Chapter 43 - It Should Just Be a Coincidence

Ji Naitang frowned. He knew that Cen Xi said that on purpose so Tan Huanya would know about his and Cen Muqi’s relationship. After all, Cen Xi’s status was far lower than Tan Huanya’s in the Cen family.

Sure enough, Tan Huanya’s expression changed. She was dazed for a while before saying, “Cen Xi, what do you mean? What do you mean he climbed onto your cousin’s bed?”

Cen Xi looked proud. “That means he has the ability to make men run around in circles for him.”

“Then the cousin you referred to……”

“Is exactly who you’re thinking of.”

Tan Huanya’s face completely sunk. She looked incredulously at Ji Naitang. She had actually been very curious about Cen Muqi’s attitude towards Ji Naitang, but she thought that they were friends or even close friends.

She had never thought once that Cen Muqi liked men. No one had ever told her in so many years. Cen Muqi had never told her either. “Why would cousin…… Why would he like him……?”

Cen Xi scoffed. “What like or not like? It’s nothing more than a novelty. Someone sent himself to the door and he looks good. Of course he’ll eat it. Do you really think that it’s love?!”

There were few people around Cen Muqi, but it wasn’t that there had been none. The last one was about five or six years ago. Now that he thought about it, he seemed to be the same type as Ji Naitang.

No, that’s not right. Cen Xi thought carefully. The last one was a true little white rabbit, but Ji Naitang was a wolf wearing rabbit skin.

The atmosphere in the small office was made awkward by Cen Xi, but the atmosphere in the CEO’s office wasn’t good either. Assistant Liu was reporting to Cen Muqi about what he had told him to investigate.

“The person who kidnapped Ji Naitang and Ji Moyu twelve years ago is named Zhou Qiang. He was originally Ji Naitang’s father Ji Weihong’s assistant, but he was fired by Ji Weihong. He held a grudge, so he kidnapped them.”

Cen Muqi listened quietly and thought for a while before asking, “Just because he was fired?”

“Yes. I heard that Ji Moyu was not only killed, but he was…… He was dismembered and with very cruel means. At that time, Ji Moyu was only twelve years old.”

“Ji Moyu was only the adopted son of the Ji family. If Zhou Qiang really wanted to seek revenge against Ji Weihong, then why didn’t he target Ji Naitang? Ji Naitang and Ji Moyu were both kidnapped, but he only killed Ji Moyu. It doesn’t make sense.”

Ji Naitang was Ji Weihong’s biological son after all. Zhou Qiang had been Ji Weihong’s assistant, so how could he not know this? But if he knew, then why did Zhou Qiang do what he did?

“Was Ji Naitang injured or unscathed when he was rescued?”

Assistant Liu looked down looked at the information in his hands. “That’s not clear. After he was rescued, he stayed in the hospital for a very long time, but it seemed to be because of a car accident.”

“Car accident?”

“Yes. Ji Weihong and his driver took money to pay the ransom for Ji Naitang, but there was a car accident on the way back. Ji Weihong and his driver died. Ji Naitang luckily survived, but he was severely injured. It’s not clear whether his injuries were because of the car accident or the kidnapping. It’s not stated in the report.”

Car accident…… Ji Weihong and his driver were in a car accident?

Cen Muqi’s hand on his pen clenched. He couldn’t help but think of his own father. He too was in a car accident twelve years ago, but the times were different. His father’s car accident was in early September. Ji Naitang’s father’s car accident was in late October.

It should just be a coincidence……
