I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 370

“Noted. I’ll look into this matter right away,” Zhou Zheng said as he also began to realize how grave the problem at hand was. “Mr. Li is also in K Nation at this moment!”

“Li Heng? He’s no longer in C Country?” Fu Chengyan frowned as he continued, “Pei Huan and Bao are both there, too?”

“Yes, it seems that Mr. Li’s presuming that the culprit is in K Nation!” Zhou Zheng looked at his superior as he spoke, awaiting his response. Fu Chengyan motioned with a casual handwave. “I see. Keep in touch with Li Heng from time to time. And remind him to be careful as well: the one who poisoned Pei Huan and Bao might not necessarily be Li Cenbei, as we thought.”

Fu Chengyan had a strong hunch that whoever the perpetrator was, that person’s target wasn’t just the Li clan. The Fu clan might very well be on the list, too, now that even both Pei Huan and Bao had also become victims.

He had sent his men to C Country to find out more about Li Cenbei ever since his demise. He hadn’t been able to fully grasp the full picture of that man’s character, but he was sure about one thing——Li Cenbei’s feelings for Pei Huan was very real, so real that he even once had the idea of bringing her together with him to death.

But Li Cenbei clearly cared for her very much. He wouldn’t have had the heart to infect Pei Huan with the virus even if his personal agenda were busted. If he were ever forced into making the decision of dragging Pei Huan to death together, it could only mean that he didn’t have the antidote himself.

Fu Chengyan quietly analyzed as he pursed his lips. He looked somber. If his deductions were correct, it would mean that this mysterious person hiding behind the shadow of Li Cenbei was the true mastermind. Who is this person? What are his objectives? Fu Chengyan had no clue.

“Mr. Fu, you mean to say that Mr. Li and the others are still at risk of being in danger?” Fu Chengyan’s train of thought broke at Zhou Zheng’s question.

“I don’t think so, not for the time being.” The culprit seems like a vigilant person. It’s highly unlikely that the person would make a rash move at this point and risk exposing himself or herself. Pinching his eyebrows briefly, he directed his assistant, “For now, focus on investigating Shen Qianan. Dig as much as possible into everything that’s happened while I was away from Jiang City, including every person whom she’s been in contact with!”

“Understood!” Zhou Zheng answered promptly. He then hesitated for a second, straightened himself, and added, “Mr. Fu, earlier on Mrs. Fu… “

“Yes?” Fu Chengyan looked up. “What about her?”

“When Mrs. Fu came upstairs earlier, I accidentally spilled the beans on the chairman’s birthday that’s coming up in two days.” Zhou Zheng carefully observed Fu Chengyan’s expression as he explained slowly, and was relieved when he didn’t see any signs of disapproval from his boss. “I thought since Mrs. Fu is now a part of the Fu clan, it’s only natural that she would attend his birthday, so… “

“You’re so nosy!” Fu Chengyan replied with a side glance, though there was not a single hint of disappointment or rebuke in his words. “Anyway, go have a look at House of Chigu and keep me updated on their latest products.”

“Yes, Sir. If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave.”

“Hm.” Fu Chengyan dismissed Zhou Zheng with a wave of his hand. As his assistant left, he frowned slightly at the reminder of his grandfather’s birthday.

How could he have forgotten that Fu Zhengyun’s birthday was in two days?

He pinched his brows again for a second, then dialed Shi Nuan’s number on his cellphone.
