Chapter Index
    Qi Yi Liao didn’t take Zhang Zhen abroad.

    Zhang Zhen was left in the country, and the instructions he received were to watch over Lanmo Mansion.

    Lanmo Mansion has a dense surveillance network and a top-notch bodyguard team, so there’s no need for him.

    The real job Third Brother gave him was to take care of Jiao Bai.

    Zhang Zhen was depressed. This was the first time Third Brother hadn’t taken him to work, and when he faced Jiao Bai, he unconsciously exuded resentment.

    Jiao Bai stood in front of the bookshelf on the first floor, looking for a book: “If you want to follow your Third Brother, just buy a plane ticket and fly over.”

    Zhang Zhen kept a straight face and didn’t say a word.

    The color blocks on the avatar suddenly flew to the upper right corner, shooting towards Jiao Bai one by one.

    Swish, swish, swish.

    Jiao Bai: “…”

    Damn it.

    What’s Xiao Li’s flying knife? Xiao Zhang’s flying blocks are truly awesome.

    “Do you want to go back to South City?” Zhang Zhen asked quietly.

    Jiao Bai turned the pages of the book peacefully: “Whatever happens, happens.”

    Zhang Zhen asked again: “What about your studies? I heard you’re in your third year of high school, and you’ll be taking the college entrance exam next year. Aren’t you worried?”

    Jiao Bai said in a tone as if he had seen through the world: “Whatever happens, happens.”

    The muscles in Zhang Zhen’s arms tensed up, and the joints that had been stained with blood and injured rattled.

    The color blocks formed a gun.

    Jiao Bai…

    Jiao Bai handed the book to Zhang Zhen.

    Zhang Zhen took it confusedly, and heard him say, “I was wrong.”

    “I shouldn’t be so decadent and unmotivated.” Jiao Bai sighed, “But I can’t help it, my fate is not up to me.”

    It was as if the end of that sentence was “Little Brother.”

    But it wasn’t.

    Zhang Zhen suppressed the inexplicable disappointment in his heart: “Everyone in the world has their own difficulties and hardships.”

    He raised his pure and beautiful eyebrows: “You should work hard.”

    Jiao Bai laughed: “Am I not working hard enough?”

    Zhang Zhen was stumped by the question. He had seen too many girls and boys who clung to the upper class, they all had beautiful appearances, young bodies, and eyes full of pain or vanity.

    But the person in front of him was not like those people, he was different.

    This didn’t need Shen Ji and Third Brother to prove it, Zhang Zhen could feel it himself.

    Otherwise, Zhang Zhen wouldn’t have said these things to him, like an older brother.

    Normally, Zhang Zhen wouldn’t care.

    Zhang Zhen tightened his grip on the book in his hand, he still hadn’t found the child in his dream who called him Little Brother.

    With his connections, he couldn’t find him.

    So, was he… gone?

    Zhang Zhen heard his own dry voice: “Can you call me…”

    Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly woke up, and at that moment, he heard a call with a lively smile in his ear: “Little Brother.”

    Zhang Zhen turned his head blankly.

    Something exploded in his mind, but it was all white.

    Jiao Bai rested an arm on the bookshelf, and said casually, “I want to use my phone.”

    Zhang Zhen frowned warily: “What do you want a phone for?”

    Jiao Bai smiled without saying a word. What else could he do but reveal his identity?

    The account suddenly logged in automatically, and Shen Ji’s activity level soared to 49.99.

    Jiao Bai’s eyes narrowed slightly.

    He didn’t want to interfere with Old Shen Dog’s self-torture before, but this time he had to put some thought into figuring it out.

    Activity is a good thing.

    Whether you are a small person or a big person, it can reflect your inner world.

    50 and 100 should be…

    The sublimation of emotions.

    Old Shen Dog’s activity level with him had reached the critical point of the first half.

    It was still 0.01 short.

    The moment he appeared in front of Old Shen Dog would be that 0.01.

    This was the result of Old Shen Dog’s self-torture, temporary. Jiao Bai wasn’t too surprised, because that day, after Old Shen Dog hit him, Pikachu huddled together and didn’t look at him.

    That ball of pink seemed to be still trembling.

    With Pikachu around, it was easy to guess Old Shen Dog’s mental journey.

    When you realize you are sexually attracted to something other than a dog, your first reaction is to escape.

