GBT Chapter 54
by VolareYu Xiang was in the kitchen making dark cuisine. Today was the Little New Year’s Eve, and his brother couldn’t come back from Dongcheng. It was okay; he still had Gua Gua.
Gua Gua had said he would come back from the Shen family old home early to be with him.
Yu Xiang scooped up a lump of paste from the pot, brought it close, and sniffed. The braised beef brisket was burnt; how could it still smell so fishy?
Fake.
It must be fake beef brisket!
“Unscrupulous merchant, may you be struck by lightning and die a terrible death!” After Yu Xiang finished his curse, he threw the paste into the trash can. He didn’t wash the pot but went to check the old duck soup in the small earthenware pot next to it.
When he lifted the lid, he was clumsy and scalded the inside of his wrist. The hot steam mixed with the scent of ginger rushed up and scalded his face.
The sound of knocking on the door came at this moment.
Yu Xiang’s eyes lit up. Gua Gua was back so soon?! He tossed the lid of the earthenware pot onto the counter and rushed to the door at lightning speed.
“Gua Gua!” Yu Xiang opened the door, but the surprise on his face disappeared the second he saw who it was. He wanted to close the door.
A hand pressed against the edge of the door, and at the same time, a leg stepped in.
Yu Xiang bared his teeth and waved his claws, “Zhang Zhen, what are you doing? This is my and Gua Gua’s home, don’t you dare…”
“Jiao Bai is in trouble.” Zhang Zhen was covered in wind and snow. His usually pure and beautiful features were dark and gloomy, even darker than the sky outside.
Yu Xiang’s yelling stopped abruptly: “What did you say?”
Zhang Zhen walked in and briefly revealed Jiao Bai’s situation.
“Ah—” Yu Xiang jumped in the hallway, screaming like crazy, “Ahhhh!!!!!”
The neighbor across the street heard the noise and ran out, but Zhang Zhen had already covered Yu Xiang’s mouth and quickly closed the door.
“Now, my Third Brother’s people and Shen Dong’s people are all looking for Jiao Bai.” Zhang Zhen shouted over Yu Xiang’s monster-like cries, “My Third Brother told me to come find you and see if you have any clues.”
Yu Xiang was still screaming.
Zhang Zhen’s fists hardened. He was about to slam a fist into the shoe cabinet when he saw that Yu Xiang’s pupils were dilated, as if he had lost his mind.
“Yu Xiang!” Zhang Zhen grabbed his shoulders and roared, “The Qi family has been ruined by Shen Dong, Qi Zi Zhi is at the end of his rope, and Jiao Bai has fallen into his hands. The situation is dire! We must hurry!”
The sharp screams stopped.
Zhang Zhen stared at Yu Xiang, “Tell me, why do you usually cling to him, but this time when he went to the old home, you didn’t go? Was it because the people sent by the Shen family wouldn’t let you, or what?”
Yu Xiang’s throat was hoarse, and the taste of blood rushed into his mouth. He stood there blankly for a while, and for some reason, suddenly began to sob: “Wuu…”
“Wuu wuu wuu…” He pouted and made train sounds, “It’s Gua Gua… Gua Gua wouldn’t let me go…”
Zhang Zhen hadn’t figured it out yet, but Yu Xiang stopped wailing.
“I had already coaxed Gua Gua, and he agreed to take me. If the Shen family’s people didn’t allow it, he would still take me, or he wouldn’t go. That’s what he said,” Yu Xiang said, picking at his fingers, his voice low and trembling, “But after we left the building, Gua Gua suddenly told me to go upstairs.”
“It was really sudden, without any warning. Before we left the building, he was still telling me that when we came back, we could go to the night market and he would buy a new desk lamp to work hard for the college entrance exam,” Yu Xiang’s teeth chattered non-stop, “I don’t know why he suddenly changed his mind and didn’t want me to go with him. I refused, so he patted my head and said he would be back soon.”
“As soon as he does the head-pat thing, I listen to him, and then, then I went back to the rented house. I made food, and Gua Gua told me to buy the ingredients. I learned from the internet…”
Zhang Zhen interrupted Yu Xiang: “Where was the Shen family’s car parked when you left? Did anyone get out?”
“On the side of the road, three or five meters away from us,” Yu Xiang said, “A housekeeper from the Shen family came down, but before he could say anything, Gua Gua told me not to go.”
