Chapter 627: Conspiracy (1)

The man looked at Xiao Cui and raised his eyebrows. “It’s fine if you don’t want to go to jail. But you will have to agree to one condition of mine.”

Xiao Cui was slightly stunned and at a loss for a moment.

“Me?”

“That’s right.”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly felt strange. Xiao Cui gradually realized she was now part of the beginning of a conspiracy.

Then, Xiao Cui was taken to another room by two people. Xiao Song started to get a little worried.

Could it be that from the moment they slandered him for stealing the watch, it was already the beginning of their conspiracy?

But why him and Xiao Cui? What were these people trying to do?

Time passed slowy. And at Xiao Cui’s request, she was released at 11 o’clock in the afternoon and left the hotel.

“Xiao Cui, are you alright?!” Xiao Song rushed towards her anxiously with a worried face the moment he saw her.

Xiao Cui looked at him but her expression was a little gloomy and colorless, and her eyes were empty.

“I’m fine,” she said calmly. Her obviously troubled expression made Xiao Song worried.

“Xiao Song, I have to leave now.”

She seemed to have lost her soul. She turned around and left in a daze.

Xiao Song wanted to chase after her, but he was stopped by a man in black from behind.

“What did you do to her?!” Xiao Song was very angry, knowing that something was amiss with Xiao Cui. He wanted to retaliate, but he couldn’t do anything to the other party.

Hearing the commotion behind her, Xiao Cui suddenly turned around. “You’re not allowed to touch him!

“You said that as long as made the promist, you won’t hurt him!”

Looking at her, the man smiled sinisterly. “Don’t worry. As long as you settle the matter, I promise that I won’t hurt your lover. I also promise that he won’t go to jail or lose his job.”

Xiao Cui clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and left the hotel.

…

At the seaside villa.

In the living room, Zuo Weiyi looked at the clock on the wall as she sat on the sofa. It was already 11:16 A.M[1]., but Xiao Cui hadn’t returned yet.

She couldn’t help but be a little worried. She didn’t know what had happened to Xiao Song.

Just as she was thinking, she heard the courtyard door open.

She got up and walked to the door. Only then did she realize that Xiao Cui had returned.

“Xiao Cui, you’re back!”

Xiao Cui seemed to be completely immersed in her own thoughts. She didn’t notice Zuo Weiyi who was walking towards her. After hearing her voice, she suddenly raised her head, and her expression showed a moment of panic.

Then, she lowered her head, trying to hide her emotions in her heart and calm herself down.

“Madam.”

She responded softly and did not say anything else.

It was rare for her to have such an absent-minded expression. Zuo Weiyi could not help but worry about her.

“What happened to Xiao Song?”

Her concern made Xiao Cui’s heart burn in pain.

“He’s fine.” Xiao Cui responded and lowered her head again, as if she did not dare to look into Zuo Weiyi’s eyes.

Zuo Weiyi quietly stared at her delicate face. Her expression told her that something was wrong.

Or did she and Xiao Song quarrel?

“Are you really fine? You don’t look well.”

Hearing this, Xiao Cui raised her eyes and tried to hide her panic.

“No, nothing. I was just… a little startled.”
