Chapter 517: Chapter 515 Great Risks
Lu Zhaozhao hadn’t considered that if Xiao Mo didn’t fall for it, it might expose her instead.
After all, there weren’t many people Feng Jiyue could rely on to work at Song Group, and such an obvious clue could easily reveal Lu Zhaozhao’s involvement.
Listening to Song Sinian’s analysis, Lu Zhaozhao hung her head even lower.
She had to admit that Song Sinian had guessed everything correctly—that was exactly what she had been thinking.
But she hadn’t planned to tell Song Sinian everything.
She hadn’t even thought about bothering him with such trivial matters.
Now that Song Sinian had asked, it made her feel somewhat guilty.
Lu Zhaozhao lay sullenly in Song Sinian’s arms without saying a word, and naturally, he noticed her silence.
He gently patted her back with his large hand and said softly, "I know you want to help share the burden, and I won’t stop you, but you should at least let me know, okay?"
Song Sinian didn’t intend to tell Lu Zhaozhao about the flaws in the plan; if she wanted to do something, he would support her. As for any oversight, she didn’t need to worry about them.
He would take care of it all for her.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaozhao looked up at Song Sinian, whose deep-set eyes were like an ancient well—one look could plunge someone into the depths.
Without much thought, she nodded, "I understand, I won’t do this again."
As she spoke, Lu Zhaozhao raised her little head and gently kissed Song Sinian’s chin.
She blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at him with a hint of trepidation, igniting a fire deep inside him.
Song Sinian’s dark eyes slightly dimmed before he lowered his head and kissed her.
Unlike before, Song Sinian didn’t stop at a light peck. Instead, he kept brushing his lips against hers until she was lying softly in his arms, satisfied. Then, he placed her directly on the bed.
Looking at the person with moist eyes in his arms, Song Sinian felt his heart fill to the brim, and he pressed her firmly onto the bed.
He kept entwining with her for most of the night, and even though the person in his arms cried softly, pleading for mercy several times, he swallowed each plea.
Not until he had thoroughly exhausted her to sleep did Song Sinian take her to the bathroom and cleaned her up.
Watching Lu Zhaozhao lying on the bed, her peaceful sleeping face gave him a sense of immense satisfaction.
He sat by the bed and looked at Lu Zhaozhao deeply for a while before standing up and walking toward the separate room.
Sitting on the couch in the partitioned area, he dialed Zhao Xi’s number, and soon someone picked up on the other end.
"Hello? Sir, what do you need?"
Zhao Xi was clearly still groggy with sleep, as if he had just awakened from a dream.
Song Sinian’s brows furrowed slightly as he said in a low voice, "Keep a close watch on Xiao Mo and Feng Jiyue these next few days."
Zhao Xi was clearly startled; he was already keeping tabs on these two. Could there be some recent developments he wasn’t aware of?
"Sir, have they done anything out of line recently?" Zhao Xi asked, puzzled.
Song Sinian saw no need to hide anything from Zhao Xi, "Hao Li came to the Song Mansion today."
This was something Zhao Xi and Song Sinian knew about first thing in the morning.
That was why Song Sinian went straight to asking Lu Zhaozhao.
Zhao Xi’s brow instantly furrowed, "That woman doesn’t really think Old Master Song will actually advocate for her, does she?"
They knew about Feng Jiyue being played by Xiao Mo.
After all, that was originally the plan of their lady and the Xia Family.
It just never occurred to them that Hao Li would be so foolish.
With Feng Jiyue outmaneuvered by Xiao Mo, they lacked the strength to fight back and could only pin their hopes on Old Master Song.
Song Sinian lifted his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Hao Li and the others, they want Old Master Song to arrange a job for Feng Jiaye, and Zhaozhao has already agreed."
Zhao Xi almost instantly understood what Song Sinian meant.
He contemplated for a moment, then said indifferently, "Sir, should we also dispatch additional bodyguards for madam’s side?"
With Xiao Jinglan on Xiao Mo’s end, who was close to death, the situation was already quite tricky—after all, a person on the brink of death doesn’t have much to lose.
Now that Feng Jiaye had been bullied into such a state, he probably was going to stir up trouble.
Neither side could be handled lightly, as both were great risks.
Given their sir’s affection for madam, he would absolutely not allow anyone from either side to pose any threat to her.
Song Sinian gently "hmm"ed, "Certainly, we should deploy more people; we must ensure that nothing goes wrong on Zhaozhao’s end." 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
"I understand, sir; rest assured. Tomorrow morning, I’ll make the arrangements," Zhao Xi replied.
"Hmm."
...
The night was silent and desolate.
In the brightly lit hospital corridor, a figure slowly appeared outside the VIP ward.
The figure hesitated for a long time before entering the room.
"Jiaye? Are you asleep?"
The person entering spoke softly, and seeing that the lights inside the ward were off, her voice became even quieter.
The person standing in the doorway saw that there seemed to be no movement inside the ward; she took a light breath, about to step back out, when suddenly, a mocking voice came from inside the room.
"You actually remember to come to the hospital so late."
In the darkness, the person sitting by the bed revealed a pair of shining eyes, startling Hao Jiayi, who stood at the door.
She had just walked over from the bright corridor and couldn’t adjust to the dark environment immediately, let alone see clearly what was inside the room.
She thought with the lights off, Feng Jiaye might have already been asleep.
She intended to call out as a mere formality from outside; if Feng Jiaye didn’t respond, she could just leave right away.
That way, even if Feng Jiaye got angry later, he wouldn’t be able to find any fault with her.
That’s what she had planned, but to her surprise, Feng Jiaye was still awake, even at this late hour.
Hao Jiayi cursed inwardly, but she dared not show it on her face.
She hurried into the room, forcing a slight smile, "How could that be? Brother Jiaye, I will come over later today; I had already told Aunt Hao. I thought Brother Jiaye had already gone to sleep. I didn’t want to disturb your rest, so I didn’t dare to speak loudly."
In the dark room, Feng Jiaye’s gaze upon Hao Jiayi grew even more gloomy.
Hao Jiayi felt her heart sink.
Back when Feng Jiaye was well, of course, she knew how to handle this man, but the methods she had for manipulating men were no longer effective on him.
Because what he had lost was exactly what she could leverage.
Seeing Feng Jiaye remain silent, Hao Jiayi continued to ask, "Brother Jiaye, should I turn on the lights?"
Feng Jiaye watched Hao Jiayi with cold eyes and gave a slight nod.
Seeing Feng Jiaye’s response, Hao Jiayi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as this man was still willing to communicate with her, the problem might not be too serious.
She thought since Feng Jiaye still needed to use her, he probably wouldn’t act rashly.
Of course, Hao Jiayi was aware of Feng Jiaye’s propensity for violence; she had been beaten by him more than a few times...