    That’s human instinct, self-defense.

    But if you run away, clear your mind, and fix the small deviations in your life trajectory, thinking you’re safe after a while, you suddenly find that the small deviation not only hasn’t been fixed, but has spread, and even the surrounding trajectory has been corroded, and you’ve missed the best time to repair it…

    Jiao Bai stopped talking to Zhang Zhen. He walked out of the castle in small steps, all the way to the eaves of the front door, listening to the winter rain hitting the blue bricks.

    Old Shen Dog’s self-torture hasn’t ended, it’s just reached a peak. He still doesn’t admit that he’s emotionally affected by a dog, so he needs to do a final verification.

    He’s probably going to send someone to investigate me, Jiao Bai guessed.

    That was the part that Old Shen Dog didn’t think it was necessary to investigate before, the part he disdained to know.

    Once Old Shen Dog finds out that part, the scheme that Jiao Bai and Qi Shuang conspired will be exposed.

    By then, Qi Shuang will be hard-pressed to protect himself, let alone hold back Old Shen Dog’s anger.

    Jiao Bai stretched out his hand to catch the rainwater, the coolness burrowing into his palm, but the blood in his whole body was flowing rapidly, and the blood was surging upwards.

    A tough battle is about to begin.

    It’s good that it’s coming, this knife has been hanging over his head for a while.

    Jiao Bai looked at the activity level again, still 49.9. The unchanging number was silently notifying something.

    It was more beneficial for the knife to fall now than it was before.

    Because this 49.9 didn’t rise all at once, it was the result of ups and downs for half a month.

    It shows that even if Old Shen Dog doesn’t admit it yet, he has already recognized some things. There was no escape, he had to face it.

    While Jiao Bai was pondering, Shen Er’an’s activity level increased by 7 points.

    From 30 to 37.

    At this time, Shen Er’an was still in school, right? What was he thinking…

    South City, Three Middle School.

    Shen Er’an handed in the test paper and left the classroom. Liang Dong followed closely, jumping and chasing after him, the open school uniform jacket revealing a wanton arc: “An Brother, let’s go play ball?”

    Shen Er’an turned to the stairwell: “No, I won’t go.”

    “Then let’s go to the bookstore?” Liang Dong jumped down the steps behind him, “You’ve been reading a book a lot lately, do you want to buy a few new ones to flip through?”

    Someone came up from downstairs.

    They were two students from the next class who sneaked back to the classroom during physical education class, a boy and a girl. They had a very good relationship, talking and laughing. The boy was even whiter and more delicate than the girl. As soon as he came, he became the new school belle of Three Middle School.

    “Little beauty.” Liang Dong raised his hand holding the cigarette case.

    Li Jue’s face turned red, and he climbed the stairs with his head down. When he passed by him, he said in a very low voice, “Have you been skipping class?”

    “No, we had an exam, it’s over.” Liang Dong hooked his fair neck, “What’s…”

    Li Jue muttered: “I haven’t contacted Little Qiu Brother.”

    Liang Dong exploded on the spot: “Who the hell told you to say this!”

    He panted roughly a few times, glared at Li Jue, who was frightened and pale, and Skip him away.

    He hadn’t mentioned Jiao Bai in the past half month, as if he had forgotten the harmful spirit. What the hell was Li Jue mentioning, making everyone unhappy?

    The atmosphere in the stairwell was very stuffy.

    Shen Er’an stopped on the stairs, and Liang Dong didn’t move either.

    Li Jue realized that it was his fault, but he didn’t know why. He was worried about Little Qiu Brother. The money was transferred, but there was no news, and he kept calling, but the phone was turned off. He even went to the police station to report the case. It ended without a result.

    The girl took his arm: “Little Jue, let’s go.”

    Li Jue said “hmm” distractedly.

    The girl’s action of raising her foot was very slow. She peeked at Shen Er’an, bit her lip, and ran up with her head down.

    Li Jue saw her lie in the corridor looking down, and said in a low voice, “Aren’t you going to say hello to him?”

    The girl shook her head: “We haven’t talked.”

    “The New Year is coming soon.” Li Jue looked at the handsome teenager downstairs with her, “The New Year will be followed by June, you’ll graduate, don’t you feel regret?”

    “High school is mainly for studying, I don’t have the energy to think about anything else.” The girl’s fingertips Swipe on the wall of the corridor, “Let’s talk about it when we get to college.”

