The cars left.

The entertainment reporters waited in groups of twos and threes for a while.

Seeing that Li Xiwu and the others had left one after another, they surrounded the building and continued to wait. After all, the protagonist had yet to come down. Seeing this, the property management came to chase away these entertainment reporters. After a while, these entertainment reporters all hid again.

“I’m not familiar with this neighborhood. Wait here. I’ll help you find another way,” Cao Ting said and turned to go downstairs.

Neither he nor Qi Zishen left. They stayed in the corridor. There were many entertainment reporters downstairs. If he appeared like this, he would probably be blocked for a long time.

Qi Zishen stopped Cao Ting. “Give me your car keys.”

Cao Ting didn’t think too much about it and handed his car keys to Qi Zishen. “It’s good that you drive my car. When the time comes, drive straight home and don’t go to the company.”

Qi Zishen didn’t say anything, his expression dark.

Cao Ting looked at Qi Zishen’s expression and felt that something was wrong. “What do you want to do?”

Qi Zishen looked up slowly. “What do you think I’m going to do?”

Cao Ting sighed. “Accept your fate. President Qi has the heart to protect you, but this time, Li Xiwu is coming aggressively and the live broadcast is impossible to guard against. Not to mention that President Qi has indulged Li Xiwu this time, you can’t afford to offend Li Xiwu with her identity and background.”

Qi Zishen raised the corners of his lips and sneered. “She has the Pei family’s backing and is now the biological granddaughter of that Old Madam Mo. Who can touch her?”

“I’m glad you know.” Cao Ting looked at the gloom on Qi Zishen’s face. “You’ve indeed gone too far this time. You clearly knew that it was Lan Min’s scheme, but you didn’t take a step back and still stepped into this deep pit. In the end, you harmed yourself.”

Actually, Cao Ting knew about Qi Zishen and Ji Weiling.

Cao Ting knew that Lan Min was involved. However, he did not ask at that time because Qi Zishen had never flipped a car after so long, so Cao Ting did not take this matter to heart. Speaking of which, he was still responsible for this matter.

There was no way to turn things around now. The road had become a dead

emu.

Cao Ting said earnestly, “With your status in the industry, you’ll definitely be able to receive scripts. It’s just that variety shows might be a little difficult. The industries you invested in are developing quite well. Focus on investing in the future.”

Qi Zishen smiled but did not respond.

Cao Ting felt that Qi Zishen would not be able to accept this cruel truth for a while. No one could immediately accept this fact after falling from the altar.

Cao Ting originally wanted to say something to comfort Qi Zishen. Before he could speak) he saw Qi Zishen leave with his car keys. Cao Ting raised his voice. “Zishen, rest when you go back. I’ll bring you dinner later.”

Qi Zishen did not reply. In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared from his sight.

At this moment, Li Xiwu was on her way back to North Water Town.

It was the same luxury car. The driver hadn’t changed, either. She sat in the back seat and replied to all the messages on WeChat before calling Pei Jingzhou back. When the call was picked up, Li Xiwu pressed the phone to her ear. “Fourth Brother.”

Pei Jingzhou’s voice came from the receiver. “On the way back to North Water

Town?”

Li Xiwu replied, “Yes.”

She might not have noticed, but her voice was light and sweet. It was a little different from usual.

Pei Jingzhou could tell and guess, “You’ve acknowledged your grandmother?”

Li XiWU’S smile was almost reaching the back of her head. Of course, it wasn’t really that exaggerated. She was just in a good mood and her face was filled with joy.

She changed her grip on the phone and leaned back, her entire body relaxing. “I talked to Grandma for a long time. She told me about the MO family, and I told her about the facial restoration.”

Pei Jingzhou was still in the hotel in North Water Town. He had been waiting for Li Xiwu to call for a long time.

Hearing Li Xiwu say that she had chatted with Old Madam MO for a long time, Pei Jingzhou was not worried that Old Madam MO would tell Li Xiwu too much about the past. Even if the old lady was old, she was still an experienced person. She naturally knew what to say in front of Li Xiwu.

Pei Jingzhou replied as he listened. Unknowingly, they chatted for more than ten minutes. Pei Jingzhou asked her, “Do you want to go straight back to the production team?

Li Xiwu said, “I’ve delayed the recording of the show in the afternoon today. I’ll rush back now to finish the broadcast. I’ll come and look for you later and go back to the MO Residence.”

It wasn’t that she couldn’t wait. She had promised her grandmother that she would go back to the MO Residence today.

Pei Jingzhou replied, “Okay.”

As they chatted, Li Xiwu remembered that when she returned to the hotel in the morning, she accidentally heard Han Qianye on the phone, so she mentioned in front of Pei Jingzhou, “Auntie seems to like Yaoyao too.”

Pei Jingzhou: “Yeah?”

Li Xiwu asked, “Did Fourth Brother tell Auntie about my previous thoughts?”

Not long after this topic passed, Pei Jingzhou remembered what it was.

Pei Jingzhou said, “1 didn’t mention this to her.”

Li Xiwu was stunned for a moment. She thought that Pei Jingzhou had told

Han Qianye that she wanted to adopt Yaoyao. Otherwise, why would Han Qianye call him that on the phone?

No… Yaoyao was a child adopted by Madam Di Xin and had nothing to do with her and Pei Jingzhou. Did Han Qianye have any plans? Then what did she want to do? Adopt Yaoyao for her and Pei Jingzhou?

Something was still wrong…

Li Xiwu’s mind became confused.

Pei Jingzhou asked her, “What’s wrong?

Li XiWU’S lips parted. She wanted to tell Pei Jingzhou about her doubts, but she thought that she would be able to meet him tonight. She had a lot of time, so she decided to talk to Pei Jingzhou about this tonight.

“Nothing,” she said. “We’ll talk about this later. I don’t know how to say it now.”

Pei Jingzhou did not continue asking. “I’ll come and pick you up.”

Li XiWU’S lips curved. “Okay.”

After ending the call, Li Xiwu held the phone and fell into deep thought. At this moment, the driver suddenly said anxiously, “Young Miss, sit tight! Sit tight!”

In an unexpected situation, Li Xiwu reacted quickly. She reached out and grabbed the handle of the car wall. Before she could completely stabilize herself, the car she was sitting in seemed to fly more than ten meters forward.

With a bang, the car landed. The driver was mentally strong. He steadied the steering wheel and accelerated at the same time.

There was a screech of tires on the ground.

The performance of the luxury car was impressive, but no matter how impressive it was, it could not withstand the crazy pursuit of the car behind.

Li XiWU’S heart was racing. She could see the car behind her in the inner rearview mirror. The car was still chasing after her and hitting her car. It was not afraid of death at all. It was completely risking its life.

It was Qi Zishen!

It was actually Qi Zishen!

He’s crazy!

The moment she saw that it was Qi Zishen, Li Xiwu was not afraid. Instead, she was glad that Qi Zishen was taking revenge on her and not Ji Weiling. She reminded the driver, “Steady the steering wheel and speed.”

Just as she finished speaking, the car behind suddenly sped up and hit it with a loud bang. The luxury car was hit and rushed towards the greenery—

At that moment, Li Xiwu was on the verge of death for the second time..
