“Strange? One glass is missing. I clearly remembered that I took four glasses. This is strange.”

Inside the VIP room, the waiter who cleaned the table let out a curious comment. Ouyang Mingqi who was meeting Secretary Liu outside the room heard his comment.

“How could you miss one? Did you try looking around? Did you remember wrongly?” Another servant asked casually.

Ouyang Minqi walked into the VIP room and stared at the seat where he sat just now. It was true indeed that there were only three glasses left on the table. The glass that was on his seat was gone.

A vicious look suddenly appeared on Ouyang Mingqi’s face.

“Young master, do you think we should make peace with Xia Weilan?” Secretary Liu wasn’t aware of the change in the situation and continued to speak behind Ouyang Mingqi’s shoulders.

The moment Ouyang Mingqi turned around, the expression on his face made Secretary Liu shiver. His words were stuck in his throat.

Ouyang Mingqi left the VIP room and stared in the direction where Xia Weilan left with a menace expression. He felt his heart sink and frustration crept upon him.

Meanwhile, Xia Weilan was in a good mood. She glanced at her bag and couldn’t hide the smile on her face.

She never expected that she could trick a person like Ouyang Mingqi.

“Weilan, why did you steal the glass? Don’t tell me that this is one of your hobbies? There’s nothing special about this glass at all!” Han Yishi couldn’t figure out why she did that.

“You knew about what happened to your uncle’s c until now, they are still unable to find the real culprit. However, they managed to get some fingerprints from the car.” Xia Weilan explained.

“Fingerprints?” Han Yishi stared at her bag in disbelief, “Are you saying that…”

“Yeap!” Xia Weilan narrowed her eyes, “I’m only speculating. I still need evidence to prove it.”

“No way! Wasn’t him your best friend?” Han Yishi couldn’t accept the fact.

“Who said that we’re friends? He’s my enemy. Stay away from him.” Xia Weilan glanced at Han Yishi via the rear mirror as she gave him a warning.

Han Yishi’s mind went blank momentarily. He couldn’t understand the logic behind this but could only nod, “Okay, I get it.”

He sounded a little disappointed.

Xia Weilan saw his expression and couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Ouyang Mingqi is a sly man. Han Yishi is definitely no match for him.

Neither of them talked in the car.

Xia Weilan planned to drop Han Yishi at his venue and hand the fingerprint to Mo Beichen to do a match.

Han Yishi glanced at Xia Weilan from time to time. His eyes quiver as if he is trying to figure out something.

Both of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts. When Xia Weilan eventually stopped the car, she didn’t notice the reporters waiting in the lobby. When they saw her car approaching, they immediately surrounded the car.

“Is it Han Yishi?” The reporters surrounded the car, extending their necks to have a closer look at who was inside the car.

“It must be him. I heard that he got into a white car. It must be this one.”

Xia Weilan never expected that there would be so many people waiting outside. All of them were holding their cameras and microphones. Some even leaned on the window, trying to catch a glimpse of what’s happening inside.

Luckily, Xia Weilan’s car window is not transparent.

“Weilan, the reports had gone mad. I think it’s best that we wait a while in the car before going down.” Han Yishi was a lot calmer than Xia Weilan. He took out his phone and called his manager, “Where the hell had you been? The reporters had blocked the entrance. Take care of this quickly.”

Xia Weilan could only wait in the car as it was impossible for her to drive out from there and it’s also not a good time to get out of the car.

Soon, the manager brought along some security and they cleared a path of two meters. Xia Weilan let out a sigh of relief and said to Han Yishi, “You can get out of the car now. Have a nice day at work.”

“You need to get out of the car with me. It’s obvious that they got some tip-off. I heard them mentioning your name just now. If you hide in the car, they might start writing tabloids about you.” Han Yishi is obviously very experienced in handling this sort of situation.

The reporters aimed their cameras toward the white car. Suddenly, the door of the car swung open. Han Yishi got out of the car with Xia Weilan.

“Miss Xia, we heard that you’ve frequently hung out with Han Yishi at restaurants. Are you seeing each other?”

“Mr Han, this is the first time ever that you became the spokesman for jewelry. Is there any special reason behind this?”

The reporters immediately asked them some incisive questions.

Xia Weilan stood calmly and smiled elegantly toward the reporters, “That’s right, it is indeed unprecedented that Han Yishi agreed to be the spokesman for our company. And of course, there is a reason behind this.”

“Can we know what’s the reason?”

“Yeah, we’re curious about it.”

Xia Weilan kept quiet. Han Yishi said, “That’s because I’ve always admired Z’s design. Don’t you agree that their design matches my taste? They are bold, innovative, and modern. They are indeed the unexpected winner among the jewellery industry. So of course I’m more than happy to be the spokesman for Z Jewellery. Moreover, I also believe that with Z’s collaboration, Xia Corps will only get better.”

At first, those reporters expected to hear some breathtaking inside story. They didn’t expect to be fed an advertisement instead. All of them were speechless.

“Well, what’s the relationship between Mr Han and Miss Xia? Why are you always hanging out together?” The reporter hasn’t given up yet.

“Why of course we’re business partners. Isn’t this normal? Lately, I’m shooting a commercial. So, of course, the Xia Corps would send a representative to follow up on the progress.” Han Yishi said without blinking. He answered the reporter’s question smoothly.

The reporters shut their mouths.

Xia Weilan seized the opportunity, “Thank you for your attention to the Xia Corps. We will update the progress on our website. Thanks.”

She led Han Yishi into the building.

The reporters left very soon to put up their drafts. The headline of the article was about Han Yishi announcing that he is a fan of Z. Nobody dared to bring up the topic of Han Yishi’s relationship with Xia Weilan.

However, nobody noticed that a person secretly sneaked into Xia Weilan’s car and swapped the glass inside her bag.

Shortly after, Xia Weilan came out from the building and drove off to Mo Corps.

“What is this?” Mo Beichen looked at the glass on his desk. Xia Weilan even carefully wrapped it with a bag.

“Fingerprint.” Xia Weilan explained, “Aren’t you still looking for the person who wrecked your car? Take this to do a compatibility test with the fingerprints found from your car.”

“Who does this belong to?” Mo Beichen lifted his brows.

Xia Weilan hesitated before answering, “Ouyang Mingqi’s.”
