☆, Chapter 162 A Change Occurs
Needless to say, the phantom of the White Tiger doesn't appear easily; it only manifests as a phantom when the main body expresses a strong will.
Realizing the problem, Jiang Ran pursed her lips slightly, feeling even warmer inside, and her eyes filled with more affection as she looked at Si Zuochen.
Naturally, only she could see this White Tiger aura. Although Si Yanxiao couldn't see what was happening in front of him, he could still keenly sense that Si Zuochen had undergone some subtle changes.
Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, Si Youlin spoke up, "I agree with my brother."
Seeing that the two were not giving an inch, a hint of difficulty flashed across Si Yanxiao's face. He could reprimand Jiang Ran and question her, but he didn't know how to get along with the two children.
After all, from their perspective, Bai Zhuwei's matter was indeed outside their jurisdiction.
But seeing the two of them standing firmly on Jiang Ran's side, Si Yanxiao's face immediately showed a hint of anger.
He coldly rebuked her, "What are you doing?!"
Si Zuochen pursed his lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and the driver looked up to meet his gaze, replying solemnly, "Be careful that you don't do anything irreparable."
"Irreversible?" Si Yanxiao sneered, following his words. Then, his eyes flashed, and he turned to look at Jiang Ran, his eyes full of disdain. He then mocked, "Hiding behind the child, you really have some skills!"
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with his words.
Si Yanxiao felt as if he had punched cotton, and a sense of discouragement rose in his heart.
Then he scoffed coldly, "You'd better not let me find any evidence, otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly let out a cold snort, then gave her a meaningful look before turning and leaving.
Hearing his warning, Jiang Ran knew that she had become a thorn in his side, and a sense of helplessness welled up in her heart.
It's really bad luck to be wrongly accused like this for no reason!
Si Zuochen watched as Si Yanxiao walked out of the main hall, the danger was over, and his tense emotions finally relaxed a little.
Then he turned to look at Jiang Ran, his eyes filled with scrutiny, and asked directly, "What exactly happened?"
Si Youlin stepped forward and said softly, "Daddy was here just now, so we couldn't ask too many questions. What happened?"
"It's a long story." Jiang Ran pursed her lips slightly, then briefly explained the situation to them, including the details of Jiang Yuechen's help in finding the person.
Upon hearing that her uncle was also involved, the two immediately believed her explanation. After all, if she couldn't solve a problem, Jiang Yuechen might be able to solve it too.
“No wonder…” Si Zuochen murmured after hearing this, then looked at Jiang Ran and slowly said, “No wonder you were unwilling to explain things clearly to Daddy.”
Jiang Yuechen's identity remains a mystery to Si Yanxiao, though they are aware of it.
"Then you'd better be careful from now on, or Daddy might hold a grudge against you because of this," Si Zuochen warned. Although he was reluctant to admit it, it was a fact that Si Yanxiao would lose his mind whenever it came to Bai Zhuwei.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran pursed her lips slightly, her face showing no concern, and replied coldly, "Let him be."
On the other side, Si Yanxiao left the villa in a fit of rage, clutching the jade pendant in his hand, feeling his anger rising from within.
The person was not found, the evidence was not found, and the trail went cold.
A sinister glint flashed in Si Yanxiao's eyes as he drove aimlessly along the highway. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: he would return to the place where Bai Zhuwei had once been to search for evidence.
Looking at the environment where she had lived, Si Yanxiao's face revealed a touch of warmth.
For the next period of time, he maintained a high intensity of rehabilitation training. During the continuous rehabilitation process, his body gradually recovered and he was able to walk without a wheelchair, looking no different from an ordinary person.
The next step after recovering is to investigate Bai Zhuwei's matter. Previously, Gu Nan had given the order on his behalf for various reasons, but now he is handling both company and personal matters.
But since that incident, there has been no news for a long time, and his complexion has been extremely poor during this period.
Gu Nan often stayed by his side. Seeing his depressed mood, although she wasn't afraid of him, the persistent low spirits made him feel uneasy.
"How could such a proposal even be submitted? What is the review department doing?!"
