Chapter 1269 She could make leopard change its spots.
All this while, Zhen Qinrou thought she was the mastermind of the game and it was her who was playing with the weak nerves of the girl. But it was only now that she realized that all this while, she was not playing anything, rather she was getting played. She has just become one of the pawns on the chessboard that Zhang Xiaotong was moving and playing with as per her wishes.
"Xiaotong, if you feel that this would be easy for you, believe me, you have yet not known Shufen. He would find a way to get to the deepest truth. You won't be able to escape so soon. Don't forget all this is not just about anyone. It's about Li Xue. The woman he loves." She said knowing well that her words would be going to get on the nerves of the girl.
And it did, the same as she wanted. For a moment, the line became silent and Zhen Qinrou's lips curled on one corner, realizing that she had been successful in her intention. "What now? Did you fear that there is even a subtle chance of you getting caught?"
"I won't get caught, Aunt Feng because I have left nothing behind on me. What got me off was not the fear but your irritating words. how many times do you think I have to tell you that Brother FenFen doesn't have that woman, he is just being enchanted by her?" She said and through her words, one could easily make out the grit of her teeth. "Furthermore, today I would make sure to make him realize how wrong he was to select Li Xue."
"And once he comes to know the real face of that woman, I am sure he would not take another second before thrashing her off in a trash bin." Zhang Xiaotong said and before Zhen Qinrou could get anything from her words, the beeps of disconnection marked the end of the call.
"Hello! Hello? Xiaotong, what do you mean by that? Hello?" Zhen Qinrou kept yelling on the other side of the call but no matter how she yelled, it was of no avail. In the end, she could just thrash the phone on the bed, trying to cool off her agitation.

On the other side, back in Feng Internationals,
After hearing Qi Shuai's words, the air was deadly silent. While Qi Shuai was waiting to note the slightest change in the eyes and expression of his friend, Gao Fan was patient to hear the next orders he had to work on. But even after some minutes passed, when no words came to anyone's hearing, the two other people exchanged their gazes before Qi Shuai shrugged his shoulders.
"Shufen, is there something? Do you want to punish me for keeping that from you? If you want you can. I won't stop you but please consider me your friend before casting any punishment on me, okay?"
Qi Shuai said and Feng Shufen stared at him for a second before turning to look back at Gao Fan to ask, "What about Jing Wei Jin? Did you get anything on him?"
Gao Fan thought for a minute but then pondering for a while, he shook his head, "We are still looking into it, President Feng. We were just able to find that five years back, there was no organization named Dark Scorpion. Mr. Jing was working in some other group that was local in Chiboa." He said, and Qi Shuai felt something amiss in the information.
"Aye Jing Wei Jin's younger brother was in the group of Pan Hong. Could it be possible that he was also …"
Before even Qi Shuai could put his finger on it when from the side, Feng Shufen added with confidence. "He was in the local gang that was headed by Pan Hong." He said and Qi Shuai looked at him, blinking his eyes more in shock than surprise.
"Shufen if that's so, don't you feel that now everything seems to make sense. But then why again would Jing Wei Jin go to save Li Xue? If in the past he had been …" Before Qi Shuai could say more, Feng Shufen turned to look at his secretary and gave a nod.
Gao Fan at once nodded in understanding. "President Feng, I will go and make our men change the direction of our investigation." He said before walking to the corner to make the call.
While Qi Shuai simply stared at Shufen for a while before saying, "Shufen, I must say, your wife has got charms to make even a leopard change his spots. I mean look at her, she not just changed you but has even made Jing Wei Jin change his way of thought. I can bet he would have gone to kill her but ended up falling for her."
The moment he said that Feng Shufen coldly glared at him, making him purse his lips.
"I didn't want to say it like that. I just meant Li Xue is truly an angel that could bring great changes in this world. Anyway, she is your wife, who am I to comment on her."
Right at that time, completing the change in arrangement, Gao Fan returned but there was a tug of complication on his expression. When Qi Shuai looked at him like that, he couldn't hold back from asking, "Secretary Gao, you seem serious? Is there a problem?"
Gao Fan looked at him for a second before turning to look at Feng Shufen to say, "President Feng, I just received a call from the front desk downstairs. There has been someone waiting to meet you."
As he said, Qi Shuai clapped. "What so complicated in that? Didn't he just say that Xiao Xue would be coming here? It must be her. Go, and get her. What are you waiting for?" he said and Gao Fan didn't look too favorably at him. Getting confused about it, he asked again, "What? Secretary Gao, why are you looking at me like that? Did I say anything wrong?"
Gao Fan turned to look back at Feng Shufen and said, "President Feng, it's Ms. Zhang again."
