Chapter 610 - His Life and Death

Chapter 610: His Life and Death

After the incident, he had regretted it so much that his intestines had churned. In addition, Assistant Wang had used this incident to extort him. He was sure that Assistant Wang had set him up. She had tampered with the room card and drugged him.
Gu Shen and Ling Sheng had also entered the wrong room, so he had not dared make a commotion, fearing that he would be implicated. After all, the two of them were people he could not afford to offend. With Huo Xuanzhou in the picture, he had not dared say anything.
Ling Sheng looked at Feng Yao. “Director Feng, can I ask if you met Song Xi when you checked in?”
Feng Yao shook his head. “I’m not familiar with Song Xi. I’ve never seen her before. I only saw Du Manqing.”
Then, his expression changed.
Before he had spoken to Du Manqing, he had left to make a call. About ten minutes later, he had returned and had another drink.
In that case…
Feng Yao looked at Ling Sheng, his face ashen from anger. “It was her?”
“I think so.” Ling Sheng saw that he had finally thought it through. His assistant must have wanted to extort him at the last minute but had not planned ahead. However, because he had thought that it was all his assistant’s fault, he had not considered any other possibilities.
After all, if his assistant had wanted to spike anything he drank or ate, he wouldn’t have suspected anything. He never suspected Du Manqing.
“What a vicious thought!” Feng Yao had not expected it to be her.
Now that he thought about it, he figured out what he had been unable to understand. Besides his assistant, Du Manqing was the person most likely to have done something to his card. She had time, and her motive was to ruin Ling Sheng’s reputation.
If he had not taken the wrong room card from Gu Shen back then, he and Ling Sheng would have been the ones in the room. He had also been drugged and had lost his self-control. It was obvious what would have happened.
After being exposed, Ling Sheng would have been the evil mistress who had ruined someone else’s happy family. She would have deserved to be cursed.
Meanwhile, he would have also become a scumbag who had broken his word and cheated on his wife with Ling Sheng. His image as a good man would have been ruined, and he would have been attacked by netizens. His career would have suffered a serious blow, and his wife would have divorced him. He would not have been able to survive in the entertainment circle anymore.
“Director Feng, it’s good that you understand.” Ling Sheng looked at the man in front of her. She knew that he might be a good man, but a man who could not control his third leg was actually quite pitiful. However, under the circumstances, it should be very painful and difficult to restrain oneself. “I promise that what happened between you and Assistant Wang will end here.”
Thankfully, she had asked him about it. She had almost blamed it on Song Xi.
“Thank you.” Despite everything, Feng Yao thanked her for telling him the truth. His heart felt cold. In the entertainment circle, one could never know if the person smiling at them was a human or a ghost with a mask.
He had once trusted that woman so much and had helped her when she had been a newbie. He had watched her get where she was today step by step, but she had wanted to use him to destroy another enemy of hers, completely ignoring how it would affect his life.
Women!
When they were ruthless, they were really heartless.
Ling Sheng could not get involved in other people’s family matters, but this incident had started because of her. Du Manqing had wanted to frame her, and Director Feng was just a convenient tool she had chosen in advance. She thus said, “Director Feng, no matter what’s really happened, this has something to do with me. I’ll get someone to talk to Assistant Wang. I promise she won’t make this matter public.”
