Xia Wan paused in her drinking of juice, staring at him in disbelief.

"You...weren't you summoned at the last minute?"

Why are they even installing surveillance cameras?

Did he already know what was going to happen today?

Cui Ziqi answered Xia Wan's questions while operating the computer.

"Two days ago, Cui Jiyang met privately with Fu Li of Baibu Company. Afterwards, he sent me, who had never been involved in the business of the Cui Group, to talk to Fu Li about the project. Who would believe there was nothing fishy going on?"

The computer screen was filled with large, fragmented lines of code, which made Xia Wan's eyes dazzled.

She simply shifted her gaze from the computer screen to Cui Ziqi's face.

To match the ambiguous atmosphere of the nightclub, the lighting in the private room was dim, and in the dim light, the white light from the computer screen was particularly noticeable on the man's face.

His already fair skin appeared even whiter under the cold light, his features were exquisitely sculpted, his clear, spring-like eyes were glistening with light, and a hint of excitement emanated from the corners of his slightly curved lips.

She's very well-behaved.

It seems that the menacing figure downstairs wasn't him.

He already knew that Cui Jiyang was going to hand him over to the perverted Fu Li. Based on his past behavior, he would definitely have settled accounts with Cui Jiyang and Fu Li before even entering that study.

But he endured it all the way, until he was alone and then unleashed a massacre on Fu Li in his study.

Even she couldn't tell his emotions.

This painstaking approach is quite different from the Cui Ziqi described in the book.

Cui Ziqi pressed the Enter key, and the image on the computer screen instantly changed to a video image of the demon's surroundings.

Xia Wan remained silent for a long time.

Cui Ziqi turned her head to look at her, who was still in a daze, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

“I was thinking…” Xia Wan looked up at him, saying each word slowly and deliberately, “You’re such a good actor.”

The words had barely left his mouth.

A collective gasp filled the private room, and the temperature seemed to drop several degrees even further in the already chilly room.

Xia Wan looked at Cui Ziqi's frozen smile.

Ignoring his darkening expression, she turned away from him and slurped her juice down her throat.

She was somewhat unhappy.

Having lived in constant fear for so long, and almost being kicked out of the system because of his sudden outburst, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, and at the same time, she fell into the trap he had set.

In the end, all her worries and fears about him became a joke.

Sitting on the other sofa, Cui Ziqi's subordinates watched as Xia Wan suddenly changed her expression and started cursing their boss.

I had already begun to mourn for Xia Wan in my heart.

The eldest brother has always had a bad temper and no patience. Anyone who dares to step on his head may save their life, but their physical and mental well-being is not guaranteed.

Although they knew Xia Wan was their sister-in-law, they knew even better that their boss's ruthlessness didn't discriminate between men and women.

Cui Ziqi's face did darken because of Xia Wan's words.

She turned away from him, clutching the juice, her face showing no obvious emotion, but her demeanor suggested she didn't want to talk to him.

She's angry!

Cui Ziqi has always been intelligent.

His mental abilities even surpass those of the champion of "The Brain".

Unfortunately, I don't understand at all what Xia Wan is angry about.

Are you still thinking about how another woman got close to him downstairs and you're still jealous?

An eerie silence fell over the private room.

The juice gradually dwindled until a soft slurping sound rang out, drawing everyone's attention to the glass in Xia Wan's hand.

The orange juice was almost gone.

She released the straw and was about to put the empty cup on the coffee table.

A slender, white hand with distinct knuckles reached out, took the cup from her hand, and placed it on the coffee table.

Then, almost solicitously, he asked, "Would you like some more?"

"I won't drink." Her voice was flat, but the stares from the people around her made her uncomfortable.

She then said quietly, "Let's get down to business."

Seeing that she remained expressionless, Cui Ziqi felt uneasy and somewhat at a loss.

But the matter below was more urgent, so he reluctantly turned his gaze away.

Finally, a blueberry cake was placed in her hands.

He remembered that Xia Wan really liked eating this.

Xia Wan, holding the cake, acted as an outsider, watching Cui Ziqi instruct his subordinates to do their work.

The surveillance footage showed that the police were already blocking the entrance.

Cui Mingrui, supporting Cui Kai, had already arrived at the scene and was talking to the police.

The surveillance camera is too far away to hear anything.

Only Cui Ziqi, Xia Wan, and a strange woman sitting on the other sofa remained in the private room.

The computer suddenly beeped.

Xia Wan paused in her eating of cake and subconsciously looked at the person next to her.

Cui Ziqi turned off the computer that was flashing red light and looked up at the unfamiliar woman.

"Jiang Na, it's your turn to go on stage."

"good."

The coldness on the face of the woman named Jiang Na was almost identical to that of Cui Ziqi.

Xia Wan watched her leave, her brows furrowing slightly.

Jiang Na.

That name sounds so familiar.

Before I could even turn to the original text, a faint voice came from the side.

"You really enjoy watching other people's backs?"

Cui Ziqi just didn't understand; she had to look at everyone, whether she knew them or not, until she had her fill.

What exactly is this sense of curiosity?

Xia Wan couldn't resist her curiosity and turned to look at Cui Ziqi.

Do you know that Fu Li likes you?

She simply couldn't understand how Cui Ziqi, with his personality, could know that a perverted man was going to molest him, yet he didn't get angry and even had to cooperate in the act.

But if he didn't know about Fu Li, why would he deliberately jump into the trap and play along with them?

Cui Ziqi's eyes quickly turned cold, and her stomach churned.

I didn't know before; I just found out!

He had initially thought that Cui Jiyang and Fu Li had joined forces to deal with him, but that drink today made him fully understand the two bastards' true intentions.

Cui Jiyang actually wanted him to sell himself!

If he wasn't afraid of scaring Xia Wan, he would have made sure that Fu Li and Cui Jiyang were covered in blood!

In his anger, he suddenly realized, how did Xia Wan know that Fu Li liked men?

He frowned: "You know Fu Li?"

Fu Li?

Is that Mr. Fu?

Xia Wan shook her head; she didn't know him.

Knowing roughly what Cui Ziqi was wondering, Xia Wan replied, "After you injured him, I went to see him, and he told me that he liked you."

Xia Wan spoke nonsense without blushing or skipping a beat.

Cui Ziqi looked at the computer with suspicion; the surveillance footage showed what had just happened.

Xia Wan was talking to Fu Li, and she was even holding a knife and about to stab Fu Li's genitals.

Xia Wan wondered if Cui Ziqi should tell him about his mother's family if he asked her what she and Fu Li were talking about.

To everyone's surprise, after reading it, Cui Ziqi's brows furrowed, his handsome features hardened, and his coldness grew stronger.

His tone was icy: "Why don't you stab me?"

When he first took action, he was so angry that he didn't know if he had truly cut off his lineage.

He would be happy to see Xia Wan deliver the final blow!
