Shang Fu led the people in.
With a height of over six foot two, broad shoulders and a solid build like a tower, the space wasn’t particularly narrow, yet it instantly gave off a suffocating and oppressive feeling.
"Shang Fu, if you know what’s good for you, you’ll let out imdiately! I won’t admit to sothing I didn’t do. Even if Director Si suspects , I should still have a chance to clear my na, right? What do you an by keeping locked in here? Is this captivity?"
Shang Fu twisted his neck, emitting a cracking sound.
Xinxin appeared visibly tense.
"What? The renowned Sister Xin is scared?"
Shang Fu sneered coldly, completely disregarding her.
It sparked a furious anger in Xinxin.
After all, the two of them matched in strength; how could she be intimidated by him? Wouldn’t that an all these years had been for nothing?
"You’re talking nonsense!" Xinxin took a deep breath, "Call Si Yuhuan to see , or don’t bla for being impolite."
"How do you plan to be impolite?"
Si Yuhuan walked in with a suit jacket draped over his shoulders. On his sharply defined handso face were so stubbles of blue-black beard, showing no signs of dishevelnt, making him appear incredibly masculine and exuding imnse sexual tension.
Xinxin involuntarily swallowed.
Though she had seen countless n, only Si Yuhuan’s unique aura attracted her so much that her eyes couldn’t look away.
"Director Si, what do you an by this? Keeping here ans you think I’ve done wrong? You want to punish ?"
She whimpered pitifully, "Instead of using the Secret Gate’s people to find Aunt Zhang, wouldn’t we be best for that job?"
Her fingertip pressed against the man’s firm chest, and her little face flushed crimson.
If she could just get him to bed, who knows what kind of rapturous ordeal it would be.
That damn Jian Xi, living such a good life yet thinking of escaping, really has no clue.
"I told you to take a good rest, and avoid associating with those shady people around you. Since you’re with , whatever’s dishonest, get rid of it."
His resounding words made Xinxin’s charming smile freeze.
Get rid of....
Referring to Baldie?
"After all, your status will beco extraordinary. You don’t want to be unable to hold your head high before others in the future, right?" Si Yuhuan raised his eyebrows at her, his commanding presence making her head incapable of thinking as she nodded absentmindedly.
Si Yuhuan pulled at his lips, "Weren’t you leaving? Why aren’t you gone yet?"
Shang Fu stepped aside.
Xinxin shot him a spiteful glare as she left, suddenly recalling, "Director Si, don’t worry. I’ll take responsibility for finding Aunt Zhang for you."
Si Yuhuan nodded slightly.
After she left, Yan Qing stepped forward.
"Aren’t you afraid she’ll...."
Si Yuhuan’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint, "I’m afraid no one else can find Aunt Zhang sooner than she can."
Yan Qing admitted inferiority, "Are you planning to let the cicada catch the mantis while the oriole waits behind?"
He was almost excited enough to slap his thigh, "I’ll send soone to watch Xinxin right away. As soon as we spot Aunt Zhang, we’ll imdiately bring her back."
...
Xinxin walked out and happened to pass by where Baldie was being held.
Baldie struggled for his life, leaving bloody handprints on the window, continuously banging, begging Xinxin to take him away.
Shang Fu was utterly terrifying.
Never imagined he’d be tornted into such a ghostly state.
Xinxin took a few steps forward, suddenly rembering Si Yuhuan’s words, "Your status will beco extraordinary, you don’t want to be unable to hold your head high before others in the future, fade out from those you should discard."
Fade out....
Xinxin murmured to herself.
She turned coldly and left.
Baldie pounded on the door frantically.
To keep the secret, he bit through his tongue.
Only to be t with betrayal from his beloved woman.
"Xinxin——" he groaned, glowering, wishing his eyes could shoot fire.
No matter how much physical pain he felt, the sense of betrayal still made Baldie want to rush out, kill the woman outside, and perish together with her.
Shang Fu dragged him away, "What are you doing? Look at your own status, you and Miss Xin are worlds apart now! She is to be the future CEO’s wife, and you, lurking in the dark! Just die!"
Baldie stared in terror, his massive fra of over six foot sliding helplessly to the ground.
"Want to say whose order I followed to kill you?" Shang Fu lowered his head, tapping Baldie’s face with the knife tip, smiling suggestively.
Baldie shook his head vehently.
"Scared? Want to cooperate with us?" Shang Fu displayed a seemingly troubled expression.
Baldie imdiately knelt down, banging his head on the floor in desperation.
Ha!
Shang Fu curled his lips into a cold smile, "If you want to cooperate, that’s possible too. Show your sincerity. After all, we’re in the sa line of work, can’t just completely squash you. Whether you live or die, it’s up to Director Si."
In the study.
The cleaned-up Baldie was pushed in.
His body was wrapped in nurous bandages, looking horrific.
Si Yuhuan set aside the files he was working on, lifted his eyes, and glanced at him.
Baldie knelt directly on the ground, fingers gesturing randomly, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
Si Yuhuan tossed him a notebook and a pen.
Baldie wrote: [Director Si probably doesn’t know, Xinxin deceived you. She’s no innocent girl, she’s been with every top expert in the Secret Gate!]
Yan Qing slapped him sharply on the head.
"Speak properly! Who told you to say that?"
How dare he try to give Director Si a green hat, does he think Director Si should thank him for his honesty?
This guy must have forgotten to use his brain all these years while only exercising force in the Secret Gate.
Baldie nodded submissively and continued writing: [Our leader’s entire assets are controlled by Xinxin, her talking about Secret Gate deficits is all a lie to you.]
Yan Qing glanced up at Si Yuhuan, seeing a flicker of impatience in his eyes.
He imdiately yelled, "Are you out of words? If all you have to report are these details, then you have no value left."
Shang Fu pushed the door open and entered.
Baldie’s body trembled all over at the sight of Shang Fu.
He hurriedly scribbled.
[Xinxin has a batch of drugs that can control people’s minds. With psychology, she can drive people insane. Housekeeper Qi was her work.]
As expected!
Yan Qing clenched his fists, shaking with fury.
Housekeeper Qi, such a good person, how could she do it.
Seeing Yan Qing’s reaction, Baldie knew this information could save his life.
Si Yuhuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, the sound was heavy, he tugged at his lips, then asked, "Besides, is there anyone behind Xinxin helping her?"
People behind her?
Baldie mulled over it, then shook his head.
Yan Qing was puzzled, "Director Si, are you suspecting Xinxin has a backer?"
Si Yuhuan said nothing, waving his hand, signaling Yan Qing to drag the person out.
Baldie struggled, still pleading for rcy.
Yan Qing delivered a chop, knocking him unconscious.
The study returned to silence once more.
Under the dim light, a trace of unfathomable frost shadowed Si Yuhuan’s sharply defined handso face.
He fiddled with a few sheets of material in his hand, gradually getting absorbed in them.
It was given to him by Jian Mingcheng.
