1072 Abrupt Change 1
However, Yang Sheng dared not walk over to disturb them either because they were all thinking about how this was a good opportunity. They hoped that their Master Qi would seize this chance properly!
Dongfang Liuyun was a fantastic catch. Even if he could get her in the end, she probably would not be an easy one.
Yang Sheng could only silently mourn for Qi Lei in his heart.
…
After a while, another three bottles were emptied, yet Dongfang Liuyun did not look drunk. On the contrary, she seemed quite clear-headed while a faint light gathered in her calm eyes as she stared at Qi Lei who had gone to sleep on the table beside her. She started to scrutinize him.
While Qi Lei felt like his head was heavy, when the refreshing night breeze blew, he felt cold and subconsciously shrank.
Dongfang Liuyun finished the last two bottles of beer, then waved for the boss to come over. Quickly, she paid up.
“Hey, it’s late. It’s time to go home. Wake up.” She put her wallet away and picked up her black bag to knock Qi Lei’s head, yet he just swatted her hand away, as if he was annoyed that his sleep was being disrupted.
Upon seeing that, Dongfang Liuyun frowned. She swept her long hair aside and thumped the table in front of him. “I’m leaving even if you’re not leaving. It’s not my problem if you sleep on the streets tonight.”
Qi Lei did not respond at all.
Dongfang Liuyun pondered for a moment, then called the boss over.
“Yes, Miss Dongfang?”
Dongfang Liuyun was a regular customer here and had quite a friendly relationship with the boss. She took a few notes out to pa.s.s to him and pointed at Qi Lei who was drunk silly. “Later, help this guy to a nearby guesthouse to rest. I have something to do now. When he wakes up tomorrow, just give me a call to let me know.” Then, she handed him her name card.
The boss nodded zealously. “Okay, Miss Dongfang. Don’t worry. I’ll get it done.”
With a nod, Dongfang Liuyun turned around and her slender figure swiftly vanished underneath the dim streetlights.
At this moment, Yang Sheng, who had been watching, finally got down from the car. He walked over in huge steps and shook Qi Lei. “Master Qi! Master Qi, wake up! She’s gone!”
“Who are you?”
The boss looked vigilantly at Yang Sheng. Qi Lei did not look like a n.o.body either. Since Miss Dongfang had entrusted the guy to him, he would need to help watch over him. Therefore, when Yang Sheng appeared out of nowhere, he was clearly alarmed.
“Oh, this is my Master. I’m Yang Sheng and I’m here to pick him up,” Yang Sheng quickly explained and even showed his ID. Only then did the boss let down his guard.
“I’ll just bring him home. Um, just pa.s.s me Miss Dongfang’s contact number, please!”
Yang Sheng and the chauffeur helped Qi Lei up. Before leaving, Yang Sheng smiled as he reached out to take the name card from the boss’s hand.
…
Detective Zhang was not slow with his work, but Xi Xiaye was getting impatient from waiting. When she received Detective Zhang’s call at noon, she finally felt relieved.
They met in the same field as the last time. When Xi Xiaye went over, Detective Zhang was already waiting.
“Look at this. It should contain the things you want.” When Detective Zhang saw her, he handed the thick folder over.
Xi Xiaye took it quickly. She flipped it open and indeed, it was all about what happened decades ago. In fact, if this information was released, it could shake up the entire city!
“There a CD with a recording inside. It has all the information that I’ve collected. Take a look at it yourself,” Detective Zhang said in a deep voice.
Xi Xiaye flipped through the doc.u.ments for a bit, then immediately kept the folder away. She looked gratefully at him. “Thank you, Detective Zhang. You’ve worked hard!”
Detective Zhang waved his hand. “I’m fine, but what do you want to do with these things? Are you trying to go against Gu Qiwu or Doris? Oh, I forgot to tell you that Doris’s flight will be landing this evening.”
“This evening’s flight? She’s coming to City Z?” Xi Xiaye frowned.
Detective Zhang nodded. “Yeah, when I was investigating Gu Qiwu, I accidentally found out. You need to be careful yourselves. They’re all not easy to handle.”
“I got it. Thank you, Detective Zhang. I’ve already banked in the remaining amount into your account, so monitor it.”
“Okay, I’m leaving now!” Detectve Zhang waved and left.
Xi Xiaye’s hand tightened its grip on the folder and she quickly left too.
Inside the office of Glory World’s Chairman, while Mu Yuchen was flipping through some doc.u.ments, Li Si suddenly entered to announce, “Master, the Elder Chairman is here!”
Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen stopped what he was doing and then quickly signed his name on the doc.u.ment before closing it and setting it aside.
“Bring two cups of flower tea in.” Mu Yuchen’s tone was very calm, and as he spoke, he got up slowly to walk towards the bookshelf beside him.
Li Si responded knowingly, then there was the sound of footsteps from the entrance of the office. When he looked up, Mu Yinan was walking in with a stormy expression. The cold aura from all over him scared Li Si who quickly bowed and greeted him before carefully retreating and closing the door.
“What’s up with Lingshi’s matter? I heard some things from your father. You’ve been investigating this for a while now, so I’m sure you already have the results. All of you actually kept your grandmother and me in the dark! Ah Chen, you’re doing things your way now, huh?!”
Mu Yinan’s tone was filled with anger and gloom as a dangerous light flashed in his aged eyes. His gaze was fixated on Mu Yuchen who was standing underneath the bookshelf with his calm, handsome face.
Without defending himself, Mu Yuchen looked at the angry Mu Yinan and then pointed at the sofa. “Grandfather, have a seat first. Don’t be angry. I told Father to tell you first, but I want to tell you about it myself.” Then, he turned around and took a doc.u.ment from the shelf before walking over towards his grandfather.
Mu Yinan watched him for a while. Then, he walked over to sit down.
Li Si hastily brought the tea in. “Elder Chairman, don’t be angry first. Master…”
Before he could finish, Mu Yuchen calmly said, “Get out.”
