Chapter 156 - DID YOU HALLUCINATE?
Qi Han looked at Mo Ge with black hostile eyes. He could not help feeling irritated about the teasing even though he understood his friend's personality quite well. The matter involving that woman felt too sensitive and sacred to him.
"Fine, there's no need to look at me with murder in your eyes. I was just kidding." Mo Ge smiled while sipping on his red wine elegantly. "But it seems that I am onto something."
If Mo Ge was not like a brother, Qi Han would have long cut off all relations with him. He could be an irritating person who did not believe that there are things which should remain unsaid. In the end, he could only look at the smiling man scathingly.
"Qi Han, if there is something troubling you, we could be of some help. After all, we are all brothers here. There is no need to hold back." Wang Che maintained his calm and princely aura.
When Qi Han and Mo Ge had met Wang Che in high school, they had been endlessly irritated by this princely aspect. It was unbelievable that someone could always be tranquil at all times. He had seemed like a big faker.
Over time, they had realised that Wang Che was just like that. He was a polite and collected gentleman with unrivalled manners. However, this did not mean that he was a soft guy. He was a tough businessman with unimaginable intellect. If they were in a tough spot, they would consult him. He would almost always have a solution.
Qi Han thought about his words for a moment before nodding. Wang Che's composed face did not change while Mo Ge's eyes twinkled like brilliant stars. He had never been one to resist gossip, especially about his friends.
"It is like this. Do you remember that I went to meet up with my stepbrother some time ago?" Qi Han asked.
"Yeah, we told you it was a bad idea." Mo Ge responded immediately with a knowing smile.
Qi Han felt a little embarrassed about the entire matter. He had always been confident about his capabilities and intuition, but he had been wrong about that incident. He had not believed that his brother would attempt to make a move against him so suddenly. They had always maintained peace, and he had never treated the boy poorly.
"I remember. He somehow drugged me and sent me off into the hands of a gang. He wanted to learn about a certain hidden matter in our family so that he could take over everything. I believe that his intention was to get the information and make it seem like I was robbed and killed while walking carelessly in the downtown." Qi Han explained his thoughts.
"I told you that you should have gotten rid of that b*stard a long time ago. He has never held good intentions towards you." Mo Ge said heatedly.
As a passionate man, his emotions were always a little too open. He would always express himself without thinking a lot. As a result, he was a good friend, but he could not be considered a reliable person in other things. Even his siblings did not consider him to be a threat.
"How did you deal with him?" Wang Che asked with a slight frown.
"I banished him from the country and sent him off to roam in Europe." Qi Han responded.
"Are you quite certain that he will not find his way back?" The princely man pressed on.
"I will monitor his movements in case he does something unusual. Anyway, this was not the point of the story." Qi Han shifted his position as he got to the core of the tale. "While I was in the hands of the small gang, they shot me in the name of interrogation."
Mo Ge's mouth fell open in shock. He had never seen these types of dark matters in Supreme City. Wang Lei, on the other hand, simply frowned a little and continued drinking with unperturbed grace.
"I thought I was going to die for sure. However, an angel appeared and saved me." Qi Han said with an inexplicable smile.
This time, even Wang Che could not keep his composure. He did not join Mo Ge in spurting out his drink from his mouth. However, his eyebrows were lifted in surprise.
"Did you hallucinate?" Mo Ge asked after regaining his composure.
Qi Han's face darkened.
"I did not mean a literal angel, you idiots. It was a person." He explained with annoyance.
"Then why did you say it like that?" Mo Ge grumbled.
Qi Han realised that his wording might have been misleading. However, who would assume that there was an actual angel involved? He did not know that his friends had been shocked because they thought that he had lost his mind.
"The angel was a woman on a motorcycle. She just rode directly to the gang members while they were shooting at her. They were completely helpless against her. When she took off her helmet, I could not believe that it was just a little woman. Then, she did some type of acupuncture on me to prevent bleeding. The doctor said that if it was not for the first aid, I would have probably bled out. So, she saved my life twice." Qi Han's face brightened as he talked about her.
"Oh, so who is this angel?" Mo Ge asked with a cheeky smile.
"That is the problem. I have not been able to find her. I have searched the entire city, and it is like she disappeared completely." Qi Han lamented.
"How is that possible?" Mo Ge asked. He knew that the Qi family had their special methods and resources for finding hidden information. If they were looking for someone, it would be impossible for that person to escape.
"Could it be that you do not know her name?" Wang Che asked.
Qi Han coughed in embarrassment when this matter was pointed out. It was as one would expect from this smart man with unbroken records in their elite school. He could discover the problem without much explanation.
"But Qi Han could have used an artist to have the picture sketched out." Mo Ge thought about this immediately.
Unfortunately, he was no match for Wang Che.
"If I can take my guess, I would say that Qi Han's memories about her are a bit hazy. He had probably already lost plenty of blood by the time the woman arrived. Also, it is likely that this incident took place in a poorly lit area. Moreover, there will be embellishment of the memory because of the circumstances surrounding the meeting. Therefore, it would be difficult for Han to have a usable sketch made." Wang Che explained calmly.
"Can't you give me a break? I was shot. I could have died." Qi Han complained.
The only flaw in the otherwise perfect Wang Che was his love for unmasking mysteries and explaining everything in a know-it-all tone. In other words, he was like a certain little detective with an adult brain. It was amazing, but at the same time, very annoying.
