Madam's Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 542: Rising Through the Ranks

He tapped the cigarette lightly as if asking a casual question.

Gu San immediately smiled. “He replied. He personally brought his men along to the hospital to get Wei Qi. That Wei Ling even tried to counter him. She called someone from Beijing and even Wei Dongshan in front of his face. Tsk, it was useless! Given what Miss Qiao has handed us, it would be too kind even if we were to ask for Wei Qi’s life in exchange. She has no idea what the situation really is now and thinks that she has the means to protect that heir. She shows off her prowess to Cai Gang, not knowing that you’re his backing…”

Wei Qi’s matter was neither big nor small. If Chen Yuan hadn’t known Miss Qiao, the Wei Family would probably have the final say in this. Chen Yuan would have no choice but to blame it on his luck.

But Wei Qi happened to be this unlucky. Chen Yuan knew Miss Qiao and was on good terms with her. In that case, how could Master Wang sit back and just watch it unfold?

Besides the fact that Wei Dongshan and Wei Ling were too arrogant for their liking, they had even gone as far as to cancel Miss Qiao’s student status. This spurred Master Wang’s desire to defend the vulnerable. Now, there was no way he could let Wei Qi off.

Gu San was definitely on Qiao Nian’s side and felt bad for her. He said gloatingly, “I heard that Miss Qiao broke three of Wei Qi’s ribs. Now that he’s landed in Cai Gang’s hands, I doubt he’ll recover any time soon.”

Upon mentioning Cai Gang, he said, “Actually, Cai Gang is a pretty smart guy. He doesn’t hold a high post, but he was able to do what he needed to. I heard that before we managed to get to Beijing, he was the one defending Miss Qiao and making sure that Wei Dongshan and Wei Ling wouldn’t have their way.”

Wei Ling was a ruthless lady. She wanted to get a statement out of Wei Qi’s hospitalization to land Miss Qiao in jail.

It would have been fine if she didn’t try to cause all this trouble behind their backs. Wei Qi might not have been in such a bad state. It was precisely because she made things difficult for Qiao Nian that Master Wang wouldn’t even consider letting Wei Qi recuperate in the hospital.

If Master Wang wouldn’t let it happen, what could Wei Qi do about it?

He had three broken ribs, and Cai Gang still got someone to get him out on a stretcher.

There really was no need for this!

“Liang Heng’s investigation outcomes are almost out. I think he’s being taken off his post…” Ye Wangchuan raised a brow and tapped the cigarette again, causing some ash to fall off the cigarette butt.

He spoke slowly, as if he was uninterested in the topic. He was too lazy to even straighten up from his seat. “Cai Gang did pretty well this time. It’d be just right for him to take over Liang Heng’s post.”

Gu San took a while to recall who Liang Heng was.

He grinned. “Alright, I’ll let him know later. He’ll surely be overjoyed to hear about it.”

He wasn’t exaggerating it at all. Although it looked like a tiny step up the ladder, the fact was that most people in Cai Gang’s position would never be able to take that step in their lifetime.

This time, Cai Gang went up a rung just like that.

What truly mattered was not the rise in ranks, but that he was now favored by Master Wang.

Most people would beg for this opportunity to be in Master Wang’s good books, but Cai Gang managed to do it this easily.
