"I also know about the genetic virus in your Shen family... Oh well, never mind."
Old Master Qi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a sharp light flashed in them: "No matter what kind of miracle medicine it is, it's not as important as my daughter."
"If you can find my daughter within three months, I will offer her the pill with both hands."
“I know that you have been wanting that miraculous medicine I have all these years. Originally, I wanted to keep that medicine to save my life, but now that I think about it, it seems unnecessary.”
Both family heads knew exactly what the other wanted. Last time, when they came, Old Master Qi only allowed them to make their requests, but deliberately didn't mention the pills.
This time, however, Old Master Qi was noticeably more anxious and even brought up the topic of pills.
His urgency clearly surprised Old Master Shen.
It seemed that his old friend's body was indeed nearing its limit, and this thought filled him with a deep sense of shared sorrow.
He was also worried that one day he would close his eyes and never wake up again.
He could deeply feel the urgency, unease, and fear of the old patriarch Qi.
therefore;
Grandpa Shen wasn't overjoyed at the opportunity to obtain the miraculous medicine.
Instead, he sincerely promised, "Old Qi, so many years have passed, and I dare not say that I can definitely help you find it. But I will do my best to search for it."
He dared not make any guarantees; the only thing he could do was to send out all the resources of the Shen family to search the entire world.
However;
This is the moment!
A cold voice rang out from behind: "Old Master Qi, I have a question. Even if your biological daughter comes back alive..."
"But the Qi family is also a den of dragons and tigers, and she has been missing for several years. She doesn't have a single trustworthy subordinate in the family. Can you protect your daughter?"
I don't know when!
Shen Bingyan appeared in the living room dressed in black. She stood there straight and suddenly spoke up to remind Old Master Qi.
However, when Grandpa Qi heard this, he misunderstood Shen Bingyan's meaning. He smiled and shook his head: "You child, you think too much."
"I know what you mean; her presence might cause resentment among her subordinates."
"But I'm not entirely without arrangements. I've trained a group of people for her. With those people keeping things in check, even if I suddenly pass away, those subordinates won't dare to rebel."
Grandpa Qi knew how much Grandpa Shen valued Shen Bingyan, and he was also aware of this young woman's abilities, so he didn't mind Shen Bingyan's sudden appearance interrupting their conversation.
Seeing that Old Master Shen did not interrupt.
Grandpa Qi waved to Shen Bingyan and said with a smile, "Over the past twenty years, I have spared no effort in raising my adopted daughter, and she is now capable of standing on her own."
"Given their deep sisterly bond, as long as she returns, I, her adopted daughter, will do my utmost to assist her."
"As you saw last time, she was so concerned about her sister's disappearance. She would have given her own life to save her sister."
“I remember once we received a message on the internet that someone who looked exactly like my daughter was being auctioned off underground overseas.”
Speaking of which.
Grandpa Qi seemed lost in some kind of memory, a satisfied look in his eyes, as he recounted, "The news hadn't been confirmed yet, but she rushed over as soon as she got the information."
"If it weren't for the people I sent in time, she would have almost died in that underground auction house."
"Over the years, besides helping me manage the company, she has been personally searching for her sister in various places abroad."
"She learned climbing, stealth, boxing, and firearms. She even went on an expedition with geologists to remote, uninhabited forests and dived into underwater caves. All of these things she did were to find her sister."
“Over the years, she has never given up, and I have witnessed all the sacrifices she has made.”
"So I'm pretty sure that if her sister comes back, she will not only step down as the acting heir without complaint, she'll even protect her sister with her life."
Shen Bingyan silently clenched her fingers, watching the trust in Old Master Qi's eyes as he looked at his adopted daughter, and her heart gradually cooled down.
She's already given such an obvious hint!
But even though Old Master Qi thought about his subordinates rebelling, he never suspected his adopted daughter.
The slight sympathy that had formed in Shen Bingyan's heart from watching Old Master Qi speak so earnestly was shattered again and again by the events recounted by Zhuangzhuang.
Finally, it collapsed with a loud crash!
She was initially hesitant about whether or not to...
Enough, enough. After her conversation with Old Master Qi, Shen Bingyan decided to keep the truth hidden.
She couldn't reveal the slightest hint of anything amiss; her adopted daughter was too good at acting, having completely won over Old Master Qi's trust over the past twenty-odd years.
Zhou Yi's mother died long ago!
Zhou Yi and Grandpa Qi were blood relatives, but they never developed a relationship.
Shen Bingyan dared not gamble with this trace of bloodline power on whether her biological grandson or her adopted daughter held more weight in Old Master Qi's heart.
These disappointments and thoughts were all processed in an instant; she, who was always aloof, never showed too much emotion in front of outsiders.
Therefore, even though she was disappointed, Shen Bingyan politely assured Grandpa Qi that she would do her best to find the person.
-
At this time, in Luzhou.
Thanks to Aunt Zhou's arrangements, the Su mother and daughter did not have an easy time in the detention center.
Before being sentenced, prisoners cannot leave the prison. They are kept in the city's detention center, which is dark and damp with no sunlight or windows. Thirty prisoners live in a small room of forty square meters.
Given their small stature, any woman in the detention center was stronger than them.
The first night the mother and daughter were locked up was filled with despair and fear.
At that moment, everyone in the room stared at the two newcomers, their cold and indifferent gazes instantly turning malicious.
It's as if another person in the world has suffered as much as they have, and they feel fortunate and comforted.
"Teach these two newcomers the rules here properly!"
"Received, thank you for your hard work, guard!"
After the guards finished handing over the prisoners and left, the malicious looks in their eyes became even more obvious.
The cramped room contained two shared beds, with fifteen people crammed onto one side. Each person had no room to turn over and could only sleep on their side.
The mother and daughter closed their eyes and felt dozens of green eyes surrounding them, slowly enveloping them as if radiating malice.
This sixth sense made Su Qingjiao, who was pressed against the bed, get goosebumps and her heart pound violently.
