Ye Si glared at Xi Zhimo furiously. “What are you doing?”

Xi Zhimo’s elegant brows furrowed slightly as he struggled internally for a while before saying, “You think my room is a place you can come and go as you please?”

“I didn’t do it on purpose.”

The man raised his eyebrows and looked at her meaningfully. “Really? You didn’t do it on purpose?”

Ye Si struggled to shake off his hand, but the more she exerted force, the more tightly he held onto her. She said angrily, “What do you want?”

“I want to hug you.”

Xi Zhimo practically revealed his true intention subconsciously.

Ye Si, on the other hand, found his response so ludicrous her ears almost exploded. Then she glared at Xi Zhimo as if he was a lunatic. “Are you out of your mind? ”

In the face of Ye Si’s icy and standoffish demeanor, the thumping in Xi Zhimo’s racing heart was ruthlessly extinguished.

He released her hand and muttered, as if to himself, “I guess so.”

He looked as if an abyss, full of darkness, and loneliness, had been torn from the depths of his eyes.

Ye Si had lived two lifetimes, but this was the first time she had seen Xi Zhimo act like this.

She felt as if a needle had pierced through the deepest part of her heart. She didn’t want to stay any longer, so she lugged the suitcases and strode away.

In the corridor outside, Lu Chengsheng was pacing around anxiously like an ant on a hot pan. When he saw Ye Si emerging from the room, he immediately rushed over.

“Leader, I’m so sorry. Due to the urgency of the earlier situation, my hand slipped and I pressed the wrong button.”

Ye Si threw the two suitcases at him and said in annoyance, “Your hand has really slipped at such a convenient location.”

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

“Forget it. Enemies are bound to cross paths eventually. Let’s go to another hotel!”

Lu Chengsheng’s brain was spinning. If his leader was complaining about enemies crossing paths, could it be that person again?

What kind of weird fate was this?

Lu Chengsheng followed Ye Si in a fawning manner and did not speak again.

Half an hour later, Ye Si booked a private room in another five-star hotel. As soon as she entered, she found a hairdryer to dry her hair.

Suddenly, Xi Zhimo’s hurt expression flashed across her mind intermittently. She felt very frustrated and annoyed, so she simply sat on the bed to meditate and cultivate.

Before long, a wall of white energy formed around her, and her long black hair cascading down like a waterfall fluttered gently in the ensuing circulating air currents, drying naturally.

Meanwhile, Xi Zhimo was lying on his back in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Number Nine?

Who was it?

Was it a man?

She actually checked into a room with a man?

When he thought of this, Xi Zhimo became furious instantly. He flung the blanket aside and got up. Then he picked up his phone to make a call to Cheng Yiqing.

Cheng Yiqing, who had just performed surgeries for one whole day and had just barely closed his eyes, answered the call listlessly. “Third Master, it’s so late. What’s up?”

Xi Zhimo paced back and forth in front of the window. He gave a disdainful cough and said, “How’s your investigation coming along?”

Cheng Yiqing was in a drowsy stupor and had no idea what Xi Zhimo was talking about. He could only reply carelessly, “What investigation?”

Xi Zhimo suppressed his anger and retorted sharply, “Is your genius IQ of 160 fake? You can’t even remember what you said yesterday?”

Cheng Yiqing could hear the anger in Xi Zhimo’s voice and quickly roused himself to try and recall. After a while, the realization hit him. “Oh, oh, oh! That matter! My schedule is very packed today and I haven’t had the time to investigate.”

“With such low work efficiency, the Cheng family’s business will be ruined in your hands sooner or later!”

Xi Zhimo said icily and ended the phone call brusquely.

On the other end of the line, Cheng Yiqing looked at his phone screen with an aggrieved expression. He almost burst into tears. He had been racing against time to save people’s lives the whole day. Things were not easy for him either!

After Xi Zhimo ended this call, he called Mu Feng and said in a chilly voice, “How’s the investigation of the person I told you to check on?”

Mu Feng was a little confused after hearing this. “Mr. Xi, we went straight to the airport after you gave me your instruction on this matter today, so I haven’t had the time to investigate.”

“If you don’t have the time, why can’t you instruct your subordinates to do it? You’ve been with me for so long and you can’t even handle such a simple matter?”

“Yes, Mr. Xi. Please calm down. I’ll order someone to investigate at once.”

“Hang on! Check more carefully if there’s a man by the name of ‘Number Nine’ in the Empire Capital and Herlesburg. Give me an answer by tomorrow!”

“Understood!”

After ending the phone call, Xi Zhimo flung his phone angrily on the bed and got down on all fours to do push-ups on the floor.

He was really about to explode from anger!

Why were these people’s work efficiencies so low?

A moment later, he sprang up from the floor and muttered to himself, “What on earth am I doing? I must be crazy!”
