Rong Qi blinked, “Maybe, probably, possibly?”
“Hmm?” Ye Nanshen emitted a sound from his nostrils.
Rong Qi looked wronged and submissive, “They insisted on pinning it on me. Don’t you know me? I just want an easy life under your protection. How could I have the capability to be a leader? I’m more suited to be a slacker, right, Da Da?”
Ye Nanshen sighed inwardly, his eyes filled with helplessness.
Zhuang Ling, standing behind, wanted to pick his nose, blurting out without thinking, “Madam, you have the strength to make Master Shen take action. Why do you need his protection?”
The headaches Ye Nanshen and the others had in the Seven Sinisters these days were known only to them. If they had known Rong Qi was from Sevenfold Venture Group, they wouldn’t have let so many good projects slip away.
Rong Qi glared at Zhuang Ling and asked, “What did you eat this morning, a bunch of Xu Yi?”
Zhuang Ling coughed lightly, “Thanks to you, Madam. Because of your visit, we didn’t have breakfast this morning.”
Rong Qi rolled her eyes at Zhuang Ling. She said, “S is short for my English name Sukie. The company’s name is Sevenfold Venture Group. I never expected you to be the renowned leader of the Seven Sinisters in Ferica, Hades!”
What a twist of fate. Rong Qi hadn’t settled her score with Ye Nanshen yet.
Ye Nanshen tightened his grip around Rong Qi and asked, “Then why does your profile say you’re male?”
Rong Qi touched her nose and explained, “After playing with investments for years and nothing in return, I thought I shouldn’t embarra.s.s women, so I changed my profile to male. I don’t manage the company myself; a friend who’s like Gu Ziye helps me with it.”
Ye Nanshen realized that ever since he knew Rong Qi was interested in a fake at the auction, he knew she could do anything except business, which was her blind spot. He sighed, a mix of helplessness and fondness.
Rong Qi, feigning nonchalance, asked, “Do you directly manage the Seven Sinisters?”
“Yes. However, each branch has an independent guardian responsible for different tasks. Like Zhuang Ling, he’s in charge of intelligence.”
Rong Qi pondered. ‘So, the orders for my a.s.sa.s.sination came directly from Ye Nanshen?’
“What’s wrong?” Ye Nanshen, seeing her in deep thought, a.s.sumed she was interested in the Seven Sinisters.
Just as Ye Nanshen was about to dissuade Rong Qi, he saw her stand up and turn to face him. Confused, he met her gaze.
Suddenly, Rong Qi’s lips curled into a smile. Before Ye Nanshen could react, she punched him in the stomach.
“Uh…”
Clutching his belly, Ye Nanshen looked at Rong Qi, bewildered.
Rong Qi, having landed her punch, ran off, not giving them a chance to understand what just happened.
“Master Shen…” Zhuang Ling approached, worriedly looking at his boss who just got punched. He thought, ‘Madam is too bold.’
In all his years with Ye Nanshen, Zhuang Ling had never seen anyone dare to hit him. Not even Ye Nanshen’s father had laid a finger on him.
Ye Nanshen bent over, clutching his stomach, and stopped Zhuang Ling from coming closer, biting back pain, and said, “I’m fine..”
