When Zhong's father came down, he looked pale and exhausted.

Rong Shang knew that she must have suffered in front of that couple again.

Mr. Zhong is a good man, but he's too honest. Sometimes when she looks at him, she feels like she has a lump in her throat that she can't let go of.

I'm so annoyed.

Just then, Mr. Zhong walked past her.

He was so distracted that he didn't even see her car.

have no choice.

Rong Shang could only wave to him, "Dad."

Upon hearing this, Zhong's father paused in his steps.

A few seconds later he turned around and looked over.

I realized I had gone too far.

His lips twitched, but his smile seemed somewhat forced.

"Xiaxia, so you've been here all along."

I thought she had gone out for a late-night snack and hadn't come back yet.

As she got into the car, Rong Shang glanced at him and noticed that his hands were empty; the black bag he had been clutching when he arrived was gone.

She knew it.

"Dad, did you give them the money?"

The sound came from the side.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhong paused, his gaze pausing.

He felt a little guilty. "W-what money?"

He still wanted to keep it from her.

Rong Chang smiled helplessly.

Start the car.

She said, "Don't lie to me."

“I know you gave them money.”

If you want it, then give it to me.

It's just a matter of whether it's worth it or not.

Around 1:00 PM, Rong Chang escorted Zhong's father back to the Zhong family home.

He intentionally let her stay at his house for one night.

Rong Shang refused.

Because she has to go back to the company early tomorrow morning, and the neighborhood is closer to it, it will save her the trouble of running back and forth.

At two o'clock, her assistant called her.

She had just arrived at the entrance of the residential area.

When asked, she answered instinctively.

Shocked, the assistant asked her, "Why are you home so late? Where did you go?"

No reply.

Rong Shang parked her car and took the elevator back to her floor.

As night deepened, drowsiness crept in.

Rong Shang rubbed her tired temples as she asked, "Do you still have something to do so late?"

This assistant is a night owl, so she wasn't surprised that she was still awake so late.

Upon hearing her voice, the assistant said, "Brother Hao wants you to come back to the company tomorrow."

"I know."

This guy must be crazy.

"You made this call specifically to talk to me about this?"

"Yes." What's wrong? Is something strange?

Tsk.

That's amazing.

Rong Chang was convinced.

With a cold expression, she asked her assistant, "Have you forgotten that you just told me about this this afternoon?"

Can you please stop messing with her?

It just so happens that I haven't gone to sleep yet.

If she were woken up from her sleep just to talk about this, she'd probably kill someone.

"Huh?" The assistant thought for a moment, "It seems so."

She chuckled on the phone, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Rong Shang's face darkened, and without saying a word, she hung up the phone.

She now strongly suspects that she might be an undercover agent sent by the opposing side.

how so……

bite!

The elevator doors opened.

The stairwell outside was dark and quiet.

Rong Shang used her phone to light the way and walked slowly forward.

But halfway there, she kept feeling like someone was following her.

When she quickly turned around, she saw nothing.

frown.

That's really strange.

It happened once, and it happened twice.

Was it just her imagination, or was there some unknown force in this world that she couldn't grasp?

Thinking about it, Rong Chang became very wary.

She walked while keeping an eye on what was happening behind her.

But I couldn't hear anything at all.

*Beep beep*. Just then, a text message came in.

It was an unfamiliar number.

Rong Shang clicked on it and saw the message: "I truly love you, but if I can't have you, I'll destroy you."

"..."

nerve.

Without even thinking, Rong Shang immediately added the number to her blacklist.
