Pei Yao, who was standing outside, had heard everything. She craned her neck and looked at Jiang Dashan, who was kneeling on the ground in despair. “Jiaojiao, are we going to let him off just like that?”

Chi Jiao led the two of them away and waited for the elevator. “Jiang Dashan clearly knows the inside story, but he’s unwilling to say it. In that case, he has to pay the price for his actions. Tell Di Ziyan and the others to continue protecting Jiang Dashan in secret. If nothing goes wrong, the murderer will definitely appear in the next few days.”

“Boss, was what you said just now true? Was the murderer really counting which floor Jiang Dashan stays on? That is too terrifying!” Beitang Lie thought of Chi Jiao’s words and felt a chill run down his spine.

He could guess how desperate Jiang Dashan was. Anyone would be terrified to be targeted by a murderer after witnessing such a terrifying murder case.

Beitang Lie felt terrified just by the thought of it. Jiang Dashan must be going crazy.

“I told the truth. This is from a criminal psychology study that did a lot of research on real-life serial killers. That is exactly what a serial killer would do,” Chi Jiao explained.

“Haha, going by how scared Jiang Dashan was, he probably already peed his pants!” Beitang Lie couldn’t help laughing when he thought of Jiang Dashan’s hopeless expression.

Seeing his frivolous expression, Pei Yao gave him a light smack. “Stop fooling around. Be more serious.”

Beitang Lie gave a dopey smile and said, “Yes, I’ll listen to you.”

Chi Jiao’s gaze wandered between the two of them as she teased, “I wanted to invite you two to lunch, but looks like I will be in the way.”

“Jiaojiao! If you tease me again, I’m going to be angry!” Pei Yao’s face turned a deep red. As she spoke, she stole a glance at Beitang Lie.

Beitang Lie smiled dotingly as he locked his gaze on her.

This made Pei Yao feel even more embarrassed. She hurriedly looked away. “I… I’ll go to the underground parking lot to get the car first. You guys can wait for the next elevator.”

With that, she hurriedly entered the elevator as if she was escaping enemy pursuit.

“Boss, don’t you think Yaoyao looks very cute when she’s shy?” Beitang Lie’s eyes lit up at this sight.

Chi Jiao waited patiently for the next elevator. She crossed her arms and sized him up. “I’m surprised by your lovelorn expression. Beitang Lie, are you serious about her? I won’t let you off if you dare to bully Sister Pei Yao.”

“It’s all thanks to your teachings, Boss. You successfully turned me from a playboy into a workaholic. I’m no longer interested in women!” Immediately after saying it, Beitang Lie felt that his words sounded a little weird. He quickly added. “No, it’s not that I’m not interested in women. I should say that I’m only interested in Yaoyao… Ahem! Boss, you understand what I mean!”

Chi Jiao didn’t want to hear too much about their private matters. She nodded and asked, “Are you sure? If you hook up with someone other than your true love, something big will happen to you.”

“Boss, as long as Yaoyao likes me, I won’t give up. I’ve already thought it through. I’m serious about her.” Beitang Lie’s expression was uncharacteristically solemn.
