“You’re really like your father. That’s what your father told me when my company was in trouble. From the looks of it, like father like son.”
Sire Nine praised him with a smile. He had just recovered from his panic and could not stop praising Ji Ziming.
After Ji Ziming sent Sire Nine off, Pei Ge stood behind him and asked, “So, you lost our bet?”
“Right. I lost. I lost my night.”
Ji Ziming turned around and smiled at Pei Ge. He looked at her with a curious gaze, as though he was thinking if the stupid woman he was looking at was the one he knew.
“You...”
Pei Ge was speechless. In the end, it was still her who lost.
Whether it was his one night or hers, in the end, it was still Ji Ziming doing whatever he wanted to do. She suddenly realized that even if she won the bet with him, he would still have a chance to change it.
“So now, let’s go back to the company. I’ll show you all the information on PYR, including our acquisition plan.”
“But the company you’re talking about is actually a rumor?”
Pei Ge looked at Ji Ziming’s back. Did she lose or was she to blame for not paying attention to these pompous rumors? If she was not by his side, she might really believe those rumors.
“What’s wrong? Are you angry?”
Ji Ziming looked at Pei Ge with gentle eyes and gently held her hand. “It’s my fault for not telling you beforehand. Don’t be angry, alright?”
Pei Ge wanted to pretend to be angry, but when she saw Ji Ziming’s doting expression, she could not help but laugh.
“Since you’re laughing, it means that you’re not angry anymore. Let’s go then. After all, PYR is the main force behind our acquisition this time. With you around, I have lesser things to deal with.”
Ji Ziming said as he pulled Pei Ge’s hand and gave her a gentle and loving kiss on her forehead just as she fell into his embrace.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Pei Ge’s cheeks flushed red and when Ji Ziming saw her blush, his lips involuntarily curled up. Thinking about the night with Pei Ge later, his smile became even more obvious.
“Let’s go.”
He held her hand tightly as they walked into the company.
The moment they entered the elevator, Pei Ge hurriedly asked, “What about Ji Miao?”
“Ji Miao committed a crime, and she deserved it. Who can help her? Even Sire Nine and I, Ji Ziming, can’t help her. Those who committed a mistake must receive their own punishment. It’s not that I don’t want to do Sire Nine a favor, but do you know what the meaning is other than prison?”
She looked at him and realized that he had already considered everything she had not considered.
“I don’t know. I just feel that there must be someone behind Ji Miao, but I don’t have a clue. I haven’t even found the mastermind.”
“It’s okay. With me around, I will help you find out. As for Ji Miao, if she is not in prison, your company’s secrets might not be safe.”
Ji Ziming said to the point.
“Oh, right. On the second day after Ji Miao went to prison, someone came to deliver something to me. It’s the confidential document, but only a part of it. I suspect that the person is Ji Miao. I originally wanted to go to the prison to talk to her, but something cropped up and I didn’t go.”
“You said there are confidential documents, were they delivered to you?”
Ji Ziming’s eyes darkened and the smile on his face disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with coldness and distance.
“No, it’s directly on my desk. I’ve checked and found out that someone walked into my office at night when most people were off work. However, I didn’t find anything similar in the company.”
Pei Ge voiced out her doubts but knew that this person was likely Ji Miao.
“It’s good that you’ve returned it. The confidential document is the company’s life. Without it, no matter how much money your company has, it won’t be of any use. As for the other half, we don’t have to be anxious. As long as the confidential document hasn’t been completely leaked, it means that there’s a chance for things to change. As for the person who obtained the top part of the confidential document or the bottom part, it’s very likely that he will attack Ji Miao. If Ji Miao refuses to say anything, I’m afraid that Ji Miao...”
Pei Ge had a bad feeling as she tugged at Ji Ziming’s sleeve. “Ziming, quickly make a call and send more people to protect Ji Miao. I’m worried that something might really happen to her in prison.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll call He Yun when I get to my office.”
Ji Ziming’s eyes darkened as he looked at Pei Ge, feeling touched.
“I’m here, don’t be afraid.”
“Yes, I believe you.”
Pei Ge held Ji Ziming’s hand and felt safe in it. The deep comfort in her heart followed Ji Ziming to the most comfortable path.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened. Before Ji Ziming could enter his office, his phone rang. It was an emergency call from He Yun.
“CEO, Ji Miao committed suicide in prison.”
“Suicide?”
Ji Ziming’s eyes narrowed. Before he could tell He Yun to protect Ji Miao, news of Ji Miao committing suicide came from the prison.
Pei Ge, who was standing beside Ji Ziming, heard the two words from Ji Ziming and stood rooted to the spot. She seemed to recall the time when she caught Ji Miao at the train station in City H and heard her say thank you and sorry.
It seemed like yesterday. In the blink of an eye, this girl who had apologized and thanked her ended her life in the most foolish way possible.
“Yes, CEO. The doctor came to take a look just now and it was already too late to save her.”
He Yun’s voice was filled with sorrow. Although Ji Ziming did not ask him to protect Ji Miao, he understood Ji Ziming’s thoughts. The reason why he did not get rid of Ji Miao on the spot must be because she had other uses. However, when he arrived at the hospital today, the prison guards came to tell him that Ji Miao was dead.
“And the cause of death?”
Ji Ziming’s eyes were terrifyingly cold, like a wolf shining at its prey in the dark.
“She slit her wrist. CEO, this is my fault. Please punish me.”
