Qi Qi nodded obediently, reached out and took out a piece of potato chips from the bag and handed it to him, “Dad, eat it.”
“Okay.” Yan Qingchi obediently let him feed him a piece. He got into the back seat, opened the driver’s door, and got in.
When Zhang Xiao heard that Yan Qingchi was coming for an inspection, he immediately made all the arrangements and freed his own time to wait for the arrival of this distinguished guest.
However, he was a little curious, why did Yan Qingchi suddenly come for an inspection? It was not yet time for the next prenatal check-up yet. But he was a distinguished guest after all. Not to mention that Yan Qingchi was coming to check now, even if it was two o’clock in the morning, Zhang Xiao would have to get out of bed and contact other people to make arrangements for him.
Yan Qingchi parked the car outside the hospital and walked into the hospital with Qi Qi.
When Qi Qi saw the hospital, he became instinctively afraid and asked him, “Dad, are you sick?”
“No.”
“Is Qi Qi sick?”
Yan Qingchi found it a little funny, “Do you feel sick? I’m not, and neither are you.”
“Then why did we come to the hospital? The teacher said that the hospital is for patients.”
Yan Qingchi answered him patiently, “Dad is here to meet a friend. Dad’s friend is a doctor, a doctor Qi Qi, you know? He just treats patients.”
Qi Qi felt relieved, “Uncle doctor is very good. The teacher said that if you are sick, go to the doctor and the disease will be cured.”
“Yes, so. Let’s go see the awesome uncle.”
When the elevator reached the floor where Zhang Xiao’s office was located, Yan Qingchi led Qi Qi out of the elevator, came to the door of the familiar office, knocked on the door, and walked in. He saw Zhang Xiao sitting boredly watching a TV series on the computer.
A female voice came from the loudspeaker, shouting heartbreakingly, “No, Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. I was wronged. It was all because that bitch Shu Fei wanted to harm me.”
Sitting in front of the computer. Zhang Xiao’s face was expressionless, and he even looked a little sleepy.
Zhang Xiao didn’t expect him to come so quickly, so he immediately turned off the show and asked him, “What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly ask for a checkup?” As soon as he finished asking, he moved his eyes slightly and saw Qi Qi next to Yan Qingchi, “Who is this kid?”
Qi Qi greeted him obediently, “Hello, uncle, I’m Qi Qi.”
“My and Jiang Mochen’s child.” Yan Qingchi said.
Zhang Xiao was shocked. What was in his belly now was…a second child? Didn’t you already give birth to a child? Why were you still so surprised at that time? But he quickly realized, no, Jiang Mochen said they got married just this year, but looking at the age of this child… Zhang Xiao suddenly felt that his senior was quite romantic and passionate. He had not been married before, but it did not prevent him from having sex and a child. Yan Qingchi became a stepfather as soon as he got married. Alas, it was really not easy.
However, no matter how emotional he was in his heart, his face was calm and indifferent, “Then let Qi Qi stay here for now, I will accompany you to check. Come on, Qi Qi, you sit here and have something to eat first. Watch cartoons for a while.”
Zhang Xiao said, opened the drawer, took out some biscuits and buns, and found a cartoon for him to play.
Qi Qi looked up at Yan Qingchi, a little reluctant to stay here alone.
Yan Qingchi touched his head and said to Zhang Xiao: “You stay here to play with Qi Qi for me. I’ll go there by myself. I’m familiar with the process anyway.”
“How can this be done?”
“That’s it.” Yan Qingchi made the final decision, then lowered his head to look at Qi Qi, “Qi Qi will watch cartoons with uncle here for a while. Dad is going to meet a friend and will be back soon.”
“Then dad, please come back quickly.”
“Okay.” Yan Qingchi pinched his face, then pulled him to Zhang Xiao, “I leave him to you, treat my son well.”
Zhang Xiao: “…Wei Chen received the order, thank you[1].”
Yan Qingchi: …What should I do if I suddenly don’t feel so relieved…
Yan Qingchi got checked quickly. After all, because of Jiang Mochen, he had a dedicated team responsible for maintaining his health during pregnancy. The doctors in this team were all carefully selected by Zhang Xiao and Jiang Mochen. The carefully selected ones not only had the sense of what could be said and what could not, but also had excellent skills. They were even more cautious when dealing with Yan Qingchi and the child in his belly, not daring to show any slights.
As Yan Qingchi expected, there was nothing wrong with the child. Not only was there no problem, he was also very healthy. Yan Qingchi felt relieved and went back to Zhang Xiao’s office to find Qi Qi.
