Wei Zixu looked like he had swallowed gunpowder; as soon as he spoke, there was a strong smell of gunpowder.
Facing Wei Zixu's hostile words, Yan Qingdi glanced up and down at Wei Zixu with a fake smile, then slowly spoke: "Young Master Wei wants to see me, naturally, there's no need for an appointment. Even if Young Master Wei just makes a call, I can personally come to see you. But I wonder, what's the matter with Young Master Wei and Young Master Ye coming to see me together?"
Yan Qingdi was also someone who'd seen the world and weathered many storms.
He even understood the principle of saying what people want to hear to different individuals.
Now, facing someone like Wei Zixu, you mustn't be aggressive, or you'll only bring trouble upon yourself.
After all, this is Yan Qingdi's company, and if Wei Zixu went mad, Yan Qingdi would be the one embarrassed, so he held back his anger, even lowering himself.
"Yan Qingdi, you pretending bastard!" Wei Zixu snorted coldly and got straight to the point, "Is it you, son of a bitch, who is messing with my sister Qiu Ruo's company?"
Hearing those three insulting words again, a flash of anger crossed Yan Qingdi's eyes, but he didn't lose his temper. Instead, in a cold voice, he said, "Young Master Wei, catch the thief with the loot, catch the adulterer in the act. If you have no evidence, please don't make wild accusations!"
"I'm making wild accusations..."
"Young Master Wei, you know very well if you're making wild accusations or not!" Yan Qingdi said coldly, "You say I set up Qiu Ruoxi, why don't you say she set me up?"
"She set you up?" Wei Zixu was taken aback.
"That's right!" Yan Qingdi said heavily, "Ask Young Master Ye, see how his wife set me up!"
"She directly pushed me into a corner. My current situation is even more dangerous than Qiu Ruoxi's. Do you think I have the mind to deal with her?"
Upon hearing Yan Qingdi's words, Ye Xunhuan chuckled lightly, "Young Master Yan, I may not understand the deceit in business, but I know my wife indeed gave you the land. It was you who was overconfident and didn't pay attention to the details. Can you blame my wife?"
"If you had paid attention, would you not have noticed something was amiss?" Ye Xunhuan said leisurely, "It's like, if you're married and don't have kids, can you blame the bed?"
Yan Qingdi was momentarily speechless. What Ye Xunhuan said was true. It was all because he, Yan Qingdi, was overly confident. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.
"What are you two talking about?"
"Looks like Young Master Wei doesn't know!"
"What could I know? Just tell me!"
"Young Master Wei, why don't you come see for yourself?"
With that, Yan Qingdi went to his desk, opened the computer, found the news about Tenglong Group from today, and presented it directly to Wei Zixu.
After glancing at it, Wei Zixu immediately laughed, "Yan Qingdi, you got set up by Qiu Ruoxi?"
"Young Master Wei, isn't it clear from what's written here?" Yan Qingdi snorted coldly.
"Serves you right!" Wei Zixu said, somewhat gloatingly, "You've often schemed against others, now someone has schemed against you, right?"
"Yan Qingdi, if you hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't have suspected you. Now you have even more motive!" Wei Zixu's previously smiling face suddenly became cold, "You were set up by Qiu Ruoxi, you're not comfortable with it, so you came up with such a devious revenge plan..."
But this time, Wei Zixu was wrong. Yan Qingdi wasn't out to retaliate against Qiu Ruoxi; he had planned it long before and had been waiting for this day.
He just hadn't expected that both he and Qiu Ruoxi would take action at the same time, leading to the current situation.
"Ye Xunhuan, don't you think I'm right?"
"Absolutely right!" Ye Xunhuan nodded confidently.
"See, I told you it's this son of a bitch." Wei Zixu said with a moderate tone, "So now he has every motive, doesn't he?"
"Damn it!" Yan Qingdi retorted loudly, "Wei Zixu, you can't just spout nonsense!"
"Do you think if it were me, I'd sit here and wait for you to come find me?" Yan Qingdi said coldly, "Wouldn't it be better if I operated everything from the shadows..."
"That would be better, but if we found you, it would be better too."
"Yan Qingdi, Ye Xunhuan doesn't know you, but I do!" Wei Zixu said nonchalantly, "We grew up naked together; I know who you are, you bastard, always like to take unexpected paths..."
As Wei Zixu's words echoed in his ears, Yan Qingdi's expression flickered between cloudy and clear.
At this moment, Yan Qingdi only felt that if he fell, it was neither to Ye Xunhuan nor Qiu Ruoxi but because he overlooked Wei Zixu.
They were both in Beijing, and as children, they played together with nothing on. Although as they grew up, due to differences in ideology and other factors, they hardly kept in touch, and their relationship wasn't as it used to be.
But in terms of understanding, Wei Zixu understood him better than Ye Xunhuan did!
As Ye Xunhuan listened to Wei Zixu's words, his eyes slowly narrowed, and an intimidating cold glimmer slowly began to shine within them!
Meanwhile, at Camphorwood Pavilion!
Inside the villa, Dongfang Shu was sitting gracefully on the sofa, crossing her legs. Her fair hand held a cigarette, and her originally seductive peach-blossom eyes were now sharp, glaring intensely at Meng Qi who stood before her!
"Meng Qi, how long have you been with me?"
"In a few days, it will be ten years!"
"That's right, almost ten years, time flies!" Dongfang Shu said with a hint of sentimentality, "Before, you were just a kid, and I was just a young girl. Who would've thought that ten years would pass in the blink of an eye."
"Miss, you are still a young girl now!"
Dongfang Shu sighed lightly, "I'm getting old, not like before!"
This time Meng Qi did not speak up; he was completely at a loss as to why Dongfang Shu suddenly started reminiscing the past with him and even took up smoking.
In Meng Qi's memory, in these ten years, he had only seen Dongfang Shu smoke five times, including this time.
The previous times she smoked were when something big happened, and she was uneasy. What was going on now?
Seeing Meng Qi fall silent, Dongfang Shu spoke again, "Meng Qi, how have I treated you these ten years?"
"Miss has treated me with a deep kindness!" Meng Qi responded without hesitation, "If it wasn't for Miss, there wouldn't be the me of today!"
Dongfang Shu took a deep breath, staring at Meng Qi, "If that's the case, why did you betray me?"
As her words fell, a sharp aura suddenly emanated from Dongfang Shu, and her eyes became incredibly sharp, like a knife, making it impossible to look directly and as if they could pierce through all disguises in an instant.
At this moment, Dongfang Shu was filled with murderous intent!
