Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha sat in the back of the car with Qi Weier in the middle.

The atmosphere in the car was tense. The chauffeur driving in front barely uttered a word. He dared not say too much as he could clearly sense that something was off.

Qi Weier was still sobbing softly because of the wound on her forehead. When they were leaving the infirmary, she kept on turning back to look at Xi Xiaye and Mu Zirui. Qi Feng clearly noticed this scene.

Qi Weier seemed to really like Xi Xiaye and Mu Zirui. He remembered that Xi Xiaye’s umbrella from back then seemed to still be hanging in Qi Weier’s room. Although Qi Feng had sent over a new umbrella to Xi Xiaye, he did not know if she had accept it.

“Father…it wasn’t…it wasn’t him…”

A while had passed when her timid voice softly came through. If you did not pay attention, you probably would not have heard her clearly.

When Qi Feng heard her say that, he turned and lowered his gaze to look pitifully at his own daughter. He pulled her into his arms with one hand over her shoulders as he consoled, “I know. Don’t be sad. You’ll have many, many friends the next time. Firstly, Weiwei, you have to get better and get healthy. Make yourself happy and you have to be courageous enough to speak to people. That way, they’ll notice you, understand?”

Seeing his daughter like this, he only felt like doting on her. He tried his best to find ways for Qi Weier to get better, but no matter what he did, not much changed with her. Especially when she was with Gu Lingsha, she spoke even less. Sometimes, Gu Lingsha would get impatient too, so…

Qi Weier did not say anything and just sat there blankly.

“Weiwei, that’s just one Mu Zirui. When you grow up, you’ll have even more excellent friends. There’s no need to be sad since they aren’t good people. Don’t get too close to them. Soon, you should return to Australia with me.”

“I don’t want to!”

When Gu Lingsha said that, Qi Weier instantly held tightly onto Qi Feng’s sleeves and stared at Gu Lingsha. That gaze was enough to make her mother feel disillusioned.

“I want Daddy…”

“Weiwei, don’t be scared. Mommy won’t hurt you. Mommy…”

“I want Daddy!” Qi Weier looked at her timidly and buried her head into Qi Feng’s embrace.

As Qi Feng quickly hugged her tightly and looked down at his frail daughter, he could not help but feel sorrow.

He did not know how much longer of such times they would have with each other. He did not know if they could safely and smoothly get through this calamity.

“I’m right here. I’m not going anywhere. Don’t worry. I’m right here…”

His raspy voice was colored with a rare tenderness, yet Qi Feng’s eyes were dim. His heart gathered with uneasiness and worry about the unknown.

…

If Morrison could escape unharmed this time around, then perhaps they would just return to Australia. At this point, that was probably their only way out: to return to Australia and start over. Even if he felt much anger and reluctance, they probably did not have much choice…

Morrison left City Z that night itself in a rush. Qi Feng did not send him off either. He just sent a trusted aide to send Morrison a tightly wrapped box.

“Mr. Morrison, First Master says he wishes you good luck! Whether or not things go well, it’s most important that you stay alive. He hopes that in the near future, he’ll see you in Australia, and he reminds you to be extremely careful. Take care!” The black-clothed bodyguard conveyed Qi Feng’s words.

When Morrison heard that, he was dazed, and he lowered his head to look silently at the box in his hand. After a while, he took a deep breath and quickly opened it to look. He realized that there was a pistol inside…

Stunned, Morrison quickly closed the box and his hands tightened.

“First Master said that he kept one of what’s in the box for himself too.” The black-clothed bodyguard did not know what was in the box as he only conveyed Qi Feng’s words as they were.

Morrison immediately understood what Qi Feng meant.

Morrison had said before that he would never fall into the hands of the police. Life in prison was no life at all. He had experienced it himself before, hence he never wanted to go back in, and that was why Qi Feng had sent this over…

He remembered!

When he thought about this, Morrison felt a hint of gratitude for Qi Feng.

Actually, he and Qi Feng shared the same fate. If things did not work as planned, then both of them were done for. Otherwise, they would be able to keep on living.

He took in another deep breath before holding onto the box tightly and looking up at the bodyguard. He said softly, “Go back and tell the First Master that I’ve received his message and that I won’t let him down!”

He left these words in a rush, opened the car door with that box, and swiftly got down from the car.

…

Once Morrison’s figure vanished from the car park, the bodyguard quickly called Qi Feng.

Right now in the Qi residence, Qi Feng was playing Jenga with his daughter, Qi Weier. The family of three had just finished dinner, and Gu Lingsha has already gone upstairs to shower.

The call had just gone through when the bodyguard immediately reported, “First Master, Mr. Morrison has already made a move.”

When Qi Feng heard that, his expression eased and he fell silent for a moment before responding, “Mmm, got it. How are things on the hospital’s side?”

“CEO Qi is still the same, but Second Master went to visit him in the afternoon. Second Master rushed over from Glory World Corporation, probably to see Mu Yuchen.”

“Let him be. For now, just stifle any rumors about Qi Kai,” said Qi Feng calmly.

Even if he were to leave, he would not be leaving a whole Qi Kai for Qi Lei.

‘Qi Qiming, you want to leave Qi Kai for Qi Lei, don’t you? If you knew that the company you have worked so hard to manage is about to turn into an empty shell, would you and Qi Lei be so angry that you puked blood? If you would, then I’d feel better,’ Qi Feng thought to himself as a chill flashed in his dark eyes.

“Yes, Master! I understand!” the other end responded respectfully before hanging up.

Qi Feng slowly kept away his phone as his eyes flickered from dark to light. His shifting gaze appeared dazed. He was so deep in thought that even when Qi Weier pulled at his sleeve from the side, he did not notice…
