Chapter 68 My mind is stirred, my heart is moved...
Ling Yi spoke with a serious expression, but was interrupted by Qi Min before he could even begin.
"...I want to ask the Lord some questions seriously. If I get too close to him, I'm afraid I might not get the answers I want to know."
Ling Yi continued speaking, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He understood that Qi Min had probably guessed what he wanted to ask and was starting his usual routine again, so he simply expressed his meaning.
"How could that be? Unless the question you asked is one I don't want to answer."
Seeing that he didn't take the bait, Qi Min realized that his plan had failed, so he simply brought it up directly.
"So, is the Lord admitting that he deliberately didn't want to answer me those previous times?"
Taking the opportunity, Ling Yi expressed his dissatisfaction with Qi Min's attempts to change the subject on previous occasions.
"No, that was just a spontaneous impulse, and you didn't ask about it afterward."
Qi Min spoke frankly, without any embarrassment.
Looking at Qi Min, who was shamelessly acting shamelessly in front of him, Ling Yi felt a bit of amusement despite his annoyance.
When he asked earlier, Qi Min had given him perfectly correct answers.
But things kept turning in the opposite direction, making it impossible for Ling Yi to speak. Now, Qi Min was even turning the tables on him.
"So, does that mean you don't want to answer the question I want to ask now?"
Ling Yi decided to ignore Qi Min's shamelessness for now, lest he steer the conversation astray again.
"No, that's not it. Although I'm reluctant to answer, if you really want to know..."
I'll still tell you, after all, you're the one I like so much..."
Qi Min readily admitted it, and as he spoke, his tone was tinged with a smile, his lips curving upwards, and his eyes looking tenderly at Ling Yi.
Ling Yi's emotions were thrown into turmoil by Qi Min's straightforward words and gentle demeanor.
She lowered her eyes and stopped looking at him. Her lips moved slightly, about to speak, but then she heard Qi Min speak again.
"However... I also have something I need your help with. If you agree..."
"I will answer all the questions you ask me today, and I promise I won't change the subject!"
Qi Min changed the subject, and said with a serious expression that he also had a request.
"Okay, what is it?"
Ling Yi nodded in agreement. Although he didn't understand what Qi Min's matter specifically referred to, he figured it shouldn't be difficult to figure it out.
"There's no rush. Let me handle it after you've asked all your questions."
When Qi Min saw Ling Yi agree, his brows relaxed and he looked extremely happy.
"Could the male lord recount to me the true story of the incident that night, in which the male insect was attacked?"
Ling Yi pondered for a moment, not wanting to engage in a question-and-answer session with Qi Min and risk being led astray by him. Instead, he cut straight to the point, letting Qi Min tell the story himself, attempting to firmly grasp the power of the conversation.
Seeing Ling Yi's incisive and concise expression, Qi Min couldn't help but smile.
Ling Yi's decisive and direct manner was incredibly attractive to Qi Min, easily captivating him and stirring his emotions...
Qi Min first lowered his eyes, suppressing the surging thoughts in his heart, and then looked up at Ling Yi.
She began with a serious expression and a gentle tone, slowly recounting to Ling Yi everything that had happened that night at the 'Zunshang Club'.
During Qi Min's narration, Ling Yi's brows furrowed several times, his eyes showing a mixture of emotions: displeasure, contempt, and disgust for the male insects' actions.
Ling Yi listened quietly without interrupting Qi Min's story, and even thoughtfully poured Qi Min a glass of warm water.
Seeing his expression, Qi Min could only smile helplessly, take the warm water, and continue telling Ling Yi his story.
That's all that happened that night.
After Qi Min finished speaking, he drank the last bit of cold water in his glass, licked his lips, and then felt it wasn't enough. He wanted Ling Yi to pour him another glass.
Seeing Ling Yi frowning and deep in thought, Qi Min didn't want to interrupt him, so he could only patiently lean back against the headboard, quietly looking at Ling Yi's handsome features, waiting for him to come to his senses before asking him.
"So the Xiongzhu's injury wasn't actually caused by Meng Jun, but rather the Xiongzhu deliberately injured himself to frame him, right?"
Ling Yi spoke slowly, his voice low and his expression calm, but Qi Min sensed that he seemed somewhat displeased.
"No... that's not it either..."
As soon as Qi Min opened his mouth, Ling Yi raised his eyes and looked at him calmly. Qi Min couldn't help but feel a strange sense of guilt under his gaze.
"What about the two female insects that the male master saved?"
Ling Yi continued to ask, looking at Ling Yi with focused eyes, very calm.
But Qi Min always had a feeling that if he dared to bluff his way through, he would be completely finished.
"There weren't many arrangements made. They were injected with a lot of drugs and knew nothing. As for that sub-female, she used to be a doctor."
So it's normal for him to occasionally regain consciousness. And when he does, he finds me severely injured and then uses my personal terminal to make an SOS call. Isn't that reasonable?
Qi Min explained to Ling Yi with a serious expression, his tone becoming increasingly matter-of-fact towards the end.
"Isn't the male master worried that he'll tell others? And that female insect who saved you—you hit his male master right in front of him."
If he was just emotionally charged at the time, what if he later regretted it and told others? Have these powerful rulers ever considered that?
Ling Yi frowned, looking at Qi Min with some worry in his eyes.
Qi Min's actions were undeniably audacious, even though the Meng family's power wasn't particularly great.
However, even on the capital planet, they are considered top-tier; the Meng family has even produced an S-class male insect.
Although Meng Jun's father was from a collateral branch, his older brother Meng Zhuo was also an A-grade male insect, making him wealthy, powerful, and of a high rank.
In contrast, Qi Min, aside from his high rank, has no other background or foundation. Even if Qi Min's plan succeeds by chance this time, what will happen afterward?
Qi Min will always exclude other male insects; as long as the Meng family doesn't fall, no one will befriend him.
"have not thought."
Qi Min answered softly that he hadn't thought about these things when he did it.
He was already in a bad mood, and then Meng Jun happened to touch on something he couldn't stand.
Qi Min hadn't originally intended to make a big scene. Even after encountering He Cheng, who had saved him before, seeing his appearance filled Qi Min with anger.
But all Qi Min wanted was to find He Cheng's powerful lord and help him avenge himself.
However, everything changed the moment Meng Jun, with murderous intent on his face, raised his gun and fired at him.
Qi Min understood that if Meng Jun was alright, this matter would definitely not be resolved peacefully.
But the fight has already begun, the deed has already been done, and things have already progressed to this point.
Qi Min decided to go all out; since he couldn't make it smaller, he might as well make it bigger.
