Chapter 695
However, Qiao Shiqian had already arrived.
He still had that same look of little emotion, and when he came in, he stuck one hand in the pocket of his dark slacks, pulled a random chair and sat down in front of both Huo Si Xing and Leng Xu.
“Where have you been all this time?”
“Where have I been?”
When Huo Si Xing heard this, he immediately stared at him as if he had seen a ghost: “Funny, does it matter to you where I go? Do you care about me?”
Her attitude, as usual, did not take him into consideration at all.
Qiao Shiqian sat there, his fingers squeezing as he played with the teacup on the table next to him, and for a moment, he was about to snap.
Did he want to control her?
No, he didn’t want to. As someone who had never taken him seriously, in the past, his favourite course of action would have been to make her disappear from his presence immediately.
Out of sight, out of mind.
However, he couldn’t do that now.
“I heard that three days ago, a big event happened in the capital city’s God family, God Yu brought his people to exchange a kidnapped hostage, as a result, the hostage was not exchanged, instead, all his people died, do you know about this?”
He finally sank his gaze, a moment of gloom that actually made him look a little scalp-tingling.
As the words fell, both Huo Si Xing and Leng Xu, who were present, immediately revealed extremely shocked looks, especially Huo Si Xing, she was even more shocked and angry!
“Qiao Shiqian, you’re actually stalking me?”
“Do I need to stalk? I’m telling you Huo Si Xing, if it wasn’t for the fact that Duke Huo had explained that I must protect you, if it wasn’t for the fact that your surname is also …… I wouldn’t even want to care about you!”
This man finally snapped, and after he raised his hand and slammed that cup on the ground fiercely, he cursed angrily at this woman right on the spot.
Even, he had almost blurted out that sentence.
She was really incompetent!
Huo Si Xing finally froze.
Probably, she hadn’t expected this man to suddenly get so angry, knowing that this man, in front of her, could always wear a mask.
He was good at disguise, good at hiding.
Even when she was humiliating him and cursing him, he would always look as calm and expressionless as ever.
So, he could be angry too.
She suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and she blurted out, “How dare you mention my brother? I’m telling you, if it weren’t for you and your mother, he would be in this state? He’s now inhuman and ghostly, he’s about to be killed by the God Family gang, how dare you mention him?!”
“……”
With just one sentence, this man, who was originally furious, could no longer speak as if he had been nudged at a mute point.
Huo Sijiu was still alive?
No, he was definitely alive, the news he had received earlier was that he was unconscious at Shen Zong Yu.
So now, was he awake? Still human and ghostly?
In just a few seconds, countless question marks crossed the man’s mind, just like shocking waves, making his heart, which was not even rippling, no longer calm.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“Don’t worry, he’s not dead yet, he’s fine!!!” Huo Si Xing became angry at the sight of him, and couldn’t help but speak in anger again.
Luckily, at this time Lengxu was beside him, and after thinking about it, he still gave the truth to the man who, for the moment, posed no threat to the president either, and might even be able to help him.
“He woke up, just as Missy went over to the capital, but he’s in a bit of a bad way, having a fit and putting the daughter who killed God Kai, and God Feng’s son, already under house arrest by God Zongou.
”
“What?”
Qiao Shiqian listened, and sure enough, he was dumbfounded on the spot!
Of course he knew about Huo Sijiu’s illness.
Otherwise, back at the Imperial Mansion, he wouldn’t have deliberately created some ma*sacre to lure – lure him into an attack, with the aim, too, of making him truly ill and letting everyone know that he was a psychopath.
And then destroy him.
However, he did not expect that he had not succeeded at first at the Empire State Building.
Now, in the capital, he had “transformed” himself.
“What’s the reason?”
“What did the Second Young Master say? The reason for the president’s illness?” Leng Xu suddenly seemed to understand, and then, his whole face was covered with a thick layer of sadness.
“Is this question still not clear to the Second Young Master? Of course it was Madam’s death, at that time, he watched her let go of his hand and fall, she gave up her life for him to live, and that became the last straw that crushed his life.
He survived, but, she died, so what intention could he have but revenge?”
“……”
Once more, the house lost its sound.
It was as if a layer of gloom had steeply enveloped this house, and after this thick as inaccessible ink grief filled the air, everyone did not want to speak.
They were silent, grieving, and their hearts were like ants gnawing at them.
Even breathing was painful.
Qiao Shiqian did not want to admit that he was not as happy as he thought he would be at this moment.
It was so heavy that he couldn’t catch his breath.
Chapter 696
“So, sir, what are we going to do next? Are you going to save him?”
