At first, when Zheng Wenting has read the things, he wasn't able to make out from it. But now that he has re-read it, the manipulation of the terms and facts could easily be seen. Though on the surface it looks like he and his people were at fault, but actually when seen thoroughly one could easily tell that the facts were fabricated in a way to make it look like that.
"President Feng, why are you doing this? I am sure this couldn't just be about one project. You are deliberately aiming at me and my company." Zheng Wenting asked straight, not hiding his thoughts anymore. There were no longer doubts in his mind, he was surer of it.
Wen Sying was unable to read between their conversation. "Wenting, what are you saying? Why would President Feng do something in our harm? This must be because of Li Xue's words against him last night. Let me explain to him the things. I am sure he would understand when he knows that Li Xue has always been outrageous in the situations like this."
She said without caring about the threatful gaze the man was giving her way. Zheng Wenting had enough with her. At the moment, he didn't think that explaining things again to her would serve any purpose. So not caring to repeat it, he turned back to look at Feng Shufen to say, "President Feng, I can see you are holding some grudge against me. What is it about?"
Feng Shufen looked at him and smiled. His curl, holding a tease that was enough to make the man burn in curiosity. "You got the sense to realize it now. Of course, my plan has always been to corner you until you have no escape." After a really long while, his frosty-raspy voice rang in the air, almost making it sound like the judgment from the seven Heavens.
And just those words from Feng Shufen were enough to prove Wenting's thoughts right. He didn't need any more explanations to understand it. "Feng Shufen, do you even know what you are doing? I won't let you succeed in your plans." He yelled, not believing that he could be helpless to an extent where he has no way. He struggled on the chair to break, but as before, the more, he struggled the more he felt the pain.
"Is that so?" Feng Shufen really wanted to chuckle but feeling the suppressed rage inside his heart was not letting him do so. His fists clenched over his crossed knees as his frosty eyes were just not leaving Zheng Wenting. "Do you think you have a way?"
Zheng Wenting didn't know. Having a way to escape from Feng Shufen seemed impossible to him, but somewhere inside, he felt that there might be a way. Like there would be a person who would help him in the situation.
Right at that moment, from a distance, there came the sound of running footsteps. As if someone was coming their way in a rush. Zheng Wenting's brows scrunched as his eyes showed a little expectation for that one person.
While Feng Shufen's brows furrowed. Just by his frown, it was evident to know that he wasn't expecting someone at the moment.
Understanding his frown, Gao Fan at once nodded to go and check but just at the moment, he was about to turn and leave, the door of the cell was once again pushed open from outside, stunning everyone inside the room.
The woman who has come was dressed in her casual clothes and had hints of fear on her face. Her rushed casual outfit was enough to let one know that she has just rushed out from her house without caring to change her dress. Her eyes were scanning inside the room as if desperately trying to find someone or something, she almost thought she lost.
"Li Xue!" Zheng Wenting mumbled, for a moment feeling the bloom of happiness in his heart, while at the side, Wen Sying was still in a daze.
Gao Fan looked at the door, blinking his eyes at the lady but when saw Du Fan, out at the distance, he understood what must have happened. His head bowed slightly to greet the lady. But his small gesture went missed by people as all were too surprised in their own world to find Li Xue coming all the way in like this.
"What's happening here?" Li Xue said as her eyes went to look at tied-up Wen Sying and Zheng Wenting. Though she was expecting them here already, she was still surprised about something in her heart. They were fine, luckily. She breathed in relief internally, thinking that she wasn't too late to reach here.
Slowly, her eyes darted to get on the man, especially for who she was here. And soon she found him standing at the side, looking at her for quite a while now. No doubt he looked upset. But was he upset at her?
There seems the possibility of that, otherwise, seeing her come all the way to the place he wouldn't have stayed distant from her. She looked at him and then turned to look at Gao Fan, who has kept his expression all blankly stoic at the moment. The cold air inside the room didn't scare her, but the strict expression of Feng Shufen did.
What she should do now?
Li Xue pressed her lips together as looking at him, she drew close. Zheng Wenting looked at her and felt something was off. To him, Li Xue looked like a moth who was just moving closer and closer to the flame, being all oblivious to the end she was getting doomed to.
"Li Xue!" He called, not wanting her to get anywhere near Feng Shufen. His eyes showed his fear for her.
On his call, Li Xue halted and slightly turned to look at him with a bit frown of brows. And seeing her gaze getting on him, Zheng Wenting urgently said, "Don't go near him. He is not the right one." His voice sounded concerned, but who said one could show concern to just anyone.
Li Xue felt his concern but didn't think of respecting it. Under his watchful gaze, she turned back to look at Feng Shufen, before resuming her steps again to him.
To Zheng Wenting her actions felt out of her character. She looked more like she was under the cast of a spell and didn't know what was exactly happening around.. But tied up on the chair how could he stop her? He wanted to rush to her but he was too helpless to do that.
