“No need.” Shi Man took the ginger soup and drank it in one gulp. She said slowly, “Tell my father not to rush home. I have to go back to the company first. I still have some things to deal with.”
“Baby.” Shen Xian stopped her worriedly. “Something so big just happened today. It’s really too dangerous. Can you not go out? If there’s anything, get your brother to help you.”
Shi Man glanced at Yi Zheng and said softly, “Mom, it’s fine. Yi Zheng is with me. I’ll be fine.”
Shen Xian sized up the two of them in surprise. In the end, she nodded and said, “Alright, but if anything happens on the way, you must contact Mom.”
“Yes, I know.” Shi Man bade farewell to her mother and got into the car with Yi Zheng. Their destination was not the company, but the base of the Blood Oath.
This was the first time Shi Man had come to this place, so Sean and the others acted as guides.
Although it was dangerous this time, the Immaculate people were outnumbered. Fortunately, they had not relaxed their training during this period of time and only suffered some light injuries.
Shi Man looked at their wounds. They were indeed just superficial wounds that seemed terrifying. Only then was she relieved.
It was almost the end of the year. Even the mercenaries who were in the business of licking blood at the tip of their blades would want to relax.
Therefore, even though it was chaotic outside, the inside of the Blood Oath was still harmonious and peaceful.
This was the first time they, the mercenaries, had seen the future Madam. They were curious but did not dare to gather on both sides.
Yi Zheng’s expression was terrifyingly dark. Tang Zhe only glanced at him and was almost scared out of his wits. He hurriedly gestured for the people on both sides to retreat and very considerately blocked their view of Shi Man.
Only then did Yi Zheng’s expression soften. He brought her into his office and touched her small hand. “It’s so cold. It’s cold, right? I’ll get someone to make you a pot of hot tea.”
Shi Man paced slowly in the office and sized up her surroundings.
Yi Zheng didn’t come here often, but the room was clean. The huge desk was actually a little longer than hers. The desk was sorted and stacked with neat documents, as well as some small ornaments that matched Yi Zheng’s style.
The only pink crystal ball in the middle did not look like something Yi Zheng would buy.
She held the crystal ball in her hand suspiciously and looked at Yi Zheng strangely. “Is this yours?”
Yi Zheng was stunned for a moment, and a trace of shock flashed across his eyes. He nodded and said, “It’s mine. Why?”
Shi Man lowered her eyes and stared at the crystal ball for a long time before looking up. However, when her gaze met his probing and teasing eyes, she panicked for no reason.
Yi Zheng suddenly leaned close to her back and wrapped her in his arms. His tone was frivolous and sticky. “Are you jealous?”
Shi Man was about to retort when something flashed across her mind. The temperature of her hands and feet turned colder.
“Why would 1 be jealous of myself? Look at my brain. I gave this to you personally. I almost forgot.”
Yi Zheng looked straight into her quiet eyes, and the silent and strange atmosphere suddenly spread between the two of them.
When Tang Zhe came in with the teapot that had just been brewed, he happened to see the two of them looking at each other. He did not know what they were thinking, but a voice in his heart told him that if he did not run off now, he would probably not be able to escape!
He hurriedly put down the teapot and tried his best to reduce his presence. He wanted to stick to the wall as he left, pretending that he had never been here.
However, Yi Zheng still called out to him. His expression was as cold as ice. “Go down and prepare. We’ll attack the Hellgate tonight.”
“Yes!” Tang Zhe quickly straightened his attitude and walked out of the office hand in hand, quickly closing the door for the two of them.
Shi Man sat lazily in the office chair, still playing with the crystal ball. “1’11 go too.”
Yi Zheng immediately refused without thinking. “It’s too dangerous. I don’t care about going to Hellgate alone.”
“But there’s Nighthawk now.” Shi Man pointed out the biggest variable without hesitation. “If Hellgate asks Nighthawk for help again and the two groups join forces, are you confident that you can do it flawlessly?”
Yi Zheng knew this very well, but he would think of another way. “That won’t do either. I can send someone to work with Sean to stop their support.”
“Sean doesn’t have such ability.” Shi Man knew very well what her subordinates were capable of.
They had already exceeded their usual performance by successfully completing the mission today. It was mainly because Hellgate did not want to offend the Shi family that they did not use their full strength. However, there was a lot at stake with tonight’s matter. Nighthawk knew very well that they couldn’t afford to lose. They would definitely send many people.
However, no matter what, the Nighthawk people would not attack with all their might. Therefore, it could be easier to send Sean and the others to settle the matter. Even if they could not guarantee that they would return intact, they could definitely keep their lives.
This man really knew how to accommodate everything for her. Even if they were just mercenaries under her, he was willing to spare some effort to protect them and take all the firepower on himself alone..
