The Self-cultivation of Omega Running with the Ball
Chapter 108 Weakness
"At 19:48 on the same day, a man fell from a high floor of Junyin Building and died on the spot. According to insiders, the man was a drug addict who escaped from a drug rehabilitation center and was in a state of unconsciousness at the time of the incident. After preliminary investigation by the public security organs, the possibility of a criminal case has been ruled out. We will continue to report on the follow-up situation..."
A lone piece of news rolled over on the local TV station, but other than the fact that the crime occurred in a well-known real estate complex for wealthy people in the city, it did not cause any other discussion.
As for another case that will shock the whole country later, the news is still under blockade.
Pei Zhixuan died, killed by the wheels of his wife Cui Jinxiu.
However, many external factors made the trial of this intentional homicide case complicated and confusing. First, Cui Jinxiu had a long history of mental illness and was a person without civil capacity. Many evidences presented by her son showed that her illness was closely related to her husband's long-term affair and cold violence.
Secondly, before Cui Jinxiu drove the car to commit the crime, the deceased had held a □□ with the intention of murdering. Although subsequent investigations found that the bullets in the gun had long been replaced with blank bullets with extremely low lethality.
Finally, the brake system of this severely damaged Audi S8 had been damaged by someone, and all the evidence pointed directly to Pei Zhixuan's confidant.
Although the investigation will still require a complex and lengthy process, the situation is clear: Cui Jinxiu's risk of criminal punishment is very low.
After murdering her husband, Cui Jinxiu seemed surprisingly calm, and even frequently expressed that she was "relieved." Pei Du temporarily placed her in a mountain villa, accompanied by her psychologist and a trusted caregiver.
Everything went as he expected, in an orderly and precise manner - that's how it should be.
When dealing with these complicated matters, Pei Du always thought of Grandpa Pei and the education he received when he was still ignorant.
"Pei Du, I'm very disappointed in you." Old Master Pei turned his back to him and tended to the flowers and plants in the yard. He said, "That bastard bullied you secretly, so you pushed him down the stairs. In the end, you were the one who suffered and you were the one who was punished."
"You must learn to plan before you act, and think three steps ahead before you take one step." Mr. Pei stood with his hands behind his back, his white hair dyed red by the setting sun. "Pei Du, in our position, you must not make any mistakes."
Because of one careless move, the whole game is lost - being blinded by a series of trivial victories, you lose the thing you want most.

Wen Qiu was taken back to Li Tianchang's home, which was a small single apartment that was very tidy. In addition to the necessities for survival, there were also a lot of cat food and cat toys.
The calico female cat named Miaomiao rubbed against his legs in a coquettish manner as soon as she entered the door. Xiao Zhiliao had no idea what was going on and happily called to the kitten: "Mimi!"
Li Tianchang moved the bed and quilt to sleep on the sofa, leaving his bedroom empty. "You can rest here."
Wen Qiu sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, his hand accidentally touching the gauze box and disinfectant on the bedside table, and he suddenly realized why he was willing to come back with him - he had the same scars as himself.
Soon, Li Tianchang made a cup of hot tea and brought it to him. The cat followed him closely, and the little cicada followed the cat on tiptoe.
Wen Qiu took the teacup and looked at the back of his neck where the scar had not yet healed. "Does the wound still hurt?"
"It's okay, it's just a small operation." Li Tianchang sat next to him, and the cat jumped up and crawled into his arms. "It doesn't hurt as much as when you get beaten in the boxing ring."
"Is that so..." Xiao Zhiliao also jumped, but he didn't jump up. Wen Qiu bent down and held him on his knees, "What do you think...how about I remove the gland too?"
He was not angry, but was thinking about it seriously. Why should he always carry this mark and be influenced by Pei Du forever? He would rather have the gland removed completely.
Li Tianchang frowned and said to him seriously: "I can't help it, but you are different. It's their fault. Don't hurt yourself."
Wen Qiu bit his lower lip and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly he asked, "Do you like An Yunqi?"
"I liked it."
