Reporter Lv didn’t expect Ji Shanshan to be so generous since the price they had originally agreed upon was only 200,000.
Faced with the temptation of money, the man was instantly swayed, and his attitude turned respectful: "Miss Ji, if you need any more assistance, just tell ."
Ji Shanshan silently curled her lips into a smile, yet her eyes were full of disdain and sarcasm.
The saying "money can make the devil turn millstones," couldn’t be more accurate.
"Listen to carefully." Ji Shanshan’s tone instantly turned arrogant, "I want Ji Wei’s separation agreent to be exposed on all major news portals first thing tomorrow morning. Let everyone in Rongcheng know her marriage to Gu Moqian is nothing but a sham!"
"Rest assured, Miss Ji, I’ll handle it perfectly," Reporter Lv promised firmly.
"Good, then I’ll wait for your good news!" Ji Shanshan chuckled contemptuously and decisively hung up the phone.
After making the call, her mood lifted considerably.
Even though tonight’s plan had many unsatisfactory elents, at least Gu Moqian now knew the content of the separation agreent. He would definitely have a big argunt with Ji Wei, and their relationship would only worsen further.
At last, she could have a good night’s sleep tonight.
Tomorrow... tomorrow, there’s still a good show waiting for her to watch!
Ji Shanshan brushed her thick, curly hair and cheerfully sashayed her way back to the bedroom.
In the middle of the night, Gu Moqian got up to use the restroom.
On his way back, he noticed the phone on the coffee table continuously flashing and walked over to it.
Seeing that the phone, set to silent mode, was receiving a call, Gu Moqian stepped onto the balcony to answer it, afraid of disturbing Ji Wei, who was fast asleep in bed.
"How’s the situation?" he asked in a low voice.
"Apologies, Mr. Gu. We couldn’t catch the person tailing you... He slipped into the British Consulate, and we couldn’t follow inside."
Gu Moqian’s eyes darkened further.
Ji Shanshan actually knows people at the Consulate—seems like she put a great deal of effort into assembling her helpers this ti around.
"Our people are posted outside the Consulate right now, keeping watch. As soon as that person cos out..."
Before Chen Ke could finish, Gu Moqian abruptly interrupted, "There’s no need. Since we’ve already been discovered, it’s unlikely that person will expose themselves so easily. I’ll handle this matter myself."
"..."
"Keep a close eye on Ji Shanshan’s movents. Tonight’s plan didn’t go as she wanted; who knows what crazy thing that woman will do next? We can’t let down our guard."
"Understood, Mr. Gu!"
...
Ji Wei woke up to find herself astonishingly in a car, her head resting on Gu Moqian’s lap.
Startled, she imdiately sat up, but her abrupt movent caused her to lose balance, falling back onto Gu Moqian’s lap again. Her hands just so happened to press against a very awkward spot.
Ji Wei’s cheeks instantly flushed as if on fire. She hastily withdrew her hands and tried once more to sit up.
But her small hands were suddenly held tightly in place by Gu Moqian.
Panic-stricken, Ji Wei glanced toward the front seat. The driver, Old Xu, was focusing intently on the road, seemingly oblivious to what was happening in the backseat. Only then did she breathe a faint sigh of relief.
"Why... Why am I in the car?" Ji Wei, unable to break free, forced herself to straighten up and feigned calmness as she asked casually.
Gu Moqian lazily rubbed her smooth hand as his gaze locked onto the blush spreading across her cheeks. His voice carried a hint of aristocratic indifference as he said, "I needed to go to the office for sothing, and I didn’t want to wake you up. So I decided to just bring you along."
"Um, I- I think I won’t go to the office. If An An wakes up and doesn’t see , she’ll be looking for ."
The sensation of his warm palm against hers was scorching, and Ji Wei couldn’t help but recall last night’s passionate entanglent.
Her face turned even redder as she awkwardly averted her gaze.
