Chapter 378 Broken Ribs
Duan Fei looked at his seventh brother, who was being beaten and kicked by his men. The bodyguards were indeed very obedient, avoiding his facial features. They hit him in the strongest spots until he vomited blood, but without breaking any bones.
Duan Fei huddled in a corner of the commercial vehicle and told the driver to drive, lest the commercial vehicle be parked on the side of the road and attract attention. Furthermore, beating Duan Fei in the car would make too much noise, and it would be bad if they attracted the police.
Seventh Brother brought Duan Fei to his own club. When those people saw Duan Fei being dragged in by two bodyguards, many people in the entertainment city who had been extremely jealous of Duan Fei before were gloating.
"See, this is what happens when you disobey the boss. Didn't he say he was kept by Sister Feng and treated her very well? Why doesn't Sister Feng come to take care of him now that something's wrong?"
The people around her were making sarcastic remarks. Someone sneered, "Sister Feng is just playing around with him. Does she really think he's her husband? She's the one who's responsible for everything. I saw Sister Feng just take two young pretty boys with her into her car. I'm afraid Duan Nufei has fallen out of favor."
After Duan Fei was pulled in, people started saying all sorts of things. Someone even said, "I heard a rumor that this guy hooked up with some rich girl again. She's probably much younger than Sister Feng, only in her 20s. He's hooked up with someone and wants to dump Sister Feng, so Sister Feng doesn't want him anymore."
The door of Seventh Brother's box was crowded with people watching the fun, and at this time one of his subordinates came over to drive them away.
"Whatever you guys are doing here, just do your own thing. If you don't have anything to do, get out of here. Don't gossip here, or else Brother Seven will throw you somewhere else."
Duan Fei was thrown heavily to the ground, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Brother Qi looked at him coldly. A bodyguard came over and handed Brother Qi a cigarette and lit it for him.
Seventh Brother looked at Duan Fei and sneered, "Kid, I'll give you a few days to think carefully about what you're going to do next. I heard from Sister Feng's men that you've hooked up with the eldest daughter of the Qi family again, right? You're quite good at cheating people with this face.
But Brother Qi, as someone who's been through this, reminds you: that kind of girl is just dating you. What can she give you? Will the Qi family agree to your marriage? Besides, what do you have to offer to marry into a wealthy family? People like you are just ducks hanging around in entertainment venues, living off the meat.
Do you really think the Qi family would want a son-in-law like you? Stop dreaming, kid. This is Rongcheng, a place of debauchery and extravagance, not your fairy tale world. Are you still not grown up? How did that two ounces of flesh grow? Is your brain full of sperm? Or have you watched too many TV dramas?
At this moment, Duan Fei collapsed on the ground like a lamb to be slaughtered, and he had no strength to reply to Seventh Brother.
He would not explain his relationship with Qi Luoyan like he did to Sister Feng. Firstly, there was no need, and secondly, Seventh Brother would not believe what she said.
"Boy, think it through with me carefully. I'll give you two days. Don't even think about going anywhere during these two days. Keep an eye on him and don't let him get away. Otherwise, if Sister Feng can't hand him over, I'll ask for your dog heads."
Duan Fei was thrown aside like a dead dog. He lay on the ground, completely unconscious, his mind racing, replaying the past few years of his life over and over again in his mind like a movie.
Duan Fei didn't know who he was going to dream about, nor who he needed to think about anymore. He fell limply to the ground like a soulless walking corpse.
On the other side, after Duan Fei was captured, Qi Luoyan ran to find Qi Huaijing while crying.
Qi Huaijing was still staying at home. He didn't go out or go to the company during this period. He just stayed with Zhou Shuang.
Qi Luoyan called, saying he had already called the Transportation Bureau and asked them to retrieve the surveillance footage along the way. Zhou Shuang had just woken up and was feeling sluggish. Her belly was growing bigger and bigger. Qi Luoyan barged in, startling Zhou Shuang. Her face was still wet with tears.
"Luo Yan, why are you here?"
Zhou Shuang had thought Qi Luoyan was just hanging out with her. Zhou Chenxuan and Zhou Chenyi had stayed with him for a few days. They had some matters to attend to in Haicheng, so they flew back. Now it was just her and Qi Huaijing alone again. She knew the siblings didn't want to disrupt her marriage, even though they were talking about matters in Haicheng.
Seeing that only her aunt was there, Qi Luoyan quickly wiped the tears from her face and asked calmly, "Is my uncle here? I have something to talk to him about."
Zhou Shuang pointed to the study: "He's there, go find him."
Qi Luoyan was about to go up when Zhou Shuang stopped her. She noticed that something was wrong with Qi Luoyan and thought she had quarreled with Fu Yu again.
"Luo Yan, what's wrong? Did Brother Xiaoyu bully you again?"
