Chapter 35: This Is Your Family’s Internal Conflict, Not an imprisonment

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The result of this incident could be imagined. First Master and Qi Ming especially spent a large sum of money to buy a few pieces of top-grade raw stones, which turned out to be plain stones. This directly caused the Qi family to lose almost one billion yuan (these few pieces were all half-gambling raw stones and were especially expensive).

This time, even if First Master and Qi Ming wanted to push the blame to Manager Li, they couldn’t. After all, a few pieces of raw stones added up to several tons. Unless Manager Li was Hercules, it was impossible for him to move such a heavy item.

Qi Yihan looked at them sharply and gave them two choices. “Take out this money from your own pockets to make up for the loss. Or I’ll use my status as CEO to fire you.”

“How dare you!” First Master was now like an angry beast without a sense of reason. He wanted nothing more than to tear the man in front of him apart. “You must have arranged all of this. I personally went to buy the best raw stones, so it’s impossible for every piece to be plain stone. Qi Yihan, in order to obtain all of my father’s inheritance, did you not even care about the fact that I am your brother?”

Upon hearing this, Qi Yihan’s lips curled into a mocking smile. He didn’t plan on talking to him at all and told the bodyguards beside him, “Send them back to the Qi Mansion. Before taking out this sum of money, you’re grounded at home.”

“Qi Yihan, what right do you have to ground us? Do you believe I will sue you for imprisonment?”

“Sure, Chief Chen is right here. You can sue me right now.”

Chief Chen was definitely on Qi Yihan’s side, and his expression immediately turned serious. “This is an internal conflict in your family. It can’t be considered imprisonment.”

First Master glared at him as though he wanted to eat him alive and was about to curse Qi Yihan.

Qi Yi said coldly, “I’m going to visit Father now. If you say one more word, everything that happened today will reach Father’s ears.”

“You… you…”

First Master was so furious that he actually fainted.

“Father! Father!”

Qi Ming was terrified. He called his father at the peak of his voice and then carried him away.

When Qi Yihan and Chief Chen were the only two left in the warehouse, Chief Chen asked Qi Yihan, “How do you plan to handle this matter?”

First Master and Qi Ming were not fools. It was impossible for them to spend so much just for some plain stones. Something must have happened.

Qi Yihan pondered for a few seconds before saying, “Something might have happened on their way back.”

Otherwise, it would not make sense at all.

Chief Chen thought so. “If that’s the case, the Qi family will suffer a huge loss this time.”

“Since they’re the ones responsible, I’ll let them fill up the losses.”

Since it was their fault, the Qi family would not bear the loss for them.

Looking at Qi Yihan who looked cold and expressionless, Chief Chen shook his head and made no further comments.

Chief Chen glanced at his watch and said, “It’s already past ten. Since we haven’t found anything, I’ll leave first. You should go back and rest too.”

“Yeah. Thanks for today.”

“What’s there to thank? As a public servant, it’s our duty to serve the people.”

Chief Chen left after saying that.

After Chief Chen left with his men, Qi Yihan gathered all the warehouse staff and said a few words before leaving.

“Fourth Master, wait.”

Manager Li chased after him and stopped him. “Fourth Master, thank you for believing me. There were some things that I couldn’t say previously, but I thought I needed to tell you.”

Qi Yihan looked at him and said, “You can speak your mind.”

“It’s just that… there are some things you might not believe if I tell you, but I think it’s real.”

Intimidated by Qi Yihan’s powerful aura, Manager Li stuttered. “It’s that… I think the raw stones that First Master brought back are fine, and they weren’t swapped.”

“After the raw stones arrived, I especially took a closer look. Through the small hole, I indeed saw top-grade jades.”

“I heard people from my hometown say that jades have spiritual energy and can attract… I think it might have been stolen by something invisible.”

As Qi Yihan listened to him, he frowned but did not deny it. For some reason, the first person that came across his mind was Tang Li.

“Fourth… Fourth Master.”

Qi Yihan returned to his senses and looked at him. “I’ll get someone to take a look. Take care of the warehouse.”

After saying that, he turned around and got into the car.

After the car drove out of the warehouse district, Qi Yihan massaged his throbbing temples and suddenly said to the driver, “Go to the hospital.”

…

Tang Li had been staying in Dr. Augustine’s laboratory with the three doctors since the afternoon. She only came out at around midnight.

They all looked tired and excited after coming out of the laboratory.

Augustine was so excited that he waved his arms and said, “The experiment is in progress. I will stay in the laboratory for the next few days. As long as the cells are alive, we can call it a success.”

Dr. Xiang was also very excited. He adjusted his glasses and said, “As long as this experiment succeeds, Dr. Augustine and Mrs. Qi will be the leaders of cell rebirth. When the time comes, you guys will be remembered by generations to come.”

“Haha, as long as it can bring benefits to humanity.”

The four of them walked for a while and arrived at the passageway.

Augustine said, “Miss Tang, let me walk you there.”

“No need.” Tang Li refused. “The villa I’m staying in is right over there. You don’t have to go out of your way.”

With that, she left.

Augustine said, looking at Tang Li as she went away, “If only Miss Tang could join my laboratory.”

Doctor Xiang and Mr. Yun looked at each other but did not say anything.

Tang Li soon arrived at the door of the villa. Normally, Butler Zhang would stand by the door to wait for her, but she did not see him tonight.

Tang Li was still confused when she heard footsteps coming from behind. Tang Li turned around and saw Butler Zhang walking over from the old man’s villa. When he saw Tang Li, he quickly walked over and said to her, “Madam, Master is here, but he’s sitting on a nearby chair. He told me not to disturb you.”

Tang Li was surprised. “When did he arrive?”

“Half an hour ago.”

“Why is he here at this time?” Tang Li asked. Without waiting for Butler Zhang’s reply, she walked over.

Butler Zhang wanted to stop her but gave up eventually.

Although Master said that he wouldn’t disturb Madam, she just left the laboratory and found it out herself.

Tang Li soon saw Qi Yihan sitting there.

It was the middle of April and the wind was blowing. The man was wearing a suit and leaning against the chair, his eyes closed and his head slightly raised.

The light from the street lamps mixed with the moonlight shone on his extraordinarily handsome face. At this moment, he gave off an unapproachable feeling. His noble aura made him seem like a god.

Tang Li watched for a while before walking over.
