The Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife Changes to Take the Black Moonlight Script - Chapter 69

Tianhao Garden.

Wei Yixian had just entered the door and hadn’t even had time to change her shoes when she received Chu Fei’s report.

After listening to the whole story, Wei Yixian pressed her lips together and remained silent for a long time.

Chu Fei also hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “President Wei, could there be something wrong with this?”

Based on her past investigative experience, the behavior of those two girls in the coffee shop was actually quite suspicious.

They started taking selfies shortly after Shang Shiqian entered, with many of their selfie angles directed toward Shang Shiqian and Shang Xiaowu’s direction.

Chu Fei and the other female bodyguard, Ying Jia, immediately became alert and cautious, and as soon as the waiter brought the coffee and juice, they were the first to sample them.

Even so, they never expected that just the two girls mentioning the Go master’s late-stage colorectal cancer would provoke such a strong reaction from Shang Shiqian.

Wei Yixian responded with an “Mhm” and said, “There’s a problem.”

Others might not know, but she was very clear that Yu Yifei was the teacher whom Shang Shiqian had formally bowed to in worship ceremony and served tea to as a sign of respect.

Upon learning that he was critically ill, Shang Shiqian would definitely want to see him one last time.

But Yu Yifei was diagnosed with colorectal cancer several years ago.

After surgery, he had been undergoing treatment, and there had been no signs of recurrence in the past two years, requiring only regular check-ups.

Where did this critical condition come from?

So, it was obvious that someone was using Yu Yifei to fish for Shang Shiqian.

Wei Yixian guessed who it was.

Recently, Shang Shixing had been quite active.

Although very discreet, she hadn’t been completely unaware.

She didn’t understand why Shang Shixing had suddenly set his sights on “Shang Shiyu”, it couldn’t have been Shang Xiaowu who revealed it, otherwise Shang Xiaowu wouldn’t have secretly come to see Shang Shiqian today.

Moreover, Shang Shixing had only started making moves a few days ago, and her investigation wasn’t based on the premise that “Shang Xiaowu revealed that Shang Shiyu looks very similar to Shang Shiqian.”

Reportedly, Shang Shixing took a surveillance video to the technical department of the public security bureau, asking them to help analyze and determine whether it had been altered or used AI.

What did this surveillance footage capture? Was it related to Shang Shiqian?

Why did Shang Shixing meet with Xiao Luomeng shortly after receiving confirmation that the video showed no signs of artificial splicing or alteration?

And what did they discuss during their meeting?

Wei Yixian had no way of knowing the details.

But she knew that things had reached a point where, with her methods, it could no longer be concealed.

After all, she wasn’t the kind of domineering CEO from those CEO novels who could cover up everything single-handedly.

Chu Fei was startled: “Then,”

Wei Yixian said wearily, “Don’t try to stop it, because you won’t be able to.” And neither could I.

Chu Fei didn’t understand.

But Wei Yixian didn’t explain, and she couldn’t press further.

After hanging up, Wei Yixian said to Pu Feifei, “Don’t prepare dinner.”

Pu Feifei was very worried: “President Wei, what happened?”

Could it be that President Wei and Little Shang had another argument or were being difficult with each other?

That couldn’t be, right?

I heard they were having quite a good time at the children’s playground.

Wei Yixian said, “It’s nothing.”

“But Little Shang…”

“Chu Fei and Ying Jia are still with her.”

Pu Feifei then understood that Shang Shiqian wasn’t in danger, and she and Wei Yixian hadn’t argued; it was just that the issues between them were something no one else could intervene in or offer advice about.

It was just a pity about the carefully prepared dinner Wei Yixian had arranged.

Wei Yixian took off her shoes and walked to the wine cabinet. Just as she was about to open it, she suddenly remembered that Shang Shiqian had locked it.

So she turned and went to the wine cellar, bringing out several bottles of red wine. While drinking, she exported the videos and photos she had taken that day and played them on the projector.

There were over two hundred photos, most of which were of Shang Shiqian taken by her.

As the photos progressed, she suddenly noticed that there were more and more pictures of them together.

It was then that she realized perhaps when she had handed the camera to the bodyguard, Chu Fei and the others had secretly taken these photos.

In the photos where they appeared together, she had initially been a bit reserved, but gradually, infected by Shang Shiqian’s carefree joy, she began to immerse herself in the moment.

After the photos, there was a short video recording Shang Shiqian sitting on a small train. As the train pulled into the station, she waved at the camera.

It was just an ordinary, everyday scene, but it appeared after all the frozen moments captured in the photos.

