When Qiao Wanwan returned to her office, Jiang Dong immediately said, "Madam, please advise on how to handle this."

Qiao Wanwan slowly sat down on the sofa and sighed softly, "I originally thought that if we didn't make too much of a fuss, she could just take the initiative to apologize and be fired. But now, that's obviously impossible."

Just as Jiang Dong was about to advise her not to be soft-hearted, Qiao Wanwan's phone rang.

Qiao Wanwan glanced at it, a cold glint appearing in her eyes, and directly refused to answer.

"Do what needs to be done," Qiao Wanwan instructed, "but don't let the harm extend to family members, and don't let innocent people get hurt."

Jiang Dong nodded. "Yes."

The phone kept ringing, and Qiao Wanwan waited until Jiang Dong left before answering, "What is it?"

"Wanwan, I've been discharged from the hospital," Wen Lijing's voice came. "Can I see you?"

"I don't have time," Qiao Wanwan refused directly. "Besides, you certainly don't want to be beaten by Jing Ting a second time, right?"

Wen Lijing was silent for a moment before speaking, "Zhan Xiuwen doesn't know who's behind him. The other party is very mysterious. And if he wanted Jingting and the child to die, they probably wouldn't be alive now. So I guess he wants to torture you slowly and keep you in pain. The fact that he dares to treat Jingting like this shows that he is very arrogant."

"I understand, but thank you anyway for telling me all this." Qiao Wanwan's tone remained cold. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

......

A few days later, a rumor circulated within the Dijin Group that Vice President Wang, who had just resigned, had committed suicide by jumping off a building.

However, the person survived but injured their spine, resulting in lifelong paralysis.

Upon hearing the rumors, the senior executives who attended the meeting that day were all greatly surprised.

I originally thought Qiao Wanwan had no tricks up her sleeve, or if she did, at most she would just get blacklisted within the industry.

I never expected the outcome to be so tragic!

The consequences of betraying the Imperial View Group are starkly clear before our eyes; no one dares to walk down such a deadly path!

Qiao Wanwan also heard the news from her secretary and called Jiang Dong over to ask, "Did you arrange this and then stage it as a suicide?"

"Madam has quite the imagination," Jiang Dong said with a smile. "Master Zhan said there's no need to get such obvious blood on your hands. It's true that I caused her to jump, but I definitely didn't push her, and I didn't stage the scene. It's not difficult to drive someone crazy to the point of jumping off a building."

Qiao Wanwan nodded. "Let's leave it at that. Don't push her any further. Besides, her current condition is probably worse than death."

"I know, Madam, please rest assured."

"It's been so many days, why hasn't Jingting come to meet me and my master yet?"

"I don't know either. I've been trying to contact Zhan Ye, but he hasn't responded."

Qiao Wanwan frowned. "Something's not right... Jing Ting couldn't possibly not take my words to heart, unless he has a reason for not being able to see me and Master."

"Madam, what should we do now?"

Qiao Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Send a message to Jing Ting and say that I am not feeling well."

"yes."

That evening, Qiao Wanwan worked overtime until 10 p.m., but still hadn't received a reply from Zhan Jingting.

She tidied up her desk and quickly went downstairs to go home.

As soon as she got into the car, a dark figure followed her in.

"Jingting!" Before he could even take off his hat and mask, Qiao Wanwan excitedly hugged him tightly. "You're finally here!"

"How are you?" Zhan Jingting asked anxiously. "Where does it hurt?"

"I'm not feeling unwell." Qiao Wanwan removed the mask from his face. "I just miss you so much."

"Good boy." Zhan Jingting patted his head. "I've been busy looking for Eleven, so I haven't had time to see you."

"Are you so busy that you forgot my instructions?" Qiao Wanwan grasped his hand. "You've come at the right time. Since it's getting dark, come home with me. Let your master take your pulse, and I'll draw some blood for tests."

"It's so late, the old man must be asleep," Zhan Jingting said. "How about another day?"

“You said you’d do it as soon as possible last time, but then we never heard from you again. We finally met today, why do you want to reschedule?” Qiao Wanwan disagreed. “No, it has to be today.”

"Wanwan, listen to me," Zhan Jingting said. "I've found some clues and I'm going abroad soon. I've even arranged a boat. I'll be leaving in a little while."

"As you know, right now, the most important thing for us is Xiao Jiu; the child's matter cannot be delayed."

“But you’re just as important.” Qiao Wanwan looked at him with concern. “Which country are you going to find Xiao Jiu? I’ll arrange for someone to go with you and protect you.”

"No."

"No, I won't feel at ease without someone by your side!"

"Alright." Zhan Jingting couldn't refuse, so he had to agree. "Just have Jiang Dong arrange it."

"I'll call Jiangdong right now!"

After finishing her call, Qiao Wanwan looked at the man in front of her again. "Jing Ting, is there something you're hiding from me?"

Zhan Jingting smiled. "Why do you ask that?"

"I don't know, but I have a feeling you're hiding something from me this time you've come back..."

"Silly girl, we've been through so much hardship to finally reunite. How could I possibly keep it from you?"

Qiao Wanwan was skeptical, "...Promise me that no matter what happens, you won't hide it from me."

"Okay." Zhan Jingting kissed her forehead. "I promise."

"Once you get there, please let me know immediately if you receive any news."

"Okay." Zhan Jingting looked at her intently. "It's getting late, I should go."
