Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

Qian Cheng was completely overwhelmed. Not only did he have to worry about Wei Shixu's current condition, but he also had to deal with the eccentric old man, Wei Jingsan, who constantly acted up.

Wei Shixu had gone on a trip without taking anyone with him, not even informing anyone where he was going. His phone was off, and he ignored all calls and messages.

He had just disappeared.

Qian Cheng didn’t dare to investigate.

Wei Jingsan, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. He spent his days indulging in trivial pleasures, eating and playing aimlessly, and occasionally delivering a heavy blow to the Yan family.

He treated Yan Guanghua like a dog on a leash.

Did he really not worry about Wei Shixu at all?

Qian Cheng was going insane!

That day, he arranged a meeting with Kong Mingze, hoping to get some information from the only friend of the young master.

However, the first thing Kong Mingze said took Qian Cheng by surprise: "Mr. Qian, last time you helped me arrange an appointment with a psychologist, I didn’t go. Can you help me arrange it again?"

Qian Cheng: "???”

What is going on with all of you!

But he still arranged a doctor's appointment for Kong Mingze.

Qian Cheng truly couldn’t understand.

Why did Master Wei think Wei Shixu was fine when clearly he was acting strangely?

And why did Master Wei insist that Kong Mingze had a problem when he seemed so cheerful and outgoing?

For the entire summer, Kong Mingze underwent psychological treatment.

While classmates either went on vacations or took on summer jobs to build their resumes, Zhuge Ying, who had received a hefty bonus from Wei Corporation, didn’t spend a single cent. Instead, she delved into her textbooks, preparing to enter the academic world early, planning her next seven years.

She would climb, reach the top, and see for herself who was waiting for her!

Late August.

Qian Cheng received a phone call that left him in shock. He immediately rushed out of Wei Jingsan’s mansion and arranged for a fleet of cars to pick someone up at the airport.

At the airport, Wei Shixu emerged from a private channel, wearing...

Well, a rather unusual outfit. He was clad in coarse linen, a simple white garment, and wore cotton shoes on his feet.

It was a martial arts training outfit, the most basic kind.

Despite the simplicity of his outfit, his appearance was impeccable, his aura otherworldly. Hanging from his chest was a red and gold mountain spirit charm, the only splash of color against the monochrome ensemble.

As he walked out, airport staff gawked, their eyes wide, trying to get a good look at him.

Poor yet rich—it was rather mind-blowing!

Qian Cheng had never seen Wei Shixu in anything but black, so he was taken aback.

It wasn’t until Wei Shixu approached and slid into the backseat of the car that Qian Cheng realized he hadn’t even opened the door for his young master. Hastily, he climbed into the passenger seat, feeling uneasy.

The convoy set off.

Qian Cheng composed himself and began reporting on the past two months: "Young Master... I mean, Wei CEO, Kong Mingze has been undergoing psychological treatment... Master Wei has been harassing Yan Guanghua from time to time, though not intensely. He mostly spends his time eating and playing around."

Wei Shixu listened quietly before speaking his first words: "Qian Cheng, you need to change your title."

Qian Cheng jolted upright: "Yes, Wei CEO."

Wei Shixu’s expression remained calm: "Have the makeup exam arrangements been completed?"

Qian Cheng: "Yes, your school records are still with Liang Secondary School."

Wei Shixu: "Good. Head to the company."

Qian Cheng: "Uh? Ah? Shouldn’t we go back to the mansion first?"

Wei Shixu repeated firmly: "To the company."

Qian Cheng: "Yes, Wei CEO."

...

Before the new semester began, Kong Mingze visited Wei Shixu’s office at the company, guided by an employee.

Wei Shixu, dressed in a suit, was working at his desk.

Kong Mingze’s first words upon entering were: "Wow! So handsome! You’ve matured so much!"

Wei Shixu stood up to welcome him: "Why are you visiting me here?"

Kong Mingze leaned against the doorframe with a smile: "I came to say goodbye. I’m heading abroad."

Wei Shixu glanced at him: "Studying abroad?"

