Chapter 857: Father Chi’s Questions
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When they got home, Chi Lingyan called for his daughter and wanted to talk to her about Fang Qingyang. As the saying went, a father knew his daughter best. Thinking of Fang Qingyang and the ticket inspector, he felt that Yan Yan had behaved abnormally today. Chi Lingyan frowned and couldn’t help but ask about it.
Chi Shuyan naturally couldn’t outright tell her father that she wanted to mess with the man surnamed Fang. She took a few glances at her father. She really couldn’t blame him for being worse off than that Fang man. The latter must have played a lot of tricks on her father in the past, but her father definitely disdained to do the same. However, to deal with a nasty person like this, one could only resort to the same. She thought of how, just as her father and Uncle Wei received their call to come to the station, the Fang man had arrived right after – what could that mean?
Moreover, why was he constantly taking jabs at her father?
Chi Shuyan reined in her anger. She originally wanted to use what she had said to fool Uncle Wei to fool her father, but after thinking about it, she said directly, “Dad, you said so much just now to that Fang guy. You outright told him about vampires and corpse poison, but did he believe you?”
Chi Lingyan choked, then heard his daughter change the subject. “Then, would he believe anything I say?”
If the other party really believed what she had said earlier, she could only say that he was too stupid. Chi Shuyan thought of her half-baked acting skills and ridiculed herself. That Fang person really believed in gauging upright people by his own despicable measure.
Chi Lingyan sighed and said seriously, “Yan Yan, I just want to ask if that ticket inspector was infected with corpse poison. If she bites someone, can she turn them into living dead?”
Chi Shuyan thought to herself that it indeed wasn’t a minor corpse poison infection. Probably no one had believed her earlier about drinking water after immersing a talisman in it. So, when she had looked at the ticket inspector just now, the infection was still quite serious. The woman would definitely bite someone, but those who were bitten wouldn’t turn into the living dead. In the end, the woman herself wasn’t truly the living dead, nor had she really come into contact with one. If she bit someone, they would at most be infected with corpse poison and rot all over.
Chi Shuyan deliberated for a moment, then told a mix of truth and lies. “Dad, the ticket inspector was indeed infected with corpse poison. As for whether or not she will bite someone, I really don’t know. It will depend on luck. Of course, I can assure you that she was only infected with corpse poison and didn’t come into contact with actual living dead. Even if she really bites someone, they won’t turn into the living dead. Don’t worry!”
Only when Chi Lingyan heard his daughter’s last sentence did he sigh with relief. He wasn’t worried about Fang Qingyang, but about the entire military district. He was afraid that Yan Yan was venting her anger for his sake. He really didn’t dare imagine what it would be like if the number of “living dead” increased.
“Dad, I’m sleepy. I’ll go to my room first!” Chi Shuyan was really afraid that her father would ask her about the Taobao shop again.
Chi Lingyan pursed his lips and stroked his daughter’s head. He suddenly said guiltily, “Yan Yan, it was Dad who let you down in the past and neglected you!”
Chi Shuyan was lost for words. What was wrong with her father today? What had gotten into him?
At that moment, Chi Lingyan said, “Yan Yan, you’re sleepy, right? Go to bed!”
Chi Shuyan nodded and suddenly said, “Dad, don’t forget to take that Nourishment Pill. One every day!”
“Got it!”
Back in her room, Chi Shuyan took a shower. She had been busy for the past few days. When she calmed down, she realized that she hadn’t spoken to Qi Zhenbai for a few days. After taking a shower, she took out her phone and saw that he hadn’t sent her a single message.
She subconsciously was about to ask if he was there, but then stopped. Fine, this man was probably busy, so she shouldn’t disturb him.. However, she still felt out of sorts.
