How could this speculation not frighten Shi Zhixin, who had always been confident of victory?
After all, thanks to his character and the help of benefactors, he climbed up from the bottom with great ease.
Even though there had been warning signs of danger in the past, he had managed to avoid them all.
After that, his career reached new heights.
This time, Xin Chi was allowed to make the deal ahead of schedule, but he disappeared without a trace as soon as he arrived in He City.
Although the incident happened unexpectedly, it wasn't a big deal for Shi Zhixin, who was mentally prepared.
As the saying goes, if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
He knew in his heart how many heinous things he had done.
If even one thing is revealed, it will be enough to make him die without a burial place.
So how could he not be careful?
It's because Xin Chi was someone he personally promoted and who was involved in many important matters.
That's why Shi Zhixin equipped him with a human skin mask so realistic that it was impossible to tell the difference.
It should be noted that due to the scarcity of materials and the complexity of the process, Ji Xiuming did not make many of these human skin masks for him.
One more could be assigned to Xin Chi, partly to prevent him from being implicated if Xin Chi were arrested.
Because of the human skin mask, his identity was not so easy to discover.
With Aunt Xin still hospitalized, Xin Chi will keep his mouth shut.
Therefore, Shi Zhixin was not too worried.
Even the journey south was just a precaution.
Otherwise, he would have packed up and run away immediately.
Naturally, they would no longer bother to arrange their own work or the whereabouts of their subordinates.
He thought he had covered everything perfectly, but the sudden warning shattered his composure.
Coming to my senses, I no longer bothered to check my luggage.
He locked the suitcase, grabbed a bewildered Wang Anran, and headed outside.
"Hey, Zhixin, what are you doing?"
"The rice I cooked is still in the pot. Why don't we eat first before we leave?"
Wang Anran was unaware of the situation before she was dragged outside.
She thought Shi Zhixin was rushing to catch the train and wouldn't have enough time.
After all, the arrival and departure times of trains are fixed and will not change for any one person.
If you miss this train, you'll need to pay for another ticket yourself, which will delay your journey south.
Thinking about it this way, compared to Shi Zhixin missing out on the breakfast she made, catching the train was naturally more important.
Before her husband could even reply, Wang Anran considerately made the decision for him on her own:
"Zhixin, if you're in a hurry, just go ahead and do your thing. I'll pack you a couple of steamed buns or something, you can take them with you to eat on the way."
As she spoke, she tried to break free from Shi Zhixin's hand, intending to go to the kitchen to put out the fire on the stove and then pretend to eat.
However, Wang Anran, being a woman, was naturally no match for a man in terms of strength, and she was never able to escape Shi Zhixin's control.
Instead, because she struggled free, Shi Zhixin increased his strength again, squeezing her wrist until it stung.
"hiss……"
Wang Anran's wrist was stinging, and her suddenly quickened pace prevented her from achieving her goal.
Only after getting into the car, and while Shi Zhixin was starting the engine, did she rub her slightly red wrist and complain:
"Zhixin, I don't need to rush to my son's place, why do you have to drag me away?"
"Don't worry, even if you can't eat breakfast at home, you can still find time to pack up a couple of steamed buns!"
As she spoke, Wang Anran was about to open the car door.
