CHAPTER 890: CHAPTER 890: REFUSING TO HELP

His fame and ability are admired by many, his genius reputation, and his status as a doctor make many people dare not offend him.

Moreover, Bai’s father has prospects of being promoted recently, and if he goes up a bit more, even Old Man Zhou will have to give him face.

Of course, Xia Duo doesn’t dare to offend.

If she offends the Bai Family, Old Man Zhou will definitely discipline her.

The reason she can be so arrogant now is entirely because of the affair with Zhou Yixiu, which has already created a feud between the Qi Family and the Zhou Family, so no matter how she targets the Qi Family, Old Man Zhou won’t bother with her.

"I didn’t expect Ji Yunhuan to be so smart as to come up with such a way."

"Yeah! I see even my brother is reining himself in! Even the person my brother doesn’t dare to offend, how could I dare to offend?"

Xia Duo glanced at Zhou Jinlian, understanding his difficulty, and said dejectedly, "Let’s not mention this matter. How are you doing with the task I asked you to find Qi Cheng?"

"I am searching," Zhou Jinlian replied, "but there is no news yet."

"Quickly help me find him."

"Little mom is truly a passionate person!" Zhou Jinlian laughed.

Xia Duo glared at the man teasing her, "You better not speak nonsense in front of your dad, or...you’ll be under Zhou Yixiu’s thumb for life."

Now Zhou Jinlian is counting on Xia Duo to speak for him; with Xia Duo’s support, his chances will be greater, so for now, he doesn’t dare to offend Xia Duo.

Knowing well what Xia Duo is seeking Qi Cheng for, he can only choose to help.

He flatteringly said, "I know, I know."

"I have to go back; your dad is looking for me again." After the incident with Qi Cheng, Xia Duo has stayed here for quite some time. Old Man Zhou doesn’t like Xia Duo always being out, every time Xia Duo goes out, she waits till the old man is too busy to care.

Although Xia Duo feels disgusted thinking of Old Man Zhou, for the sake of her future, she has to deal with him.

After all, the only thing she relies on to hold over Ji Yunhuan now is her influence.

Even though she’s a young wife to an older man, her status as the Zhou Family’s wife makes it convenient to do many things.

So, she can’t afford to offend Old Man Zhou at this time.

Zhou Jinlian escorted Xia Duo out, "Take care, little mom, let me know as soon as there’s news about Qi Cheng."

"I don’t want anyone else finding him before you." Regarding the Zhou Family’s matters, Zhou Jinlian should be more aware than others, after all, his mind has been on Zhou Yixiu all these years.

If he wants to find someone, he certainly has an advantage over Bai Liyan or the Qi Family.

"I know, I know." Zhou Jinlian repeatedly promised, though he also had no clue how to find someone from Zhou Yixiu.

Bai Liyan went to the Su Family today and saw Su Longyan. Su Longyan was surprised to learn that Bai Liyan came to see him, as they had no friendship.

Looking at Su Longyan standing on the balcony enjoying the breeze, Bai Liyan said, "I’m here to ask you for a favor."

Su Longyan looked at Bai Liyan in surprise, "Asking me?"

Bai Liyan nodded, "Yes."

"I have nothing to help you with," Su Longyan said coldly. In his eyes now, he’s a useless person and can’t help at all.

"I heard you have a good relationship with Zhou Yixiu, Qi Cheng is now in his hands, and the previous terrorist attack, I think, was also ordered by your people at his behest. If you are willing to help, finding Qi Cheng should be easier." Since Brother Long died, his previous influence fell into Zhou Yixiu’s hands, after all, Zhou Yixiu and Brother Long had always been close.

This time, Zhou Yixiu certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to use his own people. To clear suspicion, he chose Brother Long’s people to carry these things out.

So, Bai Liyan thought of enlisting Su Longyan’s help.

Hearing Bai Liyan’s words, Su Longyan refused, "Those things have nothing to do with me anymore. Now, I just want to live the simplest life."

When he was Brother Long, his life was far from good.

Now, with Brother Long gone, he is simply Su Longyan; he can live a simple life and doesn’t want to be entangled in those complex matters anymore.

Su Longyan now thoroughly enjoys this simple life.

Bai Liyan said, "I have no other options, that’s why I’m asking for your help."

"I’m sorry, I’m powerless." Su Longyan refused, "I won’t ruin my life to help others. After all, I’m not obliged to help, right?"

"Even just to inquire where Qi Cheng is, you can’t?" Bai Liyan felt Su Longyan was their best hope to find Qi Cheng at present.

"If I inquire, Zhou Yixiu surely wouldn’t tell me." If he really wanted to know, he would have to ask personally. But doing so, those who used to follow him, upon knowing he’s alive, would definitely seek him out.

Back when Brother Long died, he had already drawn a clear line with his past, so Su Longyan now doesn’t want to get involved in these matters anymore.

Hearing him say this, Bai Liyan sighed helplessly, "Sorry to bother you."

Since Su Longyan is unwilling, he can’t force him to agree.

Bai Liyan left Su Longyan’s room and happened to see Su Zi waiting outside. Su Zi knew what Bai Liyan came for and asked with concern, "My brother didn’t agree?"

"No," Bai Liyan replied, "but he has his own ideas, and it’s okay if he doesn’t want to."

Su Zi said, "My brother really doesn’t want any involvement with his past anymore. If he returned to his former world, he would definitely be forced to do all the things he doesn’t want to, and that would make my mom worried as well."

"I understand," Bai Liyan said, "It was reckless of me."

He’s just too eager to find Qi Cheng because Qi Cheng is severely injured right now, and his condition isn’t good.

Su Zi went downstairs with Bai Liyan, "How is Sister Yunhuan?"

"She’s okay."

"She must be very worried about Qi Cheng now."

"Yes." After seeing the photos of Qi Cheng and knowing he’s in Zhou Yixiu’s hands, Ji Yunhuan must be having a hard time.

"I’ll go see her later," Su Zi told Bai Liyan, "My dad is also helping to find Qi Cheng recently, hoping he returns safely."

"Let’s hope so." This incident unsettles them all.

Although Qi Cheng is somewhat indifferent, he still cares for those he knows.

Bai Liyan quickly left, and Su Zi went to Qi Garden to see Ji Yunhuan.

Ruirui was in Ji Yunhuan’s arms, asking repeatedly, "Mom, when is dad coming back?"

Whenever Ji Yunhuan heard him ask this, her heart ached terribly, "In a couple of days."

"Really?" Ruirui was full of doubt about Ji Yunhuan’s words.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Yes, really, dad will definitely come back."
