The bedroom door was pushed open.

Song Zhizhi hid motionless inside the wardrobe.

She could hear footsteps in the room, which made her heart beat faster.

Gradually, the footsteps stopped.

Song Zhizhi had no idea if the person outside had left or not.

She didn’t dare to step out casually either.

Things remained this way for at least ten minutes.

Song Zhizhi cautiously pushed the wardrobe door open.

Just as she stepped out…

“I guessed you might come back.” A voice startled Song Zhizhi, nearly scaring her out of her wits.

She turned her head abruptly and saw Jun Mingyu.

Jun Mingyu was smiling at the moment, as refined as ever.

Song Zhizhi glared at him.

Jun Mingyu said, “I heard that the entire police force of Nanyun City is looking for you. I figured, with your ingenuity, you wouldn’t risk leaving at this point, so I surmised you might come back. And indeed, you are even smarter than I thought.”

“Mr. Jun is flattering me,” Song Zhizhi replied with a smile. “If I were smarter, you wouldn’t have discovered my moves.”

“You’re not less smart, just as smart as I am,” Jun Mingyu said seriously.

Song Zhizhi bit her lip.

Was he complimenting her indirectly?!

“So, advise Ji Baijian when you have time. Tell him to work with me, I’m not stupid.”

Was this the right time to talk about this?

“What are you planning to do now?” Jun Mingyu’s tone changed, becoming much more solemn.

She said, “Wait for you to take me home.”

“Pardon?” Jun Mingyu furrowed his brows.

“Tomorrow is the celebration banquet, aren’t you leaving after it’s over?”

“Of course, I’ll leave. But aren’t you afraid I’ll turn you in?” Jun Mingyu asked, “The person who could mobilize such a massive official force to search for you in an instant is obviously not an ordinary person. Why wouldn’t I hand you over to win his favor?”

“In this world, there are only two people Mr. Jun needs to please, but as far as I know, neither of those two people are ones you can please! In fact, if you hand me over now, the other party might think you’re playing games, resulting in a loss rather than a gain!” Song Zhizhi bluntly stated.

“So you’re convinced that following me is safe, right.”

“I trust Ji Baijian.” Song Zhizhi was straightforward.

She believed he wouldn’t put her in danger!

“I used not to understand why Ji Baijian was captivated by you. But thinking about it now, I somewhat get it. You are intelligent, calm under pressure, attractive, have a good figure, and most importantly, you care deeply for him. If I were in his shoes, I suspect I would fall for you too.” Jun Mingyu admitted.

Song Zhizhi frowned.

Jun Mingyu instantly reverted to being serious, “Indeed, I can’t please the two specific people I had in mind, any attempts would only make them suspicious of me. But Ms. Song, you got it wrong, it’s not just those two I need to please, Ji Baijian is included too.”

Song Zhizhi looked at him.

“So I’ll help you.” Jun Mingyu stated, “You stay here temporarily. You must be aware that there must be a mole in the project, the moment you’re found out, you’ll be in danger. I’ll come and pick you up after the celebration banquet is over.”

“Thank you.”

“You should thank yourself,” Jun Mingyu laughed.

Song Zhizhi frowned.

“If you weren’t so smart, no one could have helped you.”

Having said that, Jun Mingyu left.

Song Zhizhi watched Jun Mingyu’s retreating back.

The two of them had been spending time together recently, but they both had deep reservations about each other. Unless it was of critical importance, they would absolutely not reveal their true selves.

But at this moment, she truly felt that Jun Mingyu was not a simple character!

Perhaps…

He might be the next one in power!

The Ye Family’s villa.

Qian Guanshu’s face was livid.

He spoke loudly, “This is your assurance that Song Zhizhi would certainly leave by long-distance bus!”

Ye Wenhan didn’t dare to utter a single word.

In theory…

Song Zhizhi must be on the long-distance bus.

He looked at his father, “Did the other party overlook something, did they fail to find her, should I get them to send out more people and search thoroughly? I am sure that Song Zhizhi must be on the bus back.”

