Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

Chapter 76

At the school gate.

A group of bodyguards were busy moving items, transferring numerous shopping bags from the trunks of two Rolls-Royces into the Bentley belonging to the Zuo family.

With so many clothes, the Bentley's trunk couldn't hold everything, so some had to be squeezed into the back seat.

The entire back seat was packed, leaving only the front passenger seat available.

Zuo Zichen spoke up quietly behind the two of them: "I'll take a taxi back by myself."

He was obedient, well-behaved, and never caused trouble.

Whatever the two of them asked him to do, he would do it. If they acted recklessly, he would clean up their mess.

He was the perfect scapegoat!

After saying this, Zuo Zichen headed across the street to hail a taxi, not daring to linger for even a moment.

Quan Zhisui turned back to Wei Shixu: "You really didn’t need to buy me clothes. My senior brother already got me some, and I have enough to wear."

Moreover, Zuo Zichen had handed over his allowance to her, so she now had enough for food and daily expenses, and she no longer had to skimp on feminine necessities.

Wei Shixu lowered his gaze: "I bought them earlier, and I picked them out carefully."

He wanted to see her wear all kinds of beautiful outfits, just for him.

Quan Zhisui sighed: "Alright, I get it. Go home and rest properly to recover from your injuries. I’ll make sure to discipline my brother."

"Mm," Wei Shixu replied, still looking down, his expression pitiful.

He watched as Quan Zhisui got into the Bentley and drove off, disappearing around the corner.

As soon as she was out of sight, Wei Shixu straightened his posture, strode to his car with brisk steps, and no longer looked the slightest bit weak or pitiful.

The Rolls-Royce started, and in the back seat, Qian Cheng couldn’t take his eyes off his young master’s rapid change in demeanor.

Wei Shixu adjusted the tight bandages around his wounds, his eyes sharp and calculating. "Uncle Qian, look into Quan Zhisui’s background," he said.

"Understood, young master," Qian Cheng replied, immediately pulling out his phone to issue the order.

But then Wei Shixu suddenly changed his mind: "Wait, no. Don’t investigate her."

Qian Cheng moved the phone slightly away from his ear, waiting for further instructions.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Wei Shixu’s eyes flickered as he continued adjusting the bandages: "Investigate half of it. Don’t dig too deep."

No one likes having their privacy invaded.

Having just reconciled with her, Wei Shixu didn’t want to push her away again.

Qian Cheng was puzzled: "What do you mean by 'half'?"

Wei Shixu straightened his sleeves, speaking quickly: "Find out her birthday. She was abandoned just a few days after birth, so the exact date is unclear, but we know the month. Look into the circumstances of her birth, and pull up her birth certificate. Oh, and her parents—her biological parents. Investigate anything related to Liangxi Town."

He added: "But don’t look into anything related to Wudang Mountain."

...

Back at the Zuo residence.

Quan Zhisui had just arrived when Zuo Zichen walked in. He had taken a taxi and arrived surprisingly quickly.

"Come with me," Quan Zhisui said sternly.

Zuo Zichen kept his head down and followed Quan Zhisui to the master bedroom on the second floor without a word.

Once inside, Zuo Zichen knew the drill. He closed the door behind them and knelt on the meditation cushion in the corner, assuming the "diamond kneeling" posture.

Quan Zhisui sat on the sofa, watching him with a complicated expression. "I told you to hit Wei Shixu, and you actually did it? Should I call you obedient or just plain stupid? Couldn’t you tell I was just joking?"

By telling Zuo Zichen to hit Wei Shixu, and him actually doing it, it was as if she had done it herself.

And yet, Wei Shixu had sent her a mountain of clothes.

What a mess!

Zuo Zichen kept his head down as he admitted his mistake: "I’m stupid. I didn’t realize you were joking. I just... hit him."

Inside, he was screaming!

He wasn’t actually that clueless. In the past, he had been reckless and never thought things through, but he had learned better now!

Zhuge Ying had opened his eyes!

Now, before doing anything, he would carefully consider the consequences and even try to imagine how his sister would handle the situation.

But no matter how cautious he was, he couldn’t stop Wei Shixu from going off the rails!

At the time, he had been in class, minding his own business and doing his homework, when suddenly Wei Shixu called him over and started beating him up.

It had been completely unexpected!

And now, he had to come home and get scolded by his sister again!

Ahhh!!!

Zuo Zichen was on the verge of losing his mind!!

Quan Zhisui massaged her temples: "Wei Shixu can’t find out about this."

Zuo Zichen: "..."

Quan Zhisui narrowed her eyes at him: "Don’t you dare tell Wei Shixu that I told you to hit him, or else... you know how strong my punches are!"

Zuo Zichen was on the verge of tears: "I understand, sis."

Quan Zhisui also felt a bit guilty. After all, it was her big mouth that had caused this mess.

She sighed: "Get up. Let’s eat first."

Zuo Zichen: "Okay, sis."
