Chapter 123 Cai Qingqing Has Gone Mad
Chapter 123 Cai Qingqing Has Gone Mad
Although it was supposed to be a wedding photoshoot, Chi Moqing was worried that Yan Zuozuo would get tired. After they changed their clothes, he asked that they didn't need to pose deliberately, but just let the photographer walk with them on the beach. The romantic white wedding dress and the dignified dark suit, Yan Zuozuo and Chi Moqing just walked on the beach as usual. Even without deliberately posing, the deep affection they showed for each other was enough for the photographer to capture.
At first, Yan Zuozuo was a little nervous. She looked up at Chi Moqing and asked, "Will the photos turn out well? Should we strike a few poses? I'm worried they'll look ugly." These were their wedding photos, meant to be cherished memories for a lifetime.
Chi Moqing chuckled softly and affectionately kissed her lips. "This is a keepsake for the baby. We can take more photos whenever you want after you give birth. Don't be nervous."
Yan Zuozuo said, amused and annoyed, "President Chi, you'd better really have that much time to spend with me."
Chi Moqing was speechless, and said with some grievance, "Wife, are you complaining that I don't spend enough time with you?"
"What if that's the case?" Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow, looking rather spoiled.
Chi Moqing chuckled: "Then I'll just have to work harder in bed from now on."
"You rascal!" Yan Zuozuo blushed, having completely forgotten they were taking wedding photos because of Chi Moqing. Suddenly, she spotted a beautiful seashell not far ahead and ran over excitedly to pick it up.
Chi Moqing was worried that she would fall, so he quickly followed and picked it up before she could, placing it in her hand and chuckling, "What should I do? It seems I'll have to take care of three babies from now on. Wife, you have to make it up to me."
Yan Zuozuo wrinkled her nose and said, "Where did these three darlings come from? Do you have illegitimate children outside?" She exclaimed in surprise, puffing out her cheeks angrily, "Aha, President Chi, you'd better tell me the truth, or I'll take my daughter and run away from home."
The more she talked, the more she realized it was true. Chi Moqing held back and hugged her, saying, "Aren't you my precious baby, my most beloved baby?"
Yan Zuozuo snorted, "Sweet talk." But she still liked this little bit of romance and ambiguity, and hugged his waist, laughing as she said, "You better remember what I said today. If you treat our daughter better than me in the future, I'll... Achoo!"
Before she could finish speaking, she sneezed loudly. Chi Moqing was startled and asked worriedly, "Have you caught a cold?"
Yan Zuozuo rubbed her nose and said, "No, it's probably just a bit chilly at the beach."
Chi Moqing took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders: "The scenery in the hotel's back garden is also quite nice. Let's go sit there for a while later." He put his arm around her, and Yan Zuozuo instantly felt a surge of warmth.
Chi Moqing kissed her on the lips, waved to the photographer, and said that they should go to the hotel's back garden to take a few more pictures.
Yan Zuozuo felt embarrassed: "Won't this trouble them?"
Chi Moqing chuckled: "How could that be? This is an advertisement for Lu Yaoyuan. He'd love to film more of these."
Yan Zuozuo suddenly realized why Lu Yaoyuan was so enthusiastic; it turned out that all the clothes they were wearing were his main clothing items for this season, giving him free publicity.
She pouted her little nose and said, "We're asking him for an endorsement fee."
Chi Moqing chuckled and put his arm around her as they walked toward the back garden. "It's necessary. Consider it his contribution to our baby's formula money."
Yan Zuozuo laughed loudly, and Chi Moqing's heart fluttered as he looked at her bright smile. He simply couldn't imagine how agonizing it would be if she weren't by his side.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly pulled her close and kissed her lips, his gaze burning with love. Yan Zuozuo blushed, then, seeing the photographer not far away, glared at him irritably and protested softly, "There are other people here."
Chi Moqing laughed, reached out to tidy her wind-blown hair, and then placed a kiss on her head.
When they finished filming and returned, they saw Lu Yaoyuan drinking alone, clearly in a bad mood. Seeing him like this, Chi Moqing walked over and chuckled, "Reluctant to part?"
He saw Lu Yaoyuan's deep and intense feelings for Chi Ran; it was impossible for him to let go of them so easily.
Lu Yuan frowned and glanced at him. "It hurts. How can I stop the pain? Tell me."
Chi Moqing sighed and patted his shoulder. "If your heart isn't empty, it won't hurt anymore. Since Xiao Ran wants to leave, then let another woman move in. Xiao Ran is my sister, and you are my brother. No matter who it is, I hope you will be happy."
Lu Yaoyuan smiled bitterly: "It's not that easy." If it were that simple to fall in love with another woman, he wouldn't have stayed with Chi Ran all these years. Even now, his heart still belongs only to her.
"How will you know if you don't try?" Chi Moqing chuckled, not stopping him from chugging the wine, but just sighed, and finally put her arm around Yan Zuozuo's shoulder and left.
After taking their wedding photos, they stayed another day, not returning until Monday. But as soon as he got back, he received a call from an unknown number. The man on the other end didn't sound very friendly, asking, "Is this President Chi?"
Chi Moqing frowned: "Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"I am Luo Bin, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of S City. We would like to ask President Chi to cooperate with us in investigating a murder case. The victim's daughter and the murderer are convinced that President Chi is the mastermind. We would like to ask you to cooperate with the investigation."
Chi Moqing frowned deeply: "Who was the victim?"
"Yu Fengjiao, the mother of Ms. Cai Qingqing."
