Morrison was stunned to hear what Qi Feng said. He quickly turned to look at him.

“Not just here for South River Project No. 2? What else could it be for?” Morrison asked, puzzled.

Qi Feng took the towel to wipe his hands as he smirked coldly. “My instincts tell me that South River Project No. 2 is definitely not his main goal. Otherwise, think about it. From the time we got South River Project No. 2, has he proposed any new plans? South River Project No. 2 is such a huge project. You probably don’t need me to remind you of how much investment it requires.”

Morrison thought about it briefly, then nodded. “Yes, it’s a large scale and everyone worked very hard to get this project. The Hui Gu Corporation has invested a lot too. If it weren’t for the Hui Gu Corporation’s participation, it would’ve been hard for Qi Kai alone to win the bid.”

Qi Feng stopped what he was doing as he thought about it, then asked, “That’s right, but did you know that the person who proposed to collaborate wasn’t my father? It was Gu Qiwu! He hinted for my father to take up the South River Project No. 2. I admit that the development project in South River is quite attractive, many enterprises were going after it, but the fact Gu Qiwu would look all the way here makes me quite suspicious, in fact, he’d delegated for Shasha to personally take on this project.”

“No, Master, I think this doesn’t quite mean anything. Hasn’t he always been wanting to pave the way for you and Miss Lingsha? Perhaps he was just doing that to make way for the two of you. I feel like we’ve always been suspicious of his intentions, but we haven’t seen any motives. Would this suspicion be too much of a stretch?” Morrison pondered, then raised his doubt.

Still, Qi Feng only smiled coldly and the light in his eyes dimmed. “Morrison, do you think that Gu Qiwu’s such a simple person? After going through so much, I don’t believe anyone anymore. Gu Qiwu’s quite reserved with his thoughts. He’s not someone I can easily pry into. One day, you’ll understand. In the many things that have unfolded, we could just be chess pieces, and chess pieces use one another. No one can escape!”

“Chess pieces? Master, what do you mean? Do you mean our relationship with Gu Qiwu?” Morrison lowered his voice to ask.

“Not just us. Mu Yuchen, Qi Lei, and more people too. There are too many conflicts between these people in which we’re all tangled up, so we can only be more careful. Many things aren’t as simple as they seem! Why was Gu Qiwu’s reaction to the South River Project a little lukewarm, yet he stays in City Z? Don’t you find that odd? Putting everything together, it makes me feel a little uneasy.”

Qi Feng’s soft raspy voice sounded solemn. “Plus, this incident was unexpected, so I thought about it again. Maybe we’ve been too careless or we should wait for the right time again.”

“Master, at this point, we don’t have a choice. We can only strategize better and play it by ear. Right now, the marriage between the Qi and the Gu families must happen, especially if the relationship between you, Miss Lingsha, and Miss Weiwei is exposed. I’m worried that there’ll be another storm. We might as well take this chance to settle this before everything is revealed.”

When Morrison said this, Qi Feng suddenly interrupted him, “Wait!”

“Master, what is it?” Morrison looked in shock at Qi Feng.

Qi Feng’s darkened face suddenly flashed with a sinister smile and his dark eyes shot cold light out. “I think I’ve thought of a good way to make Mu Yuchen pay for this,” he said sinisterly.

“What is it?” Morrison raised his brows and looked eagerly at Qi Feng.

Qi Feng sniggered, seeming quite sly and mysterious now. “I’m suffering from this scar at all times. Mu Yuchen should also feel how it’s like. The more he doesn’t want to remember some things and the more he tries to hide the scar, the more I want to expose him to it. I think many people would be very interested in that accident years ago, and what had happened then. Lingsha and I are the only ones who are clearest about that. He thinks that just because a few years have passed, people will forget everything and all the scars would have smoothened out? He’s being too naive unless he loses both his legs too!”

When Qi Feng said those last few words, he gritted his teeth and the expression on his handsome face looked cold and sinister. Even Morrison could not help but tremble a little despite it being a hot afternoon.

Morrison understood Qi Feng’s hatred towards Mu Yuchen very well. Because of Mu Yuchen, not only did Qi Feng lose his legs in the accident, but he was even disfigured and lost his voice. If it were not for the fact that he had been rescued, Qi Feng might not have made it! Thankfully, he was slightly blessed that he managed to get plastic surgery successfully.

When Qi Feng woke up, he had attempted suicide once. Morrison might not have understood that pain, but even he pitied this man’s bitter experience.

This hatred was not one that could be forgotten in time because Qi Feng, who could not walk, would only hate Mu Yuchen more and more each day. The bitterness would not reduce the slightest bit.

Morrison thought about Qi Feng’s words closely and could roughly understand what he was getting at. He quickly said, “I got it, Master. I’ll arrange for it as soon as possible!”

“Mmm, do it cleanly, but since it’s about this, only those few people will be suspected. I’m not afraid to let Mu Yuchen know that it is my doing! With his actions today, I won’t just leave things at that. We’ve got a long way to go! Mu Yuchen, let’s play then. We’ll see who will have the last laugh!”

As Qi Feng said this, he chuckled cruelly, then turned to Morrison. “Right, you have to watch Ah Mo by Mu Yuchen’s side since he’s skilled. In fact, he’s quite influential in the scene and is very agile. It’s best not to get too close to him, or you might invite trouble. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you about this.” Then, he turned his wheelchair towards the walkway.

Morrison hesitated, but still, he dared not lower his guard. He quickly answered, “Yes, Master! Understood!” and then followed after him.
