...
Deep night, at the Chi family’s.
The ringing of the phone was especially piercing in the quiet room.
The first to open her eyes was Ai Jiang. She looked at the lit phone screen. It was Chi Yao’s phone, with the na "Q" displayed.
Q... could it be the mysterious figure who struck a deal with the Chi family to take down Han Corporation?
While Ai Jiang was staring at Chi Yao’s phone screen lost in thought, Chi Yao was awakened by the ringtone. He picked up his phone, looked at the caller ID, was just about to answer the call when it disconnected automatically. Then, Chi Yao held up his phone and unlocked the screen.
Perhaps because he had just woken up, his speed in entering the six-digit password was a tad slow. Lying beside him, the supposedly sleeping Ai Jiang, she observed his every digit quietly and morally.
Chi Yao then returned the call to Q, which was soon picked up.
Thinking that Ai Jiang was still asleep, Chi Yao didn’t bother getting out of bed, simply sat up leaning against the headboard to take the call.
Even though the phone was not on speaker, in the silence of the night, Q’s voice still clearly reached Ai Jiang’s ears.
Q: "I heard that Xia family’s woman is pregnant?"
"Yes, I saw it on Han Jingnian’s social feed today." Chi Yao yawned, then continued, "Wasn’t it said that this woman would never be able to conceive in this lifeti? How could she be pregnant now?"
Q: "I find it strange too. I’ve had soone constantly administering drugs to her without any interruptions. Technically, she shouldn’t be able to conceive. Moreover, she’s been on long-term dication these past two years and her health must’ve been critically damaged by now. Even if she stops taking the drugs, it’ll be challenging for her to conceive... Anyway, I find this matter suspicious. You must find a way to look into it."
Chi Yao: "I understand. I’m already investigating it. Once I have concrete information, I’ll contact you."
Q: "Hmm... Oh right, there’s another matter. Lu Yangui doesn’t allow her son to get involved with the core operations of Han Corporation. She’d rather not retire than to let her son in control. Others may think of her as power-hungry, but I know her too well. She doesn’t crave power, she simply doesn’t want her son to muddy himself with Han Corporation... So, she must be eager to have Han Jingnian shielding her son. If she learns about the difficulties faced by Xia Family’s woman to conceive, Lu Yangui would definitely not stand by idly... Now that the news about the woman from Xia family being pregnant is out, if it turns out to be a hoax, Lu Yangui would soon know the truth about Xia family’s woman’s health condition, and she definitely would take actions... You better keep a close eye on Lu Yangui, I’ll also ensure Lu Yangui is closely watched. As soon as Lu Yangui makes a move, we can... add fuel to the fire in this matter, and try our best to eliminate the woman from the Xia family from Han Jingnian’s side."
Chi Yao: "I know what to do. You’re right. We should indeed remove the woman from the Xia family... She’s much harder to deal with than we thought... If not for her, our plans to take control of the Han Corporation wouldn’t have been thwarted ti and ti again. Just think about Fan Ming and then Zhou Shan... I just can’t swallow this!"
Soon after, Chi Yao and Q ended the call.
After putting down the phone, Chi Yao laid down. Ai Jiang, who had been eavesdropping on his call with Q, pretended to have just been awakened, she groaned artificially, then snuggled up to Chi Yao.
