From Sidekick to Bigshot

“Has Master Sheng been in a bad mood lately?”

Xing Wei said as he cautiously asked Han Mengyu.

“Yeah, he is. He got a ticket from the traffic police,” Han Mengyu replied.

“What? If I may ask, was that ticket a fine of fifty million dollars or five hundred million dollars?”

“Fifty dollars.”

“Wait, don’t tell me that Master Sheng has been upset for a few days because he was fined fifty dollars…”

“Nah, the point is not the fifty-dollar fine. The point is the traffic police issued this ticket just as our sister-in-law was about to kiss Master Sheng.”

“Huh?”

“Our sister-in-law was going to offer a kiss for the first time. However, she was interrupted by the traffic police.”

“Then what happened?”

“Well, nothing happened.”

After Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling left the Wen Residence, as he helped her, Zhai Yunsheng asked Jian Yiling to kiss him.

However… The kiss was interrupted by the traffic police.

“Ahhh, that’s a costly ticket. No wonder Master Sheng is upset,” Xing Wei replied.

Zhai Yunsheng held a wooden block in his left hand and a carving knife in his right hand. He was currently craving the wooden block.

It appeared as though he was craving a person. To be more specific, he was carving a woman.

Without even looking at the face of the woman, Xing Wei and Han Mengyu knew who Zhai Yunsheng was carving.

After a while, Zhai Yunsheng was about to be done.

Han Mengyu took this opportunity to speak to Zhai Yunsheng: “Master Sheng, we looked into XDL’s research and development team. This is the information that we’ve found so far.”

Zhai Yunsheng flipped through the information before he said:

“Elim?”

He raised his head and his eyes appeared to be probing and playful.

“Yep, Elim. This is all we’ve found so far,” Han Mengyu replied.

Zhai Yunsheng leaned back into his chair and one of his hands propped up his temple. An evil smile appeared on his face.

In the information he just flipped through, XDL’s Chief Designer Mr. Kevin was supposedly going to fly to Beijing tomorrow night. It stated that Mr. Kevin was going to meet Elim in the Hanging Gardens Restaurant.

As the Chief Designer of XDL, Mr. Kevin’s schedule was always packed. If he took the time out to meet someone, this person was definitely really important to XDL or to him personally.

Therefore, if Zhai Yunsheng wanted to confirm if Elim from XDL was his fiancee, tomorrow night was a great opportunity.

Xing Wei: “Well, if we’re catching a thief, we catch them with the stolen goods. If we’re catching a couple in the act, we have to catch both of them. Let’s catch our sister-in-law tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Han Mengyu glared at Xing Wei.

“Ahhh…” Xing Wei said as he trailed off. He realized that his words just now were not quite right. “It’s not catching a couple in the act…”

Then, were they going to the Hanging Gardens Restaurant tomorrow night?

If it really is Jian Yiling…

Then, another vest would be taken off…

He was somewhat looking forward to this…

The smile on Zhai Yunsheng’s face became more and more obvious.

When Han Mengyu and Xing Wei saw the evil smile on Zhai Yunsheng’s face, they couldn’t help but think about the kiss that Zhai Yunsheng lost because of the traffic police. Another vest being taken off would not compensate for that.

Diana sent another message to Jian Yiling:

[Darling, in addition to XDL’s competitors, there’s another organization that’s investigating you. The organization is called Harmony League. Therefore, we’ve set a trap. We deliberately leaked the news that Mr. Kevin will be meeting you at the Hanging Gardens Restaurant tonight.]

It was quite normal for XDL’s competitors to be curious about Elim’s identity. But what was the origin of the Harmony League? And why were they investigating Elim?
