Qi Jie did not reply for a long time. Although Yu Anning was worried, she did not want to urge him and could only wait patiently. A month later, Qi Jie finally replied. This boy was indeed a rigorous science genius. He was very meticulous in his work. The email he sent contained many photos and information.
“I hired a private investigator. They are more professional than me. This is Li Qiqi’s daily life over the past month. It’s all in the emails. You can see for yourselves. I will not comment on Li Qiqi.”
Qi Jie spoke calmly. He didn't go to the city where Li Qiqi was studying. He was too busy doing experiments to have the time and energy for that. Hiring a private investigator was the most time-saving and labor-saving option.
"You haven't had any contact with Li Qiqi?" Qi Wenyuan asked in surprise.
"no need."
"She's practically your sister, so it's only right that you take some time to visit her." Qi Wenyuan glanced at Yu Anning, a little worried that she might be angry.
Yu Anning shook her head to indicate that she was not unhappy. Qi Jie was fine as he was. She was a stranger to this child, and it was good enough that he didn't bother her. Why force him to get close to the even more unfamiliar Li Qiqi?
"I don't have time, the experiment is very urgent. Are you alright?"
Qi Jie's tone remained calm and unhurried, revealing no change in his emotions. However, he had always been like this; even when unhappy, he would simply read silently. Qi Wenyuan had never seen his son angry, nor had he ever been overjoyed or surprised. He felt that his son was an emotionless robot.
"It's alright, you can go back to your work."
Qi Wenyuan felt somewhat frustrated. His son's independence wasn't a good thing either. He felt like he, as a father, had no role to play. Ever since his son started junior high, he hadn't needed any help from the adults. He handled everything himself. By high school, he didn't even have to worry about the tuition. Universities in the US are very expensive, and many families can't afford them. So, there are many college graduates in the US who are still paying off their student loans even after working for twenty years.
But Qi Jie didn't have this concern. He received a full scholarship, which not only covered his tuition but also his living expenses. In addition, Qi Jie published papers from time to time, so he was financially well-off and didn't need Qi Wenyuan to worry about a penny.
"Xiao Jie is so sensible."
Yu Anning sincerely praised Li Qiqi, saying that she would be happy even in her dreams if Li Qiqi were half as sensible as Qi Jie.
"They're too sensible; I don't feel a sense of accomplishment."
Qi Wenyuan shrugged and opened the email. It contained many photos of Li Qiqi with her friends. But what shocked Yu Anning was that Li Qiqi in the photos had changed from her simple attire in China. She was wearing a revealing tank top and shorts, with a nose ring and earrings, and heavy makeup, looking like a delinquent.
The friends who were with Li Qiqi were just like delinquent youths.
"One who stays near ink gets stained black." It's no wonder Li Qiqi can't learn anything good by being around people like that.
There are also many photos of Li Qiqi having fun with a group of people at night, clearly in a nightclub. They are even drinking and there are some things that look like cigarettes, but the people look very drunk, so it is obviously not cigarettes.
“It’s Dama. Many teenagers over there smoke this. Anning, Qiqi is in danger right now. If this continues, she will be sent back to school,” Qi Wenyuan said seriously.
The middle school Li Qiqi attends is quite good in the area. These delinquent youths are clearly not students at the school, and it's unclear where Li Qiqi met them. If she continues to waste her time like this, she will be expelled sooner or later.
