Chapter 537: 343 Operation too hardcore, Qi Duidui breaks through the affair? (4 more)

It wasn’t that he intentionally hung up on Jiang Jinsang’s call, but a new call had cthrough, from Qi Zeyan.

“Old Huo, you said today that you would take responsibility for Miss Shen's issue, how exactly will you take

responsibility? Maybe | should bring something and visit her another day.” Qi Zeyan had a quick thought about

the kind of person someone was; he was quite clear about it.

He was going to show concern for Shen Shuci?

That was bound to scare the poor girl to death. It was an incident caused by him, and it wouldn't be right to

remain uninvolved.

“Because of me, the horse got frightened, and | didn’t inquire further, that’s not too good.”

“You don’t trust me?”

“Of course, that’s not what | mean at all! When it comes to handling matters, | trust you completely. Who could

be more reliable than you? Even Jiang Yanting and Jiang Xiaowu aren't as careful as you are.” Desperate to

survive.

If it were anything else, Qi Zeyan would certainly trust him, but this was about social niceties, and someone was

really lacking in that area.

Qi Zeyan was close to telling him: | really don’t trust you!

“If that’s the case, what do you mean by calling?”

Since he trusted him yet called to take responsibility, it obviously meant distrust.

“I... 1 got confused with busyness today, hanging up now.”

Qi Zeyan finished speaking and hung up the phone. Could it really be that he was going to ignore the matter?

Yesterday, when the horse got startled, he was there too and watched with a pounding heart. If there had been a

serious fall, it wouldn't have resulted in disability, but at least sskin would have been lost. Qi Zeyan always

felt uneasy about it...

Maybe he should still visit her sother day.

ok

Meanwhile, Shen Shuci was still pondering whether to send him a message to explain today’s messaging

incident but didn’t know what to say. It was too awkward.

Before she could send a message, she received a text from him:

[Pick you up at 6 am tomorrow.]

Not a word more than necessary. Shen Shuci lay on her back in bed, unsure of what to do next. She spent ages

drafting a message:

[Mr. Huo, | really appreciate your concern, but my hand is no longer a serious problem. You really don’t need to

go to the trouble for me. | feel bad about making you run back and forth. I will drive myself tomorrow...]

She sent a message of a hundred or so words, only to receive a four-word reply:

[Lying is not good.]

Shen Shuci stared at the message, dumbfounded, suddenly at a loss for words.

The next morning, the Huo Family car was still punctually parked at the entrance of her apartment building.

Her hand, particularly at the base of her thumb, still ached a bit. The swelling had gone down elsewhere, and it

was mostly healed unless deliberately touched. Driving should not be a problem.

“Mr. Huo, | will drive myself to work today.”

But after Shen Shuci got into the car, he opened the passenger door and sat down as well, leaving her staring

agape. What was he up to now?

“I want to check something.”

“Okay.”

Shen Shuci cleared her throat with a soft cough, started the car, and, in theory, it should be easy to drive an

automatic car. She had gotten her license as an adult and was naturally athletic, handling the car smoothly

abroad. Now with the ‘God of Death’ sitting beside her, she couldn't help but be a bit nervous.

Most importantly, the driving position was different overseas, and road planning was slightly different, so it felt a

bit unsettling to drive on the roads here.

The roads in the residential area weren't very broad, with many cars and pedestrians passing by, so the vehicle

moved very slowly within the complex.

“What do you want to know about me?”

He suddenly spoke, Shen Shuci was concentrating on driving and wasn’t quick to respond, “Know what about

you?”

“What did you ask Xiaowu aboutyesterday?”

Shen Shuci gritted her teeth:

Jiang Jinsang—what did you tell him!

| even helped you with Wanwan before; it was like feeding a dog.

“It’s nothing, | was just casually asking.” Shen Shuci forced a laugh.

“If you want to know something, you can askdirectly.” His voice was deep and sonorous, but his words

scared Shen Shuci so much that her fingers shook, the car veered, and she slammed on the brakes, almost

knocking over a trash can on the side of the road.

Shen Shuci’s heart skipped a beat from the scare, but the man in the passenger seat remained unfazed even as

they almost had an accident. He simply gave her a rather cool glance, “Lying, showing off.”

The conclusion was: Her injury hadn’t healed, and she still needed his shuttle service.

“..."” Shen Shuci was utterly frustrated!

