Chapter 430: Evil (59)
Only with patience can you cast a long line to catch a big fish.
Qiao Xi has never lacked time to fight a protracted battle with him. She is also secretly communicating with Bai Zhizhi's mother, which can be regarded as exchanging information with each other.
Bai Zhizhi's mother was probably confused.
She had no way to contact Qiao Xi.
But that girl always found a way to contact her. Although the communication was limited, they had the same goal.
The evidence collection is complete.
Bai Zhizhi's mother also took action, and an investigation was launched. Even if they didn't want to, with the Procuratorate watching from above, even the Yan family, who had a long hand, would not dare to reach out.
I can only accept it with a pinch of my nose.
The investigation begins one by one with "accidents", and gradually the truth emerges under the guidance of evidence.
Yan Shen didn't notice this.
When Qiao Xi placed a paternity test result and a pregnancy test report on his desk, the man quickly realized something in just a few seconds and was ecstatic.
She went for various tests as soon as she created the virtual embryo.
It's done.
Cancel the data directly, very easy to use.
"Xixi, you...you are now--?" Yan Shen looked at the two results in his hands and could not hide the joy in his eyes. Although he had expected it, but now everything has become a foregone conclusion.
It still made him ecstatic.
There had been some issues down there recently, and he didn't know who was going to investigate. He had to prepare for it, and he had been a bit careless recently.
And now.
Qiao Xi brought him such a big surprise.
Especially the paternity test results, which undoubtedly gave him peace of mind. Yan Shen put his arm around Qiao Xi's waist as usual, but now this action became more cautious.
Afraid of bumping into her.
"How does it feel?"
The man's gentle voice with a smile came from her ear, and his warm big hand fell on the girl's belly, which was still as flat as before.
"Not very energetic."
Qiao Xi leaned unhappily in his arms, her beautiful eyes casually glancing at the documents on his desk.
"What are you doing? You've been so busy lately."
Her voice was also faint.
However, Yan Shen could hear the concern in her words. Knowing that Qiao Xi cared about him, he was naturally happier. However, the things on the table were not suitable for Qiao Xi to see at the moment.
therefore.
He pressed Qiao Xi's head, letting the girl lean in his arms and look away.
"It's just a small matter. I'll be able to finish it soon and accompany you."
Yan Shen's gentle voice was filled with subtle affection for her, and he bent down to kiss her forehead. Qiao Xi also knew better than to ask any more questions about these matters. Yan Shen would not avoid her now.
Just put the file away.
Maybe he thought that her 'pregnancy' was a foregone conclusion.
Bai Zhizhi and her mother's side.
The victims and their families who found themselves cheated by this so-called "accident" were very angry and demanded compensation for their losses.
But for Yan Shen.
Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for the Yan family. As long as they give enough, they can shut those people up. No matter how loud they shout, isn't it just for money?
He gently stroked Qiao Xi's hair in his arms.
The narrow eyes beneath the gold-rimmed eyes shone with a cold, dark light. These people deliberately jumped out to pick a fight at a time like this, which was really annoying. The ones who were leading all this were Bai Zhizhi and her family.
It's time to teach them a lesson.
So that he wouldn’t come out and annoy people again.
"Why are you still frowning? Are you unhappy?" Qiao Xi, who was leaning in his arms, noticed that his attitude seemed to have changed, and immediately raised her eyes to look at him.
"No, I'm just thinking about how to go back and tell them."
Yan Shen lowered his eyes and chuckled, then he took Qiao Xi's soft and slender hand and held it in his palm to play with it.
It's time to implement that plan.
The only difference is that the target will be Bai Zhizhi and her family.
"Yeah... that's right. If your family is very opposed to it, then just get rid of the child."
The girl in his arms lowered her eyes slightly.
Her thick, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, temporarily concealing the emotions in Qiao Xixing's eyes, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking at the moment. But this look was undoubtedly lost.
Yan Shen's heart tightened a little.
A little anxious, he quickly hugged her and coaxed her: "My family won't have any objections to you. I've already informed them in advance."
"real?"
The girl of humble origins still lacked confidence, her clear, beautiful eyes filled with anxiety and dependence. Now that things had come to this, he was the only one she could rely on.
Yan Shen's love and care in his heart were even greater.
"Would I lie to you? Of course it's true. Don't worry about it, Xixi."
"...Well, then I believe you."
Qiao Xi's uneasy expression finally eased a little. Yan Shen didn't say anything more. He just explained that he would be a little busy during this period and arranged for her to take good care of herself.
