Ning Shu was planning to go to the hospital to check on Shi Sinan when she received a call from the detective agency. She learned that the police had raided Xi Mucheng’s club half an hour ago.

  A lot of arrests had been made, and they found that many rich people were also involved.

  Half an hour ago, wasn’t Xi Mucheng flirting with Shi Sinan?

  By now, Xi Mucheng should have gotten the message. On one hand was his clubhouse, where his golden eggs were laid, and on the other hand was his lover.

  Tsk tsk, what a dilemma.

  Ning Shu asked the secretary to check which hospital Shi Sinan was in. She waited until the secretary found the address before driving to the hospital.

  Ning Shu arrived at Shi Sinan’s hospital room.

  Xi Mucheng wasn’t here. He had apparently left to deal with the unexpected crisis first.

  He didn’t stay with Shi Sinan to wait for her to wake up.

  Ning Shu walked over to the bedside and saw that Shi Sinan’s head was wrapped with gauze. Near her nose, the gauze was gradually becoming stained with blood.

  Ning Shu called the doctor over to change her bandage. If she let the blood flow like this, it could suffocate her once it reached her throat.

  Ning Shu asked the doctor, “How’s my daughter?”


  “Serious soft tissue contusion.” The doctor said, “The nasal bone was cracked, plus a concussion.”


  Ning Shu: ……

  If his fist had smashed her face, she would definitely have died.

  “Treat her well. Money is not an issue,” said Ning Shu.

  Ning Shu left after staying in the hospital room for a while. She went to the company, as she planned to get rid of several of Xi Mucheng’s projects while he was busy with the clubhouse.

  Two of the projects were directly withdrawn since the partners were both Xi Mucheng’s companies. Although these companies’ legal representative in the open was not Xi Mucheng, the companies were indeed his.

  The contract was literally a gift of money to Xi Mucheng’s companies.

  Ning Shu directly withdrew from the projects. The guy moved the Shi family’s money, killed the Shi family, and abused the Shi family’s daughter. What in the world had the Shi family done wrong to be treated this way?

  When Xi Mucheng’s secretary saw Ning Shu’s actions, he said, “CEO, shouldn’t we consult with the vice president about this matter?”


  Ning Shu said coldly, “Ask for what? I’m the CEO here.”


  She then looked at the secretary and said, “Secretary Li, right? You took advantage of your position and accepted bribes. You’re fired.”


  Secretary Li was stunned. He said, “I’m the vice president’s man. Even if I’m fired, the vice president should be the one to do it. I didn’t take any bribes.”


  “This company belongs to the Shi family. Why would it take so much trouble for me to fire a secretary? Not only did you accept bribes, but you also harassed other female employees. Someone has already reported you to the company.”


  Secretary Li, with a livid expression, turned and left the office to call Xi Mucheng.

  Xi Mucheng was busy with the clubhouse. Many of the employees in the club had been arrested, and now, he had to think of a way to have them released.

  Where would he have the time to care about such a small secretary? Those cooperation cases were just small change for Xi Mucheng.

  The clubhouse was the hen that laid the golden eggs.

  Secretary Li had become cannon fodder in the fight between the two parties, and he now wanted to fight for his rights.

  Secretary Li said, “CEO, pay me a year’s salary in advance and also a bonus of half the salary.”


  Ning Shu heard Secretary Li say that he wanted her to give a year’s salary and a bonus of fifty percent of the salary, that was, a total of a year and a half.

  A secretary at the top of a company was definitely not underpaid. After getting fired, he still asked for a year and a half’s salary.

  Paying three months’ salary was already benevolent.

  Where was his sense of shame? How could he say that?
