Ch35 - Back

Ji Qinghuai had hitched a ride with Qin Lang earlier and Qin Lang also picked him up when he was going back. The two of them had nothing to do these past two days, so they didn’t plan to stay in the city and drove home directly.

Ji Qinghuai leaned back in his seat and yawned under the sunlight. He had woken up early for the past two days and went to bed late so now that his stomach was satisfied, he wanted to return home and sleep.

Looking at Ji Qinghuai, Qin Lang also felt drowsy, and while driving, he asked, “Why do you look so spiritless after returning from the shooting?”

“I don’t know.” Ji Qinghuai looked lethargic, “I’ve been like this all this time. I want to sleep when I have nothing to do and I always feel sluggish.”

Qin Lang was a little worried when he heard this, “Do you feel uncomfortable?”

It wasn’t that Qin Lang was making a fuss, but that he was afraid of something else.

Ji Qinghuai was a demon and not an ordinary person. Although filming in the crew under the heat was hard, it wasn’t enough to exhaust Ji Qinghuai like this.

“I’m fine.” Ji Qinghuai thought for a while, “It’s probably the effect of the cold attacks I suffered last time, my body is temporarily weakened.”

Thinking about it carefully, the feeling of drowsiness only began when he had been picked up by Xie Yan. Although it had been two months since the cold poison in his body had flared up, he always slept for a long time every time it acted up, causing him to think that it was an aftereffect of the cold poison.

Qin Lang turned the steering wheel to the right and the car turned out of the intersection, gradually moving away from the city. “Did Dr Xu say when he would detoxify you?”

“He said he would do it as soon as possible,” Ji Qinghuai replied. “He arrested that doctor who sold me the fake medicine, there will probably be a large-scale investigation so he will be busy for a while.”

Ji Qinghuai felt that his luck was also quite bad. There were other pharmacies nearby, but he just had to choose that problematic one to buy medicine. What’s more unfortunate was that there was a medicinal ingredient that mixed with the rat poison and formed the cold poison.

Rat poison couldn’t kill him, but cold poison could.

“It’s a good thing I was able to find the cause before I lost my life.”

According to Ji Qinghuai’s temper, he would pluck definitely out the feathers from Xiang Yunfei’s parrot form. Xiang Yunfei had caused him to suffer several times. But thinking of what happened yesterday, Ji Qinghuai was no longer resentful, only frightened.

Up till now, he hadn’t been able to figure out what was wrong with him. Although he felt a little irritable, he never hurt people, let alone the thought of killing people. But yesterday, he almost killed Xiang Yunfei.

It was as if there was some kind of force quietly guiding him to do things he didn’t dare to do normally.

Qin Lang didn’t know that something like this had happened and he looked forward without any expression on his face.

“Did Dr Xu say how he will be punished?”

“He will probably be fined and jailed for a few days,” said Ji Qinghuai. “Dr Xu said that although he sold counterfeit drugs, his shop was small and didn’t affect too many people, so his sentence isn’t that heavy.”

Ji Qinghuai was not in the mood to think about what had happened yesterday. His action yesterday had been enough to scare him so it could be considered as a lesson and he would also be sentenced after a few days.

Afraid that Qin Lang might go looking for him privately, he said, “That’s it. I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”

Qin Lang glanced at Ji Qinghuai.

Ji Qinghuai seemed to be worried, but not energetic. His current appearance was really rare.

Qin Lang calmly answered, “Okay.”

Turning his face, a chill flashed in his eyes.

The topic ended here and the two brothers didn’t speak anymore. The car was quiet, and Ji Qinghuai closed his eyes and fell asleep along the way.

When he returned home, the first thing he did was to make up for his sleep. Just like this, the day passed and when he opened his eyes, it was dark. He had also missed dinner.

Ji Qinghuai washed his face and felt much more refreshed. He went downstairs wearing slippers and saw the other three members of the family sitting in the living room and watching TV.

Seeing Ji Qinghuai, Ji Xianzhi turned to Qin Xiaorou and said, “Look, the pig has gotten up.”

Ji Qinghuai: “…”

Qin Xiaorou couldn’t help laughing, and asked gently, “Qingqing, do you want to have dinner?”

Ji Qinghuai nodded.

“I left some food for you in the thermal box, go and eat.”

Ji Qinghuai walked to the dinner table in silence, not paying attention to his old father.

The TV in the living room was playing a costume drama, and it was currently playing the scene where the male and female protagonists were exchanging love tokens with one another. When he saw this scene, Qin Lang was slightly stunned. He suddenly remembered something and went upstairs.

Qin Lang walked into the study, headed straight to the desk, and opened the drawer, taking out a notepad.

This notebook was Ji Xianzhi’s. The thick diary had no blank pages and was full of writing. It recorded some of Ji Xianzhi’s past experiences.

Qin Lang had once read the contents of the book. He remembered one thing just now but didn’t know if he had remembered it wrong, so he wanted to make sure.

He didn’t remember exactly which page he was looking for, so he could only search page by page from the beginning. His slender fingers slowly flipped through the pages and after flipping through most of the pages, Qin Lang finally found what he was looking for.

Qin Lang stared at the painting on the paper closely and confirmed his guess.

He picked up the notebook and went back to his room.

