1450 Qi Zhenbai Wakes Up (1)

When the old man asked this probing question, Fourth Brother Qi almost blurted out that it was the Zhuang family’s ancestor and Zhuang Yanru. However, he still had some brains. Firstly, Zhuang Yanru had repeatedly told him to keep it a secret and not divulge anything. Secondly, Fourth Brother Qi still felt that his old man was more biased toward Qi Zhenbai, that rascal. He immediately hid his thoughts and made things up. “Dad, I was lucky before and happened to do that expert a favor. I received guidance from that expert, but he left after giving me some pointers! I don’t know who he is exactly or where he is now.”

Old Master Qi didn’t believe his fourth son’s words at all, to say nothing of the loopholes in his story. It was fine for fooling outsiders, but to fool him, this excuse was too childish.

After all, how could he not know what his fourth son’s character was like? He had watched his fourth son grow up – even when this kid was five or six years old, he had already clearly seen how this kid would bully others in the future.

Could he believe that this kid would take the initiative to help others one day without any thought of how it could benefit him?

!!

The more Old Master Qi thought about it, the angrier he got. This animal was heartless and unscrupulous, and even dared to deceive his father. He had actually raised such a cold and heartless piece of trash.

His fourth son wasn’t overly smart, but what brains he did have, he used them to act against his family. It could be said that Fourth Brother Qi’s actions this time had crossed Old Master Qi’s bottom line.

Old Master Qi didn’t speak as Fourth Brother Qi rambled on. He stared fixedly at Fourth Brother Qi with a sharp, indiscernible expression. Fourth Brother Qi broke out in a cold sweat and his face turned pale for fear that the old man in front of him had seen something.

Fourth Brother Qi was quite glad that he had called Zhuang Yanru earlier. She had enlightened him, which was why he was able to keep his head down in front of the old man. At the same time, he clearly understood that the old man couldn’t blame him for moving the ancestral grave, no matter what. Even if some other expert gave Old Master Qi different advice, as long as Fourth Brother Qi insisted that he had done it for the good of the family and didn’t know anything else, the old man wouldn’t be able to blame him for Qi Zhenbai’s death.

The more Fourth Brother Qi thought about it, the more determined he became. It was just that the old man’s gaze was too sharp. Even if Fourth Brother Qi had the confidence, he didn’t dare meet the old man’s gaze at all. His eyes darted around, before he gritted his teeth and squeezed out with difficulty, “Dad, why aren’t you saying anything? What on earth did Celestial Master Zhang say? If moving the ancestral grave of our Qi family really is harmful to Zhenbai’s health, I’ll arrange for it to be moved back to its original location immediately!”

After a pause, Fourth Brother Qi deliberately added, “It’s just that it’s such a pity for such a good…!”

Before he could finish speaking, he looked up and saw the old man’s incomparably cold and sharp gaze once more. There was no warmth in those fierce eyes. Fourth Brother Qi froze, thinking that he had said too much to arouse suspicion.

He was still going to try and salvage the situation, when there was a sudden anxious knock on the door at that moment. Before the old man said anything, his eldest son, who was outside, couldn’t wait. He called out anxiously and excitedly, “Dad, Zhenbai is awake. Zhenbai is awake!”

When Father Qi’s words entered the ears of Old Master Qi and Fourth Brother Qi, they reacted differently. Compared with the Qi family patriarch’s incomparable excitement, his fourth son’s face visibly froze. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, and his face was no longer as relaxed as before. It was stiff and unsightly, like that of a clown. He blurted out in shock, “How is that possible?”

Fourth Brother Qi’s manners and expression were truly too unsightly. Before Old Master Qi hurriedly got up and left, he took in Fourth Brother Qi’s obvious, ugly expression. Old Master Qi’s expression turned black, and the elation and excitement on his face immediately disappeared completely. He asked coldly and deliberately, “What? Are you unhappy that Zhenbai woke up?”

As soon as Old Master Qi said that, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over Fourth Brother Qi’s head in the dead of winter, and he sobered up completely. Only then did he realize that his reaction just now had been too obvious. His heart thumped, and he was afraid that the old man would see something. With a guilty expression, he hurriedly expressed his loyalty. “Dad, how… how is that possible? I’m Zhenbai’s uncle. How can I not be worried about Zhenbai? I just… when I heard the good news from Big Brother…”

Unfortunately, the Qi family patriarch didn’t have time to listen to his fourth son’s nonsense at all, nor did he have time to put on a show with him. Before Fourth Brother Qi could finish speaking, he saw his old man hurriedly follow his eldest brother out of the study.

Fourth Brother Qi stared at the backs of the old man and Father Qi as they left, his face filled with unwillingness. In particular, when he saw the excitement and anxiety on the old man’s face, he felt very indignant and furious. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this old man was too biased.

Since this old man was biased, don’t blame him fighting for power and benefits. Similarly, don’t blame him for being ruthless. Thinking this, a ruthless glint flashed in the fourth son’s eyes.

On the way to see Zhenbai, Old Master Qi repeatedly asked Father Qi excitedly if Zhenbai had really woken up. After receiving confirmation from Father Qi, Old Master Qi was overjoyed and happy, and said, “good, good” countless times.

Just as he arrived at Zhenbai’s bedroom, Old Master Qi received a call. It was mainly a report on the ancestral grave, and he was told that it had just been moved back to its original location.

When Old Master Qi received this call, he couldn’t help but wonder. As soon as the ancestral grave was moved back, Zhenbai immediately woke up. It could be seen that moving the ancestral grave really had affected Zhenbai.
