At the same time, Old Lady Qu was in the greenhouse of her family’s villa, listening to her close aide report about Ji Miao’s death.

“Madam, Ji Miao… committed suicide in prison.”

Tian Yibo was not this close aide’s real name.
As he had gone under the knife, his looks were very common.
He had picked up the identification card of the man called Tian Yibo by coincidence a few months ago; hence, he went to visit and talk to Ji Miao using that name.

Ka-chak.

The hands of the elderly woman, who was pruning the spider plant, trembled the moment she heard this and accidentally cut off the most robust leaf of the plant as a result.
The plant itself seemed to feel aggrieved.

“Say it again!”

She had yet to receive the remaining portion of the confidential files of Pei Ge’s company, so how could Ji Miao die? She had not allowed her to die.

“Madam, she ended her life inside the prison.
Her corpse is now in the mortuary of Ji Ziming’s hospital.”

Her close aide repeated.

He did not believe that the old lady was shocked with the lady’s death.
It was more likely that this old woman, who only counted her benefits and gain, was thinking of the remaining data.

Indeed.

“Then, did she tell you where the remaining data is when you went to see her?”

Old Lady Qu’s gaze was cold.
Coupled with her apathy, her voice sounded more frigid as though it was coming from above the abyss.

“No.
She refused to say anything no matter how hard I asked.”

Ka-chak.

This time, what was cut off was not just a piece of leaf but a lot.
With just a cut, more than half of the leaves on the left side of the spider plant were cut off.
The spider plant in the flower pot now only had the right side intact.

“Useless piece of sh*t!”

Her shrill voice was cruel and heartless.
The elderly woman’s dark eyes seemed scarier than the phantom of the night.

“Do you think it’s been returned to Pei Ge?”

She thought of a possibility, observing her close aide’s face with her sharp eyes.

“I don’t know about that.
I didn’t see her having any contact with Pei Ge in the days that we were in contact.”

The close aide purposely covered up for Ji Miao.

He had witnessed Ji Miao saying something into Pei Ge’s ears when he arrived at the railway station in H City, but as he was standing too far away, he did not manage to catch anything.
Rather, it was the shock on Pei Ge’s face that gave him a new clue.

“Did she really not? Perhaps you just don’t know at all?”

Old Lady Qu’s voice was sharp.
In fact, she knew that this close aide of hers had developed some feelings for Ji Miao that he should not have.
It might even be this close aide who had leaked the incident this time.

“Madam, are you suspecting me? I truly didn’t!”

With a thump, the close aide knelt down, thinking that if the old lady started distrusting him, he would likely not end much better than Ji Miao.
Moreover, he was still in this old lady’s private territory.
