Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Spring Has Arrived, It’s the Season for Everything to Revive Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Spring Has Arrived, It’s the Season for Everything to Revive Pei Yao spoke with conviction, “I am sure, after all, your second brother is not like ordinary patients. Every piece of his information, even a single hair plucked from his body, is recorded and kept.”
There were secrets within Lu Zhanxing’s body to safeguard him. To prevent any unforeseen consequences, every ti he went to the hospital for a check-up, soone specially sealed away his dical records to ensure they wouldn’t accidentally fall into the wrong hands.
Qiao Yun pondered for a mont and then asked, “The blood, is it real?”
“This…” Pei Yao faltered, not having considered this possibility before, “I am not sure.”
Qiao Yun’s tone was inexplicably nonchalant as she responded.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Pei Yao asked, “Boss, what are you investigating this for? Does it have sothing to do with the organization?”
“If I want to investigate, I will.”
Qiao Yun was not sure if it was related to the person she suspected, so she didn’t share her guess with Pei Yao, not wanting to cause panic and disrupt their operations.
Gathering her thoughts, she inquired about so matters concerning the institute.
Pei Yao told Qiao Yun that the institute had been doing well recently, as their “Shield” was so effective that not even a fly’s leg could penetrate it.
However, it was strange that since the Zhou Family’s incident, the organization that had been targeting them seed to have disappeared, which made Pei Yao feel uneasy.
“I always have this feeling of the calm before the storm,” Pei Yao sighed deeply.
Qiao Yun wasn’t worried at all; she would rather have the organization co to their doorstep and deal with them so that they couldn’t trouble her.
Later, Qiao Yun instructed Pei Yao to check if the blood was indeed Lu Zhanxing’s just as she was about to end the call.
“Er…”
Pei Yao suddenly interrupted Qiao Yun’s action to hang up, seeming hesitant yet desperate to speak, finally saying, “Be careful with your safety.”
Qiao Yun’s expression softened, “I know.”
As Pei Yao looked at the disconnected call, a chill ran down his spine.
“Damn, this is the first ti I’ve kept sothing from Professor Qiao. If she finds out later, will I be kicked out of the family?”
Just before bed, Qiao Yun suddenly received a video call from Li Hanzhou.
She hesitated for only a few seconds before answering.
“Is sothing the matter?”
In the video, the man stood by a window, wearing only a bathrobe, his damp, tousled bangs draping softly over his forehead, softening the sharp lines of his face.
He looked at Qiao Yun, who was buried under the blankets revealing only a pair of clear eyes, and smiled, “Can’t I contact you if there’s nothing wrong?”
“No,” answered Qiao Yun obediently, “You can, but it’s my bedti.”
Li Hanzhou lifted his hand to brush away the strands of hair over his lashes and said with a smile, “I just wanted to say goodnight.”
As Qiao Yun t his deep gaze, her face inexplicably felt a bit hot. She asked, “Can’t you sleep?”
“Mhm.”
Li Hanzhou responded nonchalantly.
Qiao Yun’s eyes sparkled slightly, “Should I tell you a bedti story?”
She hadn’t told anyone a bedti story before and was a little excited to try it.
Eager to talk more with Qiao Yun, Li Hanzhou agreed, “Okay.”
Under Li Hanzhou’s gaze, Qiao Yun narrated fluently about the formation of the universe, the laws of the universe, the relativity theory in the universe…
Li Hanzhou, forced to treat astronomical knowledge as a bedti story: “…”
Li Hanzhou tily stopped Qiao Yun from continuing the lecture, “You should go to sleep.”
Qiao Yun glanced at the ti, indeed it was ti to sleep, she earnestly said, “If you can’t sleep, find . I’ll tell you a bedti story.”
Li Hanzhou really wanted to tell Qiao Yun, this isn’t called a bedti story, it’s called a nightmare for many people.
However, seeing the corners of Qiao Yun’s eyes curved, and she felt pleased over such a trivial matter, his eyes softened, and in a deep voice he coaxed, “Okay.”
Qiao Yun’s gaze fell into his eyes, which seed to be sprinkled with fine starlight. She was slightly startled and then slowly buried herself into the blanket.
The feeling Li Hanzhou gave her just now was a bit strange.
If Pei Ya were here, he would definitely tell Qiao Yun that the hormonally explosive yet unfulfilled Li Fox was just experiencing the onset of spring, the season when all things revive.
…
Although Qiao Yun wanted to dismantle the organization thoroughly, she still had to go to school beforehand.
As it was a critical ti in her senior year, the second half of the sester started earlier than usual, and at the sa ti, the Zhou Family’s affairs had also been completely resolved.
The Zhou Family had a large number of criminals arrested, and the old master Zhou, having avoided calamity due to being paralyzed from a stroke, seed not to have many days left to live.
Qiao Yun didn’t care about the Zhou Family’s affairs, but Pei Ya gloated for several days.
On the first day of school, Lu Zhanxing, after arguing his case, finally won the right to take Qiao Yun to school.
When Qiao Yun first ca back, he wasn’t attentive to this younger sister, so he didn’t co back imdiately, which he always regretted.
Fortunately, he had shifted his work focus back to Shangjing City recently, giving him plenty of ti to spend with his sister.
Different from last ti, when Qiao Yun ca to the class this ti, not only was nobody ostracizing her, but people even wished they could share a desk with her. Her classmates’ enthusiastic gaze almost made Qiao Yun think they were looking for trouble.
Of course, Qiao Yun ended up choosing to sit with Xia Ling, who was now her friend.
The classmates could only retract their gaze in disappointnt.
At the ti of school dismissal, just as Qiao Yun was about to get into Zhou You’s car, a car horn sounded nearby. She instinctively turned her head and saw Qiao Xun smiling at her. When he saw her looking, he raised his hand to wave at her.
Qiao Yun pursed her lips and walked over to Qiao Xun, her voice tenderly asking, “Uncle, are you looking for ?”
Qiao Xun, looking at Qiao Yun in her school uniform, teased, “This is the first ti I’ve seen you in a school uniform. You finally look a bit like a little girl.”
“Hmm,” Qiao Yun’s attitude was sowhat cold, her bland gaze fixed on Qiao Xun.
Qiao Xun felt sothing was amiss but didn’t think too deeply. He explained, “I just happened to be passing by, so I ca to see you and also to tell you sothing. This Friday, Qi Sheng’s grandson is having his full-month celebration. Do you want to go?”
Qiao Yun didn’t answer imdiately. Her clear, distinct eyes didn’t move away from Qiao Xun.
Qiao Xun slightly frowned, feeling a chill down his spine from her stare, and swallowed before asking, “Qiaoqiao, is there sothing wrong?”
Qiao Yun lowered her gaze, gently shook her head, and asked in an even tone, “Uncle, do you want to go?”
Qiao Xun unconsciously replied, “Grandpa Qi and your grandfather were good friends. Qi Sheng even helped you manage an entertainnt company. They have been so good to you; you should go see them.”
Qiao Yun slowly nodded, “I will go.”
Qiao Xun, seeing the pure and clear gaze of Qiao Yun, a hint of apology flashed in his gentle eyes, then quickly vanished as he smiled, “I’ll pick you up then.”
Qiao Yun humd again, and after getting into the car, she watched the scenery swiftly passing by.
She sent a ssage to Pei Ya.
[Grandpa Qi’s grandson’s full month?]
[Ah, yes, they invited you. I was going to tell you about it later.]
[Oh.] Qiao Yun replied to Pei Ya with a calm expression, [I might not be able to make it.]
