However, he still looked like a noble son on the surface. His Adam’s apple bobbed when he spoke. “I said that the end of my probation period is 10 days away. You’re not planning to deny it, are you?”

There was some silence.

Qiao Nian would have forgotten about it if he hadn’t mentioned it. She pursed her moist lips and her eyelashes fluttered.

The girl didn’t even look in his direction. Pretending to be calm, she reached out to pull the collar of her pajamas, lowered her hand, and let it hang by her side. “Oh, I didn’t forget.”

Ye Wangchuan saw that she looked away unnaturally. His thin lips curled up slightly, and the resentment she had neglected during this period of time instantly dissipated.

“You said yourself that there are only three months of probation. Once that’s over, I’m officially your boyfriend.”

He deliberately teased her, his voice so low that it was like a feather brushing gently against her heart. “Sister Qiao, I hope you’ll be as straightforward as you promised to help me play games with my account when you give me your last answer. Don’t give me another promotion period.”

He continued shamelessly, “After all, I’m old. The doctor said I have to suffer less and live a few more years.”

Ha!

Qiao Nian glanced at the man in his prime and recalled what he had said confidently. The corners of her eyes twitched. She raised the water bottle and said, “Well, let’s talk later. I’ll go up first.”

Ye Wangchuan watched as the girl disappeared around the corner on the second floor. He took out his phone from his pocket and casually made a call.

The call was answered almost instantly.

“Luo Qing, go and find out why Lu Zhi hasn’t left.”

With that, he recalled the way the man in the wheelchair looked at Qiao Nian at the funeral.

He frowned and added, “Also, check what cooperation Tian Chen has had with the Red Alliance in the illegal district over the years.”

Ye Wangchuan put down his phone and sat in deep thought after hanging up.

His eyes narrowed slightly as if there was a cold pool inside. The light shone down from above, accentuating his perfect facial features.

Ye Wangchuan pursed his thin lips for a long time before moving. He picked up the bottle on the table and poured himself a glass of water.

He did not drink it immediately. Instead, he swirled it, his eyes filled with killing intent!

The country was not an illegal district. Lu Zhi would undoubtedly be courting death if he wanted to do whatever he wanted in Beijing!

Lu Zhi had better not be impudent. Otherwise… This was his territory. He had a thousand ways to let him know the rules.

…

Qiao Nian did not know that Ye Wangchuan had already begun to investigate Tian Chen’s background. After going up to the second floor, she returned to her room.

Wen Ruxia’s QQ video popped up.

Qiao Nian placed the mineral water bottle on the side of the computer table. Pulling out a stool and sitting cross-legged on it, she operated the mouse and opened the video. After clicking twice, she accepted Wen Ruxia’s video call.

Wen Ruxia’s well-maintained face immediately appeared on the video as soon as the video call went through. She was wearing a mint-green shirt today with a tied bow at the collar. The silky fabric and gentle color greatly reduced her strong aura, making her look elegant and proper, with a little more femininity.

Wen Ruxia also saw the girl on the other end of the video. The girl seemed to have just taken a shower and was wearing pajamas. Compared to the clothes she had carefully chosen, the girl was much more relaxed in terms of dressing and demeanor.
