Wu Ge waited anxiously in the living room. When he heard the sound of the wheelchair rolling, he immediately jumped up from the sofa.

"Uncle Qin … Mom?"

Wu Ge was a little surprised to see his mother following behind the butler with a cold face.

Ever since Mrs. Gao remarried, she had lived the life of an ordinary housewife and never appeared in the Qin Family again. Before he could ask his mother why she was here, the woman had already strode towards him in her high heels and raised her hand without saying a word.

"Slap!"

Mrs. Gao slapped Wu Ge hard in the face. Her red eyes made Wu Ge tremble as he cried out in pain.

"Bastard, how could I have given birth to such a heartless thing like you!"

"Mom, why did you hit me? What did I do wrong?"

Mrs. Gao's voice was trembling. Hearing that Wu Ge still didn't want to admit his mistake, the woman, who was already suffering from asthma, almost fainted. Wu Ge was shocked.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

He hurriedly found a respirator, but Mrs. Gao pushed him away. She panted for a while with a pale face and threw Tian Ziyang's plastic surgery report at his face.

"Look at what you've done!"

Wu Ge's face changed when he saw the title. He looked at Qin Zhai, who had already stopped in the main seat. With a pale face, he subconsciously quibbled, "I, I didn't know it was like this …"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Gao interrupted his feeble quibbling and asked coldly, "Wu Ge, Master Qin has treated us so well. What benefits did Tian Ziyang give you to make you betray Master Qin?"

Her eyes were still full of disbelief. Although her son had repeatedly disappointed her, she had never thought that his character was so bad.

Wu Ge's face was pale. He hid his trembling hands and said stiffly, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Uncle Qin, please believe me. I was really deceived … "

Meeting Qin Zhai's cold eyes, Wu Ge's words were suddenly stuck in his throat.

Mrs. Gao sneered, "How could I have given birth to such an idiot like you? Do you think you and Tian Ziyang can fool Master Qin with your little tricks? You'd better tell me everything now. Otherwise, even without Master Qin saying anything, I'll clean up your father's mess on behalf of the Wu family! "

Seeing that her scheme had been exposed, Wu Ge's legs gave way and she knelt on the ground. She looked timidly at Qin Zhai and her mother.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and tell me!"

Madam Gao's expression was stern, but her eyes were full of urgency.

Master Qin had never intervened in their case, which meant that he still cared about Wu Ge or Wu Ge's father. But if Wu Ge didn't know what was good for her … She couldn't imagine what would happen.

Wu Ge's lips trembled as she said, "Uncle Qin, I, I … I'm sorry."

"Tian Ziyang is a friend I met in an art class half a year ago. I accidentally saw a portrait he painted, and the person in it looked exactly like you. I thought he was painting you, but he said that it was a person from another world that he dreamed of. She was his lover, and her name was He Chongfeng. After he learned of your existence from me, he kept trying to get close to you, but he never had a chance.

"Later, he made himself look like he did in that world, and he said that he wanted to return to your side."

While speaking, Wu Ge began to cry, and her voice was choked with sobs. "I saw that you were troubled by your dreams, and you didn't have a companion for so many years. It was too lonely, so I thought that if he was the person you dreamed of, it would be a good thing for you. If he wasn't, you wouldn't suffer any losses …

"And he was very sure that as long as you saw him, you'd definitely recognize him. I don't think he was lying, so … Uncle Qin, what I said is true. "

Qin Zhai said, "So, you made the decision for me."

Wu Ge said in shock, "Uncle Qin, it's not like that. You know me best. Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to make any arrangements for you. Uncle Qin … I know I was wrong. I didn't want to do this, but you've been working too hard all these years. I just … I just didn't want you to be so tired all the time. "

Qin Zhai asked her, "Who told you that He Chongfeng and I look exactly the same?"

Wu Ge widened her eyes in shock. Wasn't that the case?

"Wu Ge, do you remember the last person who lied to me? What happened to him now?"

Qin Zhai adjusted the blanket on his legs and looked at her indifferently.

"Uncle Qin, why are you asking me this … I don't understand."

Wu Ge's face was full of confusion, but there was a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart.

Mrs. Gao also became nervous. "Master Qin, Xiao Ge grew up by your side all these years. If he did anything wrong, you can punish him. I believe that this child's roots are still good, you … "

Qin Zhai raised his hand, and the butler handed a document to the mother and son.

It was Wu Ge's information over the years. After Mrs. Gao read it, she immediately fainted from asthma. Wu Ge, on the other hand, was stunned. Her eyes lost focus for a moment before she said in a hoarse voice, "… When did you find out?"

Seeing that Qin Zhai didn't answer, Wu Ge clenched her fists and straightened her back. She hurriedly asked him, "Since you already knew, why did you indulge me for so many years? Did you want to see me act smart?"

