Chapter 785: Chapter 788: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Murong Fei drove Qin Tian to Lu Qing’s residence.
Lights were on in the villa of Jiangnan Xiaozhu, indicating that Lu Qing had already returned.
"This house is nice," said Qin Tian.
After Qin Tian got out of the car, Murong Fei gave him a aningful look, glanced at the villa’s second-floor lights, left a remark, and went off to the company.
Qin Tian stood at the villa’s entrance. After watching Murong Fei leave, he then opened the door and walked into the villa.
"Ah, this is... a debt of love!" Qin Tian thought about Murong Fei, Lu Qing, Liu Fei’er, and Du Qiuniang, feeling overwheld, "It seems I’m not ant to go on alone. Well, it’s going to be lively in the future."
As he mused, Qin Tian approached the villa’s hall just in ti to see Lu Qing, dressed in pajamas, descending the stairs.
"Did President Fei send you here?" asked Lu Qing.
Lu Qing, in a silver-white nightgown with her long hair draped, walked down with the air of a noblewoman.
"Mhm," replied Qin Tian.
He sat down on the sofa as Lu Qing ca over and made him a cup of hot tea, handing it to him, "I guessed that once you arrived in Zhonghai City, you’d go to her first. So, how was it, did you express your gratitude to her?"
"We had dinner together," said Qin Tian.
Qin Tian knew that Lu Qing was curious about his relationship with Murong Fei, and he was actually planning to find the right mont to clarify things to Lu Qing, but not now.
After sipping so tea, Qin Tian changed the subject and asked Lu Qing, "How’s the situation with Qin Real Estate?"
As the conversation shifted to serious matters, Lu Qing imdiately straightened up and sat close to Qin Tian, saying earnestly, "We’ve only temporarily resolved the funding issue. Our sales departnts for the two properties can’t operate normally right now; we have owners causing trouble every day. We also have one building we expected to sell out before the end of the year, but now it might not sell because of these people’s nuisances."
"Did you call the police, and they didn’t care at all?" he asked.
"Yeah, they say it’s the property owners asserting their rights and there’s no vandalism or disturbance, so they can’t get involved."
"Hmph, what a good excuse," Qin Tian snorted coldly as he held his teacup.
After a mont of thought, he asked, "What about the Qin Group’s hotel? Has the police investigation revealed anything?"
"The results of the custor poisoning are out; it was one of our chefs who accidentally brought rat poison from ho into the kitchen and during a busy mont, mistook it for seasoning and added it to the dishes. The chef has been detained, and the police are still inquiring about the details."
"Hmm, as for the compensation... Wang Ziming and the others who were called by the police to give statents have now returned to the hotel and are working normally. With President Fei’s help, the Qin Group’s hotel has reopened. However, Wang Ziming is still negotiating compensation with the families of the deceased custors. It’s estimated that it will cost at least three million yuan," she said.
After Lu Qing finished speaking, Qin Tian fell silent.
Two minutes later, Qin Tian pulled out a cigarette, stood up, and walked alone into the villa’s garden to think.
Lu Qing watched him, not speaking; she understood Qin Tian and knew that when he smoked, he was either in a bad mood or facing a difficult problem.
A few minutes later, having finished the cigarette, Qin Tian walked back into the living room and looked at Lu Qing: "Sister Qing, this matter is definitely not simple. Soone must be targeting us!"
Qin Tian’s tone was decisive.
Lu Qing had also considered this issue. After all, the incidents had occurred so abruptly, and it was both Qin Real Estate and Qin Hotels that were affected. Nothing went wrong for an entire year, but now, troubles ca one after another, which was too suspicious.
Especially those hoowners from Qin Real Estate; they were being completely unreasonable. Lu Qing felt that they were not there to solve problems but to create them!
However, in her heart, Lu Qing only suspected that soone was targeting the Qin Group, but she had no evidence.
"Did you discover sothing?" Lu Qing asked.
"Humph, no, the other party’s actions were flawless, but they can’t escape my discerning eye."
"Without evidence, we also can’t find out who is targeting us, right? Or, could it be a coincidence, and we’re overthinking?"
"Impossible, it is definitely soone ssing with us! Definitely!"
This matter was too serious, especially with the incident at Qin Hotels. It was exposed by the newspapers just a few hours after it occurred, clearly preditated!
"This matter, that Zhonghai Newspaper, is definitely involved as well."
Qin Tian spoke with finality, looking at Lu Qing, "The first to expose the incidents at Qin Hotels and Qin Real Estate was the Zhonghai Newspaper. Qing sister, do you think this is a coincidence?"
Lu Qing had a mont of realization, "Indeed... But how are we going to find out who is targeting us?"
"You don’t need to worry about this matter; just do what you need to do. Now that I’m back, humph, I will investigate this thoroughly!" Qin Tian’s eyes were sharp as torches.
The next morning, Qin Tian called Jiang Hu to co to the Jiangnan Residence and asked him about the investigation into Qin Hotels.
"We have so leads now. That chef who mistook rat poison for seasoning is nad Wang Wenjun. This incident is definitely not a coincidence. I found out that a few days ago, Wang Wenjun’s girlfriend bought a BMW. This is too unusual. Wang Wenjun is a worker, and his girlfriend is a KTV hostess. With their inco, how could they possibly afford a BMW?"
Jiang Hu was serious, "This Wang Wenjun definitely has a problem, but the current situation is that he is in the police station; we might not have the chance to interrogate him."
"And his girlfriend, I think she’s just a gold digger who probably doesn’t know where Wang Wenjun’s sudden wealth ca from. The only breakthrough is to interrogate Wang Wenjun. We will definitely learn sothing."
The results of Jiang Hu’s investigation were almost the sa as Qin Tian’s suspicions the night before; the chef Wang Wenjun must have been bought off with a hefty sum.
However, Wang Wenjun was now locked up in jail. How could they interrogate him to get information?
"It seems we need to find an opportunity to forcibly break into the prison."
Qin Tian touched his nose, looking at Jiang Hu, "About the matter at Qin Hotels, after we interrogate Wang Wenjun, we should get so results. Jiang Hu, let’s head to Qin Real Estate’s Dah Lake sales departnt first."
"Boss, what for?"
"The Dah Lake sales departnt has been blocked by so protesting hoowners these past few days, completely disrupting normal business. I suspect that these hoowners are also being directed by soone. Let’s go and see if we can dig up so information."
Qin Tian drove with Jiang Hu to the Dah Lake sales departnt.
Just like the rumors, dozens of hoowners were holding banners in front of the Dah Lake sales departnt, demanding justice. The doors of the sales departnt were firmly closed, with only about a dozen security guards on alert at the door.
Qin Tian watched those hoowners shouting for their rights, pointed at the man leading them, and whispered to Jiang Hu:
"Jiang Hu, see the man at the front leading the chants? Later on, sneak him into the car!"
