Although it was just homemade explosives, the danger of such a thing appearing on an airplane is self-evident. If it weren't for the slow approval process for private plane routes, it would probably have exploded into fireworks in the sky long ago.
The police conducted a very thorough investigation, even questioning the airport staff. By the time they finished, it was almost evening.
It was Qin Chu who called the police, so Qin Chu stayed longer to give his statement.
Qi Xuan sat in the chair and waited for a while, gently turning his phone with one hand and resting his chin on his other hand, looking up at the young man in the room next to him.
In this environment, the young man showed no fear or the unease one would feel in a police station. He answered the police's questions calmly and methodically, even filling in any details that had been overlooked.
Qi Xuan's lips curled up slightly, and a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
He really hadn't expected this plane incident. After all, he had long since given up on his plan to "kill" himself and wanted to stay alive to spend every day with his beloved Mr. Gift.
He was always meticulous about his travels, and he would definitely double-check the plane before takeoff. This time, the explosives might not necessarily threaten his life. But… wasn't Mr. Gift a little too perceptive about his potential dangers?
For example, the previous incident at the club, the car accident on the road, and this time the tampering on the plane...
After Qin Chu finished giving his statement, Qi Xuan drove Yu (Xi Yidu Jia) back to the villa.
Mr. Qi worked hard as the driver, while Qin Chu swaggered into the back seat.
Midway through the journey, Qi Xuan glanced at the rearview mirror, his eyes crinkling slightly, and asked casually, "How did you suddenly know I was in danger? I was startled when I saw you at the airport."
This is a very dangerous problem.
How did you know in advance that Qi Xuan was going to encounter danger? Are you connected to the Qi family? What is your purpose in staying by Qi Xuan's side?
Normally, Qin Chu would have frowned and thought carefully about how to give a suitable answer.
However, Qin Chu did not answer immediately this time. A notification sound rang in his mind: "Ding, mission progress is 100%. You can choose to leave the world at any time."
Author's Note:
Hehehe, this world will end tomorrow.
Of course, before it's all over, the car will still crash.
Chapter 51, The Third Story (End)
"Sir, should we choose to leave the world now?"
Qin Chu looked at the two options Noah had given him.
The person in front of him was clearly waiting patiently for his reply, but soon Qi Xuan muttered again, "I don't care how you know, but you're not allowed to contact anyone else behind my back."
Qin Chu: "..."
Just as he was about to make a choice, the man raised his voice slightly: "And you are absolutely not allowed to meet with anyone else behind my back!"
After saying that, he glanced at me in the rearview mirror with a squinty look in his eyes and said, "If you want to see me, you can call me. I'll go with you..."
Seeing that he was about to go on and on, Qin Chu's temple veins throbbed, and he kicked the driver's seat: "Drive carefully and watch the road."
After reprimanding the man, Qin Chu asked Noah, "How do we break away now?"
Noah replied, "Normally, to avoid being viewed by the mainframe, the data you're in would be destroyed. Now that I'm in the car, I can change some data and cause a minor car accident to escape successfully."
Qin Chu was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "If the guy in front of us bumps and scrapes a couple of times during the car accident, will the progress bar have to go back again?"
Noah: "...There's a possibility."
Qin Chu wants to dismantle the system again.
The car turned into the villa area. Looking at the villa ahead whose lights were not yet on, Qin Chu thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait for another opportunity."
This wait lasted for several days.
Qi Xuan seemed to have gone mad, wanting to tie Qin Chu to his belt. But that was impossible to do, so in the end, President Qi could only forcibly bind himself to Qin Chu, dutifully acting as a large accessory.
These days, Qi Xuan is either working from home or bringing Qin Chu to the company. He even reserves a seat in the meeting room for Qin Chu to sit and doze off.
Just like now, at the monthly routine meeting at Kaiheng headquarters, the heads of each department take turns pointing to the PowerPoint presentation to report on the work status of the previous month, while Qin Chu sits at the end of the long conference table, expressionless like a supervisor.
Because his expression remained quite serious, he looked more like a CEO than Qi Xuan, the real CEO.
Qin and Chu were indeed "holding a meeting".
In his mind, Noah was reporting on the recent deviation in his character's values and reasonably requesting that he perform the "sharing a bed" task again that night to earn more points.
Qin Chu was getting impatient; he hadn't expected to be subject to this restriction even after completing the mission.
Seeing that Qi Xuan was carefully asking a data question, Qin Chu quietly got up and opened the back door of the conference room.
But before he could even step out the door, the reporting in the conference room stopped, followed by a rustling silence.
Qin Chu turned around speechlessly, and sure enough, a large ornament had been stuck to him again.
Qi Xuan stood behind him and asked, "Where are you going? The air conditioning isn't on outside, why aren't you wearing a coat? Are you thirsty? What would you like to drink? I'll have someone bring it over."
Such attentive behavior silenced the rustling sounds in the conference room, plunging it into an eerie stillness.
If this were within the Qi family, it probably wouldn't be a big deal, as the people there don't really know Qi Xuan. But this is Kaiheng, a company founded by Qi Xuan himself, and the upper management have all worked alongside him for years.
Now, seeing his boss successfully become a lackey, he couldn't help but feel a slightly complicated mix of emotions. Only Li Hui, unfazed, took a sip of water...
