The television screen switched to a scene where the Zou father and son were being taken away by the police.
Because Zou Zhiping was still unconscious, he was carried into the police car by two policemen, a scene that looked serious yet somewhat humorous.
Retribution came so quickly.
Shi Xi looked slightly surprised, then scoffed softly.
"You went to the Zou family this time?" Qi Tingsong asked Shi Xi.
Perhaps out of concern that he had not fully recovered, Qin Budu did not take him out with him, nor did he tell them where they were going.
"Mm," Shi Xi said.
The fact that the Zou family father and son were imprisoned and that reporters arrived so quickly was clearly a deliberate act, intended to bring the matter into the public eye and prevent the Zou family from making any underhanded attempts to evade responsibility by claiming that the injury was unintentional due to intoxication.
In the end, major issues were downplayed, minor issues were ignored, or even completely forgotten.
—It was Qin Budu who did it.
I've heard that Master Qin can not only communicate with the Yin and Yang, but also with animals.
It seems to be true now.
Qi Tingsong shifted his gaze from the mud-covered Teddy bear on the television screen.
Seeing Shi Xi's slightly surprised expression, as if she hadn't expected to be caught so quickly, he knew that Shi Xi hadn't thought of this at all and thought it was some kind of coincidence.
Qi Tingsong did not intend to expose it.
"I'm going out tomorrow." As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Shi Xi. "Will you come with me?"
Where to?
"Buy jade," Qi Tingsong said.
It seems that because of what happened last time, Qi Tingsong's attitude towards him has been better than at the beginning, but it has always been lukewarm.
Shi Xi guessed that the other party probably approached him because they were embarrassed to trouble Ji Ruwen and Qin Budu, so he agreed.
"good."
Shi Xi stood up, straightened her clothes slightly, and then left Qi Tingsong's room.
...
Gan Sui remained expressionless as he waved the magic rope in his hand at the weasel that lunged at him.
The Dharma Rope, also known as the Dharma Whip, is a long whip. It is decorated with a dragon head and tied with a hemp rope about one meter long, which forms the body and tail of the dragon.
The magic rope is one of the weapons commonly used by Feng Shui masters, and it is also a signature weapon of the Gan family.
The next second, the weasel, which had been baring its teeth, was struck in the throat by the whip and died.
"Take care of it."
The yellow whip tip was stained with blood. Gan Sui frowned slightly, took out a handkerchief, and slowly wiped it clean.
After putting away the whip, he took out his phone and glanced at it.
At this time, Shi Xi should have just finished showering and was getting ready for bed. He already knew Shi Xi's schedule inside and out.
Gan Sui walked to a bright spot, cleared his throat, and then called the first contact in his contact list.
While waiting for the other party to answer, his third uncle, the one who had asked him for help from the branch family, came over—
"What are you doing here?" He patted Gan Sui on the shoulder. "You did a good job this time. I'll definitely thank you properly later."
The way he said it made it seem like Gan Sui was his subordinate, rather than him asking his nephew to clean up his mess because he wasn't capable of handling it himself.
Gan Sui frowned and took half a step back.
"No need for thanks."
“But… who are you?” Gan Sui looked apologetic. “My memory isn’t very good, and I don’t know much about the people who split up the family.”
The Gan family has produced many talented individuals throughout its history, ranking among the top in the Feng Shui world. However, by the time of their father's generation, their talents were generally average. Although the head of the family had slightly better talent, they were still unable to shoulder the responsibility, resulting in the Gan family's strength not being what it used to be.
It was precisely because the gap wasn't large that the Gan family had always been somewhat chaotic—
The branch family felt that the main family members were incompetent and had no right to be superior to them.
The main family was well aware of the other family's ulterior motives regarding the division of the family, but they could only barely suppress them.
The Gan family's uncles usually act under the Gan family's name, which is why Gan's father asked him to come and clean up the mess for this so-called third uncle.
Suppressing the arrogance of the branch family also serves as a message to them—
The main family has already produced an excellent successor, so everyone should behave themselves.
Being humiliated by a junior like this, the third uncle felt somewhat embarrassed.
But he couldn't beat Gan Sui, so he could only use his seniority to intimidate him, saying, "I am your third uncle."
He thought to himself, "This brat is just an illegitimate child, and he really thinks he's something special."
"So it's Uncle San." Gan Sui looked at him, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"Uncle, you'd better think twice before accepting a mission next time." Gan Sui glanced down at the unanswered phone. "After all, I'm not that free."
The implication is very clear—
Don't take on a job you're not qualified for.
Uncle San gritted his teeth. He had indeed overestimated himself this time, but Gan Sui's blatant disrespect still infuriated him.
That damn brat!
Noticing the note on Gan Sui's phone call screen, and recalling that the other party had recently been getting close to someone named Xu Youchu, Uncle San immediately became smug, as if he had found some leverage over him.
“…Nephew.” The man stepped forward. “I really didn’t expect this.”
Gan Sui was annoyed that Shi Xi wasn't answering the phone and didn't want to pay any attention to this shameless man.
He lifted his leg to leave, but unexpectedly the other person suddenly spoke with a sarcastic tone—
"Your father probably doesn't know you're a pervert who likes men, does he?"
He really is a bastard; he's disgusting.
Shi Xi: "..."
Should he hang up the phone and pretend he didn't hear it?
