A bolt from the blue!
The words of Xue Hao, the manager of Bo Yue Hotel, were nothing short of a second bolt from the blue for Zhou Zhenhai, Qi Mengge, and all the members of the Dongfang Family present!
The death of Young Master Dongfang Hui was already shocking enough for everyone, so how could there suddenly be more bad news about the Family Head?
"Are you sure? What was our Family Head doing, going to Bo Yue Hotel for no reason? Explain yourself clearly!" Zhou Zhenhai immediately demanded.
"Housekeeper Zhou, I'm not really sure about the specifics, but the Family Head Dongfang indeed booked a room at our hotel early in the morning—apparently, it was reserved by noon."
On the other end, Xue Hao was cautious and spoke bitterly, "Moreover, he chose the top floor suite and even booked the whole area."
"It seemed like he was trying to have a woman, so he even had us remove all the surveillance, leaving us clueless about how he died, not knowing who came up..."
Woman!
Dongfang Yu actually ignored his own son to indulge himself for the sake of a woman!
Qi Mengge felt utterly humiliated, let out a furious scream, and violently flipped the mahogany chair beside her!
Xue Hao on the phone shuddered in fear upon hearing the commotion.
He had hesitated before calling Mrs. Qi directly, choosing instead to call Uncle Zhou, hoping he would relay the message.
Yet, he still heard Qi Mengge's wrath.
"Listen, don't let this matter leak out, we'll be over soon, make sure to keep the scene secured, and there's no need to alert the action department, we'll handle Dongfang Family matters ourselves!"
Zhou Zhenhai said coldly.
"Yes!" Xue Hao quickly hung up the phone.
"Madam, what do you think?"
The vast living room was silent, the atmosphere suffocatingly heavy, everyone watching the disheveled, red-eyed Qi Mengge with apprehension.
In just one night, she had gone from being the high and mighty lady of the household to a lonely widow.
"What do I think? Dongfang Yu, that good-for-nothing, got what he deserved, just take some people to tidy up the scene, and above all, don't let this scandal spread, I can't afford to lose that face!"
Qi Mengge said, her eyes filled with rage: "As for me, I'm going to see my beloved son, Xiao Hui, even though he died suspiciously, as his mother, I will ensure justice for him! I will skin and dismember the culprit who dared to kill my son, eat his flesh, and drink his blood!!!"
...
As the Dongfang Family was in a state of chaos, rushing back and forth because of the deaths of Dongfang Yu and Dongfang Hui.
A taxi stopped in front of Xianglong Hotel.
Jiang Feng then got out with a red-eyed Chu Feifei.
On their way back, he even took Chu Feifei to a shopping mall to buy her a set of clothes so that she could be decently dressed, avoiding suspicion from Nangong Qingcheng and the other women upstairs.
"Let's go up."
Jiang Feng said calmly to Chu Feifei.
To avoid further distressing Chu Feifei, he had already discussed with her to keep tonight's events between themselves, not revealing anything to others, not even Nangong Qingcheng.
"Hmm." Chu Feifei, tears streaming down her face again, took a deep breath after a while, following Jiang Feng into the hotel and into the elevator.
Inside suite 706.
The five women including Nangong Qingcheng were anxiously waiting, and seeing Jiang Feng bringing Chu Feifei back, they immediately felt at ease, as if a heavy stone had fallen.
"Fei'er, what were you doing tonight? Why is your phone unreachable, you didn't really go looking for Dongfang Yu, did you?"
Nangong Qingcheng quickly stepped forward worriedly, asking Chu Feifei.
The tears Chu Feifei had barely suppressed started to well up again, swirling in her eyes: "Qingcheng, I..."
"No."
Before she could open her mouth, Jiang Feng interrupted, saying to Nangong Qingcheng: "Fei'er didn't go look for Dongfang Yu, she heard that I was taken to the police officer's place, worried herself sick, couldn't stay in her room, and ended up going to the seaside to clear her mind."
"When I found her, she was just sitting there dazing, and the signal was poor by the sea, so she didn't receive your messages."
This explanation somewhat made sense, but the real question was, if Chu Feifei's face was red and her eyes were swollen, how should that be interpreted?
However, the women present were smart and seeing Jiang Feng and Chu Feifei intentionally withholding something, they didn't press further.
Nangong Qingcheng gently said: "It's good you're back, Fei'er, don't do anything foolish again, we were really worried about you..."
Chu Feifei nodded vigorously with tearful eyes.
She understood that her good friends and Jiang Feng were trying to protect her dignity, giving her a way out, and in her heart, she felt nothing but immense gratitude and profound guilt and self-reproach.
"Qingcheng, don't worry, I won't be impulsive anymore, I'm going to take a shower first..."
After that, Chu Feifei changed into slippers at the door and went to the bathroom.
Nangong Qingcheng watched her back, sighed softly, and then said to Jiang Feng: "Jiang Feng, what about you? How did you get out of the police?"
This was a question Zhang Qinyao, Liu Shiyuan, Bai Zhiqing, and Mu Yanluo also wanted to know, all eyes looking eagerly at him.
"Let's sit down and talk."
Jiang Feng invited the women to sit, then succinctly explained how he got out.
It was largely thanks to the chairman of Murong Group who helped out, smoothing over the connections.
But he didn't disclose much more, for the true nature of his relationship with Uncle Fu and even Murong Qian was still a mystery, not the time to fully reveal.
...
At the same time.
In front of the "Zero Emotion" bar.
After a heart-wrenching scream, Qi Mengge ran to the flowerbed nearby and started retching.
She had brought a large group from the Dongfang Family to the scene, arriving just as the action department was carrying out two stretchered bodies covered in white cloth.
Knowing that one of them was her son, she disregarded all attempts to stop her, forcibly running over to lift the cloth for a look.
She had no idea that with just one glance, she was plunged into a nightmare and was overcome with strong nausea.
"Who... who could have done this, who was ruthless enough to mutilate my son..."
If it weren't for recognizing the green ring on her son's hand, Qi Mengge wouldn't have been able to recognize him!
After vomiting everything out from her stomach, a little color returned to her face, and she fiercely wiped her mouth, looking angrily at the head of the action department and the owner of the "Zero Emotion" bar standing behind her, her expression hysterical!
"Madam Qi, please calm down!"
The officer from the action department, showing a bit of fear towards this Madam Qi, said with a wry smile, "We still don't know the identity of the killer, he was extremely professional, left no evidence at the scene, we're planning to verify fingerprints to identify him..."
"Useless! Useless!! You are all useless, my son's death doesn't concern you! I will avenge my son personally, once I catch the murderer, I will make him pay with his blood, leaving him without a burial place!!"
Qi Mengge roared hoarsely, her sharp voice piercing the night sky, full of deep hatred and enmity!
