It was not until they got into the car that was prepared in advance behind the alley that the person with his arm removed stretched tiredly. “Acting is really too tiring. After following Boss for so long, I think 1 can become an actor!”
Sean smiled and turned the key. As he drove, he mocked, “With your acting skills? If Boss hadn’t really attacked just now, you would have been seen through by that sly old fox Fang Yu!”
The other person, whose palm had been pierced by the knife, smiled foolishly and took off the prop in his hand. He held it in his hand and fiddled with it. “It’s true. Tell me, where did Boss ever get such a realistic thing? 1 was shocked when 1 saw it just now. If it weren’t for the fact that it didn’t hurt at all, 1 would have believed it myself!”
Sean glanced at the rearview mirror in amusement and heaved a sigh of relief when he didn’t see any cars following. “Otherwise, how could she be our boss? I’ll meet up with our boss later. Stay in the car and don’t run around.”
The other two looked at each other and could not help but ask, “Are we still going to Blood Oath when we head back later? Is that kid from the Yi family reliable? I’m worried that he’s not sincere to Boss. At that time, he’ll be a burden to Boss!”
Sean pondered for a moment and suddenly stopped the car by the roadside. I le said to the two of them seriously, “We’ve been hanging around in Blood Oath’s territory recently, but we haven’t been discovered by Hellgate once. If we rashly change places, I’m afraid we’ll cause trouble for Boss. Besides…”
He paused for a moment and leaned over with a mysterious expression. “Have you forgotten the big betrothal gift President Yi gave us? Although we didn’t want to accept it, with that betrothal gift, we’ll be honored guests of Blood Oath! When Boss wants to kick that kid, we can take all the betrothal gifts away. Boss will definitely like those things.”
The other two felt that it made sense and gave him a thumbs up in unison. “Brother Sean, you’re the one who understands. We’re guarding for Boss now and going deep into the enemy’s territory. Only then can we help Boss understand the family she’s going to marry in the future!”
‘Right!’ Sean beamed as he got behind the wheel again.
At night, Shi Man used the old method to jump out of the window and met Sean outside the manor.
The two of them cut to the chase. Sean briefly told her about Fang Yu after she left. Then, he handed her all the private photos he had taken just now.
Fang Han had not woken up when they left. When she woke up, she would definitely tell Fang Yu about the photos. At that time, Fang Yu would not let Sean and the others off.
Shi Man glanced at the photo briefly and raised her head suspiciously. “You didn’t really do anything to her, right?”
Sean quickly shook his head to prove his innocence. “We really didn’t. We just took a few photos of her according to your instructions. We didn’t reveal any private places. It was just a little too much. However, we didn’t expect her to faint from fear just like that. Later, Fang Yu rushed over. We quickly took off our pants and pretended that something had happened, but we really didn’t do anything!”
Shi Man still trusted him on this. After putting away the photo, she instructed them not to show their faces easily for the time being and sent him away quickly.
She did not intend to return these photos to the Fang family, but as long as Fang Han did not have any designs on anyone in the Shi family, she would definitely not threaten the Fang family.
When she returned to the bedroom, she was about to hide the photos and go to bed when her phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up curiously and wanted to hang up when she saw the words Yi Zheng.
Yi Zheng clearly knew that Shi Man didn’t like to answer his calls, so he kept insisting. After calling three or four times, he finally heard Shi Man’s impatient voice.
Yi Zheng was not angry. He smiled and said, “Are you done meeting Sean?”
Shi Man was slightly stunned before her expression darkened. “Are you spying on me?”
“No.” Yi Zheng’s tone was light and without any psychological burden. “Don’t be nervous.
I guessed.”
Only then did Shi Man’s expression ease up a little, but she still didn’t look good. “Then why did you call?”
On the other end of the phone, Yi Zheng sighed softly and said helplessly, “Have you forgotten our agreement?”
Shi Man was stunned. Only then did she remember her bet with him. She pursed her lips and forced a smile. “Oh, I remember. Then do you think there’s anything good about you just making this call?”
They had only agreed on her not rejecting his kindness, but they had not agreed that she would really treat him like a lover. There was still a huge difference between the two.
Yi Zheng couldn’t help but laugh at her arrogant tone. Before she exploded, he quickly restrained his smile and got down to business. “Didn’t 1 say the last time that 1 could tell you about the person who secretly helped Shi Jing escape?”
Shi Man’s dark eyes suddenly lit up. She said in surprise, “Who is it?”
Yi Zheng sneered and said, “You just saw him..”
