Chapter 380 - There's something more

Rong Xiang trembled when the temperature in the room suddenly dropped. He gulped several times to soothe the parched throat.

He made a grave mistake by blurting out about murder in front of Xiu Mei. Already she's troubled because of the article and the worst thing now she knows that a murder has happened on the premises.

I'm so dead….

Boss will kill me for scaring the lady boss….

"Who?" Feng Junjie asked.

Rong Xiang was soaked in sweat, his senses were glued to Xiu Mei waiting for her reaction as he ignored what Junjie said. After all, Feng Jianyu's behavior depended on Xiu Mei.

However, he realized that Xiu Mei's reaction was nothing that he expected. She was calm, like a soul at rest but isn't this calm before a storm? Why understanding her gaze was impossible?

"XIANG, I asked you something. Who? Where?" Feng Junjie repeated.

"A security guard. We don't know his name yet as his ID is missing, but it looks like he caught the offender red-handed but the later stabbed him to death and dumped the body in the chamber." Rong Xiang replied. He felt bad for the man who lost his life for Feng Corporation.

Although Feng Corporation will take care of his family as he died on duty, they can't replace a human life.

The silence was deafening.

Feng Jianyu's eyes became increasingly gloomy, he was lost in thought. How can a person stoop so low to kill an innocent man for his personal motive? What king of sick mentality was this?

"AHH!"

Xiu Mei let out a yelp when Feng Jianyu spilled the water on Xiu Mei's clothes unknowingly. He looked at her stunned and promptly pulled out the tissue to help her, "Sorry. My attention was diverted. Are you okay?"

"It's okay. It's just water" stopping him, she gave an assured look and he sighed, "I'm not talking about this."

She felt trapped by his deep gaze but quickly replied, "I'm fine."

Although she said that, she felt betrayed by her own words. How can she be fine? Upon hearing that an innocent life was sacrificed her heart was poked with a thousand needles.

However, being with Lu Xion for a long time she has seen countless murders and even killed people with her own hands that she became immune to this. But even today her heart can't stop falling apart when an innocent life is claimed.

Feng Jianyu touched her head.                                      

"You'll catch a cold. Spare clothes are in the lounge." He saw her nod before leaving the room and brought his attention back to Rong Xiang.

"Inform the cops." Feng Jianyu turned to look at Junjie who instantly got up and said, "I'll follow this. You look over on-going matter."

'BEEP'

Feng Junjie was about to leave the office when the computer beeped indicating the scan was complete.

Feng Jianyu's eyes flickered on seeing the ID, user name and the computer used.

[ID-XXXXXXX]

[Username- Dingxiong Feng]

[Computer- CHX00FD]

X series computer? There are only four X series computer in the company, he, his father, Junjie and Wang Shi. Isn't this the computer that was in the Chairman's office?

Feng Jianyu's expression turned complex when he saw this.

"Don't overthink. It's not Mr. Feng." Xiu Mei returned back after the change of clothes and stated clearly, without a hint of hesitation and doubt. She instinctively placed her hand on Jianyu's shoulder, "Mr. Feng is not a dumb man who'll leave such an obvious and easy clue for us."

Xiu Mei just glanced at Junjie for a mini second and he immediately left with Rong Xiang to check the crime scene.

Feng Dingxiong doesn't lack resources, if he was to do something like this he would never do this inside Feng Corporation especially using his own ID and computer, as according to Xiu Mei's extraordinary computer skills it wouldn't take her more than an hour or two to track everything back to him.

Why would he want himself to be found out?

Moreover, if he had to release the information about the diamond in public, he would had never send Feng Jianyu at her home and had released the information immediately when he met her again a year back while chasing after R-Tech's president for three years.

And the most important point, no smart businessman would take an irrational decision where he will be forced to share the loss. It's no secret that their companies have signed a multibillion dollar deal which by the way exceeds the value of the diamond to a big margin. With the profits of this deal, they could buy ten such diamonds every year.  Why would he ignore the billions of profits and spread such a rumor?

The present Xiu Mei holds the power to pay thrice the price of the diamond in just a blink of an eye.

"I know it's not father's work"

Xiu Mei blinked several times when she heard Feng Jianyu whose thought match with her. He knows his father's capabilities; he can't do something this obvious.

"I won't lie, when the news was released I thought it was really him, he did it to denigrate you come back to me. But looking at how things have turned this is not him."

"Jianyu, there's something more." He saw her pointing her hand at the couch as she took a seat. He followed the cue.

"I know." He chuckled when she raised her brows and moved in to close the gap between them. "You're thinking this was all arranged by someone to bring you here."

She was not surprised that he understood this.

Xiu Mei's capabilities was not a secret, everyone knows that her skills in computer and mechanical science are unparalleled. She'd easily track everything no matter whichever place they chose then why put so much effort to break Feng Corporation's security?... Just to publish the article? Above all use Feng Dingxiong's ID and computer? Why make things so obvious and not hide their marks?

If the culprit's motive was to frame Feng Dingxiong than in reality he ruined his plan by doing so.

Are yang's really that dumb or was it they came up with something extraordinary that even she and Feng Jianyu failed to understand.
