The boss is chasing after the chaebol’s ex-wife, but you can’t afford it

The air in the ward condensed quickly.

Liu Minzhi and Secretary Qi were both stunned and looked at Tang Qiaoer in extreme astonishment.

"Miss, you... knew from the beginning that the child was the Fifth Young Master?" Secretary Qi couldn't believe it.

"Yes."

Tang Qiaoer pursed her lips tightly and let her long eyelashes droop. "Last time, when Brother Qi took his cigarette butts for DNA testing... we already knew the result."

"So, you and Afeng both knew that the child was my Ahuan...but you teamed up and hid it from me?" Liu Minzhi walked in front of Tang Qiaoer, his shoulders trembling slightly, his eyes reddening with restrained intent.

Tang Qiaoer felt a prick in the chest and whispered, "Auntie Min, I'm sorry...If you want to blame someone, just blame me. It was my idea and has nothing to do with Seventh Brother."

Liu Minzhi stared at her without blinking, and before she knew it, two lines of bitter tears flowed from the corners of her eyes:

"Do you know... how I got through all these years since I lost Ah Huan? Wan Ting, Ah Chu, and my third and fourth sisters all advised me to let it go... I forced myself to get over the pain of losing my son, and forced myself to accept the reality that Ah Huan might have passed away and there was no trace of his body left... But I never let it go, never got over the grief...

Many nights, I dreamed of Ah Huan standing in front of me, soaking wet, saying to me over and over again, "Mom... the water is so cold..."

Secretary Qi sighed sadly, and Tang Qiaoer felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. Her frail body trembled unbearably.

Liu Minzhi's tears fell uncontrollably, and her red eyes seemed to be filled with bitterness and sorrow. "Qiaoqiao, you knew everything, but you hid it from me. Don't you think you are too self-righteous, too unfair, and too cruel to me?"

This was the first time Aunt Min, who treated Tang Qiaoer as her own daughter, blushed and spoke harshly to her.

This woman doted on her more than her own daughter. At this moment, she was in so much pain that she couldn't even keep calm.

"I'm sorry..." Tang Qiaoer apologized again, choking with sobs.

"Second wife, I can completely understand your feelings."

Secretary Qi couldn't bear to see Tang Qiaoer being wronged, so he stepped forward to speak for her, "But you have watched the eldest lady grow up since she was a child, and you know her character very well. She is not a child who will do whatever she wants without considering the consequences. I believe that the eldest lady has her own considerations for hiding this from you."

Tang Qiaoer's voice was hoarse from anxiety, "Aunt Min, Fifth Brother's current situation... is very dangerous."

Liu Minzhi was shocked.

"Fifth brother experienced a plane crash and lost his memory. He is now being manipulated and used by someone, and it would be easy for the person behind the scenes to kill him. I am afraid that once Fifth Brother's identity is exposed, or if he loses the trust of that person, he will immediately fall into great danger. So... I kept it a secret from you and Dad. I am afraid that you love your son so much that you will be distracted by your concern."

Liu Minzhi's heartbeat paused, and her red eyes widened, "Who is the person who used Ah Huan?!"

Tang Qiaoer shook her head, "Aunt Min, I'm sorry. For your sake and for my dad's safety, I can't tell you for now."

"Today, on the road, a group of people seemed to be chasing Ah Huan... Who were they?"

Liu Minzhi grabbed her hand, worriedly, "If, as you said, the mastermind still had a use for Ah Huan, why did he kill him?!"

Tang Qiaoer was stunned, then stared into deep thought.

Now, the fifth brother has not yet recovered his memory, and Shen Jingzhe is in need of people, so how could he harm the fifth brother?

Could it be that there is a third party force that wants to kill the fifth brother in order to cut off Shen Jingzhe's arm?

The complexity of the matter is hard to imagine.

Tang Qiaoer was in a very heavy mood, but she still tried to comfort him as much as possible, "Aunt Min, don't worry. Fifth Brother is very different from before. He is so strong that not just anyone can hurt him."

"Not just anyone can hurt him? But do you know... when I sent Huan to the hospital, the doctor said that if I had come a step later, he would not have survived!"

Liu Minzhi was so emotional that she had trouble breathing. Tang Qiaoer stepped forward to pat her and she felt better. "Qiaoqiao... I finally got to meet Ah Huan. If I lose him again... I don't want to live anymore!"

"No, Aunt Min, this time, I must let Fifth Brother return home safely!"

At this moment, Liu Minzhi's cell phone vibrated.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the screen. A moving red dot flickered on the map and headed south.

Tang Qiaoer stared, "Auntie Min, what is this...?"

Liu Minzhi clenched her phone tightly, her fingertips turning white, "I took advantage of Ah Huan being unconscious and pressed the location software on her phone.

Shengjing is so big, I don't know where else I can find him, this is the only way."

Tang Qiaoer took a deep breath.

I have to sigh, none of Lao Wan’s women are vegetarians!

……

After Li Huan left the hospital without saying goodbye, he did not dare to delay and immediately returned to Shen Jingzhe to report.

In the dark room, Shen Jingzhe sat in a wheelchair with his back to him, facing the floor-to-ceiling window. His reflection was hazy, cold, and distorted, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Sir, I'm sorry, the mission failed." Li Huan stood there stiffly, his face as pale as paper.

The man opened his mouth faintly, "You have followed me for many years and have always been helpful. So, I am willing to give you a chance to explain."

Li Huan's crow-feather eyelashes trembled, and he lowered his head:

"On the way there, I was chased by a group of people."

"Oh?" Shen Jingzhe slowly turned the wheelchair and raised his eyebrows with interest at the face of him.

"There were quite a lot of them, and I was outnumbered and got stabbed."

Li Huan suddenly pulled his collar, revealing the hideous knife wound on his shoulder to prove that what he said was true.

In a daze, Shen Jingzhe stared at his wound, his eyes like an unfathomable abyss.

"But, no matter what, it's all my fault. You can kill me or chop me up, I'll do whatever you want." Li Huan was sincere and fearless.

"I know who attacked you."

Li Huan was startled, "Do you know who it is?"

"His target is not you, but me."

Shen Jingzhe pulled out the King of Spades from his arms, held it between his fingertips, and swung it to his feet.