“Why didn’t he want me to go!” Yu Xiang shouted, muttering to himself nervously, “It’s my fault, it’s all my fault…”
Zhang Zhen grabbed Yu Xiang with one hand and held the phone to his ear with the other, saying to his Third Brother, who had heard everything: “I feel like something’s wrong here, Third Brother.”
“Did Jiao Bai know there was something wrong with the car that came to pick him up as soon as he left the building?” Zhang Zhen’s heart pounded like thunder.
But if that’s the case…
Then why would he knowingly get into danger?
Not only did he get in, but he also made an excuse to drive away his little follower?
Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t he desperately run away and call for help, or if he couldn’t escape, pull Yu Xiang to help and fight to the death?
“Ask Yu Xiang if Xiao Bai has anything on him that can be used for tracking.” Qi Yi Liao’s voice came from the phone, mixed with the howling wind, sounding blurry and cold.
Zhang Zhen turned to look at Yu Xiang, “Did you hear what my Third Brother said?”
“Gua Gua didn’t want me to be in danger either… He sensed it… so he went himself… Why…” Yu Xiang was still muttering, “I could have protected him!”
Zhang Zhen’s head was about to explode: “Yu Xiang!”
Yu Xiang crooked his face gloomily, “What are you shouting for?”
Zhang Zhen: “…”
He took a deep breath, telling himself not to get unnecessarily angry at this time. So Zhang Zhen relayed his Third Brother’s words to Yu Xiang.
“Tracking…” Yu Xiang suddenly changed. The collapse and anxiety in his eyes were completely replaced by a flame of hope.
Zhang Zhen saw this and the string in his mind loosened a little. There was hope.
However, Yu Xiang made a phone call, and that flame was gone. He walked back and forth, “No one’s answering…”
“Answer it! Answer the phone! Hurry!!!” Yu Xiang’s vocal cords were overused, and his voice sounded extremely unpleasant.
Zhang Zhen felt that Yu Xiang really had some mental problems. It was extraordinary for Jiao Bai to be able to live with him.
“Calm down.” Zhang Zhen patted Yu Xiang, “Jiao Bai is carrying something for tracking, and it has something to do with your brother?”
Yu Xiang ignored Zhang Zhen. He was still screaming at the unanswered phone.
Zhang Zhen couldn’t bear it anymore, but instead of punching him in the face, he punched the wall: “Yu Xiang! What the hell are you doing? Don’t you know that time is life? If you delay for another second, Jiao Bai will…”
Yu Xiang’s small body trembled, completely different from the madness of the previous moment. Like a frightened child, afraid of being beaten by his parents, he cowered and said: “It’s the ‘Tianxing’ A accessory, Gua Gua was wearing it.”
Zhang Zhen was shocked. He knew “Tianxing,” the military’s ace detector, one-on-one. The main unit is for the guardian, and the accessory is for the wearer.
Whoever wears it, all aspects of their body’s functions will be monitored on time, including eavesdropping, positioning tracking, and information transmission, and the range of use can cover the globe.
“Tianxing” A was the most complete version, right? Jiao Bai had that thing on him?
“The main unit is with my brother.” Yu Xiang squatted on the ground weakly, holding his head in his hands, burying his pale face, “I need to ask my brother. But something happened to my brother, and the phone he always carries is not with him…”
Zhang Zhen quickly asked, “Where is your brother? Does he have any friends around him?”
Before the words fell, Yu Xiang fainted. His emotions fluctuated too much, causing his heart to stop.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhen cursed, knelt down, put his phone aside, took a breath, quickly folded his hands together, and performed CPR on Yu Xiang: “Third Brother, Yu Xiang’s side…”
All that answered him was a “beep” sound.
The phone had been hung up by Third Brother long ago.
Zhang Zhen rubbed his dry, cool face, dialed 120, and continued to press on Yu Xiang’s chest.
Did Third Brother already know that Jiao Bai had the “Tianxing” A accessory, but he wasn’t sure who had the main unit, so he asked him to test Yu Xiang, who always followed Jiao Bai, to ask if he knew about the tracking device?
The car sped down the road, all the windows open, the wind wrapped in snowflakes constantly raging in from the windows, howling like ghosts and wolves.
In the back seat, Qi Yi Liao had someone investigate Yu Xiang, and the information quickly arrived in his hands. He dialed a number.
Before Cen Jingmo could say “Uncle Qi,” he heard Qi Yi Liao say: “Jingmo, give the phone to Yu Ling.”