Since he was a child, he worshipped Qin Zhai as if he was a god. Even the bedtime stories he heard were from his father about how Qin Zhai swallowed the Ren Cha like a whale and regained control of the Qin Family.

Those righteous hot-bloodedness, the unpredictable schemes, and the courage to risk life and death made him yearn for them.

He once swore to be Qin Zhai's right-hand man and a sharp blade in his hand.

But when did this change of heart?

Was it when he really saw how decisive Qin Zhai was and had an ignorant desire for power? Or was it when he accidentally found out from his father's belongings that he wasn't loyal to Qin Zhai at all. He had always been a spy planted by the Ren Cha around Qin Zhai? Or was it when his faith collapsed? Or was it when he guessed that his father's death was actually a trap set up by Qin Zhai?

Even he himself couldn't explain it clearly.

When he found out the truth, he was only eight years old. From then on, he learned how to pretend to be obedient and stupid.

When he found out that his disguise had successfully deceived Qin Zhai and everyone around him, Wu Ge was secretly delighted. His ambition gradually grew, and from wanting to avenge his father, he wanted to replace Qin Zhai.

He pretended to be an ignorant and willful playboy to let Qin Zhai's guard down, just like how he had fooled the Ren Cha back then.

If he thought that Qin Zhai could do it, he would be able to do it too.

But now it seemed that he was just a joke from the beginning to the end.

Wu Ge looked at Qin Zhai with red eyes and wanted to ask for an answer. Qin Zhai only asked him, "Do you know that Tian Ziyang is Ren Cha's son?"

Wu Ge opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Tian Ziyang didn't have this name when he met him. His name was Li Tian, and he was a student of the art school.

Three years ago, Wu Ge accidentally met Li Tian in a bar. His outline was somewhat similar to the hand-drawn drawing he had seen in Qin Zhai's study, so he paid attention to him.

Li Tian was a greedy person. Wu Ge intentionally or unintentionally showed off Uncle Qin in front of him and revealed the power and status of the Qin Family. He quickly took the bait.

After hearing that Qin Zhai's dream lover was somewhat similar to him, he developed a greedy desire for Qin Zhai.

For this reason, he went for plastic surgery and abandoned his original identity in exchange for a new life. He completely followed Wu Ge's description and pretended to be a person who existed in fantasy.

Wu Ge thought that he had been tricked by him and would become the most advantageous chess piece in his hands. He didn't expect that he was the one who had been used from the beginning.

Wu Ge murmured, "Since you knew … why did you cooperate?"

Gou Liang raised his eyebrows when he heard this question.

Qin Zhai didn't intend to explain to him. He only said, "You know the Qin Family's rules for dealing with traitors, but now I'm giving you a chance to make up for your mistakes. As long as you do this, I'll let bygones be bygones and won't interfere with your and your mother's life in the future. "

Wu Ge originally thought that he was going to die. When he heard this, he paused for a moment and suddenly understood. He said, "You want me to help you find out Ren Cha — could it be that you wanted to use me to lure out Ren Cha from the beginning?!"

Qin Zhai continued, "I'll give you one year."

"Uncle Qin, wait. You've been letting me stay by your side all these years just to use me, right?!"

"Uncle Qin, answer me —"

The bodyguards held down Wu Ge who wanted to chase after them. He could only watch as the butler pushed Qin Zhai away.

After Wu Ge and her son were taken away, Qin Zhai said, "Keep an eye on this woman."

Butler: "Yes, sir."

[System: So the target knows everything. Master, you can rest assured.]

[Gou Liang: I've never doubted his intelligence.]

When the System was investigating Tian Ziyang and Wu Ge, it found a big drama of the year.

Tian Ziyang was indeed Ren Cha's illegitimate son and Qin Zhai's half-brother.

As early as three years ago, after Ren Cha found out about Qin Zhai's dream lover through various channels, he arranged for his son to undergo plastic surgery in order to get close to Qin Zhai. He didn't have the delusion of deceiving Qin Zhai's trust through this easily discovered plastic surgery face. His goal was only to assassinate Qin Zhai when he least expected it.

However, Qin Zhai was completely aware of this person who frequently appeared in his line of sight. At this time, Ren Cha thought of another chess piece that he had planted.

The self-righteous Wu Ge met a tragic end.

Ren Cha's greatest achievement in life, besides deceiving his father-in-law, was to coax women.

No matter if it was Qin Zhai's mother, his true love, or his other cheating partner, Mrs. Gao, all of them were dead set on him.

After her husband had taken a bullet for Qin Zhai and died for her, Ren Cha had arranged a lot of things through Mrs. Gao. After discovering Wu Ge's cleverness, she had even conspired with Mrs. Gao to reveal the truth.