“Enough! Song Zhizhi is just toying with us! Do you know where her mobile phone was found today? In a taxi, and the Nanyun police force had a massive turnout, chasing a taxi around half the city, don’t you think it’s a joke?!” Qian Guanshu said harshly.

“I still feel that Song Zhizhi is definitely on the long-distance bus. Maybe she just disguised herself so that people couldn’t recognize her. She’s so cunning, it must be like that…”

“Stop it! All the buses entering and leaving have been searched thoroughly, do you still want to be humiliated? The other party is very dissatisfied with us right now, if we can’t find Song Zhizhi, I don’t know how I will explain this to them!”

“If I catch Song Zhizhi, I will make her wish she were dead…” Ye Wenhan said menacingly.

Qian Guanshu looked coldly at his son.

All he knew how to do was talk tough but was completely unable to help!

He was furious, and his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller, his face changed.

He hesitated before answering, “Hello.”

“Qian Guanshu, are you trying to kill me? Now everyone knows that the Nanyun police force suddenly deployed all their personnel to search every bus entering or leaving the city. The media are speculating if there is a riot in the Nanyun area. The public is in panic. If they find out that I have abused my power, how am I supposed to explain this?!”

“Song Zhizhi is indeed cunning. I fell for her trick!”

“I don’t want to hear any of your excuses. Now, I can only let the Nanyun City officials use a drill as an excuse to get past this; all the police forces must be withdrawn immediately. No matter what method you use, you must catch Song Zhizhi for me. Otherwise, Qian Guanshu, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

The call abruptly ended.

Looking at his phone, Qian Guanshu’s face grew even grimmer.

Ye Wenhan didn’t dare to breathe.

Qian Guanshu holding his temper, scrolled through the news on his phone. He read about the large-scale police operation in Nanyun, and seeing the source, his face darkened. He snapped at Ye Wenhan, “I told you to win over the Milky Way, what have you been doing?! Now Milky Way reports such news without even letting me know! Can’t you do something more reliable!”

Ye Wenhan’s face turned red. He said, “I did give Wei Cheng a heads up. Who knew he would be so unreliable.”

“What is the point of giving a heads up?” Qian Guanshu was exasperated, “I told you to take control of the Milky Way. I asked you to help Wei Cheng to get the Milky Way. You two have been in touch secretly for so long with no progress. What are you up to!”

Ye Wenhan was left speechless by his father.

Qian Guanshu firmly sat on the sofa, his face looked exceptionally awful.

The space was silent enough to be scary.

Ye Wenhan plucked up his courage and spoke, “Song Zhizhi can’t simply disappear into thin air. Since Dad says Song Zhizhi is not on a long-distance sedan, then she is definitely still in Nanyun City. We just need to monitor all the exits of Nanyun City, we must catch Song Zhizhi.”

Qian Guanshu did not respond.

Ye Wenhan continued, “Can we analyze where Song Zhizhi might go? If she doesn’t leave, she will definitely stay at a hotel. We can check the hotels in Nanyun one by one, we will eventually find her. She thinks she can be safe by hiding in Nanyun and not leaving …”

Qian Guanshu’s face suddenly twitched.

Ye Wenhan looked at his father, not daring to continue, afraid that he might provoke his father.

Qian Guanshu suddenly said, “Song Zhizhi is staying for her safety, and the place we are least likely to think of is Jinghe Village, so she can easily return! For Song Zhizhi, the safest place is there.”

“Right.” Ye Wenhan quickly agreed, “Song Zhizhi is so cunning, she had to have thought about this. She purposely let us search for her in Nanyun City continuously and laughed at us! Dad, what should we do now?”

“Don’t startle the snake by hitting the grass yet, let your informant check whether Song Zhizhi has really returned?”

“Okay, I will arrange it right away.” Ye Wenhan quickly replied.

Qian Guanshu’s face looked grim, he better not catch Song Zhizhi, otherwise, he will let her know what it’s like to wish to be dead than alive!

Jin City Hospital.

Ji Baijian was lying in a bed, in a VIP ward, on a single storey, with tight guard.

Wei Ziming entered with Yan Jin.

