Chapter 985. Suspect
Morrison was stunned to hear what Qi Feng said. He quickly turned to look at him.
“Not just here for South River Project No. 2? What else could it be for?” Morrison asked, puzzled.
Qi Feng took the towel to wipe his hands as he smirked coldly. “My instincts tell me that South River Project No. 2 is definitely not his main goal. Otherwise, think about it. From the time we got South River Project No. 2, has he proposed any new plans? South River Project No. 2 is such a huge project. You probably don’t need me to remind you of how much investment it requires.”
Morrison thought about it briefly, then nodded. “Yes, it’s a large scale and everyone worked very hard to get this project. The Hui Gu Corporation has invested a lot too. If it weren’t for the Hui Gu Corporation’s participation, it would’ve been hard for Qi Kai alone to win the bid.”
Qi Feng stopped what he was doing as he thought about it, then asked, “That’s right, but did you know that the person who proposed to collaborate wasn’t my father? It was Gu Qiwu! He hinted for my father to take up the South River Project No. 2. I admit that the development project in South River is quite attractive, many enterprises were going after it, but the fact Gu Qiwu would look all the way here makes me quite suspicious, in fact, he’d delegated for Shasha to personally take on this project.”
“No, Master, I think this doesn’t quite mean anything. Hasn’t he always been wanting to pave the way for you and Miss Lingsha? Perhaps he was just doing that to make way for the two of you. I feel like we’ve always been suspicious of his intentions, but we haven’t seen any motives. Would this suspicion be too much of a stretch?” Morrison pondered, then raised his doubt.
Still, Qi Feng only smiled coldly and the light in his eyes dimmed. “Morrison, do you think that Gu Qiwu’s such a simple person? After going through so much, I don’t believe anyone anymore. Gu Qiwu’s quite reserved with his thoughts. He’s not someone I can easily pry into. One day, you’ll understand. In the many things that have unfolded, we could just be chess pieces, and chess pieces use one another. No one can escape!”
“Chess pieces? Master, what do you mean? Do you mean our relationship with Gu Qiwu?” Morrison lowered his voice to ask.
“Not just us. Mu Yuchen, Qi Lei, and more people too. There are too many conflicts between these people in which we’re all tangled up, so we can only be more careful. Many things aren’t as simple as they seem! Why was Gu Qiwu’s reaction to the South River Project a little lukewarm, yet he stays in City Z? Don’t you find that odd? Putting everything together, it makes me feel a little uneasy.”
