267: Chapter 267: The Mysterious Handsome Man 267: Chapter 267: The Mysterious Handsome Man Since the Mothman case ended, the National Security Bureau and the police had finally been relieved of a huge burden.
The authority had completely sealed off the Chengyang Group, turning it upside down.
In the prison of the National Security Bureau, a woman silently huddled in a corner without speaking.
This woman was Zhao Rou.
Now disheveled and unkempt, she bore no trace of her usual glamour.
Since her arrest, she had been in this state of refusal to eat or drink.
A dark shadow flashed and suddenly stopped in front of the cell, quietly staring at Zhao Rou inside.
Zhao Rou slowly raised her head to look at the shadow and suddenly let out a laugh, though the smile was eerie.
“Finally arrived, huh?” Zhao Rou murmured.
The figure did not respond and took out a small capsule from a pocket, throwing it into the cell, then glanced at Zhao Rou.
Zhao Rou did not show panic, nor did she call for the guards.
It seemed she had anticipated this all along.
Calmly picking up the capsule, she swallowed it as if taking routine medication.
Seconds later, blood trickled slowly from the corners of Zhao Rou’s mouth, her body lost its strength, and she collapsed to the ground.
The shadow outside the cell silently watched everything and then left, disappearing into the night…
Ye Shikai got up early, went for a morning run around the neighborhood, feeling more relaxed after closing the case.
Driving to the office, Ye Shikai went straight up to his department.
It seemed that he had not been particularly invested in his PR job, occasionally taking leaves.
Bringing a pile of files to his desk, he saw a group of PR girls gathered, seemingly discussing something.
A super handsome guy came to the office today.
He went straight to the president’s office.
Wonder whose son he is,” one girl said, covering her mouth and gossiping.
“Our president is a great beauty of Yanjing, pursued by many,” another added.
“What are you swooning over, are you as pretty as the president?” Hearing this, the previous girl deflated.
“I think Handsome Ye is pretty good.
Didn’t you see Team Leader Wan went to find him the other day?
And he’s close with Mr.
“What are you chatting about?
Let me join,” Ye Shikai, having organized his files, dragged a chair over and sat down.
“Hey, Handsome Ye, do you have a girlfriend?” one girl asked excitedly.
“Uh…I remember saying at the gathering that I was already married,” Ye Shikai responded with a straight face.
“We thought that was just your excuse, but since you are married, Handsome Ye, how come we have never seen her here?” another girl chimed in.
Ye Shikai sighed in his heart, Su Qingyu, your CEO, how could you not have seen her.
“She’s usually busy, so… she hasn’t come over, also, we are very loving,” Ye Shikai emphasized at last, clearly sensing the gloomy expression on many of the girls’ faces after that remark.
Despite his charm, he was already taken.
“Let’s change the topic.
There was a really handsome man with her, and he seemed very wealthy,” the ladies, unable to flirt with Ye Shikai, grudgingly shifted the topic.
“Who, that man?” Ye Shikai stood up upon hearing this, commanding the attention of all the girls around him before realizing his slip and laughing awkwardly.
“I don’t know who he is, he came in that fancy car,” the girl shook her head and checked her watch, “He’s been here about half an hour now.”
“Sorry, got something to do, I need to dash,” Ye Shikai quickly excused himself and left the PR department, wanting to see who was looking for Su Qingyu.
Taking the elevator to the top floor, he went straight to the office.
“Hey, Ye Shikai, what are you doing?
The president is speaking with someone,” Zhuang Yan warned as Ye Shikai unceremoniously pushed open the office door and saw a handsome, fair-skinned man with a charming smile who seemed about to leave, bumping right into Ye Shikai.
“Uh…hello,” the man greeted Ye Shikai politely, his Mandarin tinged with a strong Hong Kong accent.
“Hello,” Ye Shikai replied with a smile, then walked into the office, not failing to glance back at the man’s retreating figure.
“Ahem, did I allow you in?” Su Qingyu looked up to see Ye Shikai barging in and remarked blandly.
Ye Shikai glanced around and noticed two tea cups on the table in front of the couch.
“Loving wife, who was that man?” Ye Shikai got straight to the point, his tone even.
“My suitor, why?” Su Qingyu pouted, looking both proud and content.
“Daring to meet someone else behind your husband’s back?” Ye Shikai feigned anger, understanding too well that Su Qingyu always acted so cold toward others and subordinates, but with him, she could just be a little capricious.
“Hmph, you have your fun outside, and I can’t have suitors?” Su Qingyu turned her chair away.
“Fine, accept him then, I’ll go find someone else,” Ye Shikai pretended to leave, a smile at the corner of his mouth.
“You dare…” Sure enough, within three seconds, before Ye Shikai could reach the door, Su Qingyu shouted fiercely, “If you dare, I…I’ll tell dad.”
“Ha, I knew it, you are the best, my love,” Ye Shikai turned back, his face grinning, magically producing a cup of hot coffee and placing it on Su Qingyu’s desk, then he moved to her side and sat down on the desk.
“I remember, dad said if you don’t behave, he’d let me discipline you,” Ye Shikai added mischievously, an unusual smile playing on his lips.
“You wouldn’t dare,” Su Qingyu responded, then crossed her arms as if to protect herself from any mischief Ye Shikai might be up to.
“Of course not, my wife is too precious,” Ye Shikai chuckled, then pointed at the two tea cups on the coffee table.
“Alright, enough teasing, who is that man really?” Ye Shikai asked with a smile.
“Just a business partner for a deal, just happens to be quite handsome, and you’re just jealous,” Su Qingyu said, a mix of pride and relief evident on her face, knowing that Ye Shikai’s jealousy meant he cared deeply for her.
