Chapter 026: “Huo Qi: It’s very suspicious.” (05/07)
When Xie Chenyang woke up the next day, Huo Qi was not in the room. He yawned and wandered off to wash up.
You Huang: The man who overindulged in Y1Y/yellow , adult content ah.
Waiting for Xie Chenyang to come out and getting ready to go out, You Huang spoke up, “Stay on your toes.”
[What’s the matter?]
You Huang informed him about Huo Qi having someone investigate him last night, and then voiced his solution.
Xie Chenyang: […… So, I have to pretend to have a dual personality?]
You Huang: “I did not expect it from you; in my solution, you are considered a sub-personality. You only appeared once nine years ago, and then never appeared again. It was only when you were taken by force by Malikai, who made you miserable at every turn, and also learned of your parents’ deaths, that Yan Chen, who was determined to escape, finally snapped into his sub-personality.”
Xie Chenyang nodded: [I get it. From now on the main personality has disappeared and only my sub-personality ‘Xie Chenyang’ remains!]
You Huang: “In the future, if there is a need for the master personality to appear, let me handle it.”
Xie Chenyang was very moved: [Ah-Huang, you’re so nice! In fact, I can also ……]
You Huang: “No, you can not. With your acting skills, Huo Qi will definitely be able to see the flaws.”
[Okay, then you do it.]
“First, don’t leave the bedroom yet. Huo Qi is in the study reading your information.”
[En, en.]
— The study. —
Huo Qi leaned back in his chair while his impassive eyes viewed the information about Yan Chen that was put out in front of him.
In the information, Yan Chen was a refined and delicate looking Omega. Although he was a civilian, he was an only child and his parents loved him very much.
Because of his delicate looks, he had been very popular since he was young.
His family was harmonious, his teachers and classmates were on good terms, and his friendships were genuine.
The files were up to the day he beat up Malikai and escaped from Malikai’s villa.
The day Xie Chenyang and Huo Qi met.
After they met, they were hardly ever separated, and Mo Wei didn’t investigate what happened afterward. In Mo Wei’s opinion, Xie Chenyang was just so enraged by the news of his parents’ deaths that he blew up and punched Malikai.
He escaped and went straight to the hospital, where he then quickly and neatly dealt with his parents’ affairs and returned home after dark.
Mo Wei listed the suspicious points:
First, even if Yan Chenwas stimulated to fight, he would certainly not have been able to achieve what he did. (It can not be ruled out that he was stimulated by a short period of high mental strength, and therefore it let him beat the gullible enemy.)
Second, with Yan Chen’s family finances, he was never exposed to supercars, but he had driven Malikai’s supercar straight away. (Doesn’t rule out that he was a genius and could figure out how to drive it just by looking at it, but the probability wasn’t high)
Third, Yan Chen had briefly disappeared nine years ago and returned home on his own the next day. (This had not yet been investigated, and wouldbe submitted at the first opportunity after investigation was completed)
Huo Qi turned off the projection and lit a cigarette. “It was also that day that he acquired that system, ah.”
He took a deep draw of his cigarette. It wasn’t some temporary outburst, ah.
Even if Huo Qi was recuperating due to his damaged mental power, it didn’t affect his physical strength. In the Legion, there were very few people who could be on par with him based on physical skills alone.
“But you, ah, your physical skills are no worse than mine.”
The door to the study was knocked on twice. Before Huo Qi could say anything, the door opened a crack.
Xie Chenyang stuck his head in. “Ah-Qi.”
Huo Qi stubbed out his cigarette and got up to walk towards him. “Woke up from your nap?”
“Hm, I’m hungry …….”
Huo Qi rubbed his head. “Wait, I’ll go cook.”
Xie Chenyang: “Why don’t we bring Xingxing over? It cooks quite well.”
“That’s fine too.” Huo Qi actually had robots here, but they were usually on standby.
Xie Chenyang smiled as he headed out, not seeing Huo Qi’s complicated eyes as he watched his back.
Not long after, Xie Chenyang brought Xingxing over. Xingxing was carrying bags all over both its arms.
Xie Chenyang: “I brought everything from the fridge!”
Huo Qi: “Uh-huh.”
Xie Chenyang pat Xingxing’s mechanical arm. “This will be your new home from now on, so go cook for us after you’ve made your scan!”
Xingxing: “Okay, Master.” It quickly scanned the layout of the house and then clattered into the kitchen.
Xie Chenyang collapsed onto the sofa and raised his eyes. “How’s Malikai doing?”
Huo Qi walked over to him and sat down. “Assaulting an officer, insulting a military subordinate, trespassing, multiple offenses and a life-long sentence of □□2Like this in the raws.”
Xie Chenyang moved to rest his head on Huo Qi’slap, tugging his hand, and said happily, “That’s really great.”
Huo Qi looked down at him. “I’ve also sent people to investigate your parents’ matter, and none of the people involved will be spared.”
“Malikai and his fiancée’s family will all be crushed.”
“Handsome, ah!”
“Whatever you want, just ask me for it, I can give it to you. So”–Huo Qi lowered his head and rested it against Xie Chenyang’s forehead, his voice chilling–”don’t betray me.”
Otherwise, you will become a caged bird.
Xie Chenyang obediently lifted his head and kissed him. “No matter what, I will never betray you.”
For the rest of my life.
“Good boy3乖 guāi: (of a child) obedient, well-behaved clever shrewd alert.” Huo Qi gently caressed his face. “I heard that you disappeared for two days nine years ago–where did you go?”
Xie Chenyang: Here it comes!
He slightly turned his head and buried his face against Huo Qi’s stomach. “No, ah, I haven’t been missing.”
