“The most obvious motive? Since when did you become a private investigator?” Qi Feng sneered as he took the glass of water from the side and had a few sips to get rid of the taste of the blood in his mouth, but it barely did anything.

“Didn’t I learn that from you? I still have to thank you for that.” Qi Lei also loosened up a little. He said to Qi Feng with a mocking smile, “The more you want something, the harder it is to get it. You’ll know what it’s like sooner or later.”

“Really? So, are you declaring war on me?” Qi Feng sneered as he raised his gaze and looked at Qi Lei silently.

“Do you think you’re even worthy of that?” Qi Lei smirked. “Comparing myself to a scumbag like you will only bring me down.”

Qi Feng grew tense.

“I’ve learned something new. You talk just like your mother. Anyway, no matter what, I won’t lose, Qi Feng. Don’t you like gambling? Now, would you dare to bet against me one more time? Let’s bet that I’m going to take over the Qi Kai Group successfully,” Qi Feng said as he lowered his head and took a sip of water.

Qi Lei’s eyes darkened and he stared at Qi Feng quietly.

“What? Are you scared?” Qi Feng smiled as he slowly put the cup in his hand down.

Qi Lei glanced at Qi Feng before reaching for the half-filled cup of water in front of him and tilted it. The water in the cup spilled and wet Qi Feng’s face, but he did not say anything. Instead, he just stared at Qi Lei quietly.

Qi Lei then threw the cup in his hand towards Qi Feng. As a result, the cup fell and broke right in front of him, but Qi Lei seemed unbothered.

“Okay, let’s see how you take over the company. This isn’t just a bet. You’re not afraid of death, and neither am I! I’ve got nothing to lose, but you do!”

“Shall the loser leave City Z?” Qi Feng said with a disdainful smile.

“And leave empty-handed!” Qi Lei added.

“Very well. It’s a deal! For the sake of our brotherhood, I won’t let you leave penniless even if you lose.”

“We don’t know who’s going to lose! Let’s wait and see!” Qi Lei sneered and suddenly turned his head to look at Qi Feng before spinning around again. Qi Feng frowned slightly, and before he could react, Qi Lei had already made a fist and swung at him again.

Bam!

Qi Feng grunted as he fell down with his chair.

“This is the price you’ll have to pay for overrating yourself!” Qi Lei mocked as he shook his aching hand.

Qi Feng spat some blood out pathetically and clenched his fists as he tried to stand up. If his legs were strong enough to stand up, he would have definitely given Qi Lei a few punches without hesitation! However, Qi Lei did not give him the opportunity as he immediately turned around and walked towards the door.

“Qi Lei!” Gu Lingsha called out after waiting outside for a long time. The door sprung open and Morrison was with her too.

Qi Lei did not even look at them as he walked past them coldly.

“Qi Lei!” Gu Lingsha called out for him again as she turned to face Qi Lei’s back, but he did not seem to slow down at all. In the blink of an eye, his figure had disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

“First Master!”

When Morrison rushed into the office first, he saw Qi Feng struggling to stand up as he tried to push himself up by pressing on the table. He quickly rushed over to help Qi Feng up.

However, Qi Feng avoided him and gritted his teeth before he stood up on his own. Morrison could only help him hold his chair.

“Ah Feng! Are you okay?” Gu Lingsha asked worriedly. Her eyebrows furrowed when she saw bloodstains on his face.

However, Qi Feng had a stern expression as he sat on the chair quietly. The emotions in his eyes seemed complicated and unusual.

Meanwhile, Qi Qiming was still unconscious at the hospital.

The sky had already fallen dark. The lights outside were starting to be turned on and they illuminated the city.

Wang Chun and Yang Sheng were watching over Qi Qiming outside the ward through the glass window. He was still lying unconscious on the hospital bed.

Earlier today, the attending physician, Liang Jing, had come over to examine him again and she had told them that he was not doing too well. The patient’s pulse was very weak, so they were given a notice of critical illness.

Wang Chun was extremely worried because Qi Lei was not there, and he had already called Qi Feng but he had not seen him yet.

It had felt manageable earlier since Mu Yuchen had been there, thus he seemed to feel more at ease. Now that Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye had gone back, only two of them were left and this made them anxious.

“How could this have happened? He suffered such serious injuries…Why did Glenn come back for President Qi? I don’t understand!” Yang Sheng obviously did not know about Qi Qiming’s plan. He had recently noticed the change in Qi Qiming’s attitude , thus he started to see him differently. There seemed to be less prejudice now and more sympathy instead.

“I’m afraid it was premeditated.” Wang Chun was still worried and although there was some uncertainty in his tone. He actually felt desolate as he thought about what Qi Qiming said before he lost consciousness. Did he have a change of heart?

Wang Chun certainly did not expect to see Qi Lei rush forward and hold Qi Qiming when the accident happened. If President Qi could have seen it, he would have been overjoyed…

“President Qi…I really hope he’ll make it through…” Yang Sheng mumbled.

“President Qi is very happy with what the Second Master has achieved. In fact, President Qi has always been unhappy about President Wang’s matters. He said that he doesn’t like being emotional, but I think that President Wang holds a place in his heart. He just didn’t want to admit it,”

When Wang Chun said this, Yang Sheng listened silently, but for some reason, he felt bitterness in his heart.

If that really was the case, then this father and son were actually quite similar!

Qi Lei also initially thought that he did not care about his mother, Wang Qin.

Why did people often learn how to cherish something only after they have lost it?

“President Qi is actually very stubborn. I’ve been by his side for many years and I’ve never seen him bow his head, let alone admit his mistakes. Still, he’s someone who will change once he realizes his mistakes and I think you can probably feel it too. Even I’m surprised by how President Qi has changed…”
