Chapter 184: I Wish to Resign
For a while, Fu Yansheng simply stared at Qi Yu’s sleeping face. Seeming to have made some sort of mental preparation, he gently putting down his hand, got up and walked out.
After closing the door of the hospital room, Fu Yansheng took out his mobile phone and made a call.
“Hey, Captain Jiang, it’s me…”
“Fu Yansheng?”
“Remember that matter I told you about before?”
“What do you want to say?”
“I’ve thought about it and I wish to resign.”
“You! … Old Ren specially gave you four months and the notice for your promotion to deputy team captain is coming soon. Haven’t you calmed down yet?”
“I’m calm. I really can’t do it anymore because I can’t go back to my original physical and mental state.”
“Fu Yansheng, do you know what you’re saying?”
“I know, but Qi Yu needs me and I also want to stay by his side from now on. It doesn’t matter if I’m promoted to deputy team captain or even team captain. It probably doesn’t even matter if they’ll transfer me to an open government position in a few years. None of those will be able to fulfill what I want.”
“But what do you even think you can do by staying with him? Have you forgotten our rules?”
“I think the only thing that matters is staying by his side… It’s only been eight years. I can always find something else to do.”
“Damn, you’re crazy! I can’t convince you anymore. Go and report to Old Ren yourself!”
…
Fu Yansheng put away the phone, closed his eyes and leaned against the wall outside the hospital room.
After a while, Qi Yuancheng also came back from his own phone call. Seeing him standing there, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
“…It’s nothing.” Fu Yansheng stood up straight and asked, “Was that a call from the police?” He had heard Qi Yuancheng address the caller when he answered the call in the room.
Qi Yuancheng nodded. “En, it’s Officer Liu, the one in charge of this case…”
Fu Yansheng: “How is the situation?”
Qi Yuancheng said, “There were four kidnappers in total. Apart from the two who were caught in the plastics factory, one was in a car three kilometers away from the factory. The last one was named ‘Feng Er’ and was among the security team of the hotel in Zhenjiang. He was their inside man. They’ve all been arrested and have basically confessed. As for the Zhang family… just now, Officer Liu said that the Zhang Family’s illegitimate son who was kidnapped together with Qi Yu had just woken up. He said that he can provide evidence to prove that his second uncle and his adoptive father had planned this kidnapping.”
Fu Yansheng was stunned when he heard this. He touched the pendant hanging on his phone in his trousers pocket. He asked, “Is that true?”
Qi Yuancheng said with relief, “Yes, it seems that the two brothers, Zhang Youfa and Zhang Aifa, won’t be able to escape the law!”

He walked and walked. Suddenly, he found himself in a dark, abandoned factory.
His surroundings were spinning. He stepped forward but moved backwards…
He was so anxious, he began to tear up. he wanted to cry out for help, but he couldn’t make a sound. At this moment, a light appeared in the distance. A man ran against the light and made his way in front of him.
The man took his hand and said softly, “Don’t be afraid, uncle will bring you out…”
They walked towards the light together and at the end of that light stood another young man. He couldn’t see the other’s face but he seemed to know who it was, and he rejoiced in his heart.
The man led him to the other side and said, “You can go with him from here…”
The young man said “OK” and then squatted down and took his hand. He kissed the back of his hand and led him to some brighter place ahead.
He slowly grew taller, he grew up, becoming as tall as the person beside him.
He wanted to ask that person, will you always be by my side? But at that moment, the other party let him go.
That person disappeared and the warmth on his hand slowly faded. He hesitated. He was all by himself, as though everything that had just happened was just his own hallucination.
“I-I don’t want……”
“…No…don’t go…” Qi Yu murmured and woke up from his deep sleep.
Opening his eyes, he was met with the sight of snow-white ceiling and walls. He tilted his head and saw the IV drip bags hanging above his head…
The stiffness on his left shoulder made him frown. Qi Yu glanced at the place where the plaster had been placed and recalled that he seemed to have been in the ambulance before he fell unconscious; at the time, Fu Yansheng had even been holding his hand…
Was he in the hospital?
Fu Yansheng…where did he go?
Didn’t he say he would always stay by his side?
Qi Yu looked around. He wanted to ring the bell for the nurse but as soon as he raised his hand, he saw the jade Buddha beads around his wrist…
Qi Yu was completely stunned. He leaned in and fiddled with it, confirming that this was indeed the string of beads that had originally adorned Fu Yansheng’s wrist. Qi Yu was very surprised. Fu Yansheng, he…
“…Are you awake?” A familiar voice came from the door, bringing Qi Yu back to his senses.
Fu Yansheng pushed open the door and walked quickly to him. Qi Yu was about to speak when he saw Qi Yuancheng enter behind him.
“Dad…” Qi Yu called out in a hoarse voice.
“En.” Qi Yuancheng said worriedly, “How are you feeling? Do you feel okay?”
Qi Yu: “Where am I?”
Qi Yuancheng: “In a private hospital in Haicheng. Your left shoulder and humerus is fractured. You just got out of surgery.”
Qi Yu looked at Fu Yansheng. “I’m a little thirsty…”
Fu Yansheng immediately said, “I’ll get you some water and I’ll call in the doctor as well.”
The doctor came in to check on Qi Yu’s condition. He asked a few questions and seeing that he was in overall good condition, left after giving some precautions.
