Chapter 613 - HIDING THE TRUTH

The first feeling that filled Wang Che's heart after the exposure of the past was not fear for his people. He knew the danger that everyone would fall into if Zhong Feng decided to act on the information he had. However, this was only secondary in his mind.

At that moment, he was just filled with jealousy. 

Shun trusted Zhong Feng completely. He treated him wholeheartedly and without any reserve. Wang Che was sure that Shun would do anything for Zhong Feng. In fact, it could be said that Shun only moved and settled down in Supreme City because of Zhong Feng. 

For a period in the past, he believed the rumours that Shun had feelings for Zhong Feng. Although he came to realise that it was not true, he still felt like Zhong Feng would always have a better place in Shun's heart and mind. 

Even their meeting story was much better. 

Wang Che suppressed his petty dissatisfaction and focused on the most immediate problem. He needed to address the problem Zev had caused by fighting with Hu Lei before Zhong Feng acted out of anger. 

"Be careful of your words, lest they be misunderstood." Wang Che said stiffly. "That is in the past. The people I brought with me were forced into a corner during their childhood. They have embraced their second chance at life."

Zhong Feng did not respond immediately. 

Wang Che sighed. "The failings of my subordinates are my own. I will ensure they are more thoroughly trained to prevent the recurrence of another incident. I can only offer my deepest apologies to you and Hu Lei and ask for your understanding." 

Zhong Feng did not want to make things difficult for Wang Che because they could be considered friends, even though it was through Shun. However, he could not quell the anger when he thought about someone trying to kill Hu Lei. 

Hu Lei never took such things seriously, but that did not mean he would do the same. 

"You are correct. Your guards do lack training." Zhong Feng said. "I will send someone to provide complimentary training to them for the next two weeks. Consider this a token of our friendship." 

Wang Che pressed his lips together in controlled annoyance because he could not shun responsibility for what happened to Hu Lei. Moreover, he knew that Zhong Feng needed to vent his anger, or he might explode later and do something worse. 

He was not so stupid to assume that the so-called trainer was really a token of friendship. It was probably someone that Zhong Feng trusted would punish his guards on his behalf. But strictly speaking, it was a very gentle reaction on Zhong Feng's part, considering Zev's actions.

"Then, I will thank you." Wang Che said politely, suppressing the discomfort in his heart. In any case, his guards could use a wake-up call and learn that Supreme City was more dangerous and complex than they thought.

Zhong Feng did not pursue the matter further. Unlike in the past when he would meet opposition with extreme force, he was quite mellow after becoming a married man. If he could eat at the same table with Yuan Haoran, he found forgiving Wang Che much easier. 

"How is Shun doing?" Zhong Feng asked. 

Wang Che knew the matter of Zev's mistakes was mostly over, and he was glad to move on. "He is doing well." 

"Are there signs of memory recovery?" Zhong Feng's brows creased a little in concern. 

He was quite worried about Shun. He valued Shun greatly because the man always treated him wholeheartedly, even putting him on a pedestal. He was the only person Zhong Feng considered a true friend in Supreme City, apart from his wife. 

Even when they did not talk after Hu Lei disappeared, Zhong Feng always kept tabs on Shun. He was afraid that the naïve man might fall into a trap. It was also the reason Zhong Feng investigated Wang Che in case he had nefarious motives. 

Therefore, he constantly thought of Shun and hoped he would recover immediately.

"No." Wang Che replied. "The doctor said that the memories will probably come suddenly and all at once. If he finds the right trigger, he could recover it sooner. For now, there is nothing to do but wait." 

"Well, you should encourage him to go outside more often. He is hardly going to remember if he is always in the house. The trigger is most likely going to come from seeing familiar things." Zhong Feng said. 

Wang Che was silent for a moment, causing Zhong Feng to look at him with some suspicion. As a top businessman, he could read most people with ease. While Wang Che knew how to school his expression, Zhong Feng noticed the slight anomaly on his face right away. 

"Is there something you are hiding?" Zhong Feng asked. 

Wang Che weighed the situation in his mind before he nodded. "Let us talk in my study." 

The two men walked from the den, through the messy living room and to the study. Once they sat down, Wang Che told Zhong Feng the details of the accident that he had not shared with anyone, including the Furukawa family. 

"The car crash was not a pure accident." Wang Che said heavily. "Someone interfered with Shun's car and forced him to crash it. When I found Shun, he was still lucid. He told me that someone was trying to kill him. But he did not seem to know who it was." 

Zhong Feng was shocked by this piece of information. He never considered the possibility that someone had tried to kill Shun. After all, the road between the lower motor city and the Summit was quite treacherous. 

Most inexperienced drivers would find it difficult to handle. If someone tried to kill Shun by messing with the car, it was a very smart plot. No one would suspect anything because they would assume that Shun merely lost control.

If Shun did not crash with care and called Wang Che for help, he might have been just another statistic. No one would have discovered the nefarious plot brewing in the shadows. The thought chilled Zhong Feng to the core. 

Wang Che looked at Zhong Feng and realised his concern was real.

"That is not all." Wang Che added. "I was planning on getting my people to check the wrecked car for signs of foul play and find the culprit. But just as we were leaving the scene, someone launched a small missile at the car.. All the evidence was eliminated."
