Chapter 69: Past life + present life, as long as it is not a matter of principle
"Why are you back so early today?" As Qi Yan opened the door and walked into the house, Xia Yunqie, who was sorting clothes in the living room, looked over, a little surprised, and smiled with curved eyes, "Shouldn't you be outside with Xi Liu at this time?"
"He has something to do." The music of the music box echoed in his ears. Qi Yan glanced at the music box, put down his schoolbag as if nothing had happened, and went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of ice water. He didn't see the two elderly people at home, so he asked, "Mom, where are grandpa and grandma?"
"I'm going to visit a friend." Xia Yunqie got up and put his clothes away, turned off the sound of the music box, and stroked the pattern on it with a complicated look in his eyes.
Qi Yan took a look and didn't know what to say. He never expected that the thing they had been looking for for so long was actually hidden in the music box that Shen Xiliu accidentally gave him. As a precaution, they had checked the music box before, but did not find the hidden memory card because it was hidden very deep inside and the delicate parts inside made the memory card difficult to find.
If Xia Yunqie wasn't so familiar with the sound of the music box and hadn't noticed something was wrong, he probably wouldn't have been able to find the memory card at all. The deceased Grandpa Xia was probably worried about being discovered by Yi Hongli, so he hid so deeply.
Yi Hongli has been imprisoned now, but it is not over yet. Xia Yunqie's mental state has become much worse than before, but with the company of his family, he has not fallen into a state of collapse. Instead, he is looking forward to the fate of Yi Hongli and Song Yili. The accumulation of crimes now is enough for Yi Hongli to be sentenced to death, and as an accomplice, Song Yili's sentence will not be too light...
"Xiao Yan, are you in a bad mood?" Xia Yunqie asked softly. She was very keenly aware that Qi Yan was in a bad mood.
"It's okay. Today I saw news about Yi Hongli everywhere, and it reminded me of some things in the past. It was a bit annoying." Qi Yan did not tell the real reason.
He was not the only one who had psychological trauma about tracking and surveillance. Xia Yunqie was also quite disgusted with it.
"By the way, Mom, hasn't Doctor He Sheng come back yet?" Qi Yan didn't want to talk about these things with Xia Yunqie, so he changed the subject and mentioned the doctor who he was a little concerned about.
Xia Yunqie stared at him for a long while, then nodded slowly: "Well, I heard that he was going to come back, but he received an invitation halfway, so he went abroad."
"It seems that it is not easy to visit him." Qi Yan smiled and chatted casually with Xia Yunqie.
Xia Yunqie stroked the pattern on the music box, his eyes fell on Qi Yan who was drinking water, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Anyway, there's no rush for now. We have to wait for Yi Hongli's matter to be resolved, which may take some time. I'll go with you to visit him then. By the way, Mom, I have something else to do later, so I may not be back tonight..."
Qi Yan twisted the bottle cap and put the bottle aside. When he wanted to say a few more words, his grandparents happened to come back carrying large and small bags. Hearing the sound, he hurried forward to help carry them.
As soon as grandma entered the room, she patted her shoulders, laughed heartily, and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years. Your grandpa's Zhao brothers all have great-grandchildren. Four generations living under one roof are really enviable. I wonder when I can hold my great-grandchild in my arms."
"Humph, your oldest grandson is still studying." Grandpa snorted coldly, looking at Qi Yan who was helping, thinking that he did not have the good luck of the Zhao family, and said, "Don't think too early!"
"Just shut up. Why is it so early? Many college students are married, right, Xiao Yan?" Grandma pushed grandpa and asked Qi Yan with a smile, revealing enthusiasm and expectation.
Qi Yan: "Uh... yes, but very few, our school only..."
"That's good enough!" Grandma interrupted him, "Just let grandma imagine it for a while. I never thought that the children we held in our arms all those years would become grandfathers now."
As she spoke, she pulled out her phone and pulled up photos, motioning them to come over and take a look: "I took a lot of photos today, come and take a look, you went to his house when you were a kid, too. If you weren't feeling unwell today, I would have wanted to take you to meet your childhood playmates, and I'd bring you and Xiao Yan to meet them some other day."
"Back then, we almost arranged a marriage for you two, but your father thought his brother lived too far away and couldn't bear to let him go, so he refused. I never expected that the boy would not only be more capable than your brother, the deputy director, but also have a grandson before him..."
There was envy in his words, but Qi Yan didn't dare to go forward. He felt like he was being urged to get married by his acquaintances when he went home for the New Year.
His scalp was already tingling, and it was difficult for him to leave. Grandpa narrowed his eyes and stared at him, lowering his voice: "Did you hear that? Your grandmother is already looking forward to holding her great-grandson. Do you have any ideas?"
Qi Yan: “…No.”
He is still wondering why Shen Xiliu sent people to monitor him. Even if there is a problem in this regard, he has to solve all the problems between the two of them.
"Okay, as long as you're not just playing around with others casually." The old-fashioned old man said seriously.
"How could I be that kind of person?" Qi Yan felt that his grandfather underestimated him. How could he just play around? He still likes Shen Xiliu, even though he is a little annoyed now, but he has no intention of breaking up, any misunderstandings should be resolved as soon as possible so that they can move on.
"No more talking, Grandpa. I'm going out for a while and probably won't be back tonight. You guys continue to accompany Ms. Xia." Qi Yan left the house and sent a message to Shen Xiliu, asking him when he would be back.
Qi Yan is very patient when it comes to treating people he likes. If it is a misunderstanding, he will give them a chance to clarify and resolve the misunderstanding.
Although he hated being followed and monitored, he could accept it as long as it was not a matter of principle.
…
…………
[“Dad, everything should be fine now, right?” In the hospital, Yi Yang was suppressing his anger, “Can I seek revenge on Qi Yan now? Brother Xi Liu doesn’t even take him seriously!”