Fu Yansheng fed Qi Yu some warm water. After drinking, Qi Yu asked Qi Yuancheng, “Did you receive any message after I was kidnapped?”
Qi Yuancheng: “I didn’t get any phone call. I just received a text message from an unfamiliar number at four in the morning asking us to reflect on what had happened 14 years ago.”
Fourteen years ago… as expected, it was FIA who had been behind it.
Qi Yu sighed and said, “Mom also knows too, right?”
Qi Yuancheng: “En, we didn’t sleep at all last night. She just went back.”
Qi Yu: “I’m sorry, I made you worry…”
“What nonsense are you saying?” Qi Yuancheng frowned, tears flashed in his eyes. “All that matters is that you’re alright.”
Qi Yu: “I heard that kidnapper make a call to a man he called ‘Master Hong’. This person must be the middleman who Zhang Youfa contacted…”
When Qi Yuancheng that his son was already thinking of this and that as soon as he woke up, he urged him, “It’s alright. The kidnappers have already been caught and the Zhang Family, the masterminds behind all this can’t escape. Don’t worry, the police and the company will handle these matters. You just rest here and don’t worry about a thing, understand?”
Qi Yu gave a “en”. Seeing his father’s bloodshot eyes, he said, “Dad, you should go rest too…”
Fu Yansheng replied, “Uncle, you’ve been running around all night. Now that Qi Yu is awake, you can rest assured. I’ll stay here with him.”
Seeing the fond attachment in his son’s eyes when he looked at Fu Yansheng, Qi Yuancheng felt for the first time that he was being in the way here. He felt his heart squeeze and he sighed. “Okay, then Dad will go back to rest first. I’ll come see you with your mother later. Xiao Fu will stay here to keep you company. If there’s anything, just tell him.”
Fu Yansheng immediately declared, “Don’t worry, Uncle, I will take good care of Qi Yu.”
Qi Yu: “…”
Qi Yuancheng stood up and said, “Qi Yu needs to rest, so don’t keep him up talking for too long.”
Fu Yansheng: “En, I understand.”
When only he and Fu Yansheng were left in the hospital room, Qi Yu remembered and asked, “How is Zhang Chengxuan?”
Fu Yansheng: “He was stabbed in the thigh and passed out. After the police subdued the kidnapper, he was also taken to the city’s Central Hospital. He has already woken up. He’s probably still there.”
Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, when Zhang Chengxuan screamed, he really thought the kidnapper had killed him.
“He tricked me into that stairwell…,” Qi Yu said.
Fu Yansheng: “I know.”
Qi Yu lowered his eyes and said, “Am I stupid?”
Fu Yansheng reached out and rubbed his head. “What do you mean ‘stupid’? You’re so smart.”
Qi Yu: “He baited me using the Tianbao Group, saying that it was a trap. Before that, I Jing Ge had even told me about what was going on in the Zhang family but I still didn’t put up my guard against him. It was such a critical moment, but I impulsively went to find him and then…”
Fu Yansheng interrupted him, “There’s no guarding against bad people so don’t blame yourself.”
Qi Yu thought back and said, “While we were being held captive, we talked about a lot of things. He told me everything, about his relationship with his father and how he got involved… Although I can’t confirm if what he said was true, I find that I really can’t bring myself to hate him… Hateful people can also be pitiful. He’s not completely bad…”
Fu Yansheng: “En, I heard everything.”
Qi Yu was surprised. “You did?”
Fu Yansheng: “I found you at 5:10am. I was standing outside, listening. I used the little pendant Su Jing gave me to record everything you talked about — The recording might not be very clear but the factory had been very quiet. There’s a little bit of an echo while you were talking but a professional should be able to fix it. I originally wanted to wait for you to wake up to ask if you would like to hand it over to the police. But I just heard from your father that Zhang Chengxuan already told the police that he’s willing to provide evidence that Zhang Youfa and Zhang Aifa planned to kidnap you.”
Qi Yu was dumbfounded. “Really…?”
“En, you did a great job.” Fu Yansheng took his hand, “Better than I expected.”
The man just told him he was “smart” and now he’s repeatedly praising him for “doing a good job”. When Qi Yu heard this, he couldn’t help but look at him and asked with a light chuckle, “Are you sure you’re not just trying to coax me?”
“Are my compliments so untrustworthy?” Fu Yansheng asked him in reply. He then continued, “It’s easy to hate someone who has harmed you; tolerating them though is very hard. Punishing someone through coercive means is easy; getting him to repent, to realize the error of his way and to get him to make sincere changes, that is hard. But you, you were able to do all these difficult things…” The man looked at him, enchanted, and said, “Darling, I am so proud of you. ”
Qi Yu was momentarily stunned, almost dazzled by the other party’s sweet words. He glanced at the Buddha beads around his wrist and confirmed with Fu Yansheng, “Are you really not going to leave?”
Fu Yansheng: “En, I’m not leaving.”
Qi Yu: “Then what about your work?”
Fu Yansheng: “I resigned.”
Qi Yu: “…Can you resign?”
“It’s not like I sold myself into slavery. Of course I can resign.” Fu Yansheng said, bringing his hand to his lips and kissing it again. “I’ll be with you for the rest of my life. I’m not going anywhere.”
