Chapter 307 A Tale of Two Cities (2)
Seeing this, Pighead quickly spoke up, "Miss Tong, you're being too disrespectful. Assistant Li just wants to have a drink with you. Just drink it, why are you throwing a tantrum? Listen to me, come over and have a drink with Assistant Li, apologize properly, and he won't hold it against you."
Tong Shili sneered, "Are you trying to force me to submit?" She gripped the cold object in her pocket, her tone becoming even colder.
Seeing that Tong Shili was serious, everyone present held their breath. They exchanged glances, then stood up and made excuses to leave. Even Pighead wasn't stupid; he could tell at a glance that Assistant Li was determined to get Tong Shili.
His eyes darted around, and he said, "I just remembered I have a meeting to attend later, so I'll be leaving now. You guys chat." With that, he left, leaving only Tong Shili and Assistant Li in the large private room.
That's even better; for her, killing someone is just a matter of minutes.
Tong Shili coldly looked at Assistant Li: "I'll give you two choices: either let me leave now, or leave your life here!"
"Miss Tong is the first person to dare threaten me. She's got personality, I like that!" Assistant Li said with a lewd expression, suddenly moving closer to Tong Shili, his hot breath dripping on her skin. "Today I'm going to have you, and I'll see who's going to die!"
Tong Shili's lips curled into a smile, and Assistant Li suddenly felt a chill travel from his temples to every cell in his body. When he saw what Tong Shili was holding, his expression changed drastically!
However, being a man of the world, Assistant Li quickly calmed down and sneered, "Girl, if you have the guts, then shoot. I'll admire you. If you don't dare to shoot, I'll show you what happens when you offend me!"
Assistant Li spoke with disdain, and Tong Shili narrowed her cold eyes, "Is that so? I'm afraid there's no chance!" Just as she was about to pull the trigger, a detached voice came, "Change to this one, the silencer."
Assistant Li was startled and looked at Yi Fanxi, who had entered silently. Yi Fanxi's handsome face was cold, and his casual clothes were loosely worn, giving him a noble yet eerie air that made people shudder.
Tong Shili was taken aback: "Why are you here?"
Yi Fanxi didn't say anything, but took the gun from Tong Shili's hand and replaced it with a silenced one. "This is my job."
Tong Shili was dumbfounded. Could it be that Fisher sent him? Did Fisher also know his identity?
Just as she was in shock, Assistant Li suddenly made a move, lifting his foot to run. Tong Shili barely saw how Yi Fanxi made his move; she only heard a muffled groan before Assistant Li fell to the ground.
He looked at Yi Fanxi in horror, his body covered in cold sweat from the pain. "Who are you?"
He was destined to be the youngest mayor in the entire S City. Forget anger, a single glance from him was enough to command obedience. Yet, the man and woman before him…
Based on his many years of political experience, he knew that they, especially this man, were definitely not to be trifled with! But this was on his turf, and these two dared to act this way. What were their backgrounds?
Yi Fanxi didn't even look at him directly: "Assistant Li? The youngest mayor in the future is probably going to have his dream shattered."
Assistant Li frowned: "What do you mean by that? Who are you!" He clutched his injured arm, looking at Yi Fanxi in horror, even forgetting the pain.
Yi Fanxi remained indifferent, a cold glint in his eyes, ignoring her. He turned to Tong Shili, "If you're going to do it, do it quickly. I'm leaving now."
Tong Shili was stunned. Could they really be so heartless as to leave her all alone?
She glared down at Assistant Li, and with a soft bang, the silenced gun went off. Then, he screamed in agony. As Tong Shili disappeared, blood streamed down his leg.
They actually dared to fire a shot?!
Assistant Li winced in pain, screaming frantically at the door. There was no response, but his phone suddenly rang. He crawled over to pick it up, and as soon as he answered, he heard an exasperated voice on the other end, "Assistant Li, something terrible has happened! Our embezzlement, bribery, and money laundering have been exposed..."
Assistant Li's mind went blank for a moment, his face turned deathly pale, he knew he was doomed!
In the car, Tong Shili turned her head to look at Yi Fanxi and said, "Thank you for today."
Yi Fanxi didn't look at her, and asked indifferently, "How have you considered it?"
Tong Shili was taken aback, then remembered Yi Fanxi's request for her to give up on dealing with Chi Moqing. She shrugged, "No need to consider it, I refuse. Like I said, unless you can take down Master J."
Yi Fanxi lowered his eyes slightly, and the small space fell silent. When he looked up again, his beautiful eyes were fixed straight ahead, without the slightest ripple of emotion.
Tong Shili couldn't see through Yi Fanxi; being with him only made her feel uneasy. This man was too strange, making her feel insecure. She remained silent, wondering if she should keep her distance from him.
As they approached her house, a figure appeared in front of them. Yi Fanxi's expression didn't change, but Tong Shili was stunned. When she saw the figure clearly, her heart trembled.
Chi Moqing's mother! Why would she come looking for her?
