âWhat is this disguise you speak of? Speak clearly.â Ye Junqiâs voice was cold and indifferent, he was in no mood to listen to Ji Qishuâs jokes right now.
Ji Qishu was surprised, paused for a moment, and said: âBrother Qi, you donât yet know that Qin Junye is actually a disguised one, do you?â
Ye Junqiâs face was taut, hearing these three words from Qin Junye irritated him. The low pressure around him made it hard for Ji Qishu to breathe.
Ji Qishu said, âTen years ago, after you set sail and encountered an accident, despite dispatching all the available boats and marine rescue teams, we couldnât find you. It was Fu Zhuo, who had completed the task of stealing the documents, who contacted me, and we searched for you together. Woah, Fu Zhuo pointed at some stranger lying on a piece of driftwood and claimed that it was you! At that time, I thought he had gone mad looking for you and was impostoring anyone he found. But then Fu Zhuo confessed that he disguised you after you fell asleep. That was you after disguise! When I saw the ID photo that Xiao Xingguang posted last night, even if it turned into ashes, I would never be mistaken. Wasnât the photo on that ID exactly how you looked after you were disguised?â
Ye Junqi: â!!!â
The cold wind blew incessantly into Ji Qishuâs face in the night. Even though it was the coolest summer night in August, Ji Qishu kept shivering. âBrother Qi, why do you look so bad? I swear I didnât make anything up. If you donât believe me, ask Fu Zhuo. He said you were so rash back then, you would go deep into the tigerâs den without even wearing a disguise. Fortuitously, he found Qin Junyeâs ID on the beach and turned you into the person in the ID photo while you were asleepâ¦â
Ye Junqiâs fingers were tightly clenched, making a creaking noise: â!!!â
Frightened by Ye Junqiâs terrifying expression, Ji Qishu immediately took out his phone and said, âIâll call Fu Zhuo right now to confirm that my words are not false. Donât vent your anger on me, I didnât lie to you. Why do you look so terrifying?â
Having said that, Ji Qishu dialed Fu Zhuoâs number and turned on speaker: âFu Zhuo, didnât you notice that the ID photo Starlight posted in the family group last night looks exactly like Brother Qi after you disguised him at sea ten years ago?â
After being tipped off, Fu Zhuo slapped his forehead in realization: âI knew the name Qin Junye sounded familiar but I couldnât remember why. I did recognize the photo on that ID from somewhere, but couldnât remember where Iâd seen it before. Thatâs what it was all about.â
Before Fu Zhuo could finish, he paused and continued, âIs it really such a coincidence that the ID I picked up belongs to the very same person little Miss Ye was once infatuated with? And I turned Brother Qi into that very same person?â
Even over the phone, Ye Junqi wanted to kick Fu Zhuo flying, he disguised him as what little mermaidâs infatuation target!
The person little mermaid was infatuated with was him!
âWhy didnât I know about this at all?â Ye Junqi was agitated, frustrated, and he longed to break Fu Zhuo into pieces!
Fu Zhuo was taken aback: âQi⦠Brother Qi is there too?â
Ji Qishu didnât even answer Fu Zhuoâs words: âBrother Qi, now do you believe me? I didnât lie. We didnât tell you because we were afraid that dad and mom would blame Fu Zhuo. After all, due to that disguise, we almost lost you and you almost drowned⦠Brother Qi, donât be angry at Fu Zhuo. He meant well, afraid that without a disguise, your identity would have been exposed.â
Fu Zhuo also said over the phone: âBrother Qi, I was wrong. Punish me however you want, just get me out of the dog house.â
