Ever since autumn arrived, the weather had turned really cold in City Z, especially since rainy days kept visiting, so the air was oddly humid.

From that day when Qi Qiming spoke with Qi Lei, Qi Lei stopped going to Qi Kai to work. He also stopped applying for leave from the HR Department.

Qi Lei expected Qi Qiming to be furious at him and fire him immediately. However, Qi Qiming just kept quiet.

Yang Sheng had no idea what happened, and no one else knew what happened that day apart from the two of them. Yang Sheng found it odd that Qi Lei stopped going to the company for several days without any reason, so he then went to take a look at Qi Lei, but what surprised him was that his house in Grand Lake Villa area was empty. When he called Qi Lei, he could not get through either.

It seemed like Qi Lei did not return home at all and had been missing for several days.

However, as cracks existed in nearly every wall in the world, Qi Feng found out about what happened between Qi Lei and Qi Qiming.

In Qi Feng's office in Qi Kai Corporation.

"Master, these are the information you wanted." A subordinate handed a folder to Qi Feng who seemed busy at the moment.

Qi Feng raised his head and his expression seemed strained. His face darkened the moment he looked through the documents. A dark glint flashed in his eyes as well!

Pa!

He threw the documents onto the table. Even his cup of coffee spilled from the impact, shocking his subordinate.

"Qi Lei! I've underestimated him! I've underestimated him indeed!" His tone was cold and angry to the point that his anger made his whole body shudder slightly.

"What is this? Explain to me!"

Qi Feng always felt something was not right. He noticed there was something wrong with Qi Lei, especially ever since he started to get involved in the company operations. His connections seemed even broader than Wang Qin's, and with someone like Mu Yuchen backing him up, as well as Qi Qiming's attitude towards him, all of these made him find it odd. That was why he hired someone to conduct a thorough investigation of Qi Lei, but he did not expect something like this to happen behind his back.

Qi Lei wanted to leave Qi Kai and take away almost half of its resources along with him and start anew?

If Qi Qiming just kept quiet, not only could Qi Lei rely on Mu Yuchen's power, but he could even use Qi Kai's name to set up his own new company!

However, if Qi Qiming exposed him, it would cause another huge ruckus, and Qi Kai would be the one that suffered!

How could he!?

With such a piece of news breaking at a time like this, Qi Feng never knew that his brother was capable of something like this!

"Master, CEO Qi went to visit Second Master in the evening two days ago and brought these things over. CEO Qi went in angrily, but Second Master left soon after that. Then, CEO Qi left with a defeated expression. From what I heard from the butler, Second Master forced CEO Qi to make a decision: he must either keep a neutral stance or just forget that Qi Lei was ever his son at all. He also said that he might consider forgiving CEO Qi if he hands Qi Kai over to him."

"Nonsense!" Qi Feng put on a cold grin. "He's just trying to provoke me."

While Qi Lei seemed like he did not care, he was feeling uneasy.

Qi Qiming was beginning to waver. His impression of Qi Lei had changed drastically, and he had been more and more considerate about the latter as well. Taking the case of Qi Lei's external transfer as an example, Qi Qiming would have agreed without any hesitation in the past, but it might not be the same right now!

All of this seemed to be linked to Wang Qin.

Her death…

It seemed like his plan had failed.

Qi Feng started having a headache, so he took a deep breath and asked, "Is Qi Lei still not at work today?"

"Nope, it has been many days since Second Master has been absent. The HR Department mentioned it, but CEO Qi just said Second Master isn't feeling well and might not come to work for a while, so there's no need for him to apply for leave as well."

Qi Feng's expression darkened and his head felt even heavier than before. He had put so much effort in just to barely stabilize Qi Kai's stock, and now this happened, thus he was feeling a little helpless.

"Master, Missus sent a message from the police station that she wants to see you, and she doesn't want to stay in there anymore…"

"I know. You don't have to tell me!"

Qi Feng was frustrated and helpless when Gu Lingsha's name was mentioned. He was really in a bind this time. There was no way he could get her out right now, and he could sense that this whole incident was not that simple. In fact, he was inclined to think that...

Mu Yuchen was behind all of this!

Qi Kai was in danger again while Qi Lei left with Glory World supporting him. He did not need to worry about anything at all!

'Mu Yuchen, just how far have you looked into this!?'

"Have you found out where Qi Lei is?" Qi Feng asked moments later.

"Not yet!"

"Trash! Useless trash!" Qi Feng was furious, and his angered expression was fearsome to his subordinate.

"Call Morrison right now and tell him to get back as soon as he settles things over there! Find Qi Lei quickly. It's time to have a good, long talk with him!" Qi Feng clenched his fists and commanded coldly.

His subordinate was terrified. "Yes, Master! I'll get it done right away!" He then quickly fled from the office.

Thud!

Qi Feng leaned back into his chair when he heard the sound of the door being closed. His eyes settled on the stack of documents before him.

"Great work, Mu Yuchen! I don't fear death, but are you sure that you don't too? I'll make you pay for this. You owe me too much! Each and every one of you thinks that you can use me like a chess piece, taking me as a fool? One day, all of you will feel my pain," he said those cold words as he pinched his legs. Despite feeling a sharp pain, he smiled.

Gu Qiwu, Doris, and even Gu Lingsha, all of them were just using him!

Otherwise, why would Gu Lingsha be in Qi Kai instead of Hui Gu?

Did everyone really think that he was an idiot?
