From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 131: Not an Accident
Chapter 131 -131: Not an Accident
“I had someone investigate. Feng Siyu is currently not in Country Z. There was a sudden change with the crew, and the accident occurred on a small island in Southeast Asia. He is now receiving treatment in Country T.”
Qiao Yi was stunned for a moment, not expecting Lu Yanchuan to have gotten such detailed information in such a short time!
After rebooking their flights, Qiao Yi and Lu Yanchuan waited at the airport for a while, only to see Xiao Ting arriving at the airport too.
Qiao Yi was very surprised and puzzled by Xiao Ting’s appearance. They were going to see Feng Siyu; what was Xiao Ting doing there?
“The company just happens to have a project in Country T, she’s going on a business trip.”
Lu Yanchuan explained to Qiao Yi, who hummed through her nose, not sure if she believed him, and stopped looking at Xiao Ting.
“Mr. Lu, the project in Country T is quite tricky. The other party insists that they will only sign the contract if you personally appear, otherwise they feel insecure.”
This reason sounded like nonsense, even someone like Qiao Yi, who didn’t work at the company, could tell.
“Is that their attitude? If so, we can simply give up the project.”
Lu Group wasn’t concerned about giving up a small international project, Lu Yanchuan said casually, but Xiao Ting seemed somewhat reluctant.
“The attitude of the other party does have problems, but this project shouldn’t be given up so easily. The business behind the project’s partner is the largest distributor in Country T, and offending them could affect the entire Southeast Asian market!”
Lu Yanchuan didn’t say anything, just glanced indifferently at Xiao Ting.
Xiao Ting didn’t understand Lu Yanchuan’s thoughts, but Qiao Yi understood very well.
It was obvious that the other party was trying to use this as leverage on Lu Group; this time they want Lu Yanchuan to personally handle the negotiations, and the next time they might demand concessions. In the long run, Lu Group might as well give up their operations in Southeast Asia.
Xiao Ting might have guessed this, but she was even more unwilling to give up the immediate benefits.
“Assistant Xiao, even though we can’t easily abandon the entire Southeast Asian market, the other party also cannot easily give up us as a major partner. You must not boost their morale and undermine our own prestige!”
As Qiao Yi spoke, she hinted at Xiao Ting with her eyes.
Fortunately, Xiao Ting, being somewhat intelligent, didn’t continue pushing for Lu Yanchuan to personally handle the project negotiations, but she still looked a bit unwilling, since no one likes to see their efforts go to waste.
“This issue is also easy to handle. Assistant Xiao just needs to tell them that Lu Group is not going to take on the project and go negotiate business with this company’s competitor. Wouldn’t the current predicament be resolved?”
After learning that Feng Siyu’s injury wasn’t very serious, Qiao Yi could relax, and seeing Xiao Ting’s indecisive expression, she even felt like giving her a suggestion.
Xiao Ting fell silent; Qiao Yi’s method, although simple, was indeed effective.
After Qiao Yi finished speaking, Lu Yanchuan rubbed her head in approval, causing Qiao Yi to grimace and forbid him from messing up her hair.
The three of them quieted down, but Qiao Yi’s phone rang again.
This time it was from Gu Ting.
“How is Yuanyuan now? Is the injury serious?”
“Not too serious; a fracture on the lower leg. He needs a good rest for some time.”
According to Gu Ting, Feng Siyu was injured while climbing as there was an issue with his safety rope, causing him to fall from several meters and resulting in a fracture.
“A safety harness malfunction? The crew didn’t provide a reasonable explanation? Just that it was a problem with the safety rope?”
Usually, extreme sports like climbing require a safety harness. Now, there was an incident of an unreliable safety harness, and Qiao Yi’s sixth sense told her that there was definitely more to the situation!
“Could someone have tampered with it?”
“It’s unlikely. Yuanyuan doesn’t have any enemies in the industry, and today’s safety ropes were randomly selected. Even if someone wanted to sabotage, they would have to damage all the ropes to specifically target Yuanyuan.”
Gu Ting’s initial reaction after the accident was also that someone had intentionally harmed Feng Siyu, but after much thought, he couldn’t find any suspect worth considering, which forced him to abandon that idea.
“Take good care of Yuanyuan, I’ll be there this afternoon. We’ll talk more when we meet.”
Qiao Yi quickly hung up the phone, thought it over, and decided to seek Lu Yanchuan’s help.
“Yuanyuan’s accident was due to the safety rope, but I suspect someone did it deliberately. Can you help me investigate this thoroughly? I want to know whether this was an accident or if someone did it on purpose!”
Lu Yanchuan agreed immediately without a second word, which even surprised Qiao Yi.
Country T is located in the tropics, and although it was already cooler in October back in their home country, Country T was still unbearably hot. Qiao Yi was sweating profusely by the time they disembarked from the plane.
They rushed to the hospital where Feng Siyu was being treated, and when they saw him, he was already sitting up in bed eating.
“My treasure! How could you be so careless and get your leg hurt like this! Does it still hurt, is it serious? I was scared to death when I saw the news on TV this morning!”
Qiao Yi squeezed past Gu Ting and sat beside Feng Siyu, touching the cast on his leg tenderly and scolding Gu Ting before insisting on taking Feng Siyu back home for recovery.
Feng Siyu, seeming amused, waited for Qiao Yi to vent before pulling her back to sit down again.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. It’s just a fracture. The doctor said I’m lucky.”
“I’d rather you never need this kind of ‘luck’ in your life. I don’t care; you’re coming back with me today, and you’re not allowed to participate in such dangerous shows anymore!”
Feng Siyu had to soothe Qiao Yi for a while before she calmed down.
“Okay, okay, I won’t participate anymore. And you, why did you rush over in such hurry? I’m fine, did you end up coming for nothing?”
While the two girls were chatting amiably, Lu Yanchuan signalled to Gu Ting to step outside with him for a talk.
“Yiyi asked me to investigate, and it turns out Feng Siyu’s injury was indeed no accident.”
Gu Ting felt a sudden chill, “What exactly happened!”

“After the accident with Feng Siyu’s safety rope, someone quietly took it away. Following the surveillance, we found the rope in a trash can five kilometers from the accident site, showing clear signs of human tampering.”
This alone was enough to prove that Feng Siyu’s accident was no accident at all!
