She turned around in fear, but she was caught off guard and met Shi Man’s playful eyes. The fear from before instantly disappeared without a trace.
“Why are you standing there?”
Shi Man walked up to her casually. “I heard you say that you and I are very close.”
Gao Shu’s expression changed. She quickly glanced in Yi Zheng’s direction and quickly smiled. “Instructor Shi, it was Zhao Jing’s idea on the court. I was only forced to help her. Don’t affect our relationship over such a small matter.” “What’s my relationship with you?” Shi Man kept looking at Yi Zheng when she said this.
This was the first time she had seen this man flare up.
Seeing his cold face become angry the moment he faced her, Shi Man felt that this man was quite cute sometimes.
Gao Shu clenched her fists nervously and smiled apologetically. “Instructor Shi, actually, you’ve always been the person I admire. By the way, is this your friend? Didn’t the army forbid outsiders from entering casually? How did he get in?”
She thought that she had something on Shi Man and wanted to take the opportunity to get Yi Zheng’s contact information. Unexpectedly, before she could do so, she was ruthlessly pushed aside by the man.
At this moment, Yi Zheng only had Shi Man in his eyes and heart. Seeing her return, he couldn’t help but be happy, so he placed his hands on her shoulders.
Shi Man glanced at his large hand warningly.
Yi Zheng pretended not to see it and sighed deeply. “Manman, my attitude was bad just now. Don’t be angry with me, okay? I’ll admit to everything I have done. I didn’t do that. No matter what others say, I won’t admit it. Give me a little more time. I’ll definitely give you an explanation.”
“Alright.” Shi Man nodded. From the corner of her eye, she saw Gao Shu’s shocked gaze. The smile in her eyes deepened. “You can leave now. Don’t you have something important to do? Call me if you need anything.”
With that, Shi Man turned around and left.
Yi Zheng wanted to take a few steps forward, but Gao Shu stopped him.
“What’s your relationship?”
“Move.” Yi Zheng’s expression was extremely bad.
This woman had pestered him several times. He should teach her a lesson.
Gao Shu shrank her neck in fear, but she still pursed her lips and said carefully, “Are you Instructor Shi’s boyfriend?”
“I’m her fiance.” Yi Zheng walked around her impatiently and left, leaving Gao Shu behind him with so much hatred that her nails dug into her flesh.
Why did Shi Man have such a handsome fiance?
She had taken a fancy to this man!
She had to snatch him!
Tang Zhe, who had been waiting outside, saw his President and Miss Shi coming out one after another. He immediately understood that the President had not coaxed her well this time.
Now that he saw Yi Zheng’s cold face, he quickly comforted him in a low voice. “President Yi, Miss Shi just doesn’t understand. I’ll work harder to collect further evidence to prove that you were indeed unconscious that night. I believe Miss Shi will understand you then.”
“Understand me for what?” Yi Zheng’s vicious eyes suddenly shot toward him.
“I said that I didn’t do it. For your cousin’s sake, are you listening to me anymore?”
Tang Zhe lowered his head guiltily. “I just feel that Cousin is innocent and kind. She doesn’t covet your money. There’s no reason for her to use her innocence to slander you. This won’t do her any good.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly pressed against the wall by a force. He looked up and met Yi Zheng’s angry eyes.
“If you don’t want to be the chief secretary anymore, you can simply submit your resignation application. But as long as you’re in this position, you should do whatever I ask you to do!”
Tang Zhe lowered his eyes and nodded without daring to resist. “Yes.”
Yi Zheng snorted and let go of his collar. “Investigate Chen Jiao’s family’s recent financial situation.”
Tang Zhe widened his eyes in disbelief. “You still suspect…”
“You know my rules.” Yi Zheng glanced at him coldly. His gaze was too cold. Tang Zhe suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he had seen President Yi reveal such a terrifying expression.
Ever since he had Miss Shi, the President had become gentle and delicate. He had almost forgotten that this was a man who had relied on his hands to carve out a bloody path and gain a foothold in the black market of G City.
If it was in the past, Tang Zhe might have died more than 800 times.
Looking at it now, Yi Zheng had really done his best to tolerate him.
Tang Zhe immediately restrained the emotions he shouldn’t have and said seriously, “Yes, President Yi, don’t worry. I’ll report everything I find to you in detail.”
This was his duty as the President’s secretary.
That night, Tang Zhe placed his findings on the table in the President’s office.
Only then did he know that his cousin’s name was not Chen Jiao in the past, but Chen Lan. According to Chen Jiao’s mother, Chen Lan had insisted on changing her name after coming to the capital..