"What were you thinking when he asked you to remove the gland?" Wen Qiu looked up at him. He didn't understand why Li Tianchang could be so calm and numb.
"He is just that kind of person. I didn't expect much from him."
"So what do you like about him?"
"He has something to love, too."
Wen Qiu sighed, "It's very hidden."
"When I was invincible in the ring, he admired me like everyone else, but I didn't care about him at that time. Later, I owed a lot of money from gambling and no one looked up to me, but in his eyes I was still the same as before." Li Tianchang said, "He is a very self-centered person. Once he makes up his mind, he will not change. So when I was at my lowest point, he was the only one who reached out and helped me."
Wen Qiu listened to him quietly for a long time, and suddenly realized that Li Tianchang was comforting him in his own way. He was saying that some people just appeared at the right time, so it was not your fault to fall in love with him.
After finishing speaking, Li Tianchang looked at him quietly: "What about you? Do you like Pei Du?"
At this point, Wen Qiu couldn't say anything to deceive himself, so he felt even more sad. "I like him very much, very much..."
Wen Qiu lowered his head and saw the promise ring on the ring finger of his right hand, and then the engagement ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
He smiled silently: "But he betrayed me who liked him so much, what do you think I should do?"

In the past few days, Wen Qiu has been eating, drinking and sleeping. He obviously didn't suffer any substantial injuries, but his body needed rest so much that he could sleep for 16 hours a day. This surprised Xiao Zhile, who said that his father was hibernating like a big bear!
Pei Du called, but Wen Qiu hung up. After greeting everyone he should have, he turned off his phone. Except for sometimes waking up in the middle of the night from nightmares and sometimes not being able to control his tears, he seemed to be getting better day by day. When he had nothing to do, he would clean the house over and over again, polishing the tile floor of Li Tianchang's house until it was shiny, and the cat almost did a split while doing parkour in the middle of the night.
About three or four days later, Pei Du finally came to the door. His knock on the door was always so polite and restrained, and very recognizable. Wen Qiu immediately shuddered.
Fortunately, Li Tianchang was at home. He looked at him inquiringly, and Wen Qiu immediately shook his head.
So Li Tianchang went to open the door. He was standing in front of the door, facing the imposing and extremely superior ALPHA, his employer and benefactor. But he still did not give in, just frowned and said: "Boss Pei, Wen Qiu doesn't want to see you."
Pei Du looked past Li Tianchang and peeked into the house, but saw nothing. He looked a little tired: "Is Wen Qiu okay?" "He's not well. He has fallen asleep and the child is asleep too." Li Tianchang answered in a serious tone.
"Just let me in and say one word." Pei Du looked into his eyes. "Please ask Tian Chang for me. This is my request."
This high-ranking man now said the word "request", and Li Tianchang had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I'll ask for you."
After that, he closed the door, and the bang made Pei Du's heart flutter. Soon Li Tianchang opened the door again and shook his head at him: "Wen Qiu said he didn't want to see you."
"Boss Pei, please go first," he thought for a moment and added in a low voice, "He's still not in a good mood."
"It's okay, I can wait." Pei Du stood in the simple corridor and looked at him deeply, "Wait until he feels it's possible."
He said he would wait, and Li Tianchang did not show any remorse, but nodded and closed the door. He had stored all kinds of survival supplies at home, enough to support him for a month without leaving home.
Pei Du had great patience and waited for the whole night. Like the most persistent believer beside the sighing wall, he stared at the silent wall and door without moving.
The next morning, An Yun got up and was startled as he climbed up the stairs. The loving breakfast in his hand almost flew away.
"Why are you here?!" he asked incredulously, "Didn't something big happen to the Pei family?"
Pei Du didn't even look at him, his expression was cold and stern, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Wen Qiu is here?" An Yunqi had a good ability of reasoning. After he figured out the reason, he put on a sly smile, "Your evil deeds are finally exposed?"
Pei Du put his hands in his pockets, stared at the closed door with a gloomy look, and said only two words: "Shut up."
Ha, that was the right guess. How come his friend who was always at ease looked a little frustrated? An Yunqi touched his chin, "How about I switch shifts with you? I'm also waiting for Li Tianchang. I heard that he's taken a leave of absence from work recently. I don't know what time he'll be leaving the house."
