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
“Young Master, should we send her away?” Jin Fengchen turned to look at Gu Nian before he shook his head. “No.” “However, Mr. John is surveilling you. I’m afraid it’s improper.” Gu Nian was concerned about the trouble any mistakes might bring. “There’s nothing improper about it. Even if this secretary is not around, he will just send someone else to watch us.” Since John suspected him, there would be others if they sent this secretary away. There was no point in wasting their effort. “There’s no need for you to come along today. Help me keep an eye on any developments at the SA Group.” Gu Nian nodded. “Very well.” Jin Fengchen changed and walked out of the room. He looked at Joey and asked calmly, “What’s good to see in Italy? Why don’t you take me on a tour?” “Alright.” Joey nodded. “Young Master…” Gu Nian was uncomfortable with him going out on his own. Jin Fengchen flashed him a loaded smile. “How could I possibly reject Mr. John’s kindness?” Gu Nian understo
When Joey returned to the office, she immediately went to report to John.“I was with him the entire day. I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.” This was Joey’s conclusion after an entire day’s observation. “Are you sure?” John looked at her with suspicion. Joey pursed her lips before she replied helplessly, “I know you may not believe it, but it’s true.”John frowned. Had he really been overthinking? Could the incident be completely unrelated to Feng Jin? Before he could make sense of it, Pierce came rushing in. Seeing this, John’s face darkened. He looked at Pierce impatiently. “What now?” “I’ve got it!” “You’ve got it?” John paused, before he asked anxiously, “What did you find out?” “We found someone suspicious in the organization.” “Who?” “It’s the janitor who usually cleans the research lab.” John was rather surprised at this answer. “The janitor?” It was no feat to steal drugs from the research lab, which had tight security. How could a lowly ja
After John spoke, the air turned dead silent. There was an invisible pressure that pressed down on them all. John gulped unconsciously. The temperature in the restaurant was very cool, but his back was breaking out into sweat. The man sitting opposite him had a neutral expression. It was impossible to tell his thoughts, but his anger was palpable. “Mr. Bo Gelian…” John said carefully.He had prepared himself before he came, but he still felt fear despite himself. Even though he was older than Bo Gelian, he was not his match in mental acumen and ability. Furthermore Bo Gelian was a ruthless person. It was natural for him to be afraid. Bo Gelian’s eyes were lowered. His gaze was fixed on his fingers which were running along his glass. He was silent, as though he did not hear John. John did not dare speak as well. He simply sat like a statue waiting for Bo Gelian to speak. A few long minutes passed before Bo Gelian slowly looked up at him. “What did you say just now?” H
Qi Sha gave it serious thought, and felt like Jin Fengchen was not wrong. Since they had achieved their aims, there really was no need to sell the medicinal herbs to them. If not they would have to take the effort to destroy it again. “What will you do next?” Qi Sha asked. “Return home.” He missed Sese and the two kids. Seeing the warmth that appeared in his eyes unconsciously, Qi Sha could not help but say mockingly, “You really can’t leave your wife.” Originally, she had thought that Jin Fengchen would be single for the rest of his life given how unbearable his coldness was for any woman. Who would have thought that not only would he be married, but he would also not be cold in front of his wife. He was even very warm and loving. Qi Sha could never have dared to imagine it. That was why to this day she still could not fully believe it. Jin Fengchen ignored her teasing, as he truly was unable to leave Jiang Sese. “When I’m back, help me keep an eye on John. Inform