"If you can't do it, get out!"
Before Gu Nan even stepped inside, she heard a reprimand coming from the office. She turned to look at her secretary and gestured to her to indicate what was going on.
The secretary immediately understood and quickly stepped forward to explain, "The audit department manager is inside."
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan pursed her lips slightly and sighed inwardly.
Well, another one has run into trouble.
He then knocked on the door from the outside, and without waiting for a response from inside, he pushed the door open and went in.
Si Yanxiao saw that the door was suddenly kicked open before he could even speak, and he was about to sternly reprimand who was so unruly.
Upon recognizing Gu Nan as the newcomer, he pursed his lips slightly, suppressing his rage somewhat.
When the audit department manager saw Gu Nan, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.
He quickly greeted her, "Assistant Gu."
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan nodded slightly, as if to say hello.
He walked straight up to Si Yanxiao and asked in a low voice, "Why are you so angry for no reason?"
Then, looking at the audit department manager, he slowly said, "You can go out first. I have something to discuss with General Manager Si."
He secretly gestured for him to hurry up and leave. Upon seeing this, the audit department manager quickly nodded and replied, "Okay, okay."
He then spoke to Si Yanxiao, whose face was gloomy and who didn't even give him a look.
He didn't seem to care at all. After saying that, he hurriedly pushed the door open and closed it behind him, moving as fast as if a vicious wolf was chasing him.
Upon seeing him emerge, the secretary hurried forward, her brow furrowed slightly: "How did it go?"
The audit manager shook his head, his face grim, and then sighed softly.
The secretary instantly understood his unspoken meaning: everything was not serious.
After everyone left, Gu Nan sat down opposite him and slowly said, "He's at least twenty years older than you, and he's worked his whole life to get to this position. You scolded him so harshly, and everyone outside could hear it. You didn't even give him any face."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao suddenly scoffed coldly: "Give me face?"
"The Si family doesn't want useless trash. The capable should be in charge, and those who can't do the job should get out as soon as possible!"
Gu Nan knew he was angry, so she pursed her lips and decided not to try to persuade him anymore.
Talking about social etiquette now is just pointless and pointless.
Seeing that Gu Nan didn't respond for a long time, Si Yanxiao realized that his words had been a bit harsh, so he softened his expression and changed the subject: "Has there been any progress?"
After hearing this, Gu Nan slowly shook her head: "No."
Si Yanxiao's expression suddenly changed, and he coldly rebuked, "If it weren't for Jiang Ran, we wouldn't be like headless flies, completely lost and directionless!"
As Gu Nan listened, a hint of helplessness flashed across his face. He knew that every time Bai Zhuwei was mentioned, Jiang Ran would inevitably be brought up to mock her.
"It's no use saying all this now, since things have already come to this point..."
Gu Nan tried to comfort him, but Si Yanxiao seemed not to hear her. A hint of malice flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly asked, "How is Jiang Ran doing?"
Speaking of this, Gu Nan was speechless, but still answered truthfully: "According to your arrangement, we sent people to watch over him 24 hours a day. He hasn't left the house since the incident, and he hasn't had any chance to contact anyone."
After their last conversation failed, Si Yanxiao, in a fit of anger, confined Jiang Ran to her quarters.
Jiang Ran was naturally unwilling, but faced with absolute power, her refusal was futile.
Si Yanxiao listened, his brows still furrowed, a strange look flashing across his face, as if he were deep in thought.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ran was confined to her home. Fortunately, Si Zuochen and Si Youlin were there to keep her company. The orders in her shop were gradually changed to the kind that could be calculated online, which gave her some things to do.
For those individuals who genuinely need talismans for exorcism and warding off evil, the children would take them with them when they went to school. To avoid arousing Si Yanxiao's suspicion, Jiang Yuechen would send someone to retrieve them and deliver them to their destination.
Although it was a bit troublesome, it was still proceeding in an orderly manner.
That day, Si Zuochen and Si Youlin went to Jiang Ran's room as usual, watching her calculate other people's affairs, which they found quite novel.
