Chapter 128: Shao Qihai Is Here Too

Ji Buwang accurately caught the words ‘older brother’.

“Shao Qihai is your brother? Your biological brother?”

“That’s right. You know my brother? When did you meet him?” Shao Qiyang pressed on.

“A few years ago.” Ji Buwang’s expression was strange. He looked at Mu Jingzhe and then at Shao Qiyang. “So you are Shao Qihai’s younger brother. How many older brothers do you have?”

He looked at Little Bei with suspicion in his eyes. “Could Little Bei be…”

“Yes, Little Bei and the others are my older brother’s children.” Shao Qiyang nodded.

Ji Buwang: “…”

Ji Buwang suddenly lost the ability to speak. He hadn’t expected the five kids to be Shao Qihai’s children.

Because Mu Jingzhe had said that he didn’t want Ji Buwang to investigate her, he had never investigated her. The children had never mentioned Shao Qihai’s name either, so he had never known.

During this period of time, he had wanted to be the stepfather of Shao Qihai’s children?

His mind was a mess for a moment, but then he accurately grasped the information regarding the stepfather part. His mood instantly turned cold.

“Shao Qihai… is gone?” Mu Jingzhe’s husband was dead!

“You didn’t know?” Shao Qiyang asked back.

A rhetorical question was still an answer. Ji Buwang was stunned for a moment. He had been in a coma for four years, so he had lagged behind on news. He didn’t even know that Shao Qihai was already dead.

They weren’t familiar with each other, but he remembered him because they used to be rare opponents.

While he had been unconscious, no one had deliberately come to tell him about Shao Qihai’s condition.

It was only today that he finally knew that Shao Qihai was gone. Besides, he had been eyeing his widow covetously, yearning to marry her and even become his children’s stepfather.

Ji Buwang was a little confused at that moment and he sighed in his heart with guilt.

He hadn’t done it on purpose. He hadn’t come to snatch Shao Qihai’s widow. It was fate that had allowed them to meet, and it was fate that allowed him to only see Mu Jingzhe.

He originally hadn’t known that Mu Jingzhe was his wife, or he might have restrained himself. Now that he knew, it was too late.

Upon thinking of this, Ji Buwang felt an inexplicable sense of guilt toward Shao Qiyang.

When Shao Qiyang heard that Ji Buwang actually knew Shao Qihai, besides feeling furious, he also felt a trace of guilt. After all, he was the brother-in-law and he also…

The two of them had different thoughts. After that, they were very polite to each other, but there was a hint of vigilance and awkwardness in their politeness.

The atmosphere became very strange. Mu Jingzhe, who was with them, also felt awkward.

Outside the ward, Shao Qihai, who was watching this strange scene, was speechless.

Shao Qihai was the last to arrive. Ever since their last encounter, he had been worried about Mu Jingzhe.

However, they couldn’t do anything for the time being. Because of Old Fish’s unexpected arrest, they had followed the vine to fish out the melon. They had helped capture a large number of Old Fish’s accomplices.

Although most of them had been caught, a portion of them had still escaped.

After Shao Qihai was done with his work, he had heard that Mu Jingzhe and the kids had been attacked by venomous snakes at home. As soon as he’d received the news, Shao Qihai had known that this was the doing of the people who had fled.

These people were extremely ruthless. They probably felt that Mu Jingzhe had harmed Old Yu, causing everyone to be captured later on. Therefore, they were determined to avenge Old Yu and everyone else.

Shao Qihai had acted immediately. After chasing them for a few days, he had finally caught the culprit.

After catching the culprit, he had wanted to be by Mu Jingzhe’s side to protect her immediately, but there were others he needed to keep an eye on.

Only he and Jiang Feng had seen the people who had escaped before. They still had to cooperate with the police to catch them.

Before they could catch those people, they were notified that Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei had been attacked again. That person had chased them all the way to Ocean City and even used the most brutal method to attack them—arson.

Shao Qihai, who was really startled, rushed over as quickly as possible. He wanted to protect Mu Jingzhe this time. Meanwhile, he was waiting for the others to fall into his trap.

According to his understanding of those people, they would take action again and wouldn’t stop until they had their way.

Mu Jingzhe was still in danger, and all of this was ultimately related to him. It was because she had saved Shao Xi that she had become the target of their revenge.

Shao Qihai had arrived a little earlier than Ji Buwang. However, since it was inconvenient for him to appear, he’d decided to follow her and protect her. Thus, he had disguised himself as a nurse in the hospital and waited outside Mu Jingzhe’s ward to see if there were any suspects.

He had wanted to sneak in to see Little Bei’s state, but before he could do anything, Ji Buwang had rushed over. Upon seeing Mu Jingzhe, he’d immediately hugged her.

Shao Qihai had clutched the chair tightly, nearly unable to resist rushing in to beat up Ji Buwang.

What the heck? Why was he hugging his wife like this?!

Shao Qihai didn’t know how he’d managed to hold it in. He only heaved a sigh of relief after Ji Buwang left.

However, before he could finish heaving a sigh of relief, Shao Qiyang showed up.

As her younger brother-in-law, Shao Qiyang didn’t really hug her or anything, but for some reason, Shao Qihai felt that his younger brother’s mood was a little strange.

Later on, Ji Buwang also returned.

Shao Qihai listened to them talk about his death numbly. He really wanted to go in and tell them that he was there, that he wasn’t dead, and he was watching them!

In the end, Shao Qihai didn’t manage to enter. Fortunately, Ji Buwang and Shao Qiyang were quickly persuaded to leave by Mu Jingzhe.

Only then did Shao Qihai heave a sigh of relief again. Seeing that only Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei were left in the ward, he felt much better.

However, Shao Qihai had heaved a sigh of relief too early. After Little Bei woke up, she had to go to the bathroom.

While she was doing so, of course, Little Bei had to sing some of her favorite new songs.

This was the first time Shao Qihai heard them. He was caught off guard and almost burst out laughing, which could have revealed his identity.

When Little Bei went back to the ward, Shao Qihai was still in a daze. Why would Little Bei sing such a song?

That night, Shao Qihai guarded the mother-and-daughter duo at the door to ensure their safety. However, because of the songs he heard from inside, he had a hard time enduring it.

Because he was suppressing his laughter, his stomach hurt later, and he trembled from holding it in. Others might think that he was having a relapse.

He didn’t know that songs could be sung like this. Each song was stranger than the last. Most importantly, these songs had been taught by Mu Jingzhe.

It was unknown where Mu Jingzhe had heard these songs or if she had modified them herself. It sounded like those songs were meant to be sung like that.

The more he eavesdropped, the more Shao Qihai felt that he didn’t understand Mu Jingzhe. It wasn’t just because of these songs. More importantly, it was the way Mu Jingzhe communicated with and educated Little Bei.

These were all things that Shao Qihai couldn’t do. This was the first time he learned that a child could be taught like that.

He knew that children were sensible, but he hadn’t expected them to have so many thoughts. However, no matter how strange their thoughts were, Mu Jingzhe seemed to be able to understand them. While chatting with Little Bei, she could also conveniently impart moral values and common sense to her.

Hearing that Little Bei and Mu Jingzhe were like a real mother-and-daughter duo who were treating each other wholeheartedly, Shao Qihai couldn’t help but smile.

How could he be lucky enough to marry Mu Jingzhe?

Shao Qihai had never thought that a person could change so drastically, nor had he expected that he could protect his wife and daughter this way on a night like this.

After this matter was over, he would focus on protecting his family.

Now that the children had a mother, they only lacked him as their father. When he returned, this family would be complete, and the children would definitely be happier and more blissful.
