Zhou Wenguang looked at him calmly.
Zhou Qiang asked again, "Where is Xiao Qi?"
Zhou Wenguang repeated, "He is sick and resting at home."
"What happened to him?" Zhou Qiang pressed on.
Zhou Wenguang remained unfazed, "It's nothing, just a little fever, resting at home."
Zhou Qiang immediately retorted, "Impossible, Xiao Qi has always been in good health. How could he suddenly have a fever?"
Zhou Wenguang replied without changing his expression, "Maybe he is just too tired."
"Where is he?" Zhou Qiang stared at him, "I want to see him."
Zhou Wenguang coldly asked, "What do you want to see Xiao Qi for?"
"I have some questions for him."
"What questions?"
Zhou Qiang was silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, "About Li Xue."
Zhou Wenguang narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a few seconds before suddenly turning and walking away.
Zhou Qiang followed him.
The two arrived at an isolated area outside the Cemetery, where Zhou Wenguang finally stopped and turned to face Zhou Qiang. "Xiao Qiang, I know you always think I owe it to Xiao Xue, but I have my own difficulties."
Zhou Qiang interrupted him, "I just want to know where Xiao Qi is."
Zhou Wenguang looked at him and said, "I have locked him up."
Zhou Qiang's expression changed: "Why?"
"He made me acknowledge you as my illegitimate son on Li Xue's hundredth day."
Zhou Qiang was stunned.
Zhou Wenguang gritted his teeth, "I disagreed, so he caused a scene. I had no choice but to lock him up."
Zhou Qiang trembled with anger, "How could you do this?"
Zhou Wenguang frowned, "If I don't do this, should I just let him ruin the Zhou family?"
"It's us who are being ruined, not you!" Zhou Qiang shouted angrily, "What right do you have to talk about ruin? What right?"
Zhou Wenguang's face turned pale as he was yelled at.
Zhou Qiang closed his eyes, suppressing his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Let go of Xiao Qi."
Zhou Wenguang frowned, "Xiao Qiang—"
"Let him go!" Zhou Qiang glared at him coldly, "If anything happens to him, I won't forgive you."
Zhou Wenguang's expression changed, and he bit his lip as he looked at him.
Zhou Qiang looked back at him.
Their gazes met, both filled with determination and an unyielding spirit.
In the end, it was Zhou Wenguang who backed down first. He sighed and said helplessly, "Fine, I'll let him go."
Zhou Qiang's expression softened slightly.
Zhou Wenguang looked at him earnestly and said, "Xiao Qiang, you need to think this through. If Xiao Qi appears here today, our family's reputation and future will be ruined."
Zhou Qiang replied indifferently, "I don't care."
Zhou Wenguang was taken aback, looking at him in disbelief.
Zhou Qiang stared at him and said word by word, "If you had told me earlier that you were this kind of person, I would rather live forever in the illusion I created."
Zhou Wenguang looked at him with emotion: "Xiao Qiang, you..."
"I don't want a father like you," Zhou Qiang interrupted coldly, "I'd rather not have one."
Zhou Wenguang's face turned pale.
Zhou Qiang glanced at him and turned to leave.
Xu Jing stood in front of the Cemetery when a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
She abruptly turned her head to look at the spot where Zhou Wenguang had placed the urn earlier.
The urn that Zhou Wenguang had in his hand was fake!
In other words, Li Xue's ashes had not been buried. At that moment, Zhou Qiang's phone call came in. Xu Jing answered the call. Zhou Qiang mentioned an address and then hung up. Xu Jing understood that Zhou Qiang wanted her to find Zhou Qi. She immediately drove over.
Upon arriving, Xu Jing pushed the door open and saw Zhou Qi sitting on the sofa, holding Li Xue's urn, his eyes bloodshot. The room was empty, with no dangerous items present. Zhou Wenguang did not intend to harm Zhou Qi; he simply locked him in here.
Hearing the sound, Zhou Qi slowly looked up. Xu Jing stood at the doorway, looking at him: "Zhou Qi, today marks a hundred days since Li Xue's passing; don't miss the burial time."
