Chapter 910 A Dangerous Murder

The former subordinate didn't want to talk to Editor-in-Chief Qi anymore, since Editor-in-Chief Qi was no longer his boss.

"If you have nothing else, I'll be going now. It's almost time to get off work."

Editor-in-Chief Qi was furious upon hearing this.

If this had happened a few days ago, he could have easily made that bastard kneel down and beg for mercy.

But not anymore.

He gave his former subordinate a sinister look: "Go."

The former subordinate felt a jolt in his heart and began to complain about his bad luck, wondering why he had to run into someone surnamed Qi.

It's his fault for being so gloating and overjoyed when he saw the man surnamed Qi being beaten so badly.

After he left, Editor-in-Chief Qi also found his own boss.

He and his boss used to be in cahoots.

Now he's been fired, and his boss is also in trouble, having been transferred from the entire department to the logistics department.

This was because his boss had family connections, which is why he wasn't fired immediately.

He sat in his former boss's office, feeling indignant.

"Is Chen Lan's family from Beijing?"

"They can run away, but they can't hide. I refuse to believe that there's no one left in her family!"

His boss glanced at him and said, "You still dare to touch her family? Don't you see how ruthless this woman is?"

"She's a journalist, she must have been plotting against us for a long time."

"Otherwise, the evidence wouldn't have been collected so completely."

"As soon as she left, these things were handed over. Besides her, there must have been someone else pushing things along."

"Besides, this person will protect her. It's unwise for you to target her family at this time."

He might get caught red-handed and go straight to jail.

The boss didn't want to be implicated by that idiot Editor-in-Chief Qi anymore.

“I’ve already investigated who’s helping her; she’s just from an ordinary family.”

"Could he possibly have some hidden identity?"

The boss rolled his eyes, a rare occurrence for him, and cursed the idiot in his heart.

"Don't forget she's also from the capital. She's lived here since she was a child. Is it impossible for her to know any important people?"

"I might not help her normally, but I can be of great help in a critical moment."

Upon hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Qi suddenly remembered someone.

Do you know Professor Sheng from Beijing University?

"It's that very young man who's also quite good-looking."

"Last year in the math competition, that kid led the team abroad and came back to China in the limelight because he won a gold medal."

Besides this, he couldn't think of anyone else for the time being.

Chen Lan has a crush on this man.

He was naturally extremely jealous.

It wasn't that he particularly liked Chen Lan, but rather that this guy looked like the kind of "perfect child" everyone admired.

Good looks, good education, good job, lots of people like you.

Editor-in-Chief Qi felt that compared to others, he was like a stinking rat in the gutter.

Therefore, he hates people who live in the public eye and are in the spotlight!

"Professor Sheng?"

"What's his name?" The boss felt like he'd heard the name somewhere before.

The boss has a wider network of connections than Editor-in-Chief Qi.

"What rock?"

Editor-in-Chief Qi really couldn't remember.

The main problem is that he usually remembers all sorts of random things.

A thought suddenly struck the boss: "You're not talking about Sheng Qingyan, are you?"

"Yes, that's his name. Why? Do you know him?"

Editor-in-Chief Qi had a bad feeling.

He originally thought he had just offended a poor schoolteacher.

Chen Lan would rather like a university teacher than him, and he looks down on Sheng Qingyan.

But what if it was Sheng Qingyan who was plotting against him behind the scenes?

"Just who is he?"

"His surname is Sheng. What do you think his background is?"

The boss's gaze towards the editor-in-chief already carried a faint hint of death.

Why would Editor-in-Chief Qi want to offend such a powerful figure?

Are you tired of your family's life being too smooth sailing?

"So what if my surname is Sheng?"

"Although this surname is relatively uncommon..."

Before Editor-in-Chief Qi could finish speaking, his superior interrupted him: "I think you're just inexperienced."

"Sheng Qingyan should be the eldest son of Shengshi Group."

"What Shengshi Group? Do I know that one?" Editor-in-Chief Qi's expression finally changed.

"How is that possible? If he really is a member of the Sheng family, why would he go to teach at a university? Doesn't he know how to inherit the family business?"

"The Sheng family isn't without an heir. If the eldest young master likes teaching, then let him teach." His superior's opinion was clearly different from his.

Don't underestimate the Sheng family just because they lack power; they are certainly wealthy.

Moreover, the fact that a large family like the Sheng family has remained standing is enough to prove that they are on the same side as Guo Jia.

The financial support they provided to Guo Jia was unimaginable for ordinary people.

So how could the eldest son of the Sheng family not have the ability to bring down Editor-in-Chief Qi's father?

"Did he really do it?" Although Editor-in-Chief Qi still didn't believe that Sheng Qingyan had the ability.

But if he really did it, then it makes sense.

After all, Chen Lan's love is Sheng Qingyan.

It would be perfectly reasonable for Sheng Qingyan to act rashly and anger for the sake of a woman.

"Nine times out of ten, it's probably someone else you offended. Anyway, you're bound to offend people with your mouth, so isn't it normal that you've ended up like this?"

When a boss harbors resentment, he might casually make sarcastic remarks.

Editor-in-Chief Qi could not refute this.

He has indeed offended many people.

Therefore, one should not be too arrogant, otherwise one will cause trouble.

"I advise you to keep a low profile from now on and not to mess with Chen Lan's family."

"Otherwise, your family probably wouldn't be able to save you either."

Editor-in-Chief Qi didn't say anything, but he was clearly not convinced.

The boss noticed and simply added one sentence.

"Unless you feel that your hands are clean, your conduct is upright, and you have not done anything illegal or disorderly."

"If you don't give anyone leverage over you, you can do whatever you want."

Editor-in-Chief Qi dared not say that.

Cats have cat lanes, rats have rat lanes.

Once he's made up his mind, his boss can't change it.

The boss also realized that Editor-in-Chief Qi was not one to listen to advice.

He also came up with a solution: he simply shifted all the blame for the previous incidents onto Editor-in-Chief Qi.

Since he can't clear his name anyway, he might as well take the blame himself.

"I'm leaving now." Editor-in-Chief Qi's mind was filled with thoughts of revenge; the more he thought about it, the more determined he was to vent his anger.

So he left, seething with anger.

No sooner had he left than his boss made a phone call.

Before Editor-in-Chief Qi could even seek revenge on Chen Lan's family, he himself was arrested.

This time, he probably won't be able to get out anytime soon, and he can only reunite with his father and elder brother.

Moreover, an old story about Editor-in-Chief Qi was unearthed.

He often led bullying of his classmates during his school years, and one of the female classmates went missing while they were camping together.

The case was closed after the school paid compensation because the girl's family had a preference for sons over daughters.

But now, it's been brought up again, with claims that Editor-in-Chief Qi led the way in forcing the girl, which later led to her drowning.

The person was gone, and their body was disposed of.

Editor-in-Chief Qi is now involved in this case, and there's no way he can get out now.

He might end up receiving a heavier sentence than his father and older brother.

A human life is nothing to him.
