âMs. Jing Tong.â Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow.
Jing Tong grabbed Ye Shenggeâs hand and shook it. âYour acting skills are amazing. I like you a lot!â
Ye Shengge was wondering who the girl was, but she suddenly realized something.
âSo itâs you! I was able to get out of the detention center thanks to you.â Ye Shengge smiled gratefully.
The girl in front of him didnât look old. She had a sweet baby face and clear eyes. It was obvious that she grew up with a family that pampered her.
âDonât thank me. Thank Ji Shiting! This is our deal.â Jing Tong stuck her tongue out and looked at Ji Shiting. âWhen are you going to fulfill your promise?â
âWhen you return to Beijing,â Ji Shiting said calmly. âAfter all, everyone you know is there. The plan needs to be carried out in Beijing to achieve the best results.â
Jing Tong rolled her eyes and said, âOkay, Iâll wait a bit longer. Donât think Iâm easy to fool!â
âOf course. I wouldnât dare fool you, Ms. Jing.â Ji Shiting smiled.
âThatâs more like it.â Jing Tong clapped her hands. âAre you here to ask about the progress of the case? Let me tell you. Jiang Yu found a new lead a few days ago, and itâs all thanks to me! Donât worry, Iâll continue to help him until we catch the real culprit!â
âReally? Thank you.â Ji Shiting sounded sincere, but he was just being perfunctory.
Jing Tong didnât hear it, but Ye Shengge did. She couldnât help glancing at the man beside her.
âDonât mention it! Jiang Yu is useless!â Jing Tong said smugly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ji Shiting smiled and said, âIâll head back with Shengge first. Iâll fulfill my promise when you return to Beijing.â
âOkay. Goodbye,â Jing Tong said with a smile and walked past them to go to the office.
Ye Shengge was wondering what Ji Shiting had agreed to when she heard Jiang Yuâs calm voice.
âHow dare you ask Ji Shiting to marry you after seeing them?â
âNone of your business!â Jing Tong answered.
Ye Shengge froze.
Ji Shiting felt her stiffen, so he turned to her and said, âMarrying me is obviously something she said to agitate her sweetheart. You wonât believe it, will you?â
Ye Shengge lowered her head in shame.
Ji Shiting hugged her tighter and smiled. âLetâs go.â
After getting into the car, Ye Shengge leaned against the manâs chest, feeling rather upset.
She had asked him more than once what price he had paid to take her out of the detention center, but he always played it down as if it was a trivial matter.
âDid he have something to do with the murderer being caught today? What had he paid for it?â
However, she didnât say anything because she knew that the man wouldnât tell her the real answer. He didnât want her to feel guilty.
If she kept probing, she would let him down.
Thus, she buried those doubts deep in her heart.
âAre you happy?â
Ji Shiting seemed to notice her change in mood and stroked her hair.
Ye Shengge calmed herself down, smiled at him and nodded.
The man stared at her shining eyes and smiled. âYou might be happier if I take you to another place.â
