Chapter 226 Follow-up
The head of the Qian family acted decisively, his eyes wide open, and he shouted, "Quick, quickly catch up and return the crystal apple. Such a precious thing is unworthy of our Qian family!"
The baby opened his mouth, feeling aggrieved, and wanted to say that this was a gift from Sister Chu to him.
But when he saw his grandfather and father looking panicked, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue and had to quietly move his little body to an inconspicuous corner.
At this time, the head of the Qian family was extremely vigilant and sensitive to any slight disturbance.
Just as he was about to ask, the doorman had a panicked look on his face, his body trembling slightly, and he said tremblingly: "Master, the other party has left. And when he left, he clearly pointed out that this gift was specially for the young master."
The head of the Qian family looked slightly annoyed, his brows were furrowed, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, but he finally stopped talking about returning the crystal apple. He just waved his hand weakly and said in a low voice: "Forget it, you can leave now."
The doorman who came to report the news left in a hurry as if he had been pardoned.
Without the outsiders around, the head of the Qian family immediately turned around, staring at Qian Baobao, and asked seriously and anxiously: "Baby, why did Sister Chu give you this crystal apple? What's the reason behind this?"
Even the Niu couple no longer bothered to argue with the Qian father and son about their daughter's death. At this moment, they turned their eyes full of doubts and inquiries to Qian Baobao.
Although Qian Baobao is young, he witnessed his mother being killed and experienced the hardship of exile. His mentality is already different from that of ordinary children.
"Baby wanted them. Sister Chu is kind-hearted and gave one to each of us." Qian Baobao tried to keep his voice calm, but his slightly trembling tone still revealed his nervousness.
After hearing this, the head of the Qian family finally shifted his mind away from the crystal apple, and then said, "Dayong, go guard outside and don't let anyone get close."
"Yes," Qian Dayong replied. After this crazy time, he finally realized that he was not cut out to be the boss.
So, he once again became the good son who obeyed his father's orders and was a respectful servant.
At this time, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Only the head of the Qian family, Qian Baobao, and the Niu couple were left.
It was the head of the Qian family who broke the silence first and asked, "One for each person? Are there other people with the baby? How many people are there in total?"
The head of the Qian family frowned, looking anxious. He asked questions again and again impatiently, his eyes fixed on Qian Baobao, as if he was eager to get an answer from him.
The Niu couple were no less anxious. They opened their eyes wide, their faces full of anxiety and desire, and leaned forward as if they were going to rush to Qian Baobao and interrogate him in the next second.
Qian Baobao had never felt that someone who was always so kind around him would become so scary. His little body unconsciously took two steps back, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.
This made the head of the Qian family and others realize that they had been too extreme.
The head of the Qian family was the first to react and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, baby. Grandpa didn't mean to scare you, and grandpa and grandma were just anxious for a moment, but this matter is really important, baby, you can understand, right?"
Hearing this, Qian Baobao looked timidly at his grandfather who had an anxious and guilty look on his face, and at his grandparents who were beside him, at a loss and full of regret.
"Grandpa, grandpa and grandma, baby understands." His voice was childish, but sensible and well-behaved, and he tried hard to reassure the adults.
But the more well-behaved and sensible the baby was, the more guilty the three old people felt.
The clever Bao Bao also took advantage of this guilt. Before the three of them could speak again, Qian Bao Bao blinked his clear big eyes and told them everything he knew and what he was told to say by the Xiuyi law enforcement officer without reservation.
The three of them originally thought that things would be very serious, but when Qian Baobao told them everything, they realized that they had greatly underestimated how terrible the matter was.
At this time, the head of the Qian family frowned and was full of worry. He was even considering whether to move the Qian family away from Guiyang to avoid disaster.
Grandpa Niu also looked solemn, his eyes full of worry, and he kept thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
Grandma Niu had a smooth life. As a woman of that era, she always worked hard for her family and had never experienced too many ups and downs.
Hearing such a serious matter suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, standing there in a daze, his face full of panic.
However, after the panic, she was more resolute than the head of the Qian family and Grandpa Niu: "Let the baby go to the White Deer Academy with his uncle for a while, maybe he can avoid trouble and learn something with peace of mind."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Qian family was overjoyed, and an irrepressible smile instantly broke out on his face, but he quickly restrained himself and looked at Grandpa Niu cautiously.
The Niu family has already lost a daughter because of their Qian family. If Grandpa Niu disagrees with this arrangement, the relationship between the two families will probably become even more tense.
Just when the head of the Qian family was feeling very confused and didn't know what to do.
Grandpa Niu took a deep breath and made a firm decision. "I can let Bao Bao go, but he can't go in the name of Qian Bao Bao, but in the name of my family's Yi Ran's servant. In-laws, do you agree?"
At this time, the head of the Qian family truly respected the Niu couple from the bottom of his heart.
If they were to swap identities and be in the same situation, he thought he would not be able to be as magnanimous and righteous as the Niu couple.
He nodded solemnly, "I understand. After all, this matter is of great importance. If we are not careful, it may bring disaster to both families. We have to act with extreme caution."
The head of the Qian family and Grandpa Niu were fully focused on discussing the whereabouts of Qian Baobao. They looked focused and serious, and did not notice at all that the person who had delivered the crystal apple to Chu Ci was lying on their roof.
Only after they had discussed everything and finalized the plan did the man leave silently like a ghost blending into the night, just as quietly as he came, without leaving any trace.
After Chu Ci and his group received the confirmed news that Qian Baobao would be treated well, they finally felt relieved and headed towards their second target, the Li family where Li Jing was.
The situation of the Li family is much more complicated than that of the Qian family.
The Li family practices a competition system within its ranks. Under this mechanism, various forces are constantly fighting overtly and covertly for resources and interests.
The "fake" Li Jing knew that he was not cut out for business, so he simply took a group of people and went on the sea route.
Or maybe that was their purpose.
Now, it is cooperating with the Salt Gang, and with this adventurous way of cooperation, it has facilitated two large-scale businesses for the Li family.
However, while this cooperation brings huge profits, it also hides huge risks, making the future of the Li family full of uncertainty.
