467 To Prove a Person Guilty, You Need Evidence. To Catch an Adulterer, You Need to Find Them on the Bed 1

“Boss! There’s trouble!”

Inside MN Group’s office, Ji Nuan had just returned from a meeting with a partner. She had only sat down for a moment when Xiao Ba ran in, clutching a newspaper in her hands.

“What are you going on about? You’re already an adult. The past few years in England should have toughened you up. Why are you always bustling about impatiently?” Ji Nuan glanced at her in displeasure.

“Aiya, we’re really in trouble!” Xiao Ba slapped a newspaper onto the table. “Look, previously, when you had your meeting and dinner with the city leaders, did this CEO Zhang take advantage of you? Someone took a photo of him touching your hand and sold it to the media. Right now, the finance news channels are fully dominated by your scandal. They’re saying that you slept your way to the top. The whole business world is gossiping about you. Soon, your previous marriage with CEO Mo will surely be revealed as well...”

Ji Nuan finally picked up the newspaper.

“This photo clearly takes advantage of the angle to create a false impression. CEO Zhang indeed sat by my side, but at the time, I was simply passing him a toothpick. That toothpick was too small and can’t be seen clearly. It’s simply the angle making it appear as though I took the initiative to hold his hand.” Ji Nuan’s expression was unchanged.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Of course, I know it’s a problem of angle. I’ve seen all of the men you rejected. Although you always act appropriately at business gatherings, you’ve never been taking advantage. Someone is clearly jealous of our MN Group and intentionally tried to target you. But I heard that CEO Zhang had a famous fierce wife. In the past, her family was loan sharks, and she is especially tyrannical. Although the media can easily be suppressed with some money, to stop them from spreading these false facts, CEO Zhang’s wife isn’t easy to deal with. Earlier, I heard from the security that a group of people came to splash two buckets of dog’s blood outside our entrance. They stood outside and shouted that you’re a vixen...”

“Is that so? Things are so lively?” Ji Nuan’s expression was completely different from Xiao Ba’s impatient and worried one. She lifted one corner of her lips and approached the window to glance downward.

“You can’t see it anymore. Security has already driven them away. But those people were definitely caught on cameras by passersby. I’ve already greeted the media, but I’m afraid that CEO Zhang’s wife will be irrational and continue stirring up trouble. Even if we’re able to calm down the media, the private nonsense won’t come to an end.”

“CEO Zhang’s wife is that fearlessly brave?”

“She isn’t just fearless. I heard that two years ago, CEO Zhang really had an affair. Apparently, he left for a business trip with his secretary, and, on the way back, the two of them hugged intimately in the car for a while. Afterward, when his wife found out, she charged into the company during office hours and tore off all of the secretary’s clothes in front of the public. She even used a whip and gave her a serious beating. She was naked at the time, and I heard that even her chest was covered in wounds. A lot of police officers had to be summoned to stop her. Otherwise, I suspect that the secretary would have been beaten to death.”

Ji Nuan raised her brows, deep in thought.

It seemed like she was truly a formidable, reckless, vicious, and merciless person that no one dared to provoke. If this misunderstanding were not cleared, it would be difficult for Ji Nuan to tread comfortably in Hai City from here on.

“Isn’t Feng Ling quite free in America recently? Should we let her come accompany you for few months?” Xiao Ba asked.

“There’s no need. She’s still being held down by Nanheng. There’s no way she’ll be able to come. There’s also no need to look for her for these sorts of small matters.”

“Then what should we do? Should we arrange for some bodyguards to follow you?”

Ji Nuan glanced at Xiao Ba with a smile. She picked up the newspaper for another look. From the photo, it indeed appeared as though she had taken the initiative to hold CEO Zhang’s hand. From the side angle, her smile was radiant. She was also sitting very close to CEO Zhang. Things truly appeared rather intimate.

She placed the newspaper back down and said, “Help me invite CEO Zhang out. Say that I’ll be waiting for him at the karaoke place near our office.”

Xiao Ba watched her with a dumbstruck expression: “What sort of timing is this? Shouldn’t we be avoiding suspicion at this time? You actually want me to help you invite CEO Zhang? And you want to meet him personally? In a karaoke place?”

Ji Nuan glanced at her. “Don’t you know to bring more people from our office? Ming Hai Company can be considered one of our stable partners. Firstly, I can’t throw away my reputation. Secondly, I can’t destroy the contract between the two companies and completely ruin our relations with them.”

“Then why are you...”

“Don’t ask so many questions. Do as I say.”

Xiao Ba pursed her lips. “If I help you to contact CEO Zhang, he will definitely show up. He doesn’t care that much. Even if he really has an affair, his wife will only give the other party a good beating. She won’t do anything to him. I can tell that CEO Zhang has been interested in you for quite a while. For the opportunity to be intimate with you, I’m sure he’ll show up happily regardless of the risk.”

“It’s even better if he is willing to show up. It will take less effort on our part.” Ji Nuan tossed the newspaper into the wastepaper basket. “Do as I tell you. Tonight, I’ll head to KTV with CEO Zhang. All you have to do is contact the person. Return to your work. Don’t be influenced by this sort of thing.”

Xiao Ba truly could not understand Ji Nuan’s intentions. However, after considering, she felt that Ji Nuan was rarely ever taken advantage of. She always had her own plans in her mind. Furthermore, that beautiful face of hers had provoked the jealousy of countless women. Even abroad, there would often be women discussing her false scandals behind her back.

It’s the taller trees in the woods that get their tops blown off. A person who stood in too tall of a position, and was far too beautiful, would often draw in others who wished to challenge her.

“Then I’ll send more bodyguards tonight and arrange for our male employees to attend. I’ll have my assistants accompany you as well.”

“There’s no need for that. Bring the people we usually bring when we discuss partnerships with CEO Zhang. The main point is to appear natural. Don’t make it seem as though we’re heading in for a fight.”

“...all right.”

Weren’t they heading in for a fight?

Xiao Ba scratched her head and noticed the hot water bottle Ji Nuan had left on the office couch. She approached and picked it up. “Boss, is your great-aunt here? Does your tummy ache? Do you want me to go boil some brown sugar water for you?”

“All right.”

“The hot water bottle is too heavy. I have heat packs that you can use.”

Ji Nuan waved her arm. “Head back to work first. I’m not as weak against the cold as I used to be. It doesn’t hurt that badly. Some brown sugar water will be sufficient.”

Xiao Ba did not say more. She kept away the heat packs she was about to bring out and carried the hot water bottle away to go boil some brown sugar water.
