Chapter 33: The Big Bosses Are Like They Have an Opened Heavenly Eye
Ye Ran had no choice but to put his hand down. Doctor Lin leaned in to take a look and spoke a sentence from his 36-degree mouth that didn’t carry much warmth.
“The Young Master is indeed injured. With a wound ‘this big,’ it will have healed if we were any later.”
Ye Ran: “…”
His lie being ruthlessly exposed, Ye Ran lowered his head, trying his best not to meet Chi Yuhengâs eyes.
It was too scary; he didn’t dare to look.
After checking Ye Ranâs arm, the doctor also confirmed if there were any other injuries on his body. Finally, he nodded to Chi Yuheng, indicating that Ye Ran had no problems at all.
He also checked Qiao Yubai. Besides being a bit startled, he was fine otherwise.
Since everyone was fine, Chi Yuheng was relieved. He glanced at the person who was trying to act like a quail and tossed out two words: “Go home.”
When Ye Ran followed Chi Yuheng out of the bar, the sky outside was already completely dark. Xin Yu had arranged for someone to drive Ye Ranâs car back. Ye Ran would definitely go back in the same car as Chi Yuheng, but Qiao Yubai…
Qiao Yubai followed behind Ye Ran. “Ge, can I go back with you?”
Ye Ran wanted to say, Buddy, I can’t even protect myself right now. Neither of us combined can beat Chi Yuheng. We really can’t.
But seeing his pitiful gaze, and thinking about how troublesome it would be to send him back to the Ye residence so late and explain things to Ye Muqing, he might as well take him back.
Chi Yuheng didn’t object either, so Qiao Yubai followed Ye Ran back together.
The first thing after arriving home was to drink sobriety soup, which Chi Yuheng had personally brewed.
Ye Ran frowned as he finished it; it was a bit too sweet. Qiao Yubai also drank a bowl, his eyes lighting up. “It’s so delicious.”
After speaking, he watched Ye Ranâs reaction and asked, “Ge, don’t you think it’s delicious?”
At this time, how could he say the thing Chi Yuheng made wasn’t good? He smoothed his brow. “It’s delicious; it must be delicious.”
The corners of Chi Yuhengâs mouth were about to curve but didn’t. He said, “Eat first.”
This meal was eaten with Ye Ranâs heart in his throat, not knowing how he would be scolded later. Only Qiao Yubai ate heartily.
One bite of rice, one bite of vegetables, his mouth was stuffed full, chewing and chewing like a little hamster.
Didn’t the doctor say he was startled?
He was perfectly fine.
In comparison, he was the one who looked startled.
Ye Ran cursed in his heartâQuack doctor.
…
The Fang Residence
Fang Yuan was sent back. Fang Yichuan was startled the moment he saw his son.
Where did they pull a pig from?
Finally, he could only see through the swollen face that the person was Fang Yuan.
“How did you get beaten into a pig’s head?!”
Fang Yuan blinked his eyes, which were almost narrowed into slits, and wailed loudly, “Dad, it’s all that Ye Ran. He and Chi Yuheng beat me like this.”
Fang Yichuan almost thought his ears had a problem and asked him again, “Who did you just say?”
“Ye Ran! Who else could it be? Chi Yuheng ruined our family so badly; of course I had to teach his person a lesson…”
Before he could finish, a slap landed on that “pig’s head” face again.
Fang Yichuanâs equity had been acquired by Chi Yuheng, and his actual power in the company had also vanished. With his “master” stepping down, there was no place for him in all of Chengyi.
The loser is the bandit. Fang Yichuan had no choice but to go home and find another way. Fortunately, he still had some old capital saved up, and starting a small business to slowly get back up was also possible.
Leave a way out for everything. Chi Yuheng had at least left him a way to live, not revealing his previous embezzlement of company funds and not letting him go to prison. Fang Yichuan was already very grateful.
He didn’t expect his son, who was more hindrance than help, would actually think of looking for trouble with Ye Ran.
“Are you out of your mind to touch Chi Yuhengâs person? Before, our family only lacked money, but now we might even lose our lives.” Fang Yichuan wasn’t satisfied and delivered another slap.
