After cheating on the big boss, they went on a dating reality show together. (45)
The online criticism was one thing, but Fu Jiu immediately sued Zhao's parents for defamation and spreading rumors.
Because this incident seriously disrupted online order, Fu Jiu, along with many medical staff, became victims. Therefore, the case was directly transferred to the public security authorities, and Zhao's father, who initially spread related rumors, was also criminally detained.
Thanks to the efforts of the legal team, the statute of limitations for the intentional injury case against Qi An'an has been extended, and Zhao Lin and his group of seven have also been criminally detained.
The internet is full of praise, everyone is just waiting for a good result.
Fu Jiu didn't want Qi An'an to be troubled by the past, so she would only mention the progress to her occasionally.
Qi An'an naturally wouldn't waste too much time on it. The main episodes of "Dream Love" were almost over, and her and Fu Jiu's CP was incredibly popular.
Qi An'an's main and secondary accounts are both gaining followers, and she can easily earn hundreds of thousands of yuan from any business deal she takes on, but they almost always require her to appear with Fu Jiu.
She would refuse any such condition outright.
Fu Jiu is already busy enough; there's no need for her to add more pressure to him.
Her parents caused a scene at Fu Jiu's hospital once, and it's said they were taken away by the police before they even saw her.
Qi An'an heard about it from a nurse she knew, and immediately called Qi Zilong.
She had no real familial bond with her younger brother.
Qi Zilong is a spoiled brat who thinks he can do anything despite having no real ability.
In a bar near the university.
Qi An'an walked into the private room and, sure enough, saw Qi Zilong's thin and tall figure. He was lying crookedly on the sofa, his face full of haggardness and vicissitudes.
"My dear sister, you've come."
Qi Zilong was the only one in the private room. As soon as he saw Qi An'an, he struggled to sit up, but because of the alcohol, he slid back down like a limp rag.
Qi An'an closed the door, walked up to him, and kicked him lightly. "Can't you speak properly?"
Hearing her calm voice, Qi Zilong's pent-up anger burst like an inflated balloon. He glared at her fiercely, "Qi An'an, how dare you come looking for me? Haven't you hurt me enough?"
"I hurt you?"
Qi An'an took a step back, looking down at him with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Qi Zilong reeked of cigarettes and alcohol, and there was also a sour smell of vomit on him; it was really disgusting.
Her parents had little sense of morality, but whenever Qi Zilong was involved, they would pay extra attention and follow his words as if they were sacred decrees.
"So which agency did you sign with? To become an internet celebrity, you're putting your family in such a terrible situation. Qi An'an, you're really something!"
Qi Zilong lay drunkenly on the sofa, loudly accusing, "Do you know what I've been through all this time? Everyone's been mocking me, saying I'm sucking your blood. Qi An'an, you really dare to say that! When have I ever sucked your blood? Buying a car and a house, isn't that what you should be doing? Who forced you to do that?"
From childhood to adulthood, whatever Qi Zilong wanted, his family would provide for him.
In his mind, taking things for granted had become a matter of course, and everyone in his family should dedicate everything to his future.
Including Qi An'an, if she doesn't give the money she earns to him, who else can she give it to?
Now that she's all grown up, she went on a TV show pretending to be pitiful and slandering her own family, yet she became an internet sensation and made a fortune.
She's using the Qi family, her parents, and her younger brother as stepping stones!
He'd seen plenty of internet celebrities who used their so-called "family of origin" to create hype, but he never expected to become a victim himself!
After Qi Zilong finished yelling, Qi An'an said, "I came here today to tell you to keep your parents in check. You should know that they listen to you. If they go to the hospital to harass Fu Jiu again, I won't be so polite."
She didn't argue with him at all, because she felt it was a waste of time.
Qi Zilong's rebuke went unanswered, which only fueled his anger. "Heh, Qi An'an, what else do you want? They are your parents too, and you won't even call them that. Do your fans know what kind of person you are? It wasn't easy for your parents to raise you, and in the end, you treat them like this. It's truly heartbreaking."