Qiao Xi didn't ask any more questions.
There was no objection to his arrangement.
This naturally made Yan Shen sincerely happy. It was great that Qiao Xi could cooperate so well. Moreover, Qiao Xi's ignorance of those things was also good for her. After all, it was not a very happy thing.
Yan Shen went to work.
Whenever he had some free time, he would ask Qiao Xi about her well-being. When he saw the well-behaved girl staying beside him obediently, a warm feeling flowed through Yan Shen's heart.
He will have a home with Qiao Xi.
He was so convinced.
So much so that when the plan was implemented, he was so immersed in the gentleness that he didn't even notice the slightest flaw. The plan he sent out was originally intended to be implemented on Bai Zhizhi and her family.
but.
For some unknown reason, the new target quietly turned into the original target, Qiao Xi.
The day the plan was implemented.
Three days after Qiao Xi secretly reported the case, she happened to be out at the mall alone. After Yan Shen learned she was "pregnant," his slight grudge against her disappeared. After forcing her to rest for a while, he released Qiao Xi.
I was able to come out not long ago.
Qiao Xi shook off the people who were secretly monitoring her and went to report the case with evidence. Because Yan Shen was recently involved in many accidents, her situation quickly attracted attention.
But who could have thought.
Another "accident" will happen in three days and will take Qiao Xi's life.
When she saw the out-of-control truck rushing straight towards her, the pedestrians around her screamed and fled in all directions, and some enthusiastic people shouted loudly, asking Qiao Xi to get out of the way quickly.
But it was too late.
Accidents often happen in just a moment.
Qiao Xi's consciousness escaped and returned to the space. The remaining body was directly knocked away by the truck. Scarlet sticky liquid splashed out like a fountain, scattering in the air.
That thin and slender figure.
After being knocked into the air and drawing a small arc, he fell heavily to the ground, blood gushing out. Soon, it seeped into the asphalt road.
The pedestrians around screamed and exclaimed.
Some people called the police and some called the emergency number, but no one dared to approach.
They all watched from a distance with expressions of fear.
They had never seen such a cruel scene before, and their faces turned pale with fear. The girl lay on the ground with her head tilted to the side, her face pale and her eyes closed. What a beautiful little girl she was.
How come...
This is what happened to me, oh well.
The ambulance rushed over and quickly carried the man away for emergency treatment. The police came over to stop the driver and found that he was driving under the influence. When they took the man away, he was still confident that there was an important person to protect him.
It can be said to be extremely arrogant.
When Yan Shen returned to the villa that day, he received the news that the matter had been settled and was in a good mood.
Bai Zhizhi would not interfere with him anymore.
Next, her family.
When he thought about this, he also opened the door of the villa and went in. He didn't know why, but today was even quieter than usual. The air was filled with cold air, mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers that Qiao Xi loved most.
Quiet.
Floating in the empty room.
On the off-white checkered tablecloth, a few pastries, which had long since cooled down, were placed on a delicate, patterned plate. There was also a cup of Ceylon black tea, which hadn't been touched yet. Yan Shen frowned when he saw it.
Qiao Xi drank secretly again while he was not at home.
Pregnant women are not suitable for drinking strong tea, but Qiao Xi's taste has changed recently and she likes to drink black tea very much.
But now it looks like.
She hadn't drunk this cup yet, which made Yan Shen's brows relax a little.
There are many things that Qiao Xi likes in the villa.
It was even worse after Qiao Xi became pregnant. The girl broke into his world with such fanfare, dyeing this place with the beautiful colors she liked. Yan Shen's original style was very simple, so the decoration here was naturally simple.
But Qiao Xi is not.
She wanted pale blue wallpaper dotted with stars and moons, soft pink clouds like cotton candy, and she wanted to be able to look up and see the vast universe and the starry sky.
For Yan Shen.
These outfits are childish.
It's like a little girl who has not grown up, longing for and liking these fairy-tale and dreamy things.
But after becoming pregnant, Qiao Xi became unusually well-behaved and obedient.
She also likes to pull his sleeve and act like a spoiled brat, not hiding her true feelings like before. It is said that pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years, and after Qiao Xi became pregnant, she also became a confused and easily satisfied big child.
Yan Shen was helpless with her like this.
But it also became more and more doting.
Qiao Xi's reliance on him also gave him a sense of reality, that he was about to become a father. This indescribable sense of pride, excitement, and accomplishment was positive, but also a very complex emotion that could not be simply summarized in a few words.
