Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Heading to Harman

Mrs. Qi saw this scene and nearly lost her breath.

She approached with a stern face, yanking the sleeping Qi Yunqian up and said angrily, "Yunqian! When someone is gone, they’re gone! How long do you plan to wallow in self-pity?"

Qi Yunqian slowly came to under her shaking, and he looked at Mrs. Qi with a pair of bloodshot eyes, somewhat bewildered, and murmured, "Mom, have you seen Shiwei?"

Mrs. Qi looked at the man in front of her, skinny cheeks, unkempt beard, and eyes full of red veins, and her heart ached.

For over twenty years, had she ever seen her spirited son in such a state of decay?

And he had fallen into this state all because of one woman!

"Yunqian, Shiwei’s fate is not your fault, it’s her own destiny, and I feel sorry for her too," Mrs. Qi said, utterly exhausted and took a deep breath, trying to persuade him with kindness.

"But now, even if I agree to let you two be together, the dead cannot be brought back to life, you can’t keep being so despondent just because Song Shiwei is dead, can you?"

Hearing the word "dead," Qi Yunqian’s face became even paler, his lips void of any color.

He closed his dry eyes and said with a hoarse voice, "She’s not dead."

Mrs. Qi took a deep breath and said sternly, "No, she’s dead."

"The cliff she fell from was a kilometer high, and I’ve heard it’s a den of snakes. Even if she was lucky enough not to die from the fall, how could she have avoided those venomous snakes with serious injuries?"

"Besides, your people have been looking for her for two days now and haven’t heard a single thing. Don’t you understand whether she’s dead or alive?"

"Qi Yunqian, can’t you face reality?"

By the end, Mrs. Qi couldn’t help but raise her voice.

During these days, because of Song Shiwei, Qi Yunqian had not managed the company for a long time, and the higher-ups were very dissatisfied with him.

Mrs. Qi would not allow Qi Yunqian to continue in this state of decay.

"The reality is that she is not dead!" Qi Yunqian growled firmly, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Mrs. Qi, emphasizing, "She’s just missing!"

"Unless I see her body, she is not dead!"

Mrs. Qi was so angered by Qi Yunqian that her vision darkened, and through clenched teeth she said, "Fine! You’re doing great! Just for a Song Shiwei, now you don’t even care about the company or me, your mother, right?"

Qi Yunqian’s face was full of pain, "Mom, I didn’t mean that."

"I just want to search a bit more for her, maybe... maybe we’ll find her?"

"Three days! I’ll give you three more days!" Mrs. Qi looked at Qi Yunqian in such a state and couldn’t bring herself to be completely heartless, and said gravely, "If you can’t find Song Shiwei’s body within three days, you come back to the company like a good boy!"

Qi Yunqian held his gaze down and didn’t speak.

Mrs. Qi didn’t want to stay with him any longer and stormed off angrily.

In the next three days, Qi Yunqian tirelessly joined the search and rescue teams looking for Song Shiwei’s body at the base of the cliff.

At night he would drink occasionally and get a little sleep, hoping that Song Shiwei would appear in his dreams.

But Qi Yunqian didn’t dream of her once.

What Qi Yunqian didn’t know was that during the time he was desperately searching, living in a daze, Qi Corporation was facing a huge crisis.

Companies that had previously partnered with Qi Corporation announced overnight that they would no longer be cooperating with Qi Corporation, causing the company’s stocks to plummet.

This sudden event caught the senior management of Qi Corporation completely off guard.

The executive level of Qi Corporation was in complete chaos, with everyone starting to sell their shares and flee with their money.

Mrs. Qi was dizzy with this news and shakily picked up her cell phone to call Qi Yunqian, her voice so anxious it was tinged with sobs.

"Yunqian! There’s trouble with the company! Come back quickly!"

Qi Yunqian was still beside the cliff at this time, and it had been a long time since he had taken care of himself, his handsome face covered with stubble, his cheeks hollowed, looking very dejected.

Hearing Mrs. Qi’s tearful voice, Qi Yunqian’s brows furrowed slightly, and he replied, "I’ll be back right away," before hastily returning to the company.

After arriving at the company, Qi Yunqian realized that the situation was far more severe than he had imagined.

However, possessing some cunning, it took him several tens of days to finally secure the Qi Family Group from the brink of bankruptcy.

Qi Yunqian was so exhausted that he went straight to the hospital for emergency treatment.

And while salvaging the Qi Family Group, the Jiang Family also broke off their engagement with the Qi Family, making Qi Yunqian truly and thoroughly single.

-

At that time, in Country M.

Shen Yanhe was boarding the plane headed to Harman.

He had just sat down when he received a message from Hang Mushan.

It was just a picture.

The photo showed a gaunt and sickly Qi Yunqian.

[Hang Mushan]: Heh heh, master, it’s done, the medicine has been given to him!

Shen Yanhe’s brows twitched slightly as he forwarded the photo to Song Shiwei.

Song Shiwei replied instantly: ...

[Song Shiwei]: What’s wrong with him?

[Shen Yanhe]: Seeing him like this now, do you feel avenged?

[Song Shiwei]: /Applause/Applause/Cheers/Cheers/JPG, it’s hugely satisfying. I have to say, seeing him like this, I feel utterly refreshed. I could eat three bowls of rice today.

[Shen Yanhe]: Smile.JPG, so you understand now, right? This is the best way to get back at a man, to make him suffer, not you.

[Song Shiwei]: ...

[Song Shiwei]: Thump, kneeling.JPG, stop scolding, stop scolding, I know I was wrong.

Shen Yanhe chuckled softly and was about to reply when Feng Jiao suddenly came over, brimming with aggressive energy, and asked with a stern face, "Yanyan, could I switch seats with Mr. Fu and sit next to you later?"

Shen Yanhe blinked and glanced at the huffy Feng Jiao, then at Xiang Ling’an, who was standing in the distance, not daring to approach, and asked, "What happened? Did you two have a fight?"

"Who would dare to argue with the esteemed Mr. Xiang," Feng Jiao snorted coldly in a sardonic tone.

Shen Yanhe: "..."

Xiang Ling’an: "..."

"What happened? What’s going on?" Fu Yanhe came up behind Shen Yanhe, asking with a gentle voice.

Feng Jiao took a deep breath and looked at Fu Yanhe with a solemn face, about to speak.

Xiang Ling’an took a quick step forward, covering her mouth and dragging her backwards with an awkward smile, "Nothing, nothing, Jiaojiao just came over to have a little chat with Yanyan."

Feng Jiao struggled hard against Xiang Ling’an’s hand, her strength no match for his, so she switched from pulling to pinching.

Xiang Ling’an inhaled sharply from the pain, pleading in a lowered voice, "My little ancestor, I was wrong, can you please stop being angry with me?"

Feng Jiao rolled her eyes and huffed, giving up on struggling, allowing him to drag her away.

Fu Yanhe looked at Shen Yanhe with a questioning air: "Are they okay?"

"They’re fine, just a little lovers’ tiff," Shen Yanhe waved it off and moved inside to sit down.

This trip to Harman, Fu Yanhe had used the private jet of FY Group.

Everything was decorated in utter luxury, and the seats were extremely soft, making Shen Yanhe feel sleepy the moment she sat down, causing her to yawn uncontrollably.

"I’m going to sleep," she closed her eyes and murmured softly, "Wake me when we get there."

Fu Yanhe sat beside her, gently patting her shoulder, and responded in the affirmative.
