Chapter 1279 - Alarmed! 3
He understood Mu Yuchen without even needing an explanation.
Since he thought it was suspicious, Qi Feng, Gu Qiwu, and Doris might have some clues on each of them. Therefore, in order for things to be easier in the future, Mu Yuchen investigated all three of them.
Su Chen seemed impressed. “Wow! As expected of a businessman, cunning and thorough! Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha must really be regretting what they planned! You must be the reincarnation of a famous strategist from ancient times or perhaps a wise king.”
Mu Yuchen did not seem to be proud of himself. His reaction was pretty weak. “I’m just lucky. If I didn’t receive news from Qi Lei and Xi Xinyi, we’d be the ones stuck right now.”
Su Chen nodded in agreement. “You’re right. Things could have gotten really ugly. They were targeting Xiaye when you weren’t in City Z. These people really give you a run for your money.”
Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened for a moment. “If we find out that Lingtian…”
Su Chen spoke up when Mu Yuchen went quiet. Unlike the cheerful tone he used before, he sounded bitter. “If that’s the case, all the pain you had to bear all these years, I…”
“I just hope that we can find out the truth. That will be the best gift for Lingtian. We’re brothers, after all, and staying alive is better than being dead. I suppose I’m not a good enough brother to him. It’s unavoidable.”
Although Mu Yuchen still defended Mu Lingtian, Su Chen understood him too well.
“You’re a great brother, Ah Chen.” He was not sure how else he could comfort Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen turned around and watched the scenery outside the window as his back faced Su Chen.
“Maybe Lingtian has always been introverted since he was a child. If only I cared more for him, perhaps there wouldn’t be a gap between us.”
Mu Yuchen was suddenly reminded of his woman at home, as well as Mu Zirui and Mu Zicheng…
He would never let his children take the same path.
“Zimo and I probably have to re-evaluate ourselves if you say that. To be honest, we weren’t really fond of hanging out with Lingtian when we were younger. We were straightforward back then. We didn’t force ourselves to like people we don’t. Now that I think about it, that was pretty mean of us,” Su Chen confessed.
Mu Yuchen stayed silent for a moment. “What a rare sight to see you blaming yourself. Just forget about it now. You should head back tonight. Zimo and I can be at ease because we know you’re looking after things over there. Plus, I’ll be leaving New York soon and I’ll leave the rest to Ah Bo and Zimo.”
Su Chen nodded. “If you say so then. Don’t worry. I’ll be able to find out who the spy was. That’s probably the case, or else, Doris wouldn’t be so confident. She’s not getting anything from the Hui Gu Corporation at all. What did she do to make the people work for her then?” He was pretty confused about that.
Mu Yuchen grinned coldly as he glanced at his own faint reflection on the window surface. “Su Chen, don’t underestimate Doris. She’s a powerful individual on her own. Moreover, she’s been getting a lot of dividends from Hui Gu in the past years. Gu Qiwu is smart. He gave her the dividends from his personal account. That’s also part of the reason why she lost the case.”
Su Chen suddenly started laughing. “It’s really funny that Doris actually lost. I was actually impressed by Gu Qiwu’s determination as a man. Who would’ve known that he’d created a trap for her to step in from the very beginning?”
“Speaking of which, Ah Chen, would you be willing to sacrifice for Xi Xiaye?” Su Chen asked Mu Yuchen, but Ji Zitong’s face appeared in his mind instead.
“Xiaye? Glory World?” Mu Yuchen said.
“Mmm, Glory World…are you willing to give it to Xi Xiaye?”
“Do you think Glory World is all I have? You don’t really care about your mother’s company either, do you?” Mu Yuchen turned around and asked him.
Su Chen shrugged.
“Well, why would I be so stingy towards my woman?”
“True! We’re truly brothers after all.” Su Chen laughed and Mu Yuchen smiled too…
…
On a beautiful, sunny afternoon, the blue sky seemed vast.
A black car was on its way to the police station.
Qi Feng sat in the back passenger seat quietly, his expression seeming strained.
“Master, we’re arriving soon,” Morrison turned around and informed him.
Qi Feng looked up and glanced in front. He quickly noticed the police sign and the colorful flags.
“Be wary of the surroundings. The news hasn’t been leaked, has it?” Qi Feng asked.
“Don’t worry, Master, no one knows yet. We’ll head home right away once Missus is released,” Morrison replied before adding, “Master, Doris is really something. She actually managed to get her out! I was pretty doubtful when I first asked her…”