At this time, Qi Luoyan had no time to care about Fu Yu's affairs. She and Duan Fei were not in that kind of relationship, but the two of them were like friends and had a special bond.
Duan Fei's private life was not glorious, and even his profession was despicable, but Duan Fei did not cross the line or show any disrespect in front of her. He just chatted with her like a friend, accompanied her everywhere, and told her about his childhood, as innocent as a child.
He also told Qi Luoyan everything about himself without reservation, making Qi Luoyan feel that this was the first time in his life that he was treated like a normal person, rather than a valuable commodity that anyone could use.
"No, it's not Fu Yu's business. It has nothing to do with him. Aunt, I'll go find Uncle."
Qi Luoyan seemed to be dodging, and Zhou Shuang didn't ask any more questions when she saw that she didn't want to talk. She watched her go upstairs to the study to find Qi Huaijing.
She hurried to the study, and Qi Huaijing just put down the phone in his hand.
Qi Luoyan couldn't help but step forward: "Uncle, did you help me find the person?"
Qi Huaijing tapped the table lightly and looked at Qi Luoyan: "What kind of people have you been hanging out with recently? How did you end up meeting someone like that?"
From the surveillance video, the owner of the two business cars is Qi Ge, the owner of the largest entertainment city in Rongcheng. In other words, they belong to the lowest class of people.
Qi Huaijing didn't know why Qi Luoyan would hang out with such people.
Qi Luoyan was speechless after being asked by his uncle, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
Her face flushed red, and she had no choice but to risk it all to save Duan Fei: "Uncle, Duan Fei is not what you think. He is not that kind of person."
She herself couldn't explain what kind of person Duan Fei was, but she couldn't hide it from Qi Huaijing.
Qi Huaijing's brows were knitted tightly. He had never heard of Duan Fei, and he thought he wasn't a very important person. But he remembered that Qi Luoyan had been with the kid from the Xiao family before, so how could he have gotten involved with Duan Fei again?
He was a male model who had just escaped from some low-class place. If his elder brother and sister-in-law knew about this, they would probably be so angry that they would pass out.
Qi Huaijing looked at Qi Luoyan indifferently and said only two words: "Nonsense."
Qi Luoyan knew that Duan Fei's identity and profession were disgraceful, but in order to save people, she couldn't care less.
"Uncle, there's really nothing between Duan Fei and me. We're just friends. Today I drove him to the drama troupe, and he got in my car because he said he was going to see his senior brother.
But when we were waiting at a red light, two groups of people suddenly jumped out and dragged him away from my car. Uncle, you must help me with this.”
Qi Huaijing looked at Qi Luoyan, not knowing what to do with him. This child was just too naive. He was deceived time and time again and made bad friends time and time again.
Zhou Shuang is probably the only right friend he has found in his life. Apart from Zhou Shuang, Qi Huaijing has no idea who else Qi Luoyan will meet.
Even Fu Yu was unreliable. He had repeatedly coveted his wife, and finally tried to use his niece to get close to his wife. He found it extremely hateful.
Qi Huaijing had the ability to keep everything under control, otherwise he would have let Fu Yu return to Haicheng long ago.
One has to love and care for his own niece. Qi Huaijing had watched Qi Luoyan grow up, and now that she came to him crying and begging, Qi Huaijing couldn't refuse.
He paused his slender fingertips on the table and looked at Qi Luoyan and asked, "Then what do you want me to do?"
Seeing that her uncle was willing to help her, Qi Luoyan stopped crying immediately. She took Qi Huaijing's arm in a coquettish manner.
"You don't need to do anything, just help me rescue him. I don't know what his relationship with those people is, but uncle, I believe Duan Fei is absolutely innocent."
It took Qi Huaijing less than five minutes to have someone find out all the information about Duan Fei, and he also found out that he had an ambiguous relationship with a woman in her 50s and had been kept by someone for several years.
Qi Huaijing was really worried about her relationship with Qi Luoyan, but this niece seemed to be possessed and probably wouldn't listen to anything he said.
But there were some things Qi Huaijing still wanted to clarify, because he was afraid that Qi Luoyan was kept in the dark. At least she knew what kind of person Duan Fei was. If she still insisted on saving him, Qi Huaijing would have nothing to say.
He just needs to send more people to keep an eye on it. Qi Luoyan looked at Qi Huaijing eagerly, waiting for his next words.
Qi Huaijing was helpless: "Duan Fei has been kept by someone for several years. Did you know about this? He is with a woman in her 50s. Are you sure you are not in a romantic relationship with him or that he is not deceiving you?"
Qi Huaijing finished speaking and Qi Luoyan's face turned red. Seeing her like this, Qi Huaijing immediately understood that Qi Luoyan knew everything about Duan Fei.
Qi Huaijing's words became more serious. Any man like this, he is a gigolo and will cling to women to climb up.
