Chapter 253: Decadence
After entertaining the person in charge of a consortium in the United States, Qi Chu was already drunk to seven points, seeing that the time was not early, and was about to leave, but when he didn't want to leave, he met a friend in the corridor of the club who thought he hadn't seen him for a long time, and after chatting for a while, he learned that his friend had now opened a securities company on Wall Street, and he had made a lot of money in the global financial rejuvenation over the years.
"Qi Shao, it's rare to meet today, go in and have two drinks." Qi Chu was pulled into the luxury box by his friends, and he didn't know how much he drank, but the more he drank, the more he lamented the impermanence of life, and he couldn't help but think of the years when they were abroad.
At the age of eighteen, full of enthusiasm, and bent on wanting to make a break in that world, he, they, He Xiaowen, Gu Xueren, Qin Shaoyang-
Once, they were blocked in the Chinese town by the local white gang leader, and were almost killed, just when he thought he was going to confess this time, Qi's father made a phone call to make the whole street impassable, but Qi's father did not let people do it, but sincerely called the leader, "You let them go, I promise that you will not see him on your own territory in the future." β
The white leader asked disdainfully, "Who are you?" β
"I'm Qi Chu's father." Subsequently, Qi's father asked him to put a box of dollars in front of him, "I only have one son, so no matter what, I must take him away today." β
The white leader saw that the situation was not in his favor, picked up the box of money, and immediately agreed: "Okay, discipline your son well in the future, if I see him here in the future, don't blame me for being rude!" β
"Don't worry, I will do what I say!"
When leaving, Qi Chu and his friends were taken away by ambulance, pressing the wounds on his body, blood kept oozing out from his fingers, "This line, how many people from the Qi family were taken away back then, this line is not as beautiful as you think-"
Father Qi took the gauze from the nurse's hand and skillfully wrapped around his wound, "If you want to be beautiful, then others will have to die without a place to bury - for decades, your great-grandfather, grandfather, and I have spent many years pulling the Qi family out of this quagmire." β
The next day, the headline in the local newspaper shocked the world when a certain gang leader was shot and killed on the way home, and was shot dozens of times in the body.
According to the police investigation, the murderer should be a professional killer, and the deceased still had a box of dollars beside him, and since that time, Qi Chu has returned to school and studied hard.
Since that time, Qi Chu has understood a truth, that is, do not be merciful to your enemies, and do not be cruel to those you love.
In the early morning, Qi Chu was sent back to the Qi family's old house by bodyguards. Father Qi was still waiting for him, "Why did you come back so late?" The child has been waiting for you for a long time and is only falling asleep now. β
"Meet a friend." Qi Chu slurred his words and replied, "Do you have something to ask me?" Father Qi originally wanted to talk to him, but seeing that his steps were unsteady and he couldn't speak clearly, he could only wave his hand, "You go and rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." β
Qi Chu returned to the room, and as soon as he took off his coat, Yin Qi walked in, his soft forehead, and his brain, which was paralyzed by alcohol, began to hurt, "Dad woke you up?" β
"Dad, I'm waiting for you."
In the room, mixed with the smell of alcohol, stimulating people's sense of smell, Yin Qi slowly walked to his side, with a pair of immature hands, picked up his coat, stepped on the sofa, and stood on tiptoe to hang the coat well.
At this time, Yin Qi also saw the bright red lipstick mark on his neckline, "Dad, when will Mom come back?" Where have you been today? What was done? β
It's this problem again, if he knows, he doesn't have to be so annoyed, "Yin Qi, Dad promised you that he would let Mom come back as soon as possible." β
Yin Qi shook his head, "Dad, since Mom left, you got drunk every day and came back very late-"
As if he was talking about his heart, Qi Chu pulled his arm, and his anger could no longer be suppressed, "Do you think that Dad is useless and has no way to save your mother?" β
Yin Qi struggled, "Dad, you have become very vexatious now, and Mom must not want to see you like this!" β
Qi Chu let go of the child and said coldly: "Since that's the case, why do you bother to ask me again!" β
"Daddyβ"
"Okay, I'm tired, if I have something to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
Qi Chu sat on the bed tiredly, rubbing his eyebrows, his headache made his thoughts chaotic, Yin Qi saw his tired appearance, and used his little brain to think about the lipstick mark on his collar, trying not to let himself say the words that made him even more sad.
Yin Qi clasped his hands tightly, "Okay, Dad, good night, I hope you must save my mother!" I also hope you don't let your mother see you like this! β-
Qi Chu loosened the two shirt buttons, only to find the lipstick marks on his neckline, he couldn't remember when those women approached to leave these dirty marks, remembering the vulgar faces of those women in the clubhouse, he wiped them in disgust, and finally decided to throw the shirt into the trash.
