Chapter 979: Promise

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Morning arrived.

The doctor left after reapplying the ointment on Xi Xiaye’s wound. Xi Xiaye just lay down on the bed and watched the TV as Mu Yuchen went through some documents on the sofa. The coffee table before him was filled with papers, and he was typing away swiftly on his computer.

As Mu Yuchen was focusing on work, Li Si’s voice reached him. “Master, Qi Feng called and specifically asked for you!”

Qi Feng?

He stopped his movements for a moment when he heard that name. The blue light from the computer screen reflected onto his face, complimenting his already icy expression.

After a while, Mu Yuchen calmly took the phone from Li Si. He glanced over at his wife on the bed. Although he noticed she seemed sleepy, he still decided to go outside.

He only spoke when he reached at the end of the corridor, “It’s me.”

A cold, hoarse voice reached him soon after that, “Mu Yuchen, it’s you. Your voice sure sounds nostalgic!” The man on the other side of the phone let out a cold laugh. Mu Yuchen could sense the icy cold vibes even through the phone.

“I’m sure you know who I am, don’t you?”

“It’s an honor for you to remember me, First Master Qi,” Mu Yuchen replied calmly.

“I knew you know that I’m back. We will meet eventually anyway.” Qi Feng’s voice was exceptionally hoarse. “I suppose you’d love to see me right now.”

Mu Yuchen did not reply.

“9 a.m. this weekend. I’ll be waiting for you at Mu Lingtian’s grave.”

Qi Feng ended the call after that.

Mu Yuchen’s expression turned stony for a while after the phone call ended. He then put on a terrifying smile.

At the same time, in the backyard of the Qi residence, Qi Feng’s expression was distant as he threw the phone away. Dark, cold energy gathered in his eyes as he lowered his head and looked at his legs while he clenched his fists.

Morrison stood behind him without saying anything.

Qi Feng closed his eyes. Morrison trembled slightly when he saw Qi Feng getting worked up in anger. He opened his eyes after a while and punched his legs viciously. His eyes darkened when he still could not feel anything in his legs.

“First Master, let’s try traditional Chinese medicine.”

Morrison’s jaw was still bruised. His broken tooth had already been replaced, but he frowned when he spoke as he still felt the twinge of pain. Qi Lei had really roughed him up!

“It’s no use. All the doctors said it’s futile. I’m afraid I’ll be like this for the rest of my life,” Qi Feng said with disappointment.

“Trying gives you hope. We don’t lose anything. If you’re willing to try, then I’ll send someone to scout for the best,” Morrison said.

“There’s no need. What’s the time now?” Qi Feng asked.

“It’s almost 9 a.m. CEO Qi is still having his check-up in the hospital. By the way, First Master, our people at the hospital informed me that Qi Lei visited early in the morning. He was in CEO Qi’s room for quite a while. Doesn’t Qi Lei hate dealing with CEO Qi? Did he suddenly think it through?” Morrison was puzzled.

Qi Feng was surprised to hear that but said nothing.

“By the way, First Master, you did mention that CEO Qi was acting differently. He should be sending Qi Lei away as soon as possible, but why did he not give such orders? The company seems a little conflicted because of the project at City B. Wang Qin’s former subordinates had nothing to say. Qi Lei has really hit rock bottom this time, so we should seize the opportunity and give him a huge blow so that he can never make a comeback! Maybe if you suggest it to CEO Qi personally, he might accept it,” Morrison suggested, “Even if there are any rumors, we can just blame it on the other stakeholders! Or else, things might become disadvantageous for us if CEO Qi becomes considerate towards Qi Lei!”

Qi Feng’s eyes darkened. “Let’s not make any rash moves for now. I can’t really grasp what Father has been thinking lately. We need to back off and observe. Let’s see what happens at the end of the meeting tomorrow. No matter what, there’s been a huge gap between them after Wang Qin’s death. I understand Qi Lei very well. It’s exactly at times like this that he feels like he’s suffering. He’s actually a soft-hearted person. He wouldn’t be like this today if he was more like Wang Qin.

“Let’s go now. The time should be right and the reporters should’ve caught on to the news already.” Qi Feng did not say anything else as Morrison quietly pushed him forward.

Qi Qiming was discharged at 10 a.m. The entrance of the hospital was filled with reporters when Qi Lei wheeled Qi Qiming out of the hospital in a wheelchair. Qi Kai started out as a company in the entertainment industry, and their influence should not be underestimated as they were one of the industry’s top leaders.

The bodyguards held umbrellas behind as Qi Lei continued to wheel Qi Qiming forward. Although it was already July, the sun still emanated its heat generously, so it was extremely hot even though it was only 10 a.m.

The father-son pair seemed to be getting along, contradicting the rumors that they had fought over something trivial that ended up with Qi Qiming in the hospital. They looked like they were having a great time. It was a rare sight to see a smile on Qi Qiming’s face, especially one that looked so genuine.

Even Gu Lingsha was in disbelief! She rarely saw Qi Qiming smile this happily, especially ever since Wang Qin passed away!
