Quick Transmigration: The main focus is on speed.

Chapter 197 The Prince Replaced by a Civet Cat (Qi Yuan)

1983 11 Month 11 Day.

I'm three days past my due date, and there's still no sign of labor.

Qi Zijin was a little anxious, but her husband Qin Shou was even more anxious.

"Zijin, should I go ask the doctor again? Why is there still no news?" Qin Shou paced back and forth in the room, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of worry.

"Let's wait a little longer, maybe the little one isn't ready yet." Qi Zijing wasn't in a hurry at all. She reached out and touched her high, protruding belly, feeling the baby's movements. She didn't think that waiting a few days would make a difference. It was just that Qin Shou was making a fuss over nothing and insisted on being hospitalized so quickly. If it were up to Qi Zijing, she would probably wait until labor started before coming to the hospital.

"But the doctor said your due date was three days ago, and there's still no sign of labor. Could this be bad for you and the baby?" Qin Shou's eyes darted around, but Qi Zijin was busy bonding with the little one in her belly and didn't notice.

"I'd better go ask the doctor, otherwise I'll keep worrying." Without waiting for Qi Zijing's reply, Qin Shou turned and left the ward.

Half an hour later, Qin Shou appeared in the ward. As Qin Shou approached, Qi Zijin felt that there was a faint fishy smell on Qin Shou.

"Why do you smell so bad? Where have you been?" Qi Zijin wrinkled her nose, looking somewhat disgusted.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou was startled, but he quickly found a reason.

"Ugh... It's because when I went to see the doctor just now, a new dad almost dropped his baby, and I helped him up. Maybe that's when I accidentally got this..."

[Pah! He clearly went to hug his illegitimate child, Mom, don't believe him!]

Suddenly, a babyish voice rang in her mind. Qi Zijin looked around but couldn't find any trace of the child. This was a private hospital room, with only her and Qin Shou present. Where did the child come from?

What's this about an illegitimate child? Am I hallucinating?

Qi Zijin couldn't help but begin to doubt herself.

That cheapskate father already had an illegitimate child outside, and now that the child is three days old, he's getting anxious. He'll try to find a way to get the mother to go out for a walk, saying it's good for childbirth.

He'll push Mom down when she's not looking, and then we'll both die, and he'll take the illegitimate child back to the Qi family.

My maternal grandfather was unaware of all this. He only thought that the illegitimate son was me, and he treated him like a precious jewel. Later, he even personally handed over the family business to that illegitimate son.

Once they get their hands on the Qi family's assets, that treacherous father and son will turn on their grandfather...

Tragic! Absolutely horrible!

Realizing that it was the fetus in her womb speaking, Qi Zijin became more and more terrified as she listened. She never expected to bring home a wolf in sheep's clothing. If it weren't for her help back then, Qin Shou wouldn't have the good life he has now.

Although the child in her womb wasn't his, it was still a deal. Qin Shou broke the agreement and even tried to harm her and her child. Since that was the case, she shouldn't blame him.

"Zijin, are you listening to me?" Qin Shou's voice rang in her ears, and Qi Zijin subconsciously closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

"Zijin? Zijin?" Qin Shou shook Qi Zijin's arm, trying to wake her up.

"Don't make a sound, I'm so sleepy, let me sleep for a while." Anyone can act, right? Qi Zijin pretended to be sleepy and mumbled indistinctly.

Seeing that he couldn't wake Qi Zijin no matter what he did, Qin Shou had no choice but to give up. If he angered her, he was afraid he would be in deep trouble. He knew that he was just a tool for exchanging benefits in front of the Qi family and had no feelings for Qi Zijin at all.

At this critical moment, Qin Shou dared not provoke Qi Zijing, and could only look at Qi Zijing's back with resentment, not daring to utter a single word.

Qi Zijin kept her eyes closed, her mind filled with countless questions she wanted to ask the baby in her womb, but she couldn't find the right words.

Qi Yuanming knew that Qi Zijing wanted to communicate with him, but he pretended not to know anything and continued talking to himself.

Let's stop communicating. He even plans to keep his thoughts to himself so that they can only be heard inside the womb.

【Huh? It seems Qin Shou has left. I wonder if he went to see his old flame and illegitimate child. As long as Mom can hold on, I won't come out either. We'll definitely be safe and sound. If only Grandpa could come and watch over things, or even my own father could come...】

Hearing Qi Yuan mention his biological father, a wave of guilt washed over him. He knew he couldn't find his biological father, so finding his own father was a more reliable option.

Quietly opening her eyes and confirming that Qin Shou was not in the ward, Qi Zijing quickly got up and left the hospital when no one was paying attention.

If what the child said is true, then someone in this hospital must have been bribed by Qin Shou. She can't stay here and wait to die. Leaving is the best option. If anything happens, she can go home and find her father. At worst, she can give birth at home and at least save her life. As for other things, Qi Zijin has no time to care. She can't gamble with her own and her child's lives.

"Zijin, why are you back?" As soon as she entered the door, Qi Zijin saw Qi Zhengguo packing his things, big bags and small bags, which were obviously prepared for her.

“Dad, Qin Shou has an illegitimate child who gave birth three days earlier than me. He was trying to frame me, so I ran away when he wasn’t looking.”

Qi Zhengguo looked at Qi Zijin, who was speaking seriously, and had no doubts. What a joke! If he didn't trust his own daughter, would he trust an outsider? Since his daughter had spoken, there must be evidence.

"Okay, Dad understands. We won't go to the hospital. Dad will take care of everything. Don't worry, Dad will definitely protect you and your grandson!" Without the slightest doubt, Qi Zhengguo walked quickly to the telephone, inserted his finger into the dial pad, and rapidly turned the dial, making a 'click-click-click' sound.

