Evidence
From the account of the task to today has been more than six days less than seven days, so professional private investigators, actually nearly a week to get it done, visible evidence of how difficult to find.
Qi Xingchen was ready to go back to H city, but he didn't want to take more time off from work. But he didn't want to take more time off, so after shooting that day's scene, he took a day off with Director Zhou and headed to H City overnight.
The plane landed late at night, the Qi family's chauffeur is leaning on the main car drowsy. When he saw him coming, he quickly got out and opened the door, "Mr. Keefe."
"I'm sorry to bother you so late," Qi Xingchen apologized, "You've worked hard."
"It's not hard, it's all I have to do, where do you want to go?"
"It's the same hospital as last time."
"Got it." The driver answered and immediately drove towards the hospital.
Time is urgent, Qi Xingchen and want to see Tao Xuan, but also want to get the results of the first time to find Liang Jing, simply with the detective in Jing'an Hospital. When it was hard to get to the ward, Tao Xuan has already slept, he looked through the glass for a while, feeling Tao Xuan's state is much better than the last time we met, and then took the detective to the next rest room.
The lounge is the VIP ward's own lounge, with no surveillance or outsiders in it, so it's more private. Qi Xingchen asked the night nurse for the key and locked the door.
The detective immediately handed him two file folders.
"Mr. Qi, on the left side of the bag is the pregnancy test you asked for, on the right side is Miss Tao's medical check-up slip and the medical record of the province's healthcare system. The records show that Ms. Tao's ID has only been registered at one hospital in the last three months, take a look."
Qi Xingchen most want to see the test paper, first open the left file bag, a bad smell then wafted out.
"Why does it stink?" Qi Xingchen frowned.
"I hired over a hundred people and found it at the landfill. Speaking of which, it's also your luck that the bag of garbage was in the sorting area at that time, not in the landfill area, if it's in the landfill, there's only a one percent probability that it can be dug out," the detective paused and lifted up a plastic bag, "This is the garbage bag that contains the test strips, would you like it? I still have the neighborhood surveillance video of Ms. Tao's assistant throwing trash here."
"...... Don't," Qi Xingchen crumbled, "just give me the video."
The video would prove the origin of the test strips, and the detective complied by sending him the video. While waiting for it to download, Qi Xingchen pulls out the contents of the left file pocket and freezes.
The opening of the box containing the test strips is labeled with the pharmaceutical company's anti-counterfeiting logo.
After removing the security markings and unwrapping the box, the pregnancy test inside not only had no indication about whether or not you were pregnant, it didn't even have an indicator line.
What does that mean?
That means Tao Tao didn't use the pregnancy test at all!
A wave of anger surged through his brain, and Qi Xingchen almost pressed on, shaking his hand as he opened another file bag.
As expected, Tao Tao did go to the hospital after her "miscarriage". Only she had a routine general check-up, nothing to do with obstetrics or gynecology.
...... The pregnancy doesn't exist, and the miscarriage doesn't exist - she's been lying to Liang Jing from start to finish!
If Tao Tao had put some effort into faking, Qi Xingchen might not have been so angry. But apparently she pinpointed Liang Jing's gullible and kind character, found some pictures on the Internet, or randomly photoshopped a few pictures, and easily fooled Liang Jing.
Kisei's eyes blackened and he couldn't wait to confront Tao Tao right now!
Through this incident, Qi Xingchen was basically certain that Tao Tao possessed self-awareness. And for some reason, she grasped the personality traits of every character in "Peach of the Night" exceptionally clearly, so it was very convenient for her to act.
It's also established that everything she's doing now - including tricking Liang Jing into donating a kidney - is aimed at fixing the plot and achieving the outcome the plot deserves.
So after Liang Jing's kidney donation, the next storyline is ...... Qi's capital empire collapsed, the Qi family is officially headed for bankruptcy, the whole family into the cemetery.
Thinking about this, Qi Xingchen pulled down his face, his expression becoming more and more ugly.
