1666 Arriving at the Scene
If Qi Hao could see it clearly, how could Chi Shuyan not? She did want the father and son to make peace, but they were at an impasse, so she couldn’t say much.
Moreover, Father Qi had defended Fourth Uncle Qi in the beginning and blamed her man, so Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but feel indignant on her man’s behalf. However, Chi Shuyan was well aware that Father Qi treated her well as his daughter-in-law. He was very good to her, at least much better than he was to Qi Zhenbai.
She didn’t know if it was because Father Qi also felt guilty toward his son, and so was making up for it through her. In short, Father Qi treated his daughter-in-law better and better, and he spoke more gently to her than even Grandpa. Oh, right, he also gave her a black credit card to use as she pleased.
Because of this, Chi Shuyan couldn’t vent her anger on Father Qi anymore. She just hoped that their relationship would improve.
Fine, she couldn’t be bothered to think too much about the father and son. She would let her man resolve it himself.
When Qi Hao didn’t hear his sister-in-law’s reply, he couldn’t help but continue to babble, “Sister-in-law, the more I think about it, the more I feel that my cousin and my uncle’s relationship is too stiff. Usually, it’s as if they don’t see each other, especially my cousin. He treats my uncle like he’s invisible. Sister-in-law, actually, my uncle doesn’t feel good either. It’s not like he doesn’t care about my cousin. If you have time, tell my cousin properly. He will definitely listen to you!”
Chi Shuyan thought to herself that she could intervene in any other matter except for this conflict between father and son. Personally, she was biased toward her man and felt sorry for him. However, neither Father Qi nor Qi Zhenbai were in the wrong; it was only the fourth son of the Qi family who had been in the wrong. She could say that the fourth son deserved it, but Father Qi obviously couldn’t. After all, the fourth son was Father Qi’s younger brother. Father Qi’s heart ached for his younger brother, but that was unfair to Qi Zhenbai.
So, no matter what, this matter was a dead knot. She could only hope that the father and son slowly thought things through, and she wouldn’t interfere. Afraid that Qi Hao would be disappointed, she nodded and said, “Mm, I’ll try to talk to your cousin then!”
Sure enough, Qi Hao was pleased. Fortunately, Qi Hao didn’t keep asking, and immediately changed the subject and asked where they were going. Chi Shuyan told him about Chai Qing’s sudden death, which immediately caught Qi Hao’s attention. Qi Hao was both excited and terrified. After all, he had experienced what happened at the burial mounds before. He, Chengfu and the others would have died there if they hadn’t been lucky enough to be saved in time.
Although it sounded scary, Qi Hao still found it quite exciting. He couldn’t help but ask, “Sister-in-law, how on earth did that woman die? Did she run into something she shouldn’t have?”
Chi Shuyan couldn’t make things clear in one sentence, and couldn’t be bothered to say anything else. She didn’t want Qi Hao to rashly get involved, so she replied absent-mindedly. Not long after, the car stopped in the neighborhood.
Chi Shuyan opened the car door and called Brother Feng back. Qi Hao parked the car and hurriedly followed behind her. “Sister-in-law, I’ll go too. I’ll go take a look too!”
Chi Shuyan took in Qi Hao’s excited and curious expression. She was helpless and could only let him follow her.
Not long after, Feng Yuanlin received Shuyan’s call and immediately came out to get her. Gu Yunzheng came out with Feng Yuanlin. He was very enthusiastic when he saw Chi Shuyan and took the initiative to extend his hand. “Miss Chi, we meet again. We’re really fated to meet!”
Feng Yuanlin thought to himself that it was a good thing Zhenbai hadn’t followed them here. Otherwise, he would definitely be jealous again.
Qi Hao looked at Gu Yunzheng warily, as if afraid that he would steal Chi Shuyan away. Gu Yunzheng was amused.
After Chi Shuyan greeted Gu Yunzheng, she immediately asked Brother Feng about what happened. Feng Yuanlin gave her a rough account of Chai Qing’s tragic death, then mentioned that her body was still inside. He asked her if she wanted to take a look.
Chi Shuyan nodded and everyone went in together. Before they went in, Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but sigh. “Shuyan, this woman died quite tragically. It’s best to be mentally prepared when you see the corpse later.”
Chi Shuyan nodded. As they entered the building, Chi Shuyan glanced at the curious Qi Hao behind her and couldn’t help but say, “Haozi, why don’t you wait for me in the car?”
“No, Sister-in-law, I want to take a look too!” Qi Hao immediately said.
“Are you that curious? Aren’t you afraid of getting nightmares?” Chi Shuyan warned him. Seeing that Qi Hao ignored her and still wanted to take a look, she didn’t persuade him anymore. This kid was an adult anyway, so he could take a look if he wanted to!
Qi Hao was still worried that his sister-in-law wouldn’t let him take a look. Seeing that she didn’t chase him out, he relaxed. When his sister-in-law crouched down and lifted the white cloth, Qi Hao leaned forward. When he saw the tragic state of the corpse under the white cloth, Qi Hao jerked in fright and blurted out, “Holy sh*t.” He turned around and ran to the door to support himself as he threw up.
Chi Shuyan looked at Qi Hao. Seeing that he was just pale with fright and nothing else, she stopped paying attention to him and looked seriously at the corpse under the white cloth.
Chi Shuyan stared at the body for a while and understood why Brother Feng wanted her to prepare herself. Chai Qing had indeed died a tragic death; not only had her body been cut in half, her internal organs had also exploded and her head had also been smashed. One of her eyes had even rolled out. While her skin hadn’t been peeled off, there was a huge hole in her head.
Chi Shuyan took a few glances before she covered the corpse again with the white cloth. While she sighed in her heart, she didn’t have much sympathy for Chai Qing. She thought of something and tilted her head to ask Brother Feng, “By the way, where’s Yuan Yuan? Brother Feng!”
