Mysterious level up! Shen Ye cries and begs for reconciliation again

That is, Duan Pengpu, who has various ties in the open, is easier to control than him and will be more loyal than him.

Qi Yan listened to his advice without much reaction, just nodded.

"I understand."

After saying that, she turned and walked out.

"...No, what do you understand? Come back here! Qi! Get me transferred to another hospital! I want to be discharged!"

Zhong Chenjun tried to chase after her but was stopped by the police and pushed back into the ward. He didn't even see the corner of Qi Yan's clothes.

He could only glare at the police officer fiercely, "If I die, you cops will be buried with me!"

“Don’t insult the police.”

"..."

Qi Yan came out of the ward and was blocked as soon as she turned the corner. Duan Pengbo's wrinkled face was full of smiles.

"Xiao Qi, come to my ward and catch up with me."

"Okay."

"..."

Perhaps he didn't expect that she agreed so easily. Duan Pengpu paused for a moment, then smiled again.

"Come, please."

"Go and get the Tieguanyin tea and the spare tea table and tea sets in my car." He instructed the bodyguards.

"No need to bother."

"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. I know you like drinking tea, and this is what I should do."

"It seems like you've investigated me a lot." Qi Yan smiled.

"The word 'investigation' sounds so bad. I'm just trying to please them."

The two of them entered the ward chatting and laughing, not at all looking like they cared about each other's lives.

After Qi Yan arrived at the ward, he looked around, sat down and said, "I didn't even know you were in the hospital. You didn't even bring a gift. You must tell me before you are hospitalized next time so that I can come to visit you."

"...Haha, Xiao Qi, I just appreciate your sense of humor."

It's cold and provocative, but humorous enough.

Soon, the bodyguard quickly arranged the tea sets, plugged in the kettle and left.

The kettle was boiling with a gurgling sound. Qi Yan closed his eyes and dozed off, listening to the sound of the water.

When the water boiled, Duan Pengbo first washed the teacup with the hot water, then placed it in front of Qi Yan. He then took out the tea leaves with a half spoon made of peach wood. As soon as he opened the tea lid, the fragrance of the dry tea leaves wafted out and lingered at the tip of his nose.

Just as he was holding the pot to brew, Qi Yan said faintly, "Such good tea leaves will be ruined if you put anything in it."

"..." Duan Pengpu's hands suddenly froze, and he smiled, "Why don't I understand what you mean? After so many years, Xiao Qi still loves to talk nonsense."

Qi Yan opened his eyes a little: "Don't bother to poison me. If you can't kill me, it will be a waste of good tea."

Duan Pengpu was silent, his hand clenched around the glass pot. Qi Yan seemed unable to read his expression and slowly inserted his drink.

"You poisoned the neighbor's water cup, didn't you? I've asked someone to deal with it." She picked up the cup and spun it between her fingers. "You poisoned so blatantly, are you trying to get yourself involved? Do you really want to die?"

"..." Duan Pengbo chuckled, threw away the medicine in his hand, and poured hot water into the cup.

His brows relaxed, his posture relaxed, "I want to live more than anyone else, but this world..."

He put the teapot down with a bang and looked at her with despair in his eyes. "Tell me, how can an honest person survive in this world?"

Duan Pengbo seemed to have finally found an outlet, and he let out all the words that had been pent up in his heart.

"Do you think I want to poison you? I don't want to either. I always want to be a good person, but who will give me this opportunity? Do I have a choice?"

"Qi Yan, tell me, was I not good before? Didn't I do things for the people before? Didn't I devote myself to my work?"

"What's the result? Look, what's the result?"

Duan Pengyu clapped his hands and his face fell. "The result is that they like you and you can't resist. The lives of your whole family are in their hands... I had no choice..."

His eyes were red and tears were streaming from the corners of his eyes.

"Xiao Qi, you know, back then I just wanted to be a good cadre and a good leader..."

He covered his face with his hands, his voice choking.

Qi Yan lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time before he raised his head and said firmly.

"You have a choice."

Duan Pengpu sneered and said self-deprecatingly.

"How can I have a choice? It's not just your life that's in someone else's hands now, it's your whole family's. If I don't poison you today, my little daughter will die tomorrow... She's only four years old... I only have this one child..."

The more he spoke, the more choked he became, and the more tears flowed.

Qi Yan's clear eyes flickered slightly, "Tell me the list of participants, and I will help you rescue your family. I will ensure that they are safe."

"...Really?" Duan Pengpu asked uncertainly.

But he quickly denied it, "No, no, even I don't know where he hid the person... What if I alert the enemy..."

"As long as you tell me who you are and are willing to confess everything you know, I can find out where your family is."

Qi Yan stared into his eyes and promised.

"..." Duan Pengyu was persuaded by her words, "I believe in your Qi family, but I am really afraid... we can't let any accidents happen in this matter."

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, I can rescue them all."

Duan Pengyu hesitated for a while, and finally slapped his thigh, "Okay, I believe you! Xiao Qi, please don't let me down. You are the only one I can trust now."

"Ah."

He wiped the tears from his face, sniffed, raised his hand to make tea, poured the dark tea into the fairness cup and filled it for her.

"Then let's talk while we drink tea. I'll tell you who's behind me..."

Qi Yan nodded and was about to pick up the teacup when the person opposite her suddenly raised his hand wiping his tears.

Her mouth was instantly covered tightly, and a thick hemp rope was quickly locked around her neck, tightening her back with all her might, causing her to feel suffocated by congestion.

In the blurred vision caused by lack of oxygen, Qi Yan saw Duan Pengpu, who was sitting opposite her, stand up, wipe away two tears from the corners of his eyes, and smile.

"It doesn't matter who you are. I trust myself more than you do. I just want my family to live. You are a member of the Qi family. You are kind and righteous in your bones. You will definitely understand me, right?"

……

Parking lot outside the hospital.

Shen Rao was sitting in the back seat handling urgent work. For some reason, his heart felt empty. His hands stopped typing on the membrane keyboard. He instinctively looked towards the inpatient building, checked the time, and frowned.

It's been two hours, why is it so slow?

Just when he was about to send a message to Qi Yan to ask about the situation, Chen Huai's call popped up. Shen Rao sent a message to Qi Yan asking when he would come out before answering Chen Huai's call.

"What's the matter again?" he asked impatiently.

"... President, don't forget the multinational meeting later."

"understood."

After saying that, Shen Rao hung up the phone and stared at the screen waiting for a reply.

Ten minutes passed, and there was no response from the phone. Shen Rao felt a little uneasy. Normally, Qi Yan would reply as long as she saw the message. What happened?

Just as he was about to get out of the car and go in to look for it, the message alert sounded.