Qi An'an listened calmly, "Qi Zilong, don't you feel guilty saying these things? I've been a servant to the Qi family for over twenty years. The house you live in and the car you drive were all bought with my money. I've paid back everything, whether it was due or not. I really hate trouble, so I'm warning you again: tell your parents to stop harassing Fu Jiu."
Before Qi Zilong could speak, Qi An'an continued, "I watched you grow up, Qi Zilong. I know everything you've done."
In the next sentence, her speech slowed down, and the corners of her mouth even curled up slightly, the implication being quite clear.
Qi Zilong suddenly froze. "What do you mean?"
"Actually, you don't have any real problems, you just like to steal things. You still have that quirk, don't you? When you were a freshman, I went to the supermarket to bring you back—"
"Shut up! Qi An'an, you fucking shut up!" Qi Zilong jumped up! As if in a final burst of energy, his expression was fierce, but without a trace of shame or disgrace.
"I still have the video of you kneeling naked and begging for forgiveness, apologizing to the merchant."
Qi An'an's words ignited Qi Zilong's fury to its peak.
Qi Zilong picked up the wine bottle and smashed it at his feet with a loud crash. His eyes were red as he roared, "Qi An'an, I told you to shut up!"
Qi An'an knew very well that Qi Zilong was just a paper tiger.
She reached out and snatched his phone, and sure enough, she saw that it was recording a video.
In front of him, she deleted the video completely, tossed her phone aside, and then said with a fake smile, "Listen to me, go home and have a good talk with them. If I'm in a good mood, I might continue to send you money in the future."
Of course, she was just saying nice things.
Qi Zilong tried to push her, but she quickly dodged and retreated to the doorway.
The other party cursed, "Hypocrite! Qi An'an, you don't deserve to be my sister! Get out!"
Qi An'an: "..." Who wants to be that person?
After leaving the bar, she hailed a car and drove away.
However, what she didn't know was that as soon as she left, several men reeking of alcohol walked into Qi Zilong's private room, grabbed him, and beat him up.
Hearing his screams, a tall figure at the door closed the door behind him.
As he turned around, he lit a cigarette, the light from the lighter illuminating a haughty and aristocratic face in the dim light.
He turned his head and instructed the person next to him, "Tell him that a disobedient younger brother has no reason to exist."
"Young Master Qi, don't worry, we know what to do."
Qi Shen left expressionlessly, his head throbbing with pain, making him extremely irritable.
He's been having nightmares every day lately, and he feels like he's going crazy.
As he turned the corner, he seemed to see a familiar figure who called out to him, "Fu Jiu?"
The other person was wearing a mask and hat, and their figure looked a lot like Fu Jiu, but that person did not stop.
Qi Shen glanced back at the direction of the private room and inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.
He thought about the nightmare he had.
He dreamed that Fu Jiu became a murderer.
That's outrageous.
But... Fu Jiu did kill him.
Qi Shen stubbed out his cigarette and left in a daze.
——
Fu Jiu's place is feeling more and more like home. Qi An'an put the cake in the refrigerator, nestled comfortably on the sofa, and texted him to ask what time he would be back.
The message had just been sent when the door opened in the entryway, and Fu Jiu walked in.
Qi An'an lay on the sofa, smiling at him. "You're back! I was just about to ask when you were coming back. I bought a cake, shall we eat it together?"
"Hmm, in a good mood?" Fu Jiu walked towards her, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Once they were near the sofa, he pulled her into his arms and held her close.
She nodded against his chest, "Mmm!"
Fu Jiu lowered his head and kissed her lips. "Have you had dinner? Just eating cake isn't enough."
Qi An'an hadn't had a chance to eat yet, but she nodded guiltily, "I ate..."
Fu Jiu said, "Then have some more with me."
"good."
Qi An'an suddenly sniffed at him, "Did you just come back after surgery? The smell of disinfectant alcohol is particularly strong today."
Fu Jiu was slightly taken aback. "Hmm."
