Sun Ruofan timidly peered through the doorway.
“Ruofan, it’s me,” Qi Zhonglu couldn’t help but smile upon seeing his daughter.
After being away for so long, having experienced so many life and death situations.
It was only in seeing his daughter that his heart would soften.
“Daddy!” Sun Ruofan ran over quickly, grabbing Qi Zhonglu’s arm in excitement.
Qi Zhonglu affectionately stroked the little girl’s hair.
The father and daughter hadn’t seen each other for a while. Sun Ruofan seemed to have endless things to talk about whereas Qi Zhonglu listened quietly, even personally cooking a meal in the kitchen borrowed from the Jiang family.
“How are things between you and Pei Jinye?”
Sun Ruofan’s mouth hung open, unsure of how to respond, “How are things what?”
Qi Zhonglu realized he misspoke and quickly changed the subject, “If I remember correctly, he’s not attending school anymore, right? I was thinking if he could tutor you–there are only two months left until the high school exams, right?”
Sun Ruofan didn’t think much of it and nodded, “The exams are on June 6th, just over a month away. As for Pei Jinye, he indeed seems not to be coming to school anymore. I heard from someone that he was recommended for admission.”
“Recommended for admission?” Qi Zhonglu was startled but then remembered that Pei Jinye had achieved Extraordinary Third Rank before even coming of age, so it was indeed normal for him to be recommended.
“Is it Dragon City martial arts university?”
“It seems so. The school didn’t say,” Sun Ruofan was unsure.
“With his strength, going to Dragon City martial arts university would surely be the standard,” Qi Zhonglu lamented, “I really misjudged him back then.”
Sun Ruofan, however, wasn’t interested in the ins and outs of the matter, “He really works hard. Back at the Bronze Association, it was just…”
“Ruofan, let’s not mention the Bronze Association anymore,” Qi Zhonglu warned her.
If Teacher Chang hadn’t done those things, the Bronze Association could have become a trademark.
But unfortunately…
One mistake leads to another.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be best not to include the words “Bronze Association” in her own daughter’s resume.
“Daddy, will you no longer be going away? Can we stay in Da Peng City for now?”
Facing her gaze.
Qi Zhonglu fell silent for a while.
He wished it were so.
But…
He didn’t know if Old Master Jiang could really do it.
“Soon, believe in daddy.”
Watching his daughter eat, Qi Zhonglu took out his phone, hesitated for a moment, then strangely began searching for the keyword: Mingchong City.
He searched for a while.
There was nothing unusual in the news reports.
All the major forums were also normal.
“Daddy, have some, too.” Sun Ruofan placed a chicken drumstick in Qi Zhonglu’s bowl.
Qi Zhonglu was about to say something, but suddenly, his expression paused, he attentively went back to the previous post and looked again.
Title: [Disaster struck! Massive explosion at Red Bee Seventh Research Institute, even the Federation is silent!]
Red Bee Seventh Research Institute?
Isn’t that property of Red Bee?
An explosion occurred?
At that moment, Qi Zhonglu’s mind raced with many thoughts.
He clicked to view the post.
1L: [So it was the Seventh Research Institute that exploded… I thought it was something else; the sound was enormous.]
2L: [What happened? The glass in my house shattered…]
3L: [I saw blood… so much blood…] (This post has been deleted by the forum administrator)
4L: [Holy shit, where’s the person from the third floor? What did you see?]
5L: [Stop talking and run away overnight.]
6L: [No escape now. I just left the house and got stopped by the people from the Night Patrol, damn it, they’re all fully armed, has Mingchong City been invaded by a Rebel Army?] (This post has been deleted by the forum administrator)
Qi Zhonglu’s heart skipped a beat.
Could the Jiang family be entangled with some Rebels?
He quickly refreshed the post.
12L: [Don’t worry, it’s said to be just a gang fight. Red Bee provoked an organization from outside the city. (Scene photo)]
Qi Zhonglu, worried the pictures would be removed by the admin, looked at them immediately.
A large number of fully-armed Federation soldiers had already surrounded the Seventh Research Institute.
There were also many drones carrying missiles in the sky.
“Could it be Jiang’s people?”
“Maybe… just a coincidence?”
Just then.
Jiang Qingcang’s call came through: “The video has been sent to your email.”
Qi Zhonglu stepped away from his daughter, clicked play on mute.
In the video, Bee King Liu Mingde, with a bloodied face, hung his head down as someone grabbed his hair and pulled it up to face the camera.
Despite the sound being turned off, Qi Zhonglu could read lips.
Liu Mingde’s face was no longer human-like, amidst the blurred blood and flesh, he looked hideously demonic.
[Qi Zhonglu, what I regret most is not having killed you… Ah!]
After speaking, he suddenly rushed forward.
But in the video, a person in a mysterious trench coat firmly clamped down on his neck from behind.
The video stopped abruptly.
Qi Zhonglu’s expression gradually became baffled.
He had to admit.
He had harbored some doubts about Elder Jiang, but now those doubts had vanished.
He even felt ashamed.
He had actually doubted Elder Jiang.
A grave mistake.
He lowered his head and looked back at the phone screen.
…
Mingchong City had undergone a complete lockdown.
However, even when the Night Patrol Joint Military Department and the Investigation Team conducted a thorough search, they found nothing at all.
Night Patrol Headquarters.
The head of the department had a dark expression on his face.
