Chapter 159 Apology
Chapter 159 Apology
Qi Yan did not pay too much attention to the hot topics on Campus Star Network. He just glanced at them briefly and focused on the latest political news.
During this period, the most sensational event on Starnet was the downfall of the Dai family.
Because of the fall of the Dai family, the leading forces are all ready to make a move. The first-rate forces are trying to divide up the Dai family's piece of cake, the second-rate forces want to take the opportunity to become the first-rate, and even the royal family is ready to make a move.
Fortunately, when Huo Linyuan arrested Dai Heming, he had already completed his layout. While carrying out the arrest, he took control of all the industries under the name of the Dai family on the pretext of investigation.
However, the royal family was not happy about this, and they tried to force the military to hand over the Dai family's property by making overt and covert moves.
In addition to this, there was another incident that was neither big nor small. Although the reaction was not as enthusiastic as the fall of the Dai family, it also caused quite a stir on Starnet.
That is the wanted warrant for Sascot. Since the reason for the wanted warrant has not been revealed yet, there are many different opinions on the Star Network.
Qi Yan recalled that when he was in Motiya before, his impression of this lord was that he was very measured and never made any mistakes.
So when he saw the news, his first reaction, like other netizens, was surprise.
But then Qi Yan couldn't help but worry. There was no news from Huo Linyuan now, and Qi Yan didn't dare to contact him easily for fear of disturbing him.
Although Wen Yi said everything was normal, it did not alleviate his worries at all.
In addition, when mentioning Motiya, Qi Yan couldn't help but think of Lin Che.
These past two days he had been wondering whether the man in black he had seen before was Lin Che, and what was Lin Che's connection with the rebels and Sascott?
Qi Yan sat on the swing woven by Chouchou, swinging absentmindedly, with a mixture of thoughts in her mind.
At this time, a tall figure was wandering at the door of the villa. Huo Chuan walked over and the two talked for a while. Huo Chuan seemed very embarrassed.
"Butler, what's wrong?" Qi Yan walked over and asked.
Before Huo Chuan could speak, he heard the man say, "Please!"
Qi Yan felt that the voice sounded familiar, so she turned her head to look at the person.
The person who came was a tall young man who looked to be in his twenties.
The moment Kanster saw Qi Yan, he was stunned and his face flushed involuntarily.
Upon seeing this, Huo Chuan immediately hid Qi Yan behind him. The polite smile on his face suddenly fell.
Qi Yan didn't understand, so she poked her head out and asked, "Are you looking for someone?"
This person doesn't look like someone from the military, but the only way he could come to the Marshal's Mansion is to look for Huo Linyuan, so Qi Yan couldn't help but feel curious.
"Hey, young master, what are you doing outside? Go back quickly." Huo Chuan hurriedly pushed Qi Yan back.
After seeing the way that man looked at Qi Yan, alarm bells rang in Huo Chuan's heart. In Huo Chuan's eyes, all those who coveted or might covet Qi Yan were a scourge.
"Please wait a moment, please let me see the marshal's little mermaid, just once!" Seeing Huo Chuan pushing Qi Yan away, Kanster came back to his senses in an instant and spoke hurriedly.
I don’t know if he was afraid of not seeing the little mermaid or he didn’t want Qi Yan to leave, but his voice sounded very anxious.
Qi Yan was stunned, stopped and looked back in confusion.
Seeing this, Huo Chuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Qi Yan patted his hand and comforted him, "It's okay, Grandpa Butler."
Then he looked at Canster: "Why do you want to see the little mermaid?"
"I..." For some reason, Kanster didn't dare to look directly at Qi Yan, and his tone became hesitant.
Seeing his suspicious attitude, Qi Yan became secretly alert.
"What are you all doing gathered at the door?" Just then, Li Jia came out.
"Daddy."
"Little Uncle Wang?"
Qi Yan and Kanster spoke at the same time, and then they looked at each other at the same time, with surprise in their eyes.
When Li Jia saw Kanster, he couldn't help but frowned. He walked to Qi Yan, first touched Qi Yan's head soothingly, then put his arm around Qi Yan's shoulders and turned back.
Kanster stopped where he was, not knowing what to do. At this moment, Liga said coldly, "Follow me in."
After a moment's pause, the disappointment on Kanster's face immediately turned into joy.
-
In the hall.
"You're back from Cecilia so soon. Did my good-for-nothing brother give you a backdoor?" Liga said coldly.
Hearing this, Kanster's cheeks turned red and he was angry.
But when he met Qi Yan's puzzled gaze, his anger subsided instantly.
Subconsciously straightening up, he replied, "No."
Liga was quite satisfied with his answer. He naturally knew that Canster did not forge the facts, because Cecilia was not a place where one could speak with royal power.
Those who can come out must have relied on their own strength. The reason why he said this is nothing more than to test whether Canster has made any progress. Now it seems that he is indeed much calmer than before.
"Tell me, what are you doing here?" Li Jia asked.
"I..." At this time, Kanster hesitated.
After a moment, he clenched his fists and finally made up his mind: "I want to apologize to the little mermaid."
Qi Yan: ???
Li Jia looked at him quietly without responding.
After a long time, just when Canster was about to lose control of his expression, Liga raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a tone that was neither happy nor angry: "How do you know that the little mermaid is still alive?"
"Do you think he can still survive after you guys drugged him?"
Hearing this, Kanster's heart tightened, but then he loudly refuted: "Impossible!"
Liga looked at him with an ambiguous expression and narrowed his eyes. Kanster's voice gradually dropped: "That medicine is just an ordinary insecticide. It won't... kill you."
As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, and more and more difficult.
Orcs have always had a keen sense of smell, and his words confirmed Liga's guess. Otherwise, Liga's punishment for him would definitely not be limited to this.
"I will convey your apology, but you should know whether you should be forgiven or not."
"Go back to school now. If you do it again, I will break your legs myself and throw you into Cecilia."
Liga's voice was not harsh, but Kanster had no doubt about the truth of his words.
Finally, he glanced at Qi Yan, gritted his teeth, and walked away under Li Jia's extremely oppressive gaze.
"Dad, what did he mean?" Qi Yan didn't dare to interrupt the conversation between the two just now. Now that Kanster had left, he immediately began to ask questions.
Li Jia sighed and told him the truth about how Kanster and Lanxi had harmed him before.
Since Qi Yan did not ask about the results of the investigation at the time, he forgot about the matter over time.
"Baby, are you going to forgive him?" Li Jia touched his head gently.
Qi Yan shook her head. Li Jia was stunned for a moment, then said, "It doesn't matter even if you don't forgive me."
However, Qi Yan smiled brightly: "I don't blame him at all."
Li Jia was stunned again, but then he showed an expression of "as expected" and then hugged Qi Yan in his arms.
In fact, Qi Yan did not lie. He had no memory of what happened that day. Moreover, according to what Li Jia said, it was not Kanster who harmed him.
Strictly speaking, in the matter of harming him, Kanster only helped Lanxi hide the process of the crime and might not even be considered an accomplice, so naturally he could not talk about resentment.