Ji Baijian got up from the bed.

Wei Ziming said, “I have just returned from Nanyun, Song Zhizhi asked me to tell you that she is safe and you do not need to worry.”

“Hmm.” Ji Baijian nodded, “Has Song Shan ever asked about Song Zhizhi’s whereabouts?”

“Yes.” Wei Ziming nodded, “I didn’t tell him the specifics.”

“I am now suspecting that Song Shan has dealings with officials. Today Song Shan made a special trip to the hospital to see me, presumably to check whether I am really sick.”

“Yes.” Wei Ziming nodded, not avoiding Ji Baijian’s suspicion, “Song Shan and Song Wen have always been close. And they have a superior, I don’t know who it is, but the person should be very important.”

“Keep an eye on it, if you find out who it is, tell me in time. Now I am worried that Song Shan will disregard Song Zhizhi’s safety in order to grab power.”

“Okay.” Wei Ziming immediately agreed.

“You leave first, the longer you stay the more it might not be a good thing.”

Wei Ziming left directly.

Ji Baijian lay back on the bed.

He asked Yan Jin, “How’s the news?”

“It seems like the results are good. Now there are reports from Nanyun stating that they are conducting an exercise. The police force has been completely evacuated. Nanyun City is back to normal.”

“Hmm.” Ji Baijian responded, “Hand me the phone.”

Yan Jin handed him his phone.

Ji Baijian dialed.

The call was answered, “Ji Baijian.”

“Has Song Zhizhi returned to Jinghe Village?”

“I see you can guess everything.” Jun Mingyu laughed a little.

“Now is the best time for Song Zhizhi to leave, you should find a way to help her return.” Ji Baijian said.

“I was planning to take her with me tomorrow.”

“Now.” Ji Baijian was very certain.

“Why?”

“I can guess, you can guess too? Do you think other people can’t guess?” Ji Baijian retorted.

Jun Mingyu was speechless.

“Sooner or later someone will guess, it’s just a matter of time.”

“Understood.” Jun Mingyu agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Jun Mingyu got up from the project department and went to Song Zhizhi’s residence.

He was sitting in a private sedan and saw a figure secretly observing through the rearview mirror.

He smiled at the corner of his mouth, Ji Baijian’s guess was indeed not wrong.

They really started to suspect.

He told the driver to drive him to his own courtyard house, which was just two houses away from Song Zhizhi. There was a small path leading through the backyard, it was a perfect route.

He quickly walked towards Song Zhizhi’s room and knocked on the door.

Song Zhizhi peeked through the crack in the door and opened it when she saw Jun Mingyu, “I thought you were coming tomorrow?”

“Your husband asked you to leave earlier.” Jun Mingyu said, “By the time you return to Jinghe Village, I estimate that the other party already knows.”

Song Zhizhi’s eyes flickered slightly, “As expected, Qian Guanshu is not simple.”

Without thinking, she was certain he had guessed it.

“So I’m sending you away now. But it is indeed not an easy thing. The inside ‘mole’ here, even my every move is being watched.”

“If you don’t leave, I’ll leave on my own. If you leave now, isn’t that telling everyone that I’m with you?” Song Zhizhi said, “Just cover for me.”

“How?” Jun Mingyu asked.

“Let Ye Wenhan think that I’m still in Jinghe Village, and then I could safely return.” Song Zhizhi said, “Simply, after I leave, you deliberately let Li Sheng see you coming to my place, then he would be assured that I’m still here.”

“Okay.” Jun Mingyu nodded.

“I remember Wang Er’s family sends fish to Nanyun City late every night, I will leave with them.”

“I will arrange for you.”

“Thank you.”

“Song Zhizhi, you have made a fool out of Qian Guanshu, do you think you might drive him to his grave?”

She was certainly not playing around.

“But today’s news made me pretty happy though.”

“What news?” Song Zhizhi asked.

“The matter of Nanyun’s misuse of police power, now the whole country knows. I reckon my brother was also startled” Jun Mingyu laughed, “I’m afraid he will think twice before he issues orders in the future!”
