Chapter 473 You framed me
“Is he a magnanimous person? I would also like to say that to Mr. Kuriz.”
Kuriz paused slightly: "General Ikegami, I am rather dull and do not quite understand what you mean."
“It’s nothing much. I think Mr. Kuriz already knows what happened this morning. We’ve given Miss Leng a way out out of respect for Mr. Kuriz, but it might have caused him some harm, so we’re giving you a heads-up beforehand. We hope you’ll be magnanimous.” With that, Chi Moqing hung up the phone.
He looked up at Leng Yan's shocked face, and a cold smile slowly crept onto his lips.
Kuriz is inherently suspicious and trusts no one but himself. Regardless of whether he believes the information he revealed, just in case, he will definitely try to get rid of Leng Yan.
"You...you framed me?" Leng Yan shrieked, staring at Chi Moqing in disbelief. His words undoubtedly told Kuriz that she had betrayed the organization to save her own life. In that case, her fate was sealed!
"Ah! Chi Moqing, how could you do this to me?" Leng Yan screamed, but Chi Moqing had already left.
Regarding the sniper case, Chi Moqing and the police station have temporarily blocked the news. Firstly, to avoid causing unnecessary panic, and secondly, Chi Moqing has his own plans, as keeping this matter in reserve will be very useful.
Yan Zuozuo felt uneasy at home. She knew Chi Moqing had gone to deal with the shooting case, and she was also well aware that this case must be particularly difficult. But no matter what, she wanted to be by his side, sharing the good and the bad with him, instead of sitting here anxiously.
She sat restlessly in the living room, clutching the phone tightly in her hand. Several times she wanted to dial, but worried that it would disturb him, so she put it down each time. Since her husband wouldn't let her come over, there must be a reason. Perhaps it wasn't appropriate for her to bother him right now.
She sighed heavily and sat down in the living room, her brows furrowed.
Meanwhile, Chi Moqing emerged from his office and knocked directly on Commander Zhang's door, his expression grave. Commander Zhang had heard about the shooting several hours earlier, and then he learned that Chi Moqing had brought a mistress from the Zha Sha organization to the military headquarters—the same Leng Yan he knew. It seemed the matter was serious.
Commander Zhang asked him to sit down: "What's going on?"
Chi Moqing didn't beat around the bush and simply recounted the matter, concluding, "Commander Zhang, I hope you can entrust this matter to me for full handling."
Commander Zhang frowned. He knew Chi Moqing's capabilities; he wouldn't have done this to eradicate the Zha Sha organization unless he was absolutely certain. The problem was that J-Master was now involved. Once the Zha Sha organization was touched, J-Master's connection could be compromised, which would be a major case involving international police.
"Commander, rest assured, I have made proper arrangements with the Zaza organization, and it will not involve J's clues."
Commander Zhang trusts Chi Moqing, and since he's entrusted J's affairs entirely to him, he'll leave the rest to Chi Moqing's discretion. He nodded, "Handle things well; there can't be any mistakes!"
"Yes, Commander."
When Chi Moqing returned to his office, his phone rang. He sat back down, glanced at Leng Yan, and then pressed the answer button. He saw that Kuriz's expression on the screen was not good.
"Did Mr. Kuriz want to see me about something?"
Kuriz nodded: "General Chi Shang, on behalf of the entire Zha Sha organization, I sincerely apologize to you and your wife for Leng Yan's actions. However, Leng Yan is still a member of the Zha Sha organization, and I hope that General Chi Shang can leave this to us to handle."
Leng Yan gasped sharply. She didn't want to!
Now that things have come to this, Kuriz is certain she betrayed the organization. She might not die if she went back, but she would suffer a fate worse than death. She had witnessed how the Zasha organization dealt with traitors; back then, she felt nothing looking at those people. But if all those punishments were to fall on her, she would rather die!
The scene can only be described in two words: terrifying!
Chi Moqing glanced at Leng Yan, then fixed his gaze on Kuriz with icy coldness. "Mr. Kuriz, this is a major social case, and Miss Leng has many secrets. Are you sure you're not joking about handing her over to you?"
"Please feel free to make any requests from Chishang, and I will fully cooperate on behalf of the Zha Sha organization."
Leng Yan froze, undoubtedly confirming her suspicions. Back home, Kuriz would show her no mercy. Her fists clenched tightly, her teeth clenched.
“Mr. Kuriz, this is the military headquarters, not the business world. Don’t try to use your business tactics here. I’ll say it again: Miss Leng is very important to us, and I’m afraid we can’t entrust her to you. That’s all.”
Leng Yan watched as Chi Moqing ended the call, especially those words that were so important to her, which instantly rekindled her hope. She looked intently at Chi Moqing, "Moqing, I knew you still had feelings for me..."
Chi Moqing sneered, "Miss Leng, you have two choices: either hand yourself over to Kuriz in exchange for the intelligence we need, or tell me everything you know." He took a sip of water, paused, and said, "Of course, you can choose neither and just wait for Kuriz to make his move. You know, sometimes the military isn't so safe either."
