“Okay, I got it. Recuperate well from your injuries,” Zhao Xingji said and hung up the phone. “Strange. It’s really strange. The person from my arrangement got into a car accident and did not go to Boss Ming’s house at all. Who went to Boss Ming’s house then?” Zhao Xingji was breaking out in cold sweat. Luo Yuncan was also puzzled. The two could not figure out what happened. Hence, they rushed to Ye Ming’s villa in Linhai. Just as they stepped into the villa, they saw the mess in the living room.

“The 1982 Château Lafite-Rothschild, alabaster sculpture, jadeite coin… and this Virgin Mary in Glory painting… Oh my goodness. Did a war just occur?” Zhao Xingji spoke as if these were his own treasures. His eyes increasingly widened.

“What happened? Even the Virgin Mary in Glory painting is torn and destroyed?” Zhao Xingji was extremely puzzled. “I don’t know. Let’s go upstairs and take a look,” Luo Yuncan said. The two of them ascended the stairs to the third floor together.

“Boss Ming.” After reaching the third floor, they headed to the study room directly. They saw Ye Ming standing in front of the window. The floor of the study room was also scattered with broken pieces. Zhao Xingji mustered the courage to greet Ye Ming and moved forward with a brazen face.

“How dare you come.” Ye Ming turned around and snorted. Zhao Xingji smiled embarrassingly. He noticed the wound on Ye Ming’s lips and squinted his eyes. He then said cautiously, “Boss Ming, your lips?” Ye Ming snorted. When he recalled what happened earlier, his heart was still fuming. Since a young age, he had not felt so aggrieved.

“Boss Ming, where is that woman?” Zhao Xingji asked. “She ran away,” Ye Ming said. “Ran away? How can that be?” Zhao Xingji had a look of disbelief on his face. In this world, was there anyone who could leave after provoking Boss Ming? Similar to Zhao Xingji, Luo Yuncan was also in disbelief. After sweeping his gaze across the study room, his eyes eventually landed on that sketch which had been covered. A thoughtful look emerged on his face.

“Give me that woman’s information,” Ye Ming said. “Boss Ming, I don’t know who that woman is either.” Zhao Xingji rubbed his hands together and said. “Hmm? You don’t know her identity and you dare to send her to me?” Ye Ming’s gaze focused and he stared at Zhao Xingji. The latter explained frantically, “Boss Ming, listen to my explanation. This is what happened. Actually, I did arrange a small celebrity for you but she got into a car accident when she was on the way. Hence, she has been hospitalized all this while and…”

“So, are you saying that this woman did not have anything to do with you?” Ye Ming continued. “Yes, yes.” Zhao Xingji nodded furiously. Upon hearing this, Ye Ming was in deep thoughts. Since Zhao Xingji said it, this must be the truth. If she was not sent by Zhao Xingji, who was she? Could it be that she was really an ordinary teacher and he had misunderstood her?

It no longer mattered whether she was a teacher or if he had misunderstood her. Since she dared to bite, kick, and threaten him, she had to be prepared to endure his fury.

“Boss Ming, this woman actually dared to provoke you. Should I get her for you?” Zhao Xingji said fawningly. “No need, both of you can go back,” Ye Ming said. This situation was getting interesting. He did not care who this woman was. He had to find her personally and punish her for what she did.

“We’ll leave first then,” Zhao Xingji said. At the sight that Ye Ming was not talking anymore, both he and Luo Yuncan left the villa. “Yuncan, who do you think happened?” When they were outside the villa, Zhao Xingji spoke, he was perspiring furiously.

“I don’t know.” Luo Yuncan shook his head. “No woman dares to defy Boss Ming. This woman is really bold. But speaking of it, it feels good to see Boss Ming with bitten lips.” Zhao Xingji said and laughed. “Do you think we should investigate this woman in private?”