Resentment does not disappear over time, it only grows deeper.
Yi Hongli leaned on the hospital bed, speaking in a gentle tone: "It sounds like you don't take it seriously. However, don't be too arrogant. If Shen Xiliu didn't take Qi Yan seriously, he would just ignore him completely..." Instead of mocking the other party on the spot, this expression showed that he cared a little, but not too much.
Yi Yang couldn't grasp the point. Shen Xiliu's background determined his cold and arrogant character. Qi Yan was not worth mentioning in front of him, but if he was willing to look the other party in the face, then there would be real trouble.
"You can do whatever you want." Yi Hongli narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and agreed with a smile, "After all, my going to the hospital and your mother's death are inseparable from Qi Yan. It's normal for you to want to retaliate impulsively..."
He said this meaningfully, watching Yi Yang become excited and slowly flipping through the information in his hand.
Qi Yan, his eldest son Yi Yanzhi is too tolerant. As long as it does not involve issues of principle, he can always forgive others easily.
This won't do. If he really gets close to Shen Xiliu, it will easily lead to troubles that are difficult to resolve. So he had to help and let Qi Yan know more.
And as for Shen Xiliu, this guy is the most terrifying.
Even though Shen Xiliu from the Shen family rarely goes out and doesn't like socializing, every time he strikes, he is always fierce and powerful. As an opponent, he is quite scary. Fortunately, they are not enemies...
After Yi Yang left, Yi Hongli called his secretary, first asking about Shen Xiangting's recent situation, then gave instructions on some things before hanging up the phone.
…
In the darkness, Qi Yan pulled away, threw the used condom into the trash can, calmly took the instrument on the table and took a look: "It's OK, the pheromones in your body have returned to normal."
It is a pure treatment process, observing the situation through the data displayed by the instrument, and ending once it is stable. But the current situation is not very good. After doing it so many times in one night, the pheromones in Chen Xiliu's body have returned to normal levels.
This is really tiring. After staying in one posture for so long, Qi Yan's whole body is a little stiff.
“…Bring it here.”
The person lying on the bed took a long while to relax before he sat up. He accidentally pulled his thigh muscle and Shen Xiliu couldn't help but let out a soft "hiss". He took the instrument that Qi Yan threw to him and looked at the data on it. It was indeed back to normal.
"Now that the mission is completed, I'll leave first, Mr. Shen, good night." Qi Yan yawned, threw the things to Shen Xiliu, and walked out with light footsteps.
The room was pitch black but it did not bother him. The door was opened and then gently closed with a "click" sound.
Since returning from the banquet, Qi Yan's attitude has not changed at all. He still smiles every day. Even when he sees Chen Xiliu, he doesn't feel awkward at all. He just does what he should do without any grudges.
“…”
Indescribable irritation.
Chen Xiliu took a deep breath, and the next second he felt a little nauseous. The pheromone remover filled the room, and he felt a slight tingling in the back of his neck.
A stream of ice-cold liquid was injected into the gland. It was a special inhibitor that Shen Xiliu asked Shen Qingze to add. The originally floating anxiety was suppressed in an instant, and he regained his calm.
This kind of relationship is just right, without any connection to each other, it is the most relaxing.
The next day, Qi Yan was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone. He was originally drowsy, but when he heard Zhang Heng say there was new news, he immediately woke up.
"Have you opened it and taken a look? No, Zhang Hengyi, do I need to remind you to be careful? It's better to be safe than sorry. OK, poisoning is indeed against the law. You are a lawyer, you have the final say..."
Qi Yan quickly got dressed and washed up, and when he pushed the door open, he ran into Shen Xiliu in the living room.
"Good morning." He glanced at the other party, casually greeted him, and continued to walk out in a hurry. He said to the person on the other end of the phone, "...You talk too much nonsense. I'm just saying hello to the guests. Wait, I'll be there soon."
"Bang." Without having time to control the force, Qi Yan closed the door and left.
After a loud bang, the room was dead silent, without any sound.
Qi Yan hurried to a remote residential building. Zhang Heng was already standing downstairs waiting with a plastic bag in his hand. His expression was more solemn than ever.
Seeing Qi Yan, Zhang Heng opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something to Qi Yan, but finally pushed his glasses and said, "Just in case, I've given the things to Lao Wang, come with me."
"Your expression is too heavy." Qi Yan felt something was wrong and followed Zhang Heng into the building. The old and remote residential building didn't even have an elevator, so they could only climb up to the fifth floor on foot.
The door was not locked. When they pushed it open and entered, they found the room in a mess, with all kinds of sundries piled together. The person with his back to them heard the sound, turned his chair and looked back: "Hey, you are finally here, did you forget to bring me beer and instant noodles?"
The man with messy hair and untidy beard yawned and said sleepily, "I'm starving. This thing is really hard to crack. Let's have some beer and cigarettes to wake up."
"I've brought you everything you asked for." Zhang Heng pushed his glasses and walked over to hand him the plastic bag. "Thank you for troubling you this time, Lao Wang."
Qi Yan followed him into the house. One of them was dressed in a suit and tie, while the other was dressed fashionably. Standing in this messy house, they seemed quite out of place.
There are not many people who can decipher the message left by Gu Yanxing, and even fewer people who can be trusted by them. The person in front of them is one of them.
"It's good to know the trouble." Lao Wang opened his beer and took a sip. "If it weren't for Lao Xu's sake, I wouldn't bother to help you even if the money was ready."
"This matter is not simple. Let me remind you first, you'd better be mentally prepared." Lao Wang raised his eyes and stared at Qi Yan. Under his messy hair, his eyes contained deep meaning, "Especially you, Qi Yan."