Cen Jingmo was injured, and the doctor was bandaging him. He waved everyone out: “Uncle Qi, you must be mistaken, there’s no one named Yu around me…”
Before he could finish speaking, Cen Jingmo’s action of reaching for his cigarette case paused.
Because,
The person on the other end of the phone suddenly laughed.
Cen Jingmo grabbed the gun next to him under that sense of crisis. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he hadn’t had time to put on gloves and had grabbed it directly.
“Shit.”
That sound escaped from Cen Jingmo’s bloody lips.
The phone had been hung up long ago.
Cen Jingmo knew that Qi Yi Liao was giving him time, hoping that Yu Ling would take the initiative to call.
The problem was that Yu Ling’s wound had repeatedly ruptured, and the infection was serious. His rotten flesh had just been cleaned away, and he was now in a semi-comatose state.
Cen Jingmo went to the next room but found that Yu Ling was awake.
“Qi Yi Liao is looking for you.” Cen Jingmo stood at the door and said, “I’ll dial back, will you answer?”
Yu Ling didn’t ask what it was about. He just waited for the phone to be dialed and then went to answer it.
Cen Jingmo was still speculating about Qi Yi Liao’s motive when he saw Yu Ling’s face change drastically.
He knew that this person could withstand bullets and carry him through a hail of bullets without changing his expression, calm and collected.
Before Cen Jingmo’s curiosity could be revealed, Yu Ling staggered over, pushing him away with one hand covering his wound and locking the door with the other.
The force was not small, and the slender Cen Jingmo was almost pushed over.
His subordinates couldn’t stand it and wanted to kick the door down.
“Back down.” Cen Jingmo arranged the coat draped over his shoulders, coughed a few times, and a trace of deep thought flowed under his long, upturned eyes.
On Little New Year’s Eve in 2023, at 3:12 PM, the “Tianxing” A main unit logged in in Dongcheng.
Because it was very difficult to manufacture, and there might only be one finished product among thousands of A-series pieces, the other series caused fluctuations.
Considering the complete safety of the system, the military also checked the login point.
They found that the main unit was searching for accessories.
And the accessories…
“Found it!”
The operator exclaimed, but in the next second,
It was gone?!
The signal showed that it was in the sea area to the southeast, and then it was cut off. The operator and the leader standing behind him were caught off guard.
“How did it disappear?” the leader asked, “Did the accessory fall into the sea, or was it damaged?”
“This version has the strongest waterproof performance. As for the accessory itself, unless it is completely crushed into powder, there will be a signal.” The operator explained, “The signal is gone, there is only one possibility.”
“It was shielded.” He said.
The leader said sternly, “Under what circumstances would it be shielded?”
“The ship may have fallen into a whirlpool, or encountered a tsunami, and it cannot be ruled out that there are anomalies in the surrounding electromagnetic field,” the operator pointed to the screen, “This is the data detected at the moment when the signal was connected. The accessory wearer’s heartbeat is too fast, and the body temperature is high. This is a series of physical reactions caused by physiological and psychological shock.”
“Is the life characteristic strong or weak?”
“Medium.” The operator answered every question. He didn’t know what kind of person the main unit that alarmed the leader was, only that the deep sea was mysterious and dangerous. If it was swept into an unknown sea area, then I’m afraid… there would be no return.
On the other side, next to the road with white snow flying, Qi Yi Liao cut off the video with Yu Ling. He bit the cigarette in his lips and took a puff.
He didn’t get anything.
He then realized that the cigarette was not lit at all.
Qi Yi Liao’s expression was a little strange, as if he felt novel about his mistake, but it was more like he had already sensed some kind of clue and expected this phenomenon.
“Go prepare, set sail before dark.” Qi Yi Liao rubbed his eyebrows.
The surrounding atmosphere changed.
A group of strong men looked at Zhang Zhen in unison. Brother Zhen! Don’t be dazed! Stop Master Qi!
Zhang Zhen had sent Yu Xiang to the hospital and rushed over. One accident after another made his brain overload. He was holding an umbrella for Third Brother, and his empty hand pressed his dry eyes, “Third Brother, let me and the brothers go. We’ll bring Jiao Bai back.”
Qi Yi Liao took out the headset from the pocket of his dark gray velvet long coat and pressed it into his ear.
Zhang Zhen stopped the brothers who were about to urge him with a look.
