Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Just now, the guys you assigned to watch over Lin Wang reported that Xia Long’s men sought him out last night. They were about to finish him off, and our forces managed to save him in time. He is now begging for death because of the pain. Do you want to ease up on the pain?”

Xia Zhi said coldly, “Don’t show him any mercy. Just keep him from committing suicide.”

Xia Zhi walked towards Chu Nan after hanging up. “I have something to deal with now, so I have to leave now.”

“Alright. Do you need to go somewhere?” Chu Nan replied, “I’ll go with you.”

Xia Zhi declined with a shake of her head. “No need. Did you forget what I told you about keeping the breeze off your legs? Rest at home. I can handle this.”

Even so, Chu Nan persisted. “It’s fine. I’ll be safe within the confines of the car. Besides, have you forgotten that you promised to go out for a meal with me?”

At that point, Xia Zhi had no choice but to give in. However, when they reached their destination, she said to Chu Nan in the car, “I won’t take long. Be good and stay in the car. Don’t undo my hard work.”

“Don’t worry, Zhizhi, I’ll be obedient.””

After hearing Chu Nan’s response, Xia Zhi was able to leave in peace.

Chen Feng sat in the front passenger seat. He had grown numb to Fifth Elder’s doting tone.

As Chen Feng was working just now, he suddenly understood that Fifth Elder was actually tricking Miss Xia Zhi into falling in love with him.

“Chen Feng? Chen Feng…” Chen Feng did not seem to hear Fifth Elder calling out to him.

Chen Feng jolted back to his senses and hurriedly said, “Sir, you called?”

“See if you can find out what’s going on.” Xia Zhi had been visibly flustered, and Chu Nan was concerned.

Chen Feng was afraid that Fifth Elder would blame him for being distracted at work, so he quickly said, “Yes!”

Lin Wang was curled up and trembling when Xia Zhi entered the house.

Lin Wang immediately raised his head and glared angrily at Xia Zhi when he heard the voice. He gritted his teeth and roared, “Kill me if you have the guts! Didn’t you want to kill me last night? Why did you go back on your word? Let me tell you this, you better pray I don’t escape. Otherwise, I’ll tell President Xia about this. He won’t let you off.”

Xia Zhi sat on the chair facing Lin Wang and crossed her legs as she said lightly, “I won’t kill you, because I promised you that I would let you live.”

After saying this, Xia Zhi added, “And you seem to have misunderstood something. The person who wanted to kill you last night wasn’t me, but the person you’ve been pinning your hopes on, Xia Long.”

Lin Wang sneered. “Don’t try to sow discord between me and President Xia. I’ve helped him do so many things in the past. He won’t kill me because of my past contributions! Yes, that’s right, he won’t kill me!”

When Xia Zhi saw Lin nodding his head affirmatively at the end of the sentence, she cocked her head and smiled. “Having doubts?”

“I…” Lin Wang wanted to say something, but failed.

Lin Wang couldn’t bring himself to say it, so Xia Zhi helped out. “You helped him with so much dirty laundry. How could he allow you to live?”

“You might not believe me right now, but that’s okay, because I have proof right here.” After saying this, Xia Zhi took out her phone and played the video that Zhao Shan had just sent her. She projected it on the big screen for Lin Wang to see.

Lin Wang stared intently at the video. He saw a car speeding down the road on a dark night, heading straight for him.

Someone quickly rescued Lin Wang, but he recognized the driver who had hit him.

Lin Wang completely believed it now because he remembered that the person who had bumped into him was called Zhao Shi, and he had been by Xia Long’s side for a long time.

Lin Wang wasn’t stupid. He was aware that Xia Zhi had come here for a specific reason. A question arose in his mind, and he cocked his head to ask, “What do you want me to do for you by telling me this?”
