1420 Dare to Bet? 2

When Qi Feng heard that, he looked at him in amus.e.m.e.nt.

“You know very well yourself if you’ve truly cared about our kins.h.i.+p all these years.”

Qi Lei’s words made Qi Feng’s eyes fill with an unfathomable depth, and he smiled in disdain. “The person who’s having a fall out with the entire family is you, not me. Aren’t you aware of that?”

“Family? Do you know what family means?” Qi Lei said coldly as he looked up with a fixed gaze at Qi Feng whose face had darkened a little.

“If you don’t believe me, we can do an experiment. Do you dare to bet on it? Bet with me. If you win, I will disappear from your life forever. How about that?” Qi Lei asked, his eyes filled with calm. They seemed to be undisturbed as though it was hard to provoke him at all.

“Bet on what?” Qi Feng squinted at Qi Lei and asked coldly.

Qi Lei’s handsome face flashed with a smile as he reached into his pocket and took out a coin. With both hands put together, he held the coin in his palm. After a while, he split his hands and held two fists.

“Guess which hand has the coin, and I’ll disappear. How about that?” Qi Lei’s tone was calm while he showed his two fists to Qi Feng.

When Qi Feng’s expression tensed, the light in the depth of his eyes turned exceptionally sharp. He stared at Qi Lei’s hands, and moments after that, he looked up at Qi Lei again. His eyes flickered. He stared at those two hands, hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out to grab Qi Lei’s right wrist. As he squinted at Qi Lei, he then opened that hand.

Qi Feng could clearly feel that when he held onto Qi Lei’s cold wrist, the latter had stiffened, so he opened the palm even more certainly, but when he opened up that hand, the palm was empty. There was not a coin in sight!

Qi Feng’s eyes instantly sank, and he subconsciously turned to look at the other hand.

However, at this moment, Qi Lei could not hide his smile though it looked faintly sad. Under Qi Feng’s sharp, watchful gaze, he slowly opened his left hand, which he revealed to be empty as well…

Upon seeing that, Qi Feng’s expression looked terrible. He coldly looked up and squinted at Qi Lei, and you could hear a harshness in his raspy voice as he accused, “Are you messing with me?”

Qi Lei sighed and got up in a relaxed manner while he nonchalantly fixed his sleeve. He said calmly, “That’s right. I’m messing with you. Someone like you doesn’t deserve to be talking about brotherhood. Don’t you just wish for me to disappear? Do you dare say that you didn’t hope to find a coin in that hand?”

These words were like the biting cold blade of a wind, instantly tearing through the mask on Qi Feng’s face. His expression instantly darkened while the fists by his side were clenched tightly as he coldly watched Qi Lei walk out.

“Is this what you’ve come to now, Qi Lei!?”

“Thanks to you! I cared for our brotherhood before this, so I might have held back, but now, I would also like to have found the hand with the coin,” Qi Feng coldly said, then his tall figure vanished on the road ahead.

Qi Feng’s hands that were by his side balled up. After a while, he slowly let go, but by then, Qi Lei was long gone…

…

When Qi Lei returned to the car, Yang Sheng had rushed back as well. Yang Sheng had witnessed the scene from before. Even though he could not hear the brothers’ conversation, he could tell that Qi Feng did not look very happy. Instead, his Master Qi remained unbothered.

He recalled that when he went up, he had b.u.mped into Qi Qiming who had his roundabout way of asking about Qi Lei. Yang Sheng suddenly thought that something was odd, so he could not help but ask, “Master Qi, did First Master say anything to you?”

Qi Lei sighed as he closed his eyes quite calmly. “It’s nothing. Let’s go.”

Yang Sheng sighed to himself too and did not ask further. He just hinted at the chaffeur before the latter slowly started the car and the they drove unhurriedly ahead…

The car drove steadily all the way. After quite a distance, Yang Sheng saw through the rearview mirror that Qi Lei had opened his eyes and was quietly looking out of the car window, so he hesitated before saying softly, “Master Qi, I heard Li Si say yesterday that Gu Qiwu’s matter has been settled, and as expected, he’s gone straight home to City B today. Right, Mu Lingmo and Mu Lings.h.i.+ went with him too. Do you think they will…?”

Before Yang Sheng could finish, Qi Lei had already calmly spoke, “It’s good for them to have left. At least, for them, they can stay far away from this gunpowder-filled battlefield.”

Mu Lings.h.i.+ and Mu Lingmo were people that Mu Lingtian cared about too. No matter what, he and Mu Lingtian were once best friends, and there was his relations.h.i.+p with Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye too. Based on this alone, he hoped for Mu Lings.h.i.+ to do better.

“True, I heard that Gu Qiwu’s planning on letting Mu Lings.h.i.+ take over Hui Gu and only leave a small part for Miss Gu Lingsha. Gu Lingsha hasn’t been in City Z these past few days, so she might not have heard the news of them leaving. I wonder if Mr. Gu intentionally tried to evade her. I hope this matter will be settled just like that since that will be good for us too.”

Yang Sheng was clearly happy with these arrangements.

“That’s another matter. I don’t want to feel lucky because of that. I don’t want to implicate my matters with Mu Lings.h.i.+ and the rest either.”

“Master Qi, you say that, but you must understand that back then, Mr. Gu was also a great help for First Master Qi. Had he fully supported First Master, our chances would’ve been much lower. Just based on the new company’s matter alone, if he had stopped the investment in South River Project No. 2, CEO Qi would be very pressured too. That way, CEO Qi might have sacrificed you, Master Qi…”

Yang Sheng saw it all very clearly, instantly hitting things right on the nail.

“Apart from it being for Miss Mu Lings.h.i.+, Master Mu probably also considered this when he severed the First Master’s helping hand. If Mr. Gu stays out of it, and with VP Yue and Manager Xi roped in, if we work a little harder and CEO Qi’s thoughts are wavered, First Master might not smoothly take office during the shareholders’ meeting after the New Year.”
