Chapter 308 Qi Huan's Clever Plan

Before Qi Huan could say anything to the sanatorium director, the mute man behind him snorted coldly.

Immediately afterward, Zhou Zerui gritted his teeth and said sarcastically, seemingly displeased, "President Qi, Qi Tianxiang is your biological father. If you are reluctant to punish him, you can just tell us directly. Why go through all this trouble?"

Qi Huan's eyes darkened, and she gripped the armrest of her wheelchair, turning it around to look at Zhou Zerui. "What do you mean by that?"

Zhou Zerui said somewhat angrily, "Qi Tianxiang was actually sent away by you, so why did you have to have someone deliberately put on a show to pretend that you didn't know anything about it?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing Zhou Zerui's question, the director of the sanatorium broke out in a cold sweat. "What do you mean, put on a show?"

Qi Huan wasn't angry; instead, she laughed out loud. "Why would I be reluctant to punish Qi Tianxiang and secretly send him away?"

“Because he is your biological father,” Zhou Zerui said.

"He's your biological father too," Qi Huan replied calmly. "You never intended to let him go either."

Zhou Zerui was speechless for a moment. After a while, he retorted, "That's different. I've never met him since I was a child, and I have no feelings for him. So, I only feel resentment towards him for sending me away when I was a child. That's why I won't feel sorry for him just because he's my father."

Qi Huan nodded thoughtfully. "I understand. So that's what you and Uncle Ya were arguing about today?"

Zhou Zerui was taken aback, clearly not expecting Qi Huan to guess his thoughts so quickly, and didn't know how to respond.

Jiang Youli, who was standing to the side, also understood. "So you and Uncle Ya knew all along that Qi Tianxiang was missing, and you thought that Huanhuan couldn't bear to take revenge on Qi Tianxiang, so she deliberately asked the dean to cooperate in deceiving you?"

"Isn't that right?" Zhou Zerui retorted.

The director of the sanatorium understood and quickly clarified, "Of course not, I really didn't play along! I had an important meeting this morning and wasn't at the sanatorium. When I came back, I heard from the nurse in charge of taking care of Mr. Qi Tianxiang that he was missing. I went to check the surveillance footage, and it turned out that all the surveillance cameras around Mr. Qi Tianxiang's room were malfunctioning that morning."

Zhou Zerui looked at Qi Huan and said, "The surveillance footage has obviously been tampered with, and that person is you, President Qi, isn't it?"

He emphasized the words "President Qi," seemingly to stress his determination not to be called "Brother."

Despite being suspected, Qi Huan remained calm and said slowly, "Why do you think I can't be ruthless? Actually, before bringing you to the sanatorium, I had Cheng Jing sever Qi Tianxiang's tendons in his hands and feet."

Zhou Zerui was shocked when he heard Qi Huan casually mention severing tendons in his hands and feet.

Jiang Youli crossed her arms and nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. Huanhuan was so ruthless to Qi Tianxiang in order to find out from him who he sold Qi Yue to back then. If you still think Huanhuan is untrustworthy, then I really don't know what to say to you."

Zhou Zerui remained silent for a moment, then looked at Uncle Ya beside him, "Uncle Ya... let's tell President Qi about the same-city delivery this morning."

Uncle Du remained silent, offering no response.

Zhou Zerui knew that Uncle Ya had tacitly approved of it.

Zhou Zerui glanced at the dean.

Qi Huan then asked the dean to continue searching for people.

After the dean left, Zhou Zerui told Qi Huan about the photos of his mother, Cheng Xiran, that he had received in a local package. "...The person told us that my mother's death was not an accident, but was orchestrated by Qi Tianxiang. The person also said that you never intended to really avenge your mother and had secretly sent Qi Tianxiang away."

At this point, he said with remorse, "If it's really as you say, that you severed Qi Tianxiang's tendons in order to find me, then there's no such thing as being unwilling to take revenge on Qi Tianxiang. That person lied to us."

The mute uncle also started using sign language: [I'm sorry, but I can't be careless about my benefactor. Even if you are my benefactor's son and Xiao Rui's older brother, I can't completely trust you right away.]

Qi Huan smiled nonchalantly, "It's alright. As long as we clear things up and there's no misunderstanding, it's fine. Now it's clear that it couldn't have been me who took Qi Tianxiang away. It must have been someone else in the Qi family who found out your identity and deliberately tried to sow discord between us brothers. As for Mother's death, Grandpa already sent people to investigate. It was indeed just an accidental car accident, not something Qi Tianxiang orchestrated."

Zhou Zerui said, "Regardless of whether it was Qi Tianxiang's doing or not, my mother's accidental death was all because Qi Tianxiang orchestrated sending me away. My mother got into a car accident while looking for me, so I will not forgive him."

"Don't worry, I will have someone find Qi Tianxiang," Qi Huan said calmly. "You and Uncle Ya just need to wait and not act rashly and be used by those with ulterior motives."

Zhou Zerui nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Jiang Youli also spoke up to remind him: "Zhou Zerui, instead of doubting your brother here, you should spend your time thinking about how to play the main villain Mo Jingzhi in 'The Legend of Chusen'. Don't disappoint me by casting you. You know, the whole internet is concerned about the casting of 'The Legend of Chusen' right now."

Zhou Zerui's expression turned serious, and he nodded solemnly, saying, "President Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Qi Huan instructed, "Alright, since Qi Tianxiang has not been punished today, let someone send you back now. I will come to pick you up after I find Qi Tianxiang."

Zhou Zerui and Uncle Ya had no objections.

After arranging for someone to send Zhou Zerui and the mute uncle back, Jiang Youli stood in the sanatorium where Qi Tianxiang had been detained, watching the car leave from the door and said, "Zhou Zerui and the mute uncle are obviously still hiding something from you. Huanhuan, you're a smart person, you must have seen it too. How could you let them get away with it like this?"

Qi Huan smiled and said, "It's good to be vigilant. Even if the other party is his own brother, it's still good for him to be on guard. If I had been more vigilant about Qi Tianxiang, the fake Qi Yue, and Qi Yu back then, how could I have been tricked by them?"

Therefore, he didn't mind at all that his younger brother, Zhou Zerui, was wary of him.

Seeing how open-minded he was, Jiang Youli smiled and said, "That's right. His status is different now, so it's always good to be cautious."

After a pause, she asked, "So, Huanhuan, what are you planning to do next?"

Qi Huan laughed and said, "Let's play along."

"Just as you analyzed, Xiao Li'er, the person behind this matter, whether it is Qi Shaoxiong or Qi Feifan, most likely wants to lead my brother and Uncle Ya to suspect that my mother was killed by my grandfather, so that Uncle Ya and the others can find an opportunity to take revenge on my grandfather through me."

"Then I'll just let them think that things are going as they planned."

"The plan they thought could kill me is also the same for them. If their plan fails this time, they will never be able to recover."
