Chapter 1267 Zhen Qinrou's deep involvement.
"Wait, did you just mean Li Xue was attacked?"
As Gao Fan said, Qi Shuai was the first to spring up in surprise. He has not yet heard anything of this coming. Furthermore, haven't there been trained men around Li Xue? How did she still get attacked?
"Is she fine? Or did she get hurt?" He asked in concern, turning at once to look at Gao Fan who was standing there with a very nonchalant expression.
"Madam is fine. At the right time, Driver Du had managed to save her. Also, Mr. Jing was there for her rescue." Gao Fan informed and with the mention of Jing Wei Jin's name, Qi Shuai's brows quirked up in astonishment.
Turning around he eyed Feng Shufen as if he had grown three horns on his head. "Really, Gao Fan? I mean are you sure that it was Mr. Jing who came to rescue Xiao Xue?" He asked and when not heard the secretary replying, he chuckled with fun to add, "How is this world still working well? Shouldn't it already be facing the menacing wrath of our dearest President Feng?"
The moment he said that, Feng Shufen looked up to glare at him and another flutter of laughter left from the lips of Qi Shuai which he tried to control very badly. While Gao Fan was all speechless.
Has the man forgotten his boundaries already? Why was he even daring to provoke the Devil when he already knew that it could be dangerous?
"My bad! My bad! Shufen, don't get me wrong but the way I know your possessiveness, it's hard to believe that you are still so normal after knowing that your woman was saved by someone else when she was in danger. I mean up until now, you would have broken the chains of all restraints you had on yourself. Am I not right?" Qi Shuai said and Feng Shufen remained all mum to his words.
Gao Fan looked at his boss as well. Even though he has not thought about this before but now that he has heard Director Qi mention it, he also feels that something was not right here. Looking at the happening over again, it felt like his President was a little liberal this time. Something that was quite inconvincible in between.
Might be there was something in the plans of President Feng that they were yet to understand. Thinking it like that, Gao Fan was dwelling in his own thoughts when suddenly, Feng Shufen's voice snapped him out of his trance.
"Gao Fan, other than this, is there anything else in which you feel that it could be her involvement?" Feng Shufen asked coldly. Although before this Feng Shufen was already aware of the cunning motive of Zhen Qinrou in the family, he still never thought that the lady would get audacious enough to lay her hands on something she shouldn't. He was quite shortsighted to assume that her boundaries would be limited to manipulating the minds of the family relatives only.
Now that her bravery has come to his notice, he doesn't want to take her any easy. Furthermore, he wanted to know each of her crimes before he set the punishment for her. Knowing her extent of reaching a mafia gang like this, he doesn't feel that her crimes would be limited to just one plan of assassination. There must be more behind the curtains that he was yet to know.
On the askance of Feng Shufen like that, Gao Fan was about to shake his head, when from the side Qi Shuai interrupted in a deep tone. Something that was quite different from the one he was using moments before.
"There's more than that." Qi Shuai said and the secretary turned to look at him with confusion.
Feng Shufen also turned to look his way. Though he didn't ask to elaborate, his expression was enough to say that he was waiting to hear more of it.
Qi Shuai looked his way and hesitated for a moment. Thinking the right way to present, he didn't plan to beat around the bush and said, "Shufen, I don't know how you are going to react to this but there is a piece of knowledge that I have been hiding from you all this while. It's regarding what happened to you five years back. The accident that you were involved in was the plan of Zhen Qinrou. She was the one to plot it against you and maybe also against Xiao Xue."
Feng Shufen's brows got raised while his grey eyes turned cold. Looking at him like that, for once Qi Shuai felt that he did wrong or might have chosen the wrong time to dump out the things, but since it was already done, he had no choice to hold back now. Bracing himself, he could only state it out.
Furthermore, how long could he hide it? Hasn't it been enough? With the passing time, Zhen Qinrou was only becoming courageous. If things continue like this, who would take guarantee that the woman would not again plan something. She had already been brave enough to put her hands on Li Xue in broad daylight.
So, in the end, thinking all that Qi Shuai decided to take the blow, even if it meant that he would end up dead next. Taking a deep breath in, he said, "Look, brother, I had no intention of hiding it from you. It was just that when I got the inkling of the things, there was no evidence to confirm it. Even though Zhen Qinrou was one of the strongest suspects in my eyes, I couldn't set her forth just based on my suspicion as she was not just any woman. She is the wife of your dad and couldn't be easily reached."
"So, I planned to get evidence against her. I even confronted her at a point of time and that was when I came to understand that my suspicion wasn't wrong, to begin with. But still, that wasn't enough. All this time I have been working to find out more about it. Remember we held the driver who did your accident. The one with the name Hao. I tortured him enough to make him reveal only to hear that all of these were ordered to him to fulfill the wish of his Boss's woman."
"Nothing made sense. I was put into an accident and was almost poisoned at the hospital. It was then we got to know that the boss behind Hao was no other but Pan Hong. I researched him in the past month and dug into his past and personal life. And only then did I get to know that Zhen Qinrou had been once involved with him during her young days. Although there was no proof to prove her present involvement with him, there were a few traces that proved that once or twice in a month, she used to visit his underground base."
Qi Shuai said, trying his best to not miss any point in between his words. He feared that if he did, he wouldn't get a second chance to explain things.
Once he was done, he looked at Feng Shufen. His expression was hard to read but Qi Shuai could tell that things won't end simple.
