"how?"

Qi Yan rested his wrists on his knees, and his clear eyes under his drooping eyelids were extremely cold, like an extremely cold whirlpool.

"What do you say?"

She picked up a mineral water bottle that was rolling on the marble floor and slapped him on the face with very light force.

Zhong Shan shuddered for no reason.

"Master Zhong, why do you think you've been safe all this time?" she asked. "Don't you think you're lucky?"

"……what do you want to say in the end?"

"I want to say," Qi Yan's eyes showed a coldness, "without me, you wouldn't be alive today."

Zhong Shan's existence and whereabouts had long been exposed. The reason he was able to survive until now was not only because of his own strong qualities, but also because of Qi Yan's support behind the scenes.

It's not over yet, his life is still useful.

"If you go out on your own, you will die." She rarely explained.

"I just want to know how my dad is doing. Am I wrong?!" He pressed his face against the cold floor, almost crying.

"...Even if you send me on the plane again, I will run away again. Even if I go back to Country B, I will come back until I find my father!" he said stubbornly.

"Good, good, good." Qi Yan applauded his speech, "Very courageous."

After applauding, she smiled at Zhong Shan’s dazed expression.

"Do you think I should be angry and then be provoked to take you to see your father?"

"you……"

Qi Yan stood up, handed the bottle of mineral water in his hand to the staff, and slowly straightened the wrinkles on his cuffs.

"But I have to say, your provocation works well on me."

Ignoring Jong-sun’s wide eyes, she said, “Come on, I’ll personally escort you abroad.”

She emphasized the word "personally" very much, Zhong Shan panicked, he didn't want this result!

"Let me go! I told you I'm not going! I want to see my dad!!"

"Hey!!!"

No matter how much he yelled, Qi Yan ignored him.

Boarding was not smooth, but with Qi Yan's control, nothing unexpected happened. Apart from the crew, there were only the two of them on the special plane.

Zhong Shan has kept his mouth shut since getting on the plane. He probably knew there was no hope. Qi Yan had a rare moment of silence.

It takes more than ten hours to fly from the capital to the capital of country B.

But the silence lasted only an hour before Zhong Shan started to annoy her again.

"what's your name?"

"I didn't scream."

"..."

"I asked you what your name is?" Zhong Shan stared at her. "I can't keep calling you 'Hey', right?"

"'Hello' is fine."

"what?"

"My name is 'Hey'." Qi Yan said blindly with his eyes closed.

Zhong Shan: “…”

He discovered that the woman was ill.

Still very ill!

He huddled in the sofa seat and looked around. The interior of a private jet was different from that of an ordinary plane. Its supporting facilities were like those of a small residence.

"Did my father give you these wallets?" Although his father was rich, he would not spend so much.

"Why do they all call you boss? Who are you? If you are rich, why do you come to protect me?"

Listening to this string of questions, Qi Yan, who was lying on the sofa opposite, tightened and loosened her hands at her side, tightened and loosened, and her thriving meridians appeared and disappeared. She was trying her best to endure.

Zhong Shan, who was unaware of anything, continued chattering.

"Speak now. I'm not asking you to find my dad now. Can you just chat with me?"

The journey was long and he needed to know more information.

Qi Yan rubbed his brows and opened his eyes a little: "What are you talking about?"

"Answer my previous question."

"I don't know, don't ask me."

"..."

"How could you not know?"

"Anything can happen in this world, and I don't know that it makes sense."

"..."

Qi Yan knew nothing about anything, and if you asked her any more questions she would just make up stories.

The rest of Zhong Shan's words were stuck in his throat and almost choked him to death.

How could Zhong Shan not see that she was just making things up for him?

He couldn't continue the conversation.

——We have to talk even if we can’t continue!

He organized his thoughts and connected together the subtle changes in what Qi Yan had said since the first time they met, and seemed to have vaguely touched upon the truth.

After a long time, Zhong Shan raised his head again and asked, "Did he do anything illegal?"

Hit the mark.

Qi Yan's eyes were completely opened. At this moment, Zhong Shanxin felt as if she was immersed in a chilly spring pond, feeling bone-chillingly cold.

He knew he was right.

"What crime is it? Tax evasion?" These are the economic crimes that businessmen are most likely to commit.

Qi Yantou pressed Cheng Banquan's palm against his, and looked back at him indifferently: "No."

With her words, Zhong Shan became more certain. He clenched his palms and said urgently.

"Is he in jail now?"

Qi Yan tapped her index finger on her crossed thighs: "The verdict has not yet been made."

No judgement yet...

That was in the detention center.

Jong-sun studied law in Country B at University and was familiar with the domestic legal process.

I don’t know what Zhong Chenjun’s mentality is, but I guess he wants to get on the right track just like the name he got.

Zhongshan, Zhongshan, loyal to goodness.

Ridiculous.

Qi Yan withdrew her gaze from him, and no one could see what was in her eyes.

"When will the sentence be? Do you know how many years it will be?" Zhong Shan accepted it quickly, "Is it necessary to hide this from me? I will come back to visit him when the time comes."

He took it for granted that it was not a serious crime.

After all, his father, whom he knew best, was kind and amiable, and might do things wrong, but never seriously.

In response, Qi Yan smiled faintly and said nothing.

"Why aren't you talking again? If you have any questions, just tell me! You're not mute!" Zhong Shan frowned deeply, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness enveloping him.

"Sometimes, not knowing is also a kind of happiness." Qi Yan said.

Zhong Shan had had enough of these half-truths.

"Can't you just say it straight? It's fun to keep things in suspense."

He looked at Qi Yan and got goose bumps on his back. It was... that weird look again.

It seems like he is pitying me, but also seems like he is indifferent.

"It's not the time for you to know yet," Qi Yan said slowly, "Wait a minute."

Once Zhong Chenjun is executed, and everyone is arrested, and there are no interests involved, naturally no one will stop him from finding out the truth.

“……” Knowing that his father was in the detention center, Zhong Shan didn’t know whether he should be worried or relieved.

Another two hours passed, and the setting sun outside the porthole dyed the clouds red, casting large patches of golden light.

After being silent for a while, Zhong Shan suddenly called the crew and asked for paper and pen.

He leaned over the table and wrote down a few strings of information. After finishing, he shook the paper with the ink not yet dried and said to Qi Yan who was half-closed his eyes.

"My dad's money was all obtained illegally, right?"

Qi Yan nodded: "Yes."

"Are you from the police?" he asked.

"Not counting."

"..."

It's not 'no', it's 'doesn't count'.

Zhong Shan handed the piece of paper to her, but when Qi Yan stared at him for more than ten seconds and was about to take it, he withdrew his hand.

"I can give you the account information, but you have to agree to one condition."
