Chapter 96 Miss Ji has too many troubles; she's not suitable to be kept as a mistress.

As he finished speaking, applause erupted from all around.

Ji Ying knew that he had seen the trending topic yesterday and believed it.

Her image in his eyes was already terrible, and now it has completely plummeted to rock bottom.

If she wants to change the status quo, she must prove her innocence.

But faced with such overwhelming malice and deeply entrenched interests, such an action is yet another form of self-humiliation.

Ji Ying lowered her eyes and pondered how to fight her way out of this encirclement.

"If mere rumors can determine a person's character, do you gentlemen have the magnanimity to match your current positions?"

Gu Yanchen walked through the crowd, his voice cold yet still exuding an undeniable aura of power.

"Besides, how many of you standing here dare to say that you only have one partner right now? Before it was exposed, you all pretended to be human."

The scene suddenly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Gu Yanchen's actions in protecting his wife were truly unexpected.

Liang Yizhi's gaze toward him also became meaningful.

"Mr. Gu's words, 'not for his sweetheart, but only for his wife,' are quite true."

Gu Yanchen didn't care about his mockery, but looked at Ji Ying with a gentle gaze.

But Ji Ying turned her face away, showing no appreciation whatsoever.

Liang Jian finally stepped forward at the right time.

"What President Gu said is true. We are all seniors, so why should we unite to suppress the juniors? Qing Sui Power has only been established for a few years, so there is no need for you to be so afraid."

For the first time ever, he agreed with his arch-enemy's point of view, leaving everyone present utterly bewildered.

Liang Yizhi's gaze swept over him indifferently, his voice deep and slow, yet each word carried immense weight.

"The people present here are all of such high status that it would be too passive to attack competitors by resorting to slander and manipulative tactics. I believe none of you would do that."

The bigwig's words were immediately understood by everyone.

Enough is enough!

So they all went their separate ways.

Several older entrepreneurs surrounded Liang Yizhi and discussed the topic of new energy battery materials.

Ji Ying was not impressed by Gu Yanchen and Liang Jian's help in getting her out of the predicament. She turned to leave, but Liang Jian called her back.

"My secretary has found you a new pair of shoes; they should fit your feet."

Ji Ying paused in her steps.

Gu Yanchen said unhappily, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Liang, but my wife doesn't need it."

Liang Jian smiled and said, "I'd rather hear Miss Ji's thoughts."

Ji Ying turned to look at Liang Jian, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Liang."

"please."

Liang Jian smiled and led the person to the sidelines.

Gu Yanchen's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Serves you right!

Xiao Xia smiled, pursing her lips, and did not follow.

The secretary came running up, slightly out of breath, carrying a pair of white leather shoes.

It was clearly bought in a hurry from a nearby store.

Liang Jian was very experienced with women. Even though he hadn't had much contact with Ji Ying, he knew her shoe size just by looking at her feet.

Therefore, it suits Ji Ying very well and matches her outfit today.

Liang Jian didn't boast to her that he had chosen the style of the shoes from the video.

“A pair of shoes is not enough to make up for my mistake. Miss Ji, please feel free to tell me what you would like,” he said.

Ji Ying put on his shoes, but her gaze towards him remained indifferent.

"Since it's done, there's no need for hypocritical attempts to make amends. I'm no match for Mr. Liang, and the damage I caused will leave scars even if it heals. I won't talk about letting go; I just wish to be strangers from now on."

After saying that, she stood up, leaving the man whose gaze was fixed on her face behind.

“Mr. Liang, this Miss Ji is difficult to deal with,” the secretary said.

But that's precisely what makes her so attractive.

Liang Jian withdrew his gaze and gave a cryptic laugh.

When Ji Ying returned to the lawn with her bag, Xiao Xia was already talking with the CEO she was interested in collaborating with.

Thinking about the rumors and gossip surrounding her, Ji Ying decided not to disturb them and prepared to leave on her own.

As soon as she turned around, she met Liang Yizhi's gaze.

He stood with several bosses, including General Manager Xu.

The faces of these people instantly reminded Ji Ying of those harsh words.

She nodded slightly to Liang Yizhi.

