Lincheng Private Hospital.
Inside a high-end VIP ward.
The sounds of things crashing and falling to the ground echoed repeatedly.
"Send Cui Ziqi to see me immediately!"
Cui Jiyang's furious voice came from inside the ward.
The ward door was not closed. As Cui Nan, wearing a hospital gown, stepped into the corridor, she heard Cui Jiyang's shout.
She turned the corner and entered Cui Jiyang's ward.
At a glance, one could see the mess in the room. Cui Jiyang sat on the bed with a flushed face, while Cui Ying and Cui Xuzhe stood on the empty space at the foot of the bed.
Cui Ying first saw Cui Nan standing at the door.
"aunt."
Cui Ying must have been frightened by Cui Jiyang, because her voice was low and soft.
She stepped forward to support Cui Nan and whispered in Cui Nan's ear, "Auntie, if you help Cui Ziqi again this time, you'll break Dad's heart."
Cui Nan knew.
Ziqi really went too far this time!
"You all go out, I'll talk to my older brother."
Cui Xuze's body was still recovering from the injury he suffered at the hands of Cui Ziqi, and he still had bandages wrapped around several parts of his body.
Cui Jiyang's face was ashen, and he remained silent.
Cui Ying stepped forward and helped Cui Xuzhe out of the ward.
The door closed.
Cui Nan walked to the stool next to the hospital bed and sat down. Her face was pale, and the cold white light in the ward shone on her thin figure. The heroic spirit she had shown earlier today had vanished from her.
"Big brother, I also bear some responsibility for this. Don't blame it all on Ziqi."
She kept her head down, still speaking up for Cui Ziqi.
Cui Jiyang didn't give her a kind look at all.
“I told you long ago, a woman like Xia Wan should just disappear! But you insisted on letting her see that madman’s true colors and forcing her to leave. Now you know how powerful that is, right? Xia Wan is a shameless slut. Now it’s not just me, but the entire Cui Group has been played by them!”
He was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth just thinking about those photos that appeared online!
I've lived this long and never suffered such a big setback before!
Cui Nan felt guilty because she hadn't stopped Zuo Cheng from taking those photos.
"Big brother, leave this to me. I'll bring Ziqi here to apologize to you."
Cui Jiyang snorted coldly, his cold eyes fixed on Cui Nan, "Nan Nan, haven't you accepted the fact that Cui Ziqi is a ruthless madman who doesn't recognize his own family? Or do you think that because you showed him some kindness in the Cui family, you can become an exception in his heart?"
Upon hearing Cui Jiyang's blunt and poignant question...
Cui Nan couldn't help but recall Cui Ziqi's sinister remark from before at Haiquan Apartment.
"Do you think you can escape, Auntie?"
Her face paled even more.
Honestly, during the years she lived in the Cui family, although Cui Ying and her siblings still treated him as a joke, they didn't dare to go too far because of her protection.
She thought Cui Ziqi would remember her kindness.
What a pity.
Just like my older brother said.
Cui Ziqi is a heartless, ruthless beast!
Secretary Zhong Yang knocked and entered, his brows furrowed. "President Cui, the matter of the photos has been suppressed, but there are suspicions that you and Fu Li have a shady deal. The police are conducting a routine questioning of you and are downstairs right now."
It is truly a disgrace for Cui Jiyang to be subjected to such sensationalist news at such an advanced age.
He clenched his fist and squeezed out two words through his teeth.
"very good!"
Cui Ziqi has really angered him this time!
...
Haiquan Apartment.
As soon as Xia Wan got home, she cleared out a space near the window in the living room.
She laid out the drawing paper and paints delivered by the art shop on the open ground, then set up the drawing paper, sat cross-legged on the ground alone, and began to paint.
Seeing that she was silent, Cui Ziqi did not disturb her.
Since the topic of his mother came up, the two have been engaged in an invisible contest.
Cui Ziqi didn't understand why Xia Wan insisted that he find his relatives.
He disliked Xia Wan interfering too much in his affairs, so he would absolutely not yield on this matter.
When Zuo Cheng arrived at Haiquan Apartment, Cui Ziqi led him to the study.
"Brother Qi, there's something a bit tricky. What happened to the demons was witnessed by a third party."
Cui Ziqi looked up at him, and his cold gaze sent chills down his spine.
He continued, "It's Su Meng, the cleaning lady who saved my sister-in-law last time. She happens to be working part-time cleaning at the Chimei today. She was forgotten because she was cleaning the toilets when Fu Li chased people away. She saw us when we were taking nude photos of Cui Jiyang."
"Has it been dealt with?" Cui Ziqi's voice was somewhat cold.
Isn't Su Meng appearing too frequently?
Zuo Cheng nodded. "It's all taken care of. I made her delete the photos, and the negatives were destroyed. She was yelling that she would call the police, but she quieted down after I threatened her."
Cui Ziqi sat on the sofa, leaning back in her chair, legs crossed, her sharp fingers twirling her phone.
He had delicate features, and his eyes were slightly lowered as if he was thinking about something.
A moment later, he spoke clearly, "Investigate this Su Meng thoroughly."
"yes."
Zuo Cheng then told Cui Ziqi about Zheng Minghuai's intention to seize the Cui Group.
Cui Ziqi's eyebrows finally relaxed, her eyes slightly upturned, and a few rays of excitement shone from them.
"I almost forgot, since I took Duan Shuangshuang's order, I should also do this for her."
What Duan Shuangshuang wanted was Zheng Minghuai's life.
Zuo Cheng was a little worried. After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up his courage and spoke to Cui Ziqi.
"Brother Qi, are you really going to kill Zheng Minghuai? Your wife probably doesn't want you to kill anyone."
Cui Ziqi fearlessly put away his phone and spoke to Zuo Cheng, but half of his mind was still on the painting area outside the study.
