Xi Xiaye went to the Emperor Hotel with Lan Zilang. She also had four bodyguards with her.
There were several guards outside the door when they arrived at the designated room.
Morrison knocked on the door. Then, he turned towards Xi Xiaye after hearing a reply from inside. “CEO Xi, Mr. Lan, welcome.”
Xi Xiaye and Lan Zilang traded glances at each other and nodded before heading inside.
“CEO Xi!” Zhang Lan was the first to greet her.
Xi Xiaye nodded to her, and Qi Feng smiled at her as well.
“Long time no see, Ms. Xi!”
Xi Xiaye glanced at him for a moment and quickly went past him. “CEO Qi of Qi Kai isn’t very fond of talking business over a dining table. You sure are different from him.”
Qi Feng just smiled, but Gu Lingsha’s expression changed after hearing those words from Xi Xiaye. However, Qi Feng glared at her as she was about to retort something.
“I took over some of Qi Feng’s tasks, so it’d only make sense if I built a good relationship with my collaborators, wouldn’t it?” Qi Lei was welcoming.
1Gu Lingsha was on alert this whole time as she stared at Xi Xiaye. She was looking back and forth between Qi Feng and Xi Xiaye, trying to figure out something from their conversation.
1Xi Xiaye sat down while Lan Zilang sat in between her and Zhang Lan.
At the same time, on the road to the busy city, Su Chen was driving his car with Secretary He in the front passenger seat.
As the car passed by a busy junction, Su Chen’s phone started ringing. He took a glance at the screen and quickly picked up the call.
“Ah Chen?” Su Chen’s voice went through the call.
“I know you just got back today. Zimo and I are having some trouble in New York at the moment, and it’ll take some time before we can get back. Qi Feng has invited Xiaye for dinner tonight. Please go and take a look.” Mu Yuchen’s voice reached his ears.
1Su Chen frowned. “What did you say? Zimo and you are both in New York? What happened? You don’t sound right!”
“Chief Su, I just had a talk with Xu Yayan. It seems like there’s something wrong with Master Mo’s company and he’s been injured as well. There’s also a high chance that he might get jailed,” Secretary He told him quietly while Su Chen was on the phone.
Su Chen frowned again as he looked over at Secretary He. He parked his car by the roadside.
Mu Yuchen spoke again after a while, “It’s fine. Zimo is only slightly injured and he’s already regained consciousness though his family still has no idea what happened, so don’t let them know. I’ll do my best to solve the problem here.”
Mu Yuchen and Zhou Zimo did not want Su Chen to get involved, or else, he would have known about their plan already.
“Solve the problem? Nonsense! What exactly happened? I need you to tell me now. Where’s Zimo? Did that b*stard get into trouble again? Ah Chen, both of you are acting very foolish right now. Have you forgotten how military school taught us that greater strength can be achieved by being united? Two brains are better than one…” Su Chen instantly scolded Mu Yuchen and Zhou Zimo. Now that he thought about it, Zhou Zimo’s suspicious behavior and avoidant speech made sense now.
“Please look after Xiaye for me. Room 108 of the Emperor Hotel. I’ll tell you about the rest after this. I need to go out right now. Talk to you soon.” Mu Yuchen hung up on the call right after that.
Su Chen’s frown never faded away. He tried to call back again, but it did not connect.
“B*stard! Is my function to look after your woman now?” Su Chen sounded angry.
1“Chief Su…” Secretary He called out to him quietly.
Su Chen started the engine and drove towards the opposite side of the road while dialing Ji Zitong’s number at the same time.
Ji Zitong was preparing dinner at home when she received Su Chen’s call.
“Hello? Where are you now?” Ji Zitong was mixing some sauce inside the kitchen.
“I might be home late. You should have dinner without me first.”
“Didn’t you promise to come back for dinner? I made a lot of dishes.”
“Keep it for now then. I’ll explain to you tonight.”
Su Chen did not want to explain too much right now, so he hung up after a short conversation. He sped up and headed towards the Emperor Hotel.
“Chief Su, the thing between Gu Qiwu and Doris has been getting more and more attention lately. Qi Feng’s sudden invitation must have some other intentions. Second Master Qi, Qi Lei, initially handled the South River project was initially handled. Both Qi Lei and Qi Feng aren’t exactly friends…”
“I never liked Qi Feng anyway. I wouldn’t give him an easy time even if Ah Chen told me not to. It’s time for him to taste some payback!” Su Chen was pretty emotional as he hated Qi Feng ever since Lingtian’s incident! If he noticed something wrong this time, he would surely deal with him!
“Chief Su, Qi Feng seems to be close to several government personnel…We might be able to track him.”
“There are already people keeping an eye on him.”
Su Chen sped up the car quietly.
Mu Yuchen suspected there might be hidden details behind the accident and Mu Tangchuan was involved in the follow-up as well. Su Chen had a hunch that the results might be surprising…