Leng Yan gasped sharply, her heart breaking as she looked at Chi Moqing. He hadn't handed her over out of sentimentality, but rather to use her—to utterly exploit her. She seemed unable to bear it any longer, screaming at Chi Moqing, "How could you do this to me? I love you so much, we've been through thick and thin together… Chi Moqing, how could you do this to me!"
"Born to die together?" Chi Moqing looked coldly at Leng Yan, his gaze like a sharp sword piercing her heart. "The moment you betrayed the country and the people, our comradeship ended. Your feelings are nothing but disgusting!"
Fortunately, the young wife was unharmed. If she had been even slightly injured because of Leng Yan, she would have been spared even if she died a hundred times over!
Her feelings were worthless to him!
Leng Yan saw deep disgust in Chi Moqing's eyes, and in an instant, her heart felt like it had exploded, shattering into pieces. After all these years of foolishly gazing at him, she finally understood that the most foolish and ridiculous thing she had ever done was to harbor illusions about this man. His person, his heart, were never something she could ever hope for. Aside from that woman, Yan Zuozuo, he was always ruthless towards everyone else!
She used to believe people called him cold-hearted. He had been so gentle feeding her medicine at her bedside, so tender protecting her on the battlefield. But now, she finally understood how naive she had been. It was nothing more than a superior's compassion for a comrade, devoid of any romantic love.
However, he was completely smitten with Yan Zuozuo. He would do anything for that woman!
"I've arranged a place for you. Get some rest tonight. Let me know when you've made a decision." After saying that, Chi Moqing called in the guard and asked him to take Leng Yan out.
At this moment, Leng Yan was like a defeated fighting rooster, devoid of any vitality.
Inside the villa, Yan Zuozuo glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost ten o'clock, and Chi Moqing still hadn't returned. She lay on the bed; the room without him felt cold and lonely.
She held her phone, wanting to call him, but with a sigh, she didn't dial.
And so, after an unknown amount of time, a sudden warmth enveloped her from behind. A pair of strong, powerful arms wrapped around her from behind. A powerful sense of security washed over her, and in her sleep, Yan Zuozuo unconsciously leaned closer, adjusting herself comfortably in his arms before drifting off to sleep again.
The next morning, Yan Zuozuo woke up with a start. She looked up and met Chi Moqing's smiling eyes. "It's still early, I'll sleep a little longer."
She breathed a heavy sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't a dream, and he really was beside her. She nuzzled against him, then nestled in his arms and fell asleep, until Chi Moqing finished cooking and called her to get up.
As usual, Chi Moqing escorted her to the entrance of Fan Hua Design, giving her a reluctant kiss before letting her go upstairs, much to the envy and jealousy of their colleagues.
"Be a good boy and wait for me to pick you up after get off work. Don't run around, okay?"
"I understand. You should go back to the military region. Ding Le is here with me, so everything will be fine," Yan Zuozuo said with a smile. In the five years of their marriage, Chi Moqing still treated her like a child, especially after a series of unpleasant events.
Upon hearing his name mentioned, Ding Le immediately nodded, "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely protect your sister-in-law!"
Chi Moqing watched Yan Zuozuo enter the elevator before driving away.
As soon as I entered the office, Cai Keren brought in the milk and said with a smile, "Chi Shang Jiang is so considerate, I'm even jealous."
Yan Zuozuo smiled faintly: "Should I tell your husband this? Let's see if you'll be kneeling on a washboard when you get home."
When her husband was mentioned, Cai Keren blushed. She had experienced so much pain in her life, and although she ended up marrying a poor man, he treated her very well, and she felt content.
Although Cai Keren didn't say anything, it was clear she was very happy. Yan Zuozuo took a sip of milk and sighed, "Life is truly full of surprises and unexpected turns. Who could have imagined that she and Cai Keren could get along so harmoniously?"
"Director, the meeting starts in half an hour. Please get ready."
Yan Zuozuo nodded. This meeting was mainly about the company's work plan for the new quarter. The head of the women's clothing department was Song Yutong, and the men's clothing department was still under the responsibility of Lu Yaoyuan.
During the meeting, Tong Shili remained expressionless, seemingly still quite resentful of Yan Zuozuo. However, the matter was already settled, and there was no use in being resentful. Moreover, the position of director required not only personal ability but also excellent relationships; it could be said that Yan Zuozuo's appointment as editor-in-chief was a perfect storm of favorable circumstances.
After the meeting, Tong Shili returned to her office and couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh. How long could this facade of discontent last? She had never cared about power, yet she had no choice but to wield it.
Her phone rang. She glanced at the text message, which was very short: Control Yi Fanxi at all costs!
At all costs...
Tong Shili nearly smashed her phone in anger, but quickly smiled bitterly. Even if she was willing to pay any price, the other party had to accept it. Clearly, Yi Fanxi didn't have those feelings for her.
She hated being manipulated and resented this life of being unable to control her own destiny, but she was powerless to change it. If she wanted to leave the organization, she would face being hunted down, and J would never tell her about her past.
Although Yi Fanxi promised to protect her and tell her about her past, she couldn't bear to leave him after being hunted down her whole life...
