Chapter 934 - Counter Every Move (3)
“Master’s right. After your analysis, if anything bad happens to Qi Qiming, he will very likely use this opportunity to take lead. At the same time, he needs to make Qi Lei suffer serious damage. That way, no one can waver his position in Qi Kai,” Li Si, who had not said anything, spoke up worriedly too.
“It looks like Qi Lei’s not in a great position, Bro. Shall I rush to City B tonight?” Ah Mo gripped the document in hand and asked.
Mu Yuchen propped his head up with one hand, then sighed. “Yes, you must go right away. You have to settle this matter properly. Make sure CEO Li and that other partner protect Qi Lei. If there are any losses, I’ll bear the burden, so they should feel assured.”
“Yes, I got it, Brother!”
He thought about it before adding on, “Also, you must keep this thing top secret. Even Qi Lei himself can’t know. If anything, I’ll tell him myself, got it?”
Ah Mo nodded in response.
“I’ve prepared the private plane for you. Get Li Si to send you over later,” Mu Yuchen said as he picked up his phone from beside him to take a look at the time and continued, “How are things on Lingshi’s end? It’s been quite a few days now. Has she calmed down?”
Knowing that her relationship with Gu Qiwu was undoubtedly a huge hit to Mu Lingshi, although Mu Yuchen did not call Mu Lingshi all this time, he had no doubt that she needed to calm down alone and do her best to accept the facts as soon as possible.
When Mu Lingshi was mentioned, helplessness and concern could not help but flash in Ah Mo’s eyes as he sighed. “She’s still the same. She can’t quite accept it. When she got home, she didn’t say anything. She just stays home alone in a daze. I’m worried about her, so I called Mother who has been going over to be with her these past few days.”
Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen lowered his eyes sadly. He thought about it, then responded, “Because it happened so suddenly, you must rush over to City B, and you’ll probably have to stay there for a few days. How about this? I’ll called Mother later and tell her to stay at your place for the next few days. Coincidentally, Mother’s studied psychology before this, so being with Lingshi more should help her.”
“Alright, thank you, Brother. I’ll call Lingshi later and let her know,” Ah Mo responded solemnly.
“How about me, Master? What else can I do?” Li Si asked worriedly.
“You pay attention to how things are on Qi Kai’s end for now. Also, give Xi Xinyi a stern reminder. On Qi Lei’s end, if things pan out as our predictions, do your best to cooperate with Assistant Yang and see if they need anything.”
“Okay, Master!”
Ah Mo hesitated and finally could not help but raise his doubts, “Right, Brother, based on what you said, Qi Kai’s shares will definitely fall. Will Qi Feng take such a huge risk? After all, he wouldn’t want himself to get Qi Kai into crisis, will he?”
Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen just smiled calmly. His profound eyes flashed with an unfathomable cold light as he calmly responded, “You’ve asked a good question. Indeed, this is quite risky, but what if Qi Feng has something else up his sleeve and has a way for Qi Kai to recover?”
“What could that be?” Ah Mo frowned, and asked.
“I don’t know what it could be. In fact, everything we’re doing right now is just my preparation for the worst. I hope that I’m being too cautious about it all, and that I’m just overthinking. Otherwise, we’ll be crossing swords with Qi Feng!” Mu Yuchen said with a mysterious smile.
When he saw the smile on Mu Yuchen’s face, Ah Mo was relieved. As long as he saw this smile on his face, he felt more assured, so he then laughed, “Brother, we haven’t seen him, yet there seems to be traces of shots fired. I’d really like to see how capable Qi Feng can be!”
When Li Si heard Ah Mo, he could not help but spill all the gossip he heard from around, “Speaking of that, I’ve sourced information about Qi Feng before. I really do think this person is quite unfathomable, and he’s good at pretending. Many people in the circle admire him. They all say he’s an honorable son of the high society, humble and polite, friendly, and an elegant gentleman. Many women treat him like their Prince Charming. In fact, that face of his is quite mesmerizing!”
“Hehe, but as charming as he may be, he can’t compare to our Master!” Li Si added on.
Mu Yuchen just smiled calmly. “Alright, that’s him. I’m me. We haven’t met for a few years now. In fact, with such a deep grudge between us, I have a feeling that we’ll be meeting very soon.”
“But, Brother, you should be more vigilant. We can’t be sure that he won’t play any tricks again. I’ve already found Lingshi a personal bodyguard who’ll be on duty tomorrow onwards. The people that Gu Qiwu has hired are still in hiding,” Ah Mo explained Mu Lingshi’s situation clearly as well.
“Mmm, got it. Let Li Si arrange things if there’s anything required. There’s no need to pack your things either. The people there will arrange everything. Go right away. Li Si, send him to the airport,” Mu Yuchen ordered in a deep voice.
“Yes!” The two of them answered at the same time, then rushed to leave the study room. Afterward, the sound of the car engine starting was heard.
Mu Yuchen stood at the window in his study room and watched as the car drove further away. After a long while, he turned around to leave the study room.
…
When he returned to his bedroom, Xi Xiaye was done showering and was lying in bed, flipping through some documents while their son, Mu Zicheng, lay beside her.
Xi Xiaye was clearly so focused on the document that she did not notice even when Mu Yuchen walked to the bedside. It was only when she felt the bed sink beside her, and the faint fragrance drifted into her nose that she looked over subconsciously.
Mu Yuchen reached out his long fingers and pinched Mu Xiaocheng’s cute little face. When he noticed the target before him, Mu Xiaocheng’s black gem-like eyes immediately widened. His two little chubby hands gripped onto Mu Yuchen’s hand before putting it into his mouth as he made a tiny gurgle. The gloom in Mu Yuchen’s heart vanished at the sight of this as loving warmth flashed all over his handsome face.
“Have Ah Mo and the rest left?” Xi Xiaye closed her document and set it aside on the table as she asked softly.
