Chapter 36

Once the immune system resumed its work, the improvement of her condition was fast, the trauma on her leg was serious but it didn’t affect Qingli’s mental state, even though she was so thin that she was sickly, her eyes had become bright and glowing.

After being hospitalized for seventeen days, she was finally able to be discharged from the hospital, and Yue Zhi came back a few times in the middle of the day and flew to the Arabian Peninsula again before he had a chance to visit her in the hospital.

Qing Li touched her calf through a thin layer of gauze to relieve the itching caused by the wound healing, looked at her cell phone, hesitated to send a message to Yue Zhi to report that she had been discharged from the hospital.

As a result, she has not opened the dialog box of Yue Zhi, she received a message from the other side: [After discharge from the hospital, go home, don’t move, pay attention to rest].

Qing Li looked at the message, the heart if there seems to be no loss instantly disappeared, put away the cell phone.

Menggema pushed her out of the hospital to the parking lot, “Although there are not many people in the base, but we intend to give you a discharge party in the banquet hall, oh, a lot of you can’t eat can’t drink, you’ll be sitting in a wheelchair in the sidelines to watch on the line.”

Qingli was speechless, “You guys are just looking for an excuse to trash Mr. Bar.”

“That’s right, you’re just a cute mascot, so just get out of the person, I’ve already instructed the kitchen to prepare a sick meal for you.” Montgomery pushed her wheelchair along as fast as she could, obviously unable to wait.

Qing Li sighed, “At least give me a jug of freshly squeezed orange juice.”

They took a car from the hospital to Yue’s first, and then took the helicopter back, Singapore is small enough that the distance is not far, even so, Qingli still noticed something.

“Is there a car that has been following us?” Qing Li raised her eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror.

Next to her, Montgomery was calm, “Just get used to it.”

“Is there no problem on the gentleman’s side?” The four people in these two cars including her were nothing more than Yue Zhi’s bodyguards when all was said and done, Qing Li felt that their car was being followed, and the other party was definitely still rushing towards Yue Zhi.

“Don’t worry, West Pole took fifteen people, the other side is fine as long as they don’t send a small detachment from the army.” Menggema said.

The car arrived at Yue’s downstairs, Qing Li saw Ganojin’s figure from afar.

“Just work well, I’m fine here.” Qing Li was a bit helpless, helping Ganojin get out of the car, waiting for Menggema to take the wheelchair, “The wounds are all healed on the outside, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome.”

“If it wasn’t too much trouble, I would have followed you back to the manor to live.” Kanojin said, “But I live in the company now, and I can see you often, it’s much better than before.”

He helped Aonashi into the wheelchair and headed inside the company with a few of the Mongoma.

“Here, your mail, another one arrived pretty much yesterday, I brought them all for you.” Kanojin handed Aonashi two mails.

Qing Li took a look, is two specially used to contain paper documents of the kind of thick paper bag mail treasure, pinch thin, looks like it did not contain a few pages of things, she looked at the address above, the sender only wrote to a certain district of Bandung, Indonesia, there is no more detailed, the phone also at a glance is a virtual number.

She knew who this was from, and wanted to throw it away immediately, but she was afraid that Gano would really get suspicious, after all, the other party didn’t know about her encounter with Ching Sodi last time she went to Manila, so she could only casually tuck the two document bags into her carry-on bag for the time being.

“Sister, what is it? It doesn’t look like something that was purchased online.” Kanojin asked curiously.

“It’s nothing, it’s the documents I collected for mister.”

This sentence was really full of loopholes, how could Yue Zhi have any documents that she needed to collect on his behalf, everyone present knew that she was deliberately hiding something, but no one said anything.

They went straight to the tarmac on the roof of the building, Qing Li instructed Gano Zhen a few more times before taking the helicopter back to the manor.

“Has Mister been busy lately?” Aonashi couldn’t help but ask Mongoma, “When will he be back?”

“I don’t know, to say the least, I’m the one who thinks he’s acting a bit idle and excessive when he’s in front of you, this kind of being so busy that his feet don’t touch the ground and he’s flying in the sky all day long is his normal working condition.” Mongoma was curious, “Do you think he’s the boss so he can do nothing? Even if there really is a boss like that, it’s definitely not Yue Zhi, he’s a hands-on type.”

Qing Li froze, right, she seemed to subconsciously really feel that Yue Zhi was not a very busy person, why?

Could it be because Yue Zhi was always around her a lot?

It had been like this since she passed the examination, obviously during her first two years of training period, it was not uncommon for her to not see each other for months.

The last moment of the end of the examination, when she was kidnapped in Manila, when she was working as a bodyguard for Lin Caiyue, when she was injured and sobered up for the first time in the hospital, Yue Zhi was by her side, and during these months, she and Yue Zhi had never been separated for so long.

It has been almost twenty days ……

Arrived at the manor, Qing Li have not even had time to take a breath, was directly pushed to the banquet hall by Menggema, inside the base of the mercenary corps members are only six or seven people, the rest are all around the manor just happen to rotate the senior bodyguard, we are also familiar with each other, so came, the most important thing is that they all think that there are many people lively, the wine this thing is not a person to drink.

Aonashi was sitting in a wheelchair, placed right in front, holding a bucket of freshly squeezed orange juice of more than a thousand milliliters, acting as a qualified mascot, worthy of the name of the event, “Aonashi’s discharge party”.

Out of the blue, she lifted her cell phone to record a video of men drinking and playing cards, and sent it to Yue Zhi, the other party seems to be in Dubai today, and it should be …… three or four o’clock in the afternoon, so it’s okay, fortunately, did not disturb the other party’s rest.

Yue Zhi quickly returned the message: [Let Menggema call me].

Alas?

