"Just do what I tell you to do. When did you start asking so many questions?"
asparagus,"……"
She secretly pursed her lips, then nodded in agreement.
Sure enough, without his wife by his side, he became quite irritable.
...
North City.
Ye Xinning arrived in Beicheng and met up with Ye Xiaoxiao.
In the hotel, Ye Xiaoxiao handed her the documents for this business trip while teasing her.
"Sis, I heard from President Xiao that you and your husband went on a business trip. How was it? Did you have fun?"
"So-so."
"A sudden business trip forces you and your brother-in-law to be apart. Are you feeling a little sad?"
Ye Xinning gave Ye Xiaoxiao a gossipy look, "Why are you always so curious about these things?"
"This isn't about caring about your marriage with your brother-in-law. Just tell me, aren't you very reluctant to let go?"
Ye Xinning tapped her on the head. "No, work is work. If you keep asking these irrelevant questions, you'll have to organize these documents yourself."
Ye Xiaoxiao listened and dared not ask any more questions.
Just kidding, without Ye Xinning's help, she doesn't know if she could have figured out these materials.
The project Ye Xinning was on a business trip to Beicheng for was an infringement case.
There was a lot of information, and she and Ye Xiaoxiao worked together until late at night to sort it out.
Since she had to meet with the client early the next morning, Ye Xiaoxiao went back to her room to rest.
Ye Xinning took a shower, dried her hair, and was about to go to sleep when she received a call from Shen Lin.
On the phone, Shen Lin's voice came through, his usually cold tone softened with a touch of warmth.
"Asleep?"
Ye Xinning shook her head and replied, "No, I just came out after taking a shower."
Are you tired?
Ye Xinning almost laughed at his concern, "Shen Lin, I'm not a weak person, you don't need to worry about me so much."
As for who the gentle figure is, it's naturally the one from New Zealand.
"That sounds like you're unhappy?"
"I'm not unhappy." Ye Xinning sighed. She really wasn't unhappy; she was just a little uncomfortable with Shen Lin's concern.
"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Without dwelling on the question for too long, Shen Lin changed the subject.
"I'm going to meet with the client tomorrow to discuss the case."
"Don't overwork yourself, take good care of yourself, and don't catch a cold."
"Hmm." He was the one who always asked about her situation, so Ye Xinning also asked him in a low voice about his work progress.
"This is a bit tricky."
Hearing him say this, Ye Xinning was surprised. She hadn't expected that Shen Lin would encounter such difficulties.
"Then you go ahead with your work and don't worry about me. We'll talk about it when we get home."
"Um."
Later, the two talked about other things until it was almost time for Chen Lin to hang up.
...
The next day.
Ye Xinning and Ye Xiaoxiao went to the restaurant to meet their client, a popular celebrity, who was suing his illegitimate child.
Stalking is a serious problem, but most celebrities in the entertainment industry choose to remain silent. However, it is precisely this silence that emboldens stalkers and scalpers.
Ye Xinning's client is a very famous male actor. Not long ago, his private residence was illegally broken into. Not only that, but a surveillance camera was also installed in his residence. It was this escalating behavior that led the male actor to finally contact them, hoping to help him protect his rights.
It was already evening when we finished discussing things and came out.
Thinking of Ye Xinning's methodical performance during the conversation, Ye Xiaoxiao said with great admiration, "No wonder President Xiao entrusted this case to you, Sister. You have a certain brilliance when handling this kind of matter."
"What light?"
"A messenger of justice."
Ye Xinning couldn't help but laugh when she saw Ye Xiaoxiao's exaggerated expression.
"And Xiaoxiao, why did you choose to become a lawyer?"
"I like it, but if I had to give a reason, there doesn't seem to be one."
Ye Xinning looked into the distance, and Ye Xiaoxiao asked her, "Sister, why did you choose to be a lawyer? Back then, we all thought you would definitely take over the Ye Group."
Ye Xinning lowered his head slightly and remained silent for a long time before speaking again.
"Perhaps, they want to see what the best weapon to protect themselves is."
"I thought my sister gave up inheriting the Ye Group because of your father's passing."
When Ye Xinning mentioned her father, her eyes revealed obvious sadness and loneliness.
"He has his own choices, I understand. There are many reasons why he truly gave up the inheritance of the Ye Group. Perhaps, this is destiny?"
Ye Xiaoxiao knew she didn't want to talk about this, since it wasn't a happy topic, so she pointed to the milk tea shop across the street.
"Sis, let me treat you to milk tea. Wait for me here."
"No need, let's just go back." Ye Xinning wasn't actually that enthusiastic about milk tea.
Ye Xiaoxiao, however, was already smiling as she walked towards the milk tea shop diagonally across the street, turning back to say to her as she went, "Milk tea is a wonderful thing that can instantly change a person's mood. Why don't you have some, sis? Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
Ye Xinning had no choice but to stand by the roadside and wait for her.
It was very cold, and there weren't many people on the road. Ye Xinning buried her head in her coat collar and put her hands in her pockets to keep warm.
Just then, footsteps sounded behind her. Ye Xinning was about to turn around to see what was going on when something hard pressed against her waist, and the person behind her spoke.
"If you don't want a knife to be plunged into your body, don't scream or shout, just come with us."
Ye Xinning froze. She couldn't see what the person behind her looked like, but the man's voice was cold and ruthless, and she had no doubt about the credibility of his words.
She was being blackmailed on such an ordinary night in such an unfamiliar city.
If she dares to make any rash move, the knife will definitely go in and out in the next second.
She slowly moved her body. Ye Xiaoxiao was still waiting at the milk tea shop, completely unaware of what was wrong with her.
She bit her lip. Perhaps she had been dawdling too much, because the person behind her had lost patience. The next second, she felt a chill on her shoulder and completely lost consciousness.
...
When Ye Xinning regained consciousness, she had no idea where she was.
Her eyes were blindfolded and her hands were bound, making it impossible for her to move.
The surrounding environment was not visible; the only sound was the faint lapping of waves.
So, it's at the beach?
Ye Xinning trembled all over. The dark environment had awakened some of her memories, and her lips were completely bloodless.
But she knew that at this moment, she could only rely on herself, and there was no one else.
She couldn't be afraid, and she had to calm herself down.
There were people talking not far away, and Ye Xinning focused her attention on what they were saying.
"What instructions have you received from the boss?"