Urge what? Didn’t Third Brother clearly hesitate? They were all big and thick, more active than anyone when eating, and not as good as me at figuring out the master’s thoughts.
Before long, Qi Yi Liao took off the headset and rubbed the snow off the machine case, “A Zhen, you pick a team to go with me, bring enough water and food, and common medicines.” Finally, he added, “Forget it, just bring my private medical team.”
“Third Brother, you really can’t go.” The umbrella in Zhang Zhen’s hand shook, and snow fell in all directions. His head was covered in white, and his face was solemn, “If something happens to you, the Qi family will…”
Qi Yi Liao took a big step out from under the umbrella and walked towards the direction where the car was parked.
“I promise!” Zhang Zhen’s roar was mixed with snowflakes, firm and stern, “Jiao Bai will come back, I will come back, I’ll stake my life on it!” After shouting, he was stunned himself. That kind of tension and solemnity was not entirely for the safety of Third Brother.
Qi Yi Liao opened the car door and sat in. He entered the driver’s seat.
The wheels rubbed deep and clear marks in the snow, like a sharp sword disappearing on the street corner.
Zhang Zhen sucked in several mouthfuls of cold snow. He closed his half-open lips and pursed them tightly. Third Brother was always restrained and had never been so… close to doing whatever he wanted.
Since Third Brother had made a decision, he could only send more people to accompany him to ensure Third Brother’s safety on the way back and forth.
Zhang Zhen looked at the brothers who were stunned: “Prepare to go, hurry up.”
Everyone dispersed in a rush.
Zhang Zhen put away the umbrella and carried it. He walked in the snow and sorted out the context of the whole matter.
Third Brother’s nephew originally wanted to die for love. After learning about Jiao Bai’s whereabouts, he ran to Nancheng and cooperated with the Qi family brothers.
Today’s self-exposure was to lure away Third Brother, who was originally going to pick up Jiao Bai, so that the Shen family’s car could take Jiao Bai away.
And in the car were the Qi family brothers who had reached an agreement with the Shen Old Madam.
The cars of large families all have specific logos, and the Shen family is no exception. It was precisely because it was the Shen family’s car that the two of them were able to travel smoothly and leave Nancheng before it was sealed off.
When Third Brother’s nephew swallowed the gun and committed suicide, he was probably sure through some kind of secret link that the person had already gone to sea and was out of the pursuit circle. He had no regrets and went to find his little master underground.
A layer of thin snow fell on Zhang Zhen’s knotted brows. He was worried and anxious.
Jiao Bai, hang in there.
Going to Sea
A cargo ship drifted alone on the sea. The cargo boxes in the cabin were all tilted and crooked, and the crew members were slumped on the messy, damp deck, their rough, black faces showing the shock of surviving a disaster.
This ship was originally going to Xiao Ming Island, but during the voyage, it passed through a sea area, and the compass suddenly failed.
Now the ship has deviated from its course and does not know where it has drifted.
Some crew members shouted and cursed, and this emotion infected others, who also complained and vented.
They had been delivering goods to Xiao Ming Island for many years and had never had an accident. This time, they actually ran into the most unlucky thing in the voyage!
Fear and the unknown made it difficult for them to calm down.
“I said the weather was bad and we couldn’t go to sea! Couldn’t go to sea! You didn’t listen! Now it’s good, I told you to hurry up and go to hell!”
“Can you not say such unlucky things? You can go to hell, but don’t bring us along!”
“Everyone go back to the cabin to change your wet clothes. We’ll eat something later, and let’s all think of a way together.”
“This is the deep sea, not land. Our ship is out of contact. Do you understand what it means to be out of contact? This means that tonight we will become one of the eerie missing events! After a while, it will even be reported in the news, in black and white photos, neatly arranged!”
“…”
An old man did not participate in the quarrel. He pinched the wet cigarette case, his expression a little abnormal. His colleagues did not know that this trip was different from usual. This trip carried not only cargo but also three living people.
Right in the cargo hold.
The old man’s daughter-in-law had a second child, and the family was getting bigger. The house was not big enough, so they had to sell the old one and buy a new one, but they were still short a big amount of money. That’s why he took this deal, using a meal and drinks to trick everyone into setting sail in the afternoon.
Now that he had encountered such a disaster,
The old man couldn’t help but wonder if one of the three people had brought bad luck?
