Chapter 282: You Can Walk Sideways on My Turf 1
Bai Jiusi’s slender fingers were tightly clenched. Setting aside these concerns for the moment, obtaining the original "Heavenly Auspiciousness" is the top priority. So, she headed to Xingguang Island overnight.
Unfortunately, Liangliang spent all her days inside the palace, which was heavily guarded, making it impossible for her to get hold of Liangliang’s phone.
The opening ceremony was less than two weeks away, and she still needed to set aside time to practice her dance. Bai Jiusi became anxious and stressed, her mind consumed with finding a way to get the video.
DING. A brilliant idea suddenly struck Bai Jiusi. I’ve got it!
「...」
After spending several days gathering all the necessary documents and information, Si Mingjing went to the Municipal Hall on Xingguang Island, also known as Yecheng, to register her company.
Yecheng wasn’t part of any country. It was a private island purchased by Ye Junqing, making him the supreme ruler and owner of the entire island. All the government departments on the island were under his command.
Among them, the mayor of Yecheng’s Municipal Hall was Ji Qishu. He was a longtime friend of Ye Junqing and also his subordinate. After Ye Junqing came to Yecheng to develop it, several old friends followed him to help build it up. Now, they were all veteran senior officials in Yecheng.
When Si Mingjing went to handle her registration, Ye Junqing gave her Ji Qishu’s number and told her to contact him directly at the Municipal Hall.
Under Ji Qishu’s care, every department granted her a fast track, and within a day, all the necessary procedures for registering her company were completed.
After completing the procedures, she wanted to drive home, but in the underground parking lot, she discovered her car had been sprayed with colorful paint.
Someone had used paint to spray a word on the hood of the car: "SLUT!"
On the left car door, it read: "GET RUN OVER AND DIE!"
On the right car door, it read: "MISTRESS’S DEDICATED RIDE!"
Si Mingjing stood before the car, her expression grim.
Who did this?
Just then, a few people passed by. They glanced at the writing on the car and then at her, their expressions growing meaningful, as if they had concluded she was a mistress who had been retaliated against by the wronged wife, hence the vandalism.
This is a supercar that looks immensely valuable. How could she, a young woman, possibly afford it?
She must be a mistress!
Si Mingjing’s expression turned stern, her composure faltering for a moment.
The palace parking lot holds many cars. I randomly chose one to drive. Even I can’t remember what it looks like and need to press the key fob to find it. How could others accurately determine it’s my car?
Could it be that someone was targeting a mistress and mistakenly sprayed the wrong car?
This was Si Mingjing’s first thought. After all, she had just arrived in Yecheng, a stranger in a new place, and was unlikely to have made enemies with anyone.
"Oh my God, is this woman a mistress? Is she being retaliated against?"
"Such an expensive car! TSK TSK, the wife must be furious!"
"Death to all mistresses and their families! She looks human but doesn’t act like one. What a slut!"
Several young men and women nearby were taking photos of her and the car, cursing and muttering while they recorded short videos.
One of them narrated while recording, "Everyone, look! This woman is a mistress, and she’s been retaliated against by the wife. A supercar worth tens of millions, look at it now! TSK TSK..."
They’re probably planning to upload these videos online to get views.
Si Mingjing turned, her expression stern as she faced the young man. "Delete the video immediately, or I will take legal action."
"TSK TSK, feeling bold, are we? Does being a mistress make you this arrogant? My dad works in the Finance Department of the Municipal Hall. You’re going to sue me? HAHA, what a joke!"
"Really? What’s your dad’s name?"
Si Mingjing was never one to be easily bullied. Since they want to use power to oppress me, let’s see whose connections are stronger!
In any case, I can’t let these photos or videos get online today. It would not only damage my reputation but also tarnish the Ye Family’s name.
"I’ll tell you his name, it’ll scare you to death! My dad is Lai Gan!"
Si Mingjing memorized his father’s name and made a call. "Uncle Ji, it’s me, Si... The material approval went very smoothly, thank you, Uncle Ji. I was just about to leave the Municipal Hall when I ran into a little trouble in the parking lot... It’s nothing major; I wouldn’t dare trouble you to handle it personally. However, I heard there’s someone named Lai Gan in the Finance Department. I’d like to trouble you to ask him to come down and discipline his son properly."
After Si Mingjing made the call, the cocky young man who was recording the video was instantly dumbfounded.
"Who... who did you call?"
Si Mingjing’s expression was indifferent, her aura intimidating. "Mayor Ji of the Municipal Hall."
"Wha-what?" The young man was so frightened his hand trembled.
Si Mingjing gestured with her chin, her phoenix eyes narrowed. "Now, I’ll give you one minute to delete the video, and all the photos the rest of you took."
"Okay, okay, okay! I’ll delete it, right now!"
The young man was terrified. He not only deleted his video but also made his companions delete all their photos before they all slunk away.
After taking a few steps, the young man received a call from his father, who chewed him out.
Feeling indignant, the young man turned back and glared viciously at Si Mingjing. Nowadays, even mistresses have such strong backing! It’s infuriating! Is there any justice left in this world?
Si Mingjing ignored him. She noticed surveillance cameras in the parking lot and decided to go to the security room to find out who was responsible.
The surveillance showed it was a woman.
The woman was dressed entirely in black, wearing sunglasses and a black face mask, completely covered from head to toe.
Si Mingjing also discovered that while she was arguing with the youths, the woman in black had been standing nearby, watching with amusement. Only after the youths apologized did the woman in black turn and leave.
Ji Qishu didn’t know exactly what had happened to Si Mingjing. By the time he rushed to the underground parking lot, Si Mingjing had already returned from the security room.
Ji Qishu asked her, "Si, what happened?"
"Nothing, just that my car was sprayed with paint."
Leading the way, Si Mingjing brought Ji Qishu to the vandalized car. "It’s this one."
When Ji Qishu saw the horribly defaced luxury car, his brows furrowed deeply. "Who did this?"
"I don’t know. On the surveillance, I only saw a woman in black, and she’s already left."
I initially thought it was a wronged wife targeting a mistress and they’d sprayed the wrong car. But the surveillance footage showed the woman in black intently watching my argument with those youths, as if enjoying a show. It was clearly aimed at me.
For now, I can’t guess who’s targeting me.
This woman must have some connection to Mo Yinhe.
Could it be Bai Jiusi?
I caused Qu Gaoyang to break an arm, and he’s Bai Jiusi’s fiancé.
According to the wedding schedule, Bai Jiusi and Qu Gaoyang’s wedding is next week. Now that her fiancé’s arm is broken, it would be unbelievable if Bai Jiusi didn’t hate me. Even I wouldn’t believe it.
However, with no proof for the time being, Si Mingjing refrained from making any rash judgments.
