“There is only one way to completely remove Qian Guanshu and Yi Wenhan from history’s stage!”

In the room, Ji Baijian’s voice carried a cold undertone.

Song Zhizhi stared at him earnestly.

“Qian Guanshu’s usurpation.” Ji Baijian stated bluntly.

Song Zhizhi vigorously nodded.

Ji Baijian said, “If it becomes known that Yi Wenhan is not the son of Ye Taiting, the public would then have reason to believe that Qian Guanshu plotted against Ye Taiting and supported his son to take the succession seat!”

“But, is it easy to reveal?”

“Not easy. Since we’ve startled the snake with our maneuvers, it’s hard to find an opportunity to expose the truth, especially now they’re on the alert.”

Song Zhizhit bit her lips.

It was all her fault.

Ji Baijian seemed to sense Song Zhizhi’s distress, he said, “Madam, you need not blame yourself too much.”

How could she not blame herself?

Though she doesn’t regret her decision, she despised herself for causing Ji Baijian to lose such a lucrative opportunity.

Ji Baijian said, “Although it’s not easy, it’s not impossible. Qian Guanshu’s top priority now is to solidify Yi Wenhan’s identity and secure for him the position of successor. Aware of the severe threat we pose, he won’t dare to act rashly. Ye Taiting never dared to commit serious offenses in Jin City, and I believe Qian Guanshu won’t either. Killing us would not be easy for him, and after our game of cat and mouse this time, I believe he wouldn’t resort to brute force. He’s afraid of being burned.”

“So, you think Qian Guanshu will now take other measures against us?”

“Yes,” Ji Baijian said, “I’m waiting for his move.”

“Hmm?” Song Zhizhi frowned, “Do you want to catch him in the act?”

“That’s not impossible.” Ji Baijian gave an affirmative answer, “I was hesitant to expose Ye Taiting’s scandals because I care about the reputation that Commercial Management has built in the hearts of Yanshang Country’s people over the years. I didn’t want Ye Taiting to tarnish everything in the Ye Family. But for Qian Guanshu, I need not hesitate. He is nothing more than a power usurper. The worse his reputation, the better!”

Song Zhizhi nodded, acknowledging her husband’s brilliance.

It seemed as though, no matter the size of the problem, he could always think clearly.

“So, we need to wait for the right time and play the long game! I believe that no matter how much Qian Guanshu now wants to stabilize the situation, I pose too much of a threat. So, things should come to a head soon. I’ll wait for them to fall into their own trap.”

Song Zhizhi nodded in agreement.

“Madam.” Suddenly, Ji Baijian called her.

“Yes,” Song Zhizhi answered seriously.

She let him miss the opportunity this time; next time, she would make sure he gets it back!

“From now on, I might not be this innocent.” Ji Baijian expressed bluntly.

“You’re going to mess around in relationships?”

The corner of Ji Baijian’s mouth quivered slightly.

Song Zhizhi grinned, “I know you won’t.”

“What I mean is, I may get involved in many… not just Commercial Management, but also many political interests. When that happens, there are things I might not want to, but have to do. Whatever I promised you, I will try my best to keep,” he confessed.

“Ji Baijian.” Song Zhizhi threw herself into his arms, “No matter what you do, no matter how you end up, in my heart, Ji Baijian… No! Ye Shengheng is my husband for life. Nothing can change that!”

“Madam, I love you very much.” He said.

Damn it, at such a serious moment, did he have to be so mushy and sentimental?

Overwhelmed, Song Zhizhi pecked his lips.

Ji Baijian’s dark eyes met hers, his magnetic voice murmuring, “Madam, do you like the sofa?”

“Huh?”

Ji Baijian asked, “Do you like it?”

She doused his hope, “No.”

The phone suddenly rang.

Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi just stared at each other in shock.

Sometimes these ill-timed phone calls were really annoying.

Ji Baijian reached out and picked up the phone.

At that moment, Song Zhizhi was sure it was Yin Qin.

Yin Qin loved to create such scenes, especially since he didn’t get to ride their car from the memorial service. Undoubtedly, he was looking for an excuse to see Ji Baijian.

That’s what she thought.

Suddenly she heard Ji Baijian shout, “Dad.”

Song Zhizhi was taken aback.