Mrs. Gao was like a brainwashed believer. Even though Ren Cha had been utterly defeated, she was still willing to give up everything for him.

After Wu Ge found out that his most trusted father was actually a spy and that Qin Zhai, the person he believed in, was the one who killed his father, his mentality began to distort.

Everything developed as they expected. Qin Zhai indulged Wu Ge, and Wu Ge began to hate Qin Zhai and hoped to replace him.

All the plans seemed to be perfect, but unfortunately, they trusted a child's disguise too much and underestimated Qin Zhai's insight. This allowed Qin Zhai to uncover the relationship between Mrs. Gao and Ren Cha.

That year, he escaped from Qin Zhai's hands. These years, he had hidden himself well, and Qin Zhai had never been able to find him.

Qin Zhai wanted to find him through Mrs. Gao, but he failed.

This time, it all depended on how important Wu Ge was to him. If Mrs. Gao really had a way to contact Ren Cha, they would follow the vine to the melon and set up an inescapable net, waiting for Ren Cha to have nowhere to hide.

But …

He clearly knew everything, so why did he come to the hospital to see the plastic face?

Gou Liang poked at the man's blind spot until he accidentally saw that the pills on the table were actually sleeping pills. He frowned.

The next morning, Qin Zhai came with the agreement.

He was very generous. Not only did he ask for a nine-figure budget, but he also found a venue and helpers. He only asked for one thing: to cooperate with any of his requests unconditionally.

Gou Liang said this himself. He couldn't help but feel amused when he saw how he used a chicken feather as an arrow.

"Mr. Qin, did you not sleep well last night?"

Looking at his face, Gou Liang knew that even if he took sleeping pills, he didn't have a private meeting with Xiao Kener last night.

Qin Zhai looked at his left hand, which was spinning the pen, and said, "Nothing. Is there anything you want to add?"

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Gou Liang happily signed the agreement and raised his hand with a smile. "Mr. Qin, I look forward to working with you."

Qin Zhai held his hand. The dry and warm touch made him feel familiar and warm. His gloomy mood finally brightened. Qin Zhai took the opportunity to hold his hand and said, "I haven't had breakfast yet."

"Oh." Gou Liang raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "It's getting late. Mr. Qin, you should eat early. I have to go to work."

Qin Zhai said, "I want to eat the breakfast you made."

Gou Liang said awkwardly, "I'm going to be late for work."

Qin Zhai said, "Eat breakfast with me. Move. Come back with me."

Gou Liang stood up, leaned over the table, and said, "Mr. Qin, is this how you get along with your lover in that world?"

"… What's the problem?"

"I'm just curious. How did you know that I have the potential to be a masochist?"

Gou Liang wanted to pull his hand back, but Qin Zhai didn't let him go and said, "I'll take you there."

Gou Liang smiled. "I didn't know that Mr. Qin was such an unprincipled person."

When they got in the car, Qin Zhai told him, "Sleep for a while. I'll wake you up when we arrive."

Gou Liang, who had been staring at the sleeping pills in the system for a long time, praised him. "Qin Zhai, you're so considerate."

Therefore, when he opened his eyes, they had already arrived at the entrance of the Qin Family.

Gou Liang: "…"

He would let Qin Zhai know what it meant to be one foot tall and the devil ten feet tall.

*

In the conference room of the Qin Group building.

"Master Qin, the leak of the technical information has been investigated."

Liu Yixing said, "It was done by Zheng An. The person behind him is Chensan. When we found him, he had already sneaked out of the country. We are still searching for his whereabouts. There should be results in three days. However, we don't have any evidence on Chensan's side. I'm afraid we can't accuse him. "

"Don't worry about the leaked information, and don't waste time looking for evidence," Qin Zhai said, "Hasn't Chensan been fighting for a marriage alliance with the Wang family recently? Go and make arrangements. Just give him a taste of his own medicine. "

"Yes."

Liu Yixing kept it in mind.

Was it so easy to steal the confidential information of the Qin Family? The real core of the technical information had always been in Qin Zhai's mind. There was no way that it could have been leaked.

However, they naturally couldn't ignore this kind of provocation.

The Qin Family had retired from the underworld, and the Chen Family had taken over the top position. They thought that they were a match for the Qin Family. What a joke.

Qin Zhai continued, "Second Great Uncle's territory hasn't been peaceful recently. Send someone to knock some sense into him …"

At this moment, his cell phone rang.

Gou Liang's bodyguard sent back a picture. In the picture, a man in a white coat leaned over the table toward Gou Liang, as if he was going to kiss Gou Liang's neck in the next second.

Qin Zhai frowned immediately.

It had been three days since he took Gou Liang home. However, ever since he saw the laboratory that the Qin Family had specially modified for him, he was unwilling to come out.

