Qi Qiming walked to his side and stopped, meeting the other person’s gaze. His eyes flickered from dark to light as he fixed his gaze on the person before him.

That person stood there quietly too. Unmoving, he let Qi Qiming size him up. Moments after, he slowly pulled down his sungla.s.ses and revealed that distinctly grave and stern handsome face. Those deep eyes of his did not conceal his sharpness, and there was an indescribably chilly aura all over him.

Apart from Gu Qiwu, who else could it be?

“Was it you who did it? You killed her, didn’t you?”

Qi Qiming’s gloomy gaze revealed a flash of hostility as he coldly stared at Gu Qiwu.

Gu Qiwu did not respond. Instead, he quietly put on his sungla.s.ses again and turned to look at Qi Qiming with a faint smile. “You don’t seem too upset. Haven’t you always hated her? Whoever could help you finish her off this time is a good thing for you anyway.”

“I didn’t tell you to kill her. No matter what, she’s still…”

“Still what?”

Before Qi Qiming could finish, Gu Qiwu had already indifferently cut him off. His deep voice was colored with disdain. “Your woman? Or your wife? I don’t think you’ve cared about that all these years. Coming to a realization and having remorse doesn’t seem like something Qi Qiming would do.”

“You’re crazy! Did you kill her? Tell me!”

Qi Qiming’s expression was as gloomy as the sky before a storm. Veins popped on his forehead as he fixed his gaze on Gu Qiwu.

Compared to Qi Qiming’s fury, Gu Qiwu was much calmer. He smiled indifferently and said, “For what reason are you certain that it’s me and not Mu Yuchen? Isn’t there conclusive evidence on him already? This incident is a good thing for both me and you.”

“But I never wanted her to die! Who told you to act by yourself? You’re cruel!” Qi Qiming lowered his voice and said through gritted teeth.

Gu Qiwu smiled without a care as he gave Qi Qiming a side look. “She’s already dead. Have you come to reveal your feelings for her? If we’re talking about cruelty, how cruel can it be compared to you, Qi Qiming? You know very well yourself how you’ve been treating the mother and son all these years, and how many women you’ve let down. w.a.n.g Qin was quite smart. She didn’t fall for it. This time, I’ve helped you get rid of huge trouble for the future. You should at least say thank you to the person who helped you.”

“You… No matter what, she was still my woman and Qi Lei’s mother. Gu Qiwu you can be heartless, but I can’t necessarily do that too!” Qi Qiming’s expression was exceptionally gloomy as he stared coldly at Gu Qiwu’s stern face.

Gu Qiwu looked extremely calm. He calmly examined Qi Qiming for a long while. You could not hear any emotions from his voice as he spoke, “Okay, no need to act all soft-hearted now. The wheels are already set in motion, so what’s the use of talking about it now? Once Mu Yuchen is halted, Glory World Corporation might as well have collapsed, and the South River project will no doubt fall into your hands. You can have complete control of the entire Qi Kai, so what else are you unhappy about?”

“Did you want to take down Glory World by so carefully going against Mu Yuchen?” Qi Qiming stared coldly at Gu Qiwu. through that pair of sungla.s.ses, he could not see Gu Qiwu’s reaction.

“Why else did you think? If you think that this reason isn’t sufficient enough, then you can just a.s.sume that I’m taking revenge for Lingsha and Wei Wei.” Gu Qiwu’s voice was cold. One could tell whether that tone was real or fake.

“Mu Tangchuan won’t willingly let his son stay at that place for too long.”

“Then, they will have to find evidence for Mu Yuchen to be clear of suspicion. I don’t know about this either. I only heard about it. All the huge media are fighting to report on it, so it’d be hard to not know about it. At the end of the day, it was just a woman. I’ll put more joss sticks on for her for future Qingming Festivals and just grieve a little. I’ve asked you not to forget your original intentions.”

As Gu Qiwu said this, he sighed calmly. “Okay, we’ll just let this matter pa.s.s. There’s still much to do after this. The news from Ah Feng’s end came. The surgery’s very successful, and soon he’ll be able to return. Wei Wei will come home too. When that happens, you should let them consider marriage. Wei Wei’s really cute, don’t you think so?”

When Gu Qiwu said that, a light flickered in Qi Qiming’s eyes, yet he did not answer.

“We’ll use this time to hit Mu Yuchen down. You know Ah Feng hates him to the bone. Sigh, now that he’s like this, and Wei Wei… That way, at least Ah Feng would feel better. Okay, go home. The rain’s getting heavy. I won’t be going to the funeral tomorrow. My condolences to you,” Gu Qiwu said indifferently, and then turned around to walk away.

Qi Qiming felt rigid all over. He turned to watch Gu Qiwu’s figure gradually move away as fury flashed in his eyes. After that, it slowly turned into a complicated gaze, and finally, he could only take in a deep breath. Both his hands suddenly covered his face, and after a while, he put both his hands down.

Gu Qiwu walked back to his car in the cold rain. The person who sat in the front pa.s.senger’s seat was his person a.s.sistant, Ah Yong.

Gu Qiwu had just gotten into the car when Ah Yong asked softly, “Boss, are we going straight back to City B now?”

Gu Qiwu looked up at the sky, and then glanced at the watch on his wrist. He thought about it, then said, “Let’s make a trip to the cemetery.”

“Don’t you want to visit Miss Lingsha, Boss?” Ah Yong asked softly. He paused, and then added on, “Her arm’s quite injured, and it affected her previous wound too. After that accident, every time when the weather is like this, she would…”

Gu Qiwu’s eyes darkened. He thought for a moment, then responded, “No need. After going through so many things, she’s stronger than we think.”

“Boss, do you really think that person slipped up? I’ve checked. He’s never slipped up. Didn’t you say to just give a little warning?” Ah Yong suddenly asked softly.

When he said that, Gu Qiwu’s slightly good-looking face flashed with a smile. However, that smile did not seem genuine.

“a.s.sa.s.sins right now are all very clever, especially at that ranking. We have to be more careful. If I guess correctly, that person has probably chosen to escape to Europe, hasn’t he?”

“How do you know, Boss?” Ah Yong looked a little surprised at Gu Qiwu as a light of disbelief surfaced in his eyes.

Gu Qiwu only scoffed as he took the newspaper from the side and said coldly, “He’s been pulling some smart tricks in front of me, using me to get rid of w.a.n.g Qin. That’s quite a brilliant move.”
