After a few days, there was some progress in Li Qingyun’s case.
This matter was extremely simple. Shui Yang was speechless when he came to report: “Li Qingyun has a granddaughter and a grandson. The granddaughter is quite obedient, but the grandson is simply a playboy. Before Li Qingyun went bankrupt, Li Kun was very spoiled. He had a problem, he loved gambling and was very proud. After Li Qingyun went bankrupt, he still couldn’t control his hands. He went for a gamble and lost, such that Li Qingyun almost chopped off his hand.”
“This incident was caused by Li Kun. After his family fell into decline, he was ostracized by a group of drinking buddies. He took this batch of finished pearls and went to the club to show off to them. In the end, he couldn’t resist the temptation and got into trouble with them. Not only did he lose the pearls, he almost lost his pants.”
Chi Yan nodded: “No wonder Li Qingyun was so angry.”
The hopeless descendant was nothing more than a pool of mud. Even lying in the coffin, he couldn’t help but be angry.
Shui Yang said: “This amount of money is not a small sum for Li Kun. His family can’t pay it back. He almost wanted to bet his sister to win back the pearl.”
Chi Yan tapped the table with his finger: “Did those people stop?”
“Yes, his friends probably didn’t agree to the bet with Li Kun because they were afraid that the matter would get out of hand.”
Chi Yan sneered: “They are indeed afraid of making things worse, because their only target were the pearls and Li Qingyun. Those people are as brainless as Li Qingyun. I guess someone is behind them.”
Shui Yang was confused and unsure: “Who could it be?”
Chi Yan asked, “Who do you think they will listen to?”
Shui Yang was shocked: “Chi Yiming?”
Chi Yan nodded: “Where is Li Kun now?”
Shui Yang: “He’s hiding in an internet cafe. He’s afraid his father and grandfather will beat him to death if he goes home, so he’s been hiding in the internet cafe for several days.” He couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, what should we do with Li Kun now? Should we let him go?”
To Shui Yang, Li Kun was a useless hindrance. No value could be squeezed out of him even if he was found, and the pearls could not be recovered. If he was killed, Li Qingyun would probably die with him.
Chi Yan sneered, “Let him go? Find him, break his hands, and throw him in jail.”
Shui Yang hesitated: “What if Li Qingyun gets angered to death…”
Chi Yan’s eyes were extremely cold: “Then just let him be angered to death.” For Chi Yan, being isolated and helpless was better than having stupid teammates holding him back. At least if he lost Li Qingyun, there would still be the next one.
Chi Yan said coldly and picked up the suit jacket on the chair.
Shui Yang knew that he was going home again. Chi Yan seemed to be especially punctual in returning home recently.
Shui Yang felt so heavy in his heart that he wanted to laugh because of this realization. He boldly asked, “Boss, is Miss Jiang waiting for you at home?”
Chi Yan paused and looked at him: “No.” However, the darkness in his eyes was tinged with light, and he himself was not aware of it.
Shui Yang felt a little melancholy. Feelings that even he himself didn’t dare to face were the most torturous.
The iron tree finally bloomed, but it didn’t even know it and thought its body was covered with indestructible thorns.
Chi Yan went home, took out the key and opened the door, and what caught his eye was the sofa which had changed color.
In the past, the decoration style of his house was gloomy, mostly black, white and gray. However, in just over half a month, it completely changed its appearance.
The sofa cover was changed to light blue, the pillows had become soft and cute, there were a few tropical fish in the glass tank in the entrance cabinet, and many flowers were planted on the balcony.
It seemed that every time he came home, there would be more things here. The cold tones were gradually replaced by warm colors, and his hard heart was pulled into a honey pot and soaked.
Jiang Sui did not touch the money in his bank card. She used her own money. She wanted to make his home less depressing and a little warmer. This way, Chi Yan wouldn’t have to look so stern all the time and would be happier.
For the first time, she mustered up the courage to change the sofa cover, and saw that Chi Yan had no reaction. However, from that day on, he really came home every day.
Jiang Sui was encouraged and bought many more things that were full of vitality.
Most of the time when he returned home, someone would happily call him, “Chi Yan, you’re back!”
But today, the crisp and soft sounds disappeared, and the only sound in the huge house was the sound of the fish tank oxygen pump. Chi Yan frowned.
He realized that habit was a terrible thing.
He tried to stay calm on the sofa for a while but couldn’t help but call Jiang Sui. The phone rang in her room, but no one was at home.
His face sank terribly, and his heart felt like it was being pinched in someone’s hand, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He always felt that even if the little vase that did not completely belong to him disappeared one day, went home or was snatched away by someone, he would at most feel sad for a while, but would not have any more emotions.
But at this moment, veins bulged on the back of his hand, and he called Shui Yang: “Where’s Li Kun? Have you found him?”
Shui Yang said: “No, the network administrator said he suddenly went out this afternoon.”
Chi Yan gritted his teeth and said, “Find the person!”
His mind worked quickly, skipping over many dark things. For Chi Yiming, who was more important, the pearls or Jiang Sui?
He didn’t know Chi Yiming’s answer, but he remembered that night when she pitifully asked him not to leave her to Chi Yiming no matter what happened.
Chi Yan closed his eyes and said in a suppressed voice, “Jiang Sui is missing. Find Li Kun and tell him that you don’t want the pearls anymore. I won’t pursue the matter. Tell him not to touch her!”
Shui Yang was stunned for a while and repeated: “No more?” Did the boss still know what he was saying?
Didn’t they agree that it was just a youthful obsession, a liking as shallow as water?
Shui Yang was about to speak, asking him to calm down, but the next moment he seemed to hear the sound of a door opening on the other end of the phone.
Chi Yan’s side suddenly became quiet.
As soon as Jiang Sui opened the door, she saw Chi Yan standing in the living room and he suddenly looked up at her.
His eyes were so scary that she was stunned for a moment, and then she hid the black bag in her hand behind her back.
She suddenly got her period, and since the house didn’t have any sanitary napkins, she had to go out and buy them herself.
The next moment, someone held her head down and her forehead slammed into the man’s arms.
She was a little confused and almost dropped her sanitary napkins because of fright.
What happened to Chi Yan?
