GBT Chapter 53
by VolareHe even said that his youngest daughter-in-law would also come.
Qi Yi Liao hadn’t seen that kid for a while, only hearing from his subordinates that he had been eating and drinking every day, and had gained back the weight.
Originally, Qi Yi Liao was going to pick him up, but he received a message halfway and came here instead, the time was still early, so he was on time.
In the back seat of the car, Qi Yi Liao closed his eyes to rest, with earphones in his ears.
Zhang Zhen brushed the snow off his legs and returned to report: “Third Brother!”
Qi Yi Liao pulled off one earphone: “Mm?”
“The person committed suicide by swallowing a gun.” Zhang Zhen stated the process in the wind and snow.
“Didn’t try to escape?” Qi Yi Liao’s back slightly left the leather seat. He pulled a cigarette from the cigarette case, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.
“No.” Zhang Zhen pulled off his leather gloves and lit a cigarette for his Third Brother with a lighter, “That kid ran away last time, but this time he didn’t even resist. As soon as we caught him, he sent himself on his way.”
Qi Yi Liao’s brow suddenly twitched: “Check where he is.”
Zhang Zhen was puzzled: “Who?”
“Xiao Bai!” Qi Yi Liao pressed the cigarette he had just taken out back into the cigarette case, pulled off both earphones, and ordered, restraining his breathing, “Tell me his news as soon as possible.”
Zhang Zhen quickly contacted the brothers protecting Jiao Bai, and learned that he had been taken away by the people from the Old Home. They didn’t dare to follow the Shen family’s car, nor did they stop them.
Zhang Zhen asked Yu Xiang if he had followed.
Hearing that he hadn’t, Zhang Zhen’s eyelids twitched. With that clingy Yu Xiang not around, this was a big problem!
Just as Qi Yi Liao’s car was rushing back, Shen Ji, who was in a meeting, received a video.
Sent from an unknown number.
The video showed Jiao Bai tied up and thrown in a corner.
And a familiar voice.
“Chairman Shen, you ruined my Qi family, leaving us no way out. I can’t touch you, so I can only collect this debt from your wife.” Qi Zi Zhi’s voice was strangely hoarse, his throat ruined, he said, “Thank your mother for me. Happy New Year to your whole family in advance.”
That was it.
The video ended there.
Shen Ji hadn’t returned to Qin Lin Garden for a while, basically spending his nights at his lover’s place. He had been waiting for his Xiao Gou to crawl back to him, and had even been thinking during the day about taking advantage of tonight to bed Xiao Gou.
Anyway, the injury must have healed.
Who knew that such an unexpected accident would occur, the great gift sent by his defeated opponent caused him great humiliation.
Everyone in the conference room didn’t know what was going on, only seeing the chairman’s eyes quickly burst with rage. Then, he threw his phone out with force, kicked open the conference table, and ran out.
Chen Yi Ming didn’t dare to chase after him.
Others didn’t hear Qi Zi Zhi’s words clearly, but he did.
Jiao Bai was kidnapped by that desperate Qi Zi Zhi, and how was the Old Lady involved in this? Shouldn’t she just be chanting scriptures peacefully? Why was she messing around so recklessly!
Chen Yi Ming’s phone rang. He wiped his face, his scalp tingling as he received the chairman’s order, instructing people to block all land, water, and air routes in South City.
But he was informed that the Qi family had already sealed it off.
Shen Ji ran red lights all the way back to the Shen Old Home. He entered the door with a bellyful of monstrousrage,
and saw his son who had been missing for many days.
He was lying on the sofa, still unconscious.
Shen Ji almost instantly pieced together the cause and effect in his mind, and the car keys he held in his palm tightened.
The next second, they flew out with violent force, smashing into the crystal floor lamp by the wall.
The crisp sound didn’t startle the Shen Old Home’s servants. They all looked at their noses, focused on their hearts, and pretended to be deaf and mute.
