“I got it, Brother!” Ah Mo noticed Mu Yuchen’s concern, so he continued to ask, “Brother…”
“I need you to do something for me,” Mu Yuchen said suddenly.
“What is it?” On alert, Ah Mo asked, “I heard Sister-in-law suffered quite an injury and yesterday…”
“Qi Feng asked me to meet him in front of Lingtian’s grave at 9 a.m. this weekend.”
“Meet up?” Ah Mo looked hesitant. “Brother, is this a trap?”
“I’m afraid I’ll have to go even if it’s a trap, but before that, I’ll get getting some dividends from him first.” Mu Yuchen casually sat down on his chair and handed Ah Mo the guest list Li Si had given him just now. “Take a look.”
Slightly confused, he glanced at Mu Yuchen before looking through the list. “A charity dinner? What does this mean?”
“I want someone to know their place, and this is a great chance to do so.”
“Brother, what are you saying?” Ah Mo’s gaze was fixed on the name Qi Kai Corporation instantly.
“It’s Gu Lingsha.” Mu Yuchen grabbed his cup and took a sip.
Ah Mo nodded and handed the list back. “She’s appearing in a lot of public events lately and many people have been enchanted by her. I heard from a colleague that two men tried to dance with her at a birthday dinner and almost fought. It sparked a lot of discussions. Plus, many other women were unhappy with her too.”
“Unhappy?” Mu Yuchen grinned. “That makes our job easier.”
“Master, do you want to deal with her?”
“She almost broke your sister-in-law’s hand yesterday. I want to make sure she gets what she deserves. Come over here.” Mu Yuchen squinted his eyes and signaled Ah Mo to come closer. When he went nearer and bent over, Mu Yuchen whispered beside his ear. A smile appeared on Ah Mo’s face as he quickly nodded. “That’s a thorough plan indeed, but if Sister-in-law hears about this, will she…”
“She won’t,” Mu Yuchen replied with a firm tone.
Ah Mo coughed lightly. “This is pretty wicked and there’ll be consequences if they don’t handle it well. I’m sure it’ll take them a lot of time.”
“This will help Qi Lei gain some time as well. Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha have already announced their marriage. Is Doris doing anything?” Mu Yuchen asked.
“Brother, I suspect that Doris still has no idea because she went abroad a few days ago. From one of my trusted sources, Doris had always disliked Qi Weier. She tried to convince Gu Lingsha to give up on her, but since Gu Lingsha sustained severe injuries, she probably won’t be able to have a child of her own again if she gives up. That’s why she persisted and dotes on her daughter so much,” Ah Mo told Mu Yuchen what he knew. His eyes darkened slightly before he continued, “Besides, Gu Lingsha actually had twins, but she could only keep one of them due to her injuries.”
Mu Yuchen already knew about this from Xi Xiaye.
“Which means that if Qi Feng is really taking over Qi Kai, Gu Lingsha will just be his stepping stone. Qi Feng and Qi Qiming would never let a barren woman who can’t give birth to their future heir to be the real lady boss, and Qi Weier can’t possibly succeed the heavy burden.”
As Ah Mo clearly a.n.a.lyzed the benefits involved, he instantly inspired a new idea in Mu Yuchen’s mind. Mu Yuchen already guessed what Ah Mo was about to say before he actually said it, so he then raised his hand and interrupted him.
“I know what you mean. Doris probably wouldn’t agree to their marriage due to this factor, but it seems that Gu Qiwu doesn’t think so.”
“That’s one possibility. I had someone secretly investigate Gu Qiwu’s relationship with Doris in City B. While he is very sweet to Doris, it feels like he’s limited by her. I think he’s trying to get away from her control. Gu Lingsha also had a fight with Doris on the phone a few days ago because of Qi Weier.”
Ah Mo paused. “Brother, but Qi Qiming and Gu Qiwu are really fond of Qi Weier. Doris shouldn’t really give Gu Lingsha a hard time even if she doesn’t like Qi Weier. She’s Gu Lingsha’s daughter after all, so shouldn’t they cherish her more?”
“It might be a lot more complicated than we think. Who knows if Doris might want to take everything from the Gu family for herself? Gu Qiwu might be trying to break free from her because he feels threatened.” A light flashed in Mu Yuchen’s darkened eyes.
“Tell Ah Bao to reinvestigate Gu Qiwu and Doris. Also, keep an eye on the Hui Gu Corporation’s recent actions. At the same time, find out who’s backing Doris up!”
“Yes, Brother!” Ah Mo replied.
“Alright, that’s all for now. Let me know if there’s news. You can head back down.” Mu Yuchen closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair before he grabbed his teacup and started drinking again.
Ah Mo did not want to bother him as he seemed to be deep in thought, so he bowed and left the room quietly.
Mu Yuchen came back to his senses slightly when he heard the sound of the door close. He put his teacup down before grabbing the guest list and taking out his lighter.
The tiny blue flames engulfed the name list in an instant, and Mu Yuchen threw it away into a nearby dustbin…
