1352 Racked Her Brains? 2Qi Feng’s tone was cold, and he did not look too happy.

Neither did Doris discuss with him, nor did she get his agreement to arrange for Gu Lingsha and Qi Weier to fly off to England. He knew very well what she was planning. Apart from her own plans, it was probably to put her guard up against him.

On one hand, it was meant to test how much he cared for Gu Lingsha and Qi Weier. Secondly, if he acted out of the ordinary over here, she still had Gu Lingsha and Qi Weier in her hands!

Qi Feng was smart too. He could obviously tell her intentions while Doris knew that very well too.

“I know you’re still unhappy about the matter with Shasha, but at the very least, don’t you think that Shasha leaving this troubled place is a better idea? Your relationship with her is so tensed right now. It’s good for the two of you to calm down,” Doris said indifferently.

The sneer on Qi Feng’s face deepened. If he had not known how unhappy she had been with him before this, he would have really believed her words, but right now, it was clearly not the same. Qi Feng would become very passive. He had underestimated this woman. She never had quite a position back then, but now…

Nevertheless, now that the whole thing was at this stage, even if Qi Feng wanted to do anything, it seemed quite useless. He could only do his best to cooperate with Doris unless he did not care about abandoning Gu Lingsha and Weiwei, or about how Qi Qiming would go after with him if he found out about his involvement in Qi Lei’s incident.

“Mother, you know very well how Shasha and I are. You’ve never liked me, have you?” Qi Feng smiled coldly.

“Not everyone is like Father, or like Grandfather and Grandmother. You shouldn’t impose your experiences on me and Shasha. What you went through can only represent your own experience. On what basis are you rejecting me?”

At this point, Qi Feng suddenly got quite unhappy. If it were not for Doris, she and Gu Lingsha might not have needed to waste so much time taking winding roads.

However, when she heard Qi Feng, Doris only laughed and said unconcernedly, “Isn’t that how relationships are? What else do you think you can do? Do you think you’re different? If that’s truly so, why did the name Xi Xiaye appear between the two of you?”

Xi Xiaye?

Qi Feng paused. His expression did not quite change though his gaze darkened. He then laughed grimly. “Such baseless accusations. Are all women’s paranoia this terrifying?”

When he recalled the fall out with Gu Lingsha, he could not help but hold back a bitter smile.

Two people had gone through so much together, yet he did not expect the trust between them to be thin as a white sheet. What was more mocking and hurtful than this truth?

He could not say that he had no feelings towards Gu Lingsha. All along, he had always respected her very much, and they shared many happy events. All these beautiful memories had made a mark that could not be erased in Qi Feng’s lonely heart, what more now that they had a daughter together.

Qi Feng did not understand why Gu Lingsha and Doris would think that he…

Was it because of Xi Xiaye?

A bitter smile flashed on the corner of Qi Feng’s smile, and it looked like it was filled with taunting.

He was actually very clear about what kind of woman suited him. He admitted that he admired Xi Xiaye. Sometimes, he would also be envious of Mu Yuchen’s good luck, but a woman like Xi Xiaye did not suit him. He was aware of his controlling nature, and he would always be sure to control his heart.

Besides, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye were in love with each other, and that was not something that could be easily incited with little tricks.

As he thought about that, and then reflected on himself, Qi Feng felt fatigue descend on himself…

“As someone who’s not understood, even if I explain myself more, it’s useless. Shasha and I have been together for many years. I’ve always thought that she would understand me more than anyone else, but it looks like that might not be the case. Understanding someone doesn’t seem to be proportionate to time.” Qi Feng smiled coldly. He did not want to keep talking about this, so he turned to look at Doris silently. “Why have you asked to see me so urgently?”

Doris caught sight of all of Qi Feng’s reactions. Right now, from his reactions, she could seem to spot some unhappiness. Doris thought about it and did not know if he actually had real feelings for her daughter. However, if Qi Feng were to say that he was with Lingsha solely for love, she would not have believed it for miles.

Since this was not the time to make things unhappy, she stopped in moderation and got back to the important things.

“I have bad news. I have to tell you so that you can be prepared.” Doris lowered her head to sip the tea while her voice became gloomy.

“What is it?” When he saw that Doris’s expression had suddenly turned solemn, Qi Feng stopped what he was doing and silently stared at her. He had a bad feeling.

Doris sighed and said in a heavy voice, “I received news yesterday that Mu Lingmo and Qi Lei have escaped. My people have been going around to ask, but still, they haven’t found them. I have a bad feeling about this. Thankfully, they brought them deep into the mountains. If they want to get out, it won’t be easy for them either. At this point, it’s becoming unfavorable for us. What do you think we should do right now?”

Doris’s tone was clearly a little dispirited when she spoke as she lifted a hand to massage the throb between her brows, but she still squinted at Qi Feng.

Escaped?

Upon hearing this, Qi Feng was not actually shocked because when Doris anxiously asked him to come over, he had already had some guesses of his own, and that included this one, of course.

His handsome face appeared slightly tense while his eyes fell silent.

“Does that mean that it’s been exposed then?” Qi Feng’s brows were raised as he fixed his gaze on Doris’s face.

“We still don’t have news yet, so it probably doesn’t count. I’ve gotten Glenn to make sure all the nearby roads are put under surveillance. As long as they appear, we’ll take them down right away.”

“Mother, I’ll advise you not to busy yourself with that. Mu Lingmo and Qi Lei aren’t dumb. I’m afraid they would’ve contacted Mu Yuchen by now. Perhaps, this bold decision was our miscalculation right from the start. What did Father say?” Qi Feng did not forget the reason why Doris had done all of this.

“Yesterday morning, I went to look for him…”

At the mention of Gu Qiwu, Doris’s expression did not look great. Based on this, Qi Feng could already guess the results.

“He must be working with Mu Yuchen. Otherwise, knowing him, he wouldn’t have sat there so calmly.”
