At 11 p.m., in the luxurious and spacious study, the nightlight shone on the solid wood bookshelves that smelled of books. The stern-faced man frowned slightly as he stared at the documents placed in front of him.
This was about Huo Jinchen and Huo Lanting.
It contained detailed records of Huo Jinchen’s marriage and the birth of Huo Lanting. It seems that once Huo Jinchen’s marriage failed, and after the divorce, he immediately took action, which led to the birth of Huo Lanting.
Based on his understanding of incubator foetal development and Huo Lanting’s birth time, Huo Lanting was very likely the last egg, the four-year-old child, and his mother’s last son.
This morning, he sent several strands of hair, along with his own, for DNA testing. The results of whether Huo Lanting was related to him by blood should be available by tomorrow morning at the latest.
Ji Qisen rested his chin on his hand, frowned and pondered for a moment before contacting his assistant to book tickets.
He wanted to visit that research institute and pay a visit to Luo Sinian in City A.
Just then, the phone rang. When he picked it up, it was Nie Yu.
Since Nie Yu last contacted him, he hadn’t seen him at all. He didn’t know why he was calling him now.
Looking at Nie Yu’s number, Ji Qisen suddenly became very interested in knowing how Nie Yu would feel if he knew that he was about to have a “four-year-old” little brother.
Before Ji Qisen could even speak after answering the phone, he heard Nie Yu shout from the other end, “Something terrible has happened! I’ve been in a car accident! Ji Qisen, come quick!”
Ji Qisen: “Car accident? Where are you? What happened?”
Nie Yu: “It’s nothing serious, don’t let anyone know, especially not my dad. You can come by yourself!”
Ji Qisen asked, enunciating each word clearly, “Tell me, where are you?”
Nie Yu: “I’ll send you my location via WeChat!”
After hanging up the phone, Nie Yu quickly sent a WeChat message, saying that he was at a hospital near the highway in the suburbs.
Ji Qisen didn’t dare to delay, so he immediately drove himself, speeding all the way to the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, he saw Nie Yu sitting casually in the hospital corridor with his legs crossed. When he saw Ji Qisen, he yawned widely and said, “You’ve finally arrived!”
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Ji Qisen almost punched him.
He suddenly called him and said he was in a car accident, he was so panicked that he ran a red light and sped over. And that’s how he was?
Ji Qisen’s face darkened: “Weren’t you in a car accident?”
Nie Yu shrugged and said helplessly, “Yes, I was in a car accident.”
Ji Qisen raised an eyebrow; he simply didn’t want to say anything.
Nie Yu noticed, coughed, and whispered, “But I’m not injured…”
Ji Qisen frowned slightly and looked at the closed ward next door: “Who’s injured?”
Nie Yu whispered even more softly, “Luo Juntian.”
Ji Qisen couldn’t understand: “Him?”
Nie Yu coughed again guiltily, “He was driving me, and I was sitting in the passenger seat. Suddenly, an old lady appeared and started crossing the highway. He tried to avoid her and crashed into the guardrail… Luckily, it wasn’t anything serious… just a minor injury.”
Ji Qisen stared at Nie Yu in confusion: “Huh? So, in the middle of nowhere, you and Luo Juntian were riding in the same car? What were you doing?”
If he remembered correctly, Nie Yu and Luo Juntian didn’t get along. When did these two become so close?
Seeing Ji Qisen’s stern face, Nie Yu had no choice but to tell him what had happened.
“Actually, this is what happened. Lu Zhiqian has already terminated his contract, so I wanted to bring in some fresh faces and thought I’d talk to him about it…”
Nie Yu coughed lightly. Of course, he wouldn’t say that after he had completely won over Lu Zhiqian, he found it too easy to win over one of his own artists. He suddenly felt that he should bring Luo Juntian under his wing. That way, wouldn’t he be able to control Luo Sinian’s son and thus control Luo Sinian?
In this way, Luo Sinian could forget about having anything to do with his mother.
In order to recruit Luo Juntian into his ranks, Nie Yu naturally resorted to some underhanded tactics, but who would have thought… he’d get into a car accident…
Nie Yu lowered his head guiltily: “Hey… I didn’t mean anything by it. I just wanted to strengthen our brotherhood so we could cooperate amicably…”
Ji Qisen was completely speechless.
How could he know someone like Nie Yu? And why was this person his brother?
He was there racking his brains trying to find his mother’s last son, but this guy was causing trouble here?
In the middle of nowhere, Luo Juntian and him? What were they doing?!
Nie Yu was also helpless. He couldn’t tell his father, his mother, or his subordinates about this matter, but now he was facing a big problem.
He could only tell Ji Qisen…
Stealing a glance at Ji Qisen’s face, which was brimming with anger, he quickly said, “Second Brother, I admit I was wrong about this, but I think the most important thing now is to find a way to make amends! What do you think? Our eldest brother is still lying in the hospital bed!”
Mentioning this made Ji Qisen even more furious: “What exactly happened? How is he now? Why is he in such a small hospital after a car accident? Don’t you know to hurry up and find a doctor?!”
It was clear that Ji Qisen was genuinely furious.
Ji Qisen, who was always aloof and dignified, never used foul language, but now he actually uttered swear words through gritted teeth.
Nie Yu quickly said, “No, he’s fine. He only suffered minor injuries, nothing serious. This small hospital can handle it, so you don’t need to worry about it!”
Ji Qisen was left speechless.
He rubbed his forehead wearily, wondering why he hadn’t gone to sleep after a busy day at work and instead had come to chat with Nie Yu.
He took a deep breath, telling himself to calm down, and finally said, “Tell me, what happened? Why did you call me here?”
