Chapter 389: Chapter 384: Getting Worse and Worse Chapter 389: Chapter 384: Getting Worse and Worse While confirming the goods, Qi Si took an overseas call.
Hearing the Y-country language, Wang Jue perked up his ears to listen.
Faintly hearing the fading voices, Wang Jue’s brows furrowed slightly and he subconsciously looked toward the distant warehouse where Boyuan and Shen Yan were waiting.
Qi Si’s conversation was brief, and he quickly returned to his original position.
“Qi Si,” Wang Jue was staring at Qi Si with a very solemn gaze, his eyes brimming with icy danger, “The Pasino family contacted you, what do they want?”
With an expressionless face, Qi Si replied, “Boyuan knows about this.”
“Huh!” The tense danger on Wang Jue dissipated in an instant, “You could have said so earlier.”
Qi Si glanced at Wang Jue but said nothing and continued to tally items before handing them over to Boyuan.
*
Eager to leave with Shen Yan, Qi Si handed over the front end of the task to Wang Jue and the others.
In a sowhat lackadaisical manner, Wang Jue’s face darkened after Qi Si left, and looking at Boyuan, he asked, “You’ve been in touch with the Pasino family? Boyuan, have you lost your mind? For your Seventh Uncle?”
Boyuan tensed up and remained silent.
“Boyuan, I’m talking to you,” Wang Jue’s dark pupils narrowed, and in one swift movent, he pressed Boyuan up against the shelves behind him, staring him down and poking at the area below his shoulder, “You’re still wearing this skin, can the Chi family afford it?”
“Let go.”
Boyuan glanced at him dismissively.
“Make it clear, what exactly are you trying to do,” Wang Jue tightened his grip, his presence increasing.
“It’s not what you think,” Boyuan sighed, “The grudge for my Seventh Uncle must be avenged. Wang Jue, if it were you, what would you do?”
“I didn’t tell you to endure, I’m asking about your contact with Pasino, do you both think you can fool , take for a fool?” Wang Jue laughed in anger, “Don’t fucking change the subject.”
“…Contacting the Pasino family was just an accident, there’s been no deep interaction. What are you worried about, I won’t take off this skin and compete with you for underworld status.” Boyuan patted his hand, “You can let go now.”
Wang Jue cursed, “You think I want to deal with the two of you, this thankless job.”
“Wang Jue, I won’t go down that path,” Boyuan saw him like this and also laughed along, “You’re becoming more and more like an old matron.”
“Fuck off,” Wang Jue flung away Boyuan’s hand, “Hurry up with the shipnt and get lost. I don’t want to see you two right now, just scram.”
Boyuan watched him take out a cigarette, shrugged his shoulders, and left with his people to take delivery of the goods.
Wang Jue took several harsh drags, choked on it himself, and let out a few curses before getting into the car.
“Lord, a call ca in from overseas inquiring about your next schedule.”
Wang Jue squinted his eyes and dialed an overseas number on his phone, speaking German.
“Yes, the Pasino family… I understand, thank you very much. Once I’m in D-country, I’ll contact you again.”
*
At the Chi family.
Boyuan had just delivered the goods to the relevant departnt and returned to the Chi family ho when he saw Old Master Chi’s bodyguard signaling him to co over.
Boyuan buttoned up his military uniform and straightened his attire before striding over to see Old Master Chi.
Old Master Chi looked at his upright grandson walking in, and his stern face softened a bit, “Have you received it?”
“It has been delivered.”
“There’s a problem down south, you take people there.”
Boyuan was stunned, “Grandfather?”
“I’ve applied for a short mission for you, go ahead.”
“Yes.”
“The details of the mission will be delivered to you, depart in two hours.”
“Yes, the mission will be completed.”
*
Not long after Boyuan left, his father appeared. Mr. Chi sat silently there, and suddenly, he felt that the old man’s figure had bent a lot more over the past few months.
“Dad.”
