Chapter 744: Chapter 744: What is Your Relationship with Qian Shanshan

Hearing the secretary’s inquiry, Assistant Sun said in a mysteriously lowered voice, "You don’t understand!"

With a puzzled face, the secretary asked, "How can I know if you don’t tell me? It looks to me like you’re collecting sexy uniforms, could it be that you’ve got yourself a girlfriend?"

"What girlfriend? I’m a married man," Assistant Sun said proudly.

The secretary grew even more curious, "Don’t tell me you want to spice things up with your wife..."

"Shh!" Unable to contain his excitement, Assistant Sun whispered to the secretary, "The uniform isn’t for me."

"Then who is it for?"

No sooner had the secretary finished speaking than she realized.

She made a shocked gesture, then as if seeking affirmation, asked, "It couldn’t be the president, could it?"

Assistant Sun gave her a knowing look that suggested they both understood without needing to speak and remained tight-lipped.

Soon,

the entire company knew this open secret.

Of course, no one was foolish enough to spread the word widely. It was only whispered during private conversations when gossiping.

Assistant Sun got quite a shock when he inadvertently overheard some junior staff discussing the matter.

Luckily, the president didn’t have a habit of listening in on other people’s conversations, or Assistant Sun might have ended up treated to a seafood feast.

And the biggest dish on the menu would be... being fired.

Let’s not dwell on how anxious Assistant Sun was for the moment.

Let’s talk about Quan Jinbei.

He was pretty satisfied with Shi Yaoguang’s arrangements.

It was just a uniform, wasn’t it?

If his wife liked it, he was up for anything!

Moreover...

Even if it meant that he had to wear the uniform, in the end, he was still the one who got to enjoy the feast.

There was nothing bad about it.

If Shi Yaoguang had known that after getting a taste, this scoundrel would have such an attitude, she probably wouldn’t have let him have his way so soon.

Being looked at with his hungry, green eyes every day made her feel like she was fish on a chopping board, already cut and ready to be eaten.

And yet,

it was quite exhilarating.

This must be the troubled joy of pain mixed with pleasure.

Shi Yaoguang was bothered by the man’s lack of restraint, whereas Zhao Xiran, who was essentially crafting her wedding dress for her, was distressed.

Zhan Miao was busy training newcomers in the Yaoguang Sect and naturally didn’t have the time to personally interrogate Zhao Xiran.

But he had many capable people under him.

He could pick any of them and they would be a one-in-a-million skilled interrogator.

Zhao Xiran, a woman quick to respond and eager to climb higher on the social ladder, soon spilled all her motives.

Under the pressure of a retired soldier, Zhao Xiran had nothing left.

Only, this "nothing left" was different from the initial process she had imagined.

Zhao Xiran hadn’t expected that she would be treated like a dangerous person on the level of a terrorist.

Being interrogated in turn, she even began to doubt her own goals.

Only after she repeatedly explained how she had conspired with Qian Shanshan and how they planned to get involved with Quan Jinbei and usurp Shi Yaoguang, was she finally let go by these people.

Even so, Zhao Xiran still felt she was at a loss.

A huge loss.

She was really just an ordinary gold digger!

All she wanted was to climb up the social ladder simply through physical relationships!

If she didn’t care for physical relationships, she could just leave on her own.

Why subject her to such "interrogation"?

She was about to lose half her life over this!

Zhao Xiran was going insane inside, but Quan Jinbei, one of the chief culprits, didn’t care at all.

Such a woman, if he didn’t personally take care of her, it would be his generosity.

Elsewhere.

Qian Shanshan, upon learning that Zhao Xiran had failed to complete the task, was very scornful of her.

Such a good opportunity had been given to her, yet she couldn’t even accomplish this minor task, she was simply an idiot!

Qian Shanshan felt that there was no need to bother pulling someone like that out of trouble.

Um.

No, that’s not right, even if Zhao Xiran was useful, she wouldn’t try to bail her out.

After all...

Having chosen to join the plan, she had to be prepared for the consequences of the plan’s failure.

Zhao Xiran had confessed Qian Shanshan’s existence, so naturally, Quan Jinbei would seek out Qian Shanshan to settle accounts.

After investigating Qian Shanshan’s activities, Quan Jinbei immediately turned his attention to the Qian Family.

Qian Yi never expected that, having rejected Qian Shanshan’s "crooked idea," he would still be sought out by Quan Jinbei.

"Quan... Third Master..."

Qian Yi, looking at the cold-faced Quan Jinbei, greeted him with a shiver.

During the conversation, his eyes continually swept behind him, afraid someone would appear from behind him.

This person, of course, was Shi Yaoguang.

He was truly exhausted.

Shi Yaoguang was not someone he could afford to provoke.

This, he knew very well, loud and clear.

Therefore, when Qian Shanshan came to him, wanting to trick Shi Yaoguang into a shotgun marriage again, he immediately refused without a second word.

"Third Master Quan, what brings you to me?"

Quan Jinbei, with a cold face and an oppressive tone, asked, "What is your relationship with Qian Shanshan?"

"I have no relationship with Qian Shanshan!" Qian Yi, hearing him mention Qian Shanshan, knew that it was probably that woman’s stupidity being exposed.

He was very grateful that he had not been involved.

However, facing Quan Jinbei’s questioning gaze, he still felt a little guilty.

After all, he had tried to egg Qian Shanshan on in the past.

But this was his own secret, Quan Jinbei shouldn’t know about it.

And Qian Shanshan wouldn’t possibly tell.

Thinking this, Qian Yi didn’t feel guilty anymore.

He hadn’t done anything wrong after all.

"Third Master Quan, I really have nothing to do with Qian Shanshan! Previously, Qian Shanshan even pretended to be my family’s illegitimate daughter, trying to seize the Qian Family’s fortune, and Miss Shi knows about this."

"It was Miss Shi who helped expose her identity then. You must believe me! My enmity with Qian Shanshan is irreconcilable, we truly couldn’t collude!"

Quan Jinbei’s cold gaze was sharp like a blade, settling on him, "How do you know I’m here because you colluded with her?"

Qian Yi: "..."

Damn.

What’s with this strong sense of unintended confession?

His heart was filled with annoyance, yet his face showed firm resolve.

"Third Master Quan, everything I said is true, if you don’t believe me, I can swear!"

As Qian Yi spoke, he raised his hand to swear to the heavens, "I, Qian Yi, truly have no relationship with that witch Qian Shanshan! I did not agree to collude with her, nor did I agree to cooperate with her to sabotage..."

He paused again at this moment.

He seemed...

Possibly...

Said too much again!

Just as he realized this, he met Quan Jinbei’s almost smiling eyes.

"You just said you didn’t agree to cooperate with her? What did she ask you to do?"

Facing Quan Jinbei’s dangerous gaze, Qian Yi dared not conceal anything. He immediately spelled out the whole process of Qian Shanshan approaching him.