He couldn’t help but find an excuse to enter the cabin, sneak into the cargo hold, and shine a flashlight. Among the three people, a student-looking boy was carried aboard unconscious. He was still not awake. One was a cripple wearing a mask, who was the boss who gave him the money. The remaining one had his face covered with bangs, so he couldn’t see his appearance clearly. He had been throwing up, throwing up for a long time, almost throwing up all of himself.
None of the three looked like a jinx.
The cripple moved: “Can we still return to the original route?”
The old man spat: “It’s up to fate!”
He glanced at the mask on the cripple’s face, thinking, was it some kind of infectious disease?
There was this kind of plot in the movies, viruses or something. The old man knocked on his head, don’t think about it, take one step at a time. If he really died at sea, it would be a death in his place. Fortunately, he had transferred the money to his son’s card before leaving.
The cargo hold door was pulled shut again, and the light disappeared with it.
The surroundings returned to darkness.
The cripple, who was Qi Zi Zhi, pulled the mask up and listened to the constant sound of vomiting beside him. He didn’t react.
The one who was throwing up non-stop was none other than Jiao Bai. His stomach ached terribly, all the way up.
A few hours ago, he had just walked out of the building with Yu Xiang, who was holding his hand and shaking it, when he heard a friend’s reminder.
A friend came online.
The avatar that lit up was Qi Zi Zhi. He was originally ranked third, but after Shen Ji joined the group, he rose to second place.
The avatar had also changed.
From a blank page to a round, brown-haired… harp seal.
Super soft and cute as hell.
That wasn’t important.
What was important was that it was the Shen family’s car, but Qi Zi Zhi was inside.
The dog blood was very interesting. In order to minimize the possibility of casualties, Jiao Bai chose to play along.
But…
Kidnapping was kidnapping, and imprisonment was fine, but why was it at sea?
I get seasick!
“Bleugh—”
Jiao Bai emptied his stomach, vomiting mucus, which flowed down his chin. He wiped away the drawn-out silk threads, looking terrible.
Jiao Bai floundered a few times on the ground, kicking a butt.
It was Li Jue’s.
When Jiao Bai woke up and saw the other party, he knew that he was going to be skinned alive on this trip.
The protagonist shou was actually involved, so just wait to die, wait to be sent to the Western Paradise by his protagonist’s halo.
Jiao Bai groped and leaned against the bulkhead to catch his breath. Why was Li Jue also on the ship? Was Qi Zi Zhi purely chosen by the main storyline, thus unfolding this shitty new plot?
Aside from this, Jiao Bai couldn’t think of a second possibility.
Jiao Bai kicked Li Jue again, but the other party still didn’t react.
The protagonist shou hadn’t woken up yet, indicating that it wasn’t his time to wake up. It was estimated that the blood concentration wasn’t enough.
Before Jiao Bai could pull his foot back, it was pulled open by a force, causing his mind to go blank. When he recovered, his foot subconsciously rubbed around, but he didn’t touch a butt.
Li Jue was no longer lying there.
But he didn’t hear the sound of a heavy object being dragged.
This meant that,
Qi Zi Zhi had picked up Li Jue!
Jiao Bai bent his legs and rubbed the area that had been pulled, this direction almost made him sure that Qi Zi Zhi had become one of Li Jue’s male supporting characters under the butterfly effect.
There was no light in the field of vision, Jiao Bai couldn’t see Qi Zi Zhi’s actions and expressions, he only saw the seal smiling in the other party’s avatar.
The little angel lowered his eyes, his smile very sad.
Jiao Bai didn’t know why he felt a stuffiness in his chest and wanted to cry. Then he really shed tears.
Too strange, Jiao Bai blinked in a daze, am I so fragile now? It shouldn’t be, I didn’t feel this way after all kinds of torture in the past few months, and now I don’t have any other discomforts besides seasickness.
Really strange. Jiao Bai looked at the seal again, and couldn’t help but think, it was normal for Qi Zi Zhi to be sad, his younger brother was dead, his family’s company had collapsed, his great future was gone, his life was completely ruined.
Logically speaking, Qi Zi Zhi shouldn’t only be sad, nor should he show it at this time. What was he doing?
Jiao Bai tilted his head, trying to find Qi Zi Zhi’s position by following the sound of breathing, but the ship started a new round of violent jolting at this time, and the sound of the waves was too loud.
Qi Zi Zhi tightened his grip on Li Jue’s arm. His gaze at Li Jue in the darkness did not have a trace of ambiguity, but was full of doubt, expectation, and gratitude.
