Chapter 0023 – Piercing (1 / 2)

Just as he was about to hang up, the person on the other end eagerly added, “Young Master Qi, that Mrs. Fang’s maiden backstage is the Guo family.”

“The Kuo family?”

Qi Zhiyu took a deep drag on his cigarette, his eyes glittering with consideration, “Is the information reliable?”

“A thousand times over.”

This meant that the matter was not at Qi Zhiyu’s disposal.

The aide tentatively suggested, “Young Master Qi, perhaps the Young Lady should be consulted first? There may be other hidden agendas hidden here.”

“No need, you don’t have to care about this. Do as I tell you, the district is just a Fang family, if the Guo family loses this pawn, they will find a new one.”

In his eyes, it was all just a power game, and the presence or absence of pawns had minimal impact.

“Understood.”

The aide answered and the call ended with it.

Qi Zhiyu hung up the phone and turned to step inside the treatment room.

At this time, Su Wanqing’s wounds had been properly treated, leaving only faint red marks, proving the true existence of the previous storm.

He slowly walked to her side, gently pulling up her soft, boneless, white and translucent hand, his brows locked, his voice mixed with reproach and care, “Eat your fill, stay at home properly, where else would you have all these inexplicable worries and rights and wrongs?!”

His words were heavy, but full of affection for her.

The wounds that were so clearly visible on that delicate arm stung in his eyes, as if a sharp blade had cut through his heart.

Every bruise was a silent accusation of his lack of protection.

His furrowed brow revealed a hint of displeasure as he inquired, almost unkindly, “Thinking of going to the studio again?”

She smiled slightly as Su Wanqing drew back her hand, an independent and indifferent air flowing between her movements.

She tilted her head and gave him a soft but firm smile, as if to say that she had everything under control.

“What exactly is the entanglement between you and that Fonzie?”

His concern was probing, and as he spoke, he naturally took off his own jacket and gently draped it over her shoulders.

The faint smell of tobacco remaining on that jacket quietly blended into the air, quietly drilling into Su Wanqing’s nostrils, causing her to involuntarily shiver slightly.

“Fonzie had previously received a large order for over 100,000 pieces of clothing, which for some reason was suddenly canceled by the other party. He was desperate to find someone to take over, so he approached us at Misty Wells. At first I didn’t agree, I always felt that there was something fishy in this matter. But Zhou Yaoshi had already promised him privately, and Fang Zhi knew that I was the one who would make the final decision in Misty Wells, so he set up a banquet to discuss cooperation through Zhou Yaoshi as a middleman. After a meal, I sensed Fang Zhi’s sincerity to cooperate and agreed.”

Her words were calm but hid waves, “Today’s entertainment newspaper headlines, if it wasn’t for Mrs. Fang’s fuss, I’d still be in the dark.”

Su Wanqing felt more and more that there were dark currents behind this matter, “It’s indeed a bit abnormal for the paparazzi to pay so much attention to a rising middle-class entrepreneur.”

“Yes, illogical indeed.”

Qi Zhiyu echoed, and after a moment of silence, he promised, “I will have my men investigate this matter, and I will inform you as soon as I have any news.”

She nodded softly, but her expression hid an unspeakable complexity.

At this exact moment, the latest news came from the mouth of a patient who was hurriedly passing by, “Oops, I heard that there were two serious public safety incidents in the river city today.”

“Multiple people were injured in the streets, as if it was a malicious retaliatory action against the community.”

Su Wanqing’s heart flinched at the words, Jiang Cheng?

That was the place where Knight Yanzhou was about to go on a business trip!

Qi Zhiyu sensed the worry in her eyes and her eyes flickered, “What’s wrong?”

She quickly gathered her emotions and met his probing gaze, her hands gently interlocked in her lap, “It’s nothing, I just felt a little alarmed when I heard it earlier.”

“Jiangcheng’s law and order is not supposed to be peaceful, and this kind of thing is not uncommon.”