The first thing he did when he came back was always to rush to the laboratory. Even the few assistants that were specially invited were very interested in Gou Liang's treatment plan. They were so engrossed in the research that they forgot to eat and sleep. When they were busy, they even came to Qin Zhai to ask for help.

Qin Zhai didn't even have breakfast with him, let alone have any deep contact with him.

He could faintly feel Gou Liang's eagerness. He couldn't tell if Gou Liang wanted to cure his hand or his leg, but he couldn't bear to disturb him when he saw how focused Gou Liang was.

Therefore, he tried his best to be considerate.

But now, Gou Liang had even put those ambiguous photos in front of him!

— — Back to one minute ago.

"Doctor Qiu, what have you been busy with recently?"

The Duan Xiaotian pushed the door open and entered. She was stared at by Gou Liang. Only then did she remember to take a step back and knock on the door. She asked with her eyes, "Is it okay?"

"Please come in."

"You have so many problems."

The Duan Xiaotian complained and then asked him, "Old Master has mentioned it several times. You haven't had a meal with him in a while. Also, I went to your house last night. Not only were you not at home, but there was also dust at the door! Tell me honestly, how many days have you not been home? What kind of heinous things have you done? "

His gaze swept over Gou Liang like a radar. He even leaned over and sniffed in an exaggerated manner.

Gou Liang took a step back. "What are you doing?"

"What else can I do? I want to see if you have the smell of a wild man on you."

"This is the first time I know you have such a skill."

"Hehe, since you know how good I am, why don't you tell me the truth?"

Gou Liang was about to retort when the phone on the table rang.

Qin Zhai: Keep a distance from the person in front of you. Stay at least one meter away.

Gou Liang was amused and replied: Yes, sir! Master Qin, do you have any other instructions?

Qin Zhai: I'm in a meeting. I'll contact you later.

Gou Liang: … I give up.

The Duan Xiaotian saw his lively expression when he replied to the message. One moment he was smiling and the next moment he was glaring. He asked curiously, "Dr. Qiu, don't tell me you're in love?"

Gou Liang put the phone back exactly where it was and said, "Turn right when you go out and go straight. The ophthalmology department is on the fifth floor. You're welcome."

The Duan Xiaotian shouted, "Don't try to lie to me. If you're not in love, who were you talking to just now? Why are you smiling like an idiot? Old Qiu, you're too mean. You're the first person I tell when I'm in love. "

Gou Liang exposed him. "That's because no one wants to hear about your history of heartbreak, right?"

"We're talking about you now. Don't change the subject."

Seeing his depressed expression, Gou Liang chuckled. "She's not in love. I found myself a … sugar daddy."

"What?!"

The Duan Xiaotian jumped three feet high.

The Duan Xiaotian stopped joking when he heard Gou Liang say that this stupid sugar daddy was investing in his medical project.

He knew the original owner's obsession. He had not given up on treating the nerves in his right hand all these years. He still wanted to be the best surgeon, but his plans had to be put on hold because of various problems in terms of manpower and financial resources. Now that he heard that he had found someone who was willing to fund him, of course he was happy for him.

"This is great news!"

The Duan Xiaotian said, "Why didn't you tell me in advance? Do you need anything? If you encounter any difficulties, you should tell the old man. Oh, by the way, do you need help? You can use my free time. "

"Thank you. You should go find a granddaughter-in-law for the teacher … I need to take a call."

Gou Liang noticed that his phone had just lit up.

Qin Zhai said that he was coming to pick him up from work. Gou Liang was about to agree when a young nurse hurriedly knocked on the door and said, "Dr. Qiu, Dr. Duan, bad news! A family member of a patient in the cardiac surgery department is causing trouble. He has a knife in his hand and cut Dr. Bai! "

"Is Old Bai okay?!"

The Duan Xiaotian was shocked and hurriedly rushed up.

Bai Dongming, the Duan Xiaotian, and the original owner's relationship was very good. Gou Liang could not sit back and do nothing. He said goodbye to Qin Zhai and was about to hang up.

Qin Zhai said, "Be careful. Don't try to be brave."

"I know."

Gou Liang said.

By the time they arrived, the situation was already under control.

The Duan Xiaotian said, "Good job, Old Bai. How does it feel to be a hero? What's going on? Why did a family member of a patient in the cardiac surgery department suddenly stab you, the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department? "

Bai Dongming said, "I'm also puzzled. Just now, a young nurse called and said that Director Zhang asked me to come up. As soon as I arrived, I encountered a troublemaker."

"You're really unlucky. You scared Old Qiu and me. Hey, Old Qiu, why didn't you say anything … "

The Duan Xiaotian turned around and saw that Gou Liang was no longer behind him.