When Chi Moqing arrived at the police station, he didn't know where the news had come from. The entrance was already surrounded by reporters, with flashes going off constantly. It was a sea of people, making it impossible to tell who was who.
"President Chi, are you here to prove your involvement in Ms. Yu Fengjiao's death?"
"President Chi, I heard that Ms. Yu Fengjiao was murdered in the hospital early this morning. Are you the mastermind behind this?"
"President Chi, even the perpetrators have identified you as the mastermind behind the attack. What are your thoughts on this?"
"President Chi..."
Seeing the situation, the assistant hurriedly stepped forward to drive away the media, but unfortunately he was only one person and could not withstand the swarm of reporters. He could only watch helplessly as they surrounded Chi Moqing.
Chi Moqing stood among the reporters and spoke calmly, "I have nothing to say. I only just heard about Ms. Feng Jiao's murder. At that time, I was with my wife and children in the suburbs, about two hours from the city. The reason I am here is indeed to cooperate with the investigation. As for anything else, I believe I don't know more than any of you."
"President Chi, is it true that Ms. Yu Fengjiao is the wife of Cai Yaren, a former high-ranking military officer?"
"President Chi, do you have anything to explain regarding the rumors circulating online about the 'toilet incident'?" the reporters pressed aggressively.
Chi Moqing maintained his indifferent and serious expression: "First of all, the background of Ms. Feng Jiao is not within the scope of my answer; secondly, regarding the online videos, the Public Security Bureau and Chi's Public Relations Department have already issued a joint statement proving that the content is completely untrue, and we will file charges against those who spread malicious rumors."
"The perpetrator has already identified President Chi. What are President Chi's thoughts on this?"
Chi Moqing frowned: "My opinion is to wait for the Public Security Bureau to give its final conclusion."
"President Chi..." A reporter, not wanting to give up, pressed on.
"That's all I can say. I have nothing else to say." Chi Moqing walked straight past the reporter and headed towards the police station. The reporter tried to follow her in, but was stopped by the guards at the entrance.
At the Criminal Investigation Division, Luo Bin asked Chi Moqing questions about the murder case, and Chi Moqing answered truthfully to all of them. His sincere and composed attitude left a good impression on Luo Bin.
"Does President Chi know the murderer, Wang Yuzhu?"
Chi Moqing shook his head: "I don't know him."
“But that’s not what the murderer said. He said you gave him money to kill Yu Fengjiao because she had solid evidence of your tax evasion and bribery of public officials,” Luo Bin said.
"Does Captain Luo believe such a lie?" Chi Moqing asked rhetorically.
"Whether it's a lie or not, we will investigate and find out. Thank you very much for President Chi's cooperation. We will inform President Chi of the results as soon as possible," Luo Bin said.
Chi Moqing nodded and signed the statement. Then Luo Bin said, "Regarding the case of the online video, we are still investigating the uploader, but the other party is obviously well aware of our operations and has already taken the hospital's surveillance footage. In any case, we will do our best to find the suspect."
Chi Moqing nodded: "That will be troublesome. Perhaps you can investigate the surveillance footage near the hospital; maybe you'll find some clues."
Luo Bin nodded and shook hands with Chi Moqing. "It seems this matter is not simple. Someone wants to kill you."
Chi Moqing smiled and said, "Perhaps."
Back at the company, Chi Moqing convened a secret meeting, presumably to discuss the anticipated and remedial measures for the recent continuous decline in Chi's stock price. Those attending were all trusted confidants, and after an afternoon of secret discussions, they finally reached a perfect solution.
After he came out of the office, he received a call from Cai Qingqing, who sounded very smug, "Do you like the gift I gave you?"
Chi Moqing remained expressionless and spoke in a calm voice, "You think you can turn me around like this?"
"Heh." Cai Qingqing chuckled, her eyes suddenly turning sinister. "I told you, I'd make you regret this!"
"So, you tricked me into going to the hospital by pretending that my aunt was sick, and then you pretended to sprain your ankle and went to the bathroom. You had everything planned out, just waiting to take pictures and frame me, right?" Chi Moqing said calmly, her tone devoid of emotion.
Cai Qingqing chuckled: "I didn't understand what you were saying. I clarified it afterward, didn't I?"
A dark, unfathomable light flashed in Chi Moqing's eyes as he said coldly, "This time is the same, isn't it? But I never expected you to be so heartless as to harm even your own mother. Cai Qingqing, you've gone mad."
Upon hearing this, Cai Qingqing became agitated. As if provoked, she gritted her teeth and said, "Whose fault is this? If it weren't for you, would I be like this today? You're the one who ruined me, you ruined my father, and you killed my mother too. That's right, it's all my doing, because I hate you, I'm going to destroy you!" She shouted wildly, her eyes becoming chaotic, completely devoid of reason.
Chi Moqing pursed his lips, listening indifferently to her rage. Cai Qingqing's voice came again, a crazed laugh, "Chi Moqing, since you won't let me have an easy time, then let's die together. Anyway, I have nothing left to live for!"
"You think what you did can't be investigated?" Chi Moqing found it ridiculous. Was she crazy, or was he, Chi Moqing, really that useless in her eyes?
"What good will it do to investigate thoroughly? The Chi family is destined to be destroyed. Don't even think about climbing up the ladder by stepping on my father's shoulders and living a life of luxury. Let me tell you, I won't let you have your way!"
Even if she can't destroy him as a person, she'll destroy everything he owns!
