Dongfang Liuyun did not continue. She glanced at Dongfang Gan, who was lying on the bed, and turned to the sofa opposite her—
“Sit.”
As she spoke, she took two empty cups and poured water into them. She moved one of the cups to the seat beside her.
Seeing this, Qi lei also walked over and sat down beside her.
“Father should be a little vigilant. There’s no problem. The news has been suppressed.”
Qi Lei took a sip of water. His gaze swept across her face that had become calm. He looked out the window and realized that the lights outside seemed to be waning.
Dongfang Liuyun looked down at the glass of water in her hand. After a while, she raised her hand and drank a few mouthfuls. She leaned back in her chair and watched his handsome face from the corner of her eyes, “It’s all thanks to you for what happened tonight. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’d be mentally and physically exhausted. I won’t say thank you anymore, but I’d like to trouble you with something.”
She was too lazy to argue. Since Qi Lei was involved in this matter, and it just so happened that he might be able to help share some of the burden, she did not mind asking. Originally, she wanted to ask Lan Xiu for help, but after thinking about it, perhaps it might be more appropriate to ask her husband in name to help.
The two of them had known each other for a long time and had been partners for a long time. Dongfang Liuyun seemed to have automatically classified him as a comrade she could trust, so she did not feel awkward at all when she opened her mouth, instead, she seemed very at ease.
“Hmm? Tell me!” Qi Lei looked at her generously and replied.
“I know that you have a lot of connections. The owner of Emperor Hotel seems to be quite friendly with you. I hope that you can help me find out about what happened tonight. This thing was carefully planned by some people. They probably won’t be willing to see their results destroyed in an instant. I already know about the situation at the hotel. Other than your people, Ah Fei and the others probably still don’t know what happened to my father, so I have an idea now.”
Dongfang Liuyun fell silent for a moment. A faint light flashed across her starry eyes, and a calm voice was heard.
“Tell me about it.”
Qi Lei looked at Dongfang Liuyun, and his interest was piqued. He could not help but stare at her with amusement.
Dongfang Liuyun raised her head and drank all the water in her glass. She bent down slightly and poured herself more at a leisurely pace, as she said, “Let’s lure the snake out of its hole. When you got this camera, it should have been on the whole time, right?”
Qi Lei nodded. There was some doubt in his eyes.
“If we can capture the scene from the earlier parts, we can edit a clip and put it on the Internet. Then, we can pretend that someone from the hotel accidentally intercepted this video. As an explosive piece of news, I think there will be people willing to buy this video at a high price, such as my father!”
When Dongfang Liuyun said this, Qi lei paused for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he immediately understood what Dongfang Liuyun meant!
He had just watched the full version of the video and did not see any explosive scenes, but…
As long as he did not say anything, then…
A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Qi Lei’s face. He looked at the woman beside him with admiration and smiled, “What you mean is that some of the flashy parts of this video would be posted online, and then you’d use your father’s name to buy this video at a high price. You would accidentally let the other party know about it, and then… ”
“Then, the other party will definitely want the complete version of this video more. You’ll take the opportunity to blackmail them and make them pay a high price. Then, I’ll pay a higher price, and you can take the opportunity to make a profit as a reward.”
Dongfang Liuyun finished his sentence.
As Qi Lei listened, the dark light in his eyes became brighter and brighter. He could not help but chuckle, “You’re quite bad, Mrs. Qi.”
Dongfang Liuyun quickly threw him an indifferent look. “Touchè!”
Qi Lei chuckled. He lifted his hand and drank up the water in his glass. He put the glass down and smiled. “Alright! We’ll do as you said then, I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied! ”
…
At the same time, at the edge of the plaza not far from Emperor Hotel, a white luxury car was steadily parked.
In the car, Ah Li slowly put away the phone in his hand and turned to look to the back seat of the car. Lan Xiu was playing a game on his tablet. His expression was a little heavy, and his voice was very low as he said in a very low voice, “President Lan, Miss Dongfang has already left. I just talked to President’s assistant, Mr. Ah Fei, on the phone. President Gan is in trouble, and Miss Dongfang was almost trapped in the elevator tonight. Fortunately, she was rescued in time, or else the consequences would have been unimaginable. Also, President Gan is currently at Hospital T. Mr. Ah Fei will send the address over later. Miss Dongfang should be there too. I think the situation is not good!”
Ah Li told him all the information he had gathered in one breath. After he finished, he stared at Lan Xiu’s handsome face under the dim yellow light.
Sure enough, when Lan Xiu heard this, his handsome face immediately darkened. He looked up at Ah Li and asked, “What did you say?”
Ah Li’s expression also changed. He replied, “I said that something might have happened to Miss Dongfang. The President is currently in Hospital T!”
“What’s going on?”
Lan Xiu’s voice was cold as he asked.
“I’m not sure yet. It seems that Mr. Ah Fei’s side is also… ”
Lan Xiu could not help but feel dizzy. He took a deep breath and said, “Go to Hospital T.”
“Go to the hospital?”
Ah Li was stunned for a moment and could not help but remind him, “President Lan, you are flying to City C on the next flight. Mr. Ge has already said that he will send people to pick you up. If we can’t get there in time, I’m afraid that it won’t be too good?”
Ah Li was also thinking about Lan Xiu. It was already very difficult to win this project, and it was not easy to have a turn for the better. If they were delayed because of this matter, the people on the other side would definitely be unhappy, this would also greatly affect whether they could successfully win this project.
“I will explain it to him clearly. I will rush to the hospital now. I don’t want to hear any more nonsense.”
Lan Xiu took a deep breath. He could not hide the worry in his eyes. After calming down for a while, he turned to watch the scenery outside the car window for a long time. Then, he closed his eyes and leaned against the seat behind him—
“Also, find out what happened tonight.”
He could not help but worry about her…
As Lan Xiu spoke, he subconsciously reached out and gently pressed his slightly aching chest. His pair of dark eyes then closed…
