Chapter 1298 Scheming, Retreating To Advance 4More than two days had passed, and the news of Qi Lei’s disappearance could not be hidden from Qi Qiming.Qi Qiming had been abroad for the past two days. When he reached City Z in the morning, he went straight to the company.“What did you say? Missing? What do you mean he’s gone missing?”
In the luxuriously comfortable office, Qi Qiming was sitting on the soft chair, yet his cold voice echoed in the entire office. Xi Xinyi trembled slightly at the sound, and her beautiful face could not help but flash with terror.
She walked up again and spoke in a trembling and uneasy voice, “CEO Qi, I don’t know what happened either. Because of the proposal, I’ve been in contact with VP Qi and Assistant Yang, but I haven’t been able to get them. I’ve gone to ask around at Grand Lake Villa when I found out that VP Qi isn’t even back although the people in City B said that he left City B long ago. I thought something was odd, so I got someone to check on the flight information only to find out that he never even boarded the plane!”
When Xi Xinyi finished, Qi Qiming’s expression sank as he felt an uneasiness rise in his chest. He thought about it for a while, then looked coldly at Xi Xinyi. “What’s the actual situation?”
“I’m not too sure of the details. Right now, I just can’t contact them, and the customer’s rushing for the proposal. VP Qi didn’t finish handing it over when he left, so…I went to take a look at Chenye Movies and Television. They seem to know that VP Qi is missing, but they don’t know what happened either. Things seemed to be in a mess. I was going to look for Director Qi, but I didn’t expect him to…”
When Xi Xinyi said this, she looked carefully at Qi Qiming.
“Didn’t expect him to what?” Qi Qiming’s cold voice came through, and she could not help but feel a chill travel down her spine. She breathed in, then lowered her voice to say, “CEO Qi said that since VP Qi can leave the company, it’s not within his power to care about his problems…It sounds like Director Qi’s quite angry.”
As Xi Xinyi finished, Qi Qiming’s expression looked worse and his eagle eyes had turned cold. Then, he grabbed his phone from the table and made a call.
“Hello? It’s me! Investigate right away what’s happened to Qi Lei. Hurry!” he said, then he slammed down the phone to hang up, the sound startling Xi Xinyi again.
“Alright, I got it. Get out first.” Qi Qiming tried hard to control her emotions as he coldly told Xi Xinyi to get out.
“Yes, CEO Qi! But what about the proposal?”
“I’ll get someone to send it to you once I’ve looked through it!”
After that, Xi Xinyi turned around to leave Qi Qiming’s office.
The door closed, and Qi Qiming loosened up a little, but his dark eyes still contained heaviness. After a short while, the phone on the table suddenly buzzed, and Qi Qiming swiftly picked it up.
“So? What happened these past few days?”
The person on the other end responded very quickly, “It’s huge, CEO Qi! I just found out that Master Qi and his assistant, Yang Sheng, as well as Glory World’s manager, Mu Lingmo, have all gone missing together. The Mu family are all worried about it right now. Mu Tangchuan has already sent people to handle this. All the signs point to them being kidnapped!”
“Kidnapped?” Qi Qiming’s eyes froze. “Are you saying that Qi Lei was kidnapped?”
“Yes, CEO Qi, based on the current situation, this is the only speculated possibility!”
“B*stard! Which bold fool dares to touch my people? Are they tired of living? What have you all been doing? When did this happen? How did you only find out now? I think you want to get fired!” Qi Qiming could not help but explode in rage. He felt a panic rise in his chest. Even he himself did not know what happened, and he found it hard to breathe. In his mind, the scene of when Wang Qin passed away flashed.
“CEO Qi, please don’t be angry! I’ll get someone to rescue Second Master Qi right away!”
“Wait! Send me a copy of all the information you’ve gathered quickly!”
“Yes, CEO Qi, don’t worry. Second Master Qi will be fine! I’ll send this over right away!” The person on the other end sighed, yet before he could finish, Qi Qiming had already hung up.
After a while, the laptop before Qi Qiming chimed with the sound of a notification, so he quickly clicked on it.
His expression began to darken as he read further…
…
In his office, Qi Feng was busy as always.
After Gu Lingsha was released, the husband and wife’s relationship quickly became tense again. When he left the house that morning, they even fought. Qi Feng was finding it more and more of a headache now, so he could not help but feel frustrated.
He did not want to be petty with her. In his helplessness, he could only leave the house early and reach the office sooner without even having breakfast.
The misunderstood ones were often worn out. Doubt was a seed that once planted, would easily root and sprout, especially for a woman like Gu Lingsha.
Even if Qi Feng wanted to get rid of her doubts, he still felt powerless.
Pa!
His mind could not help be filled with frustration. He could barely catch his breath as he could not help but toss the document in hand and loosen his tie.
Dong, dong, dong!
At this moment, the sound of a rushed knock on the door was heard.
“Come in!” a raspy voice spoke, and Qi Feng quickly gathered himself.
The door opened, and Morrison walked in with a solemn expression. He turned around to close the door and then walk over to Qi Feng.
“Master, bad news!”
“What is it?” Qi Feng frowned and glanced coldly at him.
Morrison walked over and said softly, “CEO Qi’s back at the office. He’s asked to see you right away! I heard earlier that he’s got someone to investigate Qi Lei’s disappearance. Do you think he noticed something?”
When Morrison said that, Qi Feng’s expression sank further and the light in his dark eyes began to flicker uncertainly.
“Master, I wonder how Doris did it. How did Mu Lingmo get dragged into it too? She might have thought that the Mu Lingmo is a simple person, but he’ll probably ruin things instead! I’m really worried right now if something’s going to change!” Morrison said very worriedly.
However, Qi Feng appeared much calmer.
“Mu Lingmo got dragged into it? Huh, we might’ve been wrong. Mu Lingmo could be Doris’s real target while Qi Lei is only a problem she’s helping us resolve along the way! This woman has never been easy to be taken advantage of. She wants me to help her deal with Gu Qiwu. Before that, she got to help me clean up the obstacles too. Mu Lingshi’s so well protected right now, so she had to find a breakthrough!” Qi Feng’s cold and raspy voice was completely hostile.
