"What did you just say? This woman saved my precious great-grandson?" The old Madam Ou was completely incredulous, one hand supporting her cane, the other pointing at Xia Shiyi.
"Yes, at that ti it was indeed Xia Shiyi who brought the young master back. Thankfully, we had Miss Xia this ti..."
"Impossible!" The old Madam interrupted Team Leader Sun’s words, sizing Xia Shiyi up and down. "If I recall correctly, you once kidnapped my precious great-grandson. If it weren’t for Xiyan, you’d still be rotting in prison! And now you’re pretending to be a saint? Pretending to be kind? By the way, where’s Xiyan? Why isn’t she here? Wasn’t she with all of you?!"
"Xiyan?" Team Leader Sun and so colleagues exchanged confused glances. Who was this? They hadn’t heard of her before.
"Madam, from start to finish, it’s been Xia Shiyi who brought the young master back to us. There was no one else..."
The old Madam didn’t hold back at all, directly exposing Xia Shiyi’s past, which made her face turn pale and flush alternately, an absolutely unpleasant sight.
With a pitiful gleam in her eyes, Xia Shiyi raised her head and said softly, "Grandma, what happened in the past was my fault. I realize that now. This ti, think of it as my atonent, okay?"
The old Madam completely ignored her and instead turned her head to Ou Jue, who had just returned after finishing his call. "Where’s Xiyan? Did you get through to her?"
"Her phone’s off." Ou Jue’s expression was extrely grim.
The old Madam grew anxious. "How can her phone be off for no reason? Could sothing have happened to her? Keep calling!"
Ou Jue’s sharply defined lips pressed into a tight line, and he tugged at his collar irritably.
Suddenly, his gaze shifted back to Xia Shiyi, locking onto her once more. His tone was cold and harsh. "Where’s Xia Xiyan?"
A spark of glee flickered in Xia Shiyi’s heart.
After so much ti had passed, Xia Xiyan must have drowned by now.
"Young Master Ou..." Xia Shiyi feigned innocence on her face. "How could I possibly know? I didn’t see Xia Xiyan the entire ti. She’s probably still filming her show, right? During the shoot, they’re not allowed to use their phones, ah—"
Before she could finish, the boy in front of her suddenly grabbed her by the neck!
Ou Jue’s sharply contoured jaw was tightly clenched, his pitch-black eyes filled with a nacing gloom. His voice was ice-cold, "I’ll ask you one more ti—where. Is. Xia. Xiyan? You’d better not play gas with , or I’ll snap your neck right now!"
Such bloodthirsty, savage words.
Xia Shiyi’s inner defenses seed to collapse in an instant.
She forced herself to appear calm. "I really don’t know... After rescuing Ou Xiaoluo, I’ve been with him the whole ti..."
Her frail voice subtly underscored the point that it was her who had saved Ou Xiaoluo.
Damn it!
Ou Jue shoved her away with a fierce motion and stord off without looking back.
For so reason, an intense unease churned in his chest.
The inability to control this emotion made him violently irritable.
Never had he felt like this before.
The car roared as it sped down the street heading toward the TV Station.
With one hand on the wheel, Ou Jue skillfully put on a Bluetooth headset with the other and placed a call. As soon as it connected, he lashed out furiously, "She’s at the TV Station. How the hell could she just disappear? Search for her! Don’t leave a single corner unchecked!"
"I don’t have ti for your excuses. I’m arriving soon. If I don’t see her when I get there, you’re all fired!"
With that, he hung up the call with an angry snap.
