Just as Qilian was looking around, Yuan Shutian's hand suddenly came over and hugged his arm.

Qi Lian thought she was awake, and said, "It's me, Qi Lian, are you feeling better?"

Yuan Shutian did not respond, but just held his arms tightly with both hands in a dependent posture, with his eyes still closed.

Qi Lian pulled his arms but couldn't move them.

She held on tightly, as if she was a person drowning in the sea and finally grabbed a piece of driftwood that could save her life.

Qi Lian just laughed to himself.

A woman of this age acts like a child when drunk.

Her personality is very special. She acts maturely, but occasionally shows an innocent side. She is transparent and generous, yet surprisingly tolerant. She is not at all like the majestic elder, nor like the hot-tempered Lin Ning.

He said in a low voice: "You are holding me so tightly, aren't you afraid that I will touch you?"

Yuan Shutian still hasn't woken up.

Or unwilling to wake up.

Qi Lian said again: "Are you thirsty? I'll give you some water."

Yuan Shutian still didn't open his eyes.

Qi Lian said: "If you don't open your eyes, I will take advantage of you?"

Yuan Shutian still didn't respond.

Qi Lian thought that if she had expressed anything further, he would not let the two of them have any regrets today.

But she was sleeping too deeply, and if he took advantage of her, it would seem like a crime.

He steals from the people he should steal from, steals all kinds of secrets, and steals hearts, but he never steals people. Forcing women is not his style, and there is no need for that.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

One sound after another, sounding very anxious.

Qi Lian thought that Lin Ning had come back. Her personality was changeable. Could it be that she regretted her decision?

He used his skillful strength to slowly pull his arm out of Yuan Shutan's hand, put on his clothes, calmed down for a while, put on his mask, and stood up to open the door.

When he opened the door, there were only two bodyguards standing guard outside, but no Lin Ning.

One of the bodyguards quickly observed him and said to him with an embarrassed look, "Sir, according to the time, the elder should be here soon. Please pack up and don't make things difficult for us. He called us a long time ago to ask for the address. We only knocked on the door now to give you time. If Miss Ning asks about it later, please say a few good words for us and don't let Miss Ning blame us."

Qi Lian nodded slightly, "Okay."

It seems that being sandwiched between several people with very different personalities, the bodyguard has also developed a very high emotional intelligence.

A few minutes later, the elder came from afar, leaning on a cane, surrounded by a group of armed guards.

Perhaps because he was afraid of being recognized and damaging his identity, he wore sunglasses on his nose and a mask. However, the sunglasses and mask could not hide his majestic aura.

A group of people came over.

The elder took off his sunglasses, looked at Qi Lian, and asked, "How is Shu Tian?"

Qi Lian said calmly, "Better now."

The bodyguard opened the door with the room card.

The elder walked in and asked, "Where is she hurt?"

Qi Lian replied: "Heart."

The elder was almost furious, thinking that a group of people had conspired to deceive him!

Thinking of Lin Ning's temper and her warning to him, he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

He ordered the doctor he brought over: "Go and give Shu Tian a thorough checkup."

The doctor responded, "Yes, elder."

The doctor walked up to Yuan Shutian with a medical kit in hand. He lifted her eyelids and looked at her eyes, then her lips and teeth. He then checked her wrist and listened to her heartbeat...

After a series of examinations, the doctor put away the stethoscope and said to the elder: "Elder, Miss Shu Tian is just drunk, there is no external injury, don't worry."

The elder frowned, clenched his fists, and said to the doctor, "You go wait outside."

The doctors and guards were ordered to leave.

The door closes.

The elder slowly turned his head, took off the mask on his face, and looked at Qi Lian, "You, follow me to the living room."

Qi Lian responded and walked towards the living room.

The elder closed the bedroom door, walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, raised his eyes and asked him: "Do you know who I hate the most?"

Qi Lian did not sit down, but stood aside and said, "I know. You want to say that you hate people who do not keep their promises the most. However, you should hate the country's parasites the most, not just me. You think the world is peaceful, the country is prosperous and the people are happy, but you don't know that the world is not as peaceful as you think. You have been in a high position for too long and have long lost touch with the ground. When you go down to understand the people's sentiments, you only see what they want you to see. There are many things you cannot see."

The elder frowned, feeling very unhappy, "You are so cunning, you are so good at changing the subject."

Qi Lian took off his mask and said calmly, "I know that what you are most afraid of is my identity, but you don't want to know why I would give up being a good person and become a thief?"

The elder wanted to know, but didn't want to ask too much.

As soon as I asked, he led the rhythm.

This man is far more than just a bandit. He is very smart, and every step and word he takes is scheming.

Getting close to Shu Tian was also deliberate.

If someone else was used so blatantly, they would be furious, but Shu Tian was not angry at all.

This is also his brilliance.

The elder raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling him not to say any more.

He said with a serious face: "I have sent people to investigate Lei Chao's case. Shu Tian is not injured, you can go. I can send people to investigate the case, or I can call a halt. You may have your reasons for being a thief, but a thief is a thief, and you and Shu Tian will have no future. You are a smart person, and I don't want to say anything too harsh, so please take care of yourself."

This was within Qilian's expectations.

He looked towards the bedroom door, then said to the elder, "Take good care of Shu Tian. I'm leaving now."

The elder hummed.

Qi Lian raised his foot and walked towards the door.

The elder stared at his back and spoke again: "Give Xiao Ning a call. You should know what to say."

Qi Lian paused, without turning back, a sneer flashed across his lips.

The filter for the veterans is broken.

It turns out that such a powerful figure also likes to keep secrets.

The superiors concealed the truth, and the subordinates followed suit. They concealed the truth from each other, and no one could see the truth. As a result, people like his parents and sister had no way to seek redress for their grievances, and were persecuted to the point of their families being broken up, some dying, and some going crazy.

In ancient times, people stopped the carriages of emperors to protest for justice. What he is doing now can also be considered as stopping the carriages of emperors to protest for justice. If the result is like this, what about others?

Forget it, let’s solve the case and take revenge first.

Looking back, Qi Lian showed a fake submissive smile on his face, "Okay, elder, I'll listen to you."

Seeing that he had calmed down, the elder waved his hand at him and said, "Go back. Be careful."

Qi Lian responded and put on a mask to hide the true expression on his face.

After leaving the VIP building, get in the car and sit down.

Qi Lian dialed Lin Ning's cell phone number, "Xiao Ning, your grandpa is here at the hot spring villa. I'm going back."

Lin Ning's temper flared up all of a sudden. "What is he going to do now? He doesn't want to be a good grandfather, but insists on being Fahai. He wants to piss me off to death, right?"

Qi Lian said calmly, "Follow him."

Lin Ning was about to explode, but upon hearing this, she calmed down immediately, "You mean..."

"Correct."

Lin Ning laughed out loud, "I thought you were a cowardly scumbag uncle, like my mom's soft-hearted first love, irresponsible, but I didn't expect you to be so courageous. No wonder my mom was so obsessed with you in such a short time, no wonder!"
