Chapter 0062 – Undercurrents (2 / 2)

She asked incredulously.

“Of course!”

Qin Ming Xu’s reply was low and firm, and when he glanced at Qi Zhi Iu, his eyes flickered with probing interest again.

And Qi Zhi Iu only responded with a faint smile, without any extra emotions leaking from his deep eyes.

On the way back, the car was silent, and Su Wanqing could clearly feel the heavy breath that surrounded Qi Zhiyu, which was silent worries and thoughts.

“What do you think made Second Master Qin suddenly change his mind?”

Su Wanqing couldn’t help but break the silence, her heart filled with doubts.

Qi Zhi Iu didn’t comment, and she didn’t pursue it any further.

When the night was late, they once again returned to the lodge.

The first thing Su Wanqing did was to confirm the puppy’s condition.

“Ma’am, the puppies are healthy, no need to worry.”

The maid relayed it while adding, “It was also very cooperative with today’s physical examination.”

“That’s good.”

Su Wanqing gently stroked the puppy’s head, giving it gentle comfort, and then got up, heading upstairs to her own room.

The door to the study was ajar, and she, who had planned to rest directly, unconsciously turned in.

“Go and check which people Knight Yanzhou has had contact with recently.”

Qi Zhiyu’s back stood above the balcony, and a low command came from the other end of the phone.

Her heart skipped a beat, as if time had frozen at that moment, and an ominous premonition gathered quickly in her heart like a dark cloud, weighing her down.

The air around them seemed to have gripped with an unsettling silence.

She was about to step inside the door, determined to find out what was going on, when his voice suddenly rang in her ears, cold and firm: “You go and tell Qin Mingxu that if the project in the northern suburbs really falls into the hands of Li Shenyuan, all of YG’s past cooperation with him will be terminated instantly, without half a moment’s hesitation.”

These words were like a heavy hammer that struck Su Wanqing’s heart.

Her feet lurched and her body froze, as if she had been struck by a sudden storm and was unable to move.

The cooperation between Qin Ming Xu and YG, a secret she had never known, was like a thunderbolt that exploded in her mind.

She vaguely sensed a subtle balance of power in Qi Zhiyu’s words.

YG seemed to have the upper hand in her game with Qin Ming Xu, and this discovery left her with mixed feelings.

What kind of undercurrents are hidden behind this?

Is it a tangle of interests or a power play?

All kinds of doubts haunt the mind like a fog, lingering.

Just as she hesitated and wanted to quietly withdraw, Qi Zhi Iu’s cold voice that could not be disobeyed pierced through the air, stabbing straight through like a cold winter wind: “Come here!”

These two simple words, but seemed to carry an irresistible force, causing her footsteps to involuntarily give a start, her body stiffly turned around, and met his gaze that was as sharp as an eagle’s hawk.

Su Wanqing forced herself to calm down and slowly approached him, with a few imperceptible tremors in her voice: “The cooperation between YG and Qin Ming Xu, when did it start?”

Since the matter has been exposed, there is no point in covering it up, so it is better to face it directly.

Qi Zhiyu’s gaze was deep and unfathomable, like a bottomless black hole that sucked everything out of her.

As she drew closer, he yanked and swept her into his arms with an undeniable dominance in that movement.

His lips were close to her ear, and his warm breath was accompanied by a low and urgent inquiry, “When Qin Ming Xu mentioned the Li family, who was the person who came to your mind?”

Su Wanqing’s fingers involuntarily curled slightly, her mind was chaotic, as if her thoughts were interrupted by this sudden intimacy, making it difficult to concentrate.
