While Morrison spoke calmly, his eyes were filled with determination as they focused on Qi Feng.

Qi Feng met Morrison’s eyes coldly too. His fingers combed through his hair as he fell hard against the chair behind him, and his tensed expression could not help but darken. His hands held the document before him, and in the blink of an eye, that paper was all crumpled up.

“Don’t go overboard, Morrison!” Qi Feng said weakly. He could not help but feel a stifled pain in his heart.

He took a deep breath, then said, “I haven’t had a mother since I was young. Father brought me back to the Qi family and never treated me any lesser. Under his protection, I didn’t need to be troubled by Wang Qin. Qi Lei’s dissatisfaction was obvious. I have to admit that in terms of our actual position, I’d always be far ahead of Qi Lei. If it weren’t for the elders and Wang Qin, it would never be Qi Lei’s turn to be the head of the family. He’s never treated me unkindly, but now…”

At this point, Qi Feng laughed bitterly and became dazed.

“A great man has to be ruthless, First Master…”

“Shut up! You can be so cruel because that man isn’t your father. It’s one thing to not get any evidence about this, but everyone will know. How am I supposed to face him and everyone else?”

Qi Feng held his heavy head as he could not hold back the uneasiness and pain he felt. Suddenly, he pushed all the things on the table to the ground. Glass shattered!

“First Master…” Morrison was so frightened that he dared not say much. He just retreated to the side silently.

…

At this moment, outside Qi Qiming’s Intensive Care Unit ward.

Qi Lei took the document from Mu Yuchen’s hands and looked through it briefly. Darkness gathered in his eyes. It corresponded with the dim sunset, and he seemed exceptionally cold.

“What did you say? The driver that caused this was Glenn? Doris’s previous assistant?” Qi Lei’s cold tone came through while his eyes were filled with disbelief and gloominess as they were fixated on Mu Yuchen.

“Yes, the authorities have confirmed that it’s Glenn. He was too severely hurt and couldn’t be saved, so he’s gone now. But this accident was no accident. It’s premeditated murder that was a long time coming with the target being your father, Qi Qiming.”

Even though Mu Yuchen’s tone was calm, one could hear the heaviness in it.

“I heard that Qi Qiming was planning on delaying the shareholders’ meeting, so…”

“How cruel of him!” Qi Lei said through gritted teeth. Before Mu Yuchen could finish, he had already walked away. His stiff back made one’s heart feel cold.

“Qi Lei!”

Xi Xiaye wanted to go up and stop him, but Mu Yuchen held her back. “Let him go. He’ll know what to do, Xiaye!”

Because she was held back, Xi Xiaye could only stop and look worriedly in the direction that Qi Lei gradually vanished towards.

“Mr. Mu, was it really Qi Feng? Would he be so heartless? I can tell that he’s very protective of his daughter, Weiwei. He doesn’t seem like the kind of person who’d do this.”

Xi Xiaye was still in disbelief that Qi Feng would have really done such a thing to Qi Qiming.

Mu Yuchen put a hand across her shoulders and said in a lowered voice, “Whether or not that’s true is no longer important.”

Then, he paused and turned to look at Qi Qiming who lay lifelessly on the sickbed. “Now, the only important thing is what will happen next. At this point, the hardest step might’ve already been taken. We can’t really be sure of what comes next anymore.”

“The human heart is truly terrifying!” Xi Xiaye could not help but lament.

“There are many classic stories in history about seizing the throne by force. It’s nothing new.”

Xi Xiaye nodded as she sighed helplessly. “I don’t wish for Qi Qiming to die. Otherwise, Qi Lei…”

She did not finish her sentence towards the end…

…

Screech!

At the entrance to Qi Kai Corporation, the sound of a car braking was heard. When they saw the car that sped over, the guards at the entrance became on high alert too. However, when they saw the familiar car number plate, they retreated.

“Second Master!”

The moment they saw Qi Lei get down from the car, the guards went up to him quickly.

Qi Lei swiftly flung open the door and ignored the bodyguards that came up to him before he walked into the office with huge strides.

“Second Master…”

“Vice President Qi!”

“Greetings, VP Qi!”

Along the way, many people naturally greeted Qi Lei. Qi Qiming and the shareholders did not steal Qi Lei’s position. Thus, in Qi Kai Corporation, Qi Lei was still the Vice President by position, and everyone was respectful of him.

However, with Qi Lei’s cold and sharp demeanor, everyone dared not say much. They only silently watched as he walked over and everyone automatically opened up a path for him.

Working hours were ending soon, so most of the employees were rushing to leave work.

Qi Lei walked into the elevators, pressed the button for the floor he wanted, then walked through a long pathway to get to his destination.

“Second Master Qi!” Morrison, who had just walked out of Qi Feng’s office looked up and was surprised to see the stormy-looking Qi Lei walk over, especially with his sharp and cold gaze.

Earlier, their people had called to inform them that after Qi Qiming got into the accident, it was Qi Lei who had sent him to the hospital. They were all roughly aware of the situation now. Qi Feng and the customers chatted for the entire afternoon. It was only when he received Wang Chun’s call that he found out about the incident.

Now, Qi Feng was about to rush to the hospital when Qi Lei came over!

“Where’s Qi Feng?” Qi Lei looked coldly at Morrison and asked indifferently.

“Second Master Qi, what are you going to do? We’re at work…” Morrison was surprised by the hostility from Qi Lei as well, but he could not stop him in time.

Qi Lei frowned and pushed him away. “Back off!”

Morrison only felt a chilly aura, and before he could react, Qi Lei had pushed him aside and walked past to make his way towards Qi Feng’s office!

Bam!

The loud crash came through as the heavy door was suddenly pushed open!

The sudden noise surprised everyone inside!

Gu Lingsha shrieked in reflex and looked towards the door, “Ah!”

Qi Feng, who was getting up with the help of the table, was surprised too. He quickly glanced towards the door. He had just been about to rush to the hospital with Gu Lingsha.
