Hearing the sound of the call being hung up, he could only prepare to leave and make his way to the Qiao family himself .
Nonetheless, he knew deep down that, even if he visited the family, he would be unable to meet that woman .
In his eyes, Qiao Jingyun was a very cautious person . If she truly wanted to escape, she would definitely not let herself be caught .
However, even if he had already predicted this, he still had to make his way down .
He got in his car and drove to the Qiao house .
Soon, he arrived outside their villa .
Taking a look at the grand villa with its garden, he then expressionlessly made his way up a plight the stairs and knocked on the door .
“Who is it?” A young and comely housekeeper opened the door . “May I ask who this sir is looking for?”
The housekeeper smiled at him inquiringly in a sweet voice .
Sensing the housekeeper’s scheming gaze, the secretary coldly nudged his lips .
The Qiao family is truly the case of a crooked stick having a crooked shadow .
Even a mere housekeeper doesn’t know her place .

“I’m looking for Qiao Jingyun . ”
“Ah, our mistress isn’t home . ”
“Then, who else is at home?”
“Our young master and master are home!”
Her way of addressing the residents of this villa made his lips curl up in ridicule .
This family truly knows how to boost their ego .
“Fine . I’ll meet your young master and master . ”
After saying this mockingly, he stepped into the villa .
While he arrived here, Pei Shishi, who had been chased out of the Ji Group headquarters, also managed to contact Qiao Jingyun, whose hiding place nobody could find .
“Didn’t you promise me that nothing would happen to my mom?! Now, she’s been brought to the police by Ji Ziming! Soon, she’ll be sentenced for her crime! That man is sure not to let her off!”
After dialing the woman’s private number, she told her everything that had happened recently .
“What should I do now?! You can’t just watch without doing anything! You said you’ll help me!”

However, even after speaking for so long, the woman on the other end remained silent .
“Speak! Don’t play dead with me! If anything happens to my mom, I definitely won’t let you off!”
Shortly after she had threatened her, the latter finally made a sound .
“Heh!”
A sarcastic and mocking laughter escaped from her lips .
This laughter caused the other to feel infuriated .
“What are you laughing at?!”
“Ha ha! I am laughing at you . Why are you so dumb? You won’t let me off, huh? What do you have not to let me off? What a joke . ”
From her tone of voice, it was clear that her life had been tough recently . Her voice was very low and hoarse, as though she had come down with fever .
“Don’t forget; it’s your scheme that caused that man and my cousin to be like this now! Tell me; if he learns about this, what do you think he’ll do to you?”
She narrowed her eyes, feeling emboldened as she stared at the dark scenery outside .
She knew from the start what kind of person the woman was; hence, when she helped her, she left behind some evidence .

“Now that he’s gone crazy over my cousin, once he learns that you’re behind his and Pei Ge’s breakup, do you think he’ll be capable of forgiving you?”
The man had truly gone crazy .
She did not expect him to become this terrifying in the absence of her cousin .
Her poor mother was locked up by that crazed man .
If… her mother truly ended up in prison, she might die in his hands .
Even now, she could still recall the man’s crazy and cruel actions that day .
The moment she saw his frightening side, she no longer held any more love for him .
Other than fear, she had no other feelings for him .
“I know that you have many tricks up your sleeve, so help me this time…”
She knew that the woman on the other end was not a reliable person, but other than her, she truly had no one else to look for help .
“Pei Shishi, do you think I’m a deity? Even you said that he has gone crazy, so do you think I still have any methods left? He’s a man who even wants to kill his child . ” Despite her pleading, the woman’s attitude toward her continued to be laced with mockery .
“You’re so clever, so you must have a way; plus, aren’t you his benefactor…”
She did not give up, though, and continued to insist .
“Ha ha! Should I call you dumb or what? Now, even if you find a deity, you still won’t be able to save your mom . ” Qiao Jingyun slowly became irritated . “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up . Don’t come looking for me next time…”
Just as she was about to hang up, she heard a familiar voice on the phone .
[…Just do as I say . Ji Ziming and Pei Ge will definitely…]
She did not panic at all when she heard this familiar voice—her voice, in fact .
“Yo . You actually had some improvement . ”
“If… you don’t help me get my mom out, I’ll pass all the recordings of our conversations to that man! I believe that he’ll definitely be interested in this,” calmly threatened the other .
Unexpectedly, she did not take the bait .
“If you want to pass it to him, go ahead, but I should warn you in advance… to prepare for the consequences . ”
With that, she did not care about the other’s reaction and directly hung up .
Hearing the busy tone from the phone, Pei Shishi suddenly had a foreboding…
