<h4>Chapter 1385 Perish 6</h4>


    He silently listened but did not say anything after that. He only reached out to caress her long hair that fell along her back.


    When she saw that he did not respond, she softly asked, “Don’t you have anything you want to say?”


    “What do I say? This is what I wanted, and this oue was within my expectations.”


    “Are you referring to Doris’s end?” Xi Xiaye asked.


    Mu Yuchen slowly moved his arm away from around her waist and answered calmly, “Right from the start, I never thought of letting Doris leave City Z, so I could only cut her wings first, but she was smart too. She arranged for Gu Lingsha to leave, but the move was a step slower than I anticipated.”


    When Xi Xiaye heard his revtion, she could not help but sigh. The image of Doris copsing reyed in her head once again, and her heart could not help but tighten. “What do you think Gu Qiwu feels about Doris? I really can’t see through him. To say that he really cared about Doris, it doesn’t seem quite like it either, much less Aunt.”


    “I’m afraid he doesn’t know the answer to this either. All of the worries from before might fade with Doris, ande to a full stop. It’s time for these things to end now,” he responded, then walked over to switch the lights on again.


    Xi Xiaye nodded as she followed after him. “Dinner’s ready downstairs. Come down to eat when you’re ready.”


    ...


    It was night time, so the wind was colder than in the day. When one stood on the balcony, one could hear the whistling in the ears.


    “Master, Miss Doris is gone...” Morrison’s soft voice came through as he carefully watched Qi Feng hold his phone.


    When Qi Feng heard the update, gloominess disyed itself on his face. He could not quite tell what he was feeling. As he silently put his phone aside on the table, his raspy voice contained a forced calmness,. “This is as expected given the fact that Doris was pushed to that extent. Mu Yuchen...how should I deal with you?”


    “Doris admitted that she nned that ident six years ago, killed Mu Lingtian, and hurt you and Miss Lingsha. I think the reason she went onto this fatal path was that she wanted to die with Mu Lingshi, perhaps to redeem herself. Glenn said that she didn’t intend to hurt you and Miss Lingsha, but some things were fated,” Morrison said, “Thankfully, she took on the whole thing and didn’t expose us for your sake, Master, but now I’m afraid they already know about this in Ennd. I’m a little worried about Miss Lingsha.”


    Qi Feng’s expression darkened. He looked down at his legs and his gaze was exceptionallyplicated. He never could have guessed that the person who caused him to be like this today would be Doris!


    His mother-inw!


    When he thought about this, he could not help butugh about the irony of it all, and as heughed, he suddenly felt depressed.


    “Gu Qiwu was shot too. He was sent to the hospital. He seemed to be quite affected. I heard he even puked blood. Meanwhile, Mu Lingshi is alright. Mu Yuchen got his personal assistant, Li Si, to settle Doris’s funeral arrangements though it might take a few more days before Miss Doris will be buried. Master, should we let Miss Lingshae home to see Doris onest time?” Morrison asked for further instructions.


    Qi Feng’s expression was sunken whereas his head felt heavy as he propped his head on one hand exhaustedly. He tried to rx for a while, then answered, “Arrange for her toe home. Bring Weiwei along. Go and settle Doris’s funeral, but don’t rm anyone else.”


    “Yes, First Master! Right, First Master, Second Master Qi has returned to Grand Waves Vi tonight. CEO Qi has sent people over to ask him to go home, but he ignored them,” Morrison quickly updated on Qi Lei’s situation.


    “Is this his rebirth? The fact that he even made it out is quite surprising. If I had known, I’d have been crueler back then, and now we wouldn’t be faced with so many worries. Morrison, say, have I be indecisive now? Is that why I’m being attacked from all sides now?” Qi Feng sneered. As for Qi Feng’s passing, he did not seem very sad because he had long prepared for that, so he could only calmly ept all of it. However, he did feel his uneasiness grow.


    “Master, don’t think too much. We’re still safe for now, but caution will do us good. Still, Master, it’s best if we establish our influence at the office right now. Who knows what might happen in between things? CEO Qi’s thoughts have begun to sway. Plus, with Miss Doris’s incident, if CEO Qi were to think from the Qi family’s perspective, he’d probably have to reposition you and Second Master Qi again.”


    Even though Morrison did not have the heart to, he had to still brace himself and mention these things.


    Upon hearing that, Qi Feng’s expression did not change, yet his gaze darkened slightly. He breathed in, then could not help but sigh and say, “I never thought that my younger brother would know how to ride on power, and I thought we were the one controlling the narrative, but it looks like Mu Yuchen might not be weightless. Is he trying to help Qi Lei climb up?”


    “Master, I don’t understand how someone like Second Master Qi could have fallen in with Mu Yuchen and the rest. Mu Yuchen clipped Doris’s wings off so that she wouldn’t be able to make aeback. On one hand, it was for Mu Lingshi to have a fighting chance at Hui Gu, and on the other hand, they cut off all our backup help. I’ve always thought that he might not just want to get back Doris.”


    “He’s someone who won’t make a loss in business transcations. As for the fight between me and Qi Lei, if he must join, then our chances at winning aren’t huge, Morrison.”


    Qi Feng was very self-aware of his own capabilities. When it came to his background, what he should do, and what he should not do, he knew it very well. He would do his best meticulously most times. Otherwise, he would have been worn out from all these years of acting.


    When Qi Feng said that, Morrison’s eyes darkened, and he could not help but sigh. “What should we do now, Master? If we really can’t, then we just shouldn’t do it...”


    Before Morrison could finish, Qi Feng had already lifted a hand to stop him. “Not unless it is absolutely necessary. I don’t want to take this step. After the New Year is the annual shareholders’ meeting, so we’ll y by ear then. As for Doris’s incident, you can forget about it,” he said. Then, he put his hands gently on the armrest of the wheelchair and tried to get up. Although it was tough, he did get a second in. Soon, he fell limp again...