Ten minutes later, Ji Qinghuai returned to Qin Lang’s room after dinner and found Qin Lang staring at Ji Xianzhi’s notebook. Curious, Ji Qinghuai leaned in and asked, “Didn’t you read it already?”

Ji Qinghuai hadn’t liked to read books since he was a child. Even though this notebook recorded real events, Ji Qinghuai felt that these events were too violent and he didn’t like that feeling. So after reading half of it, he never touched it.

Qin Lang turned the page and then handed the notebook to Ji Qinghuai.

Ji Qinghuai didn’t understand but he fixed his eyes on the contents of the page Qin Lang flipped to. Seeing what was on it, he was stunned.

He first saw a hand-drawn picture by Ji Xianzhi taking up a quarter of the page. The illustration was of a bell.

The bell wasn’t coloured and despite there being only black and grey, the patterns and details were drawn very well, resembling the real thing.

“This is…”

Isn’t this the bell he brought out from Xie Yan’s house?

Ji Qinghuai put the notepad aside and walked back to his room. He brought out the box containing the silver bell and walked back. He took out the bell inside and compared it with Ji Xianzhi’s painting repeatedly, checking it several times to make sure it was exactly the same.

Ji Qinghuai picked up the notebook again and read the text below it that read:

On the day of Shen Gongzi's adulthood, the God of war gifted him a hand-crafted spiritual weapon for self-defence…

Ji Qinghuai didn’t read the next few sentences, his eyes glued to the words, “God of War”. It was a long time before he returned to his senses.

“Overlord of Kyushu, God of War Shen Xie…” Ji Qinghuai whispered.

No wonder that time he swatted it with his claw, there was not even a scratch. It turned out to be a spiritual weapon.

But how could the bell be here?

If Xie Yan knew the origins of the bell, he would certainly not have given it to him so casually, but if he didn’t know, how did the bell fall into his hands?

Qin Lang also had many doubts in his mind.

Ji Qinghuai told him that this bell was a gift from a friend. What was the origin of this friend and why did he have the bell?

Most importantly, why did he give the bell to Ji Qinghuai?

Qin Lang frowned, this was not a good thing.

“This bell, who gave it to you?”

Ji Qinghuai saw Qin Lang’s serious face and knew the gravity of the matter, he hesitated for a moment before saying, “His name… is Xie Yan. ”

Qin Lang: “!!!”

Who???

Qin Lang, who had a serious face, was stunned for a moment before he realized something.

Ji Qinghuai went to Xie Yan’s house today!

No, this wasn’t the point.

Qin Lang questioned, “So during the time you disappeared, you were actually at Xie Yan’s house?”

“Yes.” Ji Qinghuai said, ” If it weren’t for him, I might have died in a corner somewhere.”

After that, he hurriedly said, ” He’s my saviour and has saved me more than once, don’t make things difficult for him.”

When Qin Lang saw Ji Qinghuai’s attitude, he suddenly had a bad feeling, “You said that you fell in love with someone, is this person Xie Yan?”

“Yes.” Ji Qinghuai generously admitted and threatened Qin Lang, “If you dare to bully him, I’ll beat you up.”

Qin Lang: “…”

“Am I bullying him?” Qin Lang didn’t know whether to be angry or to laugh, “I dare not.”

Ji Qinghuai was a little puzzled, ” Why don’t you dare? He’s a little monster, it’s easy for you to bully him.”

Qin Lang shook his head helplessly.

It seems that Ji Qinghuai knew nothing about Xie Yan.

He didn’t want to joke around with Ji Qinghuai and said bluntly, “Brother, stay away from Xie Yan in the future.”

Ji Qinghuai was startled.

“If there is nothing wrong, stay away from him.” This was also what Su Yuhe had said to Ji Qinghuai when he left the crew.

At that time, Ji Qinghuai didn’t understand what this sentence meant, so he didn’t care, but today Qin Lang also asked him to stay away from Xie Yan. Why?

“You know him too?”

“He’s not just an acquaintance,” Qin Lang said. “Xie Yan is my superior. I don’t know his specific background, but he’s very dangerous. He has always been cruel and ruthless.”

Qin Lang was afraid that Ji Qinghuai would not realize the significance of this matter, so he gave him an example.

“Two months ago, someone in the management was partial and sheltered a relative. The dismissal and investigation were handled according to regulations and they weren't sentenced to death but they weren't even allowed to take a step out of the conference room.”

Qin Lang said again, “Xie Yan’s methods are very similar to the God of War of that era, but we must have a great God in management, otherwise the management will become laxer and laxer in the long run.”

Qin Lang sighed softly and advised, “Brother, Xie Yan is very good and strong, but he is too dangerous for you. Let’s stop here while you still have time.”

Ji Qinghuai looked down upon hearing this.

Is he dangerous?

He didn’t think so, Xie Yan did act a bit ruthlessly and he knew this when he had been picked up, but Xie Yan had never hurt him. Except for the few times they met later on where his attitude was slightly cold, the two of them got along quite well at other times…

Ji Qinghuai was lost in thought.

His love hadn’t even started yet, but he should give up?

He glanced at the box holding the silver and reached out for the lid.

No matter what your background is, I’ve already started chasing you, so it’s a shame to run away now.

I’ll succeed.
