Chapter 553 I Really Like You So Much, Let Me Kiss You
Once Mu Jiajiao left, Ji Wei removed the miniature listening device from her ear and tossed it onto the desk in front of her.The entirety of Mu Jiajiao’s phone conversation had been captured without missing a word.
"Assistant Chen, do you know a lawyer named Pei You?" Ji Wei turned to Chen Ke and asked.
"That Pei You is Tang Yi’s lover—a married man who runs an independent law firm here in Rongcheng." During the last visit to An Jue Bar, Mr. Gu had already exposed their affair, leaving no stone unturned.
It was precisely because of the evidence proving their adulterous relationship that Tang Yi, cornered and desperate, resorted to splashing acid.
"He told Mu Jiajiao that he has a way to deal with me. I’m quite curious what this supposed method might be," Ji Wei said slowly.
"Rest assured, Mr. Gu already has everything in place. Every single move of that lawyer is under our surveillance. I’ll contact them right away and find out what’s happening."
"Thank you," Ji Wei said with a smile. Fresh chapters posted on novel⸺fire.net
Chen Ke stepped aside a few meters, pulled out her phone, and started making a call.
...
Mu Jiajiao returned to her office, sat down, but still couldn’t shake the chill that gripped her limbs.
She had been so nervous in front of Ji Wei just now that it had almost driven her to the brink of panic.
She hadn’t anticipated that this fake heiress would possess such an overwhelming aura—it felt like she could be obliterated in seconds.
Feeling her throat dry and heart racing, Mu Jiajiao stood up, intending to go to the break area for a glass of water. She had barely taken a few steps when a hand suddenly extended and dragged her into the adjacent office.
"Manager Zhou, what are you doing?"
Mu Jiajiao was pressed firmly against the door by Manager Zhou, her body stiff as a board, and her voice trembled.
"Jiaojiao, I know you’re secretly close with Tang Yi. But she’s in deep trouble now, isn’t she? You must be terrified too," Manager Zhou said with a sinister tone. "With such a close relationship between you and her, do you think Mr. Gu will just let you off easy?"
"You... How do you know..."
Mu Jiajiao’s hair stood on end, her eyes widening as she stared at Manager Zhou.
He stared back, his gaze filled with malice. "I have my own way of finding out. I also know that the reporters who came to stir up trouble today—they were called in by you. But—"
At this point, Manager Zhou abruptly raised his hand and stroked Mu Jiajiao’s smooth face.
The coarse texture of his touch sent goosebumps coursing across her skin. She quickly turned her head to evade him.
As his hand failed to land, Manager Zhou sneered, "Jiaojiao, you should thank me. If I hadn’t destroyed the surveillance footage, you might already be exposed."
His gaze drifted downward, landing on the snow-white skin of the woman’s chest. With each breath she took, the enticing curves rippled for his greedy eyes, causing a tightening sensation in his lower abdomen.
Mu Jiajiao was utterly horrified, her voice trembling even more pronouncedly. "You... Why would you do that?"
"It was only to help cover for you," he replied.
Manager Zhou’s lips curled into a leering smile as he leaned closer. His thick lips, reminiscent of sausages, parted slightly as he spoke. "Jiaojiao, from the moment you joined the company, I’ve liked you. For three years, I’ve gone to great lengths to pursue you, yet you won’t even spare me a glance. Waiting for you has been so torturous..."
Suddenly grabbing her hand, Manager Zhou pressed it against his face marred by acne scars. "Be my girlfriend, won’t you?"
"Let go of me!"
Mu Jiajiao struggled with all her might, but she couldn’t break free.
"Jiaojiao, if you agree to be with me, I swear I’ll do everything in my power to bring down that fake heiress for you!" Manager Zhou declared passionately.
"Please, just let me go first, okay?" Unable to escape, Mu Jiajiao pleaded with tears brimming in her eyes.
"I really like you. Just let me kiss you once."
Mu Jiajiao’s cheeks flushed red, which only fanned the flames of the man’s desires. He pinned her arms down, his sausage-like lips inching ever closer to hers.
