Chapter 364: Something is wrong

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

He immediately arranged for personnel to secretly investigate this so-called overseas customer.

…

Ji Wan took the contract and came to the agreed location with great anticipation.

It was a luxuriously decorated hotel. She took a deep breath and told herself that she must seize this opportunity.

Pushing open the door of the box, a middle-aged man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses stood up and extended his hand to her enthusiastically.

"Miss Ji, I've heard so much about you!"

The man has a kind smile and a friendly attitude, which makes people feel like spring breeze.

Ji Wan felt relieved, shook hands with him, and began to discuss the details of the contract.

Just as she was about to sign, the door of the box was suddenly kicked open.

Several bodyguards in black rushed in and instantly controlled the so-called overseas client.

Ji Wan was startled and the pen in his hand fell to the ground.

"You... who are you?"

Chi Wenyan walked in, his face terribly gloomy. He walked to Ji Wan and said in a cold tone, "Ji Wan, do you know that you were almost cheated?"

When the overseas customer saw that the matter was exposed, his face instantly became ferocious.

He pushed away the bodyguard beside him and ran towards the door frantically.

But how could he escape from Chi Wenyan's control?

Several bodyguards in black immediately chased after him and pinned him to the ground.

…

He Wanqing sat in the dark room, staring at the computer screen.

The screen shows the surveillance footage in the hotel box.

She had originally planned to arrange for someone to catch Ji Wan in adultery and ruin her reputation after she signed the contract, but she never expected that Chi Wenyan would suddenly appear.

The plan failed. That loser was so useless. He Wanqing was so angry that she was shaking all over, and her nails were deeply dug into her palms.

No one can be left alive!

She immediately made a phone call, her voice vicious and cruel.

A low response came from the other end of the phone, with a barely perceptible tremor.

"Clean and leave no traces."

He Wanqing's voice seemed to be tempered by ice, and every word was filled with a bone-chilling chill.

After hanging up the phone, she threw the phone heavily to the ground, and the screen shattered into pieces instantly.

In the darkness, her face was twisted, like a demon crawling out of hell.

Chi Wenyan, Ji Wan, just wait for me.

The sudden sound of brakes broke the tranquility of the alley behind the hotel.

Several dark shadows rushed towards the overseas customers who had just been dragged out like ghosts.

Before the other party could even let out a scream, he was knocked unconscious by a knife attack.

"Boss, he's still breathing, but he's lost a lot of blood."

A bodyguard wearing a Bluetooth headset quickly checked and reported in a low voice.

Chi Wenyan's cold voice came through the headphones.

"Send him to a secret hospital and hire the best doctors to save him for me."

"yes."

The bodyguards acted quickly and carried the unconscious man into the car, which quickly disappeared into the night.

Under the hospital's operating lights, doctors are busy and nervous.

In the end, the man survived but fell into a deep coma.

The attending physician took off his mask and spoke to Chi Wenyan's men with a serious expression.

"He lost too much blood, and his brain was deprived of oxygen for a long time. He has become a vegetative state. It's hard to say when he will wake up. Maybe he will never wake up."

The subordinate nodded silently and reported the news to Chi Wenyan.

Ever since the terrifying incident in the hotel that night, Ji Wan clearly felt that Chi Wenyan's appearance frequency had increased.

He no longer keeps his distance as he used to.

Sometimes we would meet by chance downstairs of the company and I would hand her a cup of hot coffee.

Sometimes I would pass by her house and ask her if she needed a ride.

Even when she worked overtime late at night, he would appear at the office door with midnight snacks.

His concern was no longer secretive, but rather expressed with an irresistible strength.

The pebbles he threw into Ji Wan's heart were rippling in circles. She admitted that Chi Wenyan's appearance did make her feel a sense of security that she had longed to feel.

Especially after experiencing the scam by overseas customers, she felt even more grateful to him.

The gratitude was so heavy that she felt she had to do something.

After thinking about it, she remembered that Chi Wenyan always seemed to wear suits of the same brands.

She found out about an old tailor who had retired long ago and had superb skills.

It is said that this old tailor does not make orders easily and only customizes for those who are destined to be with him.

Ji Wan took great pains to get in touch with the man and impressed him with his sincerity.

She personally selected a top-quality cashmere blend in a soothing yet stylish dark grey.

She communicated and confirmed every size and every detail with the old tailor repeatedly.

She hoped that this gift would be worthy of his help that night.

On the day the custom-made suit was completed, Ji Wan received a call from Chi Wenyan.

"There's a party tonight and I'm in need of a female companion."

His voice was low, with a hint of unquestionable meaning.

Ji Wan subconsciously wanted to refuse.

She doesn't like occasions where people are dressed in fancy clothes and act insincerely.

"There will be many senior designers and potential clients at the banquet."

Chi Wenyan seemed to see through her thoughts and added slowly.

“It’s very helpful for you to expand your network.”

Ji Wan's breathing hitched slightly.

Connections and clients, these are exactly what she needs most right now.

She didn't want to have trouble with money, and she didn't want to miss any possible opportunity.

"good."

She heard herself agree.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Wan belatedly remembered an important question.

She had no suitable dress.

Just as she was worrying about the wardrobe, her cell phone rang.

He is Chi Wenyan's assistant.

"Ms. Ji, Mr. Chi has prepared a dress for you and has delivered it downstairs to your house."

Ji Wan walked to the window and saw a familiar black car parked downstairs.

She sighed helplessly and accepted his kindness.

Opening the exquisite gift box, inside was a champagne-colored silk long dress.

The style is simple and elegant, with smooth cuts that perfectly outline the curves of women.

The fabric has a soft luster under the light, which is low-key yet luxurious.

That night, when Ji Wan appeared in front of Chi Wenyan wearing that long dress, both of them were slightly stunned.

What Chi Wenyan was wearing today was the dark gray suit that she had asked the old tailor to customize.

The champagne-colored dress she was wearing was surprisingly harmonious with the color of his suit.

Standing together, they look like a carefully matched couple's outfit.

There was a subtle awkwardness in the air, and it seemed like something was quietly brewing.

The banquet hall is dazzling, with crystal chandeliers pouring down dazzling light.

Reflecting the elegant clothes and the clinking of glasses.

As Chi Wenyan and Ji Wan entered the banquet hall, they attracted everyone's attention.

The man has an upright posture, and his dark grey suit is well-tailored, which further highlights his extraordinary and noble demeanor.

The woman's champagne-colored long dress glows softly under the light, looking elegant and noble.
