“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Dad sees me as his own son, and I think of him as my father as well. I respect him, and I love him. Moreover, Dad and I don’t put too high an expectation on you as long as you work hard, Lil Rui. Even if you failed to get into a good university, dad would definitely help you out. If you really like online games, I’ll talk to dad about it so he’ll understand you more, as well as understand your dream occupation. But even so, you’ll need to pass your final examinations before participating in e-sports competitions!”
Leng Qirui sneered at him. “Heh, why is that? Afraid I’ll go to the military base and steal your rice bowl? Are you worried? …Ye Hai, do you know your facial expression looks so distorted right now? Tsk tsk. A deeply masked thankless wretch is exposing its sharp teeth, what a rare sight. Sigh… I was originally thinking of continuing to pursue my career in e-sports. But the moment I saw that malevolent face of yours, I suddenly felt like heading over to the military base was no longer as dreadful a thought anymore. Are you starting to regret the times you sold me out when I played online games in the past? Are you starting to feel like I’m more suitable to be a lowlife now? It’s a pity… It’s all too late! Tomorrow I’ll inform my dad that I’m entering the military base! Sayonara!”
With that, Leng Qirui left the scene. However, Ye Hai did not move a step from the end of the corridor.
The pupils of Chi Yang’s eyes darkened slightly. Then, he turned around and returned to the ward.
“Nuannuan called and said she’s coming to visit you tomorrow.”
The moment he heard that Zhong Nuannuan was stopping by, Leng Jinpeng’s darkened complexion improved slightly. “I’ll be troubling the little lady then.”
“She’s one of us, so no need to mention it.”
Leng Jinpeng and Qu Mingyi glanced at each other. It seemed like they had just been inexplicably stuffed with a mouthful of dog food.
“Who would’ve thought a person like Zhong Kuijun would have such an excellent daughter.”
Leng Jinpeng sighed once more. “When will Lil Rui grow up to be as sensible as Nuannuan? I’d be able to wake up in the morning with a big smile on my face.”
Qu Mingyi could only keep his mouth shut when he heard Leng Jinpeng’s sigh.
That pampered prince of his, Leng Qirui, was really too unreliable.
“Perhaps he’s not as bad as you think he is.”
Leng Jinpeng was stunned by this. “Don’t you absolutely and unflinchingly look down on him?”
“Was it that obvious?”
Leng Jinpeng turned gloomy as he thought to himself, ‘Could it be any more obvious? The only thing left to do was carving out the words “I look down on you” on your face.’
“Anything can change, maybe you’ve misunderstood him as well.”
Leng Jinpeng waved his hand and said, “Forget it, stop trying to sway me. I’m clear about how my son is. I’m just waiting for him to graduate from high school so I can tie him to the military base. When the times comes, make sure you drill him to death for me.”
Ye Hai, who had just sorted out his emotions and was about to push the door to enter overheard the conversation inside, and his face was instantly distorted once more.
Then, he entered the toilet and took out another mobile phone from his pants. He turned it on and issued a command to an unregistered number.
“Carry out the task tonight; He’s on his way home, alone. Move fast and do not leave any clues behind.”
After sending the message, Ye Hai turned off the phone, removed the SIM card, and broke it in half before throwing it into the toilet bowl. He flushed twice before walking out with a ruddy complexion.
…
When she heard news of Chi Yang’s ambush, it was about eleven o’clock at night. It was a school night, and Zhong Qianqian was already exhausted, so she had fallen asleep earlier on. Thus, Zhong Nuannuan quietly tip-toed from the second floor to the third floor and entered Zhong Qianqian’s room with ease. Then, she carefully sprayed a fine mist on her face.
Zhong Qianqian’s brows furrowed when she felt the strange sensation on her face and then proceeded to fall into a deep sleep.
