Cheng Weiguo's face turned ashen: "The blind fool you're talking about is me!"

Qi Zhao was immediately embarrassed: "Grandpa Cheng, this..."

Su Ruyi snorted coldly.

She now seriously doubts how Qi Zhao, with his limited intelligence, managed to amass such a large fortune.

Or is it really like what others say, just good luck that I happened to be there?

He was lucky; he was like a pig caught in the wind, blown to the sky.

Seeing that Su Ruyi still dared to defy him, Qi Zhao rushed forward again: "You liar! You still dare to defy me?! Let me tell you..."

Su Ruyi slapped away his finger pointing at her pen: "Let me guess—all the information you got came from your cousin, right? Haven't you ever considered that what your cousin said might be a lie?"

"How could Sister Yaqin lie to me?!" Qi Zhao didn't believe it.

“Under normal circumstances, she probably wouldn’t lie. But after her father died of anger, she wanted to find someone to take the blame,” Su Ruyi said, glancing at Qi Yaqin.

Qi Yaqin was not to be outdone. She rushed in front of Su Ruyi and shoved Qi Zhao aside, saying, "You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting?! Shut your mouth!"

“Every word I’ve said has witnesses and evidence.” Su Ruyi raised her chin. “Your father actually had many chances to live, but you ruined them all. If he knew this in the afterlife, he probably wouldn’t forgive you!”

"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Qi Yaqin roared in fury.

"Smack!"

Qi Yaqin received a slap on the face.

She stared in shock at Cheng Weiguo, who had hit her, and was dumbfounded: "Old man Cheng, how dare you hit me?!"

"Your father never taught you how to be a decent human being, so I'll teach you today!" Cheng Weiguo said, panting heavily after delivering the slap. "Anyway, we're all on the same side, which is better than letting those people from outside Beijing teach you how to be a decent human being!"

Qi Yaqin turned around, instinctively wanting to find her father for support, but then she remembered—her father was gone.

The morning after the father and daughter had a big fight, Qi Yaqin received a phone call from Xiao Cong announcing the death of her son.

She was indeed extremely panicked when she heard the devastating news.

When she told Xia Tianxiu to pack her luggage, her voice was trembling.

Summer Show was also clearly stunned.

In a panic, Qi Yaqin told Xia Tianxiu about her argument with her father.

Unexpectedly, Xia Tianxiu firmly said, "Mom, how could you have angered Grandpa to death? Grandpa must have been ruined by that young doctor!"

This sentence awakened Qi Yaqin.

They're shifting the blame!

That Su Ruyi, her backer is just Cheng Weiguo. If he pushes her into this situation, she can only accept it with tears in her eyes!

However, she did not expect that Cheng Weiguo would actually turn against her for the sake of a junior doctor.

You must know that you represent the Qi family of Beijing!

Qi Yaqin never truly understood that the Qi family in Beijing was essentially just Qi Yuan. Without Qi Yuan, she and her brother, both middle school teachers, were nothing.

Qi Yaqin then looked at Qi Yasheng.

Surely her older brother wouldn't abandon her?

Under her laser-like gaze, Qi Yasheng had no choice but to walk up to Cheng Weiguo.

In that instant, Qi Yaqin hoped her brother would fight back, but she was also afraid that he would cause trouble.

Just as she was in a dilemma, she heard Qi Yasheng say, "Grandpa Cheng, you have disciplined my father well. On behalf of my father, I thank you."

Qi Yaqin was dumbfounded.

Before she could react, Qi Yasheng grabbed her arm and pulled her aside.

Qi Zhao still stood there with his neck stiff: "Do you think that just because there are more people, you can turn black into white?"

"Xiao Zhao! Do you remember me?" In the distance, a dark-skinned, fat man ran over, panting.

"Uncle Wang?" Qi Zhao asked in confusion, "You're Uncle Wang?!"

"It's me, child!" The man who ran over was none other than Chef Wang Changping. Before he even got close, tears were already streaming down his face.

Upon reaching the crowd, he roared, "Where's Yaqin? Get out here!"

Qi Yaqin stepped forward tremblingly.

Wang Changping stepped forward and swung his arm around it—"Smack!"

That slap was both crisp and vicious.

Qi Yaqin staggered from the blow, and five finger marks appeared on her face, burning hot.

This slap was much heavier than Cheng Weiguo's intimidating slap.

Qi Zhao, who was standing nearby, became anxious: "Uncle Wang, let's talk this out!"

“Speak properly?!” Wang Changping glared at him fiercely. “What is there to talk about with this rebellious daughter who killed her own father?!”

"Uncle Wang, what... what exactly is going on?" Qi Zhao finally realized that something was wrong.

Along the way, the news he heard from Qi Yaqin and Xia Tianxiu was that Qi Yuan refused to listen to advice and insisted on trying a strange Chinese medicine from a quack doctor, which led to his condition getting worse and worse, and in the end, he died far from home.

However, upon arriving at Fangchi, they discovered that everyone there seemed to believe that Qi Yaqin was the murderer who killed Qi Yuan.

Was I really being used as a pawn by Qi Yaqin?

Wang Changping sighed, "When Lao Qi first arrived, I came to see him and gave him Dr. Su's special medicine. As long as he took it on the prescribed days, he would get better. But our niece Yaqin, being so clever, insisted that the medicine I gave him was poisonous and refused to let Lao Qi take it!"

"What?! Sister Yaqin, is it really... true?" Qi Zhao was stunned.

"How was I supposed to know the medicine was a gift from Uncle Wang!" Qi Yaqin once again shirked responsibility.

“Aunt Qi, I was right next to you when the commander told you that the medicine was delivered by Wang Changping.” Xiao Cong appeared out of nowhere and stared coldly at Qi Yaqin.

"You..." Qi Yaqin was exposed on the spot and immediately became furious. "Xiao Cong, I didn't cause you any trouble, yet you dare to come and mess with me?! Your job is to protect my father's safety, have you protected him?"

“I can only protect the leader’s safety, but I can’t stop his daughter from arguing with him on the phone for over an hour! You know perfectly well that the leader needs to be treated the next day and needs to be calm. I don’t know why you had to argue with him at this critical moment,” Xiao Cong said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

He harbored resentment towards Qi Yaqin. Qi Yuan's departure was too sudden, and those who had followed Qi Yuan closely would be left without prior arrangements, with no one daring to employ them and only given sinecure positions, leaving them with no room for advancement.

Xiao Cong's future was ruined, so naturally he didn't want to let Qi Yaqin go.

He continued, "Dr. Su came three times in total, but he couldn't see the leader any of the time. That's because each time Dr. Su came, Aunt Qi was arguing with the leader, making him extremely agitated and unable to accept treatment. I have detailed records of all these events; you see—"
