Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 32
byChapter 32
Moreover… a fragile place like the neck can easily be fatal once injured, and sometimes it is too late to save it. Why does it need to be replaced with a prosthetic limb?
Unless someone already knew that Qi Feiluan’s neck would be injured and prepared everything needed for the surgery in advance…
Father Qi already had a guess in his mind, but he couldn’t believe it.
Qi’s father had been supported by the Ji family since he was a child. He thought that he had given his life to the Ji family, but he never thought that his son would be like him.
Qi Feiluan has been Ji Xingyuan’s companion since childhood, partly because it was Ji Tailin’s order, and partly because Qi Feiluan could get a better education by following Ji Xingyuan.
But… what if Ji Xingyuan is using his identity to abuse Qi Feiluan?
Father Qi didn’t think about these things before, because Qi Feiluan was cheerful and positive before, and he was completely different from now.
Qi’s father couldn’t help but think back on the past twenty years. Many things were like icebergs. If Ji Xingyuan was really responsible for Qi Feiluan’s neck, would there be more abuses that they haven’t discovered yet except for this surfaced corner?
He and Qi’s mother were a pair of failed parents. They were too reassured that Qi Feiluan would stay by Ji Xingyuan’s side, and they indeed cared too little about their son.
Qi’s father’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down, and he said with difficulty: “You can’t just replace the prosthetic limb after you are discharged from the hospital. There should be a recovery period. Go home and live. I’ll talk to Mr. Ji.”
Qi’s mother stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears and said firmly: “We don’t know that you have been injured. You must come home this time and we will take care of you.”
Qi Feiluan also felt a headache. He felt that his parents might have thought too much, and he just lost his left calf, not that he could not take care of himself.
But seeing how determined his parents were, Qi Feiluan hesitated again.
Ji Xingyuan came to him before and told him that he wanted to “change” and “start over”, but the most practical question before Qi Feiluan was whether he could continue to live in Ji’s Manor.
If Ji Xingyuan asked him to move away, it would probably take some effort for him to find a new house and make it livable now that he has lost half his leg.
Since his parents were so insistent, Qi Feiluan said: “The doctor said that I will be hospitalized for two weeks for observation, and I will go home after two weeks.”
Father Qi and his mother breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a positive reply. Father Qi said, “I will contact Mr. Ji and I will pick you up when you are discharged from the hospital.”
The days of recuperation in the hospital passed quickly. After staying in the hospital for two weeks, Qi Feiluan was ready to be discharged.
When Ji Xingyuan learned that Qi Feiluan would move back to the Qi family, he restrained himself as he said and did not stop it.But on the day he was discharged from the hospital, Ji Xingyuan still took the time to pick up Qi Feiluan from the hospital.
Perhaps because of Qi Feiluan’s good health, there was no rejection of the reserved port implanted in his left leg, and the wound healed very well, but now there is still no way to connect the prosthesis to the port.
He originally wanted to walk out of the hospital on crutches, but Qi’s father insisted that he leave in a wheelchair.
Qi Feiluan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, changed into regular clothes for daily use. A black turtleneck bottoming shirt covered the prosthetic leg on his neck. His right leg was bent up and placed on the footrest. The standard trousers with excellent drape outlined the smooth and graceful lines of his legs. Correspondingly, there was an empty trouser leg under the knee of his left leg.
When Qi’s father saw Ji Xingyuan coming to pick up Qi Feiluan from the hospital, he said politely and coldly: “Mr. Ji.”
Ji Xingyuan nodded to Qi’s father and then walked behind Qi Feiluan’s wheelchair.
Although the wheelchair Qi Feiluan was riding was electric and the hospital’s barrier-free facilities were excellent, he still insisted on pushing Qi Feiluan out of the hospital.
Father Qi, who was following the two men, had an astonishingly low air pressure around his body.
Ji Xingyuan pushed Qi Feiluan all the way to the car parked in the underground garage. Qi’s father finally couldn’t bear it anymore and said, “Mr. Ji, I’m here to take Fei Luan home.”
“I know.” Ji Xingyuan replied.
Then he opened the car door, picked up Qi Feiluan from the waist, and put him into the car. The assistant who followed him folded the wheelchair and put it into the trunk.
Qi Feiluan felt something strange. He was not fragile glass.
He has been using crutches for the past two weeks in the hospital and has completely adapted to life without his left calf. He originally wanted to use crutches to walk out on his own after being discharged this time.
Besides, he can also move from the wheelchair to the back seat of the car.
Father Qi and Ji Xingyuan treated him as if he was fragile and would disappear in an instant.
Qi Feiluan didn’t like the way Ji Xingyuan and Qi’s father treated him. He was a well-trained security guard. He just had some temporary difficulty in moving because his left leg had not recovered enough to be connected to the prosthetic limb. This did not mean that he had become a fragile object that needed to be protected.
After Ji Xingyuan put Qi Feiluan in the back seat of the car, he turned to Qi’s father and said, “Uncle, I will come to visit Aluan often.”
Although Ji Xingyuan’s attitude was not arrogant and he called Qi’s father uncle, Qi’s father still felt that he was tough and unquestionable.
Qi’s father looked at him deeply, then without saying a word, he got into the car and closed the door, turned on the automatic driving system, and drove towards Qi’s house.
Ji Xingyuan watched the vehicle leave. He stood motionless for a long time, so long that the assistant following him became restless.
