Gu Lingsha's eyes turned cold at Qi Feng's words. She could not release the pent-up anger in her chest. As she looked at Qi Feng's darkened and unhappy expression, she suddenly felt a piercing ache in her heart.

She did not know why Qi Feng was like this recently. He was apathetic and hard to see through, no longer like before. At least, he did not use to talk to her like this. Even though he did not usually say much, he would never use such a tone with her.

What was happening?

Gu Lingsha's beautiful eyes widened slightly and she looked at Qi Feng silently. For a long time, she kept quiet. There was only weakness and sadness in her eyes. After that, she could only take a deep breath in, cover her face, and blink. She took the temporary crutch from the side and turned to walk towards the bedroom without another glimpse at Qi Feng...

Qi Feng did not go after her. His eyes were only obscure and unclear as he calmed down.

When Morrison came over, it was already late at night.

He looked at Qi Feng whose leg was being massaged by the masseuse as he reported softly, "Master, CEO Qi has agreed to let Xi Xinyi be Second Master's assistant."

"Mmm, how did Yue Hai react?" Qi Feng asked nonchalantly, his eyes remaining fixed on the magazine before him.

"We don't know for now, but I think he'll probably just wait and see."

Qi Feng then closed the magazine in hand and waved the masseuse away. The masseuse swiftly packed up his things and left.

"He's a sly fox too. Don't you see how he almost always remains neutral at meetings? Father's attitude is a little vague. Right now, he's probably having some thoughts, especially after this whole ordeal. I can no longer guess what my father's thinking about Qi Lei."

When Morrison saw Qi Feng's expression darkened, he said softly, "It's not necessarily a great thing for things to happen right in front of our eyes too."

Qi Feng tossed aside the magazine in his hand and massaged the fatigue between his brows. "Qi Lei staying here is equal to a pair of Mu Yuchen's eyes. He's a very strong chess piece. Qi Lei even went against my father for him. I don't quite understand what he's up to. From what I can see, Qi Lei might not be after Qi Kai, but because of that, he shouldn't be so harsh against my father. Could Mu Yuchen have promised him some benefits?"

Obviously, someone like Qi Feng would never believe in anything such as pure friendship. His belief was that—

There were no forever relationships and friends, only benefits.

Those that put relationships above all else were only doing so because the other person did not have a large enough bargaining chip.

"Master, what you're saying is..."

"Mu Yuchen must've promised him something good. Otherwise, why would Qi Lei be so strong against his own family? It's not like he doesn't know what the consequences will be if he truly angers my father? Do you remember what happened years ago when Wang Qin sent him abroad?"

When Qi Feng said this, his dark eyes squinted slightly and were filled with amusement.

Upon hearing this, Morrison paused. He breathed in after a long while and nodded. "Got it, Master, I'll get people to investigate Second Master and Mu Yuchen right away. Oh, right, Mu Yuchen seems to be..."

Morrison wanted to continue, but Qi Feng suddenly lifted a hand to stop him.

Qi Feng did not continue the earlier topic and asked instead, "How are things on Doris's end?"