Qi Qi was still watching cartoons with Zhang Xiao. Zhang Xiao had probably asked him something. He was answering Zhang Xiao in a low voice with a very serious attitude. After speaking, he asked him, “Uncle, do you understand?”
Zhang Xiao was very happy. It was so rare that he made an expression of sudden realization, “When you said that, I understood, so it is like this.”
Seeing that he understood, Qi Qi continued to watch cartoons with him.
Yan Qingchi thought it was quite interesting seeing them together, so he walked in quietly without making a sound.
But Qi Qi still noticed it, and instantly stood up from the chair happily and ran to him, “Dad, you are back.”
“Well, is the cartoon good-looking?”
Qi Qi nodded, “It looks good.”
“Then Qi Qi will watch cartoons for a while. Dad will be busy for a while and write something.”
Qi Qi said “Oh” and ran to Zhang Xiao’s place to continue watching cartoons. He did not forget to tell him, “Dad, I’m here. Tell me when you’re done.”
“Okay.”
Yan Qingchi responded and took the pen and paper on Zhang Xiao’s desk. “I’ll use it.”
“You can use it as you like.”
Yan Qingchi sat on the chair opposite them, picked up the pen and drew from memory the people who surrounded him today.
At that time, he did not follow Zhou Yixing’s wishes to check the monitoring. Firstly, it was because he was concerned about the child in his belly, so he wanted to go to the hospital for examination first; secondly, he felt that something was strange about Zhou Yixing and did not want to cooperate with him; thirdly, Yan Qingchi felt that it was not necessary. Calling up the monitoring was easy to say, but it still took some time to do. It was better for him to draw it directly himself.
He had been trained in sketching since he was a boy, and he was not inferior to professionals in this aspect. Yan Qingchi’s love and proficiency in painting originally originated from character sketching training. Every time he finished a painting, his adoptive mother would praise him, “Xiao Chi, your painting is really good, just like a photo.”
Yan Qingchi liked the praise from his adoptive parents, which gave him a sense of accomplishment. So, over time, he fell in love with painting. It was only later when he had a younger brother, and his younger brother begged him while holding his thigh every day, that he changed his painting style to cartoon style.
When Yan Qingchi thought of this, he missed the time when his brother hugged him every day, and he didn’t know what had become of that little carrot head now that he was gone.
He finished the painting quickly, took photos and sent them to Wei Lan.
Then he walked out and called Wei Lan.
“What are you doing?” Wei Lan asked him while eating rice dumplings.
“I sent you some pictures on WeChat. Please help me find out who the boss of these people is and ask him to contact me.”
“Wait a minute.” Wei Lan said, and clicked on WeChat to check, “Hey, you drew it? Your drawing skills are very good, but why are you checking these people?”
“They are not doing anything, someone hired them to hurt me. I, I want to know who it is.” Yan Qingchi said truthfully.
“What did you say?” Wei Lan couldn’t believe it. “Is this person crazy? He doesn’t want to hang out in X city anymore? He doesn’t know that you are from the Jiang family?”
“Who knows? You can check it for me first. I guess it’s a small group of ruffians, maybe a bit big, but not very big yet. In this regard, your family’s channels are wider than those of the Jiang family, so I’ll owe you a favor and treat you to dinner next time.”
“Come on, where is your food so delicious? Isn’t it just checking someone? It’s just a matter of minutes. Just wait. I’ll ask their boss to kneel down and call you daddy in a moment. Who let him have eyes that don’t recognize gold and jade?”
“Ah, by the way,” Wei Lan suddenly thought, “Didn’t you tell me last time to see if there was anything wrong with Yuan Mingxu? I went to check and he is fine. He is alive and well. It seems that he and Zhou Yixing had a quarrel, but that’s normal. A playboy like Zhou Yixing can’t change his attitude towards eating shit, so he can’t satisfy Yuan Mingxu’s requirements, but there is no need to quarrel.”
Yan Qingchi nodded after hearing this. “Here, send me a photo of Zhou Yixing and let me take a look.”
What do you want his photo for?” Wei Lan was puzzled.
“You probably won’t believe me if I tell you. I was blocked just now. When the other party was fighting with me, a man suddenly appeared. Not only did he knock down two or three people for me, he also suggested that I call up the surveillance footage. The point is this man said his name was Zhou Yixing. Do you think this is strange?”
“Damn it, why is this like a TV series? It’s such a big deal! Just wait, I’ll send you a photo of Zhou Yixing first, and then I’ll find out who he is that wants to die.”
