Chapter 55: Why Did You Send Someone to Tail Me?
Before Jiang Chuan could recklessly chase after Chen Wei, Han Chi successfully caught him in his arms.
“Han Chi, let go of me, you f*cking…”
Jiang Chuan said, lifting his foot to kick him.
Han Chi couldn’t dodge, and the back of his knee took a solid hit.
Before he could even cry out in pain, Han Chi slapped Jiang Chuan hard on the forehead.
“Everything was fine, why the hell are you acting crazy?”
The sudden slap woke Jiang Chuan up quite a bit.
Snapping back to his senses, Jiang Chuan looked at Han Chi, his faintly tear-stained face carrying an indescribable grievance.
Han Chi: “…”
Grabbing his collar, he dragged him back into the car.
Lighting a cigarette for himself, Han Chi looked at Jiang Chuan from the corner of his eye and asked:
“Do you know why Xiao Wei chose to listen to Xu Cheng and enter the entertainment industry back then?”
Jiang Chuan shook his head honestly.
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Han Chi sighed and began to explain:
“He did it to find his younger brother.”
“Younger brother?” Jiang Chuan was confused.
“Yes. Xiao Wei’s parents divorced when he was very young. The year after their divorce, due to poor supervision by the elders, his younger brother wandered out alone while running a high fever and went missing.”
“Hiss.” Jiang Chuan gasped.
If it weren’t for Han Chi, he wouldn’t have known the hidden story behind this.
But…
“Since he was looking for his brother? Then why did he suddenly decide to leave the entertainment industry?” Jiang Chuan asked, “Could it be that he found him?”
Giving him a look of disappointment, Han Chi flicked his cigarette ash through the rolled-down window and said:
“Did you see the boy sitting in the wheelchair at the villa today?”
“I saw him.” Jiang Chuan looked innocent.
Not only had he seen him, but he also remembered him.
That boy had someone stuff a stinking, dirty rag into his mouth, and on top of that, he had the nerve to make faces and provoke him!
A warrior can be killed but not humiliated!
It absolutely infuriated him!
If Brother Wei hadn’t stopped him today, he would have punched him a long time ago.
Thwack—
A sharp flick landed squarely on the top of the soon-to-be-enraged Jiang Chuan’s head.
Jiang Chuan clutched his head, looking at Han Chi with a wronged expression:
“What are you doing!”
Han Chi rolled his eyes at him:
“Don’t you think he looks a lot like Xiao Wei?”
“Huh?”
Blinking and pondering for a moment, Jiang Chuan suddenly realized:
“Could he be Brother Wei’s younger brother?”
Han Chi said, “We can’t be sure right now. Xiao Wei’s brother was already five years old the year he went missing. A five-year-old can already remember their own name and home address.”
“Xiao Wei’s brother is named Chen Yan, but that boy said his name is Ji Can.”
There are many people in the world who look alike.
But it just so happened that this deadly coincidence fell upon Chen Wei.
Having witnessed the entire incident in the living room, Han Chi could actually completely understand the current Chen Wei.
He asked Jiang Chuan again:
“Do you know why Xiao Wei never celebrates his birthday all these years?”
Jiang Chuan truly didn’t know this.
He had only heard others mention it in passing back when he was paying attention to Han Chi.
They said Chen Wei had never held a birthday party, nor had he ever posted birthday wishes on Weibo.
His birthday was kept strictly a secret. Since the fans didn’t know the date, they couldn’t organize offline birthday events for him.
Previously, he just thought Chen Wei was putting on airs. He had no idea there was a hidden story behind it.
Meeting Jiang Chuan’s curious gaze, Han Chi explained lightly:
“That’s because the day Xiao Wei’s brother went missing happened to be Xiao Wei’s tenth birthday.”
“? Holy sh*t!?”
Jiang Chuan couldn’t help but let out a curse, his eyes widening at Han Chi’s words.
“Doesn’t that mean Brother Wei will blame himself for the rest of his life?”
“Hmph.”
Hearing this, Han Chi only sneered:
“Why should Xiao Wei blame himself for a lifetime? The ones who should be blaming themselves are clearly others.”
Three adults in a family, yet they couldn’t keep an eye on a single child.
Even for a simple fever-reducing medicine, they needed another child to run out alone on a rainy night to buy it?
What did Chen Wei do wrong?
His only mistake was being born into such a family.
Frustration aside, as soon as Han Chi finished speaking, Jiang Chuan quickly had a new question:
“But what does this have to do with that boy in the villa?”
Taking the last drag of his cigarette and crushing the butt, Han Chi looked at him:
“Even if that boy isn’t Xiao Wei’s brother, how could you expect Xiao Wei to let go of his emotional baggage and fight for a man against a child who looks exactly like his brother without any burden?”
“Fight for a man?” Jiang Chuan asked innocently, “Fight for who? Zhou Sijin?”
Tossing the cigarette butt, Han Chi gave Jiang Chuan a look as if he were an idiot.
Locking the car doors and starting the engine, Han Chi couldn’t be bothered to talk to him anymore.
…
After going upstairs, Chen Wei didn’t leave the house again.
He didn’t even wash up, just throwing himself onto the sofa in the living room and zoning out.
It wasn’t until Zhou Sijin turned on the living room lights in the dimness that Chen Wei finally moved from that posture.
He lifted his eyes and glanced around the room.
Even though the floor heating was on, for some reason, he still felt a trace of chilliness in this empty house.
Taking off his coat and changing his shoes, Zhou Sijin walked closer to Chen Wei.
As he sat down on the sofa, he pulled him into his arms.
“Why aren’t you eating?” He lowered his head, brushing the loose hair from his forehead, and asked softly.
Chen Wei looked back at him numbly.
“Zhou Sijin.” He called him: “Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?”
“Say?” Zhou Sijin was taken aback, chuckling as he asked: “What should I say to you?”
“Before I speak to you, shouldn’t you first explain to me why you sent someone to tail me?”
Chen Wei kept his mouth shut and didn’t answer.
Zhou Sijin didn’t mind. He simply pinched his cheek and asked with a smile:
“Are you talking about the fact that I didn’t come to see you for two days?”
Chen Wei pressed his lips tightly together and remained silent.
For some reason, Zhou Sijin actually had the patience to explain to him today:
“I went to City A on short notice to discuss a business deal, and only flew back to Beicheng today.”
“When you called me, I was still on the plane.”
“What?” Zhou Sijin scoffed, “The person you sent to tail me didn’t disclose the news that I left Beicheng?”
Taking a deep breath, Chen Wei half-squinted at him: “So you knew early on that I sent someone to tail you?”
Zhou Sijin sneered with a look of disdain: “With such clumsy stalking techniques, the bodyguards under me aren’t just eating for nothing.”
“That idiot you sent didn’t even bother to hide when messaging someone to report my whereabouts.”
“If the bodyguards under me hadn’t happened to see him when I took them to the hotel to save you last time, he probably would have been dealt with as a spy sent by a rival.”
“…”
Although he hadn’t placed much hope in Jiang Chuan, Chen Wei hadn’t expected him to be exposed so thoroughly right under Zhou Sijin’s nose.
This also explained why, even though he was staking out outside the villa, he ended up being discovered by the people inside.
