Illegal District, Tian Chenâs HQ.
It wasnât that Jian Jin didnât see Qiao Nianâs message. Instead, she read the message immediately after Qiao Nian sent it.
However, after reading the message, Jian Jinâs expression became complicated and depressed. She didnât reply for now.
Only the sound of pens scratching could be heard in the huge office on the top floor.
Jian Jin stared at her cell phone. After a long time, she took a deep breath, put the phone away, and looked at the man behind the desk.
âQiao has asked me.â
The man sitting behind the black and dull desk looked outstanding. His aura wasnât inferior to Ye Wangchuanâs, and he had a fragile beauty.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Compared to Ye Wangchuanâs arrogance, he looked more gentle.
Unfortunately, it was just his appearance.
Lu Zhi wasnât gentle at all. Instead, he was the other extreme of gentlenessâextremely cruel.
The pen stopped when he heard the word âQiaoâ. He only paused for a few seconds before going back to the documents. It was as if he didnât care about her. âSheâs asking you, not me.â
Look at what he was saying!
If not for growing up with him, Jian Jin wouldnât have been able to tell he was interested in the girl.
Jian Jin tried her best to sound calm as she spoke. âQiao will definitely be sad if she finds out about Ji Lingfengâs situation.â
Lu Zhi put down his pen and looked up at her expressionlessly. His smile was gone, and he looked as cold as he could. âDoes it have anything to do with me?â
Jian Jin choked on her words and took a deep breath before continuing. âYouâre not going to help?â
Sitting in the wheelchair, Lu Zhi placed his hands quietly on his knees. A blanket covered his legs, which were practically dead.
He lowered his eyelashes and gripped the blanket until the veins on the back of his hand bulged, as if he was restraining himself. âSheâll come to me for help if she really canât hold on.â
ââ¦â
Jian Jin didnât know how to criticize him. She asked speechlessly, âDo you think with Qiaoâs personality, she would ask you for help?â
With Qiao Nianâs personality, even if she caused a ruckus with Nie Qingru⦠she probably would not ask the Boss for help. But he didnât even consider that.
The point wasâQiao wasnât like that!
In this aspect, Bossâs rival understood much more than him. He never did such things.
However, because Boss was physically disabled, his personality became twisted and stubborn in this aspect. He was stubborn to the end.
âWhy do you insist on Qiao asking for your help?â Jian Jin really couldnât understand this.
Lu Zhi did not answer her. He said the same thing, âIf she really needs my help, sheâll tell me herself.â
He refused to cooperate, and Jian Jin couldnât do anything to him. She could only hold her anger inside, with nowhere to vent it.
Lu Zhi brought up something else at this moment. âBy the way, the person I got you to keep an eye on⦠has she made a move?â
Jian Jin was always focused when it came to serious matters. She blinked before remembering who Lu Zhi was talking about, then immediately said, âNot yet.â
âThen continue keeping an eye on her.â Lu Zhi smiled. He looked so refined and gentle, but he was cold and cruel in his bones. His smile did not reach his eyes at all. He crossed his hands on his lap and slowly said, âYou have to be patient if you want to catch prey. You canât alert the enemy.â
