Su Chens tone sounded grim and hesitant. Gu Qiwu? Are you saying it was Gu Qiwus subordinate?
Qi Leis eyes darkened in disbelief. Thats impossible! Gu Qiwu never had any conflict with my mother before. Theres no need for him to go against her!
Thats exactly the concern. With the evidence now, we cant say for sure that Gu Qiwu is behind this. It might just be a coincidence. The problem is that the perpetrator fled abroad, so no one knows where he is now!
As a higher-up, Su Chen had bumped into someone following the case, so he had received some valuable information after a light probe.
Abroad? We cant get him just because he ran away abroad? Qi Lei asked.
Su Chen shook his head helplessly. Youll have to ask the police for that. However, I think the whole thing is not that simple, we might be able to find out something if we get ahold of that perpetrator.
Speaking of Gu Qiwu, I dont think he has an obvious motive. Could he have killed her so that either Qi Qiming or Qi Feng could take over Qi Kai? Knowing how selfish he is, I bet he wont bear the risk for them, will he? I doubt Qi Feng is of any importance to him! Hes disabled now, so he probably cant prove much value! Zhou Zimo expressed his thoughts straightforwardly.
Zimo has a point. I cant make sense of this whole thing at all. Its obvious that the perpetrator is trying to frame Ah Chen. We might be able to find something surprising if we find this guy! Su Chen squinted and looked into Mu Yuchens calm, cold eyes.
Qi Leis eyes darkened, then hespoke resentfully, Whoever that is, Ill never forgive him!
Wait until the police find evidence. This is just our speculation at the current stage. Mu Yuchen was surprised, but he knew very well what Mu Tangchuan was trying to do! He wanted to rat out the person behind this and eliminate that threat.
Ill try to get something out from Gu Qiwu if the chance ever arises. I have something to discuss with him as well. Mu Yuchen glanced at Qi Lei. You need to pick your pace up. I might not be able to help you if something happens on my end. Im just doing my best to delay it.
Dont worry. Everything is going well. Ill go to City B in a few days. Only the filming is left outstanding since weve signed the contract, so Ill be able to sneak away with this excuse. Ill still be able to stand my ground if you cant cover me then.
I wont interfere with your business and Ill leave it to you guys! I have no idea how it works after all. Su Chen shrugged helplessly. I do think you guys ought to be jealous of me. There are no tricks or schemes. I just sit at my office desk comfortably and do whatever I want.
You wouldnt have it easy if youre always dreaming to be at the top! Qi Lei said.
Su Chen, just keep an eye on the immigration. Tell me if you find anything. Besides, Qi Feng and Gu Lingshas wedding is coming soon, but their marriage has never been approved by Gu Lingshas mother, Doris. I suppose shell be coming here very soon. Lingshis matter cant be hidden any longer by then, so do what you can, Mu Yuchen reminded them.
Dont worry. We got it.
Su Chen and Zhou Zimo traded glances with each other. Qi Lei was a little confused but refrained from asking any questions.
Ill be keeping an eye on Qi Feng for you. While my position in the company is not too bad at the moment, Ive been restricted from being involved in a lot of projects, so I may not see him very often too. Ill just do my best, Qi Lei said.

They chatted as they drank, and only went home around 2 a.m.
Xi Xiaye had already fallen asleep when he arrived back in Maple Residence. Slightly tipsy, Mu Yuchen lay down on the bed the moment he got into the room.
Xi Xiaye could smell the strong alcohol stench even while she was asleep. The man was hugging her from behind and she could not move at all.
Why did you drink so much? Where have you been? Get up Xi Xiaye tried to push him away, but her effort was futile. As she was about to kick him off, he got on top of her and whispered beside her ear, Had a few drinks with Su Chen and the others. Im not drunk
His voice was getting softer and softer until she could only hear his snoring
She managed to get away from him in the end, and she quickly switched the bedside lamp on!
He did not even change out of his clothes. She could smell alcohol and barbeque smoke from him, but he was already sound asleep at the moment. With a sigh, she got out of bed to get him a warm towel and wipe his body after taking off his coat.
She was finally done after half an hour. It was already 4 a.m. and her sleepiness had totally gone away, so she cleaned up a little and was about to head to the study room, but before she could walk out, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her back onto the bed, embracing her once again.
Where are you going? He looked at her half-awake, his eyes seeming dissatisfied.
I just wanted to look through some documents, but now Xi Xiaye lowered her head and looked at her man. Alright, go to sleep. Ill leave it for tomorrow.
When I wake up, I want you to always be sleeping by my side. Do you hear that? His tone left her no room for negotiation, taking her by surprise.