As he said that, he smoothed his handsome hair, carried the loving breakfast and went to knock on the door.
Pei Du witnessed his hopeless act of giving himself up and suddenly hooked his finger at him. An Yunqi leaned over with confusion and listened to his explanation.
"Oh my god, you are still so cunning!" An Yunqi couldn't help but admire him. After making preparations, he went forward and knocked on the door.
Li Tianchang thought it was Pei Du, so he opened the door without any precautions, only to see a creature dressed brightly and beautifully, exuding male hormones, squatting at his door, holding a fragrant sausage in his hand, and shouting: "Mimi..."
He was stunned by the scene, but saw a shadow behind him. His greedy cat had already rushed out and headed straight for the ham sausage. An Yunqi grabbed the cat's belly with a lightning speed, put it under his armpit, and rushed downstairs, saying as he ran: "Li Tianchang, let's talk!"
"Come back here!" Li Tianchang's forehead veins jumped, he clenched his fist as big as a casserole, and immediately chased after him to end his life.
Before his afterimage disappeared, a small figure ran out, waving his hands and shouting, "The kitten, the kitten ran away!"
As soon as Xiao Zhiliao ran out of the door, he suddenly ran into a tall wall of people. He looked up stupidly and saw the kind Uncle Pei. He couldn't help but grin and said, "Pei Susu!"
Pei Du bent down and picked him up, then looked forward and saw Wen Qiu standing inside the door, staring at him.
OMEGA's face was full of disgust, and his eyes, washed by tears, were cold, but he seemed to be in much better condition than in the past few days, and was in a state where he could "talk".
"You want to talk to me?" Wen Qiu said with a sigh, "Why bother playing tricks? Just say it now."
"Come home with me." Pei Du gently stroked the child's black hair, but what he said was infuriating, "This child's pheromone deficiency will take another month to heal."
Wen Qiu crossed his arms and asked with a sneer, "You're threatening me with a child?"
He once worked so hard to earn money, even if he didn't have enough food to eat, he would still buy pheromone supplements. He once asked An Yunqi for pheromones without telling Pei Du, feeling so guilty that he was almost going crazy, all for the sake of this child's illness... Now, the real antidote is standing in front of him, using it as a bargaining chip to make him go home.
Damn it, he didn't even think of it, Pei Du still had this trick up his sleeve! Was this also something he had planned long ago?
"This is not a threat," Pei Du explained, "Even though I didn't tell you the truth over the past few months, I never stopped treating him."
"Then guess why he got this disease?" Wen Qiu retorted, "Oh, by the way, of course you don't care. You didn't want this child in the first place. For Master Pei, something bought with five million can be thrown away at will..."
"No, I didn't know about you and the child at the beginning. My mother made the decision on her own." Pei Du said quickly, "I found out about it later, but it was too late. The reason I asked you to have an abortion was just because I didn't want to..."
I don't want to get entangled with an OMEGA that I have nothing to do with, I don't want to let a life that I can't be responsible for be born into the world, and I don't want this child to have a doomed life. However, this matter has already happened due to various coincidences, and it would be too cruel to tell Wen Qiu about this.
He closed his mouth tightly, and Wen Qiu looked at him with red eyes, as if his anger would explode if he said one more word.
Little Zhiliao noticed the strange atmosphere between the two and struggled in Pei Du's arms, wanting to return to Wen Qiu.
Pei Du kissed his soft cheek and put him down. Little Zhiliao immediately threw himself into Wen Qiu's arms and comforted him clumsily, "Dad..."
The child trembled in his arms, frightened by the tense atmosphere. Wen Qiu took a deep breath and picked up Xiao Zhiliao. No matter how angry he was with Pei Du, he could not ignore the child's illness. Pei Du had grasped his deepest weakness.
"You win. I will stay here for the time being. You must cure Xiao Zhiliao's illness." Wen Qiu walked out holding the child, without even glancing at Pei Du as he passed by.
“But you won’t win forever.”
