CHAPTER 218: CHAPTER 217: PRISON BREAK

Pete remained expressionless, saying, "No, Madam, please don’t make it difficult for me!"

Ye Anxin pouted, looked at the four security guards outside the door, then at the transparent glass window, biting her lower lip. After a mental struggle, she finally nodded in compromise.

Drawing attention outside is still better than suffocating in here!

She had been confined here for a full twenty-four hours, and if she didn’t get some fresh air soon, she would go crazy!

So, as long as she could go out, she would go!

Pete stifled a laugh and said to Assistant Li, "Assistant Li, I’ll leave Madam in your care then! If anything happens, call me immediately!"

"I will!" Assistant Li nodded and smiled, seeing Pete off.

Once Pete left, Ye Anxin began to officially scrutinize this Assistant Li.

This Assistant Li gave off a completely different vibe from Secretary Judy! Judy always wore suits, but always paired with a skirt and high heels, her face always adorned with exquisite heavy makeup! She seemed overly flamboyant! In contrast, this Assistant Li, looking like she was in her thirties, wore a clean and sharp suit, high heels, a high ponytail, with light makeup, her tall and slim figure appeared very professional.

Seeing Ye Anxin staring at her, Assistant Li was not annoyed, instead, she smiled generously, "Madam, let me take you for a walk around the area!"

Ye Anxin realized her impoliteness, blushed, nodded, and smiled, "Assistant Li, please wait a moment, I’ll go change my clothes!" With that, she entered the room and quickly changed into an outfit for going out, grabbed a backpack, and followed Assistant Li out.

"Assistant Li, I’d like to see the Jiangcheng Bridge, can you take me there?" Ye Anxin asked with a smile while taking the elevator.

Thinking about the sunset she saw from her room last night, she still remembered it vividly.

She wondered what the scene would be like watching the sunset from the Jiangcheng Bridge.

Assistant Li shook her head decisively, "No, Jiangcheng Bridge is too far. Without the president’s instructions, I don’t dare take you there! I can only take you around nearby!"

Ye Anxin frowned, "Is it really far? It looked very close from my room!"

Assistant Li truthfully said, "It takes at least an hour to walk! If Madam wants to go, the company needs to dispatch a car!"

"Uh... Isn’t an hour considered far? It’s still early, we can walk and browse along the way, and we’ll be there soon enough! We have plenty of time!"

Assistant Li stubbornly shook her head, "No, the president said anything over half an hour is considered far!"

Ye Anxin’s mouth twitched again, her eyes flickered mischievously, she leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Anyway, Uncle is busy. If you don’t say, and I don’t say, how will he find out? If Uncle asks, I’ll just say I got so into browsing that I lost track of time! Uncle is kind, he won’t blame us!"

Hearing this, Assistant Li’s eyebrows and mouth twitched simultaneously.

For the first time, she actually heard someone say the president is kind!

Isn’t the president always known for being cold and ruthless? Since when was he associated with kindness?

Seeing no response, Ye Anxin resorted to using her tried and true coquettish tactic, "Please? I know Assistant Li is very nice, you can promise me! I swear, I won’t tell Uncle!"

"The president has eyes everywhere, nothing can escape his notice! Besides...!" Saying this, Assistant Li glanced sideways at the four walls of flesh behind them, the implication was obvious.

"Sigh...!" Ye Anxin followed her glance to the bodyguards behind and sighed, despairingly lowering her head.

Seeing her defeated demeanor, Assistant Li couldn’t help but comfort her, "Madam, no need to be sad, once the president finishes his work, he’ll surely take you to see Jiangcheng Bridge!"

Ye Anxin nodded listlessly in response.

At that moment, the elevator dinged open.

As expected, the moment the six of them walked out of the elevator, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

It wasn’t Ye Anxin that drew attention, but the four bodyguards behind her.

Ye Anxin’s mouth twitched, sighing incessantly in her heart.

However, this frustration quickly dissipated as she was immediately drawn to the street view outside the hotel doors.

Ye Anxin jumped down the steps, spread her arms wide, lifted her head, took a deep breath, and happily shouted, "I’m finally out, it’s not easy at all!"

Assistant Li walked to her side and said with a smile, "Madam, let’s go! I’ll take you to see the famous attractions around here!"

"Okay!" Ye Anxin nodded, eagerly linking arms with Assistant Li as they walked.

Looking at Ye Anxin’s hand linked with her own arm, there was a clear glint of surprise in Assistant Li’s eyes.

This president’s wife was nothing like she imagined! Not pretentious at all, very approachable, and with a good temper!

When she accompanied special assistant Pete, she had already made up her mind, assuming the president’s wife would be a delicate, wealthy lady! It turned out that she was the exact opposite, much purer and simpler than she imagined.

While holding Assistant Li’s arm, Ye Anxin toured the famous tourist spots of Jiangcheng, curiously asking, "Assistant Li, do you know why Uncle came to Jiangcheng this time? It seems like he’s really busy! He was never this busy in Jin City before!"

Assistant Li replied in surprise, "Doesn’t Madam know? The president is opening a vacation resort here! It might be busier initially, but once things are on track, it will get better!"

Ye Anxin, glancing around as she walked, casually asked, "Oh, I see! How many businesses does Uncle have here?"

Assistant Li replied earnestly, "That’s a business secret. If Madam wants to know, you can ask the president directly!"

Ye Anxin replied nonchalantly, "I was just asking. I’m always too lazy to inquire about Uncle’s business affairs! Today I’m just curious!"

Assistant Li pursed her lips, saying nothing.

Ye Anxin squinted a smile at her and pulled her into the crowd!

The four bodyguards behind them immediately followed.

At the Mu Group, in the conference room, the vacation resort project was being discussed fervently.

Suddenly, a discordant voice arose.

Mu Beiting followed the voice with a cold gaze.

Everyone else also followed his lead, looking sharply at the culprit.

Pete, sitting there, suddenly felt a chill down his spine as everyone’s eyes turned to him. He awkwardly smiled and took out his phone, just about to hang up, but when he glimpsed the number on it, his hand froze.

Holding the persistently ringing phone, Pete said to Mu Beiting, "President, it’s a call from the Jin City police station!"

Mu Beiting furrowed his brows and coldly spat out one word, "Answer!"

Pete nodded, and under Mu Beiting’s murderous gaze, he braced himself and answered the call.

Whatever was said on the line, Pete’s expression changed dramatically in an instant.
