After he heard this, Si Zhengting pursed his lips. After a moment, he replied, “It’s because she’s charismatic.”


  Su Yanbing was astonished.

  Leader Ting was obviously shielding her shortcomings!

  Lin Xi’er was obviously a person who was loyal and treated her friends well. But he had twisted the narrative so that it was a matter of Zhuang Nainai being charismatic, which in turn had caused her friends to treat her well.

  He was speechless by how brazenly Si Zhengting was in shielding Zhuang Nainai’s shortcomings.

  The car was cruising along the road. Su Yanbin tried to size Si Zhengting up through the rearview mirror and saw that he looked tired. He couldn’t help but say, “Leader Ting, you should go home and get some rest. You’ve spent too much time out and about these days, and your body may not be able to bear it.”


  Si Zhengting ignored him. Su Yanbin was planning on saying something else when Si Zhengting’s phone rang again.

  He answered the call. Ji Chen was on the other end of the phone line. “Sir, they’ve indeed made an appearance.”


  Si Zhengting’s back was initially straight, but he sat even straighter. “So what happened in the end?”


  “Our brothers injured four, the rest are fine. Mi Nuo was shot in the arm. If not for Dazhuang risking his own life and pulling her out of the line of fire, she could have met a violent death!”


  After he heard this, Si Zhengting narrowed his eyes. “You all did a good job. It wasn’t easy to save someone from their grasp.”


  Ji Chen nodded. “Yes, Sir. But what now? Mi Nuo’s hurt. Do we follow our original plan and send her to the villa, or do we go to a hospital?”


  Without hesitating, Si Zhengting replied, “It’s too dangerous to go to a hospital. We will also have to split up the team and have some people go into the hospital as well. Head for the villa as planned.”


  Ji Chen was speechless.

  It seemed like the only person who could make Mr. Si nervous was Ms. Zhuang!

  Si Zhengting paused before saying, “Reward the brothers well. Add another $500,000 to each of their accounts. Once we’re done with this phase, they won’t be required to assassinate as many people.”


  “Okay.”


  Si Zhengting couldn’t help but say, “Everyone’s priority should be on keeping themselves safe. Mi Nuo will just have to hang in there as much as she possibly can.”


  Ji Chen nodded again. “Understood.”


  Si Zhengting ended the call, then turned to the side to look out of the window.

  The night was dark, but there weren’t many pedestrians on the street.

  As an heir, he had experienced too many assassinations.

  But since he wasn’t part of the mafia, he was afraid that he couldn’t guarantee success if he were to personally do the deed.

  Also, if the person who had been assassinated today was Zhuang Nainai, then there would have been a casualty among his brothers.

  So the best plan was to divert the target and let someone else endure this wave after wave of assassinations.

  Then, to wait.

  To wait for that person to regain consciousness, to wait for Nainai to become stronger, because she would have to personally deal with whatever happens in the future!

  Time was tight, so much so that he couldn’t give Nainai a buffer. He could only use this most stimulating means.

  Her personality was one that was satisfied with things as they are. She was very satisfied with her life and had no ambition. Only hatred could make her grow quickly.

  As he thought about this, Si Zhengting couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

  Su Yanbin watched him in the mirror and resisted the temptation, but he could finally not hold it back any longer and asked, “Leader Ting, you want to train her, but if the children are separated from their mother as soon as they’re born, isn’t that too cruel? And I haven’t seen the children until now. How are they?”


  Si Zhengting pursed his lips and paused for a moment before saying, “Do you want to see them?”


  Su Yanbin nodded.

  As he thought about the two children, a look of pity flashed across Si Zhengting’s eyes. Then he replied, “I’ll let you see them in a bit.”
