NOVEL NEXT Chapter 32 Concern!
In the living room, Bai Zhiqing watched Jiang Feng, who was so close, and suddenly felt a bit unfamiliar, as if she was getting to know him all over again.
In the morning, when Nangong Qingcheng brought Jiang Feng into the company, she thought he was just a regular guy with connections, a handsome young man.
But the skills Jiang Feng had just displayed were truly domineering, fearless of heaven and earth, giving her a feeling of being deeply shocked. Moreover, the strong confidence Jiang Feng showed later enveloped her heart with a layer of complex, indescribable emotion.
"Supervisor Bai, your face is swollen. Go wash your face," Jiang Feng picked up Bai Zhiqing's two crystal sandals from the floor, placed them at her feet, and then said.
"Okay!" Bai Zhiqing raised her bare, tender jade feet, put on the sandals, bent over to hook the straps, and then adjusted her dress to ensure no traces could be seen.
During this process, Jiang Feng very consciously turned around, not looking.
Bai Zhiqing felt even fonder of Jiang Feng, went to the bathroom, washed her face with cold water, and then came out to ask Jiang Feng, "Xiao Feng, do I look better?"
"No," Jiang Feng shook his head, "It's quite swollen, you can see it at a glance when you go back."
"Then let's sit here for a bit, wait for the swelling to go down before we go back—Xiao Feng, remember, don't tell Qingcheng what happened here today, otherwise she will worry about me, and let's act like nothing happened, okay?" Bai Zhiqing pleaded as she looked at Jiang Feng.
She and Nangong Qingcheng, although they were in a superior-subordinate relationship, she had long regarded Nangong Qingcheng as her sister.
If Nangong Qingcheng found out about this, firstly, it would be embarrassing, and if Nangong Qingcheng couldn't hold back her anger and insisted on reporting it, it would be troublesome.
"Alright," Jiang Feng noticed Bai Zhiqing's concern and nodded, "I'll get you a wet towel, so you can put it on your face, the swelling will go down faster."
Jiang Feng went to the bathroom, wet a towel with cold water, and placed it on Bai Zhiqing's face when he returned.
When Bai Zhiqing reached out to take it, her fair little hand accidentally touched Jiang Feng's, and in an instant, she had a sensation as if she had been electrified. Her face inexplicably flushed, her heart raced, and she quickly took the towel to her face, looking a bit unnatural.
To be honest, Bai Zhiqing, though naturally charming, appeared carefree and unrestrained, but she had her principles. She didn't mind chatting with men she liked, but to advance a step further would depend on whether the other person had the charm to win her heart.
Since being abandoned by that wretched scumbag, Bai Zhiqing had never met a man who truly caught her eye. But at this moment, for some reason, facing the completely composed Jiang Feng, her heart, which hadn't easily been stirred, was now beating unevenly like a girl experiencing her first love.
Could it be that she's about to play out the absurd scenario of a beautiful supervisor falling for a lowly security guard?
Immediately, Bai Zhiqing shook her head with a bitter smile, feeling ridiculous about the strange thought that had popped into her head. She believed the chances were extremely low, thinking it was likely she hadn't fully calmed down yet, making her heart a mess.
Even so, she still felt somewhat ashamed, her cheeks a bit hot. Luckily, she was covering with a towel so it wasn't visible.
And Jiang Feng indeed didn't notice Bai Zhiqing's random musings; he sat patiently on the sofa opposite Bai Zhiqing, waiting.
"Xiao Feng, just now Ma Chi said you have a vendetta with Jian Hongsheng, even crippling his son. Is that true?" Bai Zhiqing purposely changed the subject, looking at Jiang Feng questioningly.
"Yes," Jiang Feng calmly responded, without a hint of explanation.
This nonchalant attitude surprised Bai Zhiqing even more!
In her view, she couldn't imagine how Jiang Feng, a low-level security guard, could get entangled with such a behemoth as the Jian Family!
Moreover, looking at Jiang Feng, he seemed completely unafraid despite offending the Jian Family, as if it was a trivial matter...
This left Bai Zhiqing speechless!
Even if Jiang Feng was brought by Nangong Qingcheng and had connections with the Nangong Family, that still shouldn't be the case, should it? The scale of the Nangong Family compared to the Jian Family is worlds apart!
If she hadn't softly pinched her palm to confirm it indeed hurt a bit, Bai Zhiqing might have thought she was having an illusion.
At this moment, she didn't realize she was inexplicably very worried for Jiang Feng!
...
Just as Jiang Feng expected, after Ma Chi left the suite, he didn't choose to call the police—he wasn't stupid. If he called the authorities and they checked the surveillance, he would still be the one to suffer. At the very least, the charge of attempted assault would be solidified, and he didn't want to go to jail.
Ma Chi hurriedly took the elevator downstairs. In the elevator, a few waiters recognized him, and seeing his bloody, blurry face, they exclaimed, "President Ma, what happened to you?"
"Get lost!"
Ma Chi furiously pushed away those surrounding him. Once the elevator stopped, he strode out, covering his face, bewildering the hotel's security and lobby manager.
Ma Chi didn't stop for a moment, heading straight to the parking lot, getting into his business Mercedes. He first took out a tissue to wipe the blood off his face, then, ignoring the pain all over his face, pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, is this Brother Hu?" he said through his broken teeth.
"Who are you?" The voice on the other end sounded unfriendly and gruff.
"I'm Ma Chi, the financial director of Jian Group. Earlier, I called Brother Bin, Brother Scar's subordinate, and transferred a 30-million deposit. Brother Bin told me to call you, Brother Hu, for any further matters, saying all further matters were entrusted to you by Brother Scar..."
"Alright, alright, get to the point, stop beating around the bush!" Hu Zi said impatiently on the other end.
"Brother Hu, I found out Jiang Feng's exact location—he beat me up, almost killing me. Luckily I was quick-witted and escaped. Now, with the information I provide, you can quickly find him!" Ma Chi said venomously, filled with deep hatred.
"Oh?" Hu Zi sounded somewhat interested and asked, "Where is he?"
"I don't know where he is now, but earlier he was in room 2808 on the 28th floor of the Golden Lion Hotel. He likely left by now. To find him, go to Fengming Trading and look for a woman named Bai Zhiqing; he's with her!"
"Fengming Trading, Bai Zhiqing! Alright, I got it," Hu Zi responded and hung up.
"Hmph, Jiang Feng, you didn't expect I'd be sending the ledger evidence? Wait to be torn to pieces!" Ma Chi grumbled, eyes filled with dark hatred as he put down the phone, then started his Mercedes and headed to the nearby hospital for treatment.