He wants to settle down.
For the first time, I didn't feel impatient with my family's urging for a wedding.
The Yan family attaches great importance to form.
The wedding had to be held after knowing about Qiao Xi's existence. The old man of the Yan family didn't directly say that he wanted to meet someone, but said that he was no longer a child and that some things should be decided by him.
But the only thing.
We have to hold the wedding as soon as possible, otherwise it won’t look good when the belly gets bigger.
After all, people who have experienced it think more carefully.
The persuasion process was easier than Yan Shen had imagined, so after he came back from the Yan family, he came to find Qiao Xi and planned to take him to the Yan family to hold the wedding.
And there is Qiao Xi's mother.
It won’t be too late to take Qiao Xi to the Yan family and then notify them.
Anyway, the matter is settled.
With her mother's greedy personality, she would probably want to pack up Qiao Xi and send her directly to his bed. Yan Shen was not worried that the other party would refuse, nor was he worried that her mother would disagree.
after all.
He will bring happiness to Qiao Xi.
Yan Shen was immersed in sweetness as he imagined his future with Qiao Xi and thought about how to hold the wedding. Occasionally, he thought of the girl's well-behaved appearance, which made him smile uncontrollably.
Even looking at the boring documents in my hands.
They all look a lot better.
Bai Zhizhi's family member was really difficult to deal with, and they insisted on pestering him. But now that Bai Zhizhi was in trouble, that parent couldn't still have the energy to waste time here with him, right?
Yan Shen's eyes narrowed.
And the subordinates who came to report to him as usual felt even more disappointed after seeing Yan Shen's expression.
Although I know that I am saying bad things about my employer in my heart.
but……
He could lay hands on a pregnant woman, not to mention that she was carrying his child. No matter how much he acted doting on her, wasn't he still merciless in reality?
not to mention.
The other person is still such a young life. If something happens and he cannot be rescued, the result will be two lives, one dead.
How loving they were before.
Now he is acting without hesitation and doing it so decisively.
This really made the subordinate begin to doubt whether Yan Shen had any humanity at all. Is it really a good idea to work for such a master?
Thinking so.
He reported the matters assigned by Yan Shen as usual, and after finishing speaking, he did not leave on his own as before.
This also made Yan Shen frown.
"What else?"
The subordinate lowered his head and handed over his resignation letter with both hands: "Master, I am here to apply for resignation."
Yan Shen frowned.
This guy is quite useful, he works efficiently and quickly, and he pays the other party a good salary.
Why are you resigning?
However, Yan Shen had encountered this situation before, so he didn't think it was strange. He casually glanced at the resignation application handed over by the other party and nodded in agreement.
"I understand. You can go out now."
He didn't want Qiao Xi to see outsiders when she came back.
He also didn't want Qiao Xi to be met by other men. This subordinate had run into Qiao Xi several times when he came to report before, which made Yan Shen feel a little unhappy.
therefore.
Afterwards, he specifically told the other party to come at a certain time to make sure they wouldn't see him and Qiao Xi together.
The subordinate submitted his resignation letter.
He was silent for a while, as if he was hesitating or thinking.
Finally, the former subordinate said.
"Master Yan, if you still have some conscience as a human being and some sense of responsibility as a future father, you should go to the hospital to see Miss Qiao. Even if you have a deep hatred for her, she is lying alone in the emergency room with her life or death unknown, so she should..."
"What did you say?!"
Before the subordinate could finish his words, Yan Shen's eyes widened, he roared and suddenly stood up.
The subordinates were obviously frightened by his anger.
I've never seen Yan Shen lose his composure like this before.
"What did you just say? Who's in the emergency room?!"
Yan Shen suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled him over roughly. His furious and frightened eyes had long lost his calmness and rationality, leaving only deep fear and terror hidden within.
In a moment.
He just felt a splitting headache, and the rising anger rushed into his brain at the fastest speed.
Filled with irritability.
It only made his head ache, his limbs were filled with unprecedented panic and confusion, and a strong ominous premonition of shock and fear filled his chest.
The constant pressure stimulates the pounding heart.
Even Yan Shen's hand, which was clutching the man's collar, was shaking due to extreme shock and anger.
who……?
Who's in the emergency room?!
When the subordinate saw him like this, his Adam's apple rolled with difficulty and his voice became a little dry.
"Yes... Miss Qiao, Miss Qiao Xi."
