Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Meng elegantly held a glass of red wine and looked at Jiang Boyan. Her eyes were full of confusion. “Hello, May I ask… Who are you?”

Everyone’s eyes changed. If such a swindler could sneak into such a luxurious hotel like Jinjiang, the security guards should really shoulder the blame and resign.

“Lying is not a good habit.” Liu Xin looked at Jiang Boyan provocatively.

‘Lying?’

Jiang Boyan sneered and ignored Liu Xin.

“So which one of you is her friend?”

Jiang Meng’s face was full of confusion. She acted as if she really did not know Jiang Boyan.

The girl next to Liu Xin immediately said, “Mengmeng, you didn’t notice what happened earlier, right? This girl sneaked into Jinjang and tried to get a free meal on the 21st floor, but she was caught by Liu Xin.”

“Heh, after we realized something was wrong, she still tried to stuff more food into her mouth. How shameless.”

Liu Xin’s eyes were filled with pride, as if she had already trampled Jiang Boyan under her feet.

“What’s wrong with the security of Jinjiang Hotel? How can such a stinky beggar be allowed in?”

“It’s so disgusting. I can’t even take a look at such a person.”

For a moment, there were all kinds of nasty words.

Jiang Boyan stood opposite Jiang Meng, her expression was unchanging. She wanted to see how far Jiang Meng’s shoddy acting could go.

Jiang Meng wore a smile that belonged to the victor. She waited for a long time before she spoke, her beautiful eyes were filled with embarrassment. “I’m really sorry for making everyone endure such an unbearable thing. I’ll tell the hotel manager to make more food and replace all the previous dishes.”

“Then what about this stinky beggar? Mengmeng, don’t tell me you want to let her go?” Liu Xin looked at Jiang Boyan with disdain.

Jiang Meng smiled gently, she looked at Jiang Boyan. “This poor lady, I believe you didn’t mean to ruin my birthday party. I’ll ask the waiter to pack some of the food that you touched just now. Can you please leave now?”

Did she really treat her as a beggar?

Jiang Boyan still had no expression on her face, but her black eyes seemed to be frozen.

“Mengmeng, you are too easy to talk to. If you don’t teach this kind of woman a lesson, she will do it again in the future.”

“Miss Jiang Meng is really gentle.”

“Mengmeng, let’s hand her over to security.”

For a moment, there were all kinds of comments. It was as if everyone was filled with hostility directed at Jiang Boyan.

Jiang Meng stood in the middle of the dance floor, enjoying being looked at with admiration and love by everyone.

There was a social gathering in the VIP room on the top floor of Jinjiang.

The decorations in the room were extremely luxurious. Even the tables were gilded. The men at the tables smiled and toasted to the young man in the main seat.

Under the bright lights, Ji Han held the wine glass impassively. He had already taken off his gray suit jacket, revealing the black shirt underneath. The sleeves rolled up to reveal the beautiful lines of his arms. His muscles could make someone go weak at the knees. The man’s handsome face looked like it was sculpted by the Creator himself.

A man who was more than 50 years old stood up with a wine glass in his hand. “Director Ji, you are our backbone. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to do business at all. After this, please take care of us and leave us some scraps as we follow in your footsteps..”

Upon hearing this, Ji Han even directly placed the glass of wine on the table, completely disgracing the man.

That man’s face was filled with embarrassment, but he did not dare to do anything else.

“You’re making a toast to me? Are you thinking of doing something so that I can never be reincarnated again?” Ji Han’s cold gaze swept across everyone present, and the pressure on him instantly dissipated.

All the men present were frightened to the point that they broke out in cold sweat. “Director Ji, where did this come from?”

“The hawker street, a female assassin, do you need me to give you more clues? Who set this up? Step forward yourself. Don’t force me to use my methods.”

Ji Han placed his hand on the glass and lightly tapped the wall of the glass with his fingertips. The men’s hearts also trembled along with this crisp sound.

“What assassin?”

“Are you alright?”

“Director Ji, you know me. I definitely wouldn’t dare to hurt you Director Ji.”

The men stood up and expressed their sincerity one by one.

Ji Han chuckled, and everyone instantly quieted down. One could hear a pin drop in that private room, and everyone’s gaze was focused on the devil-like man on the main seat.

