Chapter 101: Crack the Whip (1)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
Di Qiuhe was touched by his words and gazed at him with deep feeling. He leaned forward and cuddled him, burying his face into He Bai’s neck. Di Qiuhe croaked: “Of course, I will never leave you.” I will be with you forever.
They entered taxi. Di Qiuhe told driver the hospital address, while He Bai sat beside him, clutching his arm more and more tightly.
“Don’t worry.” Di Qiuhe, who was anxious in his heart, was comforted by He Bai’s companion. Now, Di Qiuhe looked terrible, and his heart was totally softened. He leaned on He Bai and held his hand, as if it was a comfort to both of them. “My dad has always been in good health, and the stairs in the house are not steep. It shouldn’t be so terrible as we imagined. Besides, we don’t know whether the butler has been nobbled by Qin Li, so the call may just be a trap. Don’t rush just yet.”
“Could she tell you the specific hospital address if it is a trap?” He Bai reacted intuitionally. Then, he took out the phone as if something occurred to him. He began to search the phone number of that hospital and said quickly, “If the call is true, your father must have been sent to emergency center. Just call them and ask if they have received a cerebral hemorrhage patient, and we can verify it.”
Reminded by him, Di Qiuhe pressed down his hand and took out his own phone. He found the number of several team members and called them one by one.
A series of organized orders were released. From media control to monitoring Qin families, from contacting his families and lawyers of Huangdu to several executives of Huangdu. He let Wang Boyi keep contacting the butler and then arranged people to monitor the hospital. One order after another, Di Qiuhe became more and more calm, while his mind also got clearer.
Last second, he was a childish boy who was anxious and emotional due to his father’s accident, but now, he had calmed down, becoming a mature man who could control the overall situation.
“Di Qiuhe
” He Bai called him subconsciously. Di Qiuhe seemed to have had some strength and clam that he showed in his previous existence when he got successful and attended an interview. At this thought, He Bai clutched his fist tightly.
In current situation, the more Di Qiuhe was developing on a track similar to his previous existence, the more frightened He Bai felt. He was afraid that Di Qiuhe would die young as his previous existence, or even younger
No, that’s cannot happen! In the previous existence, Di Qiuhe was just a stranger to him, so whether he died or nor had nothing to do with He Bai. But not, Di Qiuhe was his friend, his naughty boy who always caused him worry. He could not die and had to survive all along, and then he must be successful and lead a satisfying, smooth life.
Di Qiuhe heard his voice and turned to him. Seeing his pale face, Di Qiuhe frowned. He finished the arrangement quickly and hung up the phone. He pulled He Bai into his arms and patted him, assuring him, “It’s OK, don’t worry. I have the definite information on my father. It’s not a trap, he was in the emergency center, but it was not that severe. He has been downgraded from critical to serious.”
He felt Di Qiuhe’s familiar breath; he heard Di Qiuhe’s mild voice. Came the softness and calm, gone the strangeness and anxiety.
He Bai came to himself and also held Di Qiuhe. He patted him and organized his mind, saying, “It should be me that comfort you, but we play the opposite roles now. Just relax, I’m fine. How are Qin’s families now?”
The driver had stolen many glances at them. Di Qiuhe frowned and released He Bai reluctantly, and then replied briefly, “They have all gathered in the hospital. Assistant Wang has also arrived there. My family lawyer and Huangdu’s lawyer are on their way. When we get to the hospital, don’t hurry to enter. We gotta wait for our lawyers first.”
He Bai frowned again. It was so quick for Qin’s families to reach the hospital. There was indeed something obscure in this accident.
The care had arrived at the hospital while they were talking. Before getting out of the car, Di Qiuhe recorded driver’s badge number and car plate number. When they got off, he called his team and told them the driver’s information, letting them handle him.
He Bai watched the taxi driving away, and finally realized something. He pressed his forehead and blamed himself for being careless. The driver had heard the whole story and if he exposed it to media, it would be a disaster.
