Sang Yuwan's expression changed drastically, anger surged up her face like a tide, and her eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Rong Zhi, don't go too far."
As they reached the stairwell, Xuansi and Minglang suddenly stopped.
A surge of anger instantly filled Minglang's eyes, and his chest heaved violently.
Just as he was about to take a step, Xiansi gently tugged at his arm.
Minglang bit his cheek and stood still.
Sang Yuwan did not receive a response from Rong Zhi; instead, Liu Changqing answered the phone.
"Chairman, Jiang Hanbo's wife has woken up, and the police have come to take her statement. According to her, someone forced her to do this?"
Sang Yuwan laughed in anger, a sarcastic smile curving her lips. "Second Master acted swiftly enough."
Liu Changqing said cautiously, "Chairman, I'll stay here tonight and won't leave your side. You can rest assured."
Sang Yuwan's figure appeared even more aloof under the lights. After a half-second, she spoke in a deep voice, "President Liu, if anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible."
Liu Changqing's voice trembled violently, "Chairman, don't worry. If any problems arise, I will resign immediately without hesitation."
He knew in his heart that Sang Yuwan had already shown leniency by not punishing Jiang Hanbo in his case.
She and the late chairman Bo Xingzhi never gave anyone a second chance.
Sang Yuwan hung up the phone and glanced at the stairwell. "Go back and rest."
Xiansi didn't say anything, but Minglang couldn't help but add, "Madam, I don't believe Second Master would be so kind. Maybe I should go to the hospital to get checked out."
Sang Yuwan looked away and asked, "Has the matter concerning the car been investigated?"
Minglang's heart skipped a beat. He clenched his fingers, lowered his head, and said, "Not yet."
Sang Yuwan's tone hardened, "I'll give you three more days. If you still can't figure it out, go back to the Ming family."
Minglang's heart felt as if it were being clenched tightly by a large hand, making it difficult to breathe. He looked up, his eyes reddening, and said, "I understand."
Sang Yuwan took two heavy breaths, then turned and went upstairs.
-
Seeing Minglang standing there in a daze, Xiansi quickly tugged at him, "Why aren't you going to check on the car?"
His bright face was as gloomy and heavy as a sky covered with dark clouds. "This is really damn weird. I've been investigating for two days and I still don't have a single clue."
Strings also found it strange, "It shouldn't be like this, right?"
Minglang frowned and walked downstairs. "In the entire Jiangcheng, there's not a third person with such connections and influence."
Xian Si paused, then asked in a flustered voice, "Second Master?"
His bright eyes froze, and his heart raced. "I'm going to the hospital right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed downstairs.
Xiansi hurriedly chased after him, "Don't be impulsive, I just have a suspicion..."
"Besides him, there's no one else." Minglang's blood boiled, and he said angrily.
Xian Si's tone became even more urgent, "Even if he really did it, without evidence, what can you do to him?"
Minglang's gaze hardened. "He dared to lay a hand on Madam. I'll kill him."
Seeing his increasingly excited state, Xian Si grew anxious and quickened her pace. As she descended the third to last step, her foot slipped.
"ah!"
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, leaving only the sound of rapid and uneasy breathing echoing in my ears.
There was no pain as I had expected, only a strong masculine scent lingering in my nostrils.
For a few seconds, Xian Si was in a daze before suddenly snapping back to reality.
Only then did she realize that Minglang had caught her the moment she fell.
At that moment, the two embraced.
Everything around seemed to stand still, with only rapid breathing and heartbeats echoing in the quiet space.
Xuan Si's heart pounded, her face flushed red, "You...you..."
Minglang lay on the ground, turning his head away, not daring to look at her. He silently removed his hands from her waist and placed them at his sides. His hands were clenched into fists.
He was practically a human cushion.
Xiansi bit her lower lip and hurriedly climbed off him.
I accidentally pressed on his well-defined abs.
Minglang's heartbeat suddenly stopped, her face flushed instantly, and her whole body tensed up like a stone.
Xiansi got up and hurriedly ran towards her room.
Minglang lay on the ground for a full ten minutes before slowly sitting up.
He touched his abs, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.
-
The next day.
Sang Yuwan woke up an hour late, which was unusual for her, and Xiansi didn't come upstairs to wake her.
I'm going to a medical facility this morning, so I don't need to go to the company. It's okay to get up a little late.
As Sang Yuwan was having breakfast, Minglang walked over with dark circles under his eyes and said, "Good morning, Madam."
"Good morning." Sang Yuwan glanced at him and frowned. "Did you stay up late last night?"
Minglang, who had been holding in his anger all night, turned red instantly upon hearing this. "I'm having trouble sleeping."
Sang Yuwan thought he was anxious because he was trying to find the truth, "because he has such a lack of self-confidence."
Minglang knew she had misunderstood, so he didn't explain, but just smiled awkwardly.
Sang Yuwan looked at him suspiciously, "Are you in a relationship?"
As Xiansi approached with the documents, her expression froze, and her heart suddenly raced.
Minglang scratched the back of his head, blushing as he denied, "No."
Sang Yuwan was even more surprised, "Why are you blushing?"
Ding-dong—
Minglang's heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to continue speaking, the doorbell rang.
"Who could it be at this time?"
Minglang muttered something under his breath and quickly walked towards the front door, afraid that Sang Yuwan would notice something amiss.
Suppressing her panic, Xian Si walked to Sang Yuwan's side. "Besides Mrs. Ming, there won't be anyone else."
Sang Yuwan ate her breakfast by herself without saying a word.
After she bought this place, apart from Lan Xiya and Mingyi visiting twice, no one else has come.
Bo Xingzhi had been engaged to her for four years, but he had never been here before, let alone stayed overnight.
At that time, Sang Yuwan thought he was self-disciplined and a gentleman, never imagining that he wasn't interested in her at all.
Lan Xiya's early morning visit was most likely for Mingyi's sake.
Yesterday, she had already asked Xiansi to send Mingyi the latest recruitment plan from the "Bo Group." There weren't many positions, and Mingyi was qualified for very few of them.
Presumably, Lan Xiya came here wanting her to give her special treatment.
Xiansi placed a document in front of her. "Madam, please take a look at this."
Sang Yuwan slightly lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, "Has a background check been done?"
Xian Si stood respectfully. "Qin Zhihua. 23 years old. Graduated from the Communication University with a major in performance. A newly signed artist under 'Shen's Media'. Her family background is average. Her first encounter with Master Bo was at the Elegant Gathering a month ago. At that time, she was Shen Qianjie's date."
Sang Yuwan looked at the photo pasted on the document, her gaze somewhat cold.
Xian Si paused for a moment, then continued, "I've already had the legal department send a termination letter to 'Shen's Media' on behalf of Qin Zhihua. As for President Shen, does Madam want to..."
Before he could finish speaking, a clear, tense, and slightly angry voice came from the stairwell.
"Second Master, you can't go up there."
"Second Master, stop right there!"
"Second Master, don't force me to take action."
Xian Si was taken aback. "Second Master? What's he doing here? Madam, should we call security?"