Kong Mingze nodded: "Yes, I plan to major in Food Science and Food Business Management."

Wei Shixu: "That suits you. You should’ve gone earlier."

Kong Mingze wasn’t academically inclined, but his talent in the culinary field was extraordinary.

Kong Mingze: "What about you? Are you really repeating your senior year after being the top scorer in the college entrance exam?"

Wei Shixu: "Yes, this year is perfect to settle things with the Yan family once and for all."

Kong Mingze gave him a thumbs up: "Incredible!"

...

The September school season arrived.

Zuo Zichen walked into campus in a daze; he was now a senior in high school.

The downfall of the Zuo family had caused quite a stir in Liangxi Town. Zuo Zhiyu was scrambling to borrow money, and various illegitimate children, mistresses, and scandals had started to surface. Zuo Zhaoyuan and Zhang Liufang almost ended up homeless.

Zuo Zichen didn’t have the energy to deal with all that. He focused on studying, avoiding his family.

But as soon as he entered the classroom, someone was waiting for him at the door.

It was Wei Mingxuan.

Zuo Zichen sighed; he knew this day would come.

Last year, he had beaten up Wei Mingxuan in a fit of rage, with Wei Shixu and Quan Zhisui backing him up. Naturally, he hadn’t faced any consequences, and Wei Mingxuan hadn’t dared to retaliate.

But now, it was different.

The Zuo family had gone bankrupt, and Zuo Zichen had become a laughingstock.

With the older figures like Wei Shixu and Quan Zhisui graduating, Wei Mingxuan had taken over as the ruler of Liang Secondary School.

Zuo Zichen walked out into the hallway, knowing full well the brutal campus bullying he was about to face. He closed his eyes, ready to accept his fate.

Wei Mingxuan raised his fist, ready to deliver the first blow himself.

But then...

Zuo Zichen felt someone grab him by his collar and pull him behind them.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Wei Shixu standing there.

Wait...

Wei Shixu??

Wei Mingxuan was stunned. He blurted out: "Brother."

Wei Shixu, dressed in a tailored suit, exuded the pressure of a high-ranking executive. He wasn’t even wearing a school uniform; he had just come to report to school and would soon head back to the company.

Wei Shixu ignored Wei Mingxuan and patted Zuo Zichen on the shoulder: "Follow me inside."

Zuo Zichen blinked, then quickly followed into the classroom.

He remembered the explosive news during the summer break in Liang Secondary School—or rather, the entire Liangxi Town.

The top scorer of the college entrance exam had torn up his acceptance notification letter!

The best university in the country, and he refused to attend!

Incredible doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Wei Mingxuan glared at the two, his expression shifting between anger and helplessness, but there was nothing he could do.

Wei Shixu had taken over the company, and now all of Wei Corporation was under his control. And there was no chance it would ever go to anyone else.

The other Wei family members were doomed to remain in his shadow forever.

Wei Shixu led Zuo Zichen inside, pointing to the last row, the seat once occupied by Quan Zhisui.

"This seat is mine. Keep it empty when I’m not here," he said.

Zuo Zichen nodded furiously: "Got it, brother!"

Wei Shixu added: "I won’t be at school often, but if Wei Mingxuan bothers you, contact me immediately."

Zuo Zichen was overjoyed!

Who would have thought Wei Shixu would repeat his senior year and be in the same class as him?

Absolutely incredible!@@novelbin@@

But soon, Zuo Zichen grew anxious and asked hesitantly: "Brother, are you still my sister-in-law... I mean, are you still with my sister?"

Wei Shixu didn’t answer the question, instead asking: "Has your sister blocked you?"

Zuo Zichen nodded sadly: "She’s been very kind to me, though. She’s shown me a way forward, otherwise, I wouldn’t even be able to afford tuition right now."

Wei Shixu: "Have you saved enough for college tuition?"

Zuo Zichen nodded again: "Yes, I’ve saved it. Before dad went bankrupt, my sister told me to ask for as much pocket money as possible, to the max. I did exactly that."

Wei Shixu didn’t say anything more, completed his registration, and left the school.
