Saving the overbearing CEO

Chapter 267: Third World: Candy Con Artist

Feng Yu's brows creased wondering what this kid wanted but his face changed to a look of surprise. This little con artist was already trying to shake him like a mulberry tree for candy. "You little scam artist you must be kidding me," complained Feng Yu but Feng Xieling wouldn't budge patiently waiting for him with a raised brow. Having lost to a kid, Feng Yu opened his desk draw and gave Feng Xieling one.

Having seen an entire draw of candy and looking down at the single one handed to him by Feng Yu, Feng Xieling furrowed his brow in dissatisfaction. This standoff would have carried on if it weren't for Wen Qinxi's interruption. "Wait, wait, wait, you know Lin Lin?"

Feng Yu who had an expression like that of a person caught with his pants down sent out Feng Xieling after much convincing and being scammed out of an entire packet of butterscotch candy. It's a good thing Feng Zi confiscated the packet before Fang Xieling walked out otherwise they would have to deal with another episode of 'The Flash' starring Lin Lin.

After reinforcing himself, Feng Yu finally spilt all the beans. It turns out the day Feng Zi got the codes and stole the security card from President Qie's office, something happened between the two. After picking up his son, Feng Yu went straight for the crystal. He had intended to blackmail President Qie and make the entire nation pay for the loss of the love of his life but who knew his plan would backfire.

His curious kid poked the crystal while his father was busy scamming president Qie out of billions. Once that happened it was game over for this teenager. His body immediately absorbed the crystal in its entirety before he passed out. After a month of unconsciousness, Feng Zi's belly started growing to the point that it was visible under his clothes. Feng Yu who had been running around trying to save his son discovered a new problem.

Thinking it was a tumour or maybe the crystal trying to burst out off his son's body, Feng Yu ran an ultrasound on Feng Zi's tummy. The sturdy man almost fell over in shock when he saw this tiny bean swimming in there like a tadpole. He wanted to ask Feng Zi what happened between him and Qie Ranzhe but how could he ask him when he was in a coma.

He assumed that Feng Zi had some of Qie Ranzhe's DNA on him and once his son absorbed the crystal an expontaneous reaction occurred and boom! He was now a grandpa. Ridden with guilt for having driven his baby straight into the wolf's den, he let the embryo grow and planned to get rid of it afterwards. With that in mind, Feng Yu kept Feng Zi unconscious and found an orphanage across the continent. That way Feng Zi would never find out.

When Feng Zi woke up, his father was gone with only Airen and a criminal empire by his side. The funny thing was Feng Zi's mansion resembled a rainforest while the rest of the world was turning into a desert at a fast pace. Because Feng Yu had a soft spot for Qie Xieling, he visited a couple of times that is until the kid got adopted.

Wen Qinxi was overwhelmed by the information but what drew his attention more was the fact that the crystal was a part of him so how was he supposed to help Qie Ranzhe pass this world when it was inside of him. "Now you understand why I can't give you your crystal. It's because I don't have it.... It's gone," said Feng Yu feeling helpless.

This bombardment of information cast a grey shadow over Wen Qinxi who hadn't expected this turn of events. For the entirety of the day, he was distracted wondering how he was going to solve this. He wanted to ask the system if it had any ideas but Jolie was still playing hide and seek with Qie Ranzhe complicating things. He didn't get the chance to part with Qie Ranzhe and talk to Jolie because the General was clinging to him like he was afraid he would disappear at a moments notice.

Wen Qinxi only managed to get some breathing space when he convinced Qie Ranzhe to prepare Feng Xieling for bed. Since he only had approximately thirty minutes he urged the system to come out in an almost coaxing manner which took five minutes in total. He would have asked Xia Bai and Hei Bao but he still couldn't communicate with the outside world. It seemed CEO Qie intended to trap him in this game for the rest of his life.

"How am I supposed to help him when the fuckin crystal is inside me? Should I cut myself in half to take it out or something?" asked a frustrated Wen Qinxi. He had scratched his head for the entire day and the best plan he could come up with, was cutting himself in half.

The system finally spoke after being silent for half a day saying, "I think you should talk to Feng Yu about that. That man is hiding something... He has a solution that is why he's been hiding from Feng Zi."

Wen Qinxi nodded his head in agreement. Feng Yu was the mad scientist who came up with the method of using the crystal to maintain the earth's atmosphere so how can he not know of a method to get it out of Feng Zi's body. "You're right. I will go see him now.... oh, by the way, have those two idiots figured out how to restore communication channels?" he asked before exiting the room to look for Feng Yu.

'Nope, they are not you, boss so how could they figure it out so easily,' said the system buttering up Wen Qinxi as though seeking leniency for ditching its creator. Who could blame it when it's boss's boyfriend was terrifying?

Wen Qinxi couldn't help but chuckle at its words. This system knew how to flatter people when it needed to. 'You have learnt to flatter people now? Good..... you will need it when you are a smart toilet AI,' replied Wen Qinxi walking down the corridor before entering Feng Yu's office.
