To Yan Qingdi, Meng Qi was nothing more than a pawn from beginning to end.
A pawn to be toyed with in the palm of his hand and discarded at any time.
Especially when Meng Qi's conflict with Ye Xunhuan escalated again due to Ying Tianyi's affairs, and he was snubbed by Dongfang Shu, Yan Qingdi felt that Meng Qi would become easier and easier to control, and also easier to discard.
The facts told Yan Qingdi, indeed it was so.
After the incident with Ying Tianyi, Meng Qi's hatred for Ye Xunhuan had almost seeped into his bones and blood.
Yan Qingdi naturally welcomed this and also knew that the more Meng Qi hated Ye Xunhuan, the more he would show no mercy when taking action.
Moreover, these days, Yan Qingdi had been making Meng Qi suppress his hatred and anger, and now suddenly, this pent-up hatred and anger erupted fully!
And Yan Qingdi could just sit behind the scenes and remotely control Meng Qi. If Ye Xun or Qiu Ruoxi were to find out, they would naturally go after Meng Qi first.
By that time, even if it didn't involve Dongfang Shu, would she be able to escape without any issues?
In such a situation, even if Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi knew it was him, Yan Qingdi, behind all this, what could they do?
If he killed him, then it would mean declaring war against the Yan family.
Ye Xunhuan had just had a conflict with the Lin family; starting a war with the Yan family wouldn't be a wise choice, would it?
Because of his status, Yan Qingdi was entirely fearless, and if he could force Qiu Ruoxi into a desperate situation, then the shares he got from her from the Huangtu Group could be greatly utilized.
At the same time, when he took over the Huangtu Group, he could escape his current predicament, and as for Qiu Ruoxi, she would be kicked off her pedestal by him, while Ye Xunhuan wouldn't be spared either; he had already prepared someone to kill Ye Xunhuan!
And even if Ye Xunhuan was killed, Yan Qingdi could still cleanly distance himself from everything; it would have nothing to do with him.
However, if successful and Meng Qi is not dead, then Yan Qingdi would personally see Meng Qi off.
This was Yan Qingdi's true calculation, and whether Meng Qi survived to the end or not, he would die.
Yan Qingdi wouldn't leave any evidence behind.
Unfortunately, Meng Qi was completely oblivious to all of this, unaware of Yan Qingdi's ruthlessness and scheming; if he knew, he might not necessarily cooperate with Yan Qingdi.
You must know, if a person dies, there's nothing left, but if alive, there's a glimmer of hope.
At this moment, Meng Qi was completely smug, watching the Huangtu Group's stocks plummet wildly, a sinister smile slowly appeared on his proud face.
"Ye Xunhuan, this is just the beginning!" Meng Qi said darkly, "Qiu Ruoxi, you can only blame yourself for marrying the wrong person!"
As the words fell, Meng Qi took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call was connected instantly.
"Execute the second plan!" Meng Qi said coldly, "Be careful not to let anyone find out!"
Then, Meng Qi hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Meng Qi slowly exhaled a breath and then took out a cigarette, lighting it for himself and taking a soft drag!
Thick smoke exhaled from his mouth, swirling around Meng Qi's somewhat sinister face, making him look slightly ferocious, especially with that slight cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, which was particularly striking!
At this moment, Meng Qi's phone suddenly rang.
Upon hearing the ringtone, Meng Qi slowly picked up his phone and glanced at it.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Meng Qi's sinister face immediately turned grave, and his eyes kept darting around.
After pondering for a moment, Meng Qi still answered the phone, "Miss..."
At this moment, Dongfang Shu's voice was not as crisp and captivating as usual; instead, it was filled with coldness.
Upon hearing Dongfang Shu's icy voice, Meng Qi felt a slight tremor in his heart.
Could it be that Dongfang Shu already knew about what he had done and now wanted to hold him accountable?
But that's impossible.
He had been discreet enough, and the people he used were all his trusted aides; it was absolutely impossible for Dongfang Shu to know.
But if Dongfang Shu knew nothing, how could this be?
"I just went to the hospital to change my dressing, and now I'm preparing to head back!" Meng Qi casually concocted a lie, "What's the matter, Miss?"
"Come to me!" Dongfang Shu ordered, "I have something to discuss with you!"
"I'll be right there!"
As the words fell, Meng Qi hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Meng Qi didn't immediately go to Dongfang Shu but instead fell into deep thought.
What is Dongfang Shu looking for me for at this time, and what does she want with me?
For a moment, Meng Qi was completely puzzled.
At the same time, in the Xiangzhang Residence, Dongfang Shu, dressed in a fiery red dress, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window. Her originally captivating eyes were devoid of any charm, and instead, they radiated a cold light, while her flawless face was covered with frost; her entire being exuded a chilling aura.
A plain-looking young man standing behind Dongfang Shu could feel this chilling aura penetrating to the bones, and he dared not breathe heavily.
He could sense that his mistress was on the brink of fury, ready to explode at any moment.
At this time, saying the wrong thing would definitely have unimaginable consequences.
After an unknown period, Dongfang Shu slowly spoke, "Are you sure Meng Qi didn't go to the hospital?"
"Yes, Miss!" The man hurriedly replied, "Ever since you ordered us to monitor Meng Qi, the brothers have been watching him around the clock!"
"And he hasn't contacted Yan Qingdi either?"
"No!" The man shook his head, "We checked his phone, and there was no continued communication with Yan Qingdi!"
Hearing the man's words, Dongfang Shu snorted coldly, "Good, Meng Qi. You dare to fool even me now!"
As the words fell, Dongfang Shu slowly turned her head and looked at the man in front of her, "Go, check Meng Qi's inner circle. If there's any other activity, kill them!"
The next moment, the man respectfully left.
After he left, Dongfang Shu exhaled a breath, stared out the window, and coldly said, "Meng Qi, regarding the Huangtu Group affairs, you'd better not be involved, or else..."