In that moment, she felt she’d unjustly blamed Yin Qin.

She listened as Ji Baijian said, “Okay, I’ll come back right away.”

Ji Baijian hung up.

Song Zhizhi looked at him, “Your dad called for you.”

“Commercial Management has a new recruit; my father wants me to discuss it.”

“Are you going now?”

Ji Baijian nodded.

“Then let’s go.” Song Zhizhi stood up.

Ji Baijian pulled her back down.

Song Zhizhi stared at him.

“Madam, you should get dressed.” Ji Baijian was serious.

Song Zhizhi lowered her head.

Intensely serious, Ji Baijian said, “Madam, please maintain your dignity.”

Who the hell made her like this!

Bastard.

Song Zhizhi quickly got dressed.

Ji Baijian, too, had arranged himself at this moment.

The two hand in hand left the house.

“Should we call Xiaolang along?”

“No need, let her rest at home. For now, Qian Guanshu won’t do anything in Jin City.”

“Hmm.”

Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian left directly, truly wanting to give Luo Xiaolang a break.

Luo Xiaolang was indeed resting at home, conserving her energy. If there was no need, she really didn’t like to go out.

But what is happening now.

She stared blankly at Yin Qin.

Looking at Yin Qin who showed up at her front door.

She is still very sleepy now.

She didn’t know when it started, but she increasingly liked to sleep.

Maybe, she was just bored.

So when she had nothing to do, she would just pass the time by sleeping.

At that moment, without thinking, she shut the door right on him.

She didn’t want to see Yin Qin.

She always felt that nothing good ever came when he showed up.

Yin Qin seemed to have known that Luo Xiaolang would shut him out, so he immediately used his hand to stop her door from closing, “What’s this, you kissed me and now you want to evade responsibility?”

Luo Xiaolang didn’t want to entertain him.

She didn’t resist the door anymore either. Turning around, she rubbed her messy short hair and went back to her bed.

Yin Qin smiled triumphantly.

For some reason, he felt that bullying Luo Xiaolang was a fun thing to do.

He entered Luo Xiaolang’s room and saw her lying on the bed in a very unladylike manner.

After Luo Xiaolang made a pass at him that night, he hadn’t been able to sleep for a long time even though he was drunk and uncomfortable. His mind was full of Luo Xiaolang kissing him. He even said that he was her man!

Okay then.

He admitted that, in the end, he didn’t have feelings for Luo Xiaolang either.

He just thought this chick was so domineering.

Thinking about all the rejections he had suffered in front of Ji Baixin, he could finally let out his frustrations.

He could finally make it clear to Ji Baixin that he, Yin Qin, was definitely not unwanted.

There were plenty of people who liked him, Yin Qin.

Of course.

He didn’t think Luo Xiaolang liked him either. Luo Xiaolang was only standing up for him, the woman was always so righteous!

Looking at Luo Xiaolang’s sleeping pose right now, she was sleeping so ungracefully. How could she lie like this in front of someone she liked? At this moment, he could affirm that Luo Xiaolang had no feelings for him.

It’s a good thing she has no feelings for him.

He would never be with Luo Xiaolang.

Even if Ji Baixin wasn’t in the picture, he would find a pretty, gentle, knowledgeable, cultured, virtuous woman to marry. He would have to be crazy to choose a violent maniac, not even knowing when he might be beaten to death.

With these thoughts in mind, he climbed onto Luo Xiaolang’s bed, knelt next to her, lifted her blanket, “Little Wolf, accompany brother out for some fun.”

“Not going.”

“Brother will buy you something tasty.”

“I’m vegetarian.”

“Brother will buy you beautiful clothes.”

“I’m not interested.”

“Brother Xiaolang…”

“What on earth do you want to do?!” Luo Xiaolang sat up huffily from her bed.

Yin Qin tried to ingratiate himself, “There’s something I need your help with.”

Luo Xiaolang frowned.

“It’s really important.”

Luo Xiaolang stared directly at him.

“Get up.” Yin Qin tried to pull her off the bed.

Luo Xiaolang resisted.

Yin Qin was yanked directly onto Luo Xiaolang’s bed.

At that moment, Luo Xiaolang reflexively immobilized the man beneath her with a display of force.
