At that moment, Lu Chengsheng happened to drive over. From afar, he saw his leader being forced into a corner by someone.
The pillar blocked his view, but he couldn’t care less at this juncture.
He slammed on the brakes, took out a steel pipe from the trunk, and strode toward the two of them aggressively, his headscarf fluttering in the wind.
At that moment, Xi Zhimo let go of Ye Si’s arms and turned to leave.
The two men came face to face with each other again.
Lu Chengsheng’s eyes widened abruptly under his sunglasses.
“Finished! Finished! I’m finished!” he thought.
Did he just want to cripple this pervert who struck fear in people’s hearts at the mere mention of his name… Er, no, the handsome, powerful business tycoon, Third Master Xi, who struck fear in people’s hearts at the mere mention of his name?
Xi Zhimo shot Lu Chengsheng a glance, and the sharp, icy hostility in his eyes made the temperature around them drop a few degrees.
Lu Chengsheng almost dropped the steel pipe in his hand. The next second, he cleared his throat and ran and leaped toward Ye Si, shouting, “Leader, I’ve found the steel pipe you asked me to locate. As model law-abiding citizens, we can’t hit people, right?”
When the blame was pushed on Ye Si out of the blue, she became utterly speechless.
See how courageous this fellow was!
It was only when he heard Xi Zhimo start the car and drive away that Lu Chengsheng’s heart, which was thumping furiously, finally calmed down. “Leader, I’m sorry. I was almost killed by that pervert’s gaze earlier!”
Ye Si raised her eyebrows. “I know you’re not scared at all. You’re just a little timid and afraid of rats.”
Lu Chengsheng nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes, yes! I hate stinky rats the most! Alright, Leader. Let’s go eat.”
“Mm-hmm.”
The two of them got into the car and went straight to Reverence Hall.
The Reverence Hall was a private restaurant in the Empire Capital with the best privacy protection. Only the preeminent upper-class people were qualified to dine there. As a result, the VIP dining rooms here were even more priceless.
In the private dining room, Lu Chengsheng finally removed all his disguises and revealed a stunning face.
His facial features were extremely exquisite as if he was a carefully crafted darling of God. Ye Si had always felt that other than Xi Zhimo, Lu Chengsheng was the most good-looking man she had ever seen. It could also be said that he was the most beautiful woman.
Lu Chengsheng removed the crab shells for Ye Si as he asked, “Leader, did my fellow seniors say when they would be back?”
Ye Si ate the crab meat gracefully and said indifferently, “They don’t seem to want to come back. You’re the worst at your training and ran off the fastest.”
Lu Chengsheng was utterly speechless. It was another heart-piercing punchline!
In the CEO’s office on the top floor of the XEE Group’s headquarters.
The man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the sprawling Empire Capital under his feet. His dark eyes seemed to be frozen.
Mu Feng stood behind him and reported carefully, “Mr. Xi, I’ve retrieved all the surveillance records from Horswell Court that day. Here’s a list of all the people who entered and left Horswell Court that day, as well as their details. Please take a look.”
Xi Zhimo turned around and took the documents. He sat on the big executive chair and read the documents carefully.
Mu Feng continued to report, “According to the analysis of the surveillance footage in the elevators, the only people who went to the 32nd floor that night were the people who drugged you, and Miss Wang.
“That group of people had all been dealt with, so the only person who had been to the 32nd floor was Miss Wang.”
Xi Zhimo scanned through all the names on the list, but he didn’t see Ye Si’s name.
For some reason, he felt as if the burning fire in his heart had been extinguished by a basin of cold water viciously.
It felt like a fish bone stuck in the throat or a layer of brambles and thorns pricking the back.
Mu Feng looked at Xi Zhimo’s silent face and did not dare to say a word. At this moment, Mu Feng’s phone suddenly vibrated. After reading the message, he said, “Mr. Xi, I just received news that Miss Wang has woken up and is crying, asking to see you.”
When Xi Zhimo heard this, his deep thoughts were interrupted. His elegant brows knitted as he barked icily, “Tell her I’m busy.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Mu Feng was about to excuse himself from the CEO’s office when Xi Zhimo gave another order. “Get someone to do a digital content forensics analysis on all the surveillance footage.”
“Understood! I will get it done right away!” Mu Feng replied solemnly.