He seemed to have taken great effort to regain his slightly trembling voice. He was controlled by the strong sense of oppression that suddenly approached him, and even breathing had to be done with fear and caution.
Wasn’t it Yan Shen who hired someone to do it?
Why is this young master so nervous now?
Even if he was acting, he was acting too well. Could it be that he was so immersed in the role that he couldn't get out of it?
There was deathly silence all around.
There was not a trace of warmth left in the empty living room. The air and temperature had completely cooled down, like a greedy and cold snake slowly crawling.
Gradually wander around here.
The intense oppressive and dull feeling of fear and anxiety.
With unprecedented anger coming one after another, even staying here for a second feels extremely long.
It's really painful.
His subordinates were so frightened by his shocked and angry look that they felt a chill on their backs, and their slightly trembling hands had already clenched into fists involuntarily.
The subordinate forced himself to maintain his rationality and faced Yan Shen's anger, and goose bumps appeared on his back unconsciously.
Until the sticky, cold sweat began to soak my shirt.
The man in front of him was pulling him.
It seems like I have just woken up from a dream.
"Qiao Xi, Xixi...?"
Yan Shen loosened his grip on his collar, his buzzing brain making it impossible for him to think normally.
His dark and deep eyes were like an abyss with no end in sight, filled with unprecedented panic and emptiness.
Yan Shen staggered back a few steps.
His hands, hanging down from exhaustion, trembled, and his brain, now trembling with fear after the anger, also trembled. He stumbled backwards and bumped into the dining table, causing the untouched cup of Ceylon tea to shake slightly, spilling some tea stains.
Yan Shen covered his head with one hand and shook his head slowly.
"No, it can't be her..."
He muttered to himself like a madman, his trembling voice trying to convince himself.
The chill of this moment.
It almost made the blood in his body freeze, even anger seemed redundant, leaving only boundless fear.
The subordinate had retreated to the door.
"Master Yan, I'm sorry, I know very little, so I won't bother you any more."
“Click—”
The outer door was closed, completely isolating Yan Shen from this cold, dead world. The silence seemed to have been brewing for half a century. He stretched out his already stiff legs and forced his stumbling body to run towards the other side of the table in a panic.
He opened the drawer with a "swish".
With his trembling cold hands, he anxiously and frantically searched for the key hidden in the compartment.
Take it out.
But his hands were shaking so much with fear that he failed to insert the key into the keyhole several times.
When he finally opened the drawer with his stiff and cold hands and found the document lying quietly inside.
Yan Shen took it out and opened it, his eyes bloodshot.
Bai Zhizhi's name quietly appeared on the paper.
The one with 'Qiao Xi' written on it disappeared.
The moment I learned the truth, everything became clear.
Yan Shen's face turned pale in an instant, as if all his strength and soul had been drained away in an instant. He clenched the document in his hand.
Until the paper becomes crumpled.
No one noticed.
How could this happen, how could this happen... ?
After a long time of slowing down, his brain finally started to work again. He shook his head and tried hard to search for the memory of when he handed over the document.
only.
My thoughts are too confused, my spirit is on the verge of collapse, and my blood vessels are hot and swollen.
It made it impossible for him to calm down like before and sort out the sequence of events.
Yan Shen tried his best to remain calm.
His legs gradually lost their strength and slowly bent down, and he knelt on the ground with his back hunched.
Why?
It seemed as if only this voice remained in my heart.
Keep asking questions.
Yan Shen spread out the crumpled paper with trembling hands.
Try to press it flat again and again.
He widened his eyes, which were gradually becoming moist, and tried to find some flaws in the densely packed text.
However, this is nothing but self-deception.
'Bai Zhizhi' these three familiar words.
The eyes did not deceive him, nor did the cruel reality that was happening before his eyes.
"Qiao Xi..."
Yan Shen's voice was choked, his Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and he almost squeezed out the name that made him completely collapse from between his teeth.
He clutched the document again.
My trembling hands pressed against my aching heart, waves of unfamiliar, bitter emotions flooding my mind. My shattered rationality had overwhelmed my sensitive and fragile nerves with the excessive burden of emotion, and they were already completely broken.
It was as if there was nothingness from head to toe.
So empty that there is nothing left.
When Yan Shen arrived at the hospital in a daze, he smelled the familiar smell of disinfectant nearby and felt like every step he took was stepping on cotton.
The people around looked strange.
They watched the man, who was like a hollow corpse, walk step by step towards the emergency room where the light was on.
