Chapter 71: You felt disgusted in your previous life, and so did I
It was past two in the morning, the bar had closed, the bustling scene disappeared, it became completely quiet, and the staff also left.
Qi Yan was sitting on a chair in the lounge, his long legs crossed, leaning back casually against the cabinet, a cigarette between the fingertips of his left hand, a wisp of smoke overflowing from between his lips, slowly rising to blur his deep and handsome eyebrows.
"How is your hand injury?" Footsteps came from the corridor, and Brother Xu walked over. His eyes fell on his right hand hanging by his side, wrapped in layers of bandages.
Qi Yan looked at him. The light from the ceiling cast a shadow on him. His messy black hair obscured his eyebrows and eyes. His facial features were cast into shadow, giving him a gloomy and lazy feeling, which was completely different from his usual self.
He stared at his hand, which was bandaged so tightly that he could not see. He used to be able to do any delicate work well, but now his slender and flexible fingers were only stiff, numb and tingling.
Not to mention making cocktails, even performing a simple magic trick to entertain the guests like in the past probably wouldn’t be possible.
"He had nerve damage and ruptured tendons. The rescue was timely and he wasn't completely disabled. At most he won't be able to do delicate work in the future." He took a deep puff of cigarette, exhaled the smoke slowly, and remained calm.
For a professional bartender, it was the same as being useless, but Qi Yan still acted overly calm, as if what happened not long ago was an illusion.
Brother Xu was silent for a long while: "So what are you going to do in the future?"
The cost of having his right hand crippled was too insignificant, and Yi Yang only spent 100,000 yuan to solve this small matter.
He seemed to still be unable to hold his breath, and gritted his teeth and said, "Fuck, one hundred thousand dollars for a hand of yours, it's a damn good deal!"
The Shen family should not be offended. If the situation continues to get out of hand, it might be a problem whether the bar can still be opened. After careful consideration, Qi Yan finally chose to compromise and did not make a big deal out of the matter, but resolved it privately.
Qi Yan lowered his head, and his expression could not be seen clearly: "At least he is not dead." He is much better than Gu Yanxing. He cannot die until the Yi family pays the price they deserve.
Brother Xu frowned and said, "Are you still going there tomorrow?"
"...Of course I have to go." Qi Yan said calmly, "People should have a sense of contract. This is a good business. We can't do nothing just because we have a grudge with the customer."
The person who took action was Yi Yang, and Shen Xiliu only came to stop them. His men did not injure them. Considering that Chen Xiliu helped him a lot after all, if it weren't for Chen Xiliu, he might not have been able to see Xia Yunqie for the last time. People should learn to be grateful.
Moreover, they have signed a contract, so no matter how big or ugly the quarrel is, they have to continue to execute it until the contract is completely terminated.
"What will happen next?" Brother Xu stared at his right hand. "What are you going to do next?"
Qi Yan thought for a moment, put out the cigarette, threw it into the trash can, and smiled at him: "We'll talk about it later, take it one step at a time, I grew up like this anyway, the worst that can happen is that I'll sell my body in the future, what do you think, Brother Xu?"
By that time the contract had ended, and he could do whatever he wanted. The other party had no qualifications or position to interfere.
"...You are such a jerk." Brother Xu laughed and walked over to pat him on the shoulder. "Don't be a playboy. You joke about going to the beach all day long, but when a rich guy comes to ask for the price, you run away faster than a ghost."
"I didn't learn from her." Qi Yan smiled, his eyes dark, "Is she feeling better now?"
"Don't worry, you can eat and drink in the hospital. This guy is the only one who is so stupid. It was just a fight, why was he so anxious that he had to run down from the second floor? He even accidentally fell and sent himself to the hospital. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and tricked the other party, earning back her medical expenses."
Brother Xu stared at him and said, "So you don't have to take it to heart. She rolled down on her own. Compared to this injury, she and others are more concerned about when you will hook up with your destined person... What's wrong?"
Before he finished speaking, Brother Xu noticed that he was stunned.
"...Hiss, that might be a little difficult." Qi Yan handed Brother Xu a cigarette and smoked it himself. Using nicotine to relieve his tense nerves, he slowly smiled, "I was the one who lied to them before."
"There is no such thing as destiny, it's all a joke."
“I don’t have anyone I like.”
"I didn't trick them all, did I?"
…
In the PHY Scientific Research Institute, Shen Qingze took the pheromone suppression collar handed over by Shen Xiliu, and watched him frown and press his temples: "I haven't seen you have an attack for a long time, let's do a deeper examination later. It stands to reason that the pseudo-marking is almost complete now, and you shouldn't have an attack again. Could it be that you were stimulated by something?"
Every time he looked through his family's medical records, Shen Qingze was thankful countless times that he was just a collateral branch and a beta, so he would not inherit his family's diseases and would not have to go through so much pain since childhood.
"Nothing."
Shen Xiliu took a deep breath, trying to control himself and not think about anything. He took out the medicine from his pocket and swallowed it dry. The nerves in his brain were throbbing sharply.
Shen Qingze adjusted the collar and checked the residual medicine inside. He was shocked when he saw it. "How come the special inhibitor has been used up? Didn't I tell you that this is a month's supply?!"
