Chapter 274 Stunned: What are you doing?
Liu Cheng handed over the pre-printed paternity report. Upon seeing the words "no blood relation" on it, Feng Jue remained calm and expressionless.
"Okay, I understand. Keep this a secret. Continue the covert investigation."
"yes."
"Bring over all the documents that have accumulated over the past few days..."
Liu Cheng's eyes flickered; he wanted to say something to offer advice, but ultimately held back. For the big boss, women were poison, while work was the antidote, a powerful tonic.
Once the documents are processed, the lovesickness should be cured.
He picked up the nearly half-person-high file and saw the big boss engrossed in his work, showing no signs of distress. The way the big boss was working so diligently even made him, a grown man, feel completely stunned for a few seconds before Liu Cheng finally felt relieved and left the president's office.
After accumulating several days' worth of work, Feng Jue efficiently handled it all, including holding several meetings and meeting with a few clients.
There was no overtime work. Just when Liu Cheng thought life was about to get back on track, a calm, cold voice came from behind him, "Go to Ye Qingqian's villa."
These words jolted Liu Cheng awake from his reverie, leaving him momentarily stunned.
"Your reactions are getting slower and slower. If you can't handle it, we can always find someone else."
The man's voice was cold and unapproachable. The carriage suddenly turned icy cold.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Feng, it won't happen again next time." Liu Cheng quickly started the car and drove smoothly to Ye Qingqian's villa.
Without needing instructions from the big boss, just block the garage door.
When Ye Qingqian returned home from work, she saw Feng Jue's car in the distance and initially didn't intend to pay any attention to it. However, seeing that he shamelessly blocked the garage door, forcing her to get out of the car, she decided to ignore him.
Feng Jue got out of the car expressionlessly, his slender fingers lightly tapping on the car window. "Miss Ye, let's talk."
The man's handsome face was almost expressionless, as if he had only come to discuss cooperation with her.
Even though the garage was blocked, Ye Qingqian still had to get out of the car. Once out, she didn't even glance at the man and walked straight ahead.
"Ms. Ye, I know your company is currently bidding on a government project. If you continue with this attitude, I guarantee you won't win the project."
Ye Qingqian suddenly stopped in her tracks and glared fiercely at the man.
She finally understood why Su Xi wanted to run away from such a stunningly handsome, wealthy, and domineering CEO.
"President Feng, I've already explained Xixi's situation very clearly over the phone."
Feng Jue's voice was cold. "I don't think such an important matter can be explained clearly over the phone."
He couldn't see her expression over the phone, but if he asked her face-to-face, he could tell at a glance whether she was lying.
Ye Qingqian laughed in exasperation, "No matter what, you're asking me for a favor, and this is how you ask for help?"
Feng Jue raised an eyebrow. "You know very well that if I ask you to meet, you won't agree. If it weren't for this attitude, you wouldn't say a word."
Ye Qingqian choked, knowing that this man wouldn't give her any face because of her. If he really interfered in the bidding process, it would be a very troublesome matter for them.
She didn't intend to invite the man in; she simply stood there with her arms crossed and repeated the story.
When she said, "I don't know where Su Xi went," the man suddenly interrupted her, his voice so cold it seemed to freeze the air, "Miss Ye, you're lying."
When the woman said this, her eyes were noticeably unfocused, and there were other subtle body language movements that led Feng Jue to conclude that she was lying.
Ye Qingqian's expression changed. Everyone said that Feng Jue's eyes were like a scanner, and now it was indeed true. However, this scanner seemed to be ineffective on Su Xi.
That's all I know.
"Miss Ye, my patience is limited."
Ye Qingqian said impatiently, "I've already said that's all I know."
Feng Jue sneered, "I trust my intuition."
"Your intuition can be wrong sometimes. Otherwise, you wouldn't have failed to notice that Xixi wanted to leave without saying goodbye."
These words seemed to touch a nerve with the man, and the air around him instantly turned icy cold. If the other person hadn't been Su Xi's best friend, he would have had a hundred ways to make her obediently spill everything she knew.
"Since Miss Ye is not cooperating, then you can forget about that government bidding project. Tianjue will snatch up every single one of Ye's partners until Ye goes bankrupt."
Ye Qingqian clenched her fists suddenly. "Are you threatening me?"
"Just a warning."
Suddenly, the sound of leather shoes scraping the ground came from not far away. "Isn't it a bit unmanly for Mr. Feng to warn a woman like that?"
Seeing Chu Xu, dressed in a sharp suit, approaching, Feng Jue's eyes narrowed slightly. Ye Qingqian's eyes also flashed with surprise.
The two men's eyes met in mid-air, one icy cold, the other aloof.
"It seems the Chu family is also planning to go bankrupt."
Ye Qingqian quickly gave Chu Xu a meaningful look. Feng Jue might show some leniency towards her out of consideration for Su Xi, but towards others, he was ruthless, like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Chu Xu stepped forward, shielding Ye Qingqian behind him. "President Feng, feel free to try. However, it's quite disappointing that the renowned President Feng handles problems in such a crude and direct manner."