This time, Liang Yizhi's gaze did not leave her face.

He made no attempt to hide it from the executives around him, saying to her, "Qing Sui's technological breakthrough is indeed remarkable. However, some tracks are inherently narrow; even the best gun is just for show, like a beggar holding a golden bowl."

His words made the CEOs laugh.

Ji Ying was not annoyed and walked straight up to Liang Yizhi.

Whether Qing Sui is a beggar or a golden goose, time will tell.

As she spoke, she took a brand new men's shirt out of her bag.

"I'm sorry you got wet that night, this is a small compensation. Since I don't want to have any more private contact with you, I can only give it to you in this setting."

Liang Yizhi stared at the shirt in the box but did not reach out to take it.

The expressions of the several CEOs present, including the one surnamed Xu, changed dramatically.

Loss of virginity?!

So, this is the man whose face is blurred in the trending searches?

Seeing that Ji Ying had subtly tricked his boss, Xue Qin immediately stepped forward and took the shirt.

"Director Ji, you're too kind. It's just that my clothes got wet; they can still be worn after they dry."

Ji Ying chuckled, her gaze sweeping over President Xu without letting her off the hook.

"As one of the few female entrepreneurs in the new energy sector, Ms. Xu should understand the difficulties of starting a business as a woman. I just didn't expect that you know better than those men how to stifle your peers."

After Ji Ying finished speaking, she turned around, her hem tracing a sharp arc, and left amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.

Not long after she left, Xue Qin quietly stepped forward to report.

"A woman was just trying to break into the venue by impersonating a waitress, but she was stopped by security. This was found on her USB drive."

Xue Qin took out his phone and played a video.

Liang Yizhi's gaze darkened slightly.

“The person has been kicked out. We have permanently deleted the contents of her USB drive and injected a virus. When she takes it back, as soon as she plugs it into the computer, even the backup will be destroyed.”

Liang Yizhi nodded, indicating that he had done well.

“This Miss Ji is too much trouble and not suitable for you to keep her as a mistress. It’s the right thing to do to distance yourself from her,” Xue Qin said.

Liang Yizhi clicked his tongue and looked at him.

"Boss, your fertility test results are abnormal. The doctor has advised you to adjust your lifestyle. You should take this seriously."

Just then, a gasp suddenly erupted from the boxing machine placed nearby for entertainment.

Gu Yanchen, his suit open, slowly flicked his wrist, his gaze mockingly fixed on Liang Jian, who was barely able to stand.

"Sorry, Mr. Liang, I missed. But your health isn't good either, you're not strong enough."

Liang Jian wiped the bloodstains from his lips and chuckled softly.

He certainly understood who Gu Yanchen's punch was aimed at...

Ji Ying was unaware of what happened after she left, but Xiao Xia called her in the evening to tell her.

"You didn't see it, but when President Liang left, half of his face was swollen. Your scumbag husband certainly got his revenge, but... could it be that he still loves you and wants to win you back?"

While driving, Ji Ying responded emotionlessly, "You're overthinking it. He doesn't love me. He just thinks I'm tough enough to be a sturdy shield for his sister."

Speaking of this, Xiao Xia quickly said, "There's been a result of what you were asking about. The small piece of battery debris you brought back from the explosion site came from a laboratory in Chushi. This laboratory doesn't have any outstanding products, but it has always received foreign funding."

Ji Ying gripped the steering wheel tightly. "Send me the name."

Less than two minutes later, Xiao Xia sent a text message.

As they approached Tianhe Yunjing, Ji Ying slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road.

Just as she was about to check the messages on her phone, two people suddenly ran over and smashed her car window.

Her car was modified; it was fully bulletproof.

The two men smashed it for a long time, but didn't even leave a dent.

Ji Ying sat calmly in the car, considering whether to call the police.

Suddenly, one of them pressed his phone against the car window.

In the video, Zheng Xing is tied to a chair with her legs stretched straight and dangling in the air.

Wen Li was sitting on her lap, pressing down on her and causing her to wail in pain.

Wen Li's bloodless face stared at the camera like a ghost, her expression twisted as she asked:

"Ji Ying, do you still want this chess piece?"