The button was unbuttoned, and he vaguely heard a faint cry coming from next door, "Yin Qi? Qi Chu shouted, "Are you crying?" After waiting for a long time, there was no response from the next door, he began to worry, walked out unsteadily, and walked outside the door of Yin Qi's room, he really damned, the child is so sensible, he is such a big person, and let the child worry about himself, promised Wanwan to take good care of the child, but did not fulfill his responsibility, threw the child to Qi's father, and he was confused every day.
"Yin Qi?"
Yin Qi didn't answer, he pushed the door open, there was no one in the room, seeing the light in the game room, he pushed the door, but the inside was obviously locked, "Yin Qi, what's going on?" β
Yin Qi's immature voice came, "It's okay." β
"You're crying? I'm sorry, Dad didn't mean to. β
"Don't worry about it, I want my mother!" Yin Qi said loudly.
Qi Chu pushed the door hard, "Yin Qi, open the door!" The child still did not answer, and the crying was intermittent.
Qi Chu was impetuous, kicked open the door of the game room, and when the door was opened, in the bright room, Yin Qi squatted in the corner, holding the solder paste in both hands, staring at the big eyes in disbelief, and there were residual tears on his face, "Mom must have asked you to take good care of me, but Dad, you drink every day, and you drink so late, so that I and my grandfather worry about you." β
Qi Chu was really drunk, his head was dizzy, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
After a while, Qi Chu walked over, "I'm sorry." β
Yin Qi wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand, "You shouldn't say sorry to me, you should say it to grandpa, you should say it to mom." β
Qi Chu held up the child's little face and hugged him up, "Dad knows it's wrong, Dad promises you that you will never drink again in the future, and you won't come back so late." β
Distressedly, he hugged the child in his arms, "Yin Qi, it won't be long before we can go and bring our mother back." β
"Really?" Yin Qi exclaimed excitedly, "Really? "Really." Qi Chu nodded solemnly.
- The next day, early in the morning, when Father Qi went downstairs, Qi Chu was already sitting in the dining room reading the newspaper, his face was a little pale, after Father Qi sat down, he glanced at his face, and there was only the shrill sound of newspapers in the air, "Your face is not very good, drinking so late every day, it is not good for your health, remember to go to the doctor for examination." β
Qi Chu stared intently at the newspaper in his hand, "I know." β
Not long after breakfast, Qi Chu's mobile phone rang, picked up the phone, got up and walked outside, and said as he walked: "Well, it's meβsomething?" β
ββββ
"I'm at home."
ββββ
"Really? Are you sure of the accuracy of this message? β
This call was made for a long time, and when Qi Chu came back, Yin Qi had just finished drinking a large glass of milk, Qi Chu gave the housekeeper a look, and the housekeeper asked the maid to send Yin Qi another glass of milk.
Without waiting for Qi Chu to sit down, Qi's father did not shy away from asking: "Whose phone is it?" β
Qi Chu's face did not change, "A friend, I am going to the United States for a while to take care of myself, and Yin Qi." β
"When are you leaving?"
Qi Chu looked at his watch, "I'll go pack my things, I should be able to catch the earliest flight to the United States." β
"In such a hurry?"
"Well, something went wrong with the program in the U.S., and this project is very important to me."
Father Qi said in a stiff tone, "Be careful. In fact, Qi's father knew what he was doing in the United States.
"You don't have anything to tell me?"
Father Qi picked up the newspaper and said solemnly: "I'll take care of Yin Qi, you can do your own thing." β
When leaving, Father Qi looked at Qi Chu's face, "I don't have anything to say about the Liang family, but I want to tell you that you will leave a line in your work and see you in the future." β
Qi Chu shook his head, "Don't persuade me, I've been waiting for the opportunity for so long, I'll take it, so that he won't have a chance to turn over in the future." β
"Liang Feifan is also for his daughter." Father Qi's words were a little abrupt.
Qi Chu was not surprised, "Then I am also for the woman I love, even if it is my fault, he should come at me, he should not attack my woman, although Wanwan is not in danger now, but for so long, I have always felt that my wife was blackmailed only because I was useless, Dad, do you understand my feelings?" β
"In the past few months, I have also been very distressed to see you become like this, but thinking of what Wanwan did for you, I feel that I was selfish to stop you like that at that time, I shouldn't have promised Liang Feifan to let you marry Zhen'er, it was my fault." Qi Chu smiled faintly, "Dad, don't say that, it's useless for me, but I will definitely not let him go this time!" β
Father Qi patted him on the shoulder, "Liang Feifan is a good person, I know that as long as he steps into the field of finance, he will not be your opponent - if there is anything, I still hope that you can remember the friendship between our two families for decades and be merciful." β
"Dad, don't worry, I know it's time to do this, I'm not a kid anymore, I'll remember what you said."
A long time ago, Qi Chu knew that the Liang family and the Qi family had a past that could not be revealed, and the wealth of the Liang family was accumulated on crime, but Liang Feifan's humiliation this time made him unable to help but kill him.
