CHAPTER 314: CHAPTER 314

Jiang Moxi and Si Lin exchanged glances.

Si Lin could see the cold intent and murderous aura gradually rising in the girl’s clear eyes, and the atmosphere even became extremely tense for a moment.

And as Jiang Moxi looked at Si Lin’s deep and charming face, she had to admit that she indeed had the intent to kill.

Although after the assassination attempt on Donald at the Peninsula Hotel, Si Lin had vaguely hinted that he knew Jiang Moxi’s true identity, they had never spoken so openly and honestly about it.

In fact, at the Hunting Ground, Jiang Moxi knew that she had revealed too much on this hunt.

Not just Si Lin, she guessed Ye Chen also...

What she feared most was Fu Youhan finding out about it.

But if both Ye Chen and Si Lin could guess her identity, then it wouldn’t be long before Fu Youhan knew.

If Fu Youhan found out that the person who was affectionate and close to him every day was actually a murderous demon, would he continue to live in peace with her?

Every time Jiang Moxi thought of this, she didn’t dare to continue the thought.

So, should she deal now with the people who had guessed her real identity?

Indeed, Jiang Moxi had entertained the thought.

But before she could act on it, Si Lin suddenly smiled and said, "What’s the matter? I haven’t revealed these things before, and now since you’ve saved Ruoruo’s life, I’m even less likely to betray you."

Si Lin actually guessed Jiang Moxi’s previous thought of killing him, but he could understand.

After all, if Jiang Moxi really was Dead Ghost, she certainly had no shortage of enemies.

People like them mingled among ordinary people naturally to seek peace.

So if their identities were discovered, the best method was to kill those in the know to protect themselves.

Si Lin also said, "If you need a cover, you can contact me at any time. Just like that day at the Peninsula Hotel, I can unconditionally ensure your safety."

Jiang Moxi admitted that Si Lin’s mention of the Peninsula Hotel made her think of his silent protection over this period.

Not only did he protect her and the Scavengers’ safe escape from the Peninsula Hotel, but he also guarded her throughout her entry into the Information Security Department, even knowing she was the Justice Hacker.

Si Lin really helped her a lot during this time.

So after much consideration, Jiang Moxi gradually dispelled her murderous intent towards Si Lin.

"I don’t need your cover, you just need to keep my identity from others."

Jiang Moxi concealed the emotions at the bottom of her eyes, her clear eyes now also carrying a sense of fragility.

Si Lin, facing these eyes, inevitably felt his heart unbalance, and jealousy caused him to speak recklessly.

"You’re actually just afraid of Third Master Fu knowing your identity, aren’t you?"

To Jiang Moxi’s surprise, Si Lin saw through her thoughts at a glance.

"Yeah, so you better keep your mouth shut in front of him," Jiang Moxi did not hide her special feelings for Fu Youhan.

Si Lin thought Jiang Moxi would at least feel a bit embarrassed and deny it a little, but he didn’t expect her to admit it so openly, rendering him speechless with the complaints he had planned to express.

So, in the end, all he could say with a tone of compromise and resignation was, "Understood."

At this moment, Shen Ruyi approached: "Miss Jiang, what are you and my boyfriend talking about?"

Shen Ruyi not only emphasized her relationship with Si Lin in her words as soon as she arrived but also hugged Si Lin’s arm directly, claiming her dominance.

But Si Lin thought her behavior was very low, and without waiting for Jiang Moxi to respond, he pulled her away immediately.

Yet Shen Ruyi, who could not tolerate sand in her eyes, was pulled aside by Si Lin before she could finish speaking, her anger having no outlet, so she simply let go of Si Lin’s hand and confronted him.

"Tell me the truth, is she trying to seduce you, wanting to be with you?"

Right, Shen Ruyi had always thought that Jiang Moxi tried so hard to show off, even saving Si Ruo in front of Si Lin, all to please Si Lin and be with him.

But what she never expected was that Si Lin gave her an entirely different answer.

"No, if she really wanted to be with me, I wouldn’t need her to seduce me; I would have dumped you in a flash and rolled right over to her side."

Shen Ruyi was stunned.

She had never imagined that Si Lin, one of the most prominent figures in Yan City’s elite, would actually be fawning over Jiang Moxi.

And what’s more, Si Lin expressed his liking for Jiang Moxi so bluntly right in front of her, his official girlfriend!

Shen Ruyi’s eyes reddened with rage and she asked him, "What’s so good about Jiang Moxi anyway?"

Si Lin frowned, as if in deep contemplation for a long time before he spoke, "I don’t know what’s so good about her either."

Their first encounter was nothing less than a disaster, and all of Si Lin’s subsequent interactions with Jiang Moxi had been hostile.

They had even come to blows, resulting in Si Lin getting a broken bone from Jiang Moxi.

But when did he start having thoughts of wanting to protect Jiang Moxi?

Unable to figure it out himself, Si Lin naturally couldn’t give Shen Ruyi an answer.

Angered, Shen Ruyi didn’t speak much to Si Lin for the rest of the evening banquet.

*

The dinner officially began, with Mr. Lai De, President of THE ONE Group, and Lady Suchen taking the stage to give a speech.

While thanking all the guests present at the dinner, they also revealed the necklace of extraordinary significance that the Jiang Family helped them retrieve.

Finally, they invited Jiang Tairan to represent the entire Jiang Family on stage to participate in the launch ceremony of THE ONE Group’s car-mounted project.

Standing on the stage under the spotlight, Jiang Tairan was carried away by the feeling of being honored guests of THE ONE Group, as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

Of course, Jiang Tairan believed he would not stop here; he was determined to leverage the vehicle-mounted project to propel the Jiang Family into the forefront of the global automotive industry.

From offstage, Jiang Moxi tried messaging Fu Youhan again, as it was now beyond the twenty minutes he had mentioned.

"Have you arrived?"

But this message was like a stone sinking into the sea, failing to elicit a response from Fu Youhan after a long time.

Just when Jiang Moxi was considering leaving, Fu Yiming approached her.

"Moxi, did you come alone?"

Ever since the hot spring trip and having witnessed Jiang Moxi’s attractive and seductive figure, Fu Yiming found it hard to stop himself from comparing other women with Jiang Moxi.

Yet, after all comparisons, it seemed none could surpass Jiang Moxi.

He had even spent several nights dreaming about being with Jiang Moxi...

Each time he woke up, his bedding would be dirty.

He had considered approaching Jiang Moxi directly.

But who knows what Fu Youhan had done behind the scenes, unexpectedly leading his grandfather to start valuing him, even entrusting him with planning the collaboration with THE ONE Group on the vehicle-mounted system.

These days, Fu Yiming was virtually trapped in Fu’s Building, busy day and night.

However, no matter how tired, his thoughts of Jiang Moxi never waned, so he had always planned to seek her out after securing the collaboration opportunity.

But Fu Yiming did not expect to see Jiang Moxi at this dinner.

She was not dolled up like the other high-society ladies, yet she was stunning like a lotus flower that rises out of clear water, so beautiful that it was hard to look away.

Consequently, Fu Yiming, disregarding the presence of his fiancee, came up to Jiang Moxi.

"With your little uncle."

Jiang Moxi was extremely disgusted by Fu Yiming’s undisguised burning gaze, so she didn’t bother masking the sarcasm in her tone towards him.

Upon hearing Jiang Moxi came with Fu Youhan, Fu Yiming still subconsciously looked around.

After not spotting Fu Youhan, his gaze grew bolder and his words more arrogant: "Moxi, with a figure like yours, how could my disabled uncle ever satisfy you?"