    Li Jue turned her head and admired: “You’re really amazing, I can’t control myself.”

    “What?”

    “It’s nothing, it’s going to snow soon.” As soon as Li Jue finished speaking, Liang Dong, who was standing next to Shen Er’an downstairs, turned his head back, and he squatted down quickly.

    Li Jue had a secret, he could easily hide it from others, but if he didn’t want to be discovered by Liang Dong, he had to be careful.

    Because Liang Dong was that person’s best friend.

    Liang Dong withdrew his gaze: “An Brother, should I go to your rental house to play? The last time was in the summer… An Brother?”

    Shen Er’an had already run to the school gate, and the car he called had also arrived.

    Liang Dong’s sports cells were well-developed, and he ran like a ball of fire, but this time, no matter how fast he ran, he still ate the exhaust fumes of the taxi.

    The Shen family had fallen into hell in the past two weeks.

    The lower levels couldn’t contact the chairman, they only felt that everyone in the group was tense, and they couldn’t feel anything else.

    But the chairman’s assistants, as well as the senior executives who needed to report on the progress of their work and occasionally attend meetings, were very tormented. One by one, their endocrine systems were out of balance, and their eyes were blue.

    Chen Yiming was entrusted with an important task, but he couldn’t complete it.

    The current chairman was no longer the chairman he used to be. He had sent several young lovers to the hospital one after another, but he couldn’t restrain his violence.

    The young lovers were terrified. The chairman didn’t treat them as people at all recently, there was no transition, it was all done in one step. They would rather hang water in the hospital than lie in the chairman’s arms.

    Chen Yiming had no choice but to find someone else, from “Di Ye.” The outside world felt this unrest and was watching the situation.

    With Jiao Bai staying in West City, the chairman didn’t know if he had contacted Director Qi.

    Zhang Zhen revealed that Director Qi had gone abroad and wouldn’t be back until tomorrow or the day after at the earliest. Now Jiao Bai was the only one in Lanmo Mansion.

    Chen Yiming walked into the office with heavy steps. Before he could open his mouth, Shen Ji on the leather chair told him to drag the person out.

    Shen Ji crossed his legs, and a boy squatted next to his shiny leather shoes. He was covering his mouth and gagging, his delicate shoulders shaking, which was endearing.

    Hearing that he was going to be kicked out by the sugar daddy, the boy crawled out from under the table and shouted in shame and anger: “Leave then! Do you think I want to be kept by you? I’m not with you for the money!”

    He was a cute and delicate boy, with a small wound at the corner of his mouth. His throat had been rubbed many times, and his voice was hoarse. His red eyes widened, and there was a flame of unyielding and stubbornness in his eyes.

    The boy wiped his eyes and face fiercely, and continued to stare. His small world seemed to be supported by a tenacious tree, and it would never collapse.

    There was only the boy’s suppressed sobbing in the office.

    Chen Yiming didn’t raise his head. He thought that this was also a rebellious person, with a healthy body, a beautiful face, and a good education as a student from a famous school. No matter how you looked at it, he was more suitable to be tamed by the chairman.

    A disgusted command rang out from behind the desk: “Drag him out.”

    Chen Yiming took the trembling boy out, and when he returned, the chairman gave him a job.

    “Report to me before get off work.” Shen Ji turned the leather chair to face the prosperous corner of South City outside the floor-to-ceiling window, his tone was emotionless, only cold.

    Chen Yiming couldn’t see the chairman’s expression, but his heart was still beating like a drum: “Yes.”

    When the chairman first asked him to check Jiao Bai’s address, he had the idea of checking it all at once, but the chairman didn’t say anything, so he didn’t dare to investigate privately.

    The chairman didn’t let him check everything, probably because he was afraid that the more he checked, the more he would think about the youth.

    However, the fact that the chairman could take the time to think about it was proof that he cared, right?

    There was a glimmer of it at that time.

    Today, it finally took shape.

    Chen Yiming took the order to investigate Jiao Bai’s family background, investigating his nineteen years of life.

    He could guess the chairman’s motive for investigating.

    The chairman wanted to use something to tie Jiao Bai down. Since he was too slippery, he would start with his relatives.

    No one reminded the chairman that the date of his registration with the youngest member of the Qi family had been postponed, and today was the new time he had changed himself.

