Chapter 337: Inferior

She hadn't mentioned this to them at all; there was definitely something fishy about it.

"Yes, someone had been to see President Tian before you did." Faced with the interrogation, Li Shuangshuang actually admitted right away that she had seen the person who knocked on the door.

This was beyond Qi Fei's expectations, and he asked in confusion, "Such an important matter, why didn't you tell me that night?"

"That was just a delivery person; I didn't think it was important." Li Shuangshuang clearly didn't think there was any problem with this.

"A delivery person? Which courier service delivers at midnight?" Qi Fei frowned.

"That... that..." Li Shuangshuang was stumped by the question and muttered, "I didn't think that much about it at the time."

"By the way, did you call your mother from inside the car?" Qi Fei remembered the bug found in the car and roughly realized how the person who sent the message to Tian Mi knew they were tailing her.

Sure enough, Li Shuangshuang nodded.

"Right, over the past year, the person closest to Dong Ziwu was you. Besides family, has anyone else driven this black car you two used?" Qi Fei asked.

An embarrassed look appeared on Li Shuangshuang's face, and she whispered, "Sometimes he would ask colleagues from the department to help drive..."

Qi Fei sighed inwardly; it was just as he had guessed. Dong Ziwu had started putting on airs as soon as he took office, and the person who drove for him was very likely the real murderer.

"Do you know who he asked to drive?"

"That's not certain. I saw that sometimes when he was on the phone, he would just find whoever was free."

"So more than one person has driven for him?"

"Yes..."

"Do you know which people?"

"That's hard to say. Maybe most of the people in the Computing Department have helped out." Li Shuangshuang's voice grew quieter and quieter.

The Computing Department of Nancheng Investment was a key newly established department of the group, staffed by the most essential personnel. However, one couldn't see the vigor of entrepreneurship on their faces; instead, they were all dejected, even carrying quite a bit of resentment.

"I'm a legitimate undergraduate and master's graduate from Nancheng University. Compared to Dong Ziwu, I just lack a pair of parents who know how to play the game. My family doesn't know those leaders. But this isn't my fault; why does he treat me like a lower-class person?" a young man of similar age to Dong Ziwu said excitedly.

"You've still got it easy, you just drove him to meetings. I'm the one who had it miserable, running errands to buy flowers for him. In this department, everyone is his servant," the female employee next to him said irritably.

"Forget it, the person is gone, you guys should say less," Lao Qian said helplessly from the side.

"It's precisely because he's gone that we dare to speak. Otherwise, if it reached President Tian's ears, she'd give us a hard time again. To tell you the truth, hearing that he had an accident, we didn't feel sad at all; we even felt relieved. These days of 'accompanying the prince to study' were really enough!" another employee said angrily.

Qi Fei hadn't expected that the screening of suspicious persons would turn into a venting session.

Dong Ziwu's indiscriminate ordering around of department staff had now become the best smokescreen for the murderer. Everyone harbored dissatisfaction toward him, and everyone was a suspect.

However, when asked if anyone had been called to drive on the day Dong Ziwu went missing, everyone flatly denied it.

At this moment, Meng Qian appeared in Qi Fei's field of vision. She was the one who provided the clue that Dong Ziwu had gotten into the black sedan, yet at this moment, she stood far away, showing no intention of joining the venting.

Qi Fei took the initiative to go up and ask her, but Meng Qian walked away upon seeing him.

Qi Fei followed her all the way to a quiet corner in the corridor outside the office.

"I don't want to discuss my relationship with Dong Ziwu in front of them." Meng Qian's expression was haggard. "During this period, the love triangle between me, Dong Ziwu, and Li Shuangshuang has spread outside the group. Even my college classmates have come to ask me." As she spoke, she buried her face in her hands and wept aggrievedly. "I'm his legitimate girlfriend, but now they all say I'm the 'other woman'."

Qi Fei was at a loss and said tactlessly, "I know you're very hurt, but I still have a question I want to ask you. Since you've been with Dong Ziwu for many years, you wouldn't fail to recognize his car. Was the black sedan he got into that day his own?"

Meng Qian shook her head: "I don't know. I was in a fit of anger that day, I just saw the car stop..."

"Not even a slight impression?" Qi Fei asked relentlessly.

"Actually, I'm not familiar with his car..." Meng Qian said, feeling even more bitter. "To avoid exposing our relationship, every time we went out together, we took a taxi, so... I really can't say."

"Senior brother, I need to borrow your place." Zhong Xiaoyu walked into Jiang Tianyi's psychological counseling room and said politely. And the word "polite" had never been associated with Zhong Kui.

"You've decided to come back, that's great." Jiang Tianyi looked at the long-lost Zhong Xiaoyu before him and said with relief.

"Yeah, Qi Fei asked me for help to assist an eyewitness in recalling the details of that time. I need a professional venue to hypnotize her." Zhong Xiaoyu's hand brushed over the familiar recliner; once, such a counseling room was her beloved little world.

"Your hypnosis skills are at a much higher level than mine. Qi Fei found the right person," Jiang Tianyi laughed.

As they were talking, Qi Fei accompanied Meng Qian into the counseling room.

With the departure of Qi Fei and Jiang Tianyi, only Zhong Xiaoyu and Meng Qian remained in the room.

Under Zhong Xiaoyu's guidance, Meng Qian slowly closed her eyes on the recliner and began to fall into her memories: "The wind at the entrance of the building was very strong. I was furious, pulling on Dong Ziwu's clothes, demanding a promise from him. Dong Ziwu viciously pushed my hand away. I've known him for so many years and have never seen him like this; it was truly heartbreaking. I don't know when that black sedan stopped at the side of the main gate. When Dong Ziwu saw that car, it was like seeing a life-saving straw. He said he had an appointment to discuss business and was running late, so he had no time to chat with me.

I questioned him about who he had such an important appointment with. He got angry, called me a crazy woman, pushed me aside, and walked toward the car. I watched him pull open the car door and close it very forcefully."

"You were very angry and kept staring at the car. What did you see? For example, the person driving." Zhong Xiaoyu's voice drifted outside the memory scene, guiding Meng Qian into the depths of her memory.

"Yes, I stared fixedly at that car. The person driving was wearing a hat and turned back to say something to Dong Ziwu."

"What kind of hat?"

"That kind of fisherman's hat, the kind you wear when fishing..."

"Anything else?"

"Oh, when the car drove away, I saw the rear window. Inside was that plush toy, the one Dong Ziwu and I won together from a claw machine. I remember now, that was his car." ===== CHAPTER 338 =====