During his escape, Qi Zi Zhi only brought one photo album.
And precisely because he had lost his career, was idle, and didn’t know what to do, he had time to flip through those old photos one by one.
This flip allowed him to see a family portrait sandwiched behind a photo, which was different from the one hanging on the wall at home, as it had an additional baby.
Qi Zi Zhi asked his second younger brother, but the second younger brother said he had no impression. Qi Zi Zhi then went to the mental hospital to ask his mother. He disguised himself and lurked in the mental hospital for a few days and finally caught her when she was relatively sober.
His mother talked about a past event, saying that she was pregnant with twins when she was pregnant with Xiao Shuang, two children who came safely into this world.
However, both children were taken away two years after birth.
That year Qi Zi Zhi was also a child.
The Qi family spent a lot of manpower and resources and finally found clues in the third year after the children disappeared, locking onto the Changning Orphanage.
It was a pity that
Only one of the two children was still there. Qi’s mother knew at the first sight that he was her child, for mother and child were of one heart. After the child was found, the whole family did their best to make up for the years they had missed. The whereabouts of the other child are still unknown.
Qi Zi Zhi finally found something besides revenge, which made him feel that he was still a normal person. He began to search for his other brother.
And targeted Li Jue.
Li Jue had also stayed at that orphanage. The age was the same as Xiao Shuang’s.
Major hospitals were monitored by the people of the Shen family, and it was inconvenient to do paternity tests. The second brother first went to Li Jue’s hometown to confirm, but he did not meet him at the agreed time, and he could not stay in Nancheng any longer, so he had to go to sea first.
This was the second plan they discussed.
If the situation changed, he would leave first and wait for the second brother to find a suitable opportunity to meet him on Xiao Ming Island.
Qi Zi Zhi stroked the hair of the person in his arms, he had 90% certainty that the relative he was looking for was Li Jue.
The initial investment in him was because of blood ties.
At first, Qi Zi Zhi didn’t want to acknowledge Li Jue. The Qi family was no longer what it used to be, and not only could they not help him, but they would also harm him.
Therefore, Qi Zi Zhi wanted him to study, work, and start a family in Nancheng.
Who knew that this afternoon, when the Shen family’s car drove to the first intersection of the community, Li Jue blocked the car in front of it on a bicycle. He didn’t know how he caught up.
That’s how this scene came to be.
Qi Zi Zhi hugged his brother tighter. Since it was God’s will, then you should be with Big Brother.
If Big Brother lives, I will let you live. If Big Brother dies, he will also try to win the hope of living for you before his last breath.
“Boom—”
Some of the cargo in the distance collapsed, and the chaotic sounds were mixed with screams of pain.
Qi Zi Zhi hugged his brother, and the face under the mask didn’t have the slightest change.
Shen Er An was captured by the second brother. When he was captured, he had just had a car accident and was covered in blood.
A young master with no power, no family background, no training as an heir, still in high school, running around in the street at night, and not looking at the road properly, that’s why he was hit by a car.
At that time, Jiao Bai’s whereabouts were unknown.
Qi Zi Zhi and the second brother locked Shen Er An in a private clinic, leaving him with a breath.
Until Jiao Bai returned to Nancheng, the second brother couldn’t wait any longer. He proposed to negotiate with the Shen family to exchange Shen Er An for Jiao Bai.
Qi Zi Zhi did not agree. The second brother had been living abroad and did not understand the situation of the Shen family. He knew it clearly.
The Shen clan was headed by Shen Ji.
Not the Shen family. The old lady had absolute authority. In her heart, the youngest son of the family was more important than the grandson who was still in school.
And Jiao Bai was a plaything raised by her youngest son, and also the marriage partner she had set for him, the only one, which was related to his fate.
Qi Zi Zhi told the second brother to wait, and wait a little longer.
Waiting for a chance that might not come.
Fortunately, the younger brother was blessed, and this almost impossible opportunity was actually waited for by them.
The old lady didn’t hesitate and agreed to their conditions, eagerly sending away the disaster star who would implicate the Shen family.
Now that disaster star was still screaming, and the sound of his breath was messy and weak.
Qi Zi Zhi opened his mouth indifferently, his voice rough: “Does it hurt?”
Jiao Bai couldn’t get up from being crushed by the cargo, but he was still struggling hard, without giving up.
