"No one asked us to do it. You're the ones who framed me!" Cheng Yi shouted.
Gong Mochen's lips curled into a cold smile. He waved his hand and the bodyguard escorted Cheng Yi out of the room.
Qin Sheng looked at the cold smile on Gong Mochen's face. She knew that this was the rhythm of his rage. He would not speak when he was angry, but would sneer instead. That was the attitude that could take a person's life.
She was just about to talk to Qiu Hui when Gong Mochen's long arm pulled her into his arms and brought her out of the room.
"Third Young Master, please spare Cheng Yi!"
Qiu Hui's cries could be heard from behind Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng's small hand grabbed the man's collar. "Uncle, did Cheng Yi really do it?"
"Yes, don't be soft-hearted. I'll send bodyguards to follow you tomorrow." Gong Mochen lowered his head and looked at his girl.
He knew that she was too kind-hearted. Even if someone had done something wrong to her, she would forgive them if they begged.
Qin Sheng nodded. "Oh, okay..."
Gong mochen tapped the girl's forehead with his finger. "You still got out of the car... What did you promise me just now? Didn't you say that you wouldn't get out of the car?"
Qin Sheng rubbed her forehead. "Maybe I wanted to see you being tall and mighty?"
She spoke in an obedient tone.
Gong Mochen snorted. "So, you're saying I'm big and mighty?"
Qin Sheng's lips twitched and her face turned red. "Uncle, you're bad!"
Something about him being mighty flashed in her mind.
Gong Mochen's lips curved, but this time it wasn't a cold smile, but a warm one. "How am I bad? Aren't my muscles big and mighty? Why are you blushing like that?"
Qin Sheng's small face turned red again in embarrassment. She was sure that her uncle had said that on purpose... He was clearly not talking about muscles!
"Stop being rude!" she said angrily.
She was shy in front of outsiders. Even if he said it in her ear, she would still be shy. She didn't understand why he had to tease her in front of so many people.
Gong Mochen's eyes focused on the girl's red face. He liked her shy look, which made him want to kiss her.
***
When Qin Sheng and Gong Mochen returned to the Qin family's mansion, the news that the person who had stolen the documents had been caught, had already been leaked.
Qin Zixian watched Gong Mochen walk into the living room and stood up. "Congratulations, Third Brother. The person who stole the documents has been caught. Now, the trouble of our company has been solved."
"Yes, the news was released. You did well. When the negative news was released, you were able to stand firm and not let the stock price fall. Now that the positive news has been released, any increase in the stock price will be a gain." Qin Ze praised Gong Mochen.
The only regret was that this child was not his biological son, and this child's wisdom far exceeded that of his second son, Qin Zirui. If there was anyone who could be compared to Gong Mochen, he thought that only his eldest son could do it.
Thinking of his eldest son, who died young, he could not help but look at Qin Sheng. In his old and cloudy eyes, there was a touch of resentment mixed with a touch of pity. He watched her grow up day by day with a conflicted mood.
"Godfather, you flatter me. The matter of the changing the documents can be settled, but I want to investigate the matter of Yan Fei sneaking into my office tonight." Gong Mochen pulled Qin Sheng's hand and sat on the sofa with her.
Qin Zixian's face stiffened because the man's gaze was on her. "Third Brother, you suspect that I let Yan Fei into the room?"
"Only you and Nie Feng have the key to my office. When I go out, Nie Feng locks the door."
The man's words made Qin Zixian's heart skip a beat. Clearly, she was the biggest suspect!
"I didn't do it. I was in the banquet hall during the charity banquet and never went out. Everyone can testify for me. Besides, how, how could I let Yan Fei in?"
Qin Zixian explained and paused. She wanted to say that with her selfishness towards Gong Mochen, she wouldn't let a woman enter Gong Mochen's office to snatch the man she loved. However, these words were swallowed by her. Her prideful temper didn't allow her to admit who she had a crush on, even though this was a secret that everyone knew.
"Where did you put your key? Could it have been stolen?" He Fen was anxious for her daughter. Gong Mochen's rules were very strict. She was afraid that Qin Zixian would anger Gong Mochen because of this matter.
"The key is in my bag. I always carry it with me." Qin Zixian pulled her handbag into her lap and took out the key.
Nie Feng walked over. "Fourth Miss, please give me the key. I'll go check for fingerprints."
Qin Zixian handed it to Nie Feng without hesitation. However, her eyes looked at Qin Yunting.
When Qin Yunting heard about the fingerprint test, her face turned pale.
"Then let's wait for the result of the fingerprint test. Whoever stole the key must be severely punished!" Qin Ze flew into a rage.
Gong Mochen's office was filled with confidential business documents. If these were stolen, the loss would be huge.
"Master, don't be angry. We will find out tomorrow. It's getting late. You should go back to sleep." He Fen got up and helped Qin Ze back to his bedroom.
After Qin Ze left, the others also went to their rooms.
Although He Fen and Qin Ze were husband and wife, they each had their own rooms. Only when the old man was happy, was she allowed to enter his bedroom. However, she could not stay overnight and could only wait for him to wash up before leaving.
The old man would go to her bedroom if he wanted to solve any physiological problems, but he would not stay overnight either.
He Fen's gaze landed on the family photo on the dressing table. There were photos of a family of three. Of course, the woman on the photo was not her, but Qin Ze's first wife, and Qin Ze's eldest son. They were a family, and she was just an outsider, even though she had accompanied Qin Ze for decades.
"Master, I think Mochen's feelings for Qin Sheng are getting more and more serious. I'm afraid Zixian's chances will get smaller and smaller." She waited on Qin Ze to take a bath.
Qin Ze sat in the bathtub and massaged the waves as he closed his eyes.
After a while, he said, "Mochen has his own limits."
He Fen's lips twitched awkwardly. "Master, it's not that I'm biased towards my own daughter. Qin Sheng is actually a girl of the Qin family. Whoever marries Mochen, Mochen will be the son-in-law of the Qin family.
"However, Master, if Mochen really gets together with Qin Sheng, not only will he be your grandson-in-law, he will also be the grandson-in-law of Qin Sheng's grandfather's family. If Mochen really turns against the Qin family and accepts Qin Sheng's grandfather, think about what could happen...
"Don't forget, after Qin Sheng's mother died, what did Qin Sheng's grandfather say? He said that he wouldn't leave a living person in the Qin family."
Qin Ze's eyes suddenly opened. "But he didn't succeed, even after all these years!"
"But still, we need to tread carefully here... We can't let the power slip from our hands!"
