Looking at the three assassins lying in a pool of blood, Manager Zhen finally realized what Shi Miao meant by "They've arrived."
As Shi Miao opened the car door, she said to the two of them, "Get out of the car."
Manager Zhen and the driver nodded, somewhat bewildered, and then got out of the car.
As soon as he got out of the car, Manager Zhen felt a strong wind overhead. He brushed his slightly messy hair aside and looked up at the helicopter circling in the air, following the sound.
Several people stood looking down at the open cabin door.
Although they were quite far apart and their faces were not clearly visible, the aura they exuded was astonishing.
Soon, the helicopter lowered a long ladder, and five people jumped down from it.
Ji Yanchen, who was leading the group, strode up to Shi Miao, looked her up and down, and only after seeing that she was alright did his slightly furrowed brows relax, and he finally felt relieved.
Seeing the man's nervous expression, Shi Miao smiled and said, "I told you everything's fine."
At this moment, Fu Xi, who was standing a step away from Ji Yanchen, stepped forward and greeted him, "Miss Shi!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao looked up at him and nodded slightly, "Long time no see."
Fu Xi chuckled twice, ignoring Ji Yanchen beside him, as if Shi Miao was his boss, and said very enthusiastically, "Miss Shi, please get on the plane."
Manager Zhen, who was standing to the side, was shocked beyond words.
Fu Xi was someone he knew and had met; he was King's right-hand man.
As for King, he is too mysterious and has never shown his face to outsiders. Fu Xi has always been the one to handle the affairs of the organization, so no one knows what King looks like.
However, judging from the way the group moved just now, it was clear that the man in the lead was the one who respected them.
The only thing Manager Zhen could think of that could make Fu Xi willingly follow behind him in a humble manner was that this young man was the legendary King.
What surprised him even more was that he could tell that his young lady had a close relationship with the man in front of him, and Fu Xi's attitude towards his young lady was also very respectful.
Although the relationship seems a bit convoluted, everything makes sense once you delve deeper.
To verify his suspicions, Manager Zhen coughed and asked directly, "Young Miss, who is this?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao turned to look at him, thought for a moment, and introduced him: "My boyfriend, Ji Yanchen."
She paused, met the man's eyes, and seemed to ask if she could reveal his identity.
With just one look, Ji Yanchen understood what Shi Miao wanted to say.
He took Shi Miao's hand and then looked at Manager Zhen beside him, saying succinctly, "King."
Although Manager Zhen had already guessed his identity, hearing him say it with his own ears still felt somewhat unbelievable, and he was in a daze.
The mysterious and ruthless King stood before him, and he was none other than his young mistress's boyfriend.
I wonder if the head of the family knows about this.
By the time he realized what was happening, he was already sitting on the plane.
...
Shortly after, the plane landed on a private helipad on King's territory.
Manager Zhen and his driver were arranged to take a short rest.
It wasn't until he sat down and took a sip of hot tea that Manager Zhen's malfunctioning brain finally came back to normal.
He quickly took out his phone from his bag and called Shi Jing, reporting the events of the day to him without any further ado.
It's obvious that those people were specifically targeting the young lady, because they didn't want her to become the heir.
Therefore, unless someone within the Shi family bribed the assassin, it could not possibly have been an outsider.
Moreover, the most suspicious people are the Third Master's faction who support Miss Shiying as the heir.
Fortunately, they escaped danger, and there was no need to worry about any mistakes in the contract. The assessment was also completed perfectly by the young lady.
Next, it's time for the final evaluation and voting. He himself will undoubtedly support the young lady.
According to what he knew, it seemed that most of the old men in the elders' council supported Shi Ying as the successor.
However, this vote requires the participation of elites from all levels of the Shi family; it is not solely decided by the elders.
Moreover, the young lady's strength displayed in the first assessment had already won over many people.
Therefore, all things considered, the young lady has a very high chance of winning.
Thinking this way, Manager Zhen couldn't sit still any longer and just wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.
He had just picked up his briefcase to go find Shi Miao when, in the next second, the person he was looking for appeared at the door.
"Young Miss!" Manager Zhen's eyes lit up.
Shi Miao hummed in agreement and handed him the folder she was holding. "This is the cooperation agreement with the King organization."
Manager Zhen was slightly taken aback, but after realizing what was happening, his eyes and brows revealed undisguised excitement and joy. He reached out and took the book, immediately starting to read it.
Shi Miao looked at him, her dark eyes clear, her cool voice pure and unadulterated, "Manager Zhen, please take a look first. If there are any problems, we can make some changes."
Manager Zhen nodded and said cheerfully, "Yes, Miss!"
......
Meanwhile, on the other side...
After receiving a phone call, Shi Song's face immediately darkened.
The elder glanced at him, noticed something was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Song pressed her temples, then irritably threw her phone on the table. She hadn't expected that such a meticulously planned operation would still fail. "I messed up."
The elder frowned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "How could this be? Who saved them?"
Shi Song's temples throbbed uncontrollably. He just couldn't understand why Shi Miao always managed to escape safely. How could anyone have such a lucky life!
"It's unclear at the moment. The entire group of assassins they sent was wiped out; not a single one survived."
The elder's cheek twitched, and he slammed his teacup on the table with a bang, his face exuding an imposing aura even without anger. "A bunch of useless trash!"
Shi Song's sharp eyes narrowed slightly as he slowly voiced his concerns, "The position of heir may be about to change."
The elder frowned. "How is that possible? Even if they escaped the pursuit, their cooperation with the King organization could not possibly be handled properly."
Shi Song pursed his lips slightly and did not reply. Although he knew that what the elder said was true, his intuition told him that it was not that simple. There were just too many variables surrounding Shi Miao.
The Grand Elder, of course, had no idea what Shi Song was thinking. He tapped the table lightly with his finger and asked, "They shouldn't suspect us, right?"
Shi Song rubbed his temples wearily and said in a deep voice, "So what if we have doubts? We will naturally not admit to things without evidence."
The elder nodded, picked up his teacup again, and took a sip. "You're right."
