In the stairwell, Ye Si walked up by herself and said indifferently, “I was just being a busybody.”

When Song Chengfeng heard this, he became even more excited. “I knew that my true feelings for you would move you sooner or later…”

Ye Si rolled her eyes at him and interrupted, “I’ll give you three seconds to disappear from my sight.”

“Why?” Song Chengfeng limped behind her. “No matter how uncaring you are to me, the fact that I like you will never change!”

Looking at Song Chengfeng’s confident look, Ye Si felt even more disgusted and said, “Can you stop making me feel disgusted? You pursued me while frolicking around in bed with Wang Qingyu. Do people like you know what liking someone means? Stop insulting the word ‘like’. We’re all classmates, so don’t make me feel that I have done something unnecessary by saving you, okay?”

Song Chengfeng choked on Ye Si’s words until his expression became indescribably unpleasant. He explained hurriedly, “This is a misunderstanding! I also fell for Wang Qingyu’s trick! Do you still remember the day I confessed to you on the rooftop and you rejected me? That day, I was so upset that I went to the bar to drink. Later, Wang Qingyu came and said that you asked her to come and console me. In the end, she kept drinking with me. Later, she cried and said that she liked me for a long time and was willing to offer her first time to me. She even took off her clothes. I drank too much that time and couldn’t control myself…”

“I’m not interested in your story. Move aside.”

Song Chengfeng stretched out his hand to block her path and continued, “I swear I’m not lying! If I have spoken a single line of lie, I’ll be knocked down by a car and die the next time! It was really that scheming woman, Wang Qingyu, who seduced me on her own initiative!”

Ye Si’s patience had reached its limit. She raised her hand and pushed Song Chengfeng aside, and then proceeded to open the door to the stairwell.

Xi Zhimo’s heart sank straight down to the ground when he heard these words.

In the next second, he quickly dodged into the elevator before Ye Si opened the door and happened to bump into Cheng Yiqing in the elevator.

Cheng Yiqing looked at Xi Zhimo’s expression at that moment and immediately felt that something was amiss. He shouted, “Third Master? Is there going to be a global financial crisis?”

Xi Zhimo elegantly straightened his clothes and instantly reverted to his usual high and mighty demeanor like that of an emperor. He looked at Cheng Yiqing with disdain. “Are you sick or something?”

Cheng Yiqing rubbed both his eyes. He was both puzzled and solemn. “I think I may really be sick. I think I must be hallucinating. I thought I saw your panic-stricken expression earlier as if you have committed some crime…”

The corners of Xi Zhimo’s mouth curled up into a condescending smirk. “Hah! Your sickness is quite serious!”

Cheng Yiqing’s handsome face couldn’t help but twitch a few times. He asked, “I’ve already followed your orders to come up here, so where are you going?”

Xi Zhimo raised his injured right hand with a guilty expression. “We’ll go to your place first to change the dressing.”

The two of them returned to Cheng Yiqing’s office. As Cheng Yiqing changed the dressing, he asked, “By the way, Third Master, how’s Mu Feng’s investigation coming along?”

The man straightened his tall figure and looked out the window, the emotions in his eyes unclear. “She was the only woman who went to the 32nd floor that night.”

“Have you checked the surveillance footage? Could someone have tampered with it?”

“I’ve checked. There’s no problem.”

Xi Zhimo’s voice was low, and Cheng Yiqing could sense the disappointment in his heart.

Cheng Yiqing sighed and said in a low voice, “Even so, Wang Qingyu is not good enough for you. For the past month, she has been telling me that you are her first love. In my opinion, this young lady is not as innocent as we think. It’s better to use some money to get rid of her. There’s no need to sacrifice your entire lifetime of happiness for such an incidental occurrence.

“Besides, previously it was because you wanted to fulfill your responsibility to her because you thought she was so innocent and that you had robbed her of her virginity by force, wasn’t it? Now it turned out it was not her first time at all.”

Xi Zhimo turned his head over suddenly. “Will you die if you don’t speak?”

Cheng Yiqing shut his mouth resentfully. He lowered his head and treated the wound conscientiously.

Xi Zhimo’s eyes narrowed. To think that he had been deceived by such a woman for so long!

In reality, he had come here this time to bring closure to this whole matter as he still felt a little guilty toward Wang Qingyu. However, after hearing what Cheng Yiqing just said, the last trace of guilt vanished.