It would take a while for the lawyers to come. He Bai wanted to check the situation of Di Bian in the hospital to comfort Di Qiuhe, but he could not forget the scene where Di Qiuhe fell of the building. He was not assured to leave him alone.
“Assistant Wang will report to me with regular checks, don’t worry.” Di Qiuhe saw through his concern, so he kindly comforted him. He took He Bai to a bench in shadow, and turned to the hospital. He remained calm and said, “There is something rather strange about all this. It’s probably the plot of Qin Li and her families. If I entered the hospital, the matter may develop in two possible directions.”
He Bai couldn’t see his face clearly. He only knew that he seemed to be quite clam, so calm that He Bai even missed that childish, naughty Di Qiuhe.
“First, Qin Li and her families have known that I returned to city B and have prepared well for that; Second, they don’t know it and my appearance will be a shock to them.” Di Qiuhe said and leaned against He Bai, feeling his warmth, “Only you and my father know that I have returned. The presence of assistant Wang may make them suspicious, but not to the extent that they can be sure I am back. Besides, assistant An can patch up for me, so I guess it’s very likely that they don’t know I am back. Now the only question is that who the butler is working for
Fortunately, I hurried to see you when I came back to city B, which separated me from assistant Wang, or I will be stuck in a passive position now. You are my lucky charm, puppy.” He said very slowly, even the joke was mild, totally different from that normal Di Qiuhe. He Bai paused for a second and held his hand.
“Whether it is an accident or not, Qin’s families will use this chance to control my father and eliminate the truth.” Di Qiuhe looked down at their clutched hands and entwined his fingers with He Bai’s, “Now there are a lot of Qin’s people in Huangdu’s management level. If my father is not a threat to them anymore, Qin Li and her families with completely control Huangdu. Qin Li now is still Mrs. Di, so it is natural for her to operate the company for her husband without arousing public’s suspicion. Next, she will send my father abroad with the excuse of recuperation
then everything is done.”
“So, they have no idea that you already know the truth about Di Chunhua?” He Bai figured out his meaning and was a little relieved. But he remained frowned, “But will your sudden appearance draw their attention? You are the last person they want to see now.” As the eldest son in Di’s family, he could fight for the control of Haungdu. Now there was an invisible war between Di and Qin on the management level. In order to repress Qin Li, Di’s supporters may well use Di Qiuhe as the excuse to pin down her.
At this thought, He Bai’s face turned black and he gnashed his teeth with anger, “You just suffer from your “eldest son” identity, which has so far brought you nothing but troubles.” Without this identity, he could lead any kind of life that he liked. He could act and play any roles without disguise. He could have been so successful now and enjoyed a carefree life, instead of suffering.
“Your family name is a pure curse!” He added furiously.
Although a little bit inappropriate, his tone made Di Qiuhe laugh, and his heavy mood was relieved a lot. Di Qiuhe raised his hands and pulled up He Bai’s collar, saying mildly, “They don’t want to see me? I persist in showing up right in front of them. I should make full use of my identity.” Half of Huangdu belongs to his mother. Therefore, as the eldest son in his family, as the son of his mother, he had to take the control of Huangdu.
As they were talking, a call of Wang Boyi came. He told Di Qiuhe that the butler would like to talk with him.
Di Qiuhe was surprised and let Wang Boyi give the phone to the butler.
“Qin Li wants to send Di Qiuhua abroad this very night. I have stopped them, do you have any orders?” Butler Hu Zhao came to point without any nonsense.
“Take her to the hospital. How could she not visit her badly-injured father?” Di Qiuhe wore a smile and was totally pleased now. He asked, “Do you know anything about my fathers’ accident?”
The butler paused for a while and replied, “Not really. There were only the master, Qin Li and their daughter on the second floor. But they seemed to have had a quarrel before the accident.”
