Qi Zizhi would rationally analyse the information and determine that his younger brother’s allergic reaction was a coincidence. However, Qi Shuang wouldn’t see it that way because he had a guilty conscience. His eldest brother was unaware that he had foolishly driven to Diye last night to run over Wang Chuqiu. Qi Shuang hadn't forgotten. He clearly remembered the intense jealousy and madness he felt during that time.

When Qi Shuang woke up in the hospital, he pieced things together and was certain that Wang Chuqiu had planned it all. Wang Chuqiu must have somehow noticed the reason why he was lying in wait near Diye last night, and found out from somewhere that he was allergic to yellow peaches, and took the opportunity to retaliate while he was asleep in the middle of the night.

Wang Chuqiu was a person who hid his true abilities and what he usually showed people was all just an act. The fact that he knew things the public didn’t suggested that he had hidden cards up his sleeve.

Qi Shuang had decided to stay calm and bide his time.

But as soon as he saw Wang Chuqiu, he instinctively imagined the other person blowing air into his mouth. He felt nauseous and became muddleheaded so his opening remarks went off in an unexpected direction.

Later on, when he heard that name from Wang Chuqiu, he completely hadn’t expected that something unknown to his family would be discovered by an outsider. He experienced a major shock and completely lost control.

And completely let Wang Chuqiu control the pace.

Qi Shuang screamed as he struggled out of Jiao Bai's hold, frenziedly darting up and scratching at his face with his long nails.

Jiao Bai was prepared and effortlessly restrained Qi Shuang once again.

“You’re crazy!” Qi Shuang trembled uncontrollably. “You dared to slander me and even dragged Young Master Shen into this. I’m going to tell Mr. Shen. You’re screwed, Wang Chuqiu, you are done for!”

Jiao Bai said lightly, “Next time, don't sleep in the same bed as someone else. You babble on endlessly in your sleep.”

Qi Shuang's face, which was flushed with anger, drained of colour in an instant. He forced himself to stay calm and said, “Nonsense, I never talk in my sleep!”

The young master lowered his eyes, a ltqcdqntr intent emanating from him, seemingly plotting something.

Jiao Bai smiled at him and said, “I’ve recorded it and sent it to a trusted friend. If anything happens to me, that recording will end up in Shen Ji’s and the old lady’s hands.”

Qi Shuang's fingers, clenched into a fist, twitched. “Lies! I don’t believe you. If you have the guts, play it for me now!”

Jiao Bai only had a golden finger and no recording. He had no crap to play for him. He looked at Qi Shuang as if he were a pitiful creature. “I wonder if the note you stuffed through the gap of Young Master Shen's desk is still there. How about I find a time to check for you?”

Qi Shuang’s face turned white. He had really been talking in his sleep, even revealing that secret note…

The sunlight hit the glass window, turning into countless specks of light, freely observing the dead silence in the hospital room.

“What do you want to do...” Qi Shuang returned to his usual soft and harmless demeanour and murmured with red eyes, “Chuqiu, what do you want to do...”

Jiao Bai sidestepped the question, “Shen Ji didn't touch me last night.”

Qi Shuang's mouth formed an “O” shape. His thoughts were clearly written on his face.

Jiao Bai looked at the little young master’s foolish expression and silently thanked Qi Zizhi, the head of the family who unconditionally indulged his younger brother.

Next, Jiao Bai combined the original Wang Chuqiu's memories with his own observations to present to Qi Shuang the old kdbgdqntr side of Shen Ji.

“Shen Ji is very satisfied with Jiang Yan,” Jiao Bai said. “Maybe Qinxin Estate will have a new resident soon.”

Qi Shuang sat cross-legged and said dismissively, “The deal you are talking about is joining forces with me to deal with him? With Madam Shen around, we won’t even get a turn.”

The little young master had moments when he wasn’t stupid.

“If Jiang Yan sways him through pillow talk, won’t the situation change?” Jiao Bai sat down on the chair by the table. “Shen Ji has never touched us, but he touched him. That’s already a win, a win at the starting line.”

Qi Shuang wanted to say, Can you stop calling him Shen Ji? It sounds weird and makes me feel tense.

In the entire South City, very few dared to address Shen Ji directly by name.

Qi Shuang dug his nails into the blanket. Wang Chuqiu had changed. This was the real him.

He had released a tiger back to the mountain and that tiger even had leverage against him. Qi Shuang gripped the blanket tightly. If only he had managed to jhkk this guy last night. How did he have such good luck?

Even if it was Qi Yilao’s car, not the person himself, Qi Shuang still didn’t dare to touch it.

Jiao Bai didn’t seem to sense Qi Shuang’s gloomy aura and continued, “The deal I want to make with you is I’ll help you change the status quo and make you become the only future Mrs. Shen. Then you just need to...”

Qi Shuang interrupted before he could finish. His tone turned sharp and piercing, like an iron spoon scraping against glass, “You’re pulling out? That’s not something that we can decide!”

Jiao Bai remained silent as he recalled the plot. Qi Shuang saw himself as Shen Er’an’s saviour. He helped Shen Er’an seize power from Shen Ji, which implicated his eldest brother and second brother, and led to the death of his entire family. However, he himself didn’t die. He became a bqhookd, and someone who loved him for many years died to save him, leaving no intact remains.

Broken Wings didn’t just feature the main couple in a toxic scum-cheap relationship, the whole comic was essentially a bnmbdmsqzshnm bzlo of scum-cheap toxicity. This was also why Jiao Bai could still remember the plot. It was qzhmhmf dog blood.

Jiao Bai said meaningfully, “What if my fortune changes?”

Qi Shuang understood, yet felt as if he didn’t understand.

“Today is Madam Shen’s birthday. Unless something unexpected happens, she will tell Shen Ji to take me back to Qinxin Estate. You can hire someone so that on our way back...” Jiao Bai lowered his voice and said a few words.

Qi Shuang’s face was full of shock. “Are you crazy?!”

He met the young man's determined and calm gaze and his throat went dry. “You’re going to be on that same vehicle. Aren't you afraid...?”

Jiao Bai said, “You don't need to worry about that. Just make sure your people handle things properly.”

Qi Shuang swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, thinking, This person is insane. He’s lost his mind.

“Even if I do as you say and everything turns out just as you predict, Madam Shen won’t let you leave Qinxin Estate. She will only treat it as an accident.” Qi Shuang tried to calm his racing heart.

The sunlight was blazing. Jiao Bai zipped up his jacket and fastened his hat, hiding his face, which wouldn’t need makeup even if he were playing a vampire, in the shadows. “That’s just the appetizer. The real feast will come later.”

Qi Shuang had a sudden moment of enlightenment and asked “Are you referring to the Master[1]?”

“Stop dreaming.” His heartbeat slowed. Two years ago, when he found out there was another competitor, he had cried, made a scene, and even threatened to gzmf himself to make his older brothers seek out the Master. They attempted to force the Master into serving the Qi family, trying every possible means of intimidation and persuasion, but nothing worked.

“Send someone to look for this address.” Jiao Bai pulled out a slip of paper from the pocket of his thin jacket.
