The Past
Only Ning Qi, Wang Nan, Chen Yan, and Chen Peng were left in the room. After confirming that Chen Peng could move his legs, Wang Nan and Chen Yan looked at Ning Qi excitedly, not knowing what to say.
Ning Qi looked at Chen Peng and said, "Although your injuries were caused by a fall, there's a part of your body that wasn't. You were probably kicked."
"What? Did someone kick you? "
Chen Yan was shocked. Chen Peng had an accident when she was still in Wang Nan's belly. She only knew that Chen Peng fell from the third floor and was lucky enough to not die, only half of his body was paralyzed.
If Ning Qi had said this before, Chen Yan would never have believed it. But now, she had seen with her own eyes that Ning Qi had treated her father, whom she had sought medical treatment for nearly 20 years but to no avail, with just a few needles. She had no choice but to believe it.
"It can't be, right? It can't be, Zhang Shan wouldn't do that kind of thing … "
Wang Nan seemed to have thought of something and muttered to himself, "No matter what, it was cousin who saved him from the garbage …"
"Mom, what's the matter?"
Chen Yan was getting more and more confused. Seeing that Wang Nan was still muttering to himself, she could only look at Chen Peng. Chen Yan noticed that Chen Peng's expression had changed after Ning Qi said that.
"Dad, this, this Student Ning's words, is it true? One of your injuries was caused by a kick? "
Chen Yan asked.
Chen Peng looked hesitant. It had been so many years since this incident, and he had also been lying in bed for so many years. Now that he knew that Zhang Shan had become one of the top ten richest people in Huaxia, no one would believe him if he told them about what happened back then. It would only bring disaster to his family.
"There are some things that you have to say. Your injuries were caused by Zhang Shan, right?"
Ning Qi said indifferently.
Zhang Shan?
Chen Yan was stunned. The Zhang Shan that Ning Qi mentioned couldn't be the founder and chairman of the Arctic Mountain Group, Zhang Shan, right?
"You, who are you? Did he send you?"
Chen Peng looked at Ning Qi with a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Don't worry, there's no one around Zhang Shan who can treat your injuries. I wasn't sent by him, so there's no need for him to do so."
Ning Qi said.
"Student Ning, you must have misunderstood. Back then, it was actually my Old Chen who went to find trouble with Zhang Shan. In the end, he accidentally fell down a building. If it wasn't for Zhang Shan, Old Chen would have gone to jail for a few years …"
Wang Nan suddenly said.
"Dad, Mom, what's going on? Don't tell me there's some secret about dad's injuries? "
Chen Yan looked at the two of them in disbelief. Why did it seem like her parents knew Zhang Shan? Would a family like theirs know a tycoon like Zhang Shan?
Chen Yan suddenly thought of the figure at Tianhai University who was surrounded by people. She had once envied her for being Zhang Shan's biological daughter. Before she even graduated from university, she already controlled 13% of the Arctic Mountain Group's shares and had a net worth of over 100 billion. Even the teachers and directors of the university had to bow down to her when they saw her, secretly fawning over her.
In Tianhai University, all the boys wanted to get close to her, and all the girls envied and envied her. Chen Yan didn't even dare to dream of that princess-like life.
But now, she realized that her family seemed to have some connection with his family?
"Wang Nan, you're wrong. You're really wrong. Little brother is right. I was indeed kicked down the stairs by Zhang Shan …"
Chen Peng suddenly said through gritted teeth.
Wang Nan was stunned. Chen Yan was stunned.
A cold glint flashed in Ning Qi's eyes.
He clenched his fists and said, "When Ning Qi went missing, I thought it was Zhang Shan's doing. But he was Ning Qi's right-hand man, so I didn't dare to look for him just like that. So, I brought a knife. Wang Nan, did you know? Zhang Shan admitted that he killed Ning Qi and destroyed the evidence. I wanted to avenge Ning Qi, but I only managed to cut him once before he kicked me down from the third floor. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect God to let me linger on for so many years …"
Wang Nan's face was already covered in tears. "Why didn't you say anything all these years? Why didn't you tell the police!"
"It's useless. I didn't have any evidence. Zhang Shan later sent someone to the hospital to warn me that if I said anything, you … and the baby in your belly would be in trouble!"
Chen Peng slammed his fist on the bed and cried, "That's why I didn't dare! I didn't dare! "
Chen Yan stood there in a daze. She had received a lot of information from Chen Peng's words that she couldn't digest at the moment. Ning Qi … Could he be the uncle that Grandpa hated? The uncle that Grandpa would scold several times every year when he went back home? But Chen Yan could see that although Grandpa scolded Ning Qi, he missed him very much. He just refused to admit it.
Chen Yan had once been curious about this uncle of hers. Later on, she felt that he had abandoned his family and left for many years, never appearing again. He had no sense of responsibility, which made her feel disgusted. But after so many years, the uncle she had always been curious about was killed by Zhang Shan?
What was her uncle's identity back then? Why did he have such a connection with the rich man Zhang Shan?
Wang Nan finally understood why Chen Peng had hidden this matter for so many years. Back then, he had been pointed at and wronged by the neighbors.
"After that, Zhang Shan asked you to work at the Arctic Mountain Group as a janitor. I didn't reject him. I also felt that after so many years, he would pay you a higher salary to make things easier for you. If I'm not wrong, your salary is a few hundred more than others …"
Chen Peng held Wang Nan's hand and sighed heavily. "Wang Nan, you won't blame me, right? It was that old classmate of mine, your cousin, who introduced you to me. I don't know if he's dead or alive, so I can't pretend not to know … "
"I don't blame you. It's just a pity for my cousin. If he wasn't dead, would Zhang Shan still be where he is today? All of this should be my cousin's! "
Wang Nan gritted his teeth in hatred. He had actually worked in his enemy's group for so many years!
"Little brother, you seem to know Zhang Shan? Oh right, what's your name? I forgot to ask. You're my great benefactor! We'll be relatives from now on! "
Chen Peng suddenly realized that Ning Qi was still around.
"Old Chen, it's such a coincidence. Student Ning has the same surname as my cousin …" At this point, Wang Nan was stunned. He suddenly looked at Ning Qi. "They look alike …"
"You, you …"
Chen Peng pointed at Ning Qi agitatedly.