Shen Xiliu couldn't control his irritability: "It automatically senses the changes in hormones and pheromones in the body, and then injects it to regulate the body's balance. Don't you know this?"
"If you don't change the frequency of injections, how can you complete the injections in such a short time..."
Shen Qingze was sweating coldly and didn't dare to say any more nonsense. He could only let Shen Xiliu do a physical examination first.
If this drug is used excessively, it will damage the brain, especially the areas related to emotions, and other aspects will also be affected.
If Shen Xiliu really got into trouble because of this medicine, neither the head of the family nor Shen Yunshu, who could not come back temporarily, would let him go, and Shen Qingze could not bear such a heavy responsibility.
No wonder Shen Yunshu never gave Shen Xiliu this special medicine before, nor did he tell him that there was such a special medicine. He probably guessed that he might abuse it at will...
The results of the examination were indeed not ideal, but fortunately they did not become serious and I just needed to stop using the medicine for a short period of time.
"Is there no other drug besides this one that can replace and suppress the impact of false markers?" Shen Xiliu just wanted to get out of his current state as soon as possible.
He really didn't know how it had come to this. He pressed on his head, which was no longer in pain due to the medication, but he could still feel the dull pain, as if a blunt knife was slowly sawing at his brain nerves. Wrapped up in pain, even his thinking ability slowed down.
His mood was out of control, and Shen Xiliu felt uncomfortable all over when he thought about what happened that night. He originally didn't want to get involved in Qi Yan and Yi Yang's affairs, but Shen Xiangting called him to beg him...
"There is only this, there is no substitute at all. If its sequelae were not so serious, it would not be strictly controlled to this extent." Shen Qingze also had a headache.
He had already heard what Shen Xiangting said. Who could have thought that the person Shen Yunshu chose for Shen Xiliu had such an awkward relationship with them. Shen Yunshu must know this, but he doesn’t care at all. He is focusing on the pheromone matching between Qi Yan and Shen Xiliu.
As for the people of the Yi family, what does their conflict with Qi Yan mean? Shen Yunshu never cared, all he wanted was to solve Shen Xiliu's problem and get the data he wanted.
"Forget it, it's almost time anyway."
It was just that the anxiety that he couldn't suppress kept bothering him, and Shen Xiliu couldn't calm down. He shouldn't care about such things.
The phone rang, Shen Xiliu looked down and saw that it was Yi Yang's number, so he simply hung up.
Shen Qingze, who was standing by, noticed his actions and felt it was quite embarrassing that things had gotten to this point. He didn't know what Shen Xiliu was thinking at the moment.
"Is everything alright over there?"
Shen Qingze asked as he adjusted the pheromone suppression collar.
Will the other party breach the contract? After all, this kind of thing happens.
“…”
Shen Xiliu did not answer him.
Based on his current understanding of Qi Yan, that guy would not break the contract. After all, he couldn't afford the breach of contract fee...
But his irritable mood made him not want to see Qi Yan again.
…
"Is this the person you sent to follow me?"
However, Shen Xiliu never expected that when they met again that night, Qi Yan did not say much about what happened that night. Instead, he took out a photo. The person in the photo was a private detective he sent to find, specifically to monitor Qi Yan.
His expression was as calm as ever, but there was a hint of coldness between Qi Yan's eyebrows, and the gaze he stared at him was even colder.
This made Shen Xiliu even more upset. He couldn't even speak calmly, and even his tone became cold: "What do you want to say?"
It is only natural to send someone to monitor. After all, who knows whether Qi Yan will do something that violates the contract in a corner where he can't see, Shen Xiliu thought.
Qi Yan looked at him as if it was his due responsibility and found it ridiculous: "The surveillance thing wasn't written in the contract, right?"
If it was written, he would never sign the contract. It would be terrible to be followed and monitored.
“You should be able to guess this kind of thing…” Shen Xiliu originally thought it was just a trivial matter, but looking at Qi Yan’s cold eyes and his gaze touching the bandaged right hand, his emotions began to become agitated a little bit.
There was no way. He had no trust in Qi Yan at the beginning. After all, after Shen Yunshu forced him to choose, he knew about this man's background...
There was no favorability from the beginning.
"I'm really sorry. I couldn't have guessed it at first, and I didn't expect people to suspect me to this extent."
Qi Yan laughed. He trusted himself too much. He knew that he would never violate the terms of the contract, but he did not expect Shen Xiliu's distrust of him.
And why is he so stupid?
Qi Yan thought about it carefully. In fact, there were several times when Chen Xiliu had hinted to him that someone was watching him, and he'd better be honest and not break the rules.
But he was like a fool at that time and didn't guess it at all, so he deserved to be in this situation now.
It was normal for Shen Xiliu to send someone to monitor him. Why would the other party trust him? They were not familiar with each other to begin with, so was it surprising that they secretly sent someone to monitor Party B to prevent the other party from violating the contract? What is there to be angry about?
Qi Yan calmed down: "It's really useless to talk about these things now."
Qi Yan felt like a lunatic. Why was he still asking? There is no need to care about such things.
"Let's start tonight's treatment quickly. It will be better for both you and me if we finish it early. If we continue, you will feel sick, and so will I."
