If I'm not mistaken, Cao Nana harbored deep resentment and, after currying favor with the leader of the Hong Gang, sought revenge.
After all, although it was Gu Yibei who caused Cao's bankruptcy, if Ji Zhinan hadn't been involved, Gu Yibei wouldn't have wasted his precious time to bring down a small, insignificant company in his eyes.
Cao Nana naturally couldn't afford to offend Gu Yibei, so she could only direct all her hatred and resentment towards Ji Zhinan.

The short man walked in front, with Ji Zhinan leisurely following behind him, while the tall man followed behind Ji Zhinan.
"Miss Cao, I've brought the person over to you."
Seeing that Ji Zhinan hadn't been brought in bound, Cao Nana frowned deeply, her displeasure evident on her face.
"Didn't I tell you to beat her up first before bringing her here? Why is she still perfectly fine?!"
"This..." The two men looked at each other, somewhat embarrassed.
They can't exactly say they intended to hit someone, but ended up getting slapped instead; that would be too humiliating for them as men.
"Miss Cao, she's just a woman. Do you think we can't handle her?"
The tall man tried everything to save face...
Cao Nana stared at Ji Zhinan with a sullen and sinister expression.
Ji Zhinan, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, as if it were none of her business. Only when she saw Cao Nana did she narrow her eyes slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, exuding composure and calmness.
"Miss Cao, it's been a long time."
Seeing Cao Nana seemed to be within her expectations, and not at all surprising.
Cao Nana couldn't help but ask, "You knew it was me?!"
Ji Zhinan neither confirmed nor denied it.
She didn't know at first, but when she heard the tall man say "Miss Cao," she quickly realized who it was.
The only person with the surname Cao who had a grudge against her was Cao Nana.
Ji Zhinan's leisurely and casual expression stung Cao Nana's eyes.
Cao Nana swore that the expression she hated seeing most in her life was Ji Zhinan's!
It was as if, in her eyes, everything was just a clown's act, beneath her notice. That superior, self-important air about her was utterly detestable!
"Ji Zhinan, what goes around comes around. Don't think you can get out of here. I'm waiting to see you cry!"
"I'm sorry, I have a lot of quirks. I don't like to laugh or cry. You probably won't be able to wait that long."
"you!"
Cao Nana wanted to say something, but Ji Zhinan bypassed her and walked directly towards Xing Fei.
Ji Zhixia lay unconscious on the ground, while Xing Fei sat next to her with her hands tied.
Ji Zhinan glanced at it and was not surprised to see Ji Zhixia there.
Xing Fei only verbally harassed Cao Nana a few times, but Cao Nana harbored resentment and was bound to her side. Ji Zhixia betrayed her when she was at her lowest point, so Cao Nana probably hates her no less than she hates herself.
"Nan Nan!" Xing Fei's eyes lit up when she saw Ji Zhi Nan arrive.
"Hmm." Ji Zhinan responded, squatting down to untie the ropes binding her back. "Are you alright?"
Xing Fei shook her head.
She was lucky; Ji Zhixia shielded her from the slap. Cao Nana had originally intended to hit her, but because Nan Nan arrived, Cao Nana's slap didn't land.
Ji Zhinan quickly looked Xing Fei over and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was really alright.
"Nan Nan, what should we do..." Xing Fei held onto Ji Zhi Nan's hand tightly and refused to let go.
Although she is usually carefree, this was her first time experiencing something like this, and it's understandable that a 19-year-old girl would be scared.
