Chapter 1824: Overthinking
Fang Yao replied to Feng Qing: "If we check now, I'm afraid we won't find anything. We are in too tight a time frame."
"The head of the family has asked the butler to go to the Qiao family's old house to invite Mrs. Shang and others to come for dinner tomorrow evening. He has also invited some capable members of the clan. I think if the head of the family wants to take action, it will be at the family dinner."
The family dinner Feng Yue hosted this time was different from the first one she hosted.
Hai Ling was invited for the first time, and then Zhan Haoyu and Qiao Han also came. Although Feng Yue also wanted to get rid of Hai Ling halfway according to the plan, she did not succeed.
After that, Feng Yue and Hai Ling met several times, but Feng Yue never invited Hai Ling to the Feng family mansion again.
Many people came from Wancheng this time, and they were all heavyweights from several wealthy families in Wancheng. Without asking, one could tell that they were here to support Hai Ling.
The company managed by Hai Ling was originally a joint investment by those wealthy families. From the very beginning, they stood on Hai Ling's side and provided enough funds to promote Hai Ling so that Hai Ling could compete with Feng Group.
Is it really because of Hai Ling’s ability that her newly established company was able to snatch business from Feng Group?
It's because of the wealthy families behind her.
Many people saw that the backers behind her were powerful and there was no need to worry about her company going bankrupt. Cooperation among everyone could indeed achieve a win-win situation, so they abandoned the Feng Group and cooperated with Hai Ling's company.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Hai Ling to snatch so much business from Feng Group in just a few months.
If Hai Ling's company had not been backed by several wealthy families, it might have been suppressed by the Feng Group before it even started and strangled in the cradle.
Everyone came to support Hai Ling and to seek justice for the death of the previous head of the family, so there were a lot of people, and they were all heavyweights.
Feng Yue invited them to the family dinner, possibly wanting to kill all at once, and those capable people from the Feng Group were also invited to accompany the guests. Maybe Feng Yue wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of them.
Assuming Feng Yue's plan succeeds, there will be no Hai Ling competing with Feng Qing, and there will be no one in the clan capable of rebelling. Feng Qing will then take over the position of head of the family from her mother and will be able to sit firmly on the position.
"Miss, we don't need to intervene in this matter. We have no way to intervene. The head of the family and Mr. Du have hidden guns, and no one has discovered them for so many years. Even if someone discovers it now and asks the police to intervene, Mr. Du has obviously moved the guns in advance."
"It's not that easy to find where he hid his guns again. Even if we intervene, we won't find anything. We might also anger the head of the family, which would be bad for the young lady."
"Miss, you have to be careful. The master of the house might do something to you before the dinner starts."
Fang Yao reminded Feng Qing.
Feng Qing responded to him: "I know, I was prepared."
Feng Qing already knew what kind of person her biological mother was.
She knew her mother didn't want her to be too deeply involved, but she was her mother's daughter. As long as her mother had done things like killing her aunt and younger aunt, and committed illegal acts like possessing guns, there was no way she could be cleared of all charges.
Even if she will not be implicated and sent to jail, her reputation and her future path will be affected.
Her mother arranged a way out for her and let Fang Yao take her away from Jiangcheng.
Feng Qing didn't want to leave like this.
She would wait until the dust settled before leaving.
Leave Jiangcheng openly, not secretly.
She will bear the consequences that she should bear and will never escape.
"Have you found out what the drug contains?"
"Most of the ingredients are sleeping pills, and there is also cartilage powder. These two drugs are the main ingredients. They must have been found out in the hospital, but the doctor never said anything. When asked, he said the results were not out yet."
The message that Fang Yao did not send did not state anything.
Feng Qing understands.
It must be her mother who threatened the doctor behind the scenes.
Given her mother's style, she is capable of doing such a thing.
"Fang Yao, what do you think my mother will do to me tomorrow? Drug me again? Or knock me out?"
Fang Yao was silent.
He could guess many methods, but he didn't know which one the master of the family would use.
Feng Qing did not ask any further questions. Her mother was very unpredictable and Fang Yao was not her assistant, so he could not know her arrangements at the first time.
"It's late. You should take a rest. I'll take a nap too."
Feng Qing sent a message to Fang Yao, asking him to go to bed early.
She put her cell phone on the bedside table and turned off the bedside lamp.
However, she had something on her mind and she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but she still couldn’t fall asleep, so she sat up.
I turned on the bedside lamp again and picked up my phone to check the time. It was already past four in the morning.
Feng Qing simply decided not to sleep, since she couldn't sleep anyway.
She got out of bed, got her coat, put it on, and went out in her house slippers.
The room was quiet.
At this point, everyone is still asleep, even the servants in the house have not yet arrived for work. They usually go to work around six in the morning.
Feng Qing was afraid of disturbing her family, so she walked very lightly, carefully reached the stairs, and then went downstairs carefully.
She didn't turn on the light, but used her cell phone for illumination.
When the lights are on, they are too bright and may easily disturb the people at home.
When she went down to the first floor, she did not deliberately lighten her footsteps, thinking that the noise on the first floor would not be easily heard upstairs.
She walked across the hall to go out. Just as she reached the door of the house and before she opened it, she heard her mother's voice not far behind her.
"Ah Qing, where are you going in the middle of the night?"
Feng Qing was startled.
She turned around reflexively and saw her mother sitting on the sofa.
When she went downstairs just now, she didn't seem to see her mother sitting on the sofa. Why is her mother sitting there now?
"Mom, I have insomnia and can't sleep, so I want to go out for a walk."
"It's not the middle of the night yet. It's already past four in the morning. In another two hours, it will be daybreak."
Feng Yue stood up from the sofa and said, "You are so young and yet you suffer from insomnia? You must be thinking about something. Mom can't sleep all night when she thinks about something."
She came over.
Feng Qing watched her mother approach.
Feng Yue opened the main door with the key herself and said to Feng Qing, "Since both mother and daughter are suffering from insomnia, I will accompany you out to get some cool air and wake you up."
Feng Qing said, "Mom, why are you suffering from insomnia? Do you want to see a doctor? I will be able to recover soon. Besides, I can make up for it during the day."
Her mother didn't allow her to go back to the company, so on the surface, she seemed to have nothing to do. Catering for some sleep at home was exactly what her mother wanted.
"It's normal for the elderly to have light sleep. There's no need to see a doctor. I know my mother's health very well."
After she finished speaking, Feng Yue couldn't help but sneer at her daughter: "You still care about me. I thought you didn't care about me at all. You didn't even have me as your mother in your eyes or heart."
