Chapter 679 - 682: People's Hearts are Unpredictable

Chi Yu turned to look at his younger brother, and after examining him closely for a moment, realized that his brother’s complexion was indeed very bad.

Since their sister got injured, their home has been enveloped in gloom, and laughter hasn’t been heard for a long time.

Both he and his brother were plagued by this haze, unable to eat or sleep well, feeling irritable, short-tempered, and drained. They attributed all these negative feelings to being overly worried about their sister, and thought their bad mood was normal.

But now, reminded by Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, he realized that his brother’s complexion wasn’t just bad—it was exceptionally bad.

His face was pale, shadows were under his eyes, even his lips turned to an unusual water-like color, and he had lost a significant amount of weight.

Looking at him closely like this, he was extremely worried.

With his sister in her current condition, he and his brother couldn’t afford to have any more problems.

If anything happened to him or his brother, what would their parents do?

So, he stopped refusing: “Then Dr. Yue will have to be troubled once more.”

“Don’t mention it,” Ye Xingbei smiled gently, “Dr. Yue is a highly skilled and likable person. She’s more than happy to help, there’s no need for you to feel burdened.”

“Yes,” Chi Yu nodded and replied: “Dr. Yue is very good.”

Chi Zhan, looked towards the direction Dr. Yue departed and stared blankly, lost in his own thoughts.

Chi Yu asked Gu Junzhu: “Fifth Brother, my thoughts are a bit disorganized right now. Chi Zhen is like a real brother to me. My younger brother, my parents, and I all cherish him. I really can’t think of a way to test him. Do you have any good suggestions?”

Chi Zhen was different from the people of the Shi family.

Towards the Shi family, he could be ruthless and unimpeded.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But towards Chi Zhen, he was hesitant, worried about unjustly accusing or hurting him.

When it came to dealing with Chi Zhen, he was completely helpless.

“There are plenty of ways, but it depends on whether you’re willing to use them,” Gu Junzhu wore a faint smile: “Let’s discuss Chi Zhen’s issue after Dr. Yue has examined you. If someone has tampered with your health, then we will have even more options.”

Chi Zhan frowned and said: “Fifth Brother, perhaps you’ve made a mistake? Ah Zhen has always been kind to our family, he would never hurt us.”

Chi Zhan was very dissatisfied with the implication in Gu Junzhu’s words that seemed to have judged Chi Zhen guilty.

Gu Junzhu chuckled softly: “To know a person is hard, one may know the face but not the heart. You should be mentally prepared; I am always confident in my judgment.”

Once he’s spoken, he has already determined that Chi Zhen has connections with the harm inflicted upon Chi Qing.

Now, the only thing missing is evidence.

Chi Zhan stubbornly said: “I believe Ah Zhen would never harm us, I’m sure Fifth Brother is mistaken.”

Chi Yu sternly reprimanded: “Little Zhan, how can you speak to Fifth Brother like that?”

“It doesn’t matter,” Gu Junzhu chuckled, not minding at all, “I too hope Chi Zhen is a good brother to you, and maybe I’m wrong and you’re right.”

“But you should still be mentally prepared,” Ye Xingbei looked at the brothers sympathetically and said: “So far, I have never seen him go wrong. I too hope this will be an exception, but I fear the chances are slim.”

“I understand,” Chi Yu nodded: “I’m prepared. After all, my parents, brother, sister, and I are the ones who are truly related by blood. Even though Ah Zhen is part of our family, he isn’t blood-related to us. There’s a difference. If he did something to Qingqing and us, I won’t be too surprised.”

There have been countless cases of family members from influential families harming each other, let alone Chi Zhen who is not their blood sibling.

Human hearts can be unpredictable.

Many times, the extent to which human hearts can stoop to, is unimaginable to ordinary people.