“The explosion occurred, and we immediately sealed off the entire city, but we found nothing? Could the person have actually burrowed into the ground?”
The table was slapped hard, emitting a loud noise.
The entire operations meeting room was silent, except for the angry roars from the boss.
…
Jiang’s Family Back Mountain.
After Qi Zhonglu and his daughter finished their meal, they chatted for a while.
“Are you still living at Pei Jinye’s house?”
“Yes,” Sun Ruofan hurriedly explained, “but he never comes back to stay, and he’s very busy, living over at his parents’ place.”
Qi Zhonglu nodded.
Sun Ruofan changed the subject and said, “Dad, are you really going to live in Da Peng City from now on?”
“Not necessarily in Da Peng City, but I won’t need to travel too far in the future,” Qi Zhonglu said affectionately to Sun Ruofan. “You’re grown up now, and in just over a month, you’ll have exams. Have you thought about which university you want to attend?”
“I want to stay in Central State,” Sun Ruofan said seriously.
Qi Zhonglu was taken aback.
He had been considering whether to ask Old Master Jiang to use his connections in Central State to recommend his daughter to one of the other region’s prestigious universities.
However, seeing his daughter’s mind was made up,
he nodded: “In Central State, it’s close to home.”
Sun Ruofan looked down, wringing her small hands.
She was just thinking that this way, she could often visit Pei Jinye’s parents.
Just then,
Zhong Xuan lightly knocked on the door, saying the old master wanted to see him.
Qi Zhonglu’s expression shifted, and he gestured to Sun Ruofan: “Wait here for me for a bit.”
“Okay, Dad.”
Sun Ruofan waited until the door closed, then stood up to start clearing the table.
…
“Elder Jiang,” Qi Zhonglu pushed open the door and saw “Jiang Qingcang,” his gaze naturally drawn to several large boxes on the ground to one side.
Especially the Red Bee logo on the boxes made his pupils shrink involuntarily.
“You provided the intelligence; this is what they managed to collect. There are medicinal herbs and three Sealing Objects. I’ll allow you to choose one-third,” said Pei Jinye calmly from his seat.
All of Red Bee’s data had been received by him, and he did not intend to hand it over to Qi Zhonglu.
This biological experiment information didn’t need to be shared with others.
Qi Zhonglu was not the right person for it.
Giving it to him would just cause him to overthink.
The goods before him were sufficient.
Pei Jinye’s willingness to offer one-third also sufficiently demonstrated his goodwill.
Qi Zhonglu approached and, with a sigh, said, “Red Bee hunted me for three years. I thought hiding here they wouldn’t find me… but Elder Jiang, you truly gave people a big surprise.”
Pei Jinye’s gaze remained calm.
Qi Zhonglu looked at the items in the box, picked a jade pendant-type Sealing Object, and selected a sword.
Then, looking at Pei Jinye, he said, “I’ll just take these. Although I provided the intelligence, it was Elder Jiang who took action, and I wouldn’t feel right taking more.”
Seeing that he knew his place, Pei Jinye nodded and said, “Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t say much. Regarding our cooperation going forward, I hope you won’t feel any burden. Concentrate on your work. I will arrange for someone to take full responsibility for you and your daughter’s safety.”
“Then I’m in your debt, Elder Jiang.”
Qi Zhonglu thanked him.
The two discussed the details of the cooperation extensively.
Qi Zhonglu insisted on bringing Pei Jinye into the fold and even called Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye stated he was very tired.
No choice, since the performance had already begun, he had to swallow it and continue.
He activated his avatar to join the meeting.
“Jiang Qingcang” claimed 51% of the shares, Qi Zhonglu claimed 45%, and Pei Jinye held the remaining 5% in the name of Father Pei Pei Donglai.
According to Pei Jinye,
No reward without service.
He didn’t need much; a token amount was enough.
Besides, he really wasn’t comfortable taking advantage of Qi Zhonglu.
The new company’s direction would be forging.
Managed by Qi Zhonglu.
Jiang Qingcang would handle security.
The Jiang family’s lawyer would personally draft the establishment of the company, with Qi Zhonglu reviewing it.
Once the details were confirmed,
Qi Zhonglu and Pei Jinye left Jiang Qingcang’s study together.
Bowing to oneself was somewhat comical, but Pei Jinye played the part convincingly, so much so that even with Qi Zhonglu right beside him, he didn’t notice anything off.
“Little Pei,” Qi Zhonglu suddenly called out to Pei Jinye.
“What is it, Uncle Qi?” Pei Jinye looked over unperturbed.
If he, for a moment, absent-mindedly replied with what is it, little Qi, Qi Zhonglu would have been stumped.
“Take this sword,” Qi Zhonglu handed the sword he had just chosen to Pei Jinye, “I heard you were recommended for admission. It’s rare to meet like this, so consider this sword a gift for the occasion.”
Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised.
He knew the origin of the sword the best.
So he hadn’t expected Qi Zhonglu to specifically ask for this sword “for himself”, not to gift to his daughter, but to give to himself.

“Uncle Qi, this sword is too valuable,” Pei Jinye declined.
However, Qi Zhonglu insisted on giving it to him: “Don’t be polite with your uncle. Take it, it’s not much. Do you have plans tonight? How about going out for dinner?”
“Sure.”
“I’ll call Ruofan. It’s a coincidence, but she’s here too.”
“…”
