There was a moment of silence during the call.
Gong Chengjue clearly didn't expect Su Ziqing to bring this up suddenly.
This kind of thing is actually quite secretive, otherwise the whole street would know, and where would the Gong family's face be? Even in the underworld, this kind of order is not something that ordinary people can know.
So when Su Ziqing suddenly found out, Gong Chengjue was very surprised, and Su Ziqing's tone didn't sound like a question, but rather like she was confirming something with him.
One second... two seconds...
Su Ziqing waited quietly for his answer.
"Yes." Gong Chengjue gave this affirmative answer after a long silence.
Su Ziqing's lips trembled slightly. "You've never said that, Gong Chengjue, that I have no right to interfere in any of your affairs, and then afterwards you casually say it's for my own good?"
Despite carrying such a kill order, he remained completely unfazed, and even his bodyguards didn't notice him increase his holdings.
And when he came to her company yesterday, he came up alone...
Did he think her company was safe? The person who takes action can observe every minute of the process and then make arrangements accordingly.
And life... a single second of threat can be earth-shattering!
Su Ziqing was furious at the thought of how casual he had been. Her voice was urgent and angry, but she was also filled with lingering fear.
Even through the phone, Gong Chengjue could feel her anger, even though she was thousands of miles away.
His voice remained gentle as he said, "I'm afraid I'll scare you."
"Heh." She chuckled coldly.
"And... I was going to tell you this, but you were so determined to break up with me in the hospital, I didn't have time to say it."
Listen to this, and now it's her fault?
Su Ziqing responded with another cold laugh.
"Really." When he rescued her from Country L, he did intend to tell her everything, without hiding anything, but later...
"Then why didn't you say so yesterday?" He didn't say anything about something so important and dangerous.
Gong Chengjue looked somewhat innocent. "Yesterday... if I had brought this up out of the blue, would you have just told me to go die?"
Su Ziqing: "..." She was so angry. After all that talking, it had become her mistake.
Gong Chengjue couldn't help but smile slightly. "You're worried about me, aren't you? Don't worry, I..."
"What am I worried about!" Su Ziqing growled irritably. "Your Mr. Gong is omnipotent, you can control everything and manipulate events at will!"
She was almost at a loss for words to use to satirize him.
Lu Linghong, standing to the side, wondered if they were flirting.
What happened to the worry and fear you were supposed to feel?
He gently poked Su Ziqing and mouthed, "Ask about Senior Brother Feng."
Su Ziqing realized she had been influenced by Gong Chengjue, so she changed her tone and asked seriously, "Bring more bodyguards, understand?!"
"I know," he chuckled.
"This is no joke, how can you still laugh?!" It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are dying of anxiety.
Gong Chengjue also adopted a serious tone, "I know, and I've been dealing with this matter." It's just that there are no results yet.
"How did you find out about this?" Gong Chengjue asked.
Such confidential information was known to very few people in the Gong family. How did Su Ziqing, who was in City A, find out?
"Did Senior Brother Feng pull some strings to get this order postponed for a month?" Su Ziqing asked directly, without beating around the bush.
"Feng Xixuan told you?" After saying that, Gong Chengjue felt it was impossible. Although Feng Xixuan and he didn't like each other, they had an unspoken understanding that there were some things they didn't plan to tell Su Ziqing.
It only adds to their fear and worry, and doesn't offer any real help.
However, upon hearing this, Su Ziqing was absolutely certain that Feng Xixuan and Gong Chengjue had indeed conspired together!
Don't they want to beat each other up whenever they see each other?
So how come they're working together now?
"When did you two first meet?" She racked her brains, and the only time she could think of it was that night when he came to her house and she asked Feng Xixuan to bring back some late-night snacks.
Feng Xixuan left the next day. At the time, it didn't seem strange, since he was always flying around. But now that I think about it, it's completely different.
As expected, Gong Chengjue confessed honestly!
"So, in your deal, you provided him with information about the kitten, and he suspended the kill order for a month?" Su Ziqing felt a pang of heartache.
Both of them are people she cares about and who are very important to her. This kind of information, which clearly doesn't need to be 'traded', has turned into a transaction. Are they trying to drive her crazy?
"Why don't you just say you have news about the kitten? You know Senior Brother Feng has been looking for the kitten all along!!"
"He doesn't like me, and of course, I hate him too." So why did he reveal the news?
He is not a universal savior.
Su Ziqing was somewhat speechless.
The news about the kitten is definitely more than just a piece of news. To put it simply, if someone provides information about the kitten, becoming rich overnight is not a dream.
She even suspected that Gong Chengjue was deliberately holding onto this trump card.
After a long silence, she finally uttered, "How can you be so stingy?"
Gong Chengjue: "..."
"Senior Brother Feng might be in trouble now. Do you know exactly where he is?" Su Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't have much hope. After all, even if Feng Xixuan and he had made a 'deal', they probably weren't close enough to exchange whereabouts.
However……
"I know," Gong Chengjue said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Su Ziqing looked up at Lu Linghong, her voice rising several decibels, "You know?"
OMG, does he have feelings for Senior Brother Feng that she doesn't know about?
Gong Chengjue hummed in response, "What's wrong?"
"Can you get in touch with him?" Su Ziqing felt her breath catch in her throat. Gong Chengjue knew Feng Xixuan's whereabouts, so things shouldn't be as terrible as Chenxi said.
She was indeed blinded by concern, mainly because the things that had happened these past few days were not things that ordinary people would encounter, so she started to think about the darker side of things.
"I guess so, but it'll take some time," Gong Chengjue said in a calm tone. "You're looking for him?"
Before Su Ziqing could say anything, he added, "Ziqing, you can come to me if you need anything." He really minded Feng Xixuan being her 'golden finger'!
The one who should be using cheats is him.
Feng Xixuan has stolen his spotlight many times.
Su Ziqing had no time to guess Gong Chengjue's inexplicable thoughts of turning into a jealous person. She said very seriously, "Help me contact him, as soon as possible."
Then Su Ziqing hung up the phone.
Gong Chengjue: "..." That's it?
Wait, isn't something missing?
Over here, Su Ziqing looked at Lu Linghong and said, "What Chenxi said might be a trick against us."
Lu Linghong nodded. "That's why I'm telling you, you need to calm down."
Su Ziqing stuck out her tongue somewhat awkwardly, "So many things have happened lately, I'm a bit paranoid."
As they were talking, several people suddenly appeared...
