He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

Zhao Man was puzzled. Since childhood, Song Zhi's attitude towards her son had been neither close nor affectionate. She thought the two had a distant relationship, but she never expected that her son would be so dependent on Song Zhi.

"You went to the police station?"

Zhao Man spoke again, her tone no longer sharp and harsh as before, but with more probing and worry.

Song Zhi responded, "Yes, Jia Chen hit the Zhou family's youngest son, and they firmly refuse to mediate privately. That's the complicated situation. You should think about what to do."

Upon hearing Song Zhi's words, Zhao Man instantly exploded like a lit firecracker, her voice sharp as she questioned, "You're telling me to handle this? Aren't you going to take care of your brother?"

Song Zhi lowered her eyes and sighed helplessly.

Song Zhi is still not used to Zhao Man's unreasonable behavior.

She said indifferently, "What can I do about it? Do you think I can just decide to do this? I've already told you everything. He's your son. You decide how to handle it. If you really don't care, Jia Chen will face imprisonment. Don't blame me for not warning you then."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Song Zhi leaned back in her chair, looking exhausted, and rubbed her temples in frustration.

Suddenly, voices came from the doorway, and Song Zhi turned her head.

Then I saw Xiao Wan chatting and laughing with the man beside her.

Song Zhi didn't speak, silently averting her gaze and trying to minimize her presence.

As soon as the man entered the office, he began to look around the environment, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He took Xiao Wan's hand and asked curiously, "Baby, is this the company you started?"

Xiao Wan nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I'll show you around."

As the two were talking, Xiao Wan caught sight of Song Zhi and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Huh? Didn't you say you had something to do and needed to ask for leave? Why are you still at the company?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi felt a strange, inexplicable feeling well up inside her. She couldn't help but frown and ask in confusion, "A request for leave? When did I say I wanted to ask for leave?"

Xiao Wan spoke up as if it were a matter of course: "Didn't you say at noon that you had something to do and wouldn't be at the company?"

Before Song Zhi could finish speaking, the man beside her asked, "Is this an employee of your company?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Xiao Wan's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

She nodded: "Yes, let me introduce you. This is Song Zhi, who is in charge of..." Xiao Wan paused for a moment, then continued: "...in charge of the market."

After saying that, he introduced Song Zhi: "Zhizhi, Jiang Huai, this is my boyfriend."

Before Song Zhi could speak, Jiang Huai said first, "Baby, I didn't expect your company to have such good humanistic care."

Song Zhi's lips twitched, her face speechless.

She suspected that Xiao Wan had a knack for attracting bad luck.

Who are these people?

It also shows humanistic care.

Not only was Song Zhi bewildered, but Xiao Wan was also somewhat confused.

What kind of humanistic care?

Seeing Xiao Wan's bewildered expression, Jiang Huai affectionately pinched her cheek and explained with a smile, "It's just introducing myself to the employees."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wan glanced at Song Zhi somewhat awkwardly.

Just as Song Zhi was about to speak, she saw Xiao Wan wink at her.

Having known Xiao Wan for so long, how could she not know what Xiao Wan meant?

Forget it.

Anyway, she won't be staying here for long, so let her be happy.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Song Zhi's face, and she slowly said, "President Xiao, you also said that I have taken leave, so can I leave work now?"

Xiao Wan was stunned upon hearing this.

She hadn't expected Song Zhi to use such a distant tone and address her.

Is Song Zhi angry?

Because of her boyfriend?

Before Xiao Wan could come up with a solution, Jiang Huai suddenly interjected, "Oh dear, baby, she's already asked for leave, just let her go, don't make things difficult for her."

After saying that, he leaned close to Xiao Wan's ear and whispered a few words in a very intimate manner.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wan's originally fair cheeks instantly flushed slightly. She waved her hand hastily and stammered, "Um... Song Zhi, you... you should leave first."

Her voice revealed a hint of shyness.

Upon seeing this, Song Zhi's lips curled up slightly, but she didn't say anything. She picked up her bag, stood up, and turned to leave the office without hesitation.

Sitting in the car, Song Zhi was extremely irritable.

She was about to drive back to her small apartment when her phone suddenly beeped with a text message notification.

Song Zhi glanced at the screen; it was a message from Xiao Wan explaining Jiang Huai's situation.

Song Zhi didn't even bother to read the rest of the content; she simply tossed her phone aside and ignored it.

She drove her car out of the garage when suddenly a figure appeared out of nowhere and blocked the front of the car.

Song Zhi was startled and slammed on the brakes, but fortunately, she stopped just one meter away from the other party.

Song Zhi was a little annoyed and was about to curse when she froze when she saw the person standing in front of the car.

Chi Ye.

What is he doing here?

Is he still not giving up on Xiao Wan?

Song Zhi rolled down the car window, leaned out, and stared intently at Chi Ye. She said irritably, "Are you out of your mind? You just rushed out like that. Do you know how dangerous that is?"

Chi Ye's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water. He rushed to the car and stared at Song Zhi with his sinister gaze, as if he wanted to devour her alive.

"You were the one who encouraged my sister to break up with me, weren't you?"

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses.

"What does your breakup have to do with me?"

"You still dare to deny it? My sister told me everything. It was you who instigated her."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi felt as if there was something wrong with her ears. She asked incredulously, "You're saying that Xiao Wan told you that I encouraged her to break up with you?"

"Isn't that right? My sister and I were doing just fine. If you hadn't been the one causing trouble, why would she have broken up with me so decisively?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi was so angry that he was practically fuming.

She never expected Xiao Wan to be this kind of person, to stab her in the back.

Looking at Chi Ye's sinister eyes, Song Zhi felt a tightness in her heart, afraid of angering him. She had no choice but to soften her tone and say, "Are you misunderstanding something? I really didn't encourage you to break up."

Chi Ye didn't believe her nonsense. After all, Xiao Wan had taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms, so how could she break up with him so easily?

All of this must have been Song Zhi's doing.

Thinking of this, his gaze towards Song Zhi instantly turned fierce. He suddenly reached into the car, grabbed Song Zhi's hair, and pulled hard.

The sharp pain in her scalp made Song Zhi scream out loud, and she instinctively leaned her head against the car window.

"Ikeno, let me go!"

Song Zhi reached out and grabbed Chi Ye's hand tightly, trying to pry it open.

However, Ikeno's hand gripped her hair tightly like an iron clamp, refusing to let go.

His expression was twisted and ferocious, and he spoke in a sinister voice like a demon: "You bitch, if you hadn't been stirring things up behind my back, how could my sister have broken up with me, and how could I have ended up with this mountain of debt!"
