Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 489: Zhang Wenhao Injured

Qin Yi and Liu Yiren pondered for a while, but were not satisfied with any of the names they came up with.

"Honey, stop thinking about it. Take a break, we can think about it slowly later."

"Okay." Xia Yanbing nodded, resting on Qin Yi’s arm, she curled up in his embrace and quickly fell asleep.

However, Xia Yanbing only slept for about an hour, and sleeping more now would make it hard for her to sleep at night.

The two got up and went downstairs. Only Lin Hongzhuang was there.

Lin Hongzhuang hurried over, pulled Xia Yanbing aside, and looked her over for a long time, "Bingbing, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Xia Yanbing was puzzled, "No, why would I feel uncomfortable?"

Lin Hongzhuang blushed, "Bingbing, you’ve been led astray by this guy. Is that kind of thing really that comfortable?"

Qin Yi: "..."

Xia Yanbing was taken aback, then understood immediately, and said resentfully, "Qin Yi held me while I rested for a while. We didn’t do anything, what are you thinking about all day?"

Lin Hongzhuang glared at Qin Yi, "I don’t believe this guy with one track mind can hold back."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "Lin Hongzhuang, may I ask what brand of stinky tofu you’ve eaten that makes your mouth smell so bad? Even the neighbor’s pet dog speaks better than you."

"I ate Qin Yi brand stinky tofu."

Xia Yanbing quickly tried to stop the fight, "Alright, you two stop arguing. Linlin, where are the others?"

Lin Hongzhuang glared at Qin Yi, pulled Xia Yanbing to sit down, and finally spoke, "They all went grocery shopping, said it’s to help Yun Mengyao get familiar with the market."

Qin Yi’s lips curled slightly, this surely must be Duan Yiyi’s idea.

"Honey, I might not be able to have dinner with you tonight. Now that I’m back, it’s not right not to say hello to Liu Zhanyuan and the others."

Xia Yanbing nodded, "Go ahead, it’s okay. Just drink less alcohol."

"Mm!" Qin Yi nodded.

Qin Yi called Liu Zhanyuan.

"Mr. Qin, you’re back?" Liu Zhanyuan’s voice was full of surprise.

"Yes, let’s arrange to meet up with Dong Zhiping and the others tonight, at Jinyuan Hotel, let’s gather."

Liu Zhanyuan hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Qin, Zhang Wenhao might not be able to make it."

"Why?" Qin Yi was surprised.

"He got injured, he’s in the hospital now."

Qin Yi frowned, "How did he get injured? Never mind, which hospital is he in, I’ll go see him."

"Mr. Qin, I’ll send the ward number to your phone later."

"Alright." Qin Yi hung up the phone.

"Honey, who got injured?"

Qin Yi said, "Zhang Wenhao."

Xia Yanbing was surprised, "What happened? I haven’t heard anything about it."

"Maybe because you’re pregnant, they didn’t tell you. It’s okay, I’ll go to the hospital to see him."

"Then send my regards, I won’t go in my current state."

Qin Yi nodded.

...

...

City Renmin Hospital, VIP ward.

More than a dozen tall and strong men stood guard at the door.

"Mr. Qin!"

Upon seeing Qin Yi, Zhang Hao hurriedly came up to invite him into the ward.

Zhang Wenhao was lying pale on the hospital bed with an IV drip, and when he saw Qin Yi, he struggled to sit up.

"Just lie down quietly." Qin Yi quickly stopped him.

Zhang Wenhao’s face lit up with joy, "Mr. Qin, when did you get back?"

"I didn’t get back long ago. How did you end up like this?"

Zhang Wenhao smiled, "It’s nothing, a minor injury, I’ll be fine after some rest."

"Don’t pretend, what exactly happened?" Qin Yi asked, sensing Zhang Wenhao’s weak aura, severely lacking in energy, spirit, and vitality, completely different from when he last saw him.

Zhang Hao said, "It was Cheng Yongnan."

