469 To Prove a Person Guilty, You Need Evidence. To Catch an Adulterer, You Need to Find Them on the Bed. 3

Fine, with those words alone, he understood that she had found out about his past.

It seemed like Ji Nuan knew all about the dubious relationship he had with his secretary, and the trouble that followed when his wife found out. In other words, Ji Nuan was completely uninterested in him. From the beginning, she had only approached for the sake of this contract. She was clearly borrowing the opportunity to raise her profits.

Furthermore, as he considered the ambiguous smile she had sent him earlier, he realized that if anyone had seen them, they would definitely misunderstand.

If Ji Nuan truly had her mind set on this, it was likely that his wife was already charging here.

He thought further and realized that Ji Nuan was likely the person who had spread the news of their meeting today to his wife.

In other words, the only person who could protect him now was Ji Nuan.

Or perhaps, they could only protect each other. The moment she let go of this without providing an explanation, his wife would definitely stir up more trouble.

But Ji Nuan wasn't wrong. These three hundred million yuan of profit were indeed a small sum to MN Group. It wasn't something to boast about.

There was truly no need for her to provoke this much trouble for a measly profit of fifteen percent.

CEO Zhang had navigated his way through the business world for many years. Yet, he was still thoroughly defeated by a twenty-four-year-old young lady. He couldn't even lose his temper and could only restrain himself. A friendly smile was still maintained on his face.

"Let me take another look at the contract and do some mental sums. If it's suitable, we can continue our discussion." CEO Zhang gave in but did not completely tie himself down with an agreement.

Ji Nuan placed the contract on the coffee table: "OK, CEO Zhang, take a look at it then. Call me when you're ready or let my assistant know. I'll head to the restroom for a while."

"Sure, sure. Feel free, CEO Ji."

Ji Nuan sat up. Xiao Ba and the other assistants did not move from the couch. After all, they did not know what intentions Ji Nuan truly had behind today's meeting. However, they kept feeling chills up their spine and felt that CEO Zhang's wife might show up to kill them anytime.

"Xiao Ba, hand me my bag," Ji Nuan said.

Xiao Ba quickly handed Ji Nuan's bag. Afterward, she watched as Ji Nuan indifferently, with no hint of anxiety whatsoever, entered the restroom in the private room.

The moment the restroom door was locked, a flurry of noises was heard outside. Xiao Ba and the other assistants sat on the couch, exchanging looks.

CEO Zhang knitted his brows when he heard the commotion outside. He immediately stood up, and with a guilty expression, he stealthily opened the door to reveal a small gap. After taking a glance, he immediately called the bodyguards outside, whispering: "The person causing trouble outside is my wife. You definitely cannot let her know that I'm inside. Even if she comes here, tell her that I've already left!"

The security guards were dumbstruck as they nodded. Outside, the commotion was growing louder.

At the thought that he had been schemed by Ji Nuan today, CEO Zhang gritted his teeth in anger. Originally, he thought he would take advantage of her company before it gained a stable foothold in Hai City and take more profits for himself. Who would have thought that after all his efforts, not only did he fail to gain any benefits, Ji Nuan actually made use of the scandal to return him a blow.

"Where is my husband? Earlier, didn't someone take a photo of him flirting with that vixen surnamed Ji right outside this KTV? Where are they? Get them to come out right now!" Outside, Mrs. Zhang held a cigarette as she shouted. Even though the bodyguards were holding her back, she still managed to charge her way in.

Hearing her angered voice from outside, the two colleagues by Xiao Ba's side squeezed close together and hid behind Xiao Ba's back to ask in worry: "What should do, she sounds so fierce..."

Xiao Ba turned to look at the restroom and softly answered, "CEO Ji should have a solution. Let's wait and see."

Although she was also rather nervous, when she recalled the way her boss appeared to have a card up her sleeve, Xiao Ba felt there wouldn't be any problems today.

Mrs. Zhang was still yelling outside. Various guards were rushing forward to stop her, but who would have thought that Mrs. Zhang had brought quite a crowd with her. No matter if it was men or women, clumsy ones, or well-trained ones, none of them could stop her. He could only listen as she raged her way in.

"The one named Zhang! You better come out now! You actually dare to have an affair right before my eyes! Do you not take this old woman seriously anymore?! You actually dared to come to a place like KTV!"

"Zhang Dahong! Get your ass out now!"

"Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, please don't be too agitated. CEO Zhang really isn't here. He already left earlier. Even if you look for him, you won't be able to find him. CEO Zhang has already..."

"Scram! Who do you think you are, you dare to lie to this old woman! I clearly saw that his car is still parked outside!"

"CEO Zhang drank some alcohol and took someone else's car home. Mrs. Zhang, don't head in any further. There are still customers in our private rooms. You'll affect our business, ah!"

"Scram!"

"Mrs. Zhang... you..."

"I asked you to scram! If you don't listen when I'm being polite, don't blame me for being rude! Scram!"

"Aiya, Mrs. Zhang, why are you beating people up..."

"Scram! If you don't scram, this old lady will cripple your legs!"

Outside, the group of bodyguards abruptly became quiet. The two colleagues by Xiao Ba's side appeared terrified.

What a fierce woman.

From the way CEO Zhang was urgently pacing about the room, it was clear that he was terrified of his wife. It was no wonder he never had to courage to do anything despite his lecherous appearance and the way his eyes kept flitting toward their CEO Ji. Today, CEO Ji had thin out his courage and even attracted his wife along.

"Sister Xiao Ba, will someone lose their life?"

Xiao Ba did not speak. She lowered her head and searched her bag for her phone. She considered if it was a good idea to call the police. At the very least, when the fight began, the police would prevent things from turning dire.

When she flipped through her bag, she suddenly found the heat pack she had previously offered Ji Nuan.

Xiao Ba instantly felt enlightened, as though she had understood Ji Nuan's intentions.

She did not search for her phone further. Instead, she closed her bag and turned back to CEO Zhang. "CEO Zhang, your wife sounds pretty amazing, ha."

CEO Zhang glared at Xiao Ba unhappily and said meaningfully, "Your CEO Ji is rather amazing as well." As he spoke, he made the gesture of a thumbs-up. His movements were slightly harsh, and he was also gritting his teeth. It was clear that he was angered and impatient.

Xiao Ba smiled with her eyes and did not say more.

"Zhang Dahong! If you still don't come out, this old lady will burn your company down! Come out!"

Mrs. Zhang had already neared this private room. When Xiao Ba heard her approach, even though she was sure that everything would be fine, goosebumps still covered her skin. CEO Zhang abruptly turned around to take two steps back. He was scanning the place fearfully as though looking for somewhere to hide.
