xia Wei lowered her head, looking extremely embarrassed, but she didn't break down and scream. "I was drunk. I thought it was Zhao Rui. After we had a fight, he came back to comfort me... But I didn't expect that when I opened my eyes the next day, it would be a stranger..." At this point, Xia Wei raised her head and said, "But I gave him money, 200 million yuan as hush money, and he also promised me to pretend nothing happened."
"I'm saying, are you stupid? It was clearly that person who took advantage of you, and you still gave him money?" Although she knew that this matter was not simple, Bai Fangzhen still couldn't help but get furious after hearing it.
"Mom, you don't understand. I can't leave Zhao Rui. All the time I've spent on him over the years, and the youth I've wasted... all my energy. Mom, please help me, help me." Once she started, Xia Wei couldn't control herself.
Thinking about what happened at the banquet is still a nightmare to this day.
In all these days, Zhao Rui hadn't called her once, nor had he listened to her explanation. Xia Wei was in agony. Only her father was running around for her, but the news he brought back was that the Zhao family was not far away from breaking up.
Xia Wei couldn't allow such a thing to happen. Not to mention how others would view her, she was also very unwilling to accept the efforts she had made.
"What's with that video?" Bai Fangzhen asked after taking a deep breath.
Xia Wei's eyes were blurred with tears and she could only shake her head. She didn't know what was going on. At that time, she just wanted to give money to shut the person up so that she could pretend that nothing had happened.
Bai Fangzhen sighed deeply, "Alright, stop crying. We've already contacted that person. Now it all depends on what they'll do."
"Mom, is it true?" Xia Wei raised her head and asked hopefully.