At first he would choose to see the "Peach of the Night" because there is and he has the same name and surname of the cannon fodder characters, boys originally do not love to read romance novels, Liang Jing kidney donation this plot and too ancient Ma Lisu, did not wait to adhere to this part, he deleted the text.
He didn't know anything about how and by what means the QI family was brought down later.
Qi Xingchen slaps his head in annoyance, especially regretting why he didn't finish it in the first place.
.
After sending the detective away, it was already past two o'clock in the morning. Qi Xingchen leaned against the lounge bed and slept for a while, sleeping uneasily and having many dreams over and over again.
Most of them are related to the Qi family, and all of them are nightmares. In the dream, the Qi family's lake villa was put on the seal of public auction; Qi old man white head overnight, heart attack hospitalized; elder brother hands were shackled firmly, emaciated, no longer see nowadays the appearance of the proud son of the business community; sister is sold all the valuable clothes and jewelry, running around to make some connections, and even not hesitate to sell the beauty of the father and brother, just to let the father and brother to live a little bit better.
"Hoo... hoo..." Qi Xingchen's heart felt as if it had been pinched hard by a hand, and it hurt to breathe heavily.
"Mr. Ki, Mr. Ki?"
It wasn't until a female voice came to his ear that he woke up in a sweat. Sitting up and slowing down for a long time before the choking sensation faded, he turned to the person who had called him, "What time is it?"
The caregiver who came to change shifts replied, "Seven-thirty."
"It's dawn," Qi Xingchen rubbed his temples, "Is Tao Xuan awake yet?"
"No, he's been getting up after eight lately for routine checkups."
"Okay, then you get busy, I'll go to Professor Liang's office."
With that, Qi Xingchen got up and walked out. Halfway there, the caregiver called out to him, "Mr. Qi, I see that you look very pale and your clothes are wet, do you need to register for a checkup?"
Qi Xingchen rubbed her back, only to realize that the back center of her sweatshirt was soaked to the bone. Shaking his head to indicate that he didn't need it, he turned around and went into the nearby bathroom.
He didn't want Liang Jing to see the abnormality and turned on the faucet to wash his face. When he took out a paper towel to wipe his face, the person in the mirror was pale and bloodless.
Something to do with the fact that he had tossed and turned all night without a good night's rest, and something to do with the dream he had just had.
Those dreams were too real, so real that it was like it had already happened once, so real that until now, he still had a heart attack.
...... Even if he took this life, Qi Xingchen thought, he would never let the scene in the dream happen to the Qi family.
Qi Xingchen gulped down a handful of water, the cold winter tap water cutting through his throat finally calming him down a bit.
Remembering Liang Jing's comment that it would be best to call him before going to his office, Qi Xingchen took out his cell phone to send a good morning message to Bai Ye, and then dialed Liang Jing's number.
Liang Jing probably set a special call bell for him and answered quickly, "Hello?"
"It's me," Qi Xingchen opened the door, "I'm at the hospital, I need to see you, are you here?"
"Just happened to be just arriving, did you have breakfast."
"Didn't eat, not hungry."
"Go to the lab and wait for me for a few minutes, open the door with the code 1228," Liang Jing said, "I'm alone this morning, don't be afraid, I'll be there soon."
Qi Xingchen hung up the phone and went upstairs as instructed.
When he pressed the password, he realized in hindsight that 1228 was his and the original owner's common birthday, and a faint trace of guilt surged in his heart - if he hadn't taken over the original owner's body, Liang Jing would probably have already cultivated a fruitful relationship with the original owner by now.
But things have come to a head, time can't be turned back, he already has Bai Ye, he can't love Liang Jing unreservedly like the original owner.
Unable to give a response, he only dared to promise that he would do his best to keep Liang Jing from appearing on top of the tombstone with Qi's family.
After waiting for almost twenty minutes, Liang Jing came up with a few lunch boxes, which looked like they were made in the hospital cafeteria, and the porridge was still steaming.