The Old Lady was by the sofa, using a towel to wipe her grandson’s face: “A Ji, come and see, An An is so thin, I don’t know how much suffering he has endured.”
“If he hadn’t run out to find Jiao Bai that night, he wouldn’t have suffered this much.”
Hearing that name, the string of Shen Ji’s sanity trembled: “You used that kid to exchange for Jiao Bai?”
It was an assertive tone.
“I exchanged him.” The Old Lady admitted readily, she had prepared herself when making this decision, and could handle all of her youngest son’s reactions.
“He’s my person, did you ask me?” Shen Ji didn’t fly into a rage, he was quite calm.
“Not anymore.” The Old Lady pointed to the small book on the tea table, “Mom got you a divorce certificate.”
Shen Ji was stunned.
“You, Old Lady, handled the marriage, and you’re handling the divorce too.” He chuckled, supporting his forehead, “No wonder people say your son is a mama’s boy.”
The Old Lady’s face lengthened: “Who said that? Who has no manners…”
Seeing her youngest son lower his eyes, the cheeks on both sides twitching, she quickly returned to the main topic: “A Ji, that Jiao Bai isn’t your lucky star either, it was a mistake.”
“If he were a lucky star, he would only make your career and family better, not cause you to quarrel with me again and again, and have conflicts with Xiao Qi, whom you’ve known for decades. I saw it all that night at the wedding banquet.”
The Old Lady began to recite the prepared lines: “Although you reconciled later, there will always be cracks left after a fight, so it can’t happen often. The Qi family is too important to us, Xiao Qi is more than just an old friend to you, you and he must always be on good terms.”
“And An An, such a good child to begin with, besides drawing and origami, he just studied, but now he’s been harmed so badly by him.”
“A Ji, Mom recently locked up the Master and forced him to tell the truth.” The Old Lady cast her hook, but her youngest son was unmoved, as if he was in a daze, with no intention of asking. She had no choice but to give up.
The Old Lady took the initiative to talk about the interrogation.
The Master hated the Shen family for dragging him into this mess, and also implicating his wife and children, so he deliberately lied that Jiao Bai could make the Shen family flourish and allow the Shen family’s ruler to be safe and sound for life.
In fact, Jiao Bai’s fate had already changed, and it was very unfavorable to her youngest son’s luck. As long as he had anything to do with the Shen family, it would lead the Shen family down the path of decline.
The divorce had to happen, and it had to be quick.
“It was also a coincidence.” The Old Lady turned her prayer beads quickly, “Mom just got you a divorce certificate, and Qi Zi Zhi contacted Mom, both sending away the disaster star and allowing An An to come back, it’s a win-win situation.”
The Old Lady recited Amitabha at the end.
After listening to what the Old Lady said, Shen Ji said nothing, just smashed the large Buddha statue in the living room and strode out without looking back.
Exclamations rang out behind him.
Shen Ji turned his head to look, his breathing suddenly stopped.
The Old Lady fell from her wheelchair, a large piece of her head was cut open by a Buddha statue fragment, and blood flowed continuously.
The Shen family was in chaos on Little New Year’s Eve.
Shen Ji stood outside the operating room, he had just finished a phone call with Chen Yi Ming, but the person was still missing.
Footsteps came from the end of the corridor, heavier than usual.
Shen Ji was very tired at this time, and didn’t notice his old friend’s abnormality. He wasn’t in the mood to mention the jokes that had happened to him, just raised his head slightly.
Qi Yi Liao asked, “How serious is the Old Lady?”
Shen Ji’s hands were covered in his mother’s blood, causing him dizziness and redness in his eyes: “The situation isn’t good.”
Qi Yi Liao was silent for a moment, his lips, stained with the smell of tobacco, moved: “I see.”
“I’m going to find Xiao Bai.” Qi Yi Liao said.
Shen Ji shouted at his old friend’s back: “A Liao, help me bring him back.”
Qi Yi Liao didn’t respond.
