"This reporter seems unaware that Miss Ling has been imprisoned before. He only knows her name and reckons that he can write a tabloid article about you," Gao Congming said.
Yi Jinli said coldly, "Continue to interrogate him. Release him only after you've got all the information you need from him. He mentioned that he saw someone post about this on social media. Go and find out who saw it and who mentioned it!"
"Got it," Gao Congming replied.
When Yi Jinli pushed open the door to the ward and saw Ling Yiran eating her porridge, he wondered if the reporter had chanced upon the news concerning the two of them.
"Was it a coincidence that we were discovered the night before, or... was there something else?"
Ling Yiran lifted her head and saw that Yi Jinli's face had darkened. He seemed unhappy, so she stared at him in amazement.
Suddenly, the unhappy aura around him disappeared. A smile broke out on his handsome face and he began behaving as usual.
"Sis, why are you staring at me?" Yi Jinli asked.
With some difficulty, she shook her head and replied, "Oh, it's nothing."
In that brief moment, Ling Yiran had felt as if she did not recognize him. "Could it be that... this is his true self?" When he smiled at her, he looked like an angel, but it could all just be an act.
Ever since Xiao Ziyi had found out that Yi Jinli was the man behind Ling Yiran, she had been down on her luck.
When the man walking at the head of the group saw her, he cracked a smile. He immediately walked over to her and said, "Miss Xiao, I'm surprised to see you here. Have you injured your leg? Ah, we should have visited you..."
The man rattled on, trying to fawn over her, but Xiao Ziyi could not recall who he was. Finally, he said, "I'm the director of Fangyan Secondary Design Research Institute. We have business dealings with the Xiao Group. I have seen Miss Xiao a couple of times at your Group's gatherings."
Although Xiao Ziyi could not remember if she had met him before, she knew about the Fangyan Design Research Institute. It was a small design research institute. As the boss and one of the relatives of the Xiao Group knew each other, there were times when the Xiao Group would let them take some design jobs which were not as important.
"Are you having a gathering? Can I join you since I'm free?" Xiao Ziyi suddenly asked.
When the director heard that, he was overjoyed. He said excitedly, "Of course... no problem. It'd be great if you could join us!"
