Qi Yuanshan suspected that he had just heard a hallucination.
His lips trembled: "You...what did you just say?"
Qi Jinzhi managed to see the shocked expression on Qi Yuanshan's face.
He didn't repeat it, just added: "I won't eat at home tonight." Then he went out.
Seeing this, Qi Yuanshan chased after him and shouted: "Where are you going, bastard?"
Qi Jinzhi didn't look back: "Go find a man."
Qi Yuanshan lost his composure at this time.
Pei Ying happened to pass by the door of his study at this time. Hearing the conversation between the two, a rare smile appeared on her lips: "Qi Yuanshan, you have calculated so many things, but did you know that this illegitimate child has such a hobby?"
The mockery in his eyes was very strong.
Qi Yuanshan finally couldn't help it and growled at Pei Ying: "You can't say less!"
Pei Ying wasn't angry either.
She hummed a Huangmei opera she hadn't sung for a long time, twisted her waist and returned to the room.
Ever since her son died, she has never been as happy as she is today.
Qi Yuanshan had no time to pay attention to her and quickly dialed the phone: "Check for me what special things that bastard has done during this time."
The call was returned shortly.
Listening to the report on Qi Jinzhi's whereabouts on the phone, Qi Yuanshan was already panicking, especially when he heard his subordinates say: "Young Master Qi is heading to Shen's house now."
He slumped down on the chair, his old face gloomy.
Qi Yuanshan recalled Qi Jinzhi's previous investigation in Yangcheng: he was not close to women and hated women...
Qi Jinzhi said before that it’s okay to be married, but did he actually mean a man?
So, Shen Yizhou is the married... man?
So he tried every means to get Shen Yizhou's wife to deliver food, and even risked his own life to save her that day, just to gain favor in front of Shen Yizhou, and then drive a wedge between the couple so that Shen Yizhou could fall in love with him?
Shen Yizhou is very handsome and has outstanding abilities, which makes him wish he could have a daughter to marry him, but the key is, both of them are fucking men!
Qi Yuanshan felt that he had encountered the biggest problem in his life, which was even more difficult than an undefeatable city and fortress.
The person on the other end of the phone was still waiting for his instructions: "Qiu ji, Qi qi?"
Qi Yuanshan felt confused and waved his hand irritably: "Just keep an eye on it for now."
Until he finds a good countermeasure, he can only stand still.
After hanging up the phone, he sank into his chair in defeat and didn't move for a long time.
He recalled the time when he secretly met Zhou Mo, but she had become a wasted flower huddled in a musty alley that never saw the light of day.
After he refused her request to leave with him, she became crazy, threw away the money he gave, and cursed him: "Qi Yuanshan, I curse you to die a bad death and to have no descendants!"
Her hatred for him led her to curse her own son.
The eldest son died heroically, and the younger son who was finally brought back had a broken sleeve. Is this God punishing him by leaving him with no heir to his family?

Xia Qingyuan and Aunt Wu were in the kitchen preparing dinner when they heard a knock on the door.
Aunt Wu washed her hands: "I'll open the door."
After a while, Aunt Wu's surprised voice came: "Mr. Xiao Qi?"
Xia Qingyuan was startled and quickly left the kitchen.
I saw Qi Jinzhi standing at the entrance, holding some gifts in his hand, talking to Aunt Wu in a low voice.
The brows and eyes lost the usual carelessness, and became rarer and gentler.
Seeing Xia Qingyuan come out, she raised the things in her hands and said, "Mrs. Shen, there is no one at home tonight, do you mind coming over for a meal?"
Xia Qingyuan did not forget that she asked him to come to her house for dinner when he was free that day at the hospital.
Her words were not false, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
She was stunned for only a moment, then smiled and said: "How come, please come in."
Shen Yilin heard the noise outside and came out of the room. When he saw it was Qi Jinzhi, his eyes lit up.
Ever since Qi Jinzhi protected them that day, he has become the only hero he admires after Shen Yizhou!
Xia Qingyuan also told him that Qi Jinzhi was a policeman.