Wei Lan was very efficient. A few minutes after hanging up the phone, he sent a screenshot: Is this him?
Yan Qingchi chuckled: Yes, it’s this person.
Wei Lan clicked his tongue twice: He is really such a bas**rd, directing and acting in order to gain a sense of presence here. Just wait for me for a while and I will check it out.
Yan Qingchi: Yeah.
He put the phone back in his pocket and returned to Zhang Xiao’s office. Seeing that Qi Qi was still watching cartoons, he walked up to him and asked, “Till where did you see it?”
Zhang Xiao showed him the progress bar and said it would be over in ten minutes.
Yan Qingchi touched Qi Qi’s head, “Let’s go after watching it.”
Ten minutes later, Qi Qi finished watching the cartoon, jumped down from his chair, and waved to Zhang Xiao, “Goodbye, uncle.”
“Okay, Qi Qi come here to play often.”
Qi Qi was very used to answering this kind of greeting. No matter who said this, he would nod “Yeah”. As for whether he would come or not, it depended on Yan Qingchi and Jiang Mochen.
Yan Qingchi pulled him out of the hospital and got into the car. As soon as he placed Qi Qi in the child seat, he closed the door and was about to open the driver’s seat door when he heard a cell phone ringing. He took a look and saw that it was a strange call. After thinking about it for a while, he picked it up. “Hello.”
“Hey, Brother Yan, I was wrong. I really didn’t know who you were. It was all because of that bas**rd Yuan Mingxu who lied to me. I was deceived and listened to his nonsense just for a moment. I was wrong. I was really wrong. If I had known earlier that you were acquainted with the young prince of the Wei family, even if I had a hundred courages, I wouldn’t dare. Brother, you sir, I will do whatever you want to do about this matter. Even if you want me, Zhou Qiang, to apologize to you in front of you and give me a good beating to vent your anger, that’s fine too. Can we just close this chapter? I really didn’t know who you were. I was blind. I believed that bas**rd’s nonsense. But Brother Yan, I have dozens of brothers who are not all bas**rds. They have families and young people on the road. If you don’t let go, that will amount to offending the Wei family, then we really don’t have to mess around.”
Yan Qingchi didn’t expect Wei Lan to investigate the matter so quickly. The mastermind behind it was found too. So, he leaned on the car and spoke softly, “Why should I hit you? You didn’t come to hit me today. Even your subordinates didn’t take advantage of me one by one.”
“That’s that, Brother Yan, you are worthy of being a friend of the young prince of the Wei family. Your skills are outstanding. My brothers all said that your martial arts skills are unparalleled and that you are a god. You are no ordinary person at first glance.”
Yan Qingchi sneered, “You are so awesome. Flattery comes as soon as you open your mouth. Okay, I won’t talk nonsense to you. All I ask is that whoever gave you the order, you give it back intact. It’s that simple.”
“No problem, Brother Yan, don’t worry, this matter is all my fault. Yuan Mingxu, that bas**rd, dares to trick me. If I don’t teach him a lesson, he will really think that I am a fool. I will handle this matter myself. I promise to beat Yuan Mingxu, a bas**rd until even his mother can’t recognize him. Let him know what it means to play with fire and burn yourself.”
“What did Yuan Mingxu tell you? He only said to beat me, not to beat me to death?”
“Where does he dare? Besides, even if he dares, we don’t dare. Where are we? Who dares to go to jail for beating someone to death? Not everyone is a member of the Wei family, right??”
“Then he still has some brains, and you also have some brains.”
“Oh, that’s right. Then I will go and do what you asked me to do. If you need anything in the future, just call me and say hello. In a word, I, Zhou Qiang, won’t say anything. As long as you are happy.”
Yan Qingchi could understand his thoughts. What he was interested in was Wei Lan behind him, but Wei Lan probably couldn’t see it. So, he flattered him like this.
“Let me ask you something again,” Yan Qingchi said, “Tell me honestly, does Zhou Yixing know that you want to deal with me?”
The author has something to say:
Yuan Mingxu is a typical thief with heart but no courage. When he made the phone call, he wanted Yan Qingchi to disappear, so he called out on impulse, but then he didn’t dare to do so, so he had to change his request. I’m afraid some little angels will find it strange why he still wanted Qingchi to disappear in the first two chapters, but now it’s just a beating, so I’ll explain his thoughts in advance.
The matter has been investigated clearly, and it’s time to take revenge tomorrow~
