The smoke in the room became thicker. Yi Zheng shook his head and tried his best to stay sober as he looked around for the source of the smoke.

At first, Chen Jiao was still obediently helping to find things. Later on, she was really dizzy and her body fell towards him uncontrollably.

Yi Zheng avoided her without thinking and let her fall to the ground. There was no expression on his face. “Don’t play tricks. If I can leave safely today, I can keep you for a while. If you really do anything, I definitely won’t let you off.”

Chen Jiao gritted her teeth and got up from the ground aggressively. “Although you’re the President, can you not always be so narcissistic? I’m also a victim in this matter. What makes you think I did it? I’ve been following behind you just now. Why didn’t I say that you had ill intentions towards me and deliberately set up a trap?”

Yi Zheng frowned and glared at her. Through the thick smoke, he was extremely annoyed. “I’ll come to a conclusion after 1 go out and investigate. You don’t have to explain.”

“If you’ve been wronged, you would have been anxious long ago!” Chen Jiao scolded angrily. She really couldn’t understand what structure this man’s body was made of. She even suspected that he really had some hidden illness!

She had put in so much effort to set up such a good trap. A man and a woman were in the same room, and he was not conscious enough. How could he endure it?

However, it did not matter even if he did not have any feelings for her now. This was a good opportunity to prove that she did not have any ulterior motives for him!

As long as she acted innocent, she did not believe that Yi Zheng could be so certain that he had really not done anything to her.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiao, who had been arrogant just now, suddenly squatted down weakly. She covered her face and cried in grief. “I just want a good job. I just want to earn money in the capital. Why is it so difficult? I’ve already compromised so much, so why can’t I get an understanding?! If I had known this, I wouldn’t have studied so hard back then.”

Yi Zheng was stunned by her series of actions.

If not for his strong willpower, he would have really been immersed in her show and believed that she was really a good girl who had been wronged.

What he had not done was not done.

However… this did not stop him from taking the opportunity to expose this woman.

Yi Zheng narrowed his eyes and squatted down. After hesitating for a long time, he still didn’t want to reach out and touch any woman other than Shi

Man. He just lowered his voice from a distance. “Don’t cry first. 1 believe you didn’t do this. Let’s find the signal interference device together and go out, okay?”

When Chen Jiao heard his softened tone, she was delighted. Only then did she look up fearfully. “Really? President Yi, do you really believe me and won’t wrong me again?”

“Of course.” Yi Zheng stood up and pointed at the vent above the bathroom. “Let’s go over there and take a look.”

Chen Jiao hurriedly wiped her tears and followed.

At this moment, the mirror in the bathroom was already covered in a layer of fog. The figure reflected on it was blurry, but Chen Jiao still smiled smugly at the outline of the two of them standing side by side.

She knew that men could not bear to see women cry.

Now, Yi Zheng had already begun to soften for her. As long as he sympathized with her, she would hold onto his heart and make him compensate her willingly.

“Up here.”

Yi Zheng’s cold voice frightened her.

Chen Jiao hurriedly looked up in the direction of his gaze and saw an endless stream of gas floating into the house from the ventilation pipe above.

Chen Jiao understood and hurriedly pressed the switch to open the vent. The fog was really being sucked out of the bathroom bit by bit, and the range of vision gradually became clearer.

Chen Jiao smiled in surprise. “President Yi is still the best. You found the source so quickly. Now, even if Cousin comes a little late, we can wait!”

Yi Zheng turned his head and looked at the little girl jumping happily beside him. His eyes were dark. “How do you know that we can’t wait anymore if this gas isn’t expelled?”

Chen Jiao was slightly stunned. Then, she pouted unhappily and acted coquettishly. “I was just guessing. Think about it. The mastermind deliberately lured you here and locked you up. It can’t be just some harmless gas. What good will it do him?”

Yi Zheng nodded in agreement.

Chen Jiao continued to act coquettishly. “You suspected me again just now, right? 1 knew you still couldn’t trust me wholeheartedly. But don’t worry, I won’t go back on my promise. As long as you need it, I can go to Miss Shi to clarify what happened that night. I don’t need your money, as long as you don’t make me lose this job, okay?”

She begged pitifully, and her request was not greedy. Instead, she guaranteed her last bit of rights within the normal range. If it were any other man, his heart would probably soften.

However, Yi Zheng was born cold-hearted and did not know how to have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex. Unfortunately, he still had to continue acting..