"I don't know what kind of character you have in your mind for a person like this. It's because you've been with him for a while that you have a filter for him.
If it was a stranger you had never met, and you knew he had been kept by an older woman for several years, would you still think he had a good character or was a nice person?
Qi Luoyan blushed at what Qi Huaijing said.
Qi Huaijing looked at her acting like a little girl, standing there with her head down and her feet together like a child who had done something wrong, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He felt that his uncle was becoming more and more unscrupulous. Ever since he married Zhou Shuang, even the way he looked at people had become much gentler. The ruthless and ruthless man before seemed to be dead.
"No matter what, he is your friend. Since you want me to help him, I will help you once, but this will not happen again. If anything happens to Duan Fei in the future, don't come to me."
Qi Huaijing was not confident when he said this, but Qi Luoyan nodded vigorously when she saw that he was willing to help.
"Don't worry, little uncle. Duan Fei will never cause trouble in the future. I can guarantee it."
She held up three fingers and swore.
Every two hours, Brother Seven from the entertainment city came over with his bodyguards to ask Duan Fei if he had thought it through. Duan Fei's mouth was bleeding, but no one paid him any attention.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. It wasn't that he didn't want to be with Feng Jie, but that Feng Jie herself didn't want him anymore. These people didn't know anything.
It must be because Fengjie stopped spending money with Qige, so Qige concluded that Duan Fei and Fengjie had broken up. Fengjie wanted him to come back, so she brought him here.
But if Seventh Brother knew that he was of no value to Fengjie, then Seventh Brother would definitely treat him like those male models under his command, and let him go out to find other people every day, or even receive more disgusting guests.
When Seventh Brother brought a group of people into the box for the fourth time, Duan Fei was already exhausted and almost fainted. Seventh Brother sat in front of him and kicked him.
"Hurry up and get up, don't play dead. I'm still waiting for your reply."
Duan Fei saw his seventh brother and struggled to sit up. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, but his seventh brother turned a blind eye.
"Don't act pitiful in front of me. You should use this to make Sister Feng feel distressed."
Duan Fei looked at his seventh brother and gave a miserable smile.
"If I tell you that Sister Feng doesn't want me anymore, would you believe me?"
Seventh Brother looked at Duan Fei for a few seconds, with an expression of disappointment and a hint of sarcasm.
"It's not that Sister Feng doesn't want you, it means you made her angry. This is very simple. As long as you apologize to Sister Feng, there will definitely be room for maneuver. After all, you have been with Sister Feng for so many years, she has feelings for you.
I've never seen her so devoted to anyone before. You must seize the opportunity and don't let me down."
Unfortunately, Duan Fei had already made up his mind not to live like this again. He thought of Qi Luoyan.
Although he could not be compared with these rich girls, he could live a normal life and fall in love with a girl without worries, just like when he was with his first love.
He can also support himself and his family with his own hands and feet, and no longer has to live the life of a bootlicker. When he gets the money, he also loses his freedom.
A woman in her 50s couldn't possibly give him a future. Seventh Brother probably guessed Duan Fei's thoughts. He couldn't help but slap him again.
This time he no longer felt sorry for him, and there was a sneer on the corner of his lips.
"Stop pretending to be so self-righteous. What have you been doing in front of me today? You followed Feng Jie for a few years and lived a life of luxury. You even took the money for the house, and now you're saying you're quitting.
You can leave if you want. Buy yourself out of my sight. Don't forget that when your dead grandmother was buried, I gave you the money to buy a coffin and a plot of land. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to afford the funeral expenses.
You signed a contract with me. You have to work for 10 years and earn me enough money for 10 years before you can be free. Now it's only been three years and you want to go back on your word.
If you want to leave, I agree. If you can come up with three million, I'll let you go. From now on, we'll have nothing to do with each other. I won't bother you again. You must draw a clear line between yourself and everyone in this industry, and don't let me see you in this business again. Otherwise, I will make sure you can't continue in this business."
Duan Fei's heart completely sank after hearing what Seventh Brother said.
"Seventh Brother, I've been with you for so many years, and I've earned a lot for you. You asked me to take out three million, but I really can't take it out.
And it was Sister Feng who didn't let me follow him, not that I didn't want to. You asked me to apologize to Sister Feng, and I've already apologized to her, but she wouldn't listen. "Seventh Brother, how about I wait until I find a job and make enough money to pay you back?"
Brother Qi looked at Duan Fei, almost laughing. "It'll take ages for you to make enough money. How are you going to make it? Go out and work for 3,000 yuan a month."
You want to pay me back 3 million, when do you plan to pay it back? If you don't want to be with Feng Jie, I can help you find a woman who is better than Feng Jie.
No matter how much she gives you, you just need to pay me half every month until you pay back the 3 million in full. Is that okay with you?"