She inwardly cried out, "Oh no! Yi Fanxi is still in the car. What if Chi's mother misunderstands and thinks she has a boyfriend, but still asked her to introduce someone to someone?"
"Miss Tong." Just as Mrs. Chi was about to leave, she saw Tong Shili get out of the car.
With a slightly embarrassed expression, Tong Shili walked over and said, "Auntie, what brings you here?"
Mrs. Chi smiled and said, "I came to visit, and I just remembered that you live here, so I was planning to go and see you, and by the way..." She was halfway through her sentence when she saw Yi Fanxi getting out of the car, and she couldn't react for a moment.
Yi Fanxi walked over, nodded and said, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Yi Fanxi, Shili's colleague."
Looking at Yi Fanxi's slender and handsome appearance, and then at Tong Shili, Chi's mother said, "You two..."
Afraid of losing contact with Chi's mother, Tong Shili quickly said, "We're colleagues, Auntie, you must be tired. Let's go upstairs and sit down."
Mrs. Chi nodded belatedly, glancing back at Yi Fanxi from time to time, "Since we're colleagues, let's go together."
Tong Shili quickly said, "No need, no need, he has other things to do later."
"Oh, I see." Chi's mother felt that Tong Shili and Yi Fanxi were acting strangely. Were they boyfriend and girlfriend? But if Tong Shili had a boyfriend, why would she lie to her and ask her to introduce them?
When they arrived at Tong Shili's house, Tong Shili served her tea and water. Chi's mother took the cup and asked, "You and that man from earlier, you two..."
“We’re colleagues, and I just happened to get a ride back with him today,” Tong Shili said with a smile. “Auntie, please don’t misunderstand, he’s a cold person and doesn’t get along with anyone.”
After thinking about it, Chi's mother realized that Yi Fanxi really didn't smile much. It was such a pity about that boy; he was so handsome, and he and Tong Shili actually looked quite well-matched.
Outside the apartment, Yi Fanxi sat in his car, looking at the bright windows of Tong Shili's home with deep eyes.
Chi Ran and Lu Zhitu's wedding was simple. The family stayed on the island for a few days, which could be considered a vacation. Then the newlyweds continued their journey, while the Chi family went back to prepare for Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo's wedding.
Inside the villa, Fu Zixin and some of Yan Zuozuo's close colleagues were in a room. When they saw Yan Zuozuo in her white wedding dress, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Wow, Zuozuo is so beautiful!"
"She's not just pretty, she's absolutely gorgeous! She's like a fairy from heaven!" The sight made the unmarried women in the group quite eager to try her luck.
Fu Zixin grinned and said, "My Zuo Zuo is so beautiful. It looks like President Chi will be working hard from now on." After saying that, she glanced at Chi Moqing, who was holding Yan Zuo Zuo, and teased her.
Chi Moqing laughed and said, "I am tired. I have to keep a close eye on Zuo Zuo so that no one will have designs on her."
Yan Zuozuo blushed and pinched him, "Don't talk nonsense."
Chi Moqing looked at her quietly, his eyes full of affection. "I'm not making this up. In my eyes, my wife is always the most beautiful. Thank you for marrying me, my wife."
Yan Zuozuo's heart pounded wildly, and her face flushed red with embarrassment.
"Oh my, this is so cheesy! Shouldn't we be the third wheels here? We're blinding you!" Cai Keren said loudly, and everyone laughed along. "Yes, yes, we third wheels will leave now, you two can enjoy your lovey-dovey time."
Yan Zuozuo's face turned bright red. Hearing their teasing voices, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
The room quickly fell silent. She nestled in Chi Moqing's arms, her eyes fixed on their wedding photo on the wall, her heart filled with tenderness. In just a few hours, they would exchange vows in front of everyone—a vow that was more than three years overdue.
Even though they've been married for so long, holding a wedding now makes her feel like a young girl experiencing her first love, filled with indescribable sweetness and joy.
She looked up and met Chi Moqing's gaze, their eyes filled with deep affection.
Not long after, Chi Moqing was called out, leaving Yan Zuozuo alone in the room. She took out a photo of her mother from the drawer, and looking at her face in the photo, her eyes welled up with tears.
She gently stroked her, choking back tears, and said, "Mom, did you see? I'm going to have my wedding with Mo Qing. I'm so happy, so very happy. I hope you're happy over there too, and don't worry about me."
Tears welled in her eyes. She thought of other fathers leading their daughters to their husbands, but she had no father, and even her mother couldn't attend her wedding. Tears fell like broken beads onto the photograph.
She mustn't cry, she mustn't cry. Today is a joyous day; she should be happy.
Taking a deep breath, she silently told herself that even if she walked to Chi Moqing's side alone, she would still feel happy.
Knock, knock, knock. Just then, there was a knock on the door. She quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Come in."
At the doorway, a tall and slender figure appeared. Yan Zuozuo turned around without warning, but when she saw who it was, she froze.
