Chapter 613 - HIDING THE TRUTH (1/2)

The first feeling that filled Wang Che's heart after the exposure of the past was not fear for his people. He knew the danger that everyone would fall into if Zhong Feng decided to act on the information he had. However, this was only secondary in his mind.

At that moment, he was just filled with jealousy.

Shun trusted Zhong Feng completely. He treated him wholeheartedly and without any reserve. Wang Che was sure that Shun would do anything for Zhong Feng. In fact, it could be said that Shun only moved and settled down in Supreme City because of Zhong Feng.

For a period in the past, he believed the rumours that Shun had feelings for Zhong Feng. Although he came to realise that it was not true, he still felt like Zhong Feng would always have a better place in Shun's heart and mind.

Even their meeting story was much better.

Wang Che suppressed his petty dissatisfaction and focused on the most immediate problem. He needed to address the problem Zev had caused by fighting with Hu Lei before Zhong Feng acted out of anger.

”Be careful of your words, lest they be misunderstood.” Wang Che said stiffly. ”That is in the past. The people I brought with me were forced into a corner during their childhood. They have embraced their second chance at life.”

Zhong Feng did not respond immediately.

Wang Che sighed. ”The failings of my subordinates are my own. I will ensure they are more thoroughly trained to prevent the recurrence of another incident. I can only offer my deepest apologies to you and Hu Lei and ask for your understanding.”

Zhong Feng did not want to make things difficult for Wang Che because they could be considered friends, even though it was through Shun. However, he could not quell the anger when he thought about someone trying to kill Hu Lei.

Hu Lei never took such things seriously, but that did not mean he would do the same.

”You are correct. Your guards do lack training.” Zhong Feng said. ”I will send someone to provide complimentary training to them for the next two weeks. Consider this a token of our friendship.”

Wang Che pressed his lips together in controlled annoyance because he could not shun responsibility for what happened to Hu Lei. Moreover, he knew that Zhong Feng needed to vent his anger, or he might explode later and do something worse.

He was not so stupid to assume that the so-called trainer was really a token of friendship. It was probably someone that Zhong Feng trusted would punish his guards on his behalf. But strictly speaking, it was a very gentle reaction on Zhong Feng's part, considering Zev's actions.

”Then, I will thank you.” Wang Che said politely, suppressing the discomfort in his heart. In any case, his guards could use a wake-up call and learn that Supreme City was more dangerous and complex than they thought.

Zhong Feng did not pursue the matter further. Unlike in the past when he would meet opposition with extreme force, he was quite mellow after becoming a married man. If he could eat at the same table with Yuan Haoran, he found forgiving Wang Che much easier.

”How is Shun doing?” Zhong Feng asked.