"Who is Cheng Yongnan?"

"Cheng Yongnan is one of my dad’s top officers, he’s been with my dad for over twenty years, and my dad trusts him deeply. Unexpectedly, this bastard harbored ambitions and wanted to establish his own power, my dad was set up and almost lost his life..."

It turned out that this Cheng Yongnan was Zhang Wenhao’s reliable aide, someone he trusted completely, and most of the Zhang family’s KTVs, bars, and entertainment venues were managed by Cheng Yongnan.

For years, Cheng Yongnan had been very dedicated, but a few days ago, Cheng Yongnan said he had something to discuss with Zhang Wenhao, and unexpectedly, he had laid an ambush with many people. Zhang Wenhao’s men were all killed and if it weren’t for the Death Replacement Talisman, Zhang Wenhao might have died too.

Qin Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Is this Cheng Yongnan a Qi Refiner?"

Zhang Hao shook his head, "No."

"This can’t be, not just anyone can break my Death Replacement Talisman." Qin Yi was puzzled and stepped forward to examine it, surprised, "Strange, the Death Replacement Talisman is intact."

"Mr. Qin, it was poison." Zhang Wenhao said sullenly, "When I went in, I wasn’t on guard and drank a cup of tea Cheng Yongnan gave me, and ended up like this."

Poison?

Qin Yi raised his hand, and a purple light enveloped Zhang Wenhao. But soon, Qin Yi’s expression turned somber.

"This isn’t poison."

Qin Yi lifted his hand, drawing out a black mist from Zhang Wenhao’s brow.

"Soul-devouring Demon."

Zhang Wenhao was shocked, "Another Soul-devouring Demon?"

Last time, a Soul-devouring Demon had controlled Zhang Hao. If it weren’t for Qin Yi, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Qin Yi’s eyes were cold, the Death Replacement Talisman guarded against external forces, but the demonic Qi of the Soul-devouring Demon had entered Zhang Wenhao’s body through the tea, continuously devouring Zhang Wenhao’s essence energy, no wonder Zhang Wenhao was so weak.

"Didn’t you notice the change in Cheng Yongnan’s eyes? People possessed by a Soul-devouring Demon will always have changes in their eyes."

Zhang Wenhao pondered for a moment, "Mr. Qin, honestly speaking, I was sitting face to face with Cheng Yongnan and his eyes had no problem whatsoever."

Qin Yi’s expression shifted slightly, could it be that the Soul-devouring Demon had completely adapted to Earth’s environment, concealing this weakness? Or had the Soul-devouring Demon become strong enough to leave no traces after possession?

No matter what the possibility was, the consequences were severe.

Without the tell-tale sign of changed eyes, it would be almost impossible to distinguish whether it was the original person or the Soul-devouring Demon.

He had once mentioned this possibility to Duan Xinyuan, and now it seemed it might have already come true.

Qin Yi raised his hand, the purple light enveloping Zhang Wenhao, healing and soothing his meridians.

Zhang Wenhao was filled with excitement because he could clearly feel his body rapidly recovering, his essence energy abundantly returning, as if he had grown ten years younger.

Before long, Qin Yi withdrew his hand, "Alright, it’s fine now."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Zhang Wenhao was truly excited.

Qin Yi waved his hand, "I need to see this Cheng Yongnan."

Zhang Wenhao and Zhang Hao were beyond excited, Qin Yi’s intervention meant Cheng Yongnan was of no concern.

"Zhang Shun, go and find out where Cheng Yongnan is."

Zhang Shun nodded, bowing to Qin Yi, "I’ll go check right now."

Qin Yi thought for a moment, then stepped aside, took out his phone, and called Yun Mengyao.

At this moment, Yun Mengyao was under Duan Yiyi’s guidance, looking aggrieved as she picked vegetables. She, a Saintess of the Feather Clan, had fallen to such a state. Qin Yi, you big jerk, if one day you fall into my hands, I’ll make sure you go shovel manure.