Feng Jue sneered, but then he suddenly remembered that Su Xi had mentioned Chu Xu and had a very good impression of him, and wanted to match him up with Ye Qingqian.
If the two of them were together, Ye Qingqian and Su Xi would be as close as sisters, and he would be considered half her brother-in-law.
So Feng Jue patiently explained, "She's Su Xi's best friend, not mine. I don't know her at all. How would I know if she's deliberately hiding Su Xi to do something detrimental to her?"
"If Su Xi hides Ye Qingqian away and deliberately conceals it from you, making all sorts of excuses and stubbornly denying it, what would you do?"
Ye Qingqian pouted. This icy-faced guy's words were really awful. He was the one who was stubborn, and his whole family was stubborn.
Chu Xu smiled. "That's a problem with President Feng's own abilities. I believe you've encountered things a thousand times more difficult to solve in the business world, but you've resolved them perfectly. Why is it that here, all you see are threats? Could it be that President Feng's abilities have deteriorated after his injury?"
"Are you looking for death?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Liu Cheng, standing to the side, couldn't help but shiver.
"Liu Cheng, stop him. I have something to say to Miss Ye."
Liu Cheng walked over and gestured for him to step aside, "President Chu, please make way for me."
"Get out of the way!"
The two started fighting over a disagreement.
Ye Qingqian was utterly stunned. Although Chu Xu regularly worked out and loved sports, beating Gong Shaofan was a piece of cake for him, but he was at a disadvantage against Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng quickly pulled him back 50 meters away.
Seeing that Chu Xu seemed to have a bruise on his face, Ye Qingqian said coldly, "Feng Jue, don't push your luck."
"Miss Ye, I apologize for my attitude just now."
Ye Qingqian's eyes widened. Feng Jue actually apologized. It was truly a miracle.
Feng Jue deliberately softened his tone, "There's something I hope Miss Ye will keep secret. I just found out that I'm not a member of the Feng family. If Su Xi knew this, do you think she would still leave?"
"Are you serious?" Ye Qingqian could hardly believe her ears.
Feng Jue took out his phone and showed her the forensic report. Confirming that it was all true, Ye Qingqian was in a daze for a moment before continuing, "Xixi has already told me that you hit and killed her mother with your car. Do you think there's still a possibility between you two?"
“Those involved are often blinded. Let me explain in detail; this car accident really has nothing to do with me.” Feng Jue pointed out the suspicious points one by one. In particular, Feng Hanhai’s clever but misguided attempt to prove the accident was a clear frame-up, which further proved Feng Jue’s innocence.
Ye Qingqian froze on the spot. As an outsider, she was even more convinced that Feng Jue had nothing to do with the car accident, and even less to do with Su's mother's death.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "Su Xi went to Z country. As for whether she had any luck in Z country or where she went, I don't know."
Feng Jue carefully observed the woman's expression.
After the woman finished speaking, she looked at Chu Xu, who was still wrestling with Liu Cheng, twisting and turning like a pretzel, swaying rhythmically. Ye Qingqian burst out laughing at the sight.
She felt it was very unfair of her, but she just couldn't help it.
Feng Jue didn't notice anything unusual about Ye Qingqian's expression, but the fact that she turned to watch two men fight while discussing such an important matter, and even laughed, was clearly abnormal. It suggested she was deliberately trying to hide her anxiety and shifty gaze.
Unable to break free, Chu Xu finally lost his temper and delivered a powerful blow to Liu Cheng's eye. Liu Cheng retaliated, landing a punch that left Chu Xu with a black eye.
The two went from pulling at each other to fighting, and the fight escalated to a visible level.
Feng Jue rubbed his temples. "Liu Cheng, let him go."
It must be said, the fight between these two men was quite a spectacle. Their faces were fierce, yet they held back their strength, each giving the other a sharp poke. Feng Jue, thus dispelling his suspicions about Ye Qingqian, decided to call it a day, exchanged a few polite words, and left by car.
"Send someone to country Z to investigate Su Xi's whereabouts. If you find her, do not disturb her."
"Yes, Mr. Feng." Liu Cheng squinted, his eyes puffing out like a black bear. This aftereffect really hurt. He should have known better than to hold back.
On the other side, Ye Qingqian invited Chu Xu to the villa, and the maid brought out peeled boiled eggs and left.
Ye Qingqian picked up a boiled egg, and the moment she looked at Chu Xu, she was amused by his blindfold hammer.
He laughed so hard he looked like an old car, and even the boiled egg in his hand fell out of his hand.
Before she knew it, her body suddenly slid off the sofa. Chu Xu quickly reached out to catch her, and the two of them rolled onto the carpet together.
They actually touched lips to lips.
Ye Qingqian froze for a moment, her ears turning red instantly. She placed her hands against the man's chest, trying to push him away.
Seeing the woman's flushed face, Chu Xu's breathing became erratic. He grabbed the woman's shoulders and, disregarding everything else, suddenly deepened the kiss.
A sweet, candied fruit flavor spread throughout the mouth.
Ye Qingqian's mind went blank for a moment; she was angry.
"Thud—"
The sound of a file falling rang out. This was followed by a panicked, confused voice, "What are you doing?"
