A week later.
The Qin family.
Qin He sat in the living room. Ming Yuzhu had been called to visit a neighbor by Aunt Xu.
Qin He, Qin Yun, Gu Qichen, Xu Wanwan, Xiao Liyan, Yan Chen, and the people from Qingyan Mansion gathered in the living room.
On the table were documents from the police and the military.
Before this operation, Gu Qichen had already sent people to secretly notify the military.
Organizations like Lev were a huge cancer in China. The military was determined to eradicate this international terrorist organization.
The actions of the four people had been under surveillance.
The special forces stationed near Shazhen had also been mobilized.
Qian Zimo sneered, "Shen Yizong has stayed in Italy for too long. That place is lawless. Did he really think he could get away with it after taking action?"
Xiao Liyan sat on the side with an unhappy expression. The usually gentle and smiling man was now cold.
Qin He cautiously glanced at him, "Brother Liyan, are you still angry?"
Qian Zimo shot Qin He a look, "He tricked everyone. We all thought we were going to find a strange stone based on a pattern. Only he, from the beginning, intended to set a trap and ensnare Shen Yizong."
Gu Qichen's expression was indifferent, "If I had told you in advance, while you wouldn't have leaked it, if your mindset had relaxed during the operation, it would have been troublesome if you had revealed anything."
Yan Chen was eating an apple, "Mm, but Liyan said he's opening another bar in the South City district, and the expenses will all come out of your account."
Gu Qichen smiled, "Alright."
On a chair nearby, Qi Zhen stood up and walked to Xiao Liyan.
"I heard it was you who shot Shen Yizong."
Xiao Liyan's expression softened from the coldness directed at Gu Qichen, returning to his usual refined demeanor.
"Yes."
"Thank you for avenging my brother! Although I couldn't get revenge myself, I am still grateful to you!" Qi Zhen said with great sincerity.
Upstairs, Di Shishi's angry shout was heard.
"I'm injured, and you didn't push me down to join the meeting, leaving me upstairs instead!"
She was sitting in an electric wheelchair, unable to descend the spiral staircase.
Qian Zimo smiled slyly, while Zuo Xiuxian, maintaining his usual annoying style, said, "If you have the guts, jump down. That will kill you with anger."
"Zuo Xiuxian! Wait until my injuries heal, and I will definitely chop off your head!"
Yu Jing went upstairs and directly carried the electric wheelchair, along with Di Shishi, down.
Qian Zimo stared in amazement, "Good heavens, I picked out this wheelchair. It weighs over a hundred catties, plus Shishi, that must be three hundred catties. What kind of strength is this?"
Yu Jing steadily placed her on the ground.
Di Shishi's face flushed slightly, "Okay."
With the major threat eliminated, Qin Yun also felt relieved and turned to look at Xu Wanwan, "Starting tomorrow, you can go wherever you want."
Xu Wanwan stroked her abdomen, "I'm not going out!"
Her small face was resolute. Her last outing had genuinely frightened her.
The house was lively, and Qin He's heart also warmed.
Before, because of Shen Yizong, she had been worried about her master, so much so that she had sent Lele to stay with the more secure Gu family.
She worried about her mother, and even about the Ming family in Haicheng.
Now that Shen Yizong was dead, all threats had vanished.
The heavy burden on her heart was gone, but—Yilin's only relative in this world was also gone.
The documents brought by the military were about the Lev organization, Shen Yizong, and the entire incident.
Both the Qin and Gu families were victims this time and had the right to know.
Everyone was now relaxed. Shen Ruiyi said, "Since the crisis is resolved, I'll go back to work at the funeral home tomorrow."
Qi Zhen said, "I'll also continue taking jobs."
Xiao Liyan returned to his bar, Yan Chen to his club, and Di Shishi remained at the Qin family to recover.
Everyone agreed on a time to gather and then dispersed.
Qin He tidied up the documents on the table.
As she was finishing, she noticed a page was missing.
Page thirty-nine was directly followed by page forty-one.
Qin He frowned slightly.
What was missing?
Never mind, Shen Yizong was dead, and she had no desire to know more details.
Outside the Qin family, Yu Jing was driving Gu Qichen back to the old mansion.
The car was quiet.
Gu Qichen looked at the front seat, "Di Shishi is the eldest daughter of the Fu family. Are you prepared?"
Yu Jing nodded, "I know, Mr. Gu."
Gu Qichen lowered his head, looking at the page in his hand.
"I plan to transfer the shares of the security company to you."
Yu Jing was slightly surprised, "Mr. Gu, you don't have to."
"The security company under Gu Corporation has always had poor development and is on the verge of collapse. However, for someone like you who was a mercenary abroad and has worked at Gu Corporation for so many years, you should know how to rectify it."
Gu Qichen looked out the car window, "I don't intend to give it to you directly. You can develop it yourself. Whether you succeed or not will depend entirely on your abilities."
Yu Jing's hand gripping the steering wheel tightened slightly, "Then what about you? Who will be by your side?"
Gu Qichen smiled, "There are quite a few people in Qingyan Mansion. I'll have Qian Zimo pick out a few capable ones. One might not be as good as you, but five should be enough, right?"
Yu Jing said nothing more. The man who always wore a smile had tears welling up in his eyes.
Gu Qichen sat in the back seat and looked at the blueprint in his hand again.
It recorded the weapon Shen Yizong had used at the time of the incident.
The weapon he had used to scare Qin He was a blank cartridge.
From the very beginning, Shen Yizong had no intention of harming Qin He. He was truly after her.
On the back of the paper was a small island in a tropical rainforest, printed in color, looking like a comic.
Gu Qichen crumpled the paper and casually threw it into a trash can by the roadside.
He couldn't let He'er see it, as he was worried it would burden her.
The Shen family, in the end, had everyone leave.
Qingcheng became quiet. After Di Shishi recovered somewhat, Qin He began to shuttle between the Qing Sui aromatherapy department of Gu Corporation daily.
As the engagement date approached day by day, the wealthy families of Qingcheng also clearly felt the dissipating clouds of gloom hanging over the city.
At least the Gu and Qin families were no longer jointly conducting a thorough search for something.
This made people feel much more at ease!
Only one person was miserable.
In the blink of an eye, autumn had arrived.
At the Fang family, Song Nuan and Zhang Caiyu sat at the same dining table, eating.
Fang Yaozu sat at the head of the table, looking with satisfaction at the swollen bellies of the two women.
"I never expected that in my middle age, I would have two women pregnant at the same time. Hahahaha."
Fang Yaozu had no children in the first half of his life, so he was very excited now.
In order to have heirs, he had been going out to find women or bringing women back to the Fang family during this period, and he hadn't touched Zhang Caiyu or Song Nuan.
Zhang Caiyu lowered her head, eating obediently.
Fang Yaozu nodded, "Regarding your Cai Fang brand, I recently invested another ten million yuan. You just focus on giving me a son, and once the child is born, I'll invest another hundred million yuan for you."
Zhang Caiyu squeezed her chopsticks. She wasn't just a machine for having children!
Fang Yaozu had no intention of taking responsibility; he only wanted the child in her womb.
She glanced at Song Nuan, met Song Nuan's suggestive look, and continued to eat obediently.
