Shi Man lowered her eyes to the steam that kept coming out of the cup. She suddenly reached out to take the teacup. The tip of her nose moved slightly, and in the next moment, she drank the tea in one gulp.

Warmth flowed into her stomach, and her limbs and bones felt comfortable.

The man laughed in satisfaction. “Alright, from now on, we’re friends. Since we’re friends, I’ll give you another big gift.”

Shi Man narrowed her eyes and probed him silently.

Ji Yan deliberately covered his mouth with the fan and lowered his voice mysteriously. “Hurry up and contact your good fiance. If you’re any later, I’m afraid this man will become someone else’s.”

The hostility around Shi Man instantly erupted.

She almost lost her composure as she stood up. Noticing the increasingly deep smile in Ji Yan’s eyes, she said with a cold expression, “Thank you for what happened today. 1 still have to ask the Netherworld Pavilion to keep these two for me. I’ll settle the fees later.”

“Then I’ll give you a 50% discount.” The man waved at her magnanimously. “Go quickly, Miss Shi. You can only regret it if you’re late.”

Shi Man nodded slightly and left without staying for another second.

Behind her, the man watched her leave meaningfully.

The trusted aide at the side hesitantly went to his side and said, “Boss, the Jiang family also has interests with us. Isn’t it not good for us to let her know CEO Jiang’s name?”

The smile on Ji Yan’s face instantly disappeared. “How can Jiang Han compare to Shi Man? I’m still useful to this woman. Keep an eye on her.”

“Yes.” The trusted aide did not dare to say anything else. He hurriedly replied and instructed the others to lock the two of them up in the Netherworld Pavilion and send someone to guard them.

The useless eldest daughter of the Shi family had become an invincible hacker.

Interesting.

Ji Yan looked at the window and secretly curled his lips. After leaving the tea money on the table, he slowly blended into the crowd in a good mood until he disappeared.

Elsewhere.

Yi Zheng pressed the woman in front of him against the wall angrily and roared at her in a low voice, “Is this your trick, Chen Jiao? Do you really think I don’t dare to touch you?”

Chen Jiao had long cried. “President Yi, how many times do 1 have to say it before you’re willing to believe me? I’m really not responsible for what happened today. I don’t know why such a thing happened!”

As she spoke, she choked on a large ball of white fog. It was so uncomfortable that she hurriedly bent down and retched.

Yi Zheng’s condition was slightly better than hers. His endurance had always surpassed others, but the thick smoke was still being absorbed by his body. He didn’t know how long he could last.

An hour ago, Yi Zheng was invited to a very important meeting, but there was a problem with the document Chen Jiao was in charge of. In order to protect Chen Jiao, Tang Zhe applied to Yi Zheng to personally return to the company to prepare a new document based on the data.

Yi Zheng had a feeling that something was wrong, but he still agreed.

Unexpectedly, after Tang Zhe returned to the company, he sent Chen Jiao to help him.

He didn’t know what Chen Jiao had done to Tang Zhe to make him believe in her innocence.

Yi Zheng wanted to chase her away with a cold expression, but Chen Jiao refused to leave no matter what, claiming that this was her job.

Yi Zheng was annoyed, and he could not throw a woman out in front of everyone. He could only finish the meeting with a cold expression and think of returning to the company to settle scores with Tang Zhe.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the meeting, Old Master Huo, who was in charge of the meeting, suddenly had an emergency. The medical staff hurriedly sent him to the next room to rest.

The Huo family was a business magnate in the capital. Yi Zheng could not leave the banquet in advance under such circumstances. After Old Master Huo informed him that his condition had stabilized, he wanted to visit him.

Unexpectedly, he was led to this empty bedroom. Not long after he entered, thick smoke kept floating into the room.

Yi Zheng had never smelled this before, but he could barely maintain his rationality.

The doors and windows in the room were sealed. Yi Zheng could not get out, and Chen Jiao, who had followed him in, was also trapped here.

With the previous lesson, Yi Zheng’s first suspect was naturally Chen Jiao. He thought that she was using the same dosage to force him to betray Shi Man.

Chen Jiao only tried her best to explain herself. As she covered her nose, she rushed into the washroom and soaked a towel in water before handing it to Yi Zheng. “President Yi, use this first so that you don’t inhale too much. The Huo family will definitely come looking for us when they discover that we’re missing.”

Yi Zheng’s expression was cold.

At this moment, he did not want anyone to discover that he was in the same room with a woman.

If Shi Man knew about this, he would not be able to explain himself again.

“Take it away. 1 don’t need it.” Yi Zheng looked away and looked around the room coldly, looking for anything else that could help break the door.

This room should be installed with something that blocked the signal. As long as he found that thing and destroyed it, he could contact the outside world.

Thinking of this, Yi Zheng went to flip through every drawer and cabinet in the room that could hide things.

Chen Jiao choked on the thick smoke and coughed violently. After retching a few times, she went forward to help him..
