Her mouth was covered, and Yuze instantly understood. She put a finger to her lips and shook her head at Xiao Ran.
Despite there being three people, the room was deathly quiet; no one dared to make a sound.
After putting away the acupuncture needles, Jiang Ziyu took out her phone from her pocket.
【You two stay inside and don't make any noise. When she leaves, Mommy will come to get you.】
Yuze and Xiao Ran huddled around the phone screen, staring at the message and nodding in response.
Seeing that there was nowhere to hide in the guest room, Jiang Ziyu feared that something unexpected might happen. She walked to the cabinet, arranged the quilts inside in one place, and left enough space for people to hide.
Ensuring there were no loopholes, she left the room.
Di Mingjue, who was playing with building blocks with Qianqian, heard the sound and looked up at Jiang Ziyu. "Why did it take so long?"
Her advancing steps halted. Jiang Ziyu deliberately turned her head and pointed to the guest room. "It was a bit messy, I was just tidying up."
"I'm not coming over tonight," Di Mingjue said again.
Sensing his misunderstanding, Jiang Ziyu nodded and replied, "Yes, I know."
She walked to the sofa and looked at Qianqian, who was looking up at her and blinking.
The truth of what had happened was known only to them.
Once the Lego construction was complete, Di Mingjue's phone rang in his pocket. Upon learning that Shen Lin had arrived downstairs, Jiang Ziyu excitedly pushed Di Mingjue into the elevator.
Through the transparent elevator walls, Di Mingjue voiced his confusion. "My departure seems to have made you very happy."
Seemed? She was truly happy!
Di Mingjue's sudden arrival had almost scared her to death.
As the elevator reached the first floor, Jiang Ziyu took the opportunity to change the subject.
"Assistant Shen!" she called out to Shen Lin, who was standing outside the door, looking down at his feet.
Looking up, Shen Lin immediately stepped forward to greet them.
Handing over the wheelchair to him, Jiang Ziyu stopped in her tracks, not walking out of the building. "Drive slowly. I'm going back up; Qianqian is still alone up there."
Di Mingjue felt that Jiang Ziyu was very strange today, as if she was hiding something from him. However, he had company matters waiting for him and didn't have the time or energy to focus his attention on Jiang Ziyu.
Following Shen Lin into the car, and with the files Shen Lin handed him, his attention shifted from Jiang Ziyu to his work.
The sound of pages turning could occasionally be heard in the car, and Di Mingjue's brow furrowed as he looked at the data.
"Are these the latest figures?" Di Mingjue pointed to the numbers on the page.
Shen Lin glanced down and replied, "Yes, that's what I was about to tell you."
Di Mingjue set the file aside and turned his head to look at Shen Lin.
"The project has just begun, and Young Master Di has already withdrawn funds from the company three times. I personally went to the site and saw that at the current stage, so much money is not needed. Furthermore, Young Master Di has not provided a detailed breakdown of these expenditures," Shen Lin explained.
Even for internal company projects requiring funds, expenditure details were necessary. Now, Di Dongsheng was using the project with the Wu Corporation to repeatedly and unnoticeably divert funds.
Di Mingjue glanced at the road outside the window and instructed, "Go to the project site."
"Now?"
"Yes, he should be there."
Shen Lin gave the address to the driver, and the car turned at the next intersection, changing its direction temporarily.
Half an hour later.
Shen Lin pushed Di Mingjue. The road conditions at the site were very poor, and the wheelchair's wheels repeatedly got stuck in crevices between rocks. Over a short stretch, the two took nearly ten minutes.
"What the hell are you doing!" a man suddenly ran up and yelled at Di Mingjue. Seeing Shen Lin still pushing him forward, he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and approached them. "I'm talking to you two. Who are you to barge in? Do you even know where you are to come in so casually?"
As the stick swung forward, Shen Lin moved in front of Di Mingjue to block any harm.