After Shen Yilin heard this, he admired Qi Jinzhi even more.
You know, it is the dream of most of their boys to become a policeman who can own a pistol and catch bad guys.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and called out: "Brother Qi."
There is nothing wrong with using this seniority title.
When Qi Jinzhi saw Shen Yilin, he remembered that he was the little brat that day, and curled his lips at him: "Little brat."
Shen Yilin, who was full of chicken blood, felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head.
The big hero calls him a little brat...
Looking at Shen Yilin's deflated lips, Xia Qingyuan couldn't help but smile.
She patted him: "Okay, brother Qi is teasing you."
Asking a former boss like Qi Jinzhi to say nice words to coax a child would be impossible even if the sun comes out in the west.
After listening to Xia Qingyuan's words, Shen Yilin's face finally showed a smile again.
He walked over timidly and sat on the sofa next to Qi Jinzhi.
Seeing that he didn't have any unpleasant reaction, he plucked up the courage to get a little closer to him. He moved until he sat next to Qi Jinzhi as he wished, and then finally stopped.
To be honest, Qi Jinzhi had no experience in dealing with children, so his body became stiff in a rare way.
He has grown up this long, and this is the first time a child has shown such pure affection for him. He is afraid that he will accidentally make the little kid cry.
Fortunately, Shen Yilin behaved very well in front of Qi Jinzhi, even trying to please him. He only asked some daily work questions, and he answered them easily.
Xia Qingyuan chatted with her for a while, then said: "You sit down for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner."
He winked at Shen Yilin again and signaled him to greet the guests.
Lin Dongxiu, after saying hello to Qi Jinzhi, went into the kitchen to help with an embarrassed look.
The dinner originally consisted of scallion chicken, braised pork and fried mushrooms, but now that Qi Jinzhi is here, he must add two more dishes.
She asked Aunt Wu to kill the two crucian carp kept in the water tank and make crucian carp tofu soup, which was very helpful for Qi Jinzhi's recovery after the surgery.
After thinking about it, Xia Qingyuan made another steamed egg with minced meat, marinated the beef slices left over from the morning, and made a stir-fried yellow beef.
She went to the yard again and picked a handful of leeks grown by Lin Dongxiu. The last dish was scrambled eggs with leeks.
Lin Dongxiu and Aunt Wu were helping in the kitchen, and some dishes had been cooked before, so the rest of the dishes were ready in a short time.
Shen Yizhou called back earlier and said he would be back later so that he wouldn't have to wait for his meal.
Xia Qingyuan picked up a clean bowl and left some vegetables for him.
Xia Qingyuan said: "Let's eat first, Yi Zhou will come back later."
Qi Jinzhi was not polite, said thank you, picked up the chopsticks and started eating, and said a few words to Shen Yilin from time to time.
Lin Dongxiu originally looked at his stern eyebrows and was worried that he was someone difficult to get along with, but she didn't expect that he was also gentle and polite in private, especially since he was the savior of Shen Yilin and Xia Qingyuan. As the atmosphere at the dinner table became increasingly lively, She also became bolder.
He said "Xiao Qi" in every mouthful and filled the bowl for him.
The chopsticks she used were of course serving chopsticks, which Xia Qingyuan had taught her.
When Qi Jinzhi faced the enthusiastic Lin Dongxiu, the smart Shen Yilin, and Xia Qingyuan who was sitting aside and watching them with a smile, Qi Jinzhi felt sour in her heart that she had never felt before.
Such a big family sitting together to eat together is a feeling he has never experienced in his life of more than 20 years but has always hoped for.
If he completely buries the past and becomes a good person from now on, will he be qualified to be close to warmth?

When Shen Yizhou came back, they had already finished half of their meal.
Just as he walked to the door, he heard voices talking inside the room, including a somewhat familiar male voice. Shen Yizhou frowned lightly and walked in quickly.
Unexpectedly, he saw Qi Jinzhi sitting at the dining table at his home, talking and laughing with his wife and mother.
Shen Yizhou touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue, and a smile appeared on his lips, which was meaningful.