"Eat something first," Liang Jing opened the lid of the box and sat down across from him, "Why did you come back all of a sudden?"
Qi Xingchen did not have an appetite, but in order not to waste Liang Jing deliberately took a bun in his mouth, "There is something I want to show you."
As he said that, he pushed the file bag to Liang Jing, who took it suspiciously--
The moment I saw the contents, I was even more surprised than Qi Xingchen!
"The last time you told me Tao Tao was pregnant, I asked a private investigator to check her garbage bags and medical records, and these are the pieces of evidence that came up. As a medical student, you should know what they mean better than I do."
"It means that ...... Tao Tao is not pregnant," Liang Jing hesitated for a moment, "but why did she lie to me?"
Last time in order to stop Liang Jing kidney donation, under the excitement of Qi Xingchen revealed the fact that he knows the plot, this time he does not intend to continue to hide, first, because Liang Jing has long seen that he is not the original master, and secondly, because of the limited ability of him alone, it is difficult to hold up the burden of saving the Qi family.
He needs help.
But Qi Xingchen didn't want to tell Liang Jing that he was actually the paper man in the book, that would be too cruel to a "human being" who had grown up normally, so he could slowly instill it later.
Qi Xingchen changed his words in discretion, "Perhaps it sounds a bit bizarre, but I do come from another dimension. Before entering this space, I knew a lot of upcoming episodes through certain channels. These include your treatment of Tao Xuan, Tao Tao's younger brother, and also your decision to donate your kidney to Tao Xuan. However, due to my inclusion, some of the plots have been invalidated, and as a result, they have been changed into another."
Liang Jing, as expected of a highly intelligent person, immediately picked up, "For example, I was supposed to fall in love with Tao Tao and donate a kidney to make her happy, instead of making up for her miscarriage?"
"Yes," Qi Xingchen nodded affirmatively, "And not only did she not have a miscarriage, she didn't have sex with you either, if you don't believe me, you can look at the medical report."
The gynecology section of the medical report clearly states that the patient has no sexual history and does not need to attend a gynecological examination.
"So ......"
Liang Jing Body leaned back heavily, his expression was hard to say, it was hard to say whether it was more relaxed or angry, "So the so-called 'drunkenness and disordered 丨sex'is nothing but a play she directed herself, and I've been fooled all the time."
Qi Xingchen didn't say anything as an acquiescence, then comforted, "I don't blame you, she's the most dominant character in this space, besides me, all of you will be affected by her to a greater or lesser extent."
Liang Jing frowned as he was a bit confused.
"I can't tell you the specifics right now, I'll tell you all about it one by one after the rest of the crisis is resolved, I hope you can trust me."
Liang Jing didn't even think about it, "Of course I believe you."
The tone is decisive and sound, Qi Xingchen did not expect him to agree so painfully.
After all, in terms of time, they had only known each other for half a year, and had seen each other so little that Liang Jing was already surprised that she liked him, not to mention the heavy weight of the word "trust".
Especially just now, that statement was as bizarre as it was absurd.
He couldn't guess where the other party's trust came from, but there was no denying that Liang Jing's choice to stand on his side was the best outcome. Qi Xingchen solemnly said, "Thank you for being willing to trust me, I will show you with my actions that you haven't misjudged anyone."
Liang Jing didn't say anything and ordered the lunch box, "Hurry up and drink the congee, it will get cold later."
With another character out of the shadows, Qi Xingchen was in a much better mood as he picked up his bowl of congee and "gulped it down".
Looking at the way he ate, Liang Jing could not help but think of the little Xingchen he once was - although little Xingchen was rebellious, he was born in a wealthy family, and he did not lack the same manners and temperament he should have. He had never eaten like Qi Xingchen, as if he had eaten his last meal and had no next meal.