Nie Yu sighed softly, saying helplessly, “It’s just that my brother and I had a little accident. My brother was injured, and the doctor said he needs to get an injection as a preventative measure.”
Ji Qisen: “Hmm, so you called me here to give him the injection?”
Thinking of this, Nie Yu said even more helplessly, “But my brother… is afraid of injections. He resolutely refuses to get injections or take medicine, and I can’t do anything about it. The doctor said that it would be best to persuade him to get injections, otherwise there might be a risk of infection.”
Ji Qisen frowned: “What do you mean?”
Nie Yu was both amused and exasperated. He touched his nose and said, “That’s exactly what I meant. He’s afraid of injections.”
Ji Qisen: “?”
Nie Yu spread his hands: “I think my second brother has always been the most capable and intelligent, so I would like to ask you to think of a way to persuade him to get the injection.”
Ji Qisen: “…”
Why did you contact me? Do I seem like the kind of person who could coax someone into getting a shot?
….
Ji Qisen wasn’t good at coaxing people to get injections, but he still followed Nie Yu into the ward.
When he entered the ward, he saw someone lying on the bed, covered by a blanket, with only half of their head showing.
Judging from that hairstyle, this was Luo Juntian.
Ji Qisen frowned and looked at Nie Yu with a puzzled expression.
Is this Luo Juntian? Something feels off about him.
Looking at Luo Juntian hiding under the covers, Nie Yu almost laughed helplessly, but remembering that it was his fault this time, he had to force himself to suppress his laughter. He took a deep breath and said in a concerned tone, “Brother, the doctor said you still need to get the injection. If you don’t get the injection, you’ll have to get an IV drip.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the person under the blanket immediately pulled the white blanket up, completely covering the last half of their head that was sticking out.
Ji Qisen’s eyes widened in disbelief. He stared at the human-shaped mound on the bed and noticed that the mound was trembling slightly.
Is this really Luo Juntian?
Luo Juntian was trembling under the covers because he was afraid of getting a shot.
Nie Yu understood Ji Qisen’s shock; in fact, when he first discovered it, he couldn’t believe it either.
The ever-calm, composed, and confident movie star Luo Juntian, admired by countless fans, was actually terrified by a syringe? Wasn’t he from a research institute? Wasn’t he from a family of doctors? Wasn’t his father a renowned physician?
But he was so scared that his lips turned pale, he trembled, and even his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Nie Yu took a deep breath and said with great sympathy, “There’s nothing we can do. Our eldest brother is afraid of needles, so there’s nothing we can do!”
He spread his hands and shrugged: “He obviously doesn’t want anyone else to know, and I can’t ask anyone else either, so I had to ask you about what to do. The doctor said that although it’s a minor injury, he needs to get an injection at least; just taking medicine won’t work. I don’t know how to comfort him, and I don’t know how to persuade him, so I had to ask you to help me think of a solution.”
Ji Qisen sneered: “Do you think I’d coax him?”
Nie Yu: “You always have a better way than me. Who told you to be the older brother, right? Besides, haven’t you always been smarter than me since we were kids?”
Ji Qisen glared at him fiercely. He had never called him “brother” so fluently before, nor had he ever admitted that he was smarter than him. It was only when something happened that he knew to call him “brother” and knew to say that he was smart.
Nie Yu quickly flashed a fawning smile: “Second Brother…”
Ji Qisen just wanted to kick him.
But anger aside, the problem still needed to be solved.
Ji Qisen stepped forward solemnly and tentatively said, “Luo—”
He paused briefly, then called, “Big Brother?”
There was no echo or movement from inside the quilt; even the shivering that had been there moments before had stopped.
Ji Qisen frowned, looked at Nie Yu, and then said, “Brother, since the doctor said we should get an injection, it seems we should. Here’s what we’ll do: you watch out for other places and the doctor will give you the injection. It’ll be over in a flash and won’t hurt at all.”
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the sound of teeth clattering together came from under the covers, followed by a trembling voice saying, “I… I don’t want a shot…Don’t mention the needle…Don’t mention the needle to me, the needle, I don’t want the needle…”
If Ji Qisen had previously harbored doubts about the fact that the person shivering under the quilt was actually Luo Juntian, now it was undoubtedly true.
That voice was indeed Luo Juntian’s.
But what he said… sounded like a three-year-old.
Ji Qisen realized this and could hardly bear to look.
Who would have thought that the elegant and composed Luo Juntian could be so frightened by a syringe?
This matter is indeed not suitable for more people to know.
Otherwise, if word gets out… it will be incredibly embarrassing.
Ji Qisen pulled Nie Yu back, back, and back again.
Only after leaving the ward did he grit his teeth and lower his voice to say, “What do we do now?”
A hint of helplessness appeared in Nie Yu’s light brown eyes: “I don’t know either… but we can’t just ignore him. He was driving at the time, and I was in the passenger seat. He was injured because he braked suddenly and turned right.”
Everyone knows that the front passenger seat is actually the most dangerous position, because in an emergency, the driver will instinctively turn the steering wheel to the left, thus exposing the front passenger seat to danger.
However, at that moment, although the two were not having a pleasant conversation, Luo Juntian still chose to turn the steering wheel to the right.
This wasn’t a thought-provoking decision; it was an instinctive reaction because time was so tight.
It was just a minor car accident with no serious consequences. He only suffered minor injuries, so it didn’t seem like anything serious. But no one could have predicted what would have happened.
If the car accident had been more serious, it could very well have resulted in someone’s death.
Thinking of this, Nie Yu turned his face away and pursed his lips.
When he spoke again, his voice trembled slightly: “Second brother, he was injured while protecting me.”
