MY LOVING MARRIAGE - Season 20 Episode 97

Qi Lei’s gaze darkened. His hand paused as he looked at Wang Chun.

Wang Chun took a deep breath. He did not look too good and he lowered his voice—

“Master, something happened in Myanmar. There was a riot at the border. During that time, President Gan of the Dongfang Group was at the border. Our people paid attention to news on President Gan according to Master’s orders, but we never found any trace of him. Moreover, he lost contact with his subordinates. Everyone has been looking for him these past few days. His assistant, Ah Fei, did not dare to let the news spread back to City Z in case it would cause chaos…”

“What did you say?”

Before Wang Chun could finish his sentence, Qi Lei had already tightened his grip on the teacup in his hand and placed it on the table. His handsome face immediately turned solemn!

Dongfang Gan had gone missing?

He had not been able to get through to Dongfang Gan’s phone in the past few days. Initially, he thought that he was busy with work. Although he felt a little uneasy in his heart, he just wanted the people there to pay more attention to him. He did not expect Dongfang Gan to go missing?

Qi Lei’s dark eyes were immediately filled with worry

If Liuyun knew about this, she would be worried!

These few days, her mind had been restless. She would have nightmares at night. All sorts of signs made him worried!

“Master, this is the information that just came from the other side, and some information on the investigation. I think that something might have happened this time. I heard that when the riot happened, someone fired a gun. It was a huge incident. Many troublemakers went deep into the mountains.”

As Wang Chun said this, he took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Qi Lei.

Qi Lei frowned as he took it and flipped through it.

The more he read, the more serious his expression became. Towards the end, he had gripped the document in his hand tightly.

“Are you saying that those bandits might have taken President Gan as a hostage?”

“We can’t rule out this possibility because many people have gone missing over there. This news is still sealed. Otherwise, if the news were to leak out, the situation would be very unstable!” Wang Chun said worriedly.

“Yes, Master Qi. I’m also worried about this.” Yang Sheng also said with some worry.

Qi Lei was silent for a moment before saying, “Is there any progress over there?”

“No, because such things happen very frequently. Furthermore, the situation over there has been unstable recently, and the government doesn’t seem to have much energy to care about this. Besides, that place is near the border. It’s also a Golden Triangle area, and the control is particularly chaotic.”

Hearing this, Qi Lei could not help but feel a headache coming on. He could not help but raise his hand and rub the space between his brows, “Ask the people over there to buck up and send a few more people over. Yang Sheng, book a plane ticket for me to rush over tomorrow. The two of you will stay here to take charge of the situation. Yang Sheng, be careful of any changes in the Dongfang Group. Vice President Wang Chun, the company will be temporarily handed over to you. I hope that you can help take care of Yang Sheng’s side as well.”

“Also, don’t let your Missus know about this for now. And don’t leak the news. Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be.”

“Don’t worry, Master. We’ll definitely keep the news secret. We’ll be fine with Missus’ side.”

If he wanted to make those people over there take the matter seriously, Qi Lei had to go over personally. Otherwise…

“A lot of things have been piling up recently. Such a coincidence makes me feel that something isn’t quite right. Vice President Wang Chun, when you get back, tell Old Man Qi to get someone to investigate the connections around the Dongfang family as well. This includes Riko and Fujiwara’s end. I want a detailed investigation. List all of your Missus’ possible opponents and eliminate them one by one.”

That was all Qi Lei could do now.

“Understood, Master!”

“Right, Master Qi, Dongfang Rou’er went to Cloud Residence this morning. She should be looking for Fujiwara. I have a feeling that this Dongfang Rou’er has got something up her sleeves. As far as I know, Dongfang Rou’er has never interacted with Fujiwara. She doesn’t even know Riko Inoue.”

The person who spoke was Yang Sheng. Qi Lei had asked him to pay attention to Dongfang Rou’er’s movements, so he naturally did not dare to be negligent. He had people keeping a close watch on Dongfang Rou’er’s 24-hour whereabouts.

“Why did she go looking for Fujiwara?”

Qi Lei’s brows furrowed even tighter.

“I don’t know, but she didn’t look too good when she left.” Yang Sheng added.

Qi Lei was silent for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he said, “It’s going to be her wedding with Jin Sheng soon. It looks like I won’t be able to accompany your Missus. Vice President Wang Chun, you have to personally accompany your Missus that day. Report to me if anything happens here.”

Wang Chun nodded. “I understand, Master. Don’t worry about leaving the Missus to us.”

As they spoke, the two of them nodded solemnly.

“You can go back first. I’ll call you if there’s anything.”

Qi Lei took a deep breath. He took a lighter from the side and lit up the documents in his hand.

“Make arrangements for tomorrow.”

“Yes, Master Qi!”

“Yes, Master!”

Yang Sheng and Wang Chun replied before turning to leave the tea hall.

Their footsteps faded into the distance. Qi Lei did not move for a long time. He watched as the paper burned into ashes in the ashtray. Amidst the water vapor, his black eyes became a little dazed. Then, they became bright again.

“What’s wrong?”

After a long while, Dongfang Liuyun’s voice came faintly from behind him. Qi Lei came back to his senses. He turned his head and looked up. Only then did he realize that Dongfang Liuyun had come to his side, seeing that he was looking at the half-cup of tea in his hand in deep thought, Dongfang Liuyun chuckled. She reached out to take it and drank up the tea in the cup.

“What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed? I called you a few times, but you didn’t respond. Have Wang Chun and Yang Sheng gone back?” Dongfang Liuyun asked softly. Qi Lei had already picked up the teapot and poured her another cup.

“They left. Don’t drink such bitter tea?”

“It’s fine. It’s good for lowering the heat.”

Dongfang Liuyun smiled and glanced at the ashtray beside him. She did not miss the ashes in the ashtray. There was a faint burning smell in the air.

“What’s up with the strong burning smell?”

It was obvious that he did not look too good. His dark eyes were a little reserved. It was obvious that he had something on his mind.

Qi Lei suddenly reached out to pull her over and gently wrapped his arms around her waist, “It’s nothing. It’s just some unnecessary documents, they came to discuss some work matters. I have to be busy for a while. It’s almost New Year, and our wedding is being prepared, so there are many things that need to be arranged.”

Qi Lei thought about it and decided not to tell her about Dongfang Gan for the time being, otherwise…