At the moment the photos transitioned into the video, it was as if Shang Shiqian whose life seemed to have been frozen at the age of 21 burst through the constraints of time with vibrant vitality, welcoming her 22nd birthday.

Wei Yixian pressed the repeat button.

A long time later, she curled up her legs and buried her face in her arms.

“Shang Shiqian, Happy 22nd birthday.”

–

City First Central Hospital.

Shang Xiaowu received a call from Shang Shixing, informing her that there had been new developments in her case and that their grandmother and mother wanted her to return home for a family meeting.

She had come to see Shang Shiqian without telling her family, so she felt quite guilty after receiving the call. Coupled with Shang Shixing’s serious tone, she had no choice but to tell Shang Shiqian that something had come up at home and she had to leave.

“Did something happen at home?” Shang Shiqian asked with concern.

“Nothing’s wrong at home. It’s just that there are new developments in my case, and the family needs to hold a meeting about it.”

Shang Shiqian felt relieved. “Then you should head back first.”

Seeing that Chu Fei and Ying Jia were there with Shang Shiqian, Shang Xiaowu left with peace of mind.

Shang Shiqian followed the hospital’s directions and found the intensive care unit.

However, there were two doors, and from outside the first one, she couldn’t see anything.

A passing nurse, assuming she was a family member of one of the patients inside, told her to sit on a chair and wait for the doctor instead of blocking the hallway.

So she asked, “Excuse me, if I want to visit Yu Yifei, how do I apply for visitation procedures?”

The nurse replied, “Yu Yifei? There’s no patient by that name here. Maybe he’s been transferred to the inpatient department.”

Shang Shiqian thought to herself that if he had been transferred to the inpatient department, it meant his condition had improved.

But if Yu Yifei wasn’t in the inpatient department either, she would have to prepare for the worst.

Fortunately, when she arrived at the nursing station in the inpatient department, the nurse said, “Yu Yifei is in Room 1723, Oncology Department, 17th floor.”

Unlike the general wards with four or five beds and open doors where anyone could come and go, Room 1723 was a non-public VIP ward.

After making sure her hat and mask were properly in place, Shang Shiqian knocked on the door of Room 1723.

“Come in,” a male voice called from inside.

Chu Fei opened the door first and went in, checking that there was no ambush inside before stepping aside to let Shang Shiqian enter.

An elderly man on the sofa looked curiously at the group of strange people who had suddenly appeared and asked, “Who are you?”

Shang Shiqian saw Yu Yifei, dressed in a hospital gown, sitting on the sofa pondering a chess game, and felt a wave of relief.

She didn’t delve into why a critically ill patient who had received multiple critical condition notices could get out of bed within just two or three days.

“I am… a Go player who holds you in great esteem. Upon learning of your illness, I wished to visit you. Please forgive my presumption in coming without prior consultation,” she said.

Only after speaking did she remember she hadn’t brought a fruit basket, which made her visit seem completely unlike a proper sickbed visit.

However, Yu Yifei didn’t mind these details and said with a smile, “That’s very thoughtful of you. Please have a seat.”

He personally poured water for Shang Shiqian.

Chu Fei initially wanted to test-drink it again, but Shang Shiqian believed that given Yu Yifei’s character and social status, he would never resort to poisoning or drugging.

She lowered her head, removed her mask, and took a sip of the warm water.

When she looked up after drinking, she noticed Yu Yifei had been staring at her the whole time.

Realizing his gaze had been too obvious, Yu Yifei quickly looked away and said, “My apologies. You remind me of one of my students, which is why I stared for so long. That was impolite.”

After speaking, he lowered his head to tidy the Go board on the tea table and added, “Since you’re also a player, how about keeping me company for a game?”

Shang Shiqian agreed.

After hand guessing, Yu Yifei played black first.

Shang Shiqian discreetly observed her teacher.

Eight years ago, Yu Yifei had been a spirited, energetic old man who showed no signs of being over sixty.

Now his hair was graying, and he had grown so thin that none of his former Go sage demeanor remained.

“Focus,” Yu Yifei said without even looking up at her, able to tell from her playing that her mind was wandering.

Shang Shiqian collected her thoughts and didn’t dare let her attention drift again.

The game had only been going for an hour when a nurse came to take Yu Yifei for his examination.

Yu Yifei seemed somewhat reluctant: “My examination won’t take long. Wait for me to return.”

Chu Fei asked: “What would you like for dinner, Miss Shang?”

Only then did Shang Shiqian realize it was already evening.

She had made dinner plans with Wei Yixian and prepared to leave.

Just as she opened the hospital room door, she saw a familiar figure standing outside.

E-eldest sister!?

Shang Shiqian’s pupils contracted.
