Chapter 951: I Was Wrong
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wen Yi felt his strength leave him and collapsed to the ground, coughing violently. He was taken aback.
Seeing that Leng Jinpeng did not speak up for him, Wen Yi quickly calmed down and explained, “Commander-in-chief, I’ve been with Young Master for five years. You’re most familiar with me. I’m loyal to Young Master, why would I harm him?”
Leng Jinpeng stared coldly at Wen Yi, his heart burning with rage.
He adopted a son, but eventually, the adopted son tried to kill his own son.
He took in a butler, but eventually, the butler tried to kill his own son.
Leng Jinpeng would never tolerate anyone who wanted Leng Qirui’s life.
“We’ll know whether you’re truly loyal after an investigation. Loyalty or otherwise, it’s not up to you to decide.”
Personally, Zhong Nuannuan had never liked Wen Yi. She was convinced that he had always been the one who instigated Leng Qirui’s bad temper.
Wen Yi was afraid that he would be exposed if they conducted any investigation, so he quickly said, “Commander-in-chief, this really has nothing to do with me. I swear! Actually, I know whose fault this is and who’s involved.”
Wen Yi had already found out Selina and Zhong Nuannuan’s true ident.i.ties and skills.
He could not afford to mess with either of them.
Therefore, to prevent them from investigating further, Wen Yi immediately interrupted everyone’s speculation.
“Who is it?”
Leng Jinpeng asked coldly.
“Actually… it was Miss Selina who caused this.”
Leng Jinpeng frowned in disbelief.
“Here’s the thing. Miss Selina hates a woman called WishYouASunnyDay in their game, but she couldn’t beat her. Thus, she hacked Young Master’s account and killed WishYouASunnyDay so many times she got downgraded several levels…”
Wen Yi discovered the incident where Leng Qirui found his in-game name highlighted in red and nearly became everyone’s target on the server. After that, the Almighty UnrulyTempest approached Leng Qirui to find his girlfriend justice. In the end, he offended Leng Qirui and got ma.s.sacred until he barely retained any of his in-game progress.
“At the time, UnrulyTempest claimed that his elder brother was the boss of H Gang. If Young Master killed him again, he would make Young Master suffer. When Young Master got beaten up just now, the first thing they did was to cripple Young Master’s hand. Therefore, I’m guessing that UnrulyTempest is behind this.”
Leng Jinpeng was so angry he could die. How many times had he mentioned that playing games was no different from being a criminal? Look at how Lil Rui ended up now.
However, Aiden, who fiddled with his computer without talking the whole time, finally stopped his fluttering fingers and opened his mouth.
“Wen Yi, did you miss something?”
Wen Yi’s heart skipped a beat.
“These people are indeed from the Hong Gang, but are you sure you didn’t take money from them?”
His words could not be any more straightforward. Wen Yi’s face instantly turned pale.
How did they find out?
He had already laundered money through the safest third-party agency, so how did he still manage to find out about this?
Leng Jinpeng had reached the peak of understanding in Selina and Aiden’s competence. Additionally, the two of them would never harm Leng Qirui. Hence, Leng Jinpeng’s eyes were trained on Wen Yi the moment Aiden finished speaking.
Wen Yi collapsed and sat with his legs under him after getting strangled. When he saw Leng Jinpeng’s gaze, he was so frightened that he rose on his knees and cried, “Commander, no! I didn’t!”
“Why? Lil Rui has always treated you well. When I wanted to fire you, he was the one who wanted me to retain you. Why must you cause him harm?”
