That night, at the hotel. Jin Fengchen was quietly sitting on a chair. There was a laptop in front of him, and there was information about underground research facilities in Italy displayed on the screen. Meanwhile, Gu Nian was seated on the sofa. There was someone else next to him. It was He Shuhan. The lights in the room were on and it was so quiet one could hear a pin drop. At that moment, there was a clear knocking at the window. Jin Fengchen clearly heard it, but he ignored it. He continued to scrutinize the information displayed on the screen intently. It was Gu Nian who hurriedly drew the curtains and saw the black-clad figures hanging on from the window. At a glance, it was rather startling. Gu Nian was very calm. After he opened the window, he took a few steps back. The two black-clad men climbed in and began to undo the ropes around their waists. These were the specialists who had infiltrated the SA Group’s research facility. The only thing different about th
He Shuhan acknowledged the instructions. He chatted with Jin Fengchen for a while more before he left. Only Gu Nian and Jin Fengchen were left in the room, which had returned to it’s original silence. Jin Fengchen leaned against the chair, somewhat tired. He massaged his brows, thinking of what he had discussed with He Shuhan just now. If they could find what they were looking for, that would be great. However, if they could not… What would become of Sese? Gu Nian looked at Jin Fengchen who was still silent, and he asked, “Young Master, when will we be returning home?” Jin Fengchen collected his thoughts and said, “Not too soon. Qi Sha hasn’t made a move yet.” He missed Jiang Sese and the two children a lot. However, for the sake of Jiang Sese regaining her health, he had no choice but to abandon his feelings. He had to finish this first. Gu Nian nodded in response. “That’s right, over the past two nights Qi Sha has been making moves, constantly looking for the pers
Jin Fengchen looked at Jiang Sese helplessly. He had not yet begun to guess when he heard the two children giggling. The sound grew louder and louder. “Hahaha, daddy’s a dumb-dumb, he can’t guess…” Tiantian teased her daddy honestly, and Xiaobao joined in on the fun. Jin Fengchen huffed. “You two rascals, you’ve grown fearless after three days without a spanking?” Jiang Sese laughed and reminded the children, “Do you hear that? If you keep laughing, daddy will spank you when he’s back.” “Oh, daddy, don’t spank me! I’ll be good, I won’t laugh!” Tiantian sat up immediately and climbed into Jiang Sese’s arms. She got into the frame and promised Jin Fengchen. Xiaobao did the same. Jin Fengchen laughed and he said, “Okay, how could I hit you guys? However, the both of you must be good, don’t disturb mommy while she’s resting. Got it?” “We know!” The two children nodded obediently. When they were being noisy they could bring the house down, but they could be very obedien
John’s expression was terrible. He gripped the table tightly with both hands, so much so that his veins were showing. The group of employees did not even dare breathe. They were afraid of drawing John’s anger and becoming a target of his rage. “What are you all doing staring at me?” The employees were all standing dumbly, unsure what John’s words meant. “What are you still doing standing around? Why aren’t you going to investigate? No matter what, we must get to the bottom of this, especially everyone inside. Have them all investigated, don’t leave anybody out!” The group paused, and their faces all changed to pained expressions.Furthermore, there was a heaviness in the air. Everybody felt uncomfortable at what John had said. Especially since these people in the office had been with John for so long. However, today John was heaping suspicion on them. John could sense the change in atmosphere to something that was uncommon. He added, “It’s not that I don’t trust you, b
As the three trucks came close to the warehouse, there was a sudden clamoring from the alleyway where the warehouse was located. Screams of men followed by the clash of metal on metal. “All of you, don’t even dream of running away!” It was unclear who said this, but a few men came running out of the alley with panicked looks. They were holding meter-long steel pipes in their hands. They were looking behind them nervously as they ran. “Don’t think you can get away!” Another group of men came running after them, they had metal bars in their hands too. The two groups clashed again. It was bedlam, and it was impossible to tell who was on which side. However, it was very clear that one side was at a disadvantage. When one of them saw that they had no way of winning, he pulled a knife out and slashed an oil barrel next to the road. The air started to fill with the thick odour of gasoline. Everybody stopped and turned when they smelled the gasoline. The man simply pulled out
John rushed to the scene to see the desolation. He nearly fainted, his temples were throbbing in pain. “What the hell is going on?” John roared. “Mr. John…” Pierce approached him fearfully. He had just gotten close when he was kicked to the ground. “Idiot!” John’s face was terrible as he glared at Pierce. The fire in his eyes looked like it was capable of burning people up. “I’m sorry Mr. John, I did not do this properly.” Pierce ignored the pain. He climbed up and lowered his head in guilt and fear. “Did not do this properly?” John huffed coldly. His glare was as sharp as a dagger. “The herbs are all destroyed by fire, and you say that so easily?” Pierce lowered his head and did not say another word. His silence infuriated John even more. He reached out to grab Pierce by the collar and forced him to look at him. “Pierce, tell me, what do we do now?” John said through grit teeth, spitting each word one by one. Pierce moved his mouth, as though he was going to say
“We can’t afford to let them find out that I’m the one behind this, so you’re going to have to reveal yourself.” Jin Fengchen thought for a moment, before he spoke. “I have to reveal myself?” Qisha could not control herself anymore. She jumped up like a spooked cat. “Jin, even though I decided to take responsibility for this, it’s too cruel for you to so callously suggest I do!” She was beside herself with anger as she looked at him in disbelief. She thought about how she had done so much for him and never demanded any gratitude; was there a need for him to be so cruel? Jin Fengchen was very calm in the face of her agitation. He poured a glass of red wine and took a sip. He looked at her, his lips curled slightly. “What responsibility? Aren’t you doing this to get revenge for your subordinates?” “I--” Qisha really wanted to retort, but he had spoken the truth. She could only admit it. Jin Fengchen continued, “Therefore, all I’m hoping for is for the hate to be contained; if
John continued, “Mr. Feng, our company’s research facility was infiltrated two days ago.” John looked at Jin Fengchen from time to time, refusing to miss out on even his most minute reaction. Jin Fengchen was extremely surprised to hear that the research facility had been infiltrated. “The research facility, infiltrated? How can that be?” John looked at him silently. Jin Fengchen feared it would be ineffective to keep pretending to be oblivious.Therefore, he thought for a moment before he asked half-jokingly, “Mr. John, do you suspect me?” John was still silent. He had always suspected Jin Fengchen. From their recent exchange, his suspicions had only increased. Jin Fengchen had not revealed anything in his words or his reactions. That just made him even more suspicious. It was now time to see what else he had to say. Jin Fengchen lowered his eyes, his gaze resting on the hand on his leg. In a moment, the air turned dead silent.His face was calm, and there was noth