“He’s been in contact with the Qi Family’s kid too often, and the noise he’s making overseas is a bit too much. I worry he might stray down the wrong path, so I want him to go south and see for himself what those at the forefront of this era of peace are enduring…”
After a mont of silence, Mr. Chi said, “Qi Si and Boyuan are friends. Qi Si appears cold and ruthless, but he places great value on his friendships with a few people. He likely wouldn’t take that step.”
Old Master Chi squinted his eyes, “As long as the Qi Family kid abides by the rules, it’s fine. If he doesn’t, it will put Boyuan in a tough spot.”
Struck by a thought, Mr. Chi said, “The last escort mission Boyuan took over encountered a serious problem, but I heard from Boyuan that it was Qi Si who helped recover the situation.”
“Don’t think that just because I’m old and not managing affairs anymore, I don’t know anything,” Mr. Chi’s eyes were piercing, as if he could see through people’s hearts, “I have heard a bit about the Research Institute.”
Mr. Chi said “It’s not the subsequent reactions caused by that issue, Dad. Boyuan did it for Little Seven…”
Old Master Chi closed his eyes, the pain of losing his younger son was greater for him than for anyone else, and he hated those who were responsible for his son’s death more than anyone else.
Therefore, when Chi Boyuan did those things, he hadn’t tried to stop him.
“Regarding the Qi Family kid, the Chi Family owes him a favor. When the ti cos, give him a hand.”
Mr. Chi let out a sigh of relief. He had been worried that the old master would make his son cut ties with Qi Si.

Shen Yan looked back at Qi Si who had just put down his phone, noticing a slight change in his expression, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” Qi Si had just received a call from Chi Boyuan.
He said he had taken on a mission and wouldn’t be in Beijing for a short while.
They had just finished exchanging their goods, and Chi Boyuan had left on a mission. It hadn’t seed like a big deal at first, but there was sothing amiss in Boyuan’s words.
Qi Si’s keen senses had picked up on sothing.
Shen Yan lowered her gaze to the slender, large hand holding hers, rubbing it gently, and didn’t say anything.
He clearly had sothing on his mind.
“I might be back late tomorrow,” Shen Yan thought about the gathering and inford Qi Si in advance.
“Is the research task that demanding?” Qi Si’s brows seed to furrow.
Shen Yan shook her head, “It has reached a certain stage by now, and it should be almost finished in a few days.”
She had deliberately delayed, knowing that if it were just up to her, she could have produced new results within a few days.
“Don’t overwork yourself.”
“I know my limits. It’s just the big shots at the Research Institute holding a gathering—they’re bringing along to broaden my horizons.”
Qi Si paused briefly, glanced at Shen Yan, and said, “I won’t bother you tonight then.”
“…” Shen Yan stared at him.
With such a serious deanor, she thought he had sothing important to say…
Seeing the bemused look on Shen Yan’s face, a hint of amusent seed to flicker in Qi Si’s eyes.
Shen Yan glared at him with annoyance, “Mr. Qi, you’re really becoming more and more improper.”
Qi Si’s eyes and eyebrows softened!
*
The next day.
Qi Si dropped Shen Yan off at the Research Institute and watched her walk inside, then swept his gaze to the side.
Shen Ning’s car turned and drove in as well.
Seeing Shen Ning, Qi Si’s expression briefly stalled; he seed to catch on to sothing but then appeared as if nothing had happened.
Shen Ning’s car stopped directly ahead of Shen Yan’s.
Surprised, Shen Ning parked her car across Shen Yan’s path and, although it was unexpected, she still got out: “Shen Yan.”
When calling Shen Yan’s na, Shen Ning always felt a strange sensation.
Thinking of her sister, who had chosen not to co back to see them for years because of her life abroad, Shen Ning felt sowhat angry.
Angry that Shen Yan suddenly went overseas, and why, after several years, she caused an incident of life or death uncertainty…