Ji Han stood up, he arrogantly swept his gaze across everyone present. “It seems that with me around, it won’t be easy for all of you to collate your confessions. Then I’ll go out for a walk. When I come back, either all of you will come up with a perfect lie, or the real murderer will stand up and admit everything.”

Ji Han turned around and was about to leave, but he stopped the moment he opened the door of the private room. “Do you really think that I invited you here without proof?”

After saying that, he walked out. The metal door was slammed shut like a guillotine. The men could practically hear the sound of the guillotine slicing their heads off.

Everyone looked extremely terrified.

Someone reacted and wanted to follow Ji Han out, but Yan Xiu stopped him. He looked at everyone in the room with a warning look, and then left with Ji Han.

The design of the Jinjiang Hotel was very unique. Every corridor led to the hall, so one could also see the scenery of the hall at a glance.

Ji Han took two steps and stopped as if he saw something. He walked to the railing beside the corridor and tilted his head to look down.

It was always cold at night in the capital city, not to mention that this was the top floor. No matter how well the insulation was done, it was still stained with a trace of coldness.

Yan Xiu handed Ji Han a coat. Seeing that he had not moved for a long time, he could not help but follow Ji Han’s gaze.

It was the entrance to the hall on the 21st floor. Ji Han seemed to be looking at the two posters that should not have appeared at the entrance. On the two childish posters was the daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Meng, whom Yan Xiu had met when he was investigating the Jiang family.

As they looked at the hall, they realized that two people seemed to be arguing. One of them was Jiang Meng from the posters, and the other..

Yan Xiu rubbed his eyes in disbelief. “Shouldn’t she be in Hibiscus Garden?”

Yan Xiu could not help but look at Ji Han, but there was not a hint of surprise in his eyes.

What was going on?

Wasn’t that girl mentally ill?

Yan Xiu looked carefully at the hall on the 21st floor. Under the illumination of the stage lights, Jiang Boyan stood rooted to the spot with a calm expression on her face. Her hands were in her pockets, and she looked wildly arrogant. There was even a hint of mockery in her dark eyes. She still looked like she was sick.

“Is… isn’t she sick?”

It was the first time in Yan Xiu’s career that he was so flustered.

Jiang Boyan was not a lunatic at all? Was she faking it?

Yan Xiu turned and saw that Ji Han was calm. He was even a little interested. Suddenly, he was enlightened. “You know that she is not mentally ill?”

“Yes.”

Ji Han replied and did not bother to explain it to Yan Xiu.

Yan Xiu was very embarrassed. He did not even realize that this woman was not mentally ill.

However, it was okay. Her life was in Ji Han’s hands and she was going to die now.

Not everyone could be fooled. She had provoked a devil.

H*ll was all that awaited her now.

Yan Xiu was already prepared to go down and capture her. He had already thought about what do do with this woman’s bones. However, he did not hear Ji Han’s words. What was going on? Was Ji Han not angry?

Yan Xiu was a little confused. He looked at Ji Han and realized that he was still watching the situation downstairs. Only then did he realize that something was not right.

“You stinky beggar, you must have some ulterior motive for sneaking in. Could you be a thief? I want to see what you have stolen!”

A woman screamed. Her voice was sharp and unpleasant to the ears. She did not hide the thick malice and arrogance she felt.

Liu Xin grabbed Jiang Boyan’s wrist and frowned in pain. “Let go.”

Jiang Boyan’s eyes were dark.

“Your clothes are quite loose. You’re hiding a lot of things, aren’t you? Take off your clothes. I want to search you!”

Liu Xin’s expression was fierce. She turned to the person next to her and said, “Quickly check if you have lost anything. I think this stinky beggar must have sneaked in to steal.”

Jiang Boyan looked at the vicious dog that Jiang Meng had sent out expressionlessly.

She really knew how to bite and bark. Jiang Meng only needed to pretend to be kind and make her lackey do the dirty work.

“Hurry up, you’re obviously a thief since you’re clearly hiding something.” Liu Xin acted as if she already had evidence that condemned Jiang Boyan. Her face was full of righteousness, as if she meant to punish evil and promote good..
