Chapter 21: Lingering Thoughts

After getting in the car, Qi Tian couldn't resist secretly taking a photo of Qi Yunyu watching Yuan Yuan off with his phone.

"That brat is usually so cold to us, but as soon as he sees that little girl, he gets all clingy. I think, instead of just calling her sister, we should arrange a baby engagement for the two kids right now. Then our Qi family will surely benefit in the future."

Qi Yunyu was taken aback upon hearing this. His pale cheeks flushed slightly, and he saw the bobbing ball head on top of his head in the rearview mirror.

He took a deep breath silently, then turned to look seriously at Qi Tian.

"Dad, you can't be disrespectful to sister. We're still just kids."

Qi Tian: ...

This son is hopeless. His mind must be addled.

Even behind Yuan Yuan's back, he still calls her sister.

Does he really think he's a girl?

Realizing this, Qi Tian's face showed horror.

...

Zhang Zhenwei took Zhang Yuanyuan home. On the way, seeing the little girl in high spirits, he repeatedly warned her to have less contact with the Qi family boys in the future.

Yuan Yuan didn't take much of it to heart and was still full of energy.

When they got home, as soon as she got out of the car, she saw from afar Zhang Chen, who had already returned home and was waiting.

Little Yuan Yuan dashed towards Zhang Chen: "Uncle!"

Zhang Chen, who was on the phone, had a tremble in his hand. After seeing the little girl, he simply hung up the phone. With a gentle look on his face, he squatted down and opened his arms, waiting for her to run into his embrace.

Who wouldn't love such a sweet and soft little dumpling!

However, who would have thought that this little dumpling suddenly stopped just before reaching him and stood still in front of Zhang Chen!

"Uncle, I have something very important to tell you!"

Zhang Chen's mouth twitched...

He grabbed the little dumpling and stuffed her directly into his arms. "What can't you say after giving Uncle a hug first? You don't even come and give Uncle a cuddle when you're back!"

Zhang Yuanyuan burst into giggles as he tickled her. Old Grandpa Zhang followed behind them, shaking his head helplessly.

"Zhang Chen, you'd better listen first."

"Our girl did something big at the Qi family today. If it's something she thinks is important, it must be closely related to your life."

Zhang Chen turned to tease the little girl: "Really? Our Yuan Yuan is so amazing? Then tell me, Uncle is listening."

Little Yuan Yuan was so elated by the praise that she calmly brushed away a bit of black aura lingering on Zhang Chen's shoulder.

It seemed that the little ghost that had latched onto Zhang Chen at the company earlier hadn't followed him home.

She briefly recounted what she had seen at the company during the day, and then seriously told them about the harmfulness of the little ghost.

"Uncle is a person with great fortune, so there are many villains eyeing your position and good luck."

"The little ghost I met today was raised with someone's essence and blood. It died a very tragic death. It was born to become the so - called 'god' in some people's hearts. Almost all of them were cut out alive from their mothers' wombs when they were just formed and forcibly refined into the so - called little ghosts."

"So it has a very deep grudge and strong spiritual energy. If you ask them for something, they will generally grant your wish."

"However, if the little ghost turns against you, the outcome will be out of control."

Yuan Yuan's eyes were firm, and her words sent a chill down Zhang Chen's spine.

"Cut out alive?"

He had heard of such things, but it felt completely different coming from his niece's mouth.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but clench his hands.

He couldn't imagine that there could be such cruel people in the world.

Yuan Yuan patted Zhang Chen's hand: "Uncle, don't worry. As long as I'm here, nothing serious will happen. But you have to find out as soon as possible who is trying to harm you behind your back. Otherwise, it's hard to prevent them from taking action when I'm not around!"

"I can give you a little clue... He is relatively close to you and has secretly been in contact with Uncle Chu Heng from the Chu family."

Hearing this, Zhang Chen nodded seriously.

"Okay, Uncle will listen to you."

After she finished speaking, Yuan Yuan happily burrowed into Zhang Chen's arms.

The warm embrace surrounded the little dumpling. A reassuring scent wafted into her nose, and a great sense of security enveloped her.

Before long, while Zhang Chen on top of her was still deep in thought, the little girl in his arms fell into a deep sleep.

She was a cute little pink ball, just like a doll.

Zhang Chen's heart melted like warm water, and his eyes softened even more.

"She's too tired today. Let's put her to bed first." Zhang Zhenwei said.

"Okay."

Zhang Chen responded and gently carried the little one into the room to sleep. He then lay down beside her.

With this little kid around, he felt so at ease.

Meanwhile.

In the hospital.

The doctor looked at the various examination reports in his hand in disbelief, checking them over and over again. Then he examined Old Mr. Qi with his instruments.

Finally, he clicked his tongue in amazement.

"It's simply a miracle. Which doctor did you go to? All of Old Mr. Qi's physical functions have basically recovered!"

"How long has it been?"

"Old sir will surely be energetic for another three to five years at least!"

Qi Tian and Old Mr. Qi were both extremely excited.

The old man quickly patted Qi Tian's hand: "You haven't given that little girl a thank - you gift yet today, have you? Hurry up. Transfer ten million yuan as her pocket money later!"

"Remember to remind Old Zhang that this is the pocket money we're giving to Yuan Yuan. It has nothing to do with the grown - ups in their family!"

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll do it right away!"

Qi Tian excitedly agreed. He took the examination report and left the hospital with the grandfather and grandson. Soon, he arranged the transfer.

When Zhang Zhenwei saw the arrival information on his phone, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Old Qi is so stingy. That's all he gives."

If Yuan Yuan saw this, her jaw would surely drop in shock.

So many zeros, and it's still considered little?

She had only seen such a large amount of money with her master before and had never touched it herself.

Her master said that kids shouldn't flaunt so much money around, unless they donated it all to the ancestor...

In her sleep, Yuan Yuan smacked her lips, and crystal - clear drool slid down her cheek.

...

Late at night.

The police station was brightly lit. The over - working policemen yawned but had to pat their faces to force themselves to stay awake.

Zhang Hang and another policeman were holding several autopsy results and countless sheets of travel information, looking extremely worried.

"Brother Hang, have you found anything?" the police officer asked.

Zhang Hang pondered: "I'm not completely sure yet..."

"Brother Hang!"

Before Zhang Hang could finish his sentence, a hurried voice suddenly interrupted them.

"Look at what this is!"

The person handed over some materials, a stack of photos.

Zhang Hang quickly looked through them one by one. The photos showed all the movements of the Chu family and the deceased driver over the past few years.

The pictures indicated that the deceased driver hadn't had direct contact with the Chu family over the years. However, there had been a strange - acting person from the Chu family every year. This person had changed countless disguises and vehicles and finally contacted the driver's family.

Finally, the driver's family was all detained.

Without a doubt, that person was still in the Chu family!

The people from their technical department had analyzed and cross - checked countless times with the computer before they could tell that "they" were all the same person among the countless disguises!

Zhang Hang silently put down the photos and looked at the police officer beside him.

"Old Li, arrest the person!"

"Yes!"

Old Li responded and immediately led the others out.

That night, the police cars in the station were like a long dragon, cutting through the night and shuttling back and forth in the city.

The policemen who had been staking out outside the Chu family immediately became alert and surrounded the Chu family first!

However, when Zhang Hang led his men there, Chu Heng walked out in his pajamas, looking completely calm.
