  Seeing the coldness and certainty on Charlie’s face, Pei Ge felt touched. “Mr. Charlie, my mother is with me. I am responsible for her safety.”


  Pei Ge’s reply was very confident as well. The two of them stood by the car door in a deadlock. Zhang Manhua sat in the car and smiled at the two of them as she consoled, “Charlie, don’t worry. Go and sit in the car behind. I’ll be safe.”


  When Charlie heard Zhang Manhua’s voice, he hesitated for a moment before nodding his head. He walked to the van at the back. Other than five burly men, there was also a woman with light makeup sitting in the van. The intimidating aura that she exuded made Charlie’s heart tremble when he saw the woman.

  They were all formidable bodyguards sent by Ji Ziming to protect Pei Ge.

  Zhang Manhua and Pei Ge sat in the car, their faces flushed with happiness. However, when they looked at Pei Ge, their eyes were filled with happiness as though they were reunited after a long separation.

  “Ge Ge, how have you been in the country for so long?”


  Zhang Manhua was most concerned about her daughter’s happiness. Other than that, she did not care about anything else. No one else was more important than this reason.

  “Okay, of course I’m fine. Mom, why do you always ask me this every time we meet? You asked me the same thing when I visited you abroad last time.”


  She laughed and lightly patted her mother’s hand. “Mom, don’t worry. I’m very good and Ziming treats me very well.”


  “If he dares to treat you badly, I’ll bring you and the three children with me. Let’s see what Ji Ziming will do.”


  Zhang Manhua laughed and turned to look at her daughter lovingly. Seeing the happiness on her daughter’s face, she felt happy inside.

  “Ge Ge, that’s great.”


  “What?”


  Pei Ge did not understand for a moment. Thinking that Zhang Manhua was referring to her good mood after coming back, she continued asking, “Mom, since you’re back, you should stay at home for a while. Qitong and Bi Zheng will be back for the wedding soon.”


  A smile appeared in Pei Ge’s beautiful eyes as she looked at Zhang Manhua with even more gentleness.

  “I know. I came back so quickly not only to reunite with your uncle, but also to help Qitong and Bi Zheng plan their wedding.”


  The wrinkles at the corner of Zhang Manhua’s eyes were filled with gentleness as she said gently, “Ge Ge, you don’t know how well Bi Zheng treated Qitong after you returned to the country. The two of them were almost stuck together all day long. When you came to my house to eat, you had to be together. When Qitong went to university to teach, you had to stick together. Even when Bi Zheng went to work, as long as Qitong was free, she had to learn how to cook Bi Zheng’s favorite dishes from me and learn how to cook them for him.”


  As Zhang Manhua spoke, she pinched Pei Ge’s fingers. A few small calluses had unknowingly appeared on her delicate fingers, forming a stark contrast with the tender skin on the back of her hands. The calluses were soft, yet her skin was soft. Others would not believe that there were a few small calluses on the side of her nails on such soft hands.

  “Ge Ge, after so many years, you……”


  “Mom, I know what you’re going to say. It’s okay. It’s over.”


  Pei Ge smiled and looked into Zhang Manhua’s eyes seriously. “Mom, do you know that I never thought that I would have anything to do with the Qu family? Qu Jingwan wants to marry Ziming and Old lady Qu is always trying to trip me up. If I didn’t see that DNA test with my own eyes, I would never believe it.”


  She explained in detail about how nervous she was when she found out that she was the Qu family’s eldest daughter.

  “Ge Ge, you’ve suffered.”


  Zhang Manhua listened attentively. She knew how much her daughter had suffered, but she could only comfort her.

  The two cars were one in front and the Rolls-Royce in the back. Although there was a small distance between them, it was the best time for a car to rush over.

  Old lady Qu’s trusted aide drove between the two cars and the vehicle was not damaged at all. He only left a slight scratch on the white van.

  The two cars stopped at the same time. The drivers opened their doors and got out. However, they saw that the trusted aide’s car had already gone far away. It would be a waste of time and effort to continue chasing.

  “What is it?”


  Pei Ge rolled down the window and asked the driver.

  “Madam, we had a small car accident just now, but the car, the drivers and the passengers are fine.”


  The driver answered honestly.

  “If there’s nothing else, then it’s fine. Let’s go. Let’s hurry back.”


  After Pei Ge said that, the two drivers returned to their respective cars. However, the people in the car behind them did not feel that it was a small car accident. It was not as simple as the driver made it out to be. There was a huge possibility that their lives were in danger.

  At this moment, the trusted aide in the car was calling Old lady Qu.

  “Madam, I saw it just now. It was two people.”


  There was a hint of coldness in the close aide’s voice. He, who had seen through human relations, was actually so indifferent when talking about human lives. It was as if a human life was just a cigarette to him.

  “Okay, I got it. You can decide what to do next. You don’t have to ask me anymore. I’m very busy now. Don’t call me anymore.”


  A smug smile appeared on Old lady Qu’s face. Everything was going according to her plan and seemed to be waiting for Zhang Manhua’s return.

  The voice on the other end of the phone sounded noisy and rough. The close aide immediately understood where Old lady Qu was and that voice was the one he was most familiar with.

  Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, he nodded his head and listened to Old lady Qu’s orders. This was the fundamental professionalism of the Envoy of Darkness.

  The aide did not expect to see the man who owned the familiar voice standing before him before long.

  At this moment, Ji Ziming, who was located far away in Ji Group, was urgently finishing up his work. It concerned the future development of Pei Ge’s company and his biggest collaborator could not afford to make any mistakes…… Luckily, Ji Ziming had a wide network.