"Old Zhang, make the arrangements. Zijing is going to give birth at home, so it needs to be quick. Also, have someone go and follow Qin Shou, but don't alert him, just keep an eye on him... Yes..."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Zhengguo finally felt relieved. He sat down opposite Qi Zijing and observed her condition. Seeing that his daughter was as if nothing had happened and was still eating and drinking, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, my daughter is smart enough, otherwise I'd probably regret it.

Neither the father nor the daughter mentioned Qin Shou, but in their hearts they had both sentenced him to death. As for when to take action, that would depend on when the father and daughter had time. Right now, nothing was more important than Qi Zijin's childbirth.

Unless, we can catch Qin Shou in the act.

"Brother Qin, what should we do? Why hasn't that woman given birth yet? Could it be that she has discovered our plan?" Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan's already pale face turned even paler.

"What's the rush! I'm trying to figure something out too! She won't know!" The last sentence was spoken with a noticeably weaker tone, and it was unclear whether he was speaking to Liu Ruyan or to himself.

"I'm just afraid..." Liu Ruyan looked worried, looked down at the baby boy in her arms, and was about to shed tears again.

"Alright, alright! You've cried all your good fortune away!" In the past, when Liu Ruyan cried in front of Qin Shou, it was still considered charming and would make Qin Shou feel sorry for her. But now, Qin Shou was in a state of utter distress and didn't care about feelings at all. Seeing that Liu Ruyan could do nothing but cry, Qin Shou was naturally very annoyed.

For Qin Shou, love is merely a spice in life, but if it becomes a burden, he will discard it immediately.

"You don't love me anymore! Do you already have that young lady in your heart? That's why you treat us, mother and son, like this!" Perhaps because she had just given birth a few days ago and her hormones were unstable, Liu Ruyan changed her usual gentle and considerate ways and started crying, making a scene, and even threatening to hang herself.

"Fine, go live with your young lady then. I'll take my son and leave. I won't bother you, okay?" With that, Liu Ruyan picked up her child and was about to get out of bed when Qin Shou pushed her back down.

"You! You actually hit me! I don't want to live anymore!"

"Slap!" A slap landed on Liu Ruyan's face, and Liu Ruyan looked at Qin Shou in disbelief.

"Have you made enough trouble? There are plenty of people who want to have my child, I don't need you! Don't cause me any trouble, or don't blame me for not showing any mercy!" A murderous glint flashed in Qin Shou's eyes. Liu Ruyan had never seen Qin Shou like this before, and she was so frightened that she dared not make any more trouble and sat quietly on the bed.

"Alright, behave yourself, and I certainly won't treat you badly." Qin Shou raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Liu Ruyan's face, then reached out to touch the baby boy's face in the swaddling clothes and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken such a big risk for our son."

Liu Ruyan was persuaded by Qin Shou's words and realized that she had gone too far. She apologized and made promises. After seeing Qin Shou's smiling face, she finally felt relieved.

"Brother Qin, hold our son." Seeing that Liu Ruyan had calmed down, Qin Shou didn't care about this little thing. He reached out and took the swaddled baby. The two sat on the bed, head to head, looking at the sleeping baby boy.

The sweet atmosphere of the family of three was suddenly shattered when the door was kicked open and several uniformed police officers rushed in.

"Qin Shou, you are suspected of committing hooliganism and bigamy. We are now arresting you in accordance with the law."

Please remain calm, do not resist, and cooperate with our work…

"Liu Ruyan, you have maintained an improper relationship with another man for a long time and destroyed another man's family... Resisting arrest will only make your crime more serious!"

Upon seeing the police officers at the door, the two men turned deathly pale. They never expected to be reported, even though they had been very careful.

"No! I'm innocent! I have no relationship with her!" Qin Shou shouted hoarsely. He wanted to run away, but when he saw the police officers' equipment, he didn't have the courage to resist at all.

Liu Ruyan, who was standing to the side, had never seen such a scene before. Her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed limply, lifelessly fainting on the hospital bed.

The baby boy in her arms was also startled by this sudden change, and woke up abruptly from his dream, then started crying loudly.

For a moment, the baby's shrill cries and Qin Shou's tearful pleas for justice echoed in the small ward, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

Qin Shou was already terrified out of his wits. His legs were so weak and limp that he couldn't stand up. He was supported by two police officers on either side and walked awkwardly toward the police station.

Liu Ruyan was just like Qin Shou.

Its four legs dragged on the ground, leaving four messy tracks.

"Officers, please believe me! I really have nothing to do with her! I'm just from the same hometown as her. When I found out she was pregnant, I came to help out out of kindness. I swear to God!"

Qin Shou burst into tears, his face filled with terror. At this moment, in order to distance himself from the situation, he completely disregarded the harm his words would cause Liu Ruyan.

His only concern was the fear of legal punishment and his extreme worry about his own safety.

In his heart, his own life was far more important than anything else. Morality, ethics, his past relationship with Liu Ruyan, and even their child became insignificant at this moment.

To put it bluntly, nothing is more important than himself.

"Stop wasting your energy on sophistry!" The police officer's eyes were sharp, and his tone was serious and firm.

“We have investigated thoroughly. You openly referred to yourselves as husband and wife in the hospital and went around telling people that the child was yours. You clearly have a wife at home, yet you maintained an improper relationship with another person. This constitutes the crimes of hooliganism and bigamy. The evidence is conclusive, and you cannot deny it!”

Upon hearing the police officer's righteous words, Qin Shou's face turned deathly pale, his legs went weak, and he slumped into a chair.
