Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After w.a.n.g Qin pa.s.sed away, Qi Feng could vaguely feel that Qi Qiming actually had cared about her.

What about Qi Feng’s mother then?

And Lu Xinlan?

And his many other lovers?

Right now, how did Gu Qiwu become involved?

As Qi Feng thought about this, his expression could help but become dazed. After a while, he opened the doc.u.ment and flipped through it. Then, his eyes gradually filled with a light of disbelief. In an instant, it turned into a mix of emotions…

“Master, with this in hand, we practically have Mu Yuchen and Gu Qiwu by their throats. I think neither of them will want this to get leaked out,” Morrison lowered his voice to continue.

While Qi Feng’s expression had become solemn, he thought about it, then closed the materials in his hands. “Why do you think that Gu Qiwu would be worried about these news leaking out? It’s only because of Doris, but I feel like she isn’t a fool either. She probably has some inkling about it. If we want to use these against them, it’s probably not very practical.”

“Master, what do you think we should do then?”

Qi Feng’s gaze darkened, then he waved to Morrison who quickly leaned close to listen.

Unbeknownst to them, Qi Lei had heard their conversation.

2Qi Lei was standing right behind the pillar near the corridor. Because they were too engrossed in the conversation, they did not realize he was there. Qi Lei decided to just hide behind the pillar and eavesdrop. He did not expect to find out about this!

Qi Lei’s expression instantly became solemn.

Qi Feng was up to his usual tricks! He was sure that he would not let go of this.

Although he could not hear what they were actually talking about, right then, Qi Lei suddenly felt a little sad. If there were really going to use this as a trigger, what would everything that Lingtian had done be counted as?

When he thought of this, Qi Lei suddenly felt a heaviness in his chest. His breaths became shallow before he turned around to leave!

He probably should tell Mu Yuchen about this. Otherwise, when the storm comes again, he would not be able to get through it in one piece!

He thought about this as he left in huge strides. When he pa.s.sed through the walkway in front of the door, the butler was surprised. Upon seeing how hurried he seemed, he asked in concern, “Second Master, did something happen? Why do you look so rushed?”

However, before the butler could finish, Qi Lei’s tall figure had already pa.s.sed by him and he continued walking ahead.

“Second Master, aren’t you staying for dinner?”

“Second Master…”

Before anyone else could finish their sentence, Qi Lei had already vanished out of the doorway.

“Where are you going in such a rush?”

Qi Lei had just rushed out when he saw Qi Qiming and the secretary about to go in.

He then slowed down and looked at Qi Qiming. His eyes were filled with mixed emotions, but he only answered calmly, “I have something urgent to address right away!” Then he took out his car keys, unlocked the car, and got in swiftly.

Qi Qiming’s expression darkened immediately.

The car drove out, and when it pa.s.sed Qi Qiming, Qi Lei said, “I’ll come again at night.” His voice floated in the air while the car sped past. In an instant, it vanished at the end of the road.

Qi Qiming was slightly bewildered. He thought about it for a while before picking up his steps to go in.

When Qi Lei drove out of the villa, he called Yang Sheng. By the time he returned to Grand Lake Villa, Yang Sheng was already standing by the door waiting for him.

“Let’s go in first!” Qi Lei said in a serious tone.

Yang Sheng nodded and went in with him. When he saw Qi Lei’s expression, he immediately felt tensed as he asked softly, “Master Qi, what happened that you needed me to rush over?”

“Get people to watch Morrison right away. If he does anything, stop him! Also, find the quickest way to find out about the once-famous female celebrity from decades ago, Mu Zi. Be as detailed as possible.”

“Morrison? Mu Zi?” Yang Sheng was puzzled by Qi Lei’s words. He could not help but ask, “Master Qi, did something happen?”

“Just do as I say. I don’t have time to explain it to you right now. Hurry!” Qi Lei said a little annoyedly.

Yang Sheng dared not respond after Qi Lei lashed out, so he quickly nodded and responded, “Got it, Master Qi! Oh, right, Master Qi, I do have some information on Miss Mu Zi with me right now. Before this, CEO w.a.n.g asked me to investigate her, so I still have a backup copy with me.”

“Quickly send it to me then. Less talk, alright?” Qi Lei turned to glare at Yang Sheng furiously, “Since when did you become so slow?! Don’t you have a sense of urgency?”

After Qi Lei snapped, Yang Sheng responded helplessly, “Master Qi, this is the first time I’m seeing you in such a hurry!”

Then, he picked up his briefcase and immediately took out a tablet and unlocked it before sending Qi Lei a doc.u.ment. After a while, he sent the details over.

“This is everything that CEO w.a.n.g asked me to gather before this, but it was all about Miss Mu Zi and CEO Qi,” Yang Sheng worked as he said.

“Mu Zi and the old man? Why was my mother investigating them?” Qi Lei could not help but be intrigued by this as he stared at Yang Sheng.

Frowning, Yang Sheng hesitated, and then said, “I’m not too sure either. There was just a time when CEO w.a.n.g seemed especially odd. In fact, she was very invested in the progress of the investigation. I think that perhaps she was suspecting that there was something between CEO Qi and Miss Mu Zi.”

What relationship did the old man and Mu Zi have?

When Yang Sheng said that, Qi Lei fell into deep thought and his eyes became a little glazed as if he was searching for some distant memory.

Mu Zi and Qi Qiming…

They had a pretty good relationship, and Qi Qiming cared a lot about Mu Zi too. Qi Lei remembered that Qi Qiming had even wanted Qi Feng to be Mu Zi’s G.o.dson. For some reason, later on, it did not happen. Back then, the Qi family and the Mu family were on quite decent terms, thus their proximity was not weird at all!

Could w.a.n.g Qin have thought there was something more to their relationship beyond friends or kinship?

The more Qi Lei thought about it, the more he found it hard to believe. “Alright, just get the things done. I’ll take a look at it myself,” he said after a while. Then, he took his phone, wanting to give Mu Yuchen a heads up.
