The butler even changed the way he addressed Qin Li and Di Chunhua. It seemed that he knew a lot of inside stories, and was a trusted servant of Di Bian.
Di Qiuhe now was completely assured. He gave some instructions and hung up the phone. Then he looked at He Bai with a smile, “We’re going to see some fun!”
Since he had resorted to his ‘being a-pain-in-the-ass’ state, He Bai knew that things would be settled satisfactorily and he was also relieved, but he still warned, “Just take it seriously. If you cannot handle it well, we will both be done.”
Hearing his words, Di Qiuhe smiled more pleasantly, saying in a low voice, “Don’t worry. Even for the sake of a quiet life in the future, I must guarantee that we can enter the hospital and then go back safely.”
Besides, he liked the word “we”.
Di’s and Huangdu’s lawyers arrived subsequently. Assistant Wang also called to tell that the operation was done and Di Bian had been downgraded from critical to serious. But when he could resuscitate depended on the mitigation of his brain congestion, and Qin Li was trying to keep him away.
He Bai thought for a while and allowed assistant Wang to leave, while he went to meet butler Hu Zhao.
The lawyers had been a little panicked when they heard Di Bian’s accident. As Di Qiuhe told them that he was OK now, they all relieved, then turned their eyes to He Bai who was in pajamas. “Hi lawyers, I think you are well aware of why you are here today.” Di Qiuhe stepped forward and stood right front of He Bai. He gave them a slow glimpse and frowned, “You are all the lawyers loyal to my family, right?”
They were shocked by his words and looked at each other, finding that all of them were Di’s lawyers. But Di Qiuhe had few presences at his family and Huangdu, nor did he engage in company stuff. How could he pick out these lawyers so precisely?
Di Qiuhe didn’t wait for their answer and continued, “Before entering the hospital, I would like you to do a thing for me.” The representative lawyer was the first one who saw through the situation. He looked at his colleagues and thought for a while with lowered eyes to cover his concern. Then he stepped forward with more respect, “What’s your order, master?”
Di Qiuhe turned to him and said clearly, slowly, “I want you to call the police. Tell the police that there was a servant abetted by someone to murder my father. He pushed my father over on the stairs. Lawyer Wang, you are my father’s most trusted lawyer, and you must know where to report to the police, right?”
Lawyer Wang was frightened by the question. He now regarded this young master with new eyes. He lowered his head slowly and replied, “Yes, master, I’ll do it now.”
“Thanks.” Di Qiuhe was quite satisfied with his cooperation, and glimpsed at other lawyers who were shocked by his attitude. He made a gesture of invitation and said with politeness, “Lawyers, my father is waiting for you, this way please.”
They dared not to say one more word and followed him.
He Bai watched all this with complicated feelings. The Di Qiuhe in front of him was not the normal Di Qiuhe...He even thought that the current Di Qiuhe was a little bit handsome and ambitious? Not, that must be an illusion.
Di Qiuhe walked after the lawyers and looked at his puppy with care, asking in a low voice, “Are you hungry or cold? I’ll take you to eat something after this.”
He Bai looked at him and shook his head, “Neither. It’s just you were not mild and amiable just now. You frightened them. Be careful.”
Di Qiuhe smiled and said in his familiar annoying tone, “Don’t worry. I’m a professional actor. I can frighten them and also can comfort them. I’m good at it.”
“...Yeah.” ‘It’s definitely his illusion to feel Di Qiuhe handsome.’
Although Di Bian survived, he lapsed into a coma. This result was not bad but also a time bomb that would explode anytime.
“Transfer to another hospital!” Qin MingQiang said with a serious face. He glimpsed at his son and daughter with a twitching face, restrained his anger and felt displeased, said, “This thing must be kept in secret and Di Bian must be controlled! Huangdu doesn’t completely belong to us yet, so he cannot die, but nor can he lead a free life, understood?”
Qin Li turned her eyes away from her father and brother. Her body tautened violently and said, “These things are at your disposal. I have only one request, Qin’s families can be placed in Huangdu, but their family name must be Di! It belongs to my son!”
“Li, What do you mean? Are you indicating that I’ll grab your things?” Qin Rong turned to her with an upset face, full of disbelief. He complained, “For so many years, I cooperate with you and give you advice. You think I do that for whom? Now, Chunhua has made things like this, I...”
“Oh, come on, you are the last one fit to mention Chunhua! If it hadn’t been you...You are a monster!” Qin Li swore at him with some restraint. Her eyes were a little reddish about the rims and could almost ate Qin Rong, “Don’t put on that disgusting show! If Huangdu is not so valuable, why don’t you let it go? Now dad has to worry about all this shit! You are an unworthy son!”
“I...”
“Shut up!” Qin Mingqiang couldn’t hold his anger anymore and interrupted them, “Is it the right time to quarrel? I will have a serious talk with you about this mess later! You two good-for-nothing, I shouldn’t have given birth to you at all! Now go to find your familiar hospital. While Di Qiuhe was not in the know, we have to send Di Bian to...”
“Where do you want to send my father, grandpa Qin?” Di Qiuhe pushed the door open and looked at Di Bian who was in coma, lying in bed. He was relieved that he noticed that Di Bian looked fine. Then he turned to Qin’s families.
“Why are you here?” Qin Li was shocked and stood up, shouted, “Aren’t you filming in district D? Assistant Wang and An just...”
“They don’t know I’m back. It is a coincidence anyway...But that’s not the point. The point is we have to find the murderer who pushed my father over on the stairs. I have ordered Lawyer Wang to call the police on the way to hospital. The police will arrive soon, then please cooperate with them to record testimony and tell them how my father fell over the stairs.” Then he walked to the bed of Di Bian and let the lawyers in. He asked Qin Li as if he had been a worried junior who didn’t know the truth, “Aunt Qin, why hasn’t Chunhua come here? And why did my father tell me he wanted to divorce you? Did you have a quarrel?”
Qin Li was totally frightened by the lawyers and the word “police”. Her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand. But she still put on a domineering manner and asked, “That was an accident. Why did you call the police and bring these lawyers? Do you have to make a chaos in this room?”
“It may be an accident or a murder. Before police give me the definite result, I can only say fifty-fifty.” Di Qiuhe looked directly at her and did not compromise a little, “I have always been staying out of the company stuff and lack experience, so I bring the lawyers to help me. And my father just went through an operation and needs recuperation, can you lower your voice?”
Qin Li was chocked by her own words and was extremely panicked. She couldn’t help turning to Qin Mingqiang. He looked away from the lawyers and gave her a comforting stare.
“Qiuhe, I know you’re filial. You may be flurried right now, so it’s OK to call the police, as long as it can comfort you. Your father is stable now, and it’s getting late, you can go back and have some rest. As for these lawyers...” Qin Mingqiang raised his eyes. Although his expression remained the same, his tone become grave, “It’s not necessary to come here. It’s our family business, we cannot bother them.”
“Why is it just family business?” Di Qiuhe sat by the bed with a vague smile, “Now my father is in coma. Even if he restores consciousness, he still needs time to recover. During this period, who should run Huangdu? Who will be responsible for my father’s case? Who can make the decisions for the proceeding projects in Huangdu? We get so many pending issues, and all of them require lawyers to supervise.”
