Scheming, Retreating To Advance (6)

sure enough, as soon as qi qiming said this, a chill flickered in qi fengs black eyes while he looked down. when he lifted his eyes and stared at qi qiming again, calmness was restored. qi feng did not immediately answer qi qiming. the father and son looked at each other for a long time before he chuckled. it was not difficult to hear a little iciness in his hoarse voice. "since you know how my relationship is with xiao lei, father, then theres little point to ask. i dont deny that xiao lei may seem like a great threat to me from your perspective, but if you think this matter is related to me, then i have nothing to say. its just qi kai, isnt it? i never thought that i could really inherit it anyway. perhaps qi lei may be more qualified than me to take over." qi qiming suddenly felt uncomfortable, especially when he saw qi fengs dim expression. "all the unhappiness originated from this, whether it was wang qin or xiao lei. i know youre trying to be considerate about me and in order to compensate me, you gave me the position. im getting tired. i dont want to fight for it anymore. perhaps that is for the best. are you satisfied with that?" qi fengs tone was hoarse and low. however, qi qiming did not seem very pleased. "ah feng, i dont mean that. i know you wouldnt do such a thing, but its your negligence if something like this happens! its been almost three days. you shouldnt leave it like that even if youre dissatisfied with him. no matter what, i still owe him and his mother, wang qin. now that wang qin is gone, he" he halted his sentence halfway. "dont think too much about what has passed now. after all, youre just doing your best to compensate." qi feng took a deep breath and raised his head to look at qi qiming while his eyes were filled with faint worries that qi qiming had never seen before. "you should know about xiao leis temperament by now. maybe the quarrel we had back then had something to do with the current situation. morrisons investigation is similar to what you showed me. the mu family has reported it to the police given xiao leis current relationship with the mu family, especially mu yuchen and xi xiaye. however, i do think the incident this time is highly unusual." qi qiming relaxed a little, but after careful consideration, he felt that qi fengs words seemed to hold a deeper meaning. he lowered his voice and said, "do you mean that the mu family might be behind this? but mu lingmo has also gone missing!" qi qiming was not a fool. naturally, he did not think the matter was so simple. he squinted and looked at qi feng, but he suddenly changed the topic. "how are lingsha and you? and how has weiwei been doing recently?" he asked and glanced at qi feng. "why do i hear that the two of you have been getting a little tensed lately? i heard you two got into a fight on the day she was released from the police station. whats the matter?" qi feng paused before answering, "dont worry about it. ill deal with it. she suffered a lot during her time inside, so its normal." while he looked calm on the surface, he was not sure how much more patience he had left to offer her. gu lingsha was now different from before. deeply influenced by doris, she was becoming more and more suspicious of his relationship with xi xiaye and would often bring her up in their arguments for no apparent reason. qi feng never knew that a suspicious woman could be this annoying to deal with. "well, you have to put in some effort too. just look at my marriage with wang qin. to be honest, if it wasnt for what happened six years ago, i doubt the two of you would be together, especially when someone like doris is monitoring you. by the way, i heard that youve been pretty close to doris lately, havent you?" "its just because of sha sha and weiwei. i hope she can stop being biased and accept us." qi feng felt helpless when he said those words. "doris isnt an easy opponent to deal with. be careful of what shes planning. id suggest you keep a distance from her since shes gotten into such a mess with gu qiwu. besides, you have to keep an eye on whats happening to xiao lei too. send someone to investigate and make sure that hes safe! these people are outrageous. if i find out whos behind this, ill make sure they pay for it!" qi qiming sounded furious towards the end of his statement. qi feng nodded. "yes, father! ill make the arrangements right away." "go!" qi qiming waved his hand at qi feng who called morrison in. soon, he quietly wheeled him out. qi qiming looked at qi feng with a complicated gaze. he felt like he could not understand his son anymore. while he used to be considerate and observant of the overall situation, he seemed different now. he took a deep breath and tried to forget about it as he started cleaning up his desk. on the other hand, morrison wheeled qi feng back to his office. "master, did ceo qi suspect us?" morrison asked before handing qi feng a cup of coffee. qi feng took a sip and grinned coldly. "hes not a fool. its completely normal for him to have doubts. fortunately, hes just being suspicious. try to minimize contact with doris for the time being, and keep an eye on the mu familys movement. we might have a show to watch this time." morrison nodded. "understood! by the way, although i dont know how the situation is over in new york, i heard that su chen rushed over to city b yesterday. it seems like the mu family is getting impatient." "mu lingmo and qi lei are both mu yuchens people. of course, hell be impatient! itll be amazing if the two of them are eliminated. lets just wait and see what doris is going to do."
