Chapter 28: Investigate Their Relationship

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

All this while, she’d been careful around him, hiding her children so he wouldn’t find out.

Now, he wanted her life. If she died, her six little children’s would starve, or be handed off to an orphanage by society.

She couldn’t bear the thought of her children being sent to such a desolate place while they were so young.

“Zhan Yeling, let me go!” Xiong Miao struggled with all her strength.

The chilling autumn night, combined with Zhan Yeling’s vicious aura, made Xiong Miao shiver from head to toe.

“Let you go to flirt with Zhan Zifeng? Over my dead body!” Zhan Yeling’s breath grew heavier and faster, anger flaring up uncontrollably within him.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Gu Yi was so shocked by the scene unfolding outside the car that he was at a loss for words. Good heavens, what’s wrong with President Zhan? What did Xiong Miao say to upset him so much?

If he’d known this would happen, he wouldn’t have brought President Zhan to Xiong Miao’s place and revealed her identity. Seeing Zhan Yeling’s grip tightening, he knew someone would get hurt if this continued.

Gu Yi rushed out of the car and forcefully pried Zhan Yeling’s fingers from Xiong Miao’s throat, “President Zhan, calm down, someone could get hurt!”

As soon as Zhan Yeling released his grip, Xiong Miao gulped in the air like a drowning woman breaking the surface of the water.

She coughed violently, inhaling large gulps of fresh air. Until one has experienced suffocation, they could never know the true value of air.

Once her breathing had steadied, she looked up to see Zhan Yeling’s piercing gaze and stepped back in fear. Gu Yi, still acting as a human shield, told Xiong Miao to go home, “Manager Xiong, you should head back. We can discuss the rest tomorrow at work.”

Xiong Miao nodded and left without another glance at Zhan Yeling. She now understood what Zhan Zifeng meant when he said that Zhan Yeling was bloodthirsty and brutal.

She needed to keep her distance from Zhan Yeling. He had nearly strangled her just a while ago. The thought of it sent shivers down her spine.

Zhan Yeling’s breathing was ragged as he watched her hastily retreating figure. His clenched hand still retained the warmth of her neck and the scent of her body seemed to linger in his nostrils.

In this moment, his heart was suffocating as well.

What was her relationship with Zhan Zifeng?

Had they known each other before?

What kind of relationship would prompt her to wear a man’s clothes so naturally?

“Gu Yi, look into it.” Zhan Yeling’s command was as icy as his tone.

“Yes, yes, yes, I’ll investigate,” Gu Yi hurriedly replied, only then realizing what Zhan Yeling was asking him to do, “President Zhan, what should I investigate?”

“Xiong Miao’s relationship with Zhan Zifeng,” he said coldly.

“Yes sir!” Gu Yi immediately acknowledged the order. Only then did he understand why Zhan Yeling was angry.

He had seen the silver-grey suit that Xiong Miao was wearing; it was Zhan Zifeng’s. Xiong Miao wearing Zhan Zifeng’s clothes had infuriated Zhan Yeling to the point of almost killing her!

What was going on?

Was it necessary for President Zhan to become so furious just because Xiong Miao wore another man’s clothes?

Gu Yi couldn’t understand Zhan Yeling at all.

“President Zhan, I’ve already sent someone to investigate. Should we go back for now?” Gu Yi asked after making arrangements on his phone.

Zhan Yeling closed his dark eyes briefly, got into the car, and began to massage his throbbing temples.