After coming out of the old mansion, Qiao Shiqian got into the car and the a*sistant who was sitting in front driving him asked.
Qiao Shiqian’s eyes were closed in the back.
He save?
How could he save?
When that man himself was sober, he still didn’t dare to take Huo’s to fight with this royal family in the capital, so who was he, Qiao Shiqian, to dare to take it to save others?
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
”
“Yes, sir.
”
The car then quickly disappeared into the area.
That night, Qiao Shiqian flew to country r-
Xijing in country r.
In fact, after Qiao Shiqian took the helm of Huo’s, and after Yang Yao also pa*sed away due to a sudden illness in prison, this company, now, had nothing to do with him anymore.
It was back in the hands of the Hegang family.
However, since Qiao Shiqian had been running the place for so long, the industry must still be there, and, no less.
“Sir, you are back.
”
“Hmm.
”
When he arrived at his bar in Tokyo, the barman, who had already received the news, greeted him respectfully and brought him his brand new wooden clogs.
He then took off his jacket and handed it to her, then changed into the clogs.
“Has Mr. Doomoto come over yet?”
“It’s an appointment and he’s on his way over.
”
The shop a*sistant replied gently, bringing him the sake that had been warmed.
A few minutes later, a man from R, wearing gla*ses and smelling of disinfectant, did appear in a hurry, and as soon as he arrived he called out.
“Akiko, Akiko? Has your husband come back?”
“Back.
”
The female shop a*sistant from earlier immediately came out again, greeting the man with a smile.
It turned out that this female shop a*sistant, was none other than Akiko Nakajima who had returned to her home country.
It was then that Shigeki Doomoto hurried in.
“Akiyama-kun, you’re finally here, it’s so hard, I finally waited for you.
“A bit unexpectedly, this r country man was actually crying with excitement after seeing Qiao Shiqian.
Qiao Shiqian could only sit there on his knees and smile, then, picking up the wine jug next to him, he poured him a gla*s of wine.
“Was Xiangmu-kun looking forward to my coming so much? Is there some good news waiting for me?”
“What good news, surely it’s not good news if I’m waiting for you!”
The R man complained bluntly as soon as he heard that, after pouring that gla*s of wine down his throat in one gulp.
At the end of his sentence, Qiao Shiqian, who was sitting across from him, lost all interest in pouring him a gla*s of wine after his knuckles turned white with a steep clenching under the table.
“What do you mean, Xiangmu-kun? You are the best surgeon in r country, I have waited for you for so long, I came, not to wait for you to tell me such bad news.
”
In a second, his voice went colder by more than a degree.
When Doomoto Shongi, who was drinking, heard this, he reacted, and at once, he panicked.
“No no, Akiyama-kun misunderstood, the bad news I was talking about was the last time you asked me to wake her up as soon as possible and I didn’t do it ah, nothing else, her bones are healing just fine and the damage to her internal organs is being repaired.
”
“Then why hasn’t she woken up yet?”
“Akiyama-kun, you’ve sent someone to me who’s fallen like a meatloaf, wouldn’t it take a certain amount of time for me to make her alive again? Did you know that just to repair the organs in her body that were pierced by broken bones? I had to operate a dozen times? There must be a time to reinstall the system when your computer is infected with a virus, right?”
The R man was really nagging, and once he was asked about this, he complained so much that the whole table was covered in his spittle.
However, there was no denying that he did have a point.
It takes time for a computer to be reinstalled.
Not to mention the fact that it was a man who had suffered a full body crushing fracture, coupled with severe organ damage.
Qiao Shiqian eventually said nothing more.
After finishing his drink, he invited this friend for another meal before the two of them set off together to the best general hospital in the area, and the top of the medical standard.
There was a woman lying quietly in the care unit.
Her whole body was covered in tubes, her mouth was on a ventilator, and her face was covered in bandages.
If it weren’t for the exposed eyes, two rows of long, thick, curly eyelashes like small fans could be seen at a glance over the quietly closed curtains.
A patient wrapped up tightly like this could not be seen as a woman at all.
“The recovery is actually still good, at least, not immediately dead when the ventilator is taken off.
”
After Doomoto Shougi brought him in, he saw that he hadn’t taken his eyes off this patient the whole time, and thought he was worried that he was lying to him again, so he made a point to explain.
The knot in Qiao Shiqian’s throat twitched as he listened.
He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t make a sound, instead his gaze slowly crossed over this female patient’s face before landing on her hand that was resting quietly next to her.
Presumably, this was the only organ she had that was not injured.
It was also the one he had been entrusted with at the time by that man to stop her and protect her, and in the end he had done everything he could to get it!
