Chapter 1162: The Logic of the Qi Family: One's Own Face is the Most Valuable

Wang Hao reported it to the police, but he did not know who had beaten him.

The injuries looked miserable, but the disability assessment did not reach the required level, so it was not taken seriously; a statement was simply taken, and then the matter was left unsettled.

Wang Hao was indignant; did this even need an investigation?

Even without evidence, it was obvious that Qi Heng was the one who had made the move.

After being discharged from the hospital, he went to the police station several times to make a scene, pointing out that the person who beat him must be Qi Heng, and demanding that he be arrested.

Such a demand was not met.

Punishing the assailant was not wrong, but there had to be evidence!

This is a society ruled by law; it is not a place where one can do whatever one pleases.

Wang Hao was very dissatisfied with the police's explanation.

He made a loud scene at the police station, stubbornly insisting on his own ideas, shouting that the police were derelict in their duties and were not standing up for him because they feared Qi Heng's status.

It was not just shouting; at the height of his anger, he even smashed the glass at the police station!

The shards of glass almost injured a female police officer.

Because this incident had a very bad impact and Wang Hao's attitude was atrocious,

he was detained for seven days for obstructing official business and damaging public property, without realizing his own mistakes after being lectured!

In fact, a seven-day detention was light, but considering his injuries had not fully healed and his emotional state was understandable, it was handled leniently.

The news of Wang Hao's detention caused a huge stir, and soon the entire school knew about it.

There was no problem with the police's handling of the matter, but the perspective of many people was similar to Wang Hao's!

They did not care about evidence; they just liked to take things for granted.

Wang Hao was beaten; that was correct, it was indeed Qi Heng who sent people to do it.

Strictly speaking, it was not sending people, but rather he led people to do it himself.

Leaving no evidence was, of course, not because he feared Wang Hao's retaliation, but because he did not want to give others a handle against him.

Qi Heng was different from the past; he could not willfully do whatever he wanted, he always had to consider the impact and could not give others a handle.

Of course, groundless speculation did not count; as long as there was no evidence, it did not matter.

The situation was still fermenting further; the matter of Wang Hao courting Shi Ran last time had been suppressed, but this time, it was unknown who had leaked it onto the internet.

Wang Hao being beaten and hospitalized, along with the previous incident of him confessing to Shi Ran, were spread online together.

The speed of internet dissemination was astonishing; in the global information age, Lady Qi also found out about this matter!

She called her son to scold him, flustered and exasperated: "What is going on? Why would this situation occur? You are about to get engaged to Shi Ran; can't you let her be more discreet and stop causing you trouble?"

Qi Heng...

His temples were throbbing.

He knew this would be the result.

When he was a child, his mother liked Shi Ran very much and even said it would be nice if Shi Ran were her own daughter.

But as they grew older and Shi Ran was about to become part of the family, her attitude underwent a 180-degree turn.

She became picky, finding fault with everything, nitpicking at every turn!

Just like now, it was not Shi Ran's fault at all, yet she was throwing a tantrum without distinguishing right from wrong.

Lady Qi grumbled for a while and issued an ultimatum: "If you cannot handle this matter yourself, I will send people to handle it for you."

He hurriedly declined: "Mom, please don't get involved in this, okay? Ranran grew up with me; you know very well what kind of person she is. It has nothing to do with her."

"It is all that Wu Hao's fault. That person is just a small character who cannot be brought into polite society; he is not worth you stepping in. I can solve it myself."

She said earnestly: "Son, your father's status and position are what they are. In many matters, our family is forced by circumstances and cannot afford not to think about them."

"I am telling you this now; if you wait until your father tells you, the matter will be serious."

His mother only said the matter might be serious, but she did not say to what extent it would be serious.

"To what extent will it be serious? Will the engagement be called off?"

Mother: "The engagement will not be called off. The eldest son of the Qi Family cannot have his engagement called off repeatedly; the Qi Family cannot afford to lose face like that. However..."

"However what?" Qi Heng had an ominous premonition.

"However, making someone die young without anyone knowing is not a difficult task for your father. After all, heaven is jealous of talent, don't you think?"

She did not say the name, but Qi Heng understood the meaning.

The person his father wanted to die young was Shi Ran!

It would not be Wu Hao; Wu Hao's status and position were not worth his father taking action.

"No, that's not allowed!"

Qi Heng gripped his phone tightly; if he used any more force, it seemed as if the phone would shatter in his hand.

He roared angrily into the receiver: "Please tell Father that if he really does that, it will be equivalent to killing me along with her! From then on, the Qi Family will have no descendants, and there will never be anyone to inherit."

"Son, don't get excited. It's all my fault, all my fault. I was just guessing; your father never said such things, and he wouldn't do that."

She tried hard to deny it, but she could not fool her own son.

Since his father became president, he had changed a lot!

He had become emotionless, cold, and prioritized interests above all else. Whatever he did, the first thing he considered was whether it was beneficial to the Qi Family!

Qi Heng said word by word: "It is best if he doesn't, and of course, it doesn't matter if he does. You just need to convey the final result to that person."

He was too lazy to even call him Father, using "that person" instead.

"Son, don't..."

"Beep, beep, beep—"

A busy signal came from the phone; for the first time, Qi Heng took the initiative to hang up on his mother.

Not only that, he also blocked his mother's number!

Her mother has a way to contact him; blocking the phone number was merely his way of showing his stance, ensuring they wouldn't dare lay a hand on Shi Ran.

……

"Dang, dang, dang!" The door was knocked on lightly three times.

After knocking, the person outside immediately jumped more than a meter away!

The next instant.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open; thanks to him dodging quickly, he was fine, but had he been a second slower, he would have been bruised and battered.

In this area, the doors to all the rooms generally open inward, except for Liu Min's door, which opens outward!

She feels that this way, it is convenient for her to seize the initiative.

Liu Min stood at the doorway, looking at Qi Heng with a smile: "Yo, did the sun rise from the west? How did you think of coming to find me on your own initiative?"

"Where is Shi Ran?" He frowned, displeased, and had no desire to waste even a single word of nonsense on her.

"She's in the room, come in." She knew he was looking for Shi Ran and not her, but she was just cracking a joke.

This person is not fun at all and cannot take a joke.

Unlike Yun Qitian, who is gentle and refined, and whose smile feels like a spring breeze!

Oh my, she started missing that person, wanting to see him right away.

So she rushed out and ran to find Yun Qitian, without leaving a single word of explanation.

Qi Heng couldn't care less where she went; as long as she left, that was fine.

He walked inside and closed the door behind him.

Shi Ran was busy on the computer, her ten fingers flying, her technique so skillful that the movement of her fingers was almost impossible to see.

"Ranran, what are you doing?"

"Wait for me a moment, it will be done very soon."

So he sat quietly to one side and waited.
