“Ziming, thank you for always standing by my side.”


  Pei Ge’s voice was gentle and her eyes were lowered as she leaned on Ji Ziming’s shoulder. It was as though by doing this, she would feel more at ease. She would feel that she did not have to endure all the suffering she had gone through in the past.

  “What nonsense are you talking about again? You’re my wife. Of course, I have to protect you all the time and not let you get hurt in the slightest. I naturally won’t let those people who have caused you pain feel good either.”


  Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes and a glint flashed across his eyes. Just as he lifted his leg, Old lady Qu fell down and there were more blood on the ground.

  “Sss!”


  The dagger made a perfect parabola on Ji Ziming’s pants. The wound on his leg seemed to be bleeding. She quickly helped him to the wall beside her. “Ziming, Ziming, I’ll bring you to the hospital now.”


  As Ji Ziming was carrying Pei Ge and blocking Old lady Qu, the bodyguards who were standing beside Ji Ziming could not see Old lady Qu squatting on the ground. By the time everyone reacted, Old lady Qu had already cut a five to six centimeter wound on Ji Ziming’s leg with her dagger.

  Old lady Qu was quickly subdued. Pei Ge, who was hugging Ji Ziming tightly, looked at Ji Ziming’s suit pants with heartache and said to the police chief, “I’ve changed my mind. This Old lady Qu doesn’t want her to be sentenced to death. I want her to remember these feelings. I want her to experience them ten or a hundred times more.”


  “Okay, I’ll listen to Madam President.”


  The police chief quickly lowered his head and agreed. Looking at Ji Ziming’s pants, he waved for a few police officers to come over. “Quickly send Mr Ji to the hospital. The sooner, the better.”


  “There’s no need for that. This small injury is not enough to take my life. Just keep an eye on Old lady Qu. If anything happens to her here, your position as the police chief will probably change.”


  Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes and looked at the police chief with a cold smile. “Also, other than me and my wife, no one else is allowed to see Old lady Qu.”


  “Understood, I’ll do it now.”


  “Okay, go ahead.”


  Ji Ziming extended his hand and signaled for the police chief to go down and do his work. He then supported Pei Ge and said softly, “I’m fine. I’ll just go home and find a doctor.”


  “Ziming, let’s go to the hospital. Are you afraid that the hospital staff will speak rudely or expose your injury to the media?”


  “No, I want to be photographed by the media on the way home. That way, there will be one more piece of evidence to put Old lady Qu guilty.”


  Ji Ziming’s lips curled up. Since he had already dragged Old lady Qu down, he could not let go of such a good opportunity.

  “Ziming, why are you so silly? It’s time for this woman to be put on trial. She doesn’t lack your evidence.”


  “Ge Ge, listen to me. As long as I meet a traffic light on the way home, I’m confident that everyone in the capital will look down on the Qu family. Isn’t this what you want?”


  He looked at her but did not see any determination in her eyes. Instead, there was a hint of doubt and hesitation.

  “What’s wrong? You don’t want to do this? Old master Qu’s company has yet to find a suitable partner to help them. If you want to go, I’ll go with you. If you don’t want to go, I won’t force you.”


  “Ziming, if I really bankrupt the Qu family, will I really become a woman that everyone in the capital will scoff at?”


  What Pei Ge was worried about was not Old master Qu’s company. In fact, Old master Qu’s company had nothing to do with her, but the truth was always disappointing. Before long, Pei Ge was already thinking about what Old master Qu said at his birthday party.

  If returning to the Qu family was the last thing to be done, why did they have to make the situation so rigid?

  “You won’t. You’re not Old lady Qu. You’re Pei Ge. You’re my wife. No one in the capital dares to have any opinions about you. Even if there are, it can only be said by me and not by others. I’ll protect my woman myself. Of course, the person I love has to accept my protection.”


  “But Ziming, I’m afraid that if I really bankrupt Qu Group, will Old master Qu go crazy like Old lady Qu and hurt the people around him?”


  “Don’t worry. Old lady Qu’s madness has nothing to do with you. She is too conceited. If she did not do so many immoral things, do you think she would really go crazy at this juncture?”


  Ji Ziming analyzed logically. When he saw the uneasiness in her eyes, his heart ached even more.

  “Ge Ge, believe me. You’re a very good woman. What you want to do is more reliable than anyone else. You still have me. I, Ji Ziming, am never a man who doesn’t care about your safety. If you really don’t want to believe me, then you still have to think about how to get along with the Qu family, right?”


  Ji Ziming exposed Pei Ge’s worries and Pei Ge felt sorry for the Qu family. She was such a kind woman. When they first met, she was touched by her kindness and simplicity. It was only after meeting her for a long time that she realized that this woman was just a very simple woman.

  What she had was the innocence and kindness that the women around her did not have.

  “Ziming, I’ll send you home.”


  Pei Ge turned to look at Old lady Qu, who was being restrained in the corner. With so many police officers and bodyguards entering the small prison, the news of Ji Ziming being injured by Old lady Qu would definitely be on the headlines the next day.

  “Ge Ge, let’s go home.”


  Ji Ziming nodded. Knowing that Pei Ge had already made up her mind, he did not say anything else. However, the moment he turned around and saw Old lady Qu’s gaze, the bodyguards around him stopped.

  “Check if there’s anything in her mouth.”


  If Ji Ziming was right, if Old lady Qu did not have a dagger in her hands when he kicked her down earlier.