A bowl of congee quickly finished, Qi Xingchen contentedly wiped his mouth. Liang Jing knew that the other party to find him showdown is not just to help clear the wrongdoing, must have another purpose, lowered his voice and asked: "Now there is no need for me to help the place, just say, I will certainly do."
Qi Xingchen sighed at his intelligence and sighed, "I'm not going to lie, there is indeed something I need you to help me with. In the future, the Qi family will go bankrupt, and I would like to ask you to help me transfer a few funds abroad."
The best way to resolve bankruptcy is actually to tell your father and brother the truth so they can take precautions ahead of time.
But he didn't dare to take the risk, how much Qi's family loved the original owner was obvious to all eyes. He wasn't sure if his family would hate him for occupying the original owner's body or choose to accept him once they realized his identity as an outsider.
Once he became disgusted with him, then he wouldn't even have a chance to save the Qi family.
He can't afford the consequences.
That's why Qi Xingchen is planning to do two things, hinting to his family that he's keeping an eye on the company while secretly transferring his assets.
This way, even if Tao Tao interferes and really bankrupts the Qi family, he can still take his family far away and spend the rest of his life in a place where there is no strife.
In his conception, their life may not be as flashy as it is now, but as long as the family is together, it is the simplest and greatest happiness.
Liang Jing himself also knows more about the foreign market, so he naturally agreed, "Yes, how much money do you have?"
Qi Xingchen put a number on it, "More money will come in later."
Examples include revenues from the South African drill mines, SeaWorld and his own film credits, endorsement fees, etc.
"The volume is too large to go through a personal account," Liang Jing thought for a moment, "How about this, I'll register a few research labs in my name. After the project is established, your money will be transferred as the investment funds for the project, okay?"
"OK, thanks a lot."
"You're welcome. By the way--"
Liang Jing paused for a moment, "There's a question I've been wanting to ask, and I don't know if it's convenient for you to answer."
"Convenient, go ahead."
"The original little Xingchen ......" Liang Jing's voice was hard, "Is he still alive?"
Is he still alive?
Qi Xingchen lowered her eyes, unwilling to say, but having to say, "I'm sorry, he's not here anymore."
It was one thing to speculate, another to learn the truth, and Liang Jing had trouble bearing the answer, swaying twice, his head buzzing, barely keeping his composure, "So how did he go, and did it hurt when he did?"
"He died when he was pushed and accidentally fell on the back of his head, I guess ...... It probably didn't hurt that much."
His little Xingchen, the little tail that had always been glued to his back, had suddenly disappeared without waiting for him to return home.
Even if you can't give little Xingchen the love he wants, but the friendship we grew up with is no less than blood relatives, Liang Jing finally couldn't restrain himself and cried out with his hands on his head.
Qi Xingchen opened his mouth, but his words of comfort were slow to come. For the first time in his life, he understood the powerlessness of words, and could only hand Liang Jing a packet of tissues and stay with him quietly.
I don't know how long I've been crying, but Liang Jing finally lowered her arms, dried her red, swollen eyes, put on her glasses, and said in a thick nasal voice, "I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"That's okay," Qi Xingchen shook his head, "Tell me about little Xingchen sometime later, I'd love to meet him too."
"Yes, when you come back next time."
Qi Xingchen "hmmm" and took a deep breath, "I won't be staying much longer then, just remember to keep an eye on Tao Tao and try not to get involved with her any more."
After being cheated once, Liang Jing has become wary of Tao Tao and will never fall for her tricks in the future. He answered and escorted Qi Xingchen to the elevator.
Before entering the elevator, Liang Jing asked, "What should I call you from now on?"
"My name is Qi Xingchen too," Qi Xingchen smiled, "If you miss little Xingchen, you can think of me as him."
Liang Jing, however, disagreed, "No, you are you and he is him. He is irreplaceable, you are equally irreplaceable ...... How about I call you Star?"
Besides Bai Ye, no one had ever said he was irreplaceable, Qi Xingchen's chest ached at the words, and he sniffled, "Okay, Brother Liang Jing."
