On the top floor of S City hotel, Jin Yang shielded Qiu Tong behind him and nodded at Shao An. “Let’s begin.”
The entire hotel had been surrounded. All the entrances and exits of the hotel were strictly guarded by the presidential guards. Shao An led his team to break open the door of the suite and charged in. Everyone searched every room with guns, but they did not find any suspicious persons.
There were two bottles of red wine and champagne on the coffee table in the living room. The remnants of a cigar in the crystal ashtray was still burning.
Qiu Tong turned back. “He probably left a few minutes before we arrived at the hotel.”
Jin Yang frowned. Their operation this time was extremely secretive and last minute. No one should have been able to obtain any information in advance.
However, the other party was able to leave first, as if he was deliberately provoking them.
Qiu Tong gritted her teeth, wanting to find some clues about the other party in the suite. A guard found clues in the bathroom and ran out to report.
Jin Yang and Qiu Tong rushed over. Looking at the phone and satellite communication devices soaked in the toilet bowl, she reached out to pick them up.
Shao An opened a sealed bag and took the initiative to take the phone away.
Qiu Tong instructed solemnly, “You must repair it!”
Ring ring—Qiu Tong want try to find some hair or other evidence in the hotel bedroom. When she heard the phone ring, she picked it up and heard Ke Le’s nervous voice coming from the other end. “Boss, come back quickly.”
“A lady who calls herself Chen Jia is outside. She wants to see Jin Yang.”
Qiu Tong looked at Jin Yang and frowned slightly. She hung up the phone and asked, “Who’s Chen Jia?”
Jin Yang’s movements froze for a moment. After learning about the situation in the villa, he handed the hotel matter over to Shao An and rushed back with Qiu Tong.
In the car on the way back, Jin Yang gripped the steering wheel silently.
His phone kept vibrating. Qiu Tong rolled down the window and tilted her head to look at the night view outside.
Jin Yang cleared his throat and answered the call. He grunted in a perfunctory manner a couple of times before hanging up and explaining, “It’s my father.”
Qiu Tong recalled Jin Tao and nodded.
The two of them returned to the villa and saw Chen Jia standing in the courtyard in a simple white dress. Ke Le stood guard at the door and didn’t let her in.
Ke Le saw Qiu Tong and hurriedly ran up to her to explain the situation.
Qiu Tong said to Jin Yang, “I want to take a walk around outside. You guys can chat.”
Jin Yang opened his mouth to try and explain, but in the end, he could only nod. He strode over to Chen Jia and they whispered to each other. Chen Jia smiled brightly and sweetly. She took the initiative to hold Jin Yang’s elbow.
Qiu Tong felt a surge of frustration and turned around.
Ke Le could tell that there was something not quite right going on between Jin Yang and Chen Jia. He followed Qiu Tong closely. “Boss, if you want, I can help you chase that woman away!” His goofy expression made Qiu Tong’s gloominess dissipate a little.
Qiu Tong sat on a bench in the park and gestured for Ke Le to sit down.
Although Ke Le and Qiu Tong had a contractual relationship, he treated Qiu Tong as his leader and prioritized her needs and feelings over everything.
Qiu Tong looked up at the bright moonlight and asked indifferently, “Do you think we’re alike?”
Ke Le paused. To be honest, he did mistake Chen Jia for Qiu Tong in the first few seconds.
After all, Chen Jia was 80% similar to Qiu Tong in terms of appearance, but their personalities were very different. Ke Le was wondering how he should comfort her when Jin Yang walked over. He left with a knowing look, giving Jin Yang and Qiu Tong some time alone.
Jin Yang stood in front of Qiu Tong, who looked up at him. Their gazes met.
Jin Yang took off his jacket and draped it over her. “I might need you to tidy up a room and let her stay for a few days.”
Qiu Tong retorted with a laugh, “Why should I? My family isn’t a shelter.”
“You want me to let a woman move in with us, someone whom I don’t know at all, just because you say so? Don’t forget, you are the one staying at my house!”
“Jin Yang, get this straight. In my house, you’re not the president. You have no right to order me around!”
Qiu Tong stood up. Jin Yang grabbed her elbow and pulled her into his arms.
He placed his hand on the back of Qiu Tong’s head and sighed. “I know, but there’s no other way…”
“Chen Jia has nothing to do with me, but she came to me with a hospital report.”
“She is suffering from severe separation disorder and needs someone to take care of and accompany her. Father asked her to come and seek refuge with me. If anything happens to her, I will be held responsible.”
“And I feel that her appearance is very strange. It’s as if someone is deliberately pushing her to us. Instead of letting Chen Jia become a hidden bomb that can explode at any time, it’s better to keep her by our side. Even if she wants to do something, it will be easy to deal with her where we can see her.”
Jin Yang patiently persuaded Qiu Tong.
Qiu Tong felt a fire burning in her heart, but she could not vent it.
