When Ye Shu returned home from prison, her face was still filled with confusion.

She sat on the sofa in a daze, not knowing who she had provoked or harmed her father!

Seeing his father’s injuries, Ye Shu finally understood why her father wanted to see her.

“So? What did your dad say?”

When Lu Fen heard the door open, she knew that Ye Shu had returned.

Ye Shu looked at Lu Fen and saw her worried face.

Ye Shu stood up and reached out to support Lu Fen before bringing her to sit on the sofa.

“What exactly is it? Say something!” Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Lu Fen was a little anxious.

Ye Shu took a light breath and said, “He’s fine. He just asked me to go over to tell me something.”

“Why would your father ask you over for no reason?” Lu Fen frowned.

She had complained that Ye Shu didn’t visit her father, Ye Qing. However, after she tried it herself, she realized that it was that woman from the Ye family who was trying to stop her.

Lu Fen and Ye Shu were included in the list of those who were not allowed to visit. That was why Lu Fen was especially concerned when Ye Qing wanted to see Ye Shu.

Just when Ye Shu was thinking about how to answer Lu Fen, her phone suddenly rang.

Ye Shu quickly found an excuse to return to her room and answered the call.

“How is it? You must have met your father!”

“Manager?” Ye Shu was surprised to hear the manager’s voice.

“I said I would make you pay for what you’ve done! If you don’t want your father to continue suffering, you’d better listen to me obediently!”

When Ye Shu heard the manager’s threatening words, she immediately understood why his father said that everything was because of her.

“What are you trying to do?” Ye Shu grabbed her phone tightly and asked, “I don’t know how I offended you!”

“If you were fired because of me, I can only apologize.”

However, the department manager sneered and said, “Do you know how much of my business you’ve ruined?”

“I don’t understand…” Ye Shu frowned. She didn’t understand what the department manager meant.

“I can’t be bothered to talk nonsense with you!”

“Remember, if you can’t get the Qi Corporation’s investment settled within a week, you’ll have to plan to bury your father!”

The department manager hung up without waiting for Ye Shu’s reply.

Ye Shu stared at her phone in a daze, not knowing how to react.

“Mom, I have something on and need to go out for a while. You can sleep with Xiao Xun first. You don’t have to wait for me!” Ye Shu said as she put on her coat and rushed out.

Lu Fen didn’t even have time to stop her and just watched her rush out of the door.

…

“Little master, you can’t leave this here. Young master will…” The old butler tried to persuade him.

Qi Heng and his son were practically made from the same mold.

Other than looks, their temper was exactly the same.

Qi Chen acted as if he did not hear the old butler as he continued to fiddle with his “things.”

“Father went back on his words!” Qi Chen pouted.

The old butler couldn’t help but feel emotional. Although the little master often had behavior patterns that surpassed normal children, the way he pouted after being wronged was really adorable!

“Young Master… may have gone back on his words, but Young Master will definitely be angry if you do this!”

“I will make him pay the price for breaking his promise!”

The old butler was stunned as he looked at what Qi Chen was placing. He could not help but sigh.

“This… I don’t know if Young Master will pay the price, but your treasure might be lost!”

The old butler said as he glanced at the core of the mechanism.

Qi Chen hesitated.

At that moment, the sound of the door opening could be heard.

Qi Chen was shocked. His hands trembled slightly as the mechanism was activated.

“Ah!” Qi Chen screamed and fell to the ground.

Qi Heng strode into the living room and saw his son sitting on the floor. His face was covered by something black.

“What’s going on?” Qi Heng sounded unhappy.

The old butler rushed forward and explained, “Little Young Master was about to take back his treasure, isn’t this…”

“Don’t explain it on his behalf!” Qi Heng interrupted the old butler. “Let him say it himself!”

Qi Chen finally put his treasure away before he stood up and stared at Qi Heng.

“Speak!” Qi Heng glared at Qi Chen..
