Chapter 43 The Sweet Burden of Being a Twin Brother
Murong Ting had suffered many injuries, big and small, but his son had never asked about him with such concern before. He felt a little better immediately: "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury. It will be fine in a few days!"
Kong Chi nodded and said seriously, "It seems that Mommy's technique is quite good."
Murong Ting was speechless and his face darkened: "That's because your father has a good constitution, what does it have to do with her?"
"Sigh," Kong Chi sighed, helplessly saying, "You're just saying one thing and meaning another!"
Murong Ting's face darkened further: "Murong Chen, I think you're itching for a beating now that you're better..."
Kong Chi knew when to stop: "Alright, Daddy, I need to rest now. Goodnight!"
After saying that, he jumped off the bed and crawled under the covers, leaving only his big, round eyes showing.
Murong Ting had no choice but to point at his son, then shook his head helplessly, turned off the light, and went out.
After he left, Kong Chi quickly pulled her small hand out from under the covers and dialed Murong Chen's number, then replayed the events of the day.
Murong Chen, on the other side, was dumbfounded and didn't know where to begin his response.
"Xiao Chen, are you still listening?" After a long silence on the other end, Kong Chi couldn't help but ask.
Murong Chen snapped out of his daze and exclaimed in horror, "Brother Chi, are you saying that I wasn't sick before, but poisoned, and that Aunt Zheng was the one who poisoned me? Now Aunt Zheng has been taken away by the police, and the person who instructed Aunt Zheng to poison me was my aunt, and this aunt has ulterior motives and is eyeing Daddy?"
Kong Chi was very satisfied with his younger brother's comprehension ability and nodded: "That's right, that's exactly it."
Murong Chen was silent for a while, then exclaimed in amazement, "Brother Chi, you're amazing! This is too magical!"
Kong Chi smiled and said, "Alright, I didn't want to tell you, but I was thinking that if we switched back, it wouldn't be good if you let it slip to Daddy."
Murong Chen jumped up and down, saying, "How could you not tell me, Brother Chi? This is such a big deal! I've actually been poisoned! I, Murong Chen, have never been poisoned before!"
Kong Chi: “￣□￣｜｜”
There doesn't seem to be anything worth bragging about?
After saying this, Murong Chen completely switched into his chatterbox mode: "That Aunt Zheng is really despicable. I trusted her so much, and she actually poisoned me!"
"Of course, the most despicable one is that auntie. She's so scheming and vicious. No wonder you don't let me associate with her, Brother Chi!"
When Kong Chi heard him finally get to the point, he said earnestly, "Xiao Chen, through this incident, I also want to tell you that you must be more vigilant and not easily trust the people around you. Didn't you say that Daddy is often injured? It's hard to guarantee that some bad guys won't also have designs on you."
Murong Chen nodded seriously: "I'll remember, Brother Chi. But I don't need to worry too much. After all, with Brother Chi on the case, one is worth two. With Brother Chi protecting us, even a hungry wolf would be scared to death!"
Kong Chi: "..."
Could he say that he suddenly doesn't want to be the older brother anymore?
"...Alright, go to sleep." Seeing that Murong Chen was still going to keep going, Kong Chi understood that it was impossible to expect his younger brother to get it; he would have to put in more effort himself from now on.
As the older brother, he experienced for the first time what a "sweet burden" meant.
...
downstairs.
After putting the child to sleep, Kong Wange finally had time to take a bath.
For some reason, she felt that her son was a different person today, unusually clingy and difficult to coax.
If it weren't for that face that looked exactly like her son's, she would have doubted that this wasn't her son at all.
She sighed in the bathtub, picked up her phone, and began searching online for information about "Shadowgate".
After flipping through several pages, there was very little information about it online, not even an official website.
She found out the family head's surname was Qin and he was known as Master Qin in a forum, but that was all the information she could find.
The next post revealed that the "Galaxy Bar" in Jiangcheng is actually a property of Yingmen.
She opened her phone's notes app, wrote down the bar's address, and planned to go check it out the next day.
...
Galaxy Bar.
This bar isn't well-known in Jiangcheng because it's located in a secluded alley, and only a few seasoned partygoers know about it.
The bar is closed during the day, so Kong Wange can only come at night.
Under the dim lights, the music was loud and the crowd was boisterous.
As she walked in, she instinctively surveyed the bar's surroundings, unaware that she had been spotted by someone sitting in a booth near the entrance as soon as she entered.
Kong Mengjiao came to the Galaxy Hotel to drown her sorrows.
She had been plotting the poisoning for a long time, but in the end, not only did it fail to bring her closer to Murong Ting, it also forced her to pay off Aunt Zheng's debt.
Seeing her dream of becoming the young mistress of the Murong family teetering on the brink, she could only come here to drown her sorrows in alcohol.
However, the moment she saw Kong Wange, she sobered up halfway.
How dare Kong Wange come to a place like Galaxy Bar for entertainment behind Murong Ting's back?
If she takes photos of Kong Wange messing around in a bar and then sends them to Brother Ting...
Thinking of this, she instantly became excited.
Her chance has come!
The bar was crowded, and Kong Wange didn't notice the intense gazes behind her.
She walked to the bar and asked a bartender, "Excuse me, is your boss, Mr. Qin, here?"
"Go away, go away, I don't know, I'm busy!" The bartender waved his hand impatiently without even looking up.
"Smack!"
Kong Wange pulled out ten red bills from her bag, slapped them on the bar, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, sir."
The bartender paused, looked up at Kong Wange, and his attitude immediately changed: "Miss, Mr. Qin isn't often in the shop. He only comes occasionally. If you're not in a hurry, you can wait here and try your luck. If Mr. Qin comes, I'll point him out to you."
Kong Wange smiled at him: "Thank you, then could you please mix me a drink?"
She was already beautiful, but her smile was even more breathtaking.
The bartender took the money and excitedly shouted, "Okay, I'll make it for you right away!"
After a dazzling display of skill, the delivery guy pushed the drink in front of her.
Kong Wange leaned back in her chair, picked up her wine glass, and had only taken a few sips when a cloying, grating voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Oh, isn't this your older sister?"
