Perhaps, he should just stay in Pei Ge’s office and not leave.

“Why should I lie to you? Go listen to what those girls are saying.”

Qu Xiujie would definitely be suspicious if he said it like this. He had sharp eyes and noticed that the girls who had passed by him were speaking. Even though their words were not very clear, he could still hear Pei Ge’s name.

“Why didn’t I know?”

Although his friend was unwilling to believe it, Murong Cheng clearly heard those people saying that Qu Xiujie was daydreaming if he wanted to look for Pei Ge.

For the price that he had paid, he only managed to find out about Pei Ge’s past. He did not manage to find out what had happened to her in those five years or what had happened during her time in America.

That was because when he investigated up to that point, Old Lady Qu happened to cut off all his sources of funds. If it were not for Murong Cheng taking him in, he would be like a homeless elderly man right now.

“You don’t believe my words or those passersby’s chatter, so whose words do you believe? Could it be that you want Pei Ge to stand before you and tell you herself what had happened to her?”

Murong Cheng laughed. Qu Xiujie’s suspicious personality was truly inherited from Old Master Qu.

Murong Cheng shook his head and let go of the steering wheel. He pointed at the additional security officers patrolling the office building and teased, “Look at the entrance. When you left earlier, there were only two on each side. Now, there are four.”

Qu Xiujie looked, and that was indeed the situation. It seemed that they wanted to stop him from appearing again. He was initially the Mr. Qu envied by many, but now, he had become hated by everyone in Pei Ge’s office.

“They—”

“They are there to stop you.”

His friend interrupted him right away and simply stated that he should not appear here and bother the woman further.

“What should I do then? The office only has a main entrance, and I can’t even go via the back door.”

“Aren’t you looking for Ji Ziming?”

Murong Cheng reminded Qu Xiujie. Seeing that his friend was relentless in waiting for Pei Ge even though he was kicked out, Murong Cheng could not help but laughed and said, “You, aren’t you being too boastful? Now you’re your embarrassed.”

“It isn’t that, furthermore, as long as I said I could find Ji Ziming, I definitely can.”

That was because he and Ji Ziming had the same aim and Old lady Qu was their common foe. Even Pei Ge was the same woman whom they wanted to protect. Qu Xiujie had 120% chance that he could stand right before Ji Ziming and get him to support him. On the other hand, he had no confidence in getting Pei Ge.

“I say, you’d better not cooperate with Ji Ziming. Go look for your other brothers and they would be able to deal with Old lady Qu. Even if she is a wealthy woman, she won’t be able to win if she could not win hearts. Hence, don’t worry.”

Murong Cheng was not afraid of Qu Xiujie because he knew that Qu Xiujie would always be able to find ways to secure these advantages. As long as Qu Xiujie was able to do, his painful time in Qu family mansion would come to an end.

“No, to deal with a woman, especially someone so vicious like her who could send her own granddaughter into Ji Ziming’s home, what else can she not do?”

Qu Xiujie understood Old lady Qu’s rutheless well. Even though he did not fight it out with her heads on, it would not be difficult for him to know how she was like from the peple she arranged at his side.

“Why do you think this Old lady Qu is so evil when she lacks neither money nor man?”

Murong Cheng was puzzled as to what was worth it for her to deal with Qu Xiujie personally.

“For a secret, a monstrous secret.”

Qu Xiujie walked to Murong Cheng’s car and opened the door. The moment he sat inside, Murong Cheng complained, “Why did you enter, I’m going to another hotel to deliver a contract.”

“Anyways you’re out. Do you think I have no idea that you’ve already delivered the contract that you’re talking about. You’re purposely waiting here to watch me embarrass myself. Since you’re here anyways, drive me to Ji family’s mansion. Ji Ziming should still be home now.”

Qu Xiujie was very certain as though he had agreed with Ji Ziming earlier on.

However, the outcome disappointed him once again.

Auntie Zhang stood at the entrance and would not let him enter the main entrance and the reason was that Ji Ziming and Pei Ge were not home. Just as Qu Xiujie was prepared to barge in and wait for Ji Ziming in the living room, he barely walked three steps before a row of men appeared and looked foully at him.

It appeared as though if Qu Xiujie were to take another step, he would be executed on the spot. Qu Xiujie had no choice but to retreat before shouting at Auntie Zhang, “Then can you tell me where is Ji Ziming now?”

“How can servants like us know about the CEO’s itinerary. Why not go and look for him in Ji Group?”

Auntie Zhang offered a possible location, but it was the same location as where Qu Xiujie came from.

“It can’t be, old auntie.”

Qu Xiujie was tired to the point of crying. Why was finding someone so difficult that even when he went to the person’s house, he could not get any useful information about him?

“Really, you have to trust me that CEO and Madam aren’t home today. If they were, I’d definitely agree to let you in but they aren’t so I can’t do so.”

Auntie Zhang said earnestly and even if Qu Xiujie waned to barge in, he heard it too.

“Alright, since they aren’t around. I’ll wait for him below his office. I don’t believe that he won’t appear.”

Qu Xiujie had no other choice but leave Ji family mansion in Murong Cheng’s car. He could not help but shudder at the thought of going to Ji Group.

“I say, bro, you can’t carry on anymore, right? You don’t even have the confidence to find Pei Ge or Ji Ziming and you’re telling me that you want to get them to your side.”

Murong Cheng drove as he laughed. Seeing that Qu Xiujie’s face was filled with disappointment, he did not find it funny anymore. He had not seen Qu Xiujie looking so despondent before.
