The car stopped outside the imposing villa. With guards stationed in layers both outside and inside, it was eerily intimidating.
Zhai Cheng and Song Ge got out of the car together.
Song Ge was actually quite worried. What if everything was exposed...
She slowly came to a halt, lost in thought.
Zhai Cheng noticed she'd stopped and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Song Ge bit her lip anxiously and asked, "What if all this is really related to your father? What will you do?"
Zhai Cheng was stunned. It was something he'd never thought about. Although his father didn't love him, he couldn't imagine his father wanting him dead. "I believe it wasn't him who did all this."
"I hope so," Song Ge sighed. Then they walked into the villa together.
Meng Yajing was first delighted to see them at this time, but then she was a bit puzzled. "Aren't you two supposed to be at work?"
"I missed you, so I came to see you," Zhai Cheng said awkwardly, his eyes darting elsewhere and his ears turning red.
Song Ge tried hard not to laugh. It sounded so strange hearing Zhai Cheng say such words. She thought he probably had never said this to Meng Yajing before.
Meng Yajing was shocked upon hearing this. She looked at Zhai Cheng in disbelief, then walked up to him and pinched his arm. "Are you really my son?" She looked like she was in a state of pleasant surprise.
Song Ge wanted to laugh even more but managed to hold it in.
Zhai Cheng's face darkened, but thinking of their purpose, he bit his lip and said, "Mom, I have something to tell you."
Seeing Zhai Cheng's expression, Meng Yajing instinctively glanced at Song Ge and automatically guessed what he was going to say. Then she smiled and said, "Let's go upstairs and talk. Song Ge, you can amuse yourself."
This was exactly what Zhai Cheng wanted. He didn't know how to find an excuse to get Meng Yajing away.
"Okay," Song Ge nodded.
The two went upstairs. Zhai Cheng stretched out his hand and made an OK sign with his long fingers.
Song Ge got the message and started to take action.
When Meng Yajing showed her around the villa before, Song Ge had specifically noted the location of the study, so she easily found it.
But when she gently pushed open the door and went in, she found that Zhai Qintian wasn't there.
Song Ge closed the door and walked around. She found that Zhai Qintian was in the garden, seemingly on the phone.
She hid quietly and vaguely heard the words "Do it cleanly."
After Zhai Qintian hung up the phone, he instinctively looked around. After making sure there was no one around, he entered the villa.
Song Ge followed him from afar. After seeing him enter the study, she walked over. She gently opened the door. Zhai Qintian was probably looking at some documents and didn't notice someone outside.
Song Ge pushed the door open and went in. Although she was a bit scared of Zhai Qintian, she forced herself to calm down.
When she closed the door, she deliberately left a crack.
Hearing the sound, Zhai Qintian didn't look up and continued what he was doing, thinking it was a servant.
But after a while, the person in front of him didn't move.
Zhai Qintian then looked up. Seeing it was Song Ge, he frowned, with a hint of anger. "What do you want?"
He didn't like this young girl very much. She always gave him a sense of unease.
"I already know what you've done," Song Ge said bluntly, not showing any sign of weakness in front of Zhai Qintian.
Zhai Qintian was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
In another room, after Meng Yajing and Zhai Cheng entered, she pulled him to sit down. "Are you here to discuss your wedding with Song Ge?" She had a mischievous smile on her face.
"Ah?" Zhai Cheng was first taken aback, then he nodded. "Yes."
Meng Yajing was extremely happy, with the smile reaching the bottom of her eyes. "I knew you liked Song Ge. I like this girl very much too." After a pause, she asked, "So what's your plan?"
Zhai Cheng's mind went blank. He casually said a few words, but Meng Yajing didn't agree and kept coming up with other ideas for him.
Zhai Cheng's gaze was always fixed on the door. He interrupted Meng Yajing and said, "I'll go and check on Song Ge. What if she gets lost?"
This was true. The villa was very big, and many places were decorated identically, so it was easy to get lost.
"Okay, go ahead," Meng Yajing said with a gentle smile. She thought Zhai Cheng couldn't wait to see Song Ge after just a short while.
Zhai Cheng quickly went downstairs and quietly walked to the outside of the study. Seeing the half - open door, he saw the figures of Song Ge and Zhai Qintian.
Just then, he heard Zhai Qintian say, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
He noticed Zhai Qintian's expression before saying this, and his eyes dimmed.
Song Ge knew that Zhai Qintian would find an excuse to deny it. She took out the materials she'd investigated recently from her bag and threw them in front of Zhai Qintian. "What else do you want to say?"
These materials had taken Song Ge a long time to investigate. She didn't tell Zhai Cheng because she was afraid it would be too much of a blow to him.
It was the first time Zhai Qintian had been treated like this, especially by a young girl. He was a bit angry for a moment. But when he saw some words on the materials, his eyes turned cold and fierce.
Song Ge was stunned and couldn't help shivering. She clenched her hands tightly. The pain of her nails digging into her palms reminded her to calm herself down.
Zhai Qintian stood up and slowly picked up the materials on the ground one by one, then put them all into the shredder.
"Even if you destroy these, I have thousands of backups," Song Ge said.
Hearing this, Zhai Qintian walked towards Song Ge step by step.
Watching the approaching man, Song Ge's heart raced, her breathing became rapid, and her palms were full of sweat.
Zhai Qintian was expressionless. His eagle - like eyes stared at Song Ge intently, as if he could bore a hole through her.
"I didn't expect a little girl like you to be able to investigate these things," he said word by word, and his words fell into Song Ge's ears.
Song Ge looked up fearlessly and met Zhai Qintian's gaze. "If you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place."
Zhai Qintian's words just now were actually an admission that he'd done all those things!
Outside the door, Zhai Cheng's body went stiff. His mind exploded. He'd always thought the person who wanted him dead was someone else, but it turned out to be his own father. How ridiculous! But why did his father do this?
Zhai Qintian sized Song Ge up, his eyes cold and gloomy, like a Shura from hell. "Do you think you can still walk out of this door alive after knowing these things?"
Song Ge instinctively took a step back and looked at Zhai Qintian in shock. "You're so cruel. Zhai Cheng is your son. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How could you do this to your own son!"
"What do you know! You're just a know - nothing little girl. How dare you accuse me!" Zhai Qintian was extremely emotional.
"Even if there are big grudges, he's still your son! How could you do this!" Song Ge really couldn't understand. Even she, an outsider, couldn't accept it, let alone Zhai Cheng.
The man at the door couldn't hear anything anymore. His face was ashen.
