Chapter 1076: My Master Would Be Jealous

Helian Weiwei was speechless.

She shouldn’t have asked him this question.

After all, those who followed after His Highness was a bunch of eager and passionate beasts whose loyalty could be proved by their daily actions. So it was true that they wouldn’t need to be paid.

“But if I were in charge, I wouldn’t put a woman in the CEO’s office.” Baili Jiajue’s figure hadn’t changed and he was still a head shorter than Helian Weiwei, but his tone was very imposing.

“Why?” Helian Weiwei originally thought that he would say something about Dong Sichun’s capabilities, since she would have only just graduated and wouldn’t be suitable to work directly for the CEO.

But Baili Jiajue just let out a low laugh. He looked at her with his deep eyes and spoke in a bewitching voice, “Because I’m worried that my master will be jealous.”

What was this feeling of being teased?!

Helian Weiwei coughed lightly. Something like that would bother her slightly, but she was quite sure that Baili Jiajue wouldn’t do something like keep a secretary as a mistress.

Wait a minute!

A beautiful female university student.

She had no background and no experience, but she got a position in the CEO’s office.

This was very abnormal.

Helian Weiwei didn’t know if she was thinking too much, so she looked towards Xiao Jingtian. “This is your father’s company. Do you know how Dong Sichun managed to be assigned to such an important position within the CEO’s office?”

“I have never been familiar with the matters in father’s company.” Xiao Jingtian’s expression was a bit stiff, as if she didn’t like to talk about this matter.

Helian Weiwei saw her reaction and casually asked again, “What about your mother? She doesn’t know about this matter either?”

“Miss Helian!” It seemed like Helian Weiwei had hit a sore spot of Xiao Jingtian’s and her reaction became more agitated. “Why are you always asking about unimportant things? We hired you to help us solve this problem. What does this have to do with my mother?”

Helian Weiwei’s gaze was indifferent. “If it has nothing to do with your mother, then why are you so agitated?”

“I just don’t understand why you’re asking these questions.” After Xiao Jingtian took a deep breath and calmed down a little, she looked at Helian Weiwei and appeared a little fragile. “I’m sorry, I lost my composure a little. My mother doesn’t know anything. Don’t drag her into this.”

Helian Weiwei looked deeply at Xiao Jingtian. “Okay, in that case, I’d like to ask you a direct question. Was there any unspeakable relationship between your father and Dong Sichun?”

“What did you say?!”

Xiao Jingtian still hadn’t said anything.

It was Chen Feiyang and the other boy who shouted at the same time!

Helian Weiwei turned to look at the two boys and smiled faintly. “Very good, that’s the reaction I was looking for. Looks like both of you really care a lot about Dong Sichun.”

“It’s not about whether we care or not!” Chen Feiyang’s eyes were red. “How could you insult others like that?! What unspeakable relationship? You’ve been spouting nonsense right from the beginning!”

Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows. “Spouting nonsense? Mr. Chen, let me remind you, it’s up to Miss Xiao to determine if I’ve been spouting nonsense, not you.”

“Ha, this is simply impossible, you… ”

“She’s right. Xiao Jingtian looked up, and in that instant, her hatred surpassed any fear she had earlier. “That day, I went to my father’s company and saw the two of them in his office…Tsk, I’ve never seen someone as cheap as Dong Sichun before. It’s true that she liked Chen Feiyang, but she preferred men who could offer her more benefits like my father. She was such a cheap woman, but you guys treated her like a princess and thought she was so wonderful. What a joke. Are all men so stupid? Regardless of whether it was you two or my father, all of you were easily manipulated by her and you all thought she was so pure and innocent. What a joke. She was so obviously vain and materialistic, but you couldn’t tell?”

Chen Feiyang was shocked by these words. He saw the tears falling from Xiao Jingtian’s eyes and looked like he wanted to say something.

But Xiao Jingtian didn’t look at him. She turned away and took a deep breath. “I’ve said all that needs to be said. What else does Miss Helian want to ask?”

“Did the police know about these things?” Helian Weiwei’s tone remained flat.

Xiao Jingtian frowned. “Yes, they asked me about these things.”

“Okay, I’ve got it.” Helian Weiwei turned back to the rest of them. “I said earlier that someone wants to avenge Dong Sichun, and this person liked Dong Sichun to the point where you can say he’s very obstinate. Of course, I’m not sure if he knew what sort of person Dong Sichun realy was or not, but it’s very obvious that he doesn’t intend to stop at killing one person. He killed Zhang Heng first, then he started stalking and observing the rest of you as well. That’s why all of you feel like there’s a ghost around you, but actually it’s not Dong Sichun who’s come back to haunt you. It’s a real person sneaking about all of you and he’s prepared to kill off a second person whom he thinks is unforgivable in this escape room.”

When she came to this point, Helian Weiwei paused for a moment. “If I’m not wrong, Miss Xiao, the next person he wants to kill is you. That’s why your suspicions are the strongest.”

Xiao Jingtian immediately froze. “That’s impossible.”

“Why is it impossible?” Helian Weiwei glanced at Chen Feiyang. “Did you think that the murderer wouldn’t come to kill you for Dong Sichun’s sake?”

Xiao Jingtian’s entire body trembled, and then she laughed bitterly. “No, I was thinking too much. It’s very likely that he would kill me for Dong Sichun’s sake.”

“And who is he?” Helian Weiwei’s question was very direct.

Xiao Jingtian didn’t respond.

Helian Weiwei’s voice was very faint. “Or perhaps you can tell me who you think the murderer is?”

“I don’t want to say it.” Xiao Jingtian’s left hand drooped down weakly, and she pressed her other hand against her forehead.

Helian Weiwei didn’t continue to ask and actually took a step back.

It wasn’t because of something in the room, but because Xiao Jingtian was behaving a lot like the way she did back then.

That kind of torment.

It was as if nobody could understand her.

It was the pain of knowing that her father cheated on her mother, but in order to protect her mother, she pretended not to know anything.

In addition, the boy she liked might even kill her for the sake of her father’s mistress.

It was probably very painful.

Perhaps it was so painful that she wished she was dead.

But up until now, Helian Weiwei still hadn’t found any conclusive evidence to prove that Chen Feiyang was the murderer.

So she wasn’t going to make any conclusion.

Guo Tingting couldn’t accept such this situation. Her eyes looked unsteadily at Helian Weiwei and even her voice was trembling. “You mean, he still wants to kill a second person for the sake of that slut?”

“Since he could kill the first person in this escape room, then he can kill a second person…”