The assistant knew that today was the 20th, and his boss’s susceptible period was about to come. As an Alpha, standing next to him was like standing naked in an ice cave, feeling cold from head to toe, and from the inside out.
The overflowing pheromones from Ji Xingyuan’s body aggravated his own sense of oppression. It was torturous for his assistant to stand next to him. He was trying his best to control his urge to run away.
The assistant sometimes felt that Ji Xingyuan was like a volcano covered with white snow. It looked cold and cold, but in fact, everything under the surface was surging magma.
Fortunately, the boss, who seemed to be on the verge of losing control, didn’t really go crazy. He was still as calm and strong as usual, and said to him: “Let’s go.”
After he spoke, the assistant let out a long breath and felt relieved.
…
Qi Feiluan’s life has not changed much since he returned to live with Qi’s family. Qi’s father and mother are busy with work, and they are rarely seen during working days.
Qi Feiluan was supposed to order takeout by himself, but before meal time, servants from Ji’s Manor would come to deliver the meal, so he accepted the “takeout” specially made for him.
After going home to rest for another week and returning to the hospital for a review, the doctor told him that his left leg was recovering well, so Qi Feiluan reappeared in Jijia Building for the first time at the end of March.
Since he could not yet install a prosthetic limb, he had to move around with a single cane. The single cane made of new materials was painted pure black with simple and smooth lines, and it closely fit his left arm.
As Qi Feiluan walked, his single cane touched the tiles on the floor of the building, creating a strange rhythm.
When the red-eyed teammates saw him walking into the room, they all stood up and stood at attention.
Qi Feiluan walked to the top position as usual and sat down, saying: “Sit down.”
Almost a month had passed since the assassination of Ji Xingyuan until now, and Qi Feiluan appeared in front of the captains of Hongtong again. Regarding the fact that he had lost half of his left leg, the captains had some fluctuations in their hearts.
However, they didn’t show it on their faces, but there was one person sitting there who showed it directly on his face, and that was Zhao Shixuan.
That’s right, Zhao Shixuan, the former captain of the Red Eyes Second Team, was shot five times in the limbs and shoulders by Qi Feiluan on the first day he took office, and was forced to recuperate for more than three months.
He is now recovering and back, but it is useless to come back. He has basically been sidelined by Xu Ruifeng, who was arranged by Qi Feiluan.
So now when he saw Qi Feiluan losing half of his leg, he was so happy that he exploded with joy.
Damn, deserve it!
He was hospitalized with a broken bone and is now fully recovered. Qi Feiluan lost half of his leg. He probably couldn’t reattach it even if he tried, so he will have to install a prosthetic leg in the future.
Although Zhao Shixuan also knew that Qi Feiluan’s mobility and life would not be affected in any way after installing the prosthetic limbs, he knew the unspoken rules of the so-called upper class. They were all proud of the integrity and softness of their limbs and believed that only those who work hard would replace prosthetic limbs.
Although Zhao Shixuan doesn’t think much of the potential prejudice of the older generation, it does not prevent him from feeling happy based on this prejudice.
Zhao Shixuan finally couldn’t hold it back and said angrily: “Hey, our person in charge is really unlucky, he lost half of his leg.”
Qi Feiluan raised her eyelids and glanced at him, then suddenly raised her right hand without a crutch.
Zhao Shixuan suddenly stood up and rolled back when he was ready to launch. When he stood up and stood still, he realized that Qi Feiluan had really just raised his hand, and he didn’t have a gun in his hand at all.
Zhao Shixuan’s expression suddenly dropped. There were other captains in the room looking at him. His reaction was as if he was a soft-footed shrimp who was frightened by Qi Feiluan.
Qi Feiluan put down his hand and threw one word to Zhao Shixuan: “Sit.”
At this moment, Qi Feiluan dared to attack Zhao Shixuan directly before, firstly because he had just taken over and wanted to establish his authority, and Zhao Shixuan hit him on the gun; secondly, he needed to place his subordinates in Hongtong’s second team so that he could have actual control over Hongtong.
Now Zhao Shixuan has been ignored by Xu Ruifeng, and because of Ji Taizhen’s “disappearance”, there are undercurrents inside and outside the Ji family group. Ji Xingyuan is under greater pressure. It is not appropriate to anger Zhao Shixuan’s father at this time.
Zhao Shixuan lost someone again, but he couldn’t really get angry, so he could only sit back in his seat depressedly.
Let him be embarrassed, right? Qi Feiluan will wait for him. Anyway, he will definitely attend some dinner parties with Ji Xingyuan in the future. If he has the opportunity, he must let Qi Feiluan embarrass him in front of everyone in the family.
…
Qi Feiluan, who has returned to work, is different from before. He can get off work on time and has weekends off. He will use the weekends to go back to the hospital for review every time.
Soon after a month, the doctor told him that the prosthetic leg customized for him had been delivered and he could attach it.
Qi Feiluan couldn’t wait to cooperate with the doctor and professional prosthetic installers to install the prosthetic leg on his left leg.
Finally able to get rid of the one-handed crutch and resume normal walking, Qi Feiluan also felt rare happiness.
———————–
The author has something to say: It’s even late. I have been struggling with whether a patient with a left leg amputation should use a one-handed crutch on the left or the right. After watching many videos, it is basically on the affected area, that is, on the left, so the article is set on the left.
Next, an unexpected character will return, and there are still some unresolved past issues between Ji Xingyuan and Qi Feiluan.
