1209 I Missed You 3

Gu Lingsha had no idea how much Qi Feng had to do in order to deal with the reporters, but no matter how much he tried, the information still leaked somehow.

Mrs. Qi was arrested due to suspected drug use!

The news spread like wildfire over the Internet. There were also photos with the caption "Gu Lingsha displaying withdrawal symptoms". The divorce between Gu Qiwu and Doris also caused a huge storm, and with this incident, Qi Kai Corporation and the Hui Gu Corporation's shares took a sharp dive!

Qi Qiming and Qi Feng quickly held a meeting to find a solution.

However, they could not do anything. The shareholders blamed each other in the meetings throughout the last week. Some were sarcastic and subtly hinted that Gu Lingsha had dragged everyone down!

Qi Qiming and Qi Feng were embarrassed at first, but they got used to it soon after. Furthermore, Qi Lei stopped coming to work ever since the incident.

In the extravagant office.

"Manager Xi, where's Vice President Xi? Is he not in again?" Qi Qiming looked at the empty seat beside Xi Xinyi as he asked coldly.

Qi Lei had been giving all kinds of different reasons to be absent since Monday! He was nowhere to be seen in the past week.

Qi Feng glanced over at Qi Lei's seat when he heard Qi Qiming's question. It was empty just like a few days before! His eyes darkened.

"Vice President Qi called this morning and said...he had diarrhea last night because he ate too much watermelon. He's applied for leave from the HR Department!" Xi Xinyi replied calmly.

Qi Qiming's expression turned worse. "Diarrhea? Didn't he say he had a stomachache just two days ago?"

"The last time he said he needed to visit the doctor to check on his hemorrhoids…"

"Hemorrhoids? Didn't he catch a cold?"

"It's not a cold. I heard he hurt his waist!"

"Really? I thought he was having a migraine."

…

Suddenly, everyone in the room was discussing it.

Qi Qiming's expression became dark like thunderclouds! His relationship with Qi Lei had come to a standstill again. He wanted to stay at home to rest for some time, yet this unexpected incident happened, so he had to force himself to go to work.

Qi Lei did not want to show up at all no matter how chaotic the world had become. He was sending Qi Qiming and Qi Feng a clear message—he did not care about Qi Kai's survival!

Just when Qi Qiming was about to lose his temper, he remembered how long it had taken for their relationship to improve to this point, so he suppressed his anger!

Qi Lei managed to escape from this, but Qi Feng was not as fortunate. Gu Lingsha was his woman after all. Therefore, Qi Qiming unleashed his fury on Qi Feng!

Qi Qiming called Qi Feng to his office after the meeting and started lecturing him, "Idiot! Qi Kai is going to be ruined in the hands of you two! What exactly happened? What's with the drugs?! Give me an explanation!"

He slammed the documents onto his table! Even the cup on the table jumped a little.

"Father, it's still under investigation. No matter what, I believe Shasha is innocent. She wouldn't do something like that," Qi Feng clenched his fists as he explained.

"She wouldn't? Why don't you tell the police that and see if they'd believe you? Why did you invite Xi Xiaye's bunch? Why would there be reporters there? And what's with the police? Have you found out?"

Qi Qiming could not hold his anger in anymore. "I've told you that Qi Kai is unlike before. What happened before really took a huge toll on us! Do you really want people to find out Qi Kai's initial background? Do you know how much time and effort your grandfather and I took to clean it up? If the police start investigating Qi Kai, we'll be done for! You idiot!" Qi Qiming yelled at him.

Qi Feng's expression darkened, but he did not refute. "Father, there's no point blaming anyone right now. Our top priority is to salvage Qi Kai's shares! Moreover, the Hui Gu Corporation isn't doing well at the moment too, so I guess we can't expect help from them. Shasha's incident isn't as simple as it looks. I'm sure we'll be able to prove her innocence once we find out the truth."

Qi Feng's eyes seemed quiet as he was hiding his emotions.

"What's the situation over at the station?" Qi Qiming stopped being angry for the moment and asked.

"I've sent a lawyer over. I'm sure Shasha can manage," Qi Feng replied.

"What's with Shasha lately? How could she make all kinds of stupid mistakes?! Just like Gu Qiwu and Doris!" Qi Qiming's tone sounded cold.

"I'll remind her, Father. I'll find a way out of this."

...

The Mid-Autumn Festival was around the corner. Along with the National Day holiday, there was almost a full week of break.

In the CEO's office in Fuhua Real Estate, Xi Xiaye sat on her chair quietly as she assigned tasks to the managers.

"Alright, go make the arrangements, and then you all can go back at 3 p.m. today to avoid the traffic jam. Be sure to get the work done and make sure the company's security is tight. Is there any problem?"

"Nope, thank you, CEO Xi!"

They then left the room.

Xiao Mei came into the room with some tea.

Xi Xiaye glanced at a certain photo frame on the table. It was her wedding photo with Mu Yuchen and was the same one in Mu Yuchen's office. She could not fight against her desire anymore, so she put her pen down and said to Xiao Mei, "Xiao Mei, book me a flight to New York."
