Chapter 152 Well Done
"I... my wife, she doesn't recognize me! Hehe..."
Qin Yu finished speaking and chuckled bitterly, shaking his head.
Although he and Yan Mingyu were husband and wife, she didn't know her own identity at all, which troubled and depressed him greatly.
He had been holding it in for months, and tonight, when the topic came up in his chat with Jiang Shiyun, he couldn't help but want to vent his frustrations.
"President Qin, I... didn't understand!"
Jiang Shiyun blinked, somewhat confused.
His wife doesn't recognize him?
Could it be amnesia?
"Sigh! To put it this way, after my wife and I got married, we were never together. When we met again, she had already forgotten what I looked like, and due to various reasons, I also didn't reveal my identity. So, even though I know that she is the wife registered in my family records, she doesn't know that I am her husband!"
Qin Yu sighed deeply as he spoke.
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Jiang Shiyun felt somewhat disappointed.
Her main point in probing was to find out who Qin Yu cared about, but his wife didn't even know who he was; obviously, that couldn't be his weak point.
"By the way, President Qin, do you have anyone else in your family?"
Jiang Shiyun didn't give up, as for most people, besides a wife, parents were usually the ones they cared about the most.
"It's just my sister and me. My parents divorced a long time ago and now have their own families, with barely any contact."
Qin Yu had drunk "obeisance water," and pretty much answered whatever Jiang Shiyun asked.
This method was being used by spies seventy or eighty years ago.
It was nothing too novel.
"Then, President Qin, you must be very close to your sister, right?"
Jiang Shiyun asked tentatively.
"Um, she is the most important person in my life! Because, since childhood, it was she who grew up with me."
Qin Yu nodded without hesitation.
"Huh..."
Having heard the answer she was looking for, Jiang Shiyun let out a sigh of relief but felt a vague discomfort in her heart, as if being pricked by a needle, feeling herself to be a despicable and shameless person.
However, thinking of Liu Yupan's devilish tactics, she steeled her heart and continued, "What is your sister's name and where does she live?"
"Her name is Qin Wei'er, she's a flight attendant at South Airlines!"
Qin Yu was now completely controlled by the "obeisance water" in his thinking; regardless of whether Jiang Shiyun asked about his family matters, even if she asked about when he wet the bed as a child, he would tell her honestly.
"President Qin, go ahead and eat your meal, then drive home!"
After giving Qin Yu her last "order," Jiang Shiyun walked to the window, turned her back to Qin Yu, and dialed a number not saved in her phone, "I found his weak point, Qin Wei'er, a flight attendant at the airline company, his sister, the two grew up depending on each other!"
"You are doing very well!"
"Beep beep..."
Just a sinister sentence from Liu Yupan on the other end of the phone, and then the call was disconnected.
President Qin, I'm sorry...
Gazing at Qin Yu's reflection in the window glass, Jiang Shiyun silently apologized in her heart.
A few minutes passed.
Qin Yu put down his chopsticks and walked out of the room like a sleepwalker.
He didn't come to his senses until he reached back to the urban village.
Damn...
Why did I feel a bit groggy tonight, like I was drunk and blacking out, with almost no memory of it?
Qin Yu scratched his head, feeling incredulous, wondering if someone so young could already have amnesia?
Forget it, I'll just take a bath and get some sleep.
Ring ring...
When he next opened his eyes, it was to the sound of a ringing phone.
Yan Mingyu?
"Hello, President Yan!"
Qin Yu sat up abruptly and answered the call.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Li Xiaozu will arrive in East Sea by noon. Come over at ten and pick him up with me. I've already arranged everything for the branch office here, with several department managers taking charge temporarily," said Yan Mingyu, her voice characteristically crisp and efficient over the phone.
"Uh... didn't you say he would arrive tomorrow?"
Qin Yu was taken aback, wondering if he'd slept for a whole day and night.
He checked his phone just to be sure. Indeed, only yesterday in Yan Mingyu's office, she had said Li Xiaozu would arrive the day after tomorrow, which meant tomorrow.
"He left early specifically to prevent certain people from tracking his movements," Yan Mingyu explained.
"Okay, I'll come over now!"
Seeing that it was already almost nine o'clock, Qin Yu put down his phone and went into the bathroom to wash his face and shave.
He still felt puzzled inside—after all, he hadn't been drinking last night, so why couldn't he remember many things?
It was really strange!
Qin Yu shook his head, dressed himself in a black suit after getting ready, and then drove off in his X5, leaving the urban village.
Lingling....
As he was driving, the phone rang again.

Seeing it was his father calling, he pressed the button on the car's multifunction steering wheel, "Hello, Dad!"
"Xiaoyu, are you at work?"
A somewhat somber voice came through from Qin Jianjun on the other end of the line.
"Yes, I'm going to pick up the boss at the company," Qin Yu said.
"Son, there's something I want to tell you..." Qin Jianjun's voice grew heavier: "I have cancer and may not have much time left. I've transferred twenty thousand yuan to your WeChat. It's some money I've saved quietly, that your Aunt Zhou doesn't know about. I had planned to give it to you when you get married, but it seems I won't be around to see that day. Xiaoyu, I'm sorry I haven't been a responsible father. Can you forgive me?"
"What?"
Qin Yu was shocked, then asked, "Dad, when did you go for the check-up?"
"The day before yesterday, I went with your Aunt Zhou," Qin Jianjun said.
"Well, Dad, I'm a bit busy today. I will make time this afternoon to come and see you, and I'll take you for another check-up. I don't think you look like you have cancer; it might be a misdiagnosis," Qin Yu pondered and said.
He had learned quite a bit of medical knowledge from his grandfather, and "inspection, listening, interrogation, and palpation" were just the basic entry-level skills.
Although his father was thin, he was full of vitality and seemed rather healthy.
"Xiaoyu, don't bother comforting me. What I want to know now is, can you forgive me?" Qin Jianjun had already resigned himself to believing he had cancer and that his days were numbered.
"Dad... Look, we share the same blood, there's nothing to forgive or not forgive. That's it, I'm about to arrive at the company now, I'll take you for a check-up this afternoon!"
Qin Yu felt conflicted. Subconsciously, he still harbored some resentment towards his father. However, through recent interactions, he'd also gradually come to understand that his father had his own constraints.
So, the slight grudge he held against his father had mostly dissipated.
As for the twenty thousand yuan on WeChat, as long as he didn't accept it, it would automatically be refunded to his father's account after twenty-four hours.
Meanwhile.
Zhou Nannan hid in her room, looking somewhat haggard. First, she was slapped twice by Liu Xiaoxiao, who ground her pride into the dust.
Then, she entered the Four Seas Corporation's branch office full of joy, but was dismissed in less than half an hour.
One blow after another left her distressed, feeling like she'd suffocate if she couldn't get her revenge.
"Lingling...."
Zhang Bin's call came through.
"Hello?"
Zhou Nannan answered the phone listlessly.
"Nannan, great news, my cousin-in-law finally has time to have dinner with us," Zhang Bin's excited voice rang out.
Zhou Nannan wanted to humiliate Liu Xiaoxiao and Qin Yu, but she lacked the influence to do so.
However, her cousin-in-law was a district chief, who agreed to help Zhang Bin out by giving Liu Xiaoxiao and Qin Yu a hard time at the dinner table tonight.
What do you think?
