"Are you alright?" Zhong Li helped Gu Wanqing out of the car.
Gu Wanqing shook her head and said softly, "It's nothing. Who are you?"
Zhong Li said in a low voice, "Cough, you'll know when the boss arrives. Let me help you to my car first."
Upon hearing this, a hint of suspicion flashed in Gu Wanqing's eyes. For some reason, Shi Miao came to mind, and she pursed her lips, "Okay."
Veins bulged on Qin Chu's forehead as he suppressed his raging anger. "Where are you taking her?"
Zhong Li ignored him and helped Gu Wanqing into the jeep in front.
Fu Xi's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID, let go of Qin Chu, and walked aside to answer the call.
Seeing this, Qin Chu breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his aching shoulder as he strode toward the jeep ahead.
Zhong Li closed the car door, turned around and blocked his way, her eyes filled with coldness, and warned, "I advise you not to make any more futile struggles."
Qin Chu's face was ashen. He clenched his fists and then loosened them, then clenched them again, standing still for a moment.
......
After a two-hour standoff, Shi Miao and Ji Yanchen finally arrived.
"Boss, over here! You've finally arrived." Zhong Li's eyes lit up when he saw the person who came, and he waved.
Fu Xi and Ji Yanchen's eyes met, their eyes filled with excitement.
Just as she was about to say hello, Ji Yanchen gave her a warning look.
Fu Xi: "......"
Shi Miao adjusted her baseball cap, walked over unhurriedly, lifted the corner of her eye, and asked in a low, gentle voice, "Where's my mom?"
Zhong Li put her hands in her pockets and slightly raised her chin. "She's fine. The effects of the medication haven't worn off yet. She's resting in the car."
Qin Chu's temples throbbed uncontrollably; he could hardly believe what he was hearing. "Shi Miao? The boss he's talking about is you!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao slightly raised her eyes, her gaze unrestrained and flirtatious, and casually curled the corners of her lips: "Tsk, you're quite good at courting death."
"What...what exactly do you want to do?" Qin Chu was extremely annoyed, never expecting that Shi Miao was so capable.
Shi Miao crossed his arms, his dark eyes filled with hostility, and said coldly, "Speak, what exactly is your relationship with the hidden families?"
Qin Chu's face stiffened, and his hands, hanging by his sides, clenched into fists and then relaxed. "Heh, you've actually found your way here. Then you should know that you can't afford to mess with hidden families. You'd better be smart and let me go."
Shi Miao's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he said arrogantly, "You think I'm afraid?"
Qin Chu's face was tense, and the veins on his temples bulged. "What will it take for you to let me go?"
"No, why do you think I would let someone who killed me twice go?"
"You!" Qin Chu's face turned pale and then red, as if he had been choked.
Shi Miao tilted her head slightly and ordered, "Take him back and interrogate him thoroughly."
"yes."
The men Zhong Li brought stepped forward and immediately seized Qin Chu.
"Shi Miao, how dare you! The reclusive family will not let you get away with this!"
"Tsk, let's give it a try then."
......
After seeing Qin Chu being taken away, Fu Xi looked respectfully at the man standing to the side and said, "Boss."
Ji Yanchen nodded and said in a calm tone, "Mm."
Zhong Li was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then came to her senses, her eyes wide with astonishment, "Holy crap, you're King?"
Shi Miao looked up at the man beside her, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, her tone sounding quite calm: "Aren't you going to explain?"
What's it like when your longtime nemesis turns out to be your boyfriend?
Ji Yanchen's clear, sharp eyes were softened by a gentle light, and his tone was soothing and deep: "Yes, that's me."
Shi Miao lowered her eyelashes slightly and said lazily, "You've been hiding it quite well."
"Yes, S, the diamond tycoon from F continent." The man's deep, charming voice trailed off.
Shi Miao: "......"
Zhong Li was no longer calm. "Wait, boss, how did you and King get together? What's going on between you two?"
Shi Miao touched the bridge of her nose, her tone lazy and casual: "Ah, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend."
Zhong Li: "Damn, are you crazy! I've suffered a lot at their hands."
Fu Xi looked at Shi Miao with a complicated expression. Didn't Fu Jin say that the boss's girlfriend was just a high school student?
"Miaomiao!" Gu Wanqing suddenly opened the car door and slowly got out.
Shi Miao frowned slightly, stepped forward to help her up, and said gently, "Why did you come down?"
Gu Wanqing patted her hand and said softly, "I'm fine, I just regained my strength."
Shi Miao nodded, then looked up at Zhong Li, "We'll head back first. Keep an eye on Qin Chu's situation."
"Why did you leave so soon after you arrived? A flower was really eager to see you."
Shi Miao raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a serious tone, "Go back to school."
Zhong Li: "......"