Who was showing off?

Without waiting for her to speak, the man had already opened his door, leaving her with one sentence: “Get out,

cinto my car.”

A member of the Huo Family had already opened her car door, “Miss Shen, please go to work in the car. We'll

take care of parking your car in the spot you used before.”

What could Shen Shuci do? She had no choice but to get back into his car...

ok

Early in the morning, Qi Zeyan had called Jiang Jinsang to ask for Shen Shuci’s haddress.

“Why are you asking for her address?”

“Didn’t she get into an accident because of me? I'm not feeling too easy about it, | plan to stop by and see her

after work tonight, buy something for her visit. By the way, can you ask your wife what she likes? I'm afraid that

if | buy something she doesn’t like, it'll be a waste if she doesn’t eat or use it.”

“Didn’t she tell you the address at the entrance of the Huo Family's place a few days ago?” When Shen Shuci

mentioned her address then, Qi Zeyan had been standing right there.

“I only remember the nof the neighborhood, I've forgotten the specifics.”

He hadn't really paid attention to the building number or unit and had forgotten as soon as he heard it.

“The address is...” Jiang Jinsang gave him the address, “As for her preferences, I'll ask around for you.”

“Thanks.”

If Qi Zeyan didn’t go in person, his conscience wouldn’t allow it.

So after work, following the preferences Tang Wan had provided, he bought sfood and drove to Shen Shuci’s

home.

He first went upstairs and rang the doorbell, but when he found nobody home, he waited outside the apartment

building.

Initially, Qi Zeyan had thought of picking her up from her company since he heard that Shen Shuci was lately

taking taxis to work, but the car he drove was quite eye-catching. With numerous companies nearby, should

someone recognize him, or if any photos were taken...

The visit could have potentially drawn Shen Shuci into strouble, and that wouldn't be good.

As the daylight faded and the cool breeze grew chillier, Qi Zeyan was considering whether to wait in his car when

he saw a familiar car approaching slowly from afar.

Before seeing the license plate, he couldn't help but be amazed:

In this neighborhood, there’s such an impressive car?

As far as he knew, there were no more than three cars of this brand and model in the entire country. He knew

the Huo Family had one, but it never occurred to him that in such an unremarkable neighborhood there might be

hidden dragons and crouching tigers. However, as the car drew closer, he was flabbergasted...

The license plate was too familiar!

This wasn't that...

“Master, that up ahead is Young Master Qi.”

Qi Zeyan stood out sharply with his crisp suit, slick side-parted hair, and distinguished appearance.

“Hmm.”

As a result, Qi Zeyan watched, utterly perplexed, as Shen Shuci got out of the car and walked toward him, “Mr.

Qi?”

Shen Shuci, also somewhat awkwardly embarrassed, still greeted him politely.

“Miss Shen.” Qi Zeyan greeted her while his gaze was steadfastly fixed on someone's car, and the man who had

also gotten out of the car and now stood beside it, his eyes coldly fixed on him.

At home, he would practice his punches and kicks on a wooden dummy, and at that moment, Qi Zeyan felt that

in this man’s eyes, he was probably no different from those dummies.

“What brings you here?” Shen Shuci

asked with a polite smile, noting the

“You were injured because of me, so | should visit.”

“Would you like to cup for a while?” Shen Shuci politely asked.

“Ah?” Qi Zeyan, having already been startled, was dazed, then suddenly cback to his senses, “No, no, | just

cto make sure you were alright, you take these, | won't go up.”

“Cup for a cup of tea.”

It seemed rude not to invite him in after he had call this way to visit and had yet to step through the door.

“No need, | still have things to do.” Qi Zeyan was greatly shaken and certainly not in the mood for tea.

At that moment, he wanted to find a wall to face and reflect, just to calm down for a moment.

“Then...” Shen Shuci looked at Qi Zeyan, then glanced at the man standing by the car.

Neither of them moved, just standing there, and it wasn’t appropriate for her, the host, to turn around and head

upstairs.

“Zeyan, get in the car, you're coming to my house for dinner tonight.”

“| still have swork at the company...” Qi Zeyan was internally shaken and dared not go to the Huo Family.

Could he have stumbled upon saffair? If he went to the Huo Family’s place, he might be silenced for good!

He wasn’t a fool to go hwith him for dinner now.

“Then I'll drive you back to your company.”