Qin Chu also felt a bit suffocated.
He gave Qi Xuan a cool glance and replied, "Go to the restroom."
A normal person would have fallen silent upon hearing this answer, but President Qi was different.
Qi Xuan: "Oh, then I'll go with you."
Qin Chu: "..."
Qin Chu clenched his fingers, really wanting to punch someone.
Unfortunately, due to her character's limitations, she could only let Qi Xuan follow her around like a tail.
With a "snap," the door to the public restroom slammed shut in front of Qi Xuan.
Qi Xuan chuckled: "So domineering? I'd still like to go."
There was no response from inside, but Qi Xuan didn't care and just waited outside like a pervert.
He took out his phone and opened a picture.
The picture shows a handsome young man posing in the sunlight, with slightly wavy chestnut brown hair.
Looking at the young man in the picture, Qi Xuan's lips twitched slightly, and a meaningful look appeared in his eyes.
He tapped his finger, and the name of the picture appeared at the top—Lu Wan.
This photo was actually the screen saver of the phone that Second Young Master Qi gave him. Qi Xuan only glanced at it briefly at the time, assuming it was some celebrity, and didn't pay any attention to it.
But a few days ago, he received detailed information about his Mr. Gift...
Squinting slightly, Qi Xuan opened another individual photo album.
The album contains a young man's sleeping face. The contrast between his jet-black hair and pale skin is striking. Even though the man's eyes are closed, there is still an undeniable sharpness that penetrates the lens, making one's eyes sting.
These are two people with completely different appearances and personalities, yet they share the same name.
Switching back to the picture of the chestnut-haired youth, Qi Xuan leaned against the wall, playing with his phone, but the words Qin Chu had once said flashed through his mind.
“I have no connection with the Qi family. My purpose is to protect Qi Xuan.”
So... the gift his second brother sent was switched halfway through?
Qi Xuan laughed. Coincidentally, he wasn't interested in that Lu Wan at all; he only wanted the one who had been switched.
Just as he was about to delete the photo of the real Lu Wan, Li Hui, who was slacking off, left the meeting room and slowly walked towards the restroom.
"Hey, why is the door closed?" Li Hui turned to open the door and inadvertently saw the photo on Qi Xuan's phone. He immediately laughed, "Boss, your skills are pretty good! You took such a good picture of Mr. Lu!"
The words "Deleted" flashed across the phone screen. Qi Xuan's finger paused slightly. He looked up at Li Hui and asked, "What did you say?"
“Mr. Lu!” Li Hui pointed to the phone screen. “That photo just now, it’s the first time I’ve seen Mr. Lu smile so beautifully.”
Qi Xuan stared at Li Hui with his keenly probing eyes for a while. He pulled up the photo from his recently deleted list and pointed at the person in the photo again, asking, "Who do you see?"
Li Hui was a little confused, but still answered honestly, "Isn't it... Mr. Lu?"
At this moment, Qi Xuan's pupils suddenly darkened, and the center of his iris resembled a bottomless black hole.
He seemed to find it amusing, a slight smile playing on his lips. He then opened the album again, showing Li Hui Qin Chu's sleeping face: "And who do you see in this one?"
Li Hui peeked at the photo and immediately realized it wasn't for him. He quickly pulled his head back: "Boss, stop teasing me. You secretly took a picture of Mr. Lu sleeping, but you don't need to show it to me, do you? This is too much PDA..."
Upon hearing Li Hui's words, Qi Xuan's pupils became even deeper, while the color of his irises lightened accordingly.
His eyes seemed to have broken through a shell, revealing a strange, light, icy blue.
At that moment, Li Hui, who was standing in front of Qi Xuan, felt a little dizzy. Otherwise, how could he have seen his boss's eyes change color?
These eyes are indeed a bit scary. The iris is too light in color, and at first glance it seems to blend into the whites of the eyes, with only a dark black pupil.
Li Hui was so startled that he took a step back. He shook his head and looked again, only to find that he was seeing things. Qi Xuan's eyes were still the usual brownish-black.
"What's wrong?"
Qi Xuan raised an eyebrow and asked him a question, his tone still as lazy as ever, and a casual smile on his lips. Even the scar on his face lay quietly dormant, looking no different from usual.
But Li Hui felt that there was something different about their boss.
He was a bit confused, and even forgot what he had come there for. In a daze, he turned around and went back to the conference room.
In the restroom, Qin Chu was still looking at himself in the mirror with a bitter and resentful expression.
"Is it possible to escape this world here?" Qin Chu asked.
"Of course!" Noah replied cheerfully. He also wanted Qin Chu to leave as soon as possible, otherwise if his persona collapsed and attracted the main brain, the mission in this world would be for nothing.
But before Noah could begin preparations, Qin Chu glanced at the sink, then at the adjacent cubicle, and then at the urinal visible from the entrance, remaining silent for two seconds.
He asked, "If we were to remove this data entity from here, how would it die?"
Noah: "...Did you accidentally fall and die while using the toilet?"
Qin Chu: "..."
General Qin pondered for a moment and said, "Let's forget about it."
Although how gruesome the death of this data entity was after leaving the world had nothing to do with him, but...
