Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire Chapter 1651 - I am here; do not be scared

Chapter 1651: I am here; do not be scared

“You really resemble your father. Back then, your father said the same thing to me when my company was facing a crisis. It seems that the apple truly doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
Sire Nine merrily lauded. He, too, recovered from the shock earlier and could not stop praising the young chap.
By the time Ji Ziming sent the elderly CEO off, Pei Ge appeared from behind and asked, “So you’ve lost in our bet?”
“That’s right; I lost. I lost one night of mine.”
The man turned around and smiled at the woman. He looked at her with a new light. Is this silly girl still the person I know?
“You…”
Pei Ge was speechless but still said nothing.
Regardless if it was his night or hers, in the end, he would still do whatever he wanted with her. She suddenly felt that, even though she had won their bet, he would overturn the odds.
“For the time being, let’s resume our talk in the office; I’ll let you look at all of PYR’s details, including our company’s proposal for acquisition.
“Now you’re telling me that you planning to acquire YR is all just a rumor?”
Looking at his figure, it was her fault for not noticing that the rumors were baseless. If she were not with him today, she would not know that those rumors were false.
“What’s wrong? Are you angry?”
Looking at Pei Ge, Ji Ziming’s eyes turned tender as he gently held her hand. “That’s right; I didn’t tell you at first. That’s my fault, so don’t be angry, alright?”
Pei Ge intended to appear angry at first, but once she saw his doting look, she let out a laugh.
“You laughed so that means you aren’t angry anymore. Let’s go, then. After all, PYR is our main acquisition target. With you around, I can have a lot less worry.”
He held her hand. He exerted a bit of strength, and in the few seconds that she was in his arms, he gently planted a kiss on her forehead.
“Sure, let’s go.”
Pei Ge blushed as she looked at him, her lips curling upward subconsciously. Thinking that tonight was still a night for the two of them, the man smiled broader.
“Let’s go.”
He held her hand tightly as they entered the Ji Group.
When they entered the elevator, she quickly asked, “How’s Ji Miao?”
“She committed a crime, so she should receive her punishment. Who will be able to help her? Even whether it’s Sire Nine or me, we can’t do it. A person who made a mistake ought to pay for it. It isn’t that I’m not doing Sire Nine a favor, but do you know what it means for my name if she leaves the prison?”
Pei Ge only realized then that she did not consider the full picture and that Ji Ziming had already done so much for her.
“I don’t know, but what I’m sure of is that there’s a person behind Ji Miao. I just have no idea who that person is.”
“Don’t worry; with me around, I’ll help you find out. As for her, if she leaves the prison, your company’s confidential information won’t be safe anymore.”
The man put emphasis on the key point.
“Oh, right. On the second day of Ji Miao’s imprisonment, a person delivered a file to me, and it’s my company’s confidential information, though it’s just a portion of it. I suspect that it’s Ji Miao who had the document sent, so I intend to talk with her, but because of other matters, I haven’t gotten the chance yet.”
“Confidential data delivered to you?”
Ji Ziming’s eyes darkened and the smile slid off his face.
“Actually, the file was placed on my desk. I later found out that, when almost all employees had knocked off, someone entered my office, but the person didn’t seem to be a person working for my company.”
She recounted, suspecting that this person was somehow related to Ji Miao.
“It’s fine as long as the file is back. It’s your company’s backbone. Without it, it won’t matter even if the company has large funds. As for the remaining half, we must look for it fast. As long as any part of your company’s secrets haven’t been leaked, there will still be hope. As for the person who obtained the other half, he’ll most probably try to hurt Ji Miao, especially if she’s unwilling to say anything, so I’m afraid she’ll…”
There was an ominous feeling in Pei Ge’s heart, so she tugged at his sleeve and asked, “Hey, quickly get more people to ensure her safety. I’m worried that something will happen to her in prison.”
“Don’t worry; I’ll have He Yun arrange some people once I get to the office.”
Ji Ziming looked moved as he gazed at her.
“I’m here; don’t be scared.”
“Mhm. I trust you.”
Pei Ge pulled Ji Ziming’s hand. She felt a sense of security the moment their hands became intertwined. The comfort in her heart made her follow him on the most comfortable path.
Ding!
The elevator doors parted open, but before the man entered his office, his phone rang. It was an emergency call from He Yun.
“Sir, Ji Miao committed suicide in the prison.”
“Suicide?”
His eyes narrowed. Before he had time to instruct his subordinate to protect the lady, she had already committed suicide.
Standing beside the man, Pei Ge heard the word and stood rooted to the spot. She still remembered the ‘sorry’ and ‘thank you’ that Ji Miao had whispered to her when they arrested her at H City’s train station.
It seemed that it was only yesterday, and now the girl who thanked and apologized to her sincerely, had used the most foolish method to end her life.
“That’s right, sir. The doctor checked and said that there’s no way to save her for it’s already too late.”
He Yun sounded disappointed. Although Ji Ziming did not instruct him to protect that lady, he knew how his boss thought; the man did not plan to make it hard for her as she still had some use, but when she was rushed to the hospital, the police warden told him that Ji Miao had passed away.
“Cause of death?”
Ji Ziming’s eyes were frighteningly dark, just a wolf’s gaze when it was stalking prey in the dark.
“She slit her wrists. Sir, this is my fault. Please punish me.”