Although every struggle increased the pain on his body. The bones shouldn’t be injured, it was just flesh pain.
“I hurt a thousand times more than you.” Qi Zi Zhi gently put the brother in his arms next to him, so that he had something to lean against. After making sure that the surrounding cargo would not fall easily, Qi Zi Zhi dragged his crippled leg and walked over step by step.
“At that time in the Fuyuan Building, when you and Xiao Shuang said those words, I thought you were very good. You were not old, but you could see through it so thoroughly.” Qi Zi Zhi looked down at the stink bug on the ground, “Do you still remember what you said?”
Jiao Bai’s struggling stopped.
“You said you envied Xiao Shuang for having an older brother, and when you talked about family affection, there was light in your eyes and tears on your face, and you cried so much that it made people feel sorry for you. I thought you were a sensible child, and I also felt that when you grew a few years older, maybe we would have something to talk about and have an affinity for each other. I even wanted to open a small back door for you when you graduated and looked for a job. But what about you? What did you do later?”
Qi Zi Zhi bent down, “You harmed others and made them lose their homes and relatives. How could you be such a bad child?”
The cargo box on Jiao Bai’s body was moved away, and a beam of light was cast over from Qi Zi Zhi’s hand, shining on his eyes.
It was a cell phone.
No card, just used as a flashlight. It played a big role at this time.
Qi Zi Zhi pressed Jiao Bai between the chaotic cargo boxes. He lowered his head and slowly pulled down his mask.
Jiao Bai saw his appearance and took a breath.
“Scared?” Qi Zi Zhi’s neat short hair had grown a lot, and most of his hair was white and dry. Below his sword eyebrows were a pair of eyes full of hatred, and below that was an ugly burn scar, which covered his left face.
No more former fortitude and handsomeness.
“I understand, I would be frightened too.” Qi Zi Zhi approached Jiao Bai, his face gradually distorted, “Shen Ji was invincible for half his life, and he was being manipulated and calculated. I can understand if he wanted to vent his anger. You were the mastermind, he treated you with kindness, I expected it. But my little brother is already gone, and he still won’t let my family go, taking lives after finishing the project.”
“Shen Ji brought down your company, but you didn’t directly deal with him, but you calculated it on my head in a roundabout way? You are the same.” Jiao Bai’s ear was a little itchy. He felt a few strands of hair sweep over and pulled them.
Qi Zi Zhi didn’t pull his hair out of Jiao Bai’s hands but just murmured in his ear: “The same?”
“If I were the same as that executioner, your adoptive parents’ family would be dead by now.” Qi Zi Zhi coughed heavily, as if a piece of sandpaper was rubbing back and forth in his throat, causing bleeding.
The ship was constantly shaking, and Jiao Bai wanted to throw up again. He endured it: “Then what about the Liang family? Liang Dong’s older sister kidnapped your younger brother, causing his accident, but she had a sudden cardiac arrest on the way to the police station. You still didn’t let his family go, you want to kill his brothers and parents, don’t you?!”
The sound of breathing in his ear stopped.
Jiao Bai looked at the seal, and it began to cry, with blood and tears streaming down.
Could it be that it wasn’t Qi Zi Zhi who did it, but his second younger brother, Qi Lin?
“Tell me, what did you get on my younger brother?” Qi Zi Zhi had a small knife in his other hand, pressed against Jiao Bai’s neck.
The icy touch of the blade made Jiao Bai’s skin crawl, grass, if his neck was cut and his blood was released, he would definitely die faster than a chicken.
It shouldn’t be.
Qi Zi Zhi bound them on this sea voyage, wanting to take him somewhere to slowly torture him.
As Jiao Bai thought this, his neck hurt, his skin was cut open, and he sucked in air, “Qi Shuang doesn’t like Shen Ji.”
The hatred in Qi Zi Zhi’s eyes froze.
“Are you going to ask me why he is so determined to marry into the Shen family?” Jiao Bai put his hand into his collar, wiped the blood dripping onto his collarbone, “Because,”
Jiao Bai tugged his lips, “The one he really likes is…”
“Shen, Er, An.” Jiao Bai said word by word, the knife against his neck shook, revealing how shocked the person holding the knife was.
Jiao Bai continued to say, “He wants to be Shen Er An’s spy, he wants to help him seize power.”
Qi Zi Zhi felt it was a joke, but he couldn’t refute it and only murmured, “They have no intersection.”
