Qi Shengzhi drove through the city amid the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers, and his car was as fast as a flash of lightning in the night sky.
His already fair complexion was almost pale, his eyes seemed to be fixed on the road ahead, yet they seemed to be completely lifeless, and even his usually rosy lips had lost all their color.
He kept cursing in his heart. This was all Old Man Qi's own fault. It was all his own fault. This was the retribution for Old Man Qi's stupidity and blindness!
But the hands holding the steering wheel couldn't stop shaking, and I had to use all my strength to keep the direction forward.
Qi Shengzhi hated himself in his heart for not living up to his expectations. He should have been extremely disappointed with Qi Mingyuan a long time ago. Why should he be so anxious about him now?
The servant on the phone was panicked and couldn't explain the reason, but Qi Shengzhi's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
Qi Mingyuan has always been in good health and claims to be stronger than many young people. This is also a strength that Qi Mingyuan has always been proud of.
How could such a healthy body suddenly collapse, and become unable to get out of bed so quickly?!
Qi Shengzhi had an answer in his heart, but he always thought that Qu Jingyun's dirty tricks would only be used on him. He didn't expect that one day they would be used on Qi Mingyuan.
He always believed that Qu Jingyun regarded Qi Mingyuan as her support for her livelihood in the Qi family, and would only find ways to flatter him. Apart from being greedy for his money, she would never have any bad intentions towards Qi Mingyuan's personal safety.
After all, if Qi Mingyuan was gone, there would be no one to stand in front of her and help her suppress Qi Shengzhi. She was no match for the grown-up Qi Shengzhi. I believe Qu Jingyun was very clear about this in her heart.
But the moment Qi Shengzhi received the call, he couldn't help but suspect that it was Qu Jingyun's doing.
He had already stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. Fortunately, it was late at night and there was no car on the road except for the occasional fireworks on the roadside. He was able to drive the car into the Qi family courtyard at lightning speed.
The servants opened the courtyard gate early in the morning and stood at the gate in the cold winter night, looking forward to Qi Shengzhi's return.
Qi Shengzhi parked the car, opened the door, and strode into the house. With a stern expression, he asked about the situation as he walked:
"Is he the only one at home? Where are Qu Jingyun and Qi Guangyao?"
The servant looked at Qi Shengzhi's expression and answered carefully:
"The Madam took the young master to the Kaiyuan Temple in the suburbs and said that she would burn incense and pray for the Qi family on the first morning of the New Year..."
"snort!"
Qi Shengzhi snorted coldly:
"Pray for the Qi family? I think she has done something wrong and is seeking peace of mind in front of the Buddha!"
The servants didn't dare to respond. They all knew that the eldest young master had been at odds with other members of the Qi family for more than a day or two. However, they didn't expect that the mistress and the young master were not at home today. Mr. Qi, who was working in the study, suddenly collapsed. The panicked servants had no choice but to contact Qi Shengzhi.
I didn't expect Qi Shengzhi to come back so quickly this time. It was a bit unexpected.
Qi Shengzhi walked towards Qi Mingyuan's original bedroom with a cold face, but the servant took him to a room next to the study and explained:
"Mr. Qi has been sleeping in this room all this time."
A strange look flashed across Qi Shengzhi's eyes.
What does this mean?
Qi Mingyuan and Qu Jingyun sleep in separate rooms?
Thinking that the two might have had a conflict, Qi Shengzhi's doubts deepened, and he immediately pushed the door open and walked in.
Qi Mingyuan was lying on the bed with a pale face. When he heard the movement at the door, his lifeless eyes turned twice and looked over. When he saw that it was Qi Shengzhi, a faint light flashed in his eyes and he said in a hoarse voice:
"...Why are you back?"
Qi Shengzhi pushed the door open with a heavy heart, and when he saw Qi Mingyuan could still speak, he breathed a sigh of relief and sneered:
"Oh, what's the matter? Are you disappointed that he's not your beloved son?"
Qi Mingyuan closed his eyes helplessly. He really didn't have the energy to argue with Qi Shengzhi. He could only look up at the servant who brought him in.
Qi Shengzhi took a step forward, blocking his questioning gaze, raised his chin to let the servant go out first, and said in a frivolous tone:
"If you hadn't been so adamant about not going to the hospital and lying here alone looking half dead, would you have scared people enough to call me in the middle of the night?"
"People are worried that you'll die alone in your bed, and you won't be able to explain yourself. So calling me back here at least gives me some evidence, right?"
Qi Mingyuan heard him keep saying the word "die" and wanted to sit up and hit him with a stick. Unfortunately, he didn't even have the strength to get up. He could only swallow his anger and hold his breath for a while before speaking:
"I'm not dead yet. You don't need to observe mourning. Go away."
Hearing him say this, Qi Shengzhi felt a pang in his heart, and a strange look flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to his usual playful expression:
"Tsk tsk, how boring! Don't you even look at who's with you right now? Save these cruel words for that mother and son!"
He originally thought that after he finished speaking, Qi Mingyuan would definitely scold him as usual, but today Qi Mingyuan just glared at him and didn't say much.
This made Qi Shengzhi feel even more strange, and his expression gradually became serious.
After thinking for a while, he asked in a low voice:
"What's wrong with you? Why don't you go to the hospital?"
Qi Mingyuan closed his eyes and didn't want to look at him, and replied in a muffled voice:
"It's normal for people to feel a little tired and out of sorts as they get older. Just rest for a couple of days and you'll be fine. There's no need to go to the hospital."
Qi Shengzhi turned his head and looked at the thick stack of documents on his bedside table, frowning:
"You fainted in the study, and you thought you were just a little tired? If you hadn't been found in time today and given a quick-acting heart pill, I'd probably be back to mourn you!"
"you!"
Qi Mingyuan opened his eyes angrily, but saw Qi Shengzhi's face full of anger, with panic in his eyes, and even a little fear.
He was stunned for a moment, and Qi Shengzhi's look seemed to strike his heart hard.
Qi Mingyuan hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly:
"You just won't talk to me properly..."
Hearing Qi Mingyuan's obviously slowed down tone, Qi Shengzhi's expression also changed. He bit the corner of his mouth stubbornly and said:
"When I spoke to you kindly, did you listen?"
Seeing Qi Mingyuan's puzzled expression, Qi Shengzhi sneered at himself. Perhaps he had never left a good impression on Qi Mingyuan.
But today was different. Qi Shengzhi put on a serious expression and said to him:
"I suspect your fainting is related to Qu Jingyun. She might have drugged you. Come with me to the hospital for a check-up!"