He had only gone to a bar with her, and when he came back, he changed his clothes and sprayed himself with disinfectant to cover up the smell of smoke and alcohol.
After that day, Qi An'an never heard of the Qi family causing trouble again.
But Qi Zilong was unusually obedient; he voluntarily dropped out of school and even apologized to Qi An'an online.
However, she did not respond at all.
She discussed it with Fu Jiu and wanted to retake the college entrance examination.
Fu Jiu naturally agreed and even asked someone to inquire about the registration process for her.
Now she spends most of her time studying at home, and her life is quite peaceful.
One night, Qi An'an was woken up by Xiao Hei and found that Fu Jiu was not by her side.
Little Black was shaking all over, trembling and unable to speak clearly, probably affected by Fu Jiu's emotions.
Qi An'an got out of bed and walked out of the room. In the living room, she saw that slightly hunched figure. He was leaning against the long bar counter, holding a glass in his hand.
The dim light shone on his profile, making him appear cold and aloof.
He was lost in thought, and only when she approached did he suddenly notice her and turn to look at her.
She stopped in front of him and raised her hand to touch his cheek.
His face was covered in sweat, and his short hair was slightly damp with sweat. His eyes, which were now gazing at her, were slightly red.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Qi An'an asked in a low voice.
He reached out and took her hand, trembling slightly. "Hmm, it's been a long time since I had a nightmare, I'm a little unaccustomed to it."
He might be a little obsessed; ever since he performed surgery on Zhao Lin, he has been dreaming of bloody scenes almost every night.
He just dreamt of her tombstone.
He tried to connect all the nightmares together, and the panic and fear enveloped him, making it hard for him to breathe.
Fu Jiu pulled Qi An'an into his arms forcefully, his breathing ragged and heavy. "Qi An'an, are you alright?"
Qi An'an gently patted his back to comfort him, "Of course I'm fine. With you here, how could anything happen to me?"
Fu Jiu's dark eyes were deep as he inhaled her scent. The suffocating feeling still lingered. He said in a low voice, "An'an, this is the second time you've entered my world."
Qi An'an's pupils trembled slightly, "Hmm?"
What does he mean?
Did he know?
"From now on, no matter what others say to you, if you don't like it, just treat it as nonsense. If anyone tells you to leave me, just tell me, understand?"
When Fu Jiusu's hoarse voice reached Qi An'an's ears, she realized that he was talking about breaking up.
"Okay, I understand. No matter who tells me to leave you, I'll treat it like bullshit." She gently pushed him away and asked with concern, "What nightmare did you have? Were you very scared?"
Fu Jiu nodded, pressing his forehead against hers, continuing to whisper, "Mmm, scared."
But he won't let that happen.
Qi An'an knew he wouldn't go into details, but the thought of him having such strong emotions over a nightmare made her curious, so she spoke up directly, "I want to know what nightmare you had..."
Fu Jiu ran her fingertips across her delicate cheek. "I dreamt that I killed someone."
Qi An'an was slightly taken aback. "Who did you kill?"
"Quite a lot."
"..."
"Hmm... Zhao Lin?"
Fu Jiu gently wiped the sweat that he had accidentally brushed onto her face with the back of her hand and nodded, "Mm."
Qi An'an then said, "How about this, next time if I find you having nightmares, I'll wake you up, okay?"
Fu Jiu chuckled, "Okay."
Qi An'an looked up and kissed him on the lips. "Can we go back to sleep now?"
"Mmm." Fu Jiu responded, then picked her up and carried her into the room.
——
It wasn't until two days later that Xiao Hei received feedback from the main system.
—There are unexplained fluctuations in information emanating from the target, which may be due to the influence of their will, triggering multiple storylines.
In short, he may have been traumatized, and some parts of the story after Qi An'an's escaped death came to mind.
Pray for peace and safety.
Did Fu Jiu remember his past as a serial killer?
He killed Zhao Lin and his group.
Therefore, her previous suspicions were reasonable. After her death, he somehow learned that she had been bullied and killed those who had bullied her.
