A cool night .

After a busy day at work, it was already late into the night when Pei Ge returned to her apartment .

Bang!

She closed the door and turned on the light in the living room .

In an instant, the dark room was flooded with light .

She spaced out for a moment as she stared at this minimalist but luxurious apartment .

She was no longer in the capital .

Did that annoying fellow return to the country? Did he realize that she was gone?

It had been three days since she came to this branch company in Tianjin .

In these three days, she had been busy with things inside and outside of work .

Right now, she was about to complete sorting out the situation here .

The branch company here was Ji Group’s way of testing the waters on the property market .

Because of the bad management deployed here, coupled with the parasites in it, this subsidiary branch had made a couple of incorrect big investments .

Unfinished construction projects, mishandled funds, corporate espionages, bad logistics, lax security, et cetera had led this once promising company to the brink of bankruptcy .

She smiled bitterly at this thought .

Ji Ziming’s dad had really given her a tough nut to crack .

Handing such a big mess to her, a rookie who had only ever held an assistant position, she was unsure whether he just did not like her and wanted her to break up with Ji Ziming or thought highly of her enough to entrust such a mission to her…

As the executive general manager of the planning department, she felt nothing but pressure .

“Sigh… Thankfully, I’m not really that annoying fellow’s girlfriend, or else his dad will drive me crazy . ” She pouted a little as she walked out to the balcony and looked at the stars in the sky .

Still, his real girlfriend must be very happy… since he’s so protective of her…

The weather was good today, so a handful of bright stars could be seen in the night sky .

What is that annoying fellow doing?

While she was staring at the night sky from her balcony, in the capital, which was 200 kilometers away from Tianjin, a certain CEO was also staring at the night sky from the glass window of a building .

Knock, knock, knock!

A series of door knocks suddenly broke the silence in the office .

“Come in,” he said coldly, narrowing his eyes .

The person knocking on the door only entered when he heard his command .

It was none other his assistant, Du Wen .

“CEO Ji, I haven’t found Miss Pei’s whereabouts,”

He reported this to his boss the moment he entered the room .

When he heard this, Ji Ziming, whose back was on his assistant, frowned and turned to direct his sharp gaze at his subordinate .

Immediately, a nerve-racking tension could be felt in the quiet office .

“Haven’t found…” he mumbled coldly .

“Yes, your father’s actions were overly covert . He has wiped all traces of Miss Pei, so our people haven’t discovered anything yet,” his assistant affirmed respectfully; his voice was shaking a little, seemingly cowed by the man’s cold aura .

“CEO Ji, it’s my fault this time . I didn’t keep an eye on Li Qi enough . If he just reported Miss Pei’s situation on time, she would not disappear without our notice . ”

He sincerely apologized .

“… You can go out now . ” He was uninterested in his subordinate’s apology; currently, he only felt frustration .

“Yes . ”

Du Wen, who had been this CEO’s assistant for years, could tell his boss’s mood, so he quickly departed from his office .

With his assistant’s departure, the man was once again alone in the big office .

“D*mn it…” he cussed, clenching his fists .

You stupid woman, where did you go? Why… did you leave without a word to me…

He pursed his lips into a tight line .

He did not expect that, upon his return from the business trip abroad, he would not find Pei Ge in their shared dwelling .

A lot of things were missing in her room, but only when he could not see her beloved fat cat did he realize that she had left him .

Just like that, she was gone from his life suddenly…

“D*mn it!” This thought hollowed a part of his heart and made him feel an ache .

“You stupid woman, where did you go…”

He continued to mutter, a pained look fleeting across his face .

Very quickly, though, he returned to normal .

He frowned slightly, grabbed his car keys from the desk, and left the office .

He sped on the road back to the huge villa his family owned .

“Young master, welcome home . ”

His unannounced arrival at the family villa surprised the people residing there .

Especially his mother, she thought she was dreaming when she learned of his return .

“Ming Ming, why didn’t you tell mom that you’re coming over today? Have you had dinner yet?” she asked happily, gazing gently at him in her pajamas .

“Where’s dad?” he asked with a straight face, his voice ever cold .

“Your dad? He’s busy working in the study . Don’t you know him? He’s always…”

Before her reply could end, the man took big strides toward the study room upstairs .

“Eh? Ming Ming, what are you doing? This child, mom’s not done talking yet…”

Seeing him directly make his way up the stairs toward the study, she got a bad feeling . No matter how she looked at it, she felt that her son was back to seek vengeance .

“Ming Ming! Ming Ming…”

Amid her calls, he entered his father’s study with a somber face without knocking .

“Where did you send Pei Ge?” he asked at once .

The expression on his face did not have any effect on his father, though .

“Where did your manners go? Don’t you know how to knock before entering a room?” His father retorted calmly without taking his eyes off the documents on his desk .

“Where is she?!” He stared straight at his father, his fists clenched, frustration evident in his voice .

“Go out . Knock before you enter . ” Lifting his head, Father Ji frowned at the way his son shouted at him .

Ji Ziming pursed his lips tightly as he went out to knock on the door under his father’s cold stare .

Knock, knock, knock!

“Hmph! Come in!” His father snorted coldly .

“Pei Ge, where is she?” he asked, his question still about her .

“Heh! I think you’ve lost your mind over a woman!”