This sentence completely made Duan Fei despair. It was impossible for him to find a woman like Feng Jie again. Many people in the circle of those who were playing gigolos outside understood this.
Many women's husbands ignored them when they were young and gave them nothing but money. These people are more or less a bit mentally abnormal.
Compared to them, Fengjie can be considered a pure love warrior. She is in a serious relationship and her behavior in all aspects is normal.
But it’s different for other women. There are many male models who can’t stand being played to death.
This kind of thing is common in this circle. Those people can settle anything because they have money. Poor young lives are ruined like this, and there is no place to seek justice. Duan Fei doesn't want to end up like that.
"Well? Think about what I said. Otherwise, you can find a way to get close to Sister Feng. Whether she dumps you or you dump her, you must make her treat you well again.
Otherwise, I will subcontract you to someone else, and the money you earn will still be enough to make me 3 million. You can go wherever you want, I don’t care. "
Brother Qi said this very seriously, not joking at all.
Duan Fei's entire train of thought was at a standstill, and he had no idea what to do next. At this moment, someone walked in and whispered something to Qi Ge, who then stood up and threw the cup on the table.
"Duan Fei, you've grown wings now, haven't you? You actually dared to let Qi Huaijing find someone to threaten me. Fine, I'll give Qi Huaijing face today and let you go. Remember, this is only the first time. Throw him out right now."
After Seventh Brother finished speaking, Duan Fei was still very surprised and didn't understand what was going on. When the word "Qi" in Qi Huaijing was mentioned, he probably thought of Qi Luoyan.
Duan Fei stood up shakily from the ground and walked towards the door. Suddenly, a cup hit him on the head. He was caught off guard and fell down with blood all over his forehead.
Those younger brothers were all shocked. Brother Seven stared at Duan Fei and the bodyguard and spoke coldly without any concern.
"What are you looking at? Throw him out. Whether he lives or dies is up to me. I have no control over it. But watch out, everyone. If anyone goes against me or ruins my client in the future, they will end up like him. No one can stop them."
After saying that, Brother Seven threw Duan Fei outside. Cars passed by him but none of them stopped for him.
Qi Huaijing notified Qi Luoyan to pick up the person. When she arrived at the entertainment city, Duan Fei had already fallen unconscious on the side of the road.
Qi Luoyan had no choice but to call a few friends that Qi Luohan had found to help lift Duan Fei into her car.
Fu Yu, who was not far away, watched all this. The steering wheel was almost broken off while he was sitting in the car. In the end, he could only watch Qi Luoyan and Duan Fei get in the car and leave.
The brothers in the car looked at Fu Yu and couldn't help but say, "Brother Yu, it's not a good thing for you to follow me like this every day. When I was pursuing you, you ignored me. Now that I don't want to follow you anymore, you are still following me every day. What on earth do you want to do?"
They really couldn't guess what Fu Yu was thinking, and Fu Yu was too lazy to pay attention to them. He just stepped on the accelerator and followed Qi Luoyan to see where she was going to take that man.
Qi Luoyan took Duan Fei to the hospital. Fu Yu stopped the car and sneered, "You're really something to care so much about a duck."
Duan Fei was sent to the emergency room. Qi Luoyan was anxious outside. The doctor took Duan Fei in and he was not pushed out until two hours later.
Qi Luoyan: "Doctor, how is my friend?"
The doctor thought it was a blessing that he was sent to the hospital in time. If he had been sent there any later, he would have died. His ribs were broken and pierced his chest, almost reaching his internal organs.
Qi Luoyan was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She had stayed by Duan Fei's side all night and had fallen asleep right beside his bed.
When Duan Fei woke up, he saw Qi Luoyan. He couldn't move his body at all and could only gently touch her hair with his hand.
Qi Luoyan was a light sleeper and woke up immediately when Duan Fei moved.
"Why am I in the hospital?"
"I need to ask you this. The doctor said you had broken ribs and nearly injured your internal organs. What happened? Did that sister give you a hard time?"
Qi Luoyan couldn't say it, Duan Fei shook his head: "No. I have a bad fate."
She couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Why is my life involved again?"
Duan Fei changed the subject: "Sister, why did you send me here?"
He remembered that he was thrown out, but he didn't expect to be rescued by Qi Luoyan.
"I asked my uncle to find you. Why did those people arrest you?"
Duan Fei: "Money. If I leave, they won't be able to make money from me. They want to force me to go back to Sister Feng."
Qi Luoyan looked at him: "You really have to go back and serve..."
She really couldn't say it.
"No, I don't agree."
If I had agreed, I wouldn't have been beaten like this.
Qi Luoyan peeled an apple for him.
"Just rest and recover. I've told my uncle not to embarrass you."
Duan Fei's eyes flickered slightly. If he didn't help Qi Luoyan with this favor, Seventh Brother probably wouldn't be so angry. He could almost foresee how miserable his future would be.
