281: Chapter 281 Changle Resort 281: Chapter 281 Changle Resort This incident was a false alarm, and Su Qingyu did not want to escalate it, since it would negatively impact the corporation.
Therefore, the official statement claimed it was a minor accident in the office.
But would Ye Shikai let it go?
This incident had harmed Su Qingyu, and Ye Shikai would not let those responsible off the hook.
Taking advantage of the brief hiatus when the police were present, Ye Shikai had already notified Jeddon to quickly identify the person who sent the package, hoping to trace the clues back to the mastermind behind the scenes.
On the other hand, even if Ye Shikai did not provoke them, it wouldn’t be long before they would strike again, and who could guarantee whether the next bomb would be real or fake?
If necessary, it was crucial to preemptively take the initiative.
“How did you know something would happen here?” After cleaning up the office, Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu sat on the sofa, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
“Someone anonymously tipped me off.” Ye Shikai placed the bullet on the table.
“A note was stuffed inside this specially crafted bullet.”
“How could this be?” Su Qingyu examined the bullet closely, somewhat surprised.
What Ye Shikai didn’t understand was who was threatening Su Qingyu and who was secretly tipping him off.
Based on the note left with the bomb, the intimidator definitely did not want Tianya to cooperate with the Wu Family.
According to what Luo Shiqi had said, the Ji Family were the prime suspects.
In this project, Tianya was the Ji Family’s biggest competitor.
Although the Ji Family, a Giant, far surpassed Tianya in terms of networking resources, Tianya was not inferior in strength, and it was exactly this strength gap that made the Ji Family resort to fake bomb threats, hoping to intimidate Su Qingyu into backing down.
Moreover, to dare to place a fake bomb in the city center, the perpetrator must be utterly confident.
The Ji Family, known as one of Yanjing’s four major families, certainly had the capability.
So, from every angle, the Ji Family was the most suspicious.
However, who was this person passing messages in secret?
Ye Shikai could not fathom it, and what puzzled him even more was how that person knew the intimidator’s plan and then informed Ye Shikai in advance.
“Qingyu, what are your thoughts moving forward?” Ye Shikai asked.
“I certainly won’t give up.
I must succeed in the cooperation with the Wu Family.” A stubborn expression appeared on Su Qingyu’s face, warming Ye Shikai’s heart.
This was the confident, composed Su Qingyu of old, carrying the demeanor of a business queen.
On one hand, Ye Shikai supported Su Qingyu’s decision; on the other, he had arranged for many Netherworld Palace guards to come over and protect her in secret.
After dealing with the aftermath, Su Qingyu continued to work in the office, and aside from the few people present, no one else knew what had happened today.
Ye Shikai sat in the car, looking at the bullet in his hand, and thought of someone.
If it was indeed the work of the Ji Family, then this person secretly informing him was very likely to be…
At Heaven Mall, inside an ice cream shop.
“Ji Yu, is the ice cream good?” Ye Shikai had asked her out immediately, expecting her to hesitate, but to his surprise, she agreed without a second thought.
“Yummy, why aren’t you eating?” Ji Yu enjoyed the ice cream in front of her like a child.
Back when Ji Yu was a spy, she wasn’t friendly towards Ye Shikai, but since Ji Qian mediated between them, their relationship had improved.
They also had some private communications.
If it really was the Ji Family trying to intimidate Su Qingyu, and someone knew about their plan in advance and was willing to reveal it to Ye Shikai, then that person was most likely Ji Yu.
“Er, I’m a bit bored today and couldn’t find anyone to hang out with, so I had no choice but to come to you.” Ye Shikai came up with a rather far-fetched excuse.
Although it was a bit far-fetched, he was just trying to test Ji Yu.
If she wasn’t the shooter, she wouldn’t be suspicious; if she was, she would definitely slip up later.
“Sure, I’m sort of bored at school too.
The courses are all too easy.” Ji Yu replied excitedly.
She didn’t even bother to wipe the ice cream off the corners of her mouth, nodding eagerly.
“Great, take a look at what this is.” Ye Shikai took out two gold cards from his pocket with a cheeky smile.
“Changle Resort, VIP card.” Ji Yu took the cards and read the words on them aloud.
“Yeah, it’s a newly opened resort, really fun.
I asked a friend for two VIP cards, one of which is for you.” This resort was the very one that Luo Shiqi had taken him to last time.
The cards were also obtained from her.
One must admit, Luo Shiqi is truly lavish—that even these VIP cards are made of pure gold.
They must cost a fortune.
“Eh, wait, you’re usually not so enthusiastic.
What’s with the unusual fervor today?
Is there something going on?” Suddenly, Ji Yu’s face showed a wary expression.
When things are abnormal, there must be a demon at play; insincerity surely hides a ghost.
Ye Shikai had to admit, this woman’s intuition was really sharp.
I wouldn’t harm you.” Ye Shikai had to say, from the current situation, it seemed that Ji Yu really wasn’t the one passing messages secretly.
With such an innocent expression, even an old hand like Ye Shikai couldn’t spot any flaws.
But remembering their last encounter at the Yanjing Hotel, this harmless-looking young lady had played him and Tianjing around in circles and was also a highly mysterious “spy” from Yanjing, Ye Shikai had to stay on guard.
Women, they are born actresses, as the saying goes.
After an hour’s drive, they arrived at the resort.
The reason Ye Shikai brought her here was, of course, to ascertain whether she was the shooter.
Ye, welcome.” Upon entering, Ye Shikai saw the resort’s manager, Sun Li.
Of course, this guy was also one of Luo Shiqi’s subordinates.
Since he saw Ye Shikai’s relationship with Luo Shiqi last time, he has been trying to curry favor non-stop.
Although Ye Shikai disliked this kind of person, he indeed needed his help now.
While Ji Yu went to the restroom, Ye Shikai quietly spoke with Sun Li.
Ye, I’ll take care of it right now.” Sun Li nodded respectfully and then left with a few people.
“Yu, there’s a hunting activity in this resort, shall we give it a try?” When Ji Yu returned, Ye Shikai put on a playful and happy face and pointed towards a forest in the distance.
Great, let’s go!” Ji Yu said excitedly, her eyes narrowed into slits with her smile.
Ye Shikai drove the sightseeing car and soon arrived at the hunting area, a large forest with many wild animals.
Nearby, there was also an indoor shooting range built for shooting enthusiasts.
“Eh, how come there’s no one here?” Ji Yu looked around and found the place deserted.
“Oh, the resort isn’t officially open yet.
Only VIPs can come in, so there are very few people,” Ye Shikai explained.
Just to be safe, he had just asked Sun Li to clear the area.
