Chapter 108
When the police took Zuo Yunxuan into the police car, Zuo Zhiyu was frantic and wanted to follow along.
Suddenly, Zuo Zhaoyuan had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "Officers! The matter of the assault isn’t over yet! Take this little brat away too! She hit my grandson!"
Quan Zhisui gave Zuo Zichen a look.
Zuo Zichen spoke up, "Right! The assault isn’t settled yet! Officer, I want to report this too. Zuo Yunxuan hit me with a drone yesterday. Look at my wound. Should I go to the hospital for an injury assessment? Let’s see how many years he can get for this!"
Zhang Liufang, who didn’t understand the situation, panicked and said, "My dear grandson! Your brother is still young. He didn’t mean it. This is just a sibling squabble. You can’t have your own brother arrested over this. Besides, your brother fell into the water!"
Quan Zhisui coldly replied, "So Zuo Yunxuan isn’t injured or bleeding. He slipped and fell into the water himself. What does that have to do with me?"
Zhang Liufang: "..."
Zuo Zichen raised his hand, "The injuries on Zuo Yunxuan were from me hitting him. He almost blinded me. Am I not allowed to hit him back? Grandpa, Grandma, you’re not going to favor him, are you? My life doesn’t matter?"
He really wanted to beat him to death!
Quan Zhisui added, "If it’s a matter between brothers, we can file a separate case if necessary."
Zuo Zichen: "File it! Sue him!"
The two elders were too foolish to understand the situation and could only nervously comfort Zuo Zichen.
The police glanced at the chaotic family and left speechlessly.
Xu Zhiyi was almost laughing with joy, hugging Zuo Zichen and laughing heartily!
This was the first time in a month she had felt so satisfied!
Hou Qiaoling, soaked and shivering, sat frozen in place, unable to process how her son had been taken away.
All this time in the Zuo family, she had always been the one winning.
She suddenly looked up and met Quan Zhisui’s amber-like clear eyes.
Hou Qiaoling: "!!!"
No, this wasn’t what she wanted. She had warned Zuo Yunxuan not to mess with Quan Zhisui.
How did things end up like this?
Xu Zhiyi walked over at this moment, trying to affectionately take Quan Zhisui’s arm, "Sui Sui..."
Quan Zhisui pulled her arm away, expressionless, "You’re annoying too."
Xu Zhiyi: "..."
Zuo Zichen quickly pulled his mother away, "Shh, shh, stop talking. Don’t provoke her."
Others might not be afraid, but he truly was.
Every time Quan Zhisui calmly handled things, it was terrifying!
Quan Zhisui went upstairs to continue packing her clothes. She was utterly sick of this house.
No matter how big or luxurious it was, she hated it!
Not a single decent person in this family!
...
Outside.
Two identical Rolls-Royces were parked side by side on the roadside. The streetlights were dim, and the black cars seemed to blend into the night.
In one of the cars, Wei Shixu sat in the back seat.
He had arrived long ago, coming as soon as Quan Zhisui messaged him.
The Zuo family had been causing a scene for a while, and he had been waiting here, watching until the drama ended.
He saw the police take the ten-year-old illegitimate child away and the reporters buzzing with excitement.
Wei Shixu remained silent, hidden in the shadows, only his hands visible in the faint light, playing with a small military knife.
Swish! Swish!
The blade repeatedly flicked out of the sheath and back in, over and over.
The cold glint of the blade reflected intermittently, flickering around.
The car was silent, except for the sound of the blade scraping against the sheath.
The atmosphere was oppressive, almost sinister.
Qian Cheng sat in the front passenger seat, breathing as lightly as possible.
It was truly terrifying!
Whether it was the hidden camera in the bathroom or Wei Shixu’s current expression, it was all frightening!
And, Young Master, why did you suddenly take out this knife to play with?
Are you planning to gouge out that kid’s eyeballs?
Qian Cheng wanted to take a deep breath but was afraid of disturbing the rhythmic swishing of the blade.
It reminded him of many years ago, when the eleven-year-old Wei Shixu had approached him with the same sinister, almost malevolent aura.
He even remembered what Wei Shixu had said to him back then: "Manager Qian, work with me, and you’ll be the only butler of the Wei family."
At that time, Qian Cheng was just a department manager. Though his salary was decent, climbing the corporate ladder was difficult.
Manager? Butler?
The former sounded prestigious but was actually quite ordinary, even commonplace.
The latter seemed humble but held real power!
Of course, Qian Cheng chose to follow Wei Shixu!
Even now, looking back, Qian Cheng felt those two years were like a dream—a bloody and stormy one.
Wei Shixu was truly ruthless, both in heart and action.
Qian Cheng was one of the very few who truly understood Wei Shixu, and he knew exactly what state Wei Shixu was in right now.
Thankfully, nothing was captured on camera, or else Wei Shixu really might have gouged someone’s eyes out!
But no matter what, that kid was doomed.
...
Quan Zhisui packed all her belongings that very night and left the Zuo family, not wanting to stay a moment longer!
As she dragged her suitcase out, Zuo Zichen hesitated, wanting to say something.
"Move," Quan Zhisui said, looking at him.
Zuo Zichen immediately stepped aside, not daring to speak.
Xu Zhiyi also didn’t dare to object, though she was panicking inside. Now, the most formidable person in the Zuo family seemed to be Quan Zhisui. With her gone, Xu Zhiyi would undoubtedly be completely dominated by Hou Qiaoling again.
Quan Zhisui ignored everyone, not caring about Zuo Zhiyu or Zuo Yunxuan’s situation at the police station, and walked out with her suitcase.
Then, she encountered the two cars at the entrance.
The car door opened.
Wei Shixu stepped out and asked her, "Where to? School, or my place?"
He stood under the streetlight, dressed in black, his expression unreadable, his dark eyes deep as an abyss.
Quan Zhisui looked at him and suddenly said, "I want to eat hotpot."
She had been through a lot of chaos, packed all her clothes, and endured so much.
And she had been suppressing herself...
She felt wronged.
And hungry.
"Heh..." Wei Shixu suddenly chuckled, his expression softening as he looked up.
He took Quan Zhisui’s suitcase, handed it to a bodyguard, and opened the car door for her. "Alright, let’s eat hotpot."
Once they were in the car and it started moving, Quan Zhisui suddenly looked at him and asked, "You’re not planning to pull something like this too, are you?"
Wei Shixu put away the small military knife and asked, "Pull what?"
Quan Zhisui: "Hidden cameras, spy cams, or something like that. Otherwise, how do you know so much about counter-surveillance?"
She was on edge, still shaken.
The city was truly more frightening than the mountains!
Wei Shixu paused, then said, "I’ve encountered it before."
"Oh..." Quan Zhisui nodded, dazed for a moment before reaching out to him. "Then we’re really comrades in hardship. Did you find out back then?"
Wei Shixu glanced at her hand and gently held it. "Yes, I found out. I’m very cautious."
Quan Zhisui withdrew her hand, leaned back in the seat, and closed her eyes. "This world is insane!"
The Zuo family was driving her mad.
She was so angry she could kill someone!
Wei Shixu nodded lightly. "Yeah."
Thankfully, he had been through something similar, always cautious and prepared, even bringing a detector in advance.
Otherwise...
He would have been furious too! Ready to kill!
