"I... I have something very important to tell Lu Yibai. No matter how busy he is, he has to make time to see me! Otherwise, he can just wait for Pei Xingzhi to send him to jail!"

Qin Sisi stiffened her neck and threatened Li Su with a fierce expression.

But Li Su smiled dismissively: "Miss Sisi, I know what you want to tell President Lu. This matter is indeed very important, but it's too late to talk about it now. President Lu is barely able to protect himself, how can he have the energy to cooperate with you?"

"...Can't even protect himself?" Qin Sisi's brow twitched, a sudden panic rising within her. "What do you mean? How come Lu Yibai can't even protect himself?"

Li Su did not answer her, but instead asked, "Miss Sisi, do you remember Fang Bo? The Fang Bo from the Pei Group?"

“Fang Bo…” Qin Sisi thought for a moment, then nodded. “I remember him. What happened to him?”

With just one sentence, Li Su made Qin Sisi's face turn pale.

"He is now in Pei Xingzhi's hands."

"...What?" Qin Sisi's voice suddenly lost its strength, becoming as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Li Su sighed: "Fang Bo was taken away by Pei Xingzhi. President Lu has been looking for him for many days but has not found any trace of him. At present, Pei Xingzhi's studio is growing stronger day by day, while Lu's Group is in complete chaos. The senior executives have either run away or jumped ship. There are not many people willing to stay and save the company."

"Fang Bo has too much dirt on President Lu. If we can't find him, even if the current crisis is temporarily resolved, it won't do any good. President Lu has already prepared for the worst. Does Miss Sisi still want to get involved in this mess?"

"..." Qin Sisi stared blankly, her eyes glazed over, her expression empty.

Li Su's words were not complicated, but it took her a long time to barely digest them.

"You...you mean, Pei Xingzhi plans to use Fang Bo to bring down Lu Yibai?" she asked, her face pale.

"Heh..." Li Su sneered, "Isn't that obvious? If you were Pei Xingzhi, and you finally managed to catch Fang Bo, this key witness, wouldn't you use him to bring down President Lu?"

"..."

Qin Sisi didn't speak, but Li Su knew what her answer was.

He glanced at his watch and deliberately said, "Hey, it's getting late, Miss Sisi. Are you still going up to see President Lu?"

"..." Qin Sisi's face was stiff as she mechanically shook her head. "No, I won't look anymore... I won't look anymore..."

Without Li Su asking her to leave, she turned around and hurriedly fled from the Lu Group as soon as she finished speaking.

Li Su watched her swaying figure, a mocking smile curving his lips.

"What kind of true love is it? When disaster strikes, everyone abandons each other."

"How could this happen... How could this happen..."

Qin Sisi dragged her seven-figure bag on the ground and wandered aimlessly through the streets.

Although Yuncheng is a first-tier city, there wasn't a single pedestrian on the streets on such a cold winter night.

In the vast expanse of white sky, only Qin Sisi wandered aimlessly.

"How could this happen... How did Fang Bo get caught by Pei Xingzhi..." She muttered these words unconsciously, her mind starting to wander.

"Wasn't it said that Fang Bo was going to die in Southeast Asia? How did Pei Xingzhi manage to save him? He has so much leverage over him, could it be that Pei Xingzhi has already discovered the bad things I've done?"

She raised a hand that was red from the cold, trembling as she covered her mouth, talking to herself.

"If Pei Xingzhi gets more dirt on me, will he sue me again? The things I did were so outrageous, if the court arrests me, will they drag me away and execute me?"

"Am I going to die?"

She asked herself many questions, and then answered them herself: "No, I shouldn't die. I didn't kill anyone. It was Lu Yibai who killed someone! If anyone should die, it's Lu Yibai!"

"I... what I did was really outrageous, but... but not enough to warrant execution. At most, I'll just get two more years in prison... Yes, at most I'll serve two more years. After that, I'll be back to my old self, all lively and energetic!"

At this point, Qin Sisi's mood suddenly became very cheerful.

"Hey..." She shrugged and laughed twice, getting happier and happier until she couldn't help but jump around a few times.

"Great! I don't have to die! I can still live!"

She was overjoyed, and her excited cheers echoed throughout the deserted street.

But her joy didn't last long; her high spirits plummeted like a rollercoaster ride.

"Sigh..." She sighed sadly, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly.

"Even though I don't have to die, I still have to go to jail. I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to have a criminal record, I don't want to lose my freedom and be locked up in a dark and hopeless prison..."

She became more and more upset as she spoke, and soon she started to cry with her lips pursed.

"Ah... I really don't want to go to jail..."

She cried and howled at the top of her lungs, and the cheers on the street instantly turned into painful screams.

"Help! Someone, please help me..."

"I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to be a prisoner..."

……

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

At midnight, there was a sudden knock on Pei Xingzhi's door.

"Who is it?" He put on his glasses, got out of bed, and asked as he walked towards the door.

"Pei Xingzhi, it's me." Shen Yanhui's voice came clearly from outside the door.

Pei Xingzhi paused for a moment, hesitated for a second, and then stepped forward to open the door.

But he was careful and didn't open the door completely, but only opened a crack wide enough for one person to pass through.

He stood through the crack, looking at Shen Yan Hui outside the door: "What do you need me for so late?"

Shen Yan nodded: "Something's up! I suddenly remembered something very important that I have to tell you right away!"

"What is it?" Pei Xingzhi asked indifferently.

Shen Yan scratched his head, still a little embarrassed: "Well, I suddenly had a lot of weird thoughts and said a lot of strange things to you during the day. I... I don't know how to explain the situation, and I can't tell you the truth. So I thought about it and decided to ask you for a favor."

Pei Xingzhi raised an eyebrow: "What kind of help?"

Shen Yan looked at him expectantly: "Starting today, if you find me acting crazy towards you like I did during the day, find something and hit me hard. Make sure it hurts, otherwise my crazy behavior might continue."

"...Huh?" Pei Xingzhi was stunned by what she said. "You want me to hit you?"

“Yes!” Shen Yan nodded vigorously. “If you see me having a seizure again, hit me hard! Because only when you hit me hard can I come to my senses!”