    Chen Yiming closed the door, waved his hand to tell the probing assistants to get busy, went to the bathroom to wash his face, calmed his terrified mood, and then called someone to handle the matter.

    Shen Er’an came to Shen’s at this time. He went straight to the top floor and stood in that person’s office.

    “Uncle Qi has gone abroad, he’s alone in Lanmo Mansion, I want to pick him up.” Shen Er’an said very smoothly, without a single pause.

    Shen Ji threw the lighter on the documents on the desk. This son of his wanted to run to West City every now and then. If he hadn’t withheld his documents and sent a few people to watch him, he didn’t know how much of a joke he would have made of the Shen family.

    “Are you still breastfeeding?” Shen Ji sneered.

    Shen Er’an wasn’t hurt. He straightened the school uniform that was a little messy from running, and looked at the legend of the business world calmly.

    “Your Uncle Qi is taking care of him for me, not worrying about you.” Shen Ji smoked, his facial lines cold and hard, “What’s it to you?”

    Shen Er’an lowered his eyes.

    “Go back to school and fold your origami.” Shen Ji picked up the ashtray, “Don’t wave in front of your old man.”

    Shen Er’an’s fingers, which had been poked with several red marks by the pen, were slightly closed: “Don’t you think he’s like an audience, watching us, watching this world?”

    Shen Ji’s action of flicking the ashes paused slightly. The next moment, he slammed the ashtray heavily on the table: “Get out!”

    Shen Er’an faced his anger calmly.

    This person was self-centered and arrogant, didn’t realize that point, but still couldn’t stand to hear such words.

    Shen Ji saw sarcasm in his son’s eyes, which were similar to his own. He was furious, and threw the ashtray out.

    Shen Er’an dodged the ashtray. He couldn’t get hurt at this time.

    He was going to West City, he couldn’t wait any longer.

    Seeing that his attack was dodged, Shen Ji stood up angrily and strode towards his son. The posture was to cripple him.

    “Chairman!”

    Chen Yiming’s voice came from outside the office.

    Shen Ji stopped: “Come in.”

    Chen Yiming walked into the office with a document bag in his hand. He seemed to have been shocked by something, and didn’t even bother to worry about the confrontation between the father and son.

    Shen Ji opened his mouth, the cigarette at his lips Shake up and down: “Did you check?”

    Chen Yiming’s head hung down.

    Shen Ji kicked him: “Are you mute?”

    There was cold sweat on Chen Yiming’s forehead, but it wasn’t caused by being kicked. He handed over the document bag in his hand.

    Shen Ji glanced at the pinch marks and sweat stains on the bag. He open the bag expressionlessly and shook out a document from it.

    At this moment, the office was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

    Chen Yiming’s heart stopped beating. The document was Wang Chuqiu, that is, everything about Jiao Bai.

    The things that were investigated were too dramatic.

    The information showed that during Jiao Bai’s two years in Qinxin Garden, the money Shen’s family gave him was gradually transferred to a neighbor’s younger brother.

    Logically speaking, Jiao Bai didn’t have much savings when he left Qinxin Garden, but he had money, 20 million.

    He used 20 million to find connections to enter Three Middle School, and not long ago gave Jiang Yan 2 million, which was very comfortable.

    However, that money…

    It involved the youngest member of the Qi family.

    It involved a conspiracy to plot against the Shen family and the chairman.

    The chairman was played.

    Chen Yiming’s back was wet, and he gave a wink to the unknowing young master at the risk of his life.

    Immersed in his own world, Shen Er’an came out slightly and made eye contact with him.

    Chen Yiming said with his mouth: Leave quickly.

    “Bang.”

    The documents fell from Shen Ji’s hand to the ground, scattered in a mess. He took two puffs of cigarette, stepped on the paper and walked to the desk: “Notify Qi Zi Zhi, let him bring his brother to Shen’s, now, immediately.”

    Chen Yiming was still stunned.

    In an instant, everything on the desk was Wave it on the ground.

    Immediately afterwards, the heavy desk was kicked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and the corner of the desk Wipe out a sharp noise that made people’s ears ring on the ground.

    Shen Ji took out a gun from the safe and threw it on the table. The small scar left by the car accident on his brow bone Give it a little. He roared with a ferocious expression: “Let them roll over here!”

    Note
