Chapter 60: Relic
Shi Qing had also been in a trance for a moment. It was only after Su Yan accidentally touched him that he snapped out of his trance.
“What’s wrong?” Su Yan lowered her head and asked gently when she saw Shi Qing staring at her.
However, she realized that after she asked this question, Shi Qing looked at her with a deeper and deeper gaze.
Su Yan raised her eyebrows and guessed, “Could it be that Lu Yi has some kind of psychological cue? Did you fall for it just now?”
This was just Su Yan’s guess, or perhaps it was more like a joke. However, when Su Yan finished speaking, Shi Qing pursed his lips and lowered his head. It looked like Su Yan had guessed correctly.
Su Yan was shocked. She squatted down and held Shi Qing’s knee. She looked up at Shi Qing’s eyes and asked seriously, “Did Lu Yi really use a psychological cue just now? Could it be that the one who hypnotized me was Lu Yi?”
Shi Qing finally came back to his senses and shook his head. “I don’t know. I will follow Lu Yi’s lead and investigate.”
However, he did not mention what he saw when he was in a daze just now. He just stared fixedly at Su Yan, as if Su Yan would slip away if he was not careful.
“Yeah?”
Shi Qing finally took a deep breath and rolled his wheelchair. He said in a low voice, “Wait here, I’ll go out for some fresh air.”
Su Yan wanted to push Shi Qing away. What kind of joke was this? Shi Qing’s legs were not good, and his eyes were not good either. Why would he go out alone to take a breather? What was there to take a breather for?
The moment Su Yan’s hand touched the handle of Shi Qing’s wheelchair, Shi Qing’s wheelchair moved. “I’m fine, let me be alone for a while.”
Su Yan stared blankly as Shi Qing left. After a while, she scratched her head. “What’s going on?”
Shi Qing was not having a good time either. He called Xu Xin and asked him to push him up onto the rooftop. He sat on a high spot, looking up at the sky and down at the city. Finally, his emotions stabilized.
At that moment, he lost his focus. He seemed to have seen Su Yan die.
Dying in front of him, dying in an elaborate car accident.
At that time, Shi Qing had watched as Su Yan was hit by a car. He had tried his best to run over and push Su Yan away, but his legs weren’t strong enough to support him. In the end, with Xu Xin’s help, he could only sit in the wheelchair and look at Su Yan’s corpse.
Even if nothing had happened, the tragic situation was enough for Shi Qing to empathize with it. Shi Qing could feel the despair, self-blame, and helplessness.
Shi Qing’s back was wet almost instantly.
When he came back to his senses and saw Su Yan standing right in front of him, Shi Qing almost hugged her and said, “It’s great that you’re still alive.”
Shi Qing took a deep breath and instructed Xu Xin, who was beside him, “Find more people to ensure Xixi’s safety.”
Xu Xin immediately felt helpless. Shi Qing had already arranged for Su Yan to have more people by her side, and now he wanted more? However, when he met Shi Qing’s gaze, Xu Xin immediately stood up straight and added more people!
Wasn’t it just a few bodyguards? We can add as many as we want. It would be best to have a reinforced company, so they could form a circle around Su Yan, protecting her in the middle.
Naturally, Shi Qing did not know about Xu Xin’s unconstrained imagination. Under the evening breeze, Shi Qing’s emotions gradually calmed down. Just as Xu Xin heaved a sigh of relief, another person appeared on this normally deserted rooftop.
The newcomer was a young man, about the same age as Shi Qing. However, his aura was not as fierce as Shi Qing, and he looked gentle and harmless.
“Why did President Shi come up to the rooftop at this time? Is our Lu family lacking in hospitality?”
This young man was Lu Yi’s son, the one who watched the surveillance footage with Lu Yi in the study the other day, Lu Ye.
With Xu Xin’s help, Shi Qing turned around and stared straight at Lu Ye with his dark eyes, which gave Lu Ye goosebumps.
“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”
Shi Qing spread out his hands. “There are so many people attending the banquet. Why did Young Master Lu only notice me?”
Putting aside the fact that Lu Ye’s attention was on Shi Qing, just the fact that everyone at the banquet had listened to Lu Yi’s words and were extremely interested in the project that was linked to the government, and the fact that Shi Qing was unmoved at this moment, made him seem a little special.
No matter what the reason was, Lu Ye followed up to take a look.
Lu Ye only replied with a smile, “Master Shi has a noble status, so we naturally have to pay more attention. We can’t neglect our esteemed guest, right?”
Shi Qing did not comment on this and did not say whether he believed him or not. Instead, Lu Ye broke out in a cold sweat. He finally understood why Lu Yi always said that he was not as good as Shi Qing.
At the very least, he could not compare to his aura.
Since he couldn’t compare, Lu Yi had no choice but to move on.
He walked towards Shi Qing and stopped when he was very close to him. Then, he slowly bent down and said in a low voice, “I have Uncle Yun Yi’s relics here. Are you interested?”