Qing Li looked somewhat apologetically at Menggema, had she screwed the other party over?

When Menggema was told to call Yue Zhi, his face turned black, his beard seemed to be drooping, the others also looked at the door with an expression of “I have to go beforehand”, the banquet hall which was still very noisy suddenly fell to a deafening silence.

“Hey, boss.” Montgomery said, and he was close enough that Aonashi could hear the voice on the phone.

“Drink as much wine as you want, as long as there are no work assignments anyone can come, first send Ah Li back to rest, no need to put her out there as an excuse.”

Qing Li listened to Yue Zhi’s hazy distorted voice, that familiar itchy feeling in her heart came back.

Menggema immediately had Qing Li sent back to her room, and devoted herself to the drinking scene.

Aonashi could finally breathe a sigh of relief, dismissed the maid, slid the wheelchair not very skillfully to the table, looked at the two document bags on the table, fumed for half an hour before making up her mind to open them.

Then poured out a few photos from the bag, both bags, adding up to no more than seven or eight, that’s why it’s thin when pinched.

Qing Li looked at the photos, pupils instantly contracted for a moment, half a day can not move away from the eyes, pick up the second photo, the movement is also stiff and slow like a rusty machine.

Those photos looked like they had been repaired after the transfer, with a feeling of over-sharpening, slightly grayish colors, revealing an undisguised sense of age.

Most of the photos were of a young Chinese woman and a little girl, taken in a casual manner, with neither of them looking at the camera.

There was a woman holding the little girl sitting on a rocking chair in the courtyard, there was a woman feeding the little girl and telling her a story, but in seven or eight photos, the little girl in the picture had changed from less than a year old, who couldn’t even walk, to more than three years old, wearing a fluffy dress and walking with the woman in the courtyard.

The last photo was different, the people in the picture became three, it was formally taken, all three people were looking at the camera, the young dark-haired gray-eyed foreign man and the young woman in the previous photo, in between the two people sat the little girl in the princess dress, it was exactly the appearance of a family of three.

The little girl was smiling happily with a fleshy face, the foreign man was looking deeply at the Chinese woman, the woman was looking at the camera with a depressed brow but also smiling with a sincere and gentle smile.

There was also a time stamp on the photo, showing that it was October 10th, 2004, the day of her fourth birthday.

She remembered what Yue Zhi had said, that this man, her father, had completely disappeared the year afterward.

Qing Li placed the photos scattered randomly on the table and just kept looking at them for a few hours, her entire body felt like it was frozen from the inside out, unable to move a muscle.

Unconsciously, she reached out and traced the eyebrows of the woman in the photo, which was even clearer than the one taken in the hospital on the day of her birth, and overlapped with the mother in her remaining memory.

Her hand gradually clenched, unspeakable anger welling up in her chest, she grabbed her cell phone and dialed the number behind the photo.

The call was answered almost immediately, it was clearly already past eleven at night, as if the person on the other end of the line had been waiting for this call, Qing Sudi’s happy voice came out, “A sister!”

“What the hell do you want?” Qing Li asked indifferently.

“This is my New Year’s gift for Ah Sister, does Ah Sister like it?” Qing Sudi seemed to be completely unable to sense Qing Li’s attitude, his tone remained flinty and gentle.

“I’ll hang up if you don’t.”

“Ah sister don’t be in a hurry, I just want to tell Ah sister, in fact I’m not related to you by blood, the Russian man in the photo, is called ……”

Qing Li interrupted him, “Valentin Yeager, my real father.”

Qing Sudi was surprised, “Yue Zhi has already helped you investigate to this extent? it’s worthy of him, yes, this person is A Sister’s real father, so there is no problem for me to like A Sister and want to be with A Sister ……”

“So?” Qing Li coldly asked back.

“A sister ……” Qing Sudi’s voice obviously lost a lot.

“If that’s the case, I don’t have the surname Qing, so we don’t even have the only bit of blood between us, we’re simply strangers, and there’s even less of a need to contact each other.”

“Sister.” Qing Sudi didn’t want to hear her say such things anymore, and changed the topic, “I still have many, many photos here, does Ah Sister want to see them, I can continue to send them to Ah Sister.”

“Conditions.” Qing Li opened the door and asked.

Qing Sudi smiled bitterly, “Ah Sister is so heartless, I just want to meet Ah Sister.”

The knock on the door suddenly sounded, Qing Li was silent, “I will call you again.” After saying that, she hung up the phone and let the person at the door in.

“Miss Qing Li, Mr. Yue called you several times but didn’t get through, he’s a bit worried and asked me to come up to see you.” The maid said.

Qing Li then realized that there were over a dozen missed calls on her phone, because she was focused on the photos plus her phone was muted, she didn’t notice it at all.

“I know, I’ll call mister back, you go rest first.” Qing Li said.

After the maid left, she called Yue Zhi, “Sorry sir, the phone is muted, it won’t be in the future.”

Yue Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, his voice was still gentle as usual, “It’s good that you’re fine, if you’re a little something, I’m going to deduct all of Montgomery’s bonuses for this year.”

Qing Li gave a dry laugh.

Yue Zhi heard her strangeness, “What’s wrong, very unhappy look.”

Qing Li looked at the photo in front of her, she very much wanted to say something to Yue Zhi, saying that when she was a child, she was completely a foreign child, her eyes were greyer than now, and much lighter in color, she couldn’t see that she was a mixed race, saying that she had actually seen her father, and took pictures to remember him, only that she didn’t remember any of it, and saying that she wanted to think about him, and wanted to go to Dabao Sen Festival together.

But in the end she said nothing.

“Just a little tired.”

“Then go to sleep quickly.” Yue Zhi gently urged, “Good night.”