Huo Qi pulled his face back. “What are you hiding from? Look at me and answer. Where did you go on the 6th and 7th of November nine years ago?”
Xie Chenyang didn’t hide anymore; his eyes filled with warmth looked straight at Huo Qi and he sincerely said, “Honestly, how can I remember every day’s events so clearly, and it’s not some important day.”
Huo Qi didn’t say anything.
“In November, if I wasn’t at home, I was probably out playing with my friends, right? But I certainly have never been missing.”
While You Huang had notified him of this incident, Xie Chenyang didn’t know what it arranged.
Huo Qi: “You have a guilty conscience.”
Huo Qi: “There was certainly a disappearance, which is a lie.”
Xie Chenyang: “……” Well, he knew there was a disappearance but he really didn’t know what happened during the disappearance, ah!
“Don’t want to say?” Huo Qi withdrewhis hand. “Forget it then.”
Xie Chenyang was annoyed. “There was a situation, but I don’t know the circumstances!”
This was the truth.
Huo Qi believed this.
Seeing Xie Chenyang’s gradually annoyed and impatient expression, Huo Qi dipped his head and kissed him lightly, only to raise his head after a while.
The usually cold voice carried some weariness: “Since we are already married, you know the situation, right? I’m the Deputy Commander of the Sixth Army Corps.”
Xie Chenyang: “Uh-huh.”
“Don’t begrudge me for always asking questions of you.” Huo Qi sighed softly. “Although I’m recuperating, I’m not retired yet, and your information file as my partner is definitely clear.”
“I’m sorry, Ah-Qi.”
You Huang showed no mercy. “See, this is acting.”
Xie Chenyang: [I’m enlightened.]
He held Huo Qi’s hand. “Alright, I’m not blaming you, but I really don’t know what’s going on.”
[That’s not right, oh. Didn’t you say that the first time this personality of mine appeared was nine years ago? Then I must have some memories of when I appeared, ah.]
You Huang: “You don’t.”
[What kind of plot did you arrange in the end, oh?]
You Huang: “I won’t tell you yet, lest you be caught in a trap.”
Xingxing quickly brought the meal over. “Master, the rice is ready, ya.”
Xie Chenyang sat up. “Wow, it smells so good. Xingxing, you’re awesome! By the way, update your information on this man next to me, as my mate, your other master.”
Xingxing walked over to Huo Qi and opened the door to his core. Huo Qi raised his wrist and taped it with his optical brain.
Xingxing: “It’s been updated. Both masters, I saw a robot in the study when I scanned. Can I go play with it?”
Xie Chenyang waved his hand. “Go ahead.”
“Thank you, Master.” Xingxing raised its legs and trotted away. Oh~ there were new friends.
— After dinner. —
Huo Qi changed into formal attire. “I’m going out for a while. Do you want come with me?”
Xie Chenyang waved his hand and stroked his bulging stomach. “I’m not going. You go by yourself.”
Huo Qi: “I’ll be back soon.”
As soon as Huo Qi left, Xie Chenyang asked, [Where is he going?]
You Huang: “Went to look for Mo Wei, I think.”
[Mo Wei?]
“Someone from the information department in their legion.”
[Ohhhh, I’m really a little curious. What kind of plot did you set up for nine years ago? Can I know about it now?]
“Can’t.”
[Che.]
— Mo Wei’s house.—
Today Mo Wei was resting.
When he welcomed Huo Qi at the door, his hair was sleep-blown and he had absolutely no intention of fixing it, and while he made two cups of coffee, he yawned.“I stayed up late last night to help you get your wife’s information checked out clearly. Can’t you let me sleep more?”
Huo Qi lit a cigarette. “Clearly?”
Mo Wei gulped down a few mouthfuls of coffee. “Regarding the disappearance of those two days, I would’ve liked to have woken up and checked again, but you were too eager for that.”
Huo Qi: “Check now.”
Mo Wei whimpered and chugged the rest of his coffee in one gulp, bitterly asking, “Why are you in such a hurry!”
“I was attracted to him the first day I met him.” Huo Qi took a deep drag on his cigarette. “Now in just a few days, I might be in love with him.”
Mo Wei envied him. “It’s worthy of you, abstaining from pleasure for so many years, but once you meet the one you like, you directly reach the peak.”
“Don’t be an ass4贫 pín poor; inadequate; deficient; garrulous, check for me.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Mo Wei retreated to the sofa, operating his optical brain while asking, “You’re suspecting him?”
Huo Qi faintly said, “I want to understand him.”
In fact, the suspicion was there.
Mo Wei yawned again. “Actually, I don’t think he’s suspicious; that was originally his property. Living next door to him was your own choice. He shouldn’t be approaching you on purpose.”
Huo Qi: “Who in his social life could create such a system for him? Even you can’t find traces.”
Mo Wei: “……”
This was true.
He could not find the origin of the system named Ah Huang.
Ah Huang seemed to have appeared directly on Xie Chenyang’s light brain.
It was impossible to find what channel it reached Xie Chenyang’s system from.
With his investigative information, there was no one in this field that Xie Chenyang knew.
Huo Qi: “Maybe he’s not suspicious, but who knows if anyone is using him without him knowing it himself.”
Mo Wei nodded in response, and sat up straight, becoming serious.
Xie Chenyang, who had gotten You Huang’s “broadcast”, said angrily: [How dare he suspect me!]
You Huang: “Are you listening properly or not? He does not suspect you, he suspects that you are being used.”
[He’s just doubting my intelligence! How could I possibly be taken advantage of?]
Xie Chenyang huffed and puffed his way out the door.
You Huang: “Where are you going?”
[Running away from home!]
