Chapter 1159: Chapter 1159: Very Entangled with Nie Chenglang Chapter 1159: Chapter 1159: Very Entangled with Nie Chenglang Neither of them spoke; they simply went upstairs one after the other and opened the door.

Xiaobao still hadn’t woken up. Xu Chaomu had placed all the dolls beside the crib, waiting for Xiaobao to wake up to a pleasant surprise.

As soon as Shen Chi entered, his phone rang.

“President Shen, I have three things to report to you,” it was his subordinate.

“Go ahead.”

“First, we’ve found Qi Na. Qi Na was startled but still accused Jiang Zhilan. Now, the police are about to begin interrogation of Jiang Zhilan; second, Qi Na has requested leniency; third, Lu Feili, due to poor health, wants Nie Chenglang to inherit the Feili Group, so recently, Lu Feili has been pressing Nie Chenglang to familiarize himself with the company’s affairs at the group,” the assistant said.

Shen Chi pondered for a moment, gently stroking his chin.

After quite a while, he spoke indifferently, “I will return for a bit.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” The assistant knew Shen Chi must be heading to Jin City again.

Lately, Shen Chi had been frequently rushing to Jin City, forbidding anyone from disclosing his whereabouts.

“Mhm.”

Shen Chi hung up the call just as Xu Chaomu heard his last sentence.

She smiled radiantly, “President Shen, finally leaving? No need to see you off.”

“…” Shen Chi’s mouth twitched, and he took big strides towards her, cornering her against the wall!

“You’re that eager for me to leave? Don’t you appreciate me at all? Xiaobao likes me so much, can’t you like me for a bit? But don’t worry, I like you a lot, and I like Xiaobao too, so, I will come back.”

After saying that, Shen Chi let her go.

Then, without waiting for Xu Chaomu to speak, he left confidently.

It wasn’t like before, when leaving would fill his heart with reluctance; now, it was happiness that filled him more. Now, he could see her whenever he wanted, without self-pity.

He felt fortunate that she chose Jin City, which was close to C City.

Shamelessness could get you anywhere.

Xu Chaomu looked perplexed and when she looked up again, Shen Chi had already left, leaving behind only his subtle scent of plants and trees.

Just then, Xiaobao woke up, so Xu Chaomu didn’t think too much about it and ran to the bedroom.

Shen Chi hurried back to C City, arriving by evening. The setting sun cast brilliant sunset hues over the entire sky and city.

Pedestrians crowded the streets, cars flowed like water, and horses galloped like a river.

By the time he reached the company, the assistant was already waiting for him.

“President Shen, this is the report from the police. The chief asked me to give it to you, to see if there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with,” the assistant handed over a document.

Shen Chi sat in the chair and lit a cigarette.

He casually flipped through a few pages, which contained interrogation details and investigation processes.

It was challenging to investigate matters from five years ago, but this case, with solid evidence and witnesses, had become much easier.

After exhaling a puff of smoke, Shen Chi silently read the report.

“How many years could she get?” asked Shen Chi.

“The preliminary estimate is twelve years.”

“Too few.”

“I think so too,” the assistant said. “So, I will negotiate with them later on.”

“Send a copy of this report to Bai Xuan, and mark all the necessary places with a red pen, especially the key points. You don’t need me to teach you that, right?”

“No need, Mr. Shen, rest assured, I will handle it well,” the assistant responded.

“Hmm, what’s the deal with Qi Na?”

“That woman really knows how to cause trouble. She even scratched a few police officers when she was taken to the station. At first, she wouldn’t say anything and acted all frightened as soon as she entered the police station,” the assistant explained. “Later, through coaxing, deceiving, and intimidating her, she finally accused Jiang Zhilan. It’s just like you said, Qi Na was instigated by Jiang Zhilan.”

“Hmm.”

“Jiang Zhilan was immediately furious. If it hadn’t been for the police holding her back, those two women could have torn each other apart right in the station,” the assistant said. “We now have both evidence and witnesses, and with everything Qi Na has said, Jiang Zhilan has no chance of turning things around.”

The assistant continued, “As for Qi Na, you said not to let her off, so as the instigator, she will also face legal consequences.”

“Lock her up for a few days to scare her,” Shen Chi spoke out, exhaling smoke, “She lacks both cunning and strategy, but she has no equal when it comes to being clingy. Let her come back and try to be a decent person, find a good person to marry.”

When saying “good person,” Shen Chi intentionally emphasized his tone.

The assistant, quite astute, quickly added, “I think so too. Qi Na has been really pestering Nie Chenglang lately.”

“Go on.”

“Nie Chenglang has been getting acquainted with the affairs of the Feili Group recently and doesn’t have time to spare, but Lu Feili has always hoped that Nie Chenglang would marry Qi Na because… the Qi Family is wealthy and could provide substantial support to Nie Chenglang.”

“A match of equals in talent and looks,” Shen Chi said coolly.

The assistant didn’t know what was on Shen Chi’s mind, or why he was so interested in this Nie Chenglang.

To ingratiate himself with Shen Chi, he continued, “Nie Chenglang is actually quite annoyed by Qi Na. When we were at the station, I managed to extract Qi Na’s words easily. Qi Na feels very inferior, always thinking that it’s Nie Chenglang who doesn’t want her, and it seems… it seems he has someone else he likes.”

At this point, Shen Chi’s gaze sharpened.

For a moment, the office fell silent!

The remaining sunlight of the sunset cast upon the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, painting the glass a thick shade of orange, as if splashed with heavy ink.

Outside, the early evening lights were buzzing to life, while inside, there was tranquility like a still lake.

The cigarette in Shen Chi’s hand burnt down bit by bit, smoke swirling around, making Shen Chi’s stern and deep-set face appear and disappear intermittently, but his eyes grew colder.

The assistant glanced at Shen Chi, noticing the change in his expression, not knowing why.

“As for the Feili Group, Lu Feili has been hospitalized for the past half a month due to poor health.”

“What’s the illness?” Shen Chi’s thin lips parted slightly.

“Overworked, her body’s functions are all in poor condition. I heard that Nie Chenglang initially refused to take over Feili, but he’s distressed about his mother.”

“Oh.”

“Lu Feili won’t be returning to the Group for a while. Even if her health improves, she will stay in the hospital, because otherwise, Nie Chenglang would definitely drop everything at Feili Group,” the assistant said.

“That’s consistent with her way of doing things,” Shen Chi’s lips curved in a mocking smile.

“Mr. Shen, I will keep following up on the other matters,” the assistant said. “Do you have any other instructions?”

Shen Chi was silent, not speaking for a moment.

The cigarette in his hand grew shorter and shorter until it reached the end.

Shen Chi flicked his fingers to knock off the ash and tossed the cigarette butt into the clear ashtray.

“How are things on Xiao Mo’s end?” Shen Chi asked casually.

“Vice President Xiao is very busy and hasn’t made many calls back home. However, his subordinates say the project is going well.”

Shen Chi’s expression turned dark. This Xiao Mo, if he doesn’t call him, he wouldn’t even think to return the call!

It looks like he’s still holding a grudge, Shen Chi thought.

At this moment, he remembered those photos and the silver bracelet in Xiaobao’s hands!

If it weren’t for his complete trust in Xiao Mo, Shen Chi would have taught him a lesson by now!
