Qi Lei swiftly stood up and left the meeting room in huge strides. He was still as unruly as before, doing things as he pleased!

His cold figure quickly vanished out of the door. Qi Qiming’s gaze subconsciously dimmed, but in the end, he reined in his disappointment as he took a deep breath and said coldly, “Let’s resume the meeting.”

…

An hour later, after the meeting ended, in the backyard of the Qi residence.

“Master, we’ve miscalculated! Qi Lei’s project in City B was unexpectedly fruitful. In fact, even City B’s Li Corporation is taking part in it. I think there’s more to this. That foreign businessman isn’t a fool either. Why would he sign a contract with Qi Lei at such a time? He wouldn’t do this even if water got into his head, would he?” Morrison rushed over and said through gritted teeth.

“What did you say?” Qi Feng, who was holding his cup of coffee, stopped what he was doing and stared coldly at Morisson.

“I said, that we miscalculated. Somehow, Qi Lei managed to keep that project. Even if we want to go and look for that foreign businessman later on, we probably wouldn’t get anywhere!” Morrison answered a little solemnly.

Bam!

When he heard that, a gloom flashed across Qi Feng’s face. He immediately threw his coffee cup and shattered it to pieces. Boiling hot coffee spilled all over the floor, even splashing onto the back of Morrison’s hand. Instantly, he felt a burning pain.

Qi Feng’s expression was as cold as ice. His eyes instantly seemed like it was filled with malice while he turned to look at Morrison and asked coldly, “You guaranteed that there would be no errors. Is this your so-called foolproof plan? This pathetic thing? I’m afraid my father is seeing him in a different light now. Don’t you plan on giving me an explanation?”

Morrison’s face froze and he quickly lowered his head. “I’m sorry, Master. I had planned it very precisely. I don’t know what’s up with that businessman. He didn’t play by the rules. I’ll get someone to investigate. Also, CEO Qi might also be doing it for the sake of kinship, so when it comes to Qi Lei, it’s best not to…”

“Enough! You promised me results, but now? We’re suffering a double loss! Do you realize what a huge threat he is to me if we let him get back on his feet this time?” Qi Feng’s entire face was as dark as a city crumbling under dark clouds.

“I’m sorry, Master. I didn’t expect things to progress the way it did. This should’ve been foolproof!”

“Does it look very foolproof now? It has only made us fall into a more dangerous zone! Also, where did the Li Corporation come from? How are they involved?” Qi Feng said through gritted teeth.

“I suspect that it’s Mu Yuchen. I remember that Mu Yuchen and the Li Corporation have a pretty good relationship. Qi Lei’s now a chess piece to be used against you. It’s understandable that he would introduce CEO Li to Qi Lei. In fact, when it comes to s...o...b..z in City B, the Li Corporation and Qi Kai’s influence in City Z are on par!”

When Morrison finished, Qi Feng’s dark gaze instantly began to shift. After that, he held tightly onto the armrest on the side and said coldly, “That’s right. It’s probably him! It must be! I just know that he wouldn’t be able to hold back after seeing something happen to his woman. He was probably waiting for this day to come.”

“Don’t panic, Master. This time, it was our neglect. Thankfully, we still have the marriage.”

“I underestimated him! The fact that my father left the hospital early to hold down the fort at the office already wavered our position, and with those scandals dying down, the City B project wasn’t affected by this incident. For Qi Kai to recover wouldn’t be a hard task. The marriage between the Qis and the Gus wouldn’t have a huge effect since it didn’t achieve our intended effect. But right now, this is the only way we can take.”

Qi Feng could not help but feel a headache. He had spent so much effort, yet he did not take Qi Lei down. Instead, he let him get a step ahead of him. They were forced to suffer in silence. Otherwise, any odd moves would cause Qi Qiming to be suspicious, especially recently when he could not quite guess Qi Qiming’s thoughts. Initially, with the way he was, he would logically just let him take charge before he returned since he had already paved this path for him. He knew that if he could use this crisis to let him build credibility in Qi Kai, then when the company was handed to him, he would be able to manage the company better, but now…

Things had gone a different way…

He thought about it for a while before a.n.a.lyzing, “I think, my father and Qi Lei must have had some kind of agreement. Otherwise, based on my understanding of both of them, there is no reason to forgive and forget.”

Morrison thought about it, then responded, “Okay, I’ll get them to hurry up with the investigations. Right, Master, about the wedding, it’s time to prepare soon. I’ve heard from CEO Qi’s secretary that CEO Qi’s probably going to be meeting up with Gu Qiwu soon. I’m sure it’s about the marriage. Also, for Miss Lingsha’s end..”

“I know what to do,” Qi Feng’s eyes shifted as he answered this with a raspy voice. Hesitating for a while, he then continued, “Has Gu Qiwu been staying put in City Z all this while?”

“No, he’s been staying in the manor in the suburbs. Master, I have the feeling that something’s up with Gu Qiwu. I heard that there was a time before this when he got his subordinate, Ah Yong, to transfer some skilled people over. Do you think he’s going to make a move?”

Morrison was keen on observations. In fact, he was like Qi Feng. He schemed a lot and never relaxed watching Gu Qiwu’s every move.

Upon hearing that, Qi Feng was stunned. “Have you see him acting any differently recently?”

Morrison frowned as he thought about it. “There was nothing unusual, but I heard that he went to Imperial Sky Entertainment City alone quite a few times. He was always alone and didn’t bring any subordinates at all.”

“Was he there to look for someone?”

“No, he just goes to have a few drinks before leaving. That’s why O keeps feeling like something’s weird, but I don’t know. Maybe I’m thinking too much,” Morrison said softly.

Qi Feng’s eyes dimmed as the two of them exchanged a look. Then, Qi Feng said, “Don’t think too much about it first. It’s actually quite easy to find out the answer. Just get someone to watch Gu Qiwu. See what he’s trying to do. He’s been staying in City Z, yet he hasn’t made a move. I don’t think he’s just here for South River Project No. 2!”
