Chen Yu'an reached the designated floor. Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, it suddenly swung open from the inside.
Chi Yu stood by the door, stepping aside to make room for him.
"Are you okay?"
After entering the room, Chi Yu asked with some concern.
Chen Yu'an let out a soft grunt and nodded, indicating that he was fine.
"Let's take out the tracker now. We won't need it anymore."
Chi Yu said anxiously.
The tracker was implanted in the muscles of Chen Yu'an's back. At first, when Chi Yu heard that Chen Yu'an was going to do this, he was opposed to it.
But he didn't have a better solution. It was already a risky move to hide the pills. If the tracker was discovered, the plan would fail.
Chen Yu'an wouldn't allow the plan to fail.
He wanted Chen Jingsheng to pay the price for what he had done.
"Have you memorized the route?"
Chen Yu'an turned to Chi Weichuan and asked.
Chi Weichuan nodded seriously. "I've memorized it all."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yu'an held out a recording pen in front of Chi Weichuan.
"Remember, half an hour after your brother and I leave here, you call the police and hand this to them.
That recording pen not only contains recordings about Chen Jingsheng but also secretly taken evidence of all his misdeeds over the years.
"You stay here. I'll go."
Chi Yu's voice rang out.
Chen Yu'an just glanced at him. His expression didn't change much, but his words left Chi Yu speechless.
"Do you think your current condition can ensure you get out of that place safely? You might not even last until the police arrive."
Chen Yu'an's words were harsh but true.
"Hurry up. There's not much time left." Chen Yu'an urged, pushing open the door and walking out.
Chi Yu quickly followed.
The two soon reached their destination.
Before entering, Chen Yu'an suddenly stopped. He turned to look at Chi Yu, opened his mouth as if to say something, but after a two - second pause, he said nothing and walked straight in.
Chi Yu followed closely behind.
Chen Yu'an's gamble paid off. Chen Jingsheng had deliberately sent everyone away to achieve the ultimate effect.
He had hypnotized many people, and there were many believers who worshiped and respected him, but he didn't trust anyone. He only trusted himself.
Soon, the two reached the hypnosis room.
The door was pushed open forcefully.
Chen Jingsheng was sitting with his back to them. Hearing the noise, he slowly turned around. The smile on his face suddenly turned ferocious when he saw Chi Yu.
He stared at Chen Yu'an with blood - shot eyes.
"Where is the person! Where is the person I want?!"
Chen Yu'an's eyes were cold as he looked at him like a dead object and didn't say a word.
Meeting Chen Yu'an's gaze, Chen Jingsheng's eyes were filled with disbelief. He staggered for a moment. "You weren't hypnotized by me?"
His voice was uncertain, but his eyes couldn't lie.
He was scared and skeptical.
Chen Jingsheng couldn't believe that his hypnosis could go wrong.
Just like he never thought that Jiang Zhirou would break free from his control.
Chen Jingsheng suddenly burst into laughter. His eyes darted back and forth between Chi Yu and Chen Yu'an. "So? Since you didn't bring the person, why are you back?"
"Do you think... if Chen Jingming knew how you treated his daughter, would he still recognize you as his brother?"
Chi Yu suddenly spoke.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the smile on Chen Jingsheng's face froze. He glared at Chi Yu fiercely.
"What do you know? You're just a tool I used to control Jiang Zhirou. What right do you have to make wild assumptions here?"
All the confidence that Chen Jingsheng used to have was gone.
His eyes fell on Chen Yu'an.
"I admit I lost this time. Next time, you won't be so lucky."
Chen Yu'an frowned. "There won't be a next time."
The next second, something flew towards Chen Jingsheng at high speed.
By the time Chi Yu realized what was happening, the man had fallen to the ground, covering his neck.
Blood was gushing out continuously.
Chi Yu's eyes widened. He quickly ran towards Chen Jingsheng.
He tightly covered the wound on Chen Jingsheng's neck and looked at Chen Yu'an in disbelief.
"You're crazy! The police will be here soon! He can't escape! Do you know you're ruining your own life like this?!"
"Ruining your life for such a scumbag. Have you lost your mind?!"
Chi Yu's eyes were blood - red as he roared at Chen Yu'an.
Chen Yu'an rarely didn't retort. A faint smile played on his lips. "Chi Yu, I'm different from you. I only have Qingmian. I must protect her.
"From now on, take care of Qingmian for me."
A sense of panic welled up in Chi Yu's heart, but Chen Yu'an had already quickly left the scene.
A week later, Ming'an Corporation hit the headlines. A group of its senior executives were taken away by the police for investigation. All of Wei Jianguo's misdeeds over the years, such as extorting Chen Yu'an and colluding with the An family, were exposed by the media.
Chen Yu'an was wanted for intentional injury.
General Chi, who had won countless medals, was also removed from his post because of Jiang Zhirou's document.
Overnight, the capital city was turned upside down.
A month later, Chi Yu went to Rui Kang Hospital for a routine follow - up check - up.
As he approached Dr. Ji Bai's office, he heard Lu Wenxi's voice.
"Mianbao has been suffering from severe morning sickness lately. I feel so bad for her. I wonder who the baby will take after. I heard that if the morning sickness is severe, it means you'll have a son. If Mianbao has a boy, he'll definitely be a little heartthrob!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud "bang" as the door was almost smashed open.
Lu Wenxi was about to scold when she turned around and saw Chi Yu standing outside. The words on her lips were immediately swallowed.
Ji Bai beside her also didn't dare to make a sound. The three of them just stared at each other.
...
On the other side of the ocean.
Jiang Zhirou deliberately stayed away from all electronic devices that could receive external information to focus on her pregnancy.
Her daily life consisted of reading books and watering flowers.
The winter in Grindelwald was beautiful. The outside world was covered in snow, like it was wearing a white coat.
She loved the snow, and she was happy every day here.
Si Moshen had arranged many professionals for her. In just half a month since she arrived in Grindelwald, she had visibly gained weight.
"Madam, there's a Chinese man outside looking for you. He said he's your friend."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou put down the book in her hand and got up to go outside.
The day before she came here, she had dinner with Wen Yunzhe. Lu Wenxi, that big mouth, accidentally let slip that she was pregnant.
After that, she had sporadic contact with Wen Yunzhe.
Not long ago, he said he was going to take a week off and come here for a visit. Jiang Zhirou subconsciously thought it was Wen Yunzhe.
She wrapped her coat tightly around her and walked out.
When she saw the man standing outside, she froze on the spot.
She had deliberately avoided all external information for fear of hearing the news that Chi Yu had married someone else.
Now that he was standing right in front of her, Jiang Zhirou's nose felt sour, and her vision became blurred.
The voice that she had recalled countless times in her mind rang in her ears.
"Zhirou, do you remember the question you asked me when we first met?"
"Would you like to come with me?"
Chi Yu shook his head with a gentle smile.
"No, it's not this one."
Jiang Zhirou's pupils suddenly constricted.
"It's, will you be my family?"
Will you be my family?
Tears rolled down Jiang Zhirou's cheeks. Just like that day in the Chi family's mansion, she held out her hand to Chi Yu.
A warm feeling spread through her palm, and she heard her own voice.
"Yes."
