At this point, Mi Nuo started to drop strong hints, “Furthermore, I’ve handed over the clothes meant for Mr. Si’s female companion to him, but Mr. Si hasn’t given them to Mrs. Si yet. Also… I tactfully asked if the measurements can be altered so that they’d fit yours. He actually agreed to that. Do you think that… you’ll be Mr. Si’s female companion tonight?”

At the Imperial Group’s office on the top floor…
Ji Chen stood before Si Zhengting respectfully. He watched as Si Zhengting held the USB flash drive, the latter’s head lowered as he studied it for a long while.
Ji Chen’s heart was racing. He was really curious. What would Madam’s design drafts look like?
But after Si Zhengting studied the USB flash drive for a while, he put it aside.
So what if her design drafts were perfect?
Si Guangsong would not let her off.
Si Zhengting lowered his eyes, asking coldly, “How are matters going with Si Guangsong?”
Ji Chen lowered his voice. “Sir, everything is under control.”
Si Zhengting nodded, then asked, “Has the dress been sent over?”
Ji Chen was stunned. Then, he suddenly understood what Si Zhengting was talking about and hurriedly replied, “I’ll do it now.”
Once Ji Chen left the office, Si Zhengting was in contemplation for a moment in the office, his gaze fixed on the design drafts. Then, he picked up his cell phone and called s.h.i.+ Jinyan.
s.h.i.+ Jinyan quickly picked up. Si Zhengting could hear the buzzing of the helicopter in the background, and his heartbeat quickened. “Have you found them?”
s.h.i.+ Jinyan replied, “I’ve received their signal requesting for help. The helicopter’s rus.h.i.+ng over now. There shouldn’t be any mistakes this time. It should arrive after four hours.”
After he heard this, Si Zhengting could finally breathe freely.
He let out a sigh of relief. s.h.i.+ Jinyan continued, “Zhengting, once I meet her, I’ll force her to return. It’s… too dangerous outside.”
Although his words seemed inconclusive, his tone made it clear that he had no doubt that it was dangerous.
s.h.i.+ Jinyan was from a humble background in the country and had wedded a lady from the city. He was also a righteous man who was capable and skilled. He would never feel insecure in front of Si Zhengting just because of his humble beginnings.
He had relied on his own hard work to get to where he was today — opening his own company.
Si Zhengting appreciated this person. He blinked, then murmured an agreement.
Si Zhengting had never used to keep tabs on Si Jingyu, as he thought that she could protect herself no matter where she was. However, this matter had scared Si Zhengting. Every time he thought about it, he would feel scared.

Zhuang Nainai lowered her head as she walked.
She wasn’t a detective. So it was difficult for her to look for proof to prove her own innocence.
But she wasn’t going to leave. She would make a gamble instead… She was gambling on how she still meant something to him. She was gambling on the relations.h.i.+p that they had had five years ago, which caused him to still have some feelings for her in this marriage.
Zhuang Nainai stopped in her tracks.
She knew that she shouldn’t be so willful for Mother Zhuang’s sake. However, she really wanted to be willful, just this once.
For the five years of her youth, for the love and the marriage that she was about to lose, she wanted to be willful just this once.
Zhuang Nainai hardened her resolve and continued taking a step forward, one at a time.
Zhuang Nainai returned to her work station and saw Ji Chen holding a dress whilst walking over.
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes lit up suddenly.
Before the matter regarding the design drafts had blown up, Zhuang Nainai’s relations.h.i.+p with Zhang Tingting of the fas.h.i.+on design department was reasonably good. Thus, Zhang Tingting had once shown her Si Zhengting’s female companion’s dress for the night of the event.