Fang Yuan was stunned.
Was it really that serious?
The facts were indeed as Fang Yichuan had expected. Soon, he was taken away for investigation on suspicion of embezzling company funds. Without Fang Yichuan, the Fang family was completely finished.
…
After dinner, Ye Ran very consciously went to the study. Qiao Yubai was only familiar with Ye Ran at the Chi residence, so he followed wherever Ye Ran went.
Just as Ye Ran reached the bookshelf, he heard the study door open. His relaxed body immediately tensed up.
“Ge, are you there?”
Hearing that it wasn’t Chi Yuhengâs voice, Ye Ran poked his head out from behind the bookshelf. “I’m here.”
Now that Ye Ran finally didn’t hate him, Qiao Yubai wanted to chat more with him.
“Ge, you’re really diligent. You even come to the study so late to look for books to read.”
These words made the corner of Ye Ranâs mouth twitch uncontrollably. He glanced at the dense books on the bookshelf. “Mn, I can’t sleep. Looking for a book to induce sleep.”
“Ge, I have a question I want to ask you.”
Ye Ran: “Ask.”
Qiao Yubai spoke his doubt. “When playing cards with Fang Yuan at the bar today, how did you manage to win when you wanted to win and lose when you wanted to lose?”
“It’s simple.” Ye Ran looked at him. “Because I had an identical deck of cards in my hand.”
“Ah? Cheating!” Qiao Yubai truly hadn’t expected it.
“There’s no need to be polite with someone like Fang Yuan. Besides, do you think he would have let us go if I hadn’t cheated?” Ye Ran spoke while pulling books from the shelf, making it look as if he were truly searching for a book.
Qiao Yubai thought about it and felt that what Ye Ran said made sense.
“Did you notify President Chi to come find you in advance? He came so quickly, itâs like he knew everything.”
Ye Ran said easily, “Big bosses like them are all like they have an ‘opened heavenly eye’; itâs not hard for them to find someone.”
“Really?” Qiao Yubaiâs eyes widened. “When I was young, I went out to buy snacks. On my way back, I couldn’t find the way. My sister had gone to a boarding school, and there was only me and the nanny at home. The nanny thought I went to a classmate’s house.”
“So I was lost for three days before my mom remembered to look for me. Finally, when she couldn’t find me, she called the police. Then they searched for another day before they found me.”
Ye Ran was completely stunned. Was Qiao Yubai sure that was his biological mother? She was so careless.
“Then where were you staying during those few days?”
Qiao Yubai felt a bit embarrassed. “I’m a bit directionally challenged. Actually, I was wandering around the neighborhood those few days; I just couldn’t find my home. Later, I was taken home by a grandpa who said he would take me to the mountains. The environment there was good, and there would be plenty to eat and drink.”
“Fuck! Isn’t that just a human trafficker?!”
Qiao Yubai nodded. “If my mom had found me one day later, I would have been taken out of the city by him.”
Ye Ran thought that this author really didn’t let anyone off; the protagonist shou was also quite pitiful when he was young.
“However, Muqing-ge seems to have an ‘opened heavenly eye’ like President Chi. During the time Iâve lived at the Ye residence, every time I get lost while going out to play, he can find me very quickly and take me home.”
Ye Ran instantly captured the key information.
“You said Ye Muqing can find you every time?”
Although Qiao Yubai didn’t know why Ye Ran would react to this sentence, he still nodded with certainty.
Ye Ran thought that the “protagonist gong” had already started acting. Only by constantly paying attention to someone and understanding them can one find them quickly.
But his “stupid second brother” clearly had the action capacity but couldn’t keep up with his brain.
With someone as directionally challenged as Qiao Yubai, he actually felt at ease letting him go out to travel.
Now that it was known that Ye Muqing had started pursuing Qiao Yubai, what about Ye Tingyun?
What was he, as the other “protagonist gong,” doing?
These questions could only be solved one by one. Ye Ran first raised his own first doubt: “Do you like Ye Muqing?”
