Qin Mobai was suddenly sent into the ICU, which made Lou Xi lose her composure, yet Ji Nanming didn’t let her go to the Capital immediately.

Instead, he took Lou Xi to the Qin Family.

After realizing that their destination wasn’t the Jia Sheng Group, Lou Xi’s eyes were full of blame and confusion towards Ji Nanming.

However, Ji Nanming seemed not to notice Lou Xi’s gaze, walked around the front of the car, and opened the door on Lou Xi’s side.

"Get out of the car, President Lou." Ji Nanming extended his hand to Lou Xi very gentlemanly, "If you rashly go to the Capital, someone will definitely track your whereabouts. Do you want to expose yourself so soon?"

Lou Xi looked up at the inscrutable Ji Nanming.

She thought she had considered everything thoroughly, and after finding Fu Sinian, she planned for him to cover her visiting Qin Mobai in the Capital.

But according to Ji Nanming, doing so would be dangerous, equating to automatically revealing that Qin Mobai was still alive.

"Then what should..."

"If I’m not mistaken, the Qin Family has a document that needs a stamp from the Capital, and it hasn’t been stamped yet. If you go and succeed..." Ji Nanming left his words unfinished.

Upon hearing this, Lou Xi thought Ji Nanming’s plan was well-considered. If she went to the Capital for business, then President Xi would lower his guard against her.

"Moreover..." Ji Nanming suddenly leaned down, supporting himself with one hand on the car door, "If you go to the Capital, President Xi will act boldly in Nancheng, and we’ll catch him red-handed."

Lou Xi slightly leaned back, unaccustomed to a man suddenly being so close, as his strong masculine scent wafted to her nose.

It carried a faint tobacco smell, not too strong.

Lou Xi remembered that Qin Mobai used to smoke often, but after she got pregnant, he forcefully quit smoking.

"Hey!" Ji Nanming suddenly snapped his fingers in front of Lou Xi, "Come back to your senses."

Ji Nanming straightened up, giving Lou Xi a look indicating she could get out of the car.

Under Ji Nanming’s explanation, Lou Xi found his method flawless, suppressing her anxiety for Qin Mobai.

Think of the bigger picture.

She repeated these four words to herself in her mind.

The Qin Family’s meeting was not as easy as Lou Xi imagined, but with Ji Nanming’s audacity, the Qin Family shareholders agreed that if Lou Xi could secure the stamp from the Land Bureau, she could temporarily act for Qin Mobai.

Now, Lou Xi had a legitimate reason to go to the Capital.

When leaving the Qin Family, Lou Xi saw Xi Siwei walking into the Qin Family with seven or eight people.

People who came out of the company to see Lou Xi off told her that those following Xi Siwei were high-ranking officials of the Qin Family.

The implication was that Xi Siwei was beginning to win over the company’s people, and as soon as the old man breathed his last, the fight for the Qin Family assets would begin.

But hadn’t Lou Xi always thought that Xi Siwei previously signed an agreement with Qin Mobai relinquishing his status as the Qin Family heir?

Why was he still so arrogantly approaching the Qin Family?

All these questions rushed into Lou Xi’s mind, with no answers in sight.

With a mind full of doubts, Lou Xi boarded the special jet to the Capital.

Since Ji Nanming was brought back by Shen Youran to help Lou Xi, Ji Nanming accompanied her throughout the journey.

...

The Qin Family.

Xi Siwei walked into Qin Mobai’s previous office, which was the office of the Qin Family’s chairman.

When Qin Mobai worked at the Qin Family, he used Qin Sheng’s office.

The office was decorated with Chinese furniture, and it was said that this desk was made of fine pearwood.

This office was different; Xi Siwei had imagined more than once what it would be like to work here.

"President Xi, Mr. Fu Sinian is looking for you." The secretary knocked and entered.

"Fu Sinian?" Xi Siwei repeated Fu Sinian’s name, surprised.
