When Ruan Qingan and Qin Xi returned to the Qin family villa, the entire villa was in complete chaos. The unconscious security guard was also discovered, splashed with water, and then called to the backyard for a reprimand.
Soon, the news of Qin Xi's disappearance spread far and wide, even alarming Qin Cheng, who had been extremely busy lately, and he rushed back.
"Sir, we still can't get through to the young master by phone; there's no response at all!"
"Sir, the phone signal tracing system can't find the young master either!"
As he listened to the news reported by his subordinates, Qin Cheng's expression grew increasingly grim.
He was pacing back and forth in the living room, saying, "These were originally created by Qin Xi. As long as he doesn't want us to find them, how can we possibly find him through these things?"
Seeing that Qin Cheng had a headache, the butler carefully stepped forward: "Young Master said before that he wanted to go out for a walk. I'm afraid this time he's just going out to play. You don't need to worry, he will definitely be back soon."
Qin Cheng was certainly aware of this, but he was more worried about Qin Xi. Qin Xi's physical and mental condition was extremely poor. What if he ran away this time and couldn't be controlled in the future? What if something happened?
Just as he was getting anxious, the person guarding outside rushed in: "Sir, sir! Young Master and Dr. Ruan have returned together!"
"What?!"
Qin Cheng didn't even have time to react. He staggered a step and ran out, where he saw Ruan Qing'an and Qin Xi getting out of the car.
Before Qin Xi could speak, Qin Cheng strode forward, grabbed Qin Xi's hand, and looked her up and down: "Are you alright, Qin Xi? Where did you run off to? Do you know how dangerous that was!"
"If something happens to you, if you fall ill or get injured outside, what am I, as your father, supposed to do!"
Judging from his tone, it sounded as if Qin Xi wasn't twenty-one, but twelve.
Seeing this, Ruan Qing'an couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Qin Cheng wasn't worried about Qin Xi getting into trouble at all; he was clearly afraid that Qin Xi wouldn't stay in the Qin family obediently in the future.
Ruan Qing'an could understand the unspoken meaning, and Qin Xi, being intelligent, naturally understood it as well. For a moment, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he had no interest in playing the father-son sympathy game with Qin Cheng.
He frowned and said, "It's nothing, I just went out to play for a while. I'm going back to rest now."
Seeing Qin Xi preparing to leave with a displeased expression, Qin Cheng's face darkened even more. He couldn't help but look at Ruan Qing'an: "Dr. Ruan, who allowed you to take Qin Xi out without my permission!"
"Uncle Qin, Young Master Qin Xi's illness has eased up a bit now. As long as there is no major stimulation, it will not relapse for the time being. Naturally, walking around more will be more beneficial to his recovery."
"Walk around more?!"
Qin Cheng raised his voice, his face icy: "Dr. Ruan, this area around the villa is so big. I've not only fenced off the horse farm and garden, but there's nowhere I can't go?"
In front of Qin Cheng, Ruan Qing'an maintained the same gentle and proper demeanor as when they first met: "Uncle Qin, after all, Young Master Qin Xi has been here for twenty-one years. There's no harm in him going out more often."
“All your treatments should be approved by me. You are not allowed to do such things on your own again. If something happens to someone from the Qin family, you cannot bear the responsibility.”
Qin Cheng snorted coldly, his attitude clearly quite aggressive, not giving an inch.
Just then, Qin Xi stood in front of Ruan Qing'an, his eyes darkening. "Father, I wanted to go out on my own. Don't involve other people."
Even Qin Xi said so, and Qin Cheng was so angry that he couldn't stop trembling, but he couldn't do anything about Qin Xi. He didn't want to have a direct confrontation, lest it affect Qin Xi's illness.
Finally, Qin Cheng chose to back down and waved to the butler behind him.
The butler quickly stepped forward, the servants dealt with the broken glass and the mess left by Ruan Qing'an when he hit someone, while the security personnel drove the sports car into the garage.
With Qin Xi's firm stance, Qin Cheng had no choice but to make trouble, and the matter was dropped.
But as Ruan Qing'an walked past Qin Cheng, the middle-aged man lowered his voice, as if afraid that Qin Xi would hear him.
"Dr. Ruan, let me remind you one last thing: your job is only to treat patients and ensure that Qin Xi does not develop any serious mental illness."
"Otherwise—I could easily fire you, and if you still don't listen to advice, I can easily make sure you can't stay in this business!"
After saying that, Qin Cheng left. Watching his departing figure, Ruan Qing'an's leaden gray eyes darkened slightly.
037: [This old geezer doesn't look like a decent person at all...]
"Hmm, little system, you actually said something that makes sense."
[I just feel that although you, my ancestor, are a hopeless villain, he's clearly more hateful!]
Ruan Qingan paused: "Are you insulting me or not?"
Hearing that sinister laugh, 037 only dared to be so audacious once, and then cowered and shut his mouth again.
...
The next day, Qin Xi came down the stairs. Perhaps because he had been having a crazy night with Ruan Qing'an, the dark circles under his eyes had improved.
Qin Cheng was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper. When he saw Qin Xi, he asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"As long as you're alive, there's nothing to worry about."
Qin Cheng choked, then awkwardly changed the subject: "Is there something you need from me?"
“I recently found out about a casino, Jincheng Casino, and I want them bankrupt.”
Qin Cheng was stunned. Qin Xi rarely made demands of him, so he couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
Qin Xi frowned unhappily: "When I came back last night, the people from their casino made me unhappy."
"Not because of Dr. Ruan?"
His eyes flickered slightly, and he yawned as he stood up: "Father, you have no right to refuse. Go and do it. Otherwise, if I take care of it myself, I won't be able to handle the affairs of your company."
Qin Xi's tone was quite impolite, something that would never have happened before Ruan Qing'an arrived.
Thinking of this, Qin Cheng's heart sank a little, but he still agreed and immediately made a phone call to start arranging the matter.
At the same time, when Qin Xi went upstairs, she saw the game console that the arcade owner had sent, which the butler had arranged to be placed in the entertainment room.
If you have time, why don't you ask that con artist sister to play a few more rounds?
But just as Qin Xi was about to go over, she saw Qin Yue quickly walk into Ruan Qing'an's room through the back door.
The back door was located in an area where no surveillance cameras were installed.
What is the relationship between his hypocritical brother and Ruan Qing'an?
Qin Xi's eyes, which usually appeared docile and obedient when he smiled, now held a cold, unpredictable glint: "How annoying! Stealing people isn't a good habit, brother..."
