His voice was cold. “Tell me how she died.”

He Yun then continued, “Because she was sleeping on the bed, the prison guards did not notice anything amiss. When they came to deliver lunch at noon, they realized that they could not wake her up no matter what, so they came in to see if she was abnormal, but they already saw Ji Miao’s cold and stiff corpse.”

“So, the prison guards didn’t notice her at all?”

Ji Ziming’s anger could no longer be concealed. Even Pei Ge, who was standing beside him, could feel the anger that was about to erupt from him.

“CEO, this is our fault.”

On the other side of the microphone, He Yun was at the door of Ji Miao’s prison. He watched as the doctor moved Ji Miao, who was already cold and stiff, onto the stretcher. The gray bed was already stained with large patches of blood. It was as if all of Ji Miao’s blood was on the blanket.

The gray blanket was even more terrifyingly red. In this dark prison, the smell of blood seemed to have dispersed the moment the prison guards discovered Ji Miao’s death. It brought with it a pungent smell that made one feel nauseous.

“I don’t want to hear this from you. Tell her the reason for her suicide and find out who she’s been meeting with recently. I need the most detailed and comprehensive record. If you can’t find out who she’s going to kill, or if you miss out on someone, then don’t stay in my company anymore.”

With that, he hung up the phone and looked at Pei Ge who was standing beside him. The sadness on her face made his heart ache again.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let her die so unjustly. I’ll find out the real reason for her death.”

Receiving Ji Ziming’s instructions, He Yun did not dare to be careless. He quickly investigated the number of people Ji Miao had met in the past few days, including the prison guards.

“She has another sister.”

Pei Ge choked. She did not expect to keep Ji Miao in prison. As long as she investigated the mastermind behind her, she would release Ji Miao. Even if she could not return to the company, she would still give Ji Miao a sum of money to treat her sister’s illness. The two of them would not have to worry about the rest of their lives.

However, Ji Miao did not live to enjoy that. Or rather, Pei Ge did not manage to wait to fulfill her wish.

She did not wait for Ji Miao to reveal the mastermind, nor did she wait for Ji Miao’s younger sister to recover.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already sent bodyguards to protect her. She’s already been taken to the hospital for surgery.”

Ji Ziming hugged Pei Ge’s waist and rested his chin on the top of her head. He gently patted her back and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, I’m still here.”

“But how sad would her sister be if she knew her sister was gone?”

Pei Ge did not dare to think about it. She was afraid of this separation and was even afraid that the person closest to her would leave her. She was unwilling to accept it and did not want to imagine what would happen to others if they were to encounter such a situation.

In fact, Pei Ge was not the only one who could not accept it. Even the cold-blooded Ji Ziming felt his heart ache.

When He Yun called again to report about Ji Miao, it was already noon the next day. Ji Ziming and Pei Ge had just walked out of the restaurant and got into the car when He Yun called.

“CEO, I’ve already checked. There’s only one suspicious person, but there’s no record of this person’s appearance at the moment. I’ll continue to investigate, so don’t worry. Also, Ji Miao left a letter for Madam. Because it was stained with blood, I’m still looking for someone to deal with it. I’ll send the letter to your office in half an hour.”

“Alright. If you don’t find the person, then be serious and investigate carefully. There will definitely be a time when he appears in this sea of people. Also, pay more attention to Old lady Qu recently. Qu Xiujie is still unconscious in the hospital. I’m worried that she will do something to him.”

“Yes, CEO.”

He Yun promised that as long as Ji Ziming did not blame him for not protecting him well, he would not mind.

With Ji Ziming’s new instructions, He Yun got even busier.

“A letter?”

Pei Ge could not believe it. However, now that Ji Miao had left, these letters were meaningless and would only make her feel even more guilty.

Death was another form of existence for life. It was different from the arrival of life, different from the essence of life. It was only because death was quieter when it arrived.

Ji Ziming brought Pei Ge into the office. He thought that if Pei Ge still felt upset, he would bring her to visit Ji Miao’s younger sister. Although her condition had been delayed for a long time, it did not affect her basic condition. As long as she received proper treatment, there was still a chance for her to recover.

This could be considered the final compensation for Ji Miao.

“Yes, Ji Miao wrote it for you. He Yun will send it over in half an hour.”

Ji Ziming’s watery eyes were gentle. Seeing the tears in Pei Ge’s eyes, his heart ached even more. His low voice seeped into her heart. “Don’t worry. I will cure Ji Miao’s sister.”

“I know.”

Pei Ge nodded. Even though Ji Miao was no longer around, her younger sister was still around. Ji Miao’s last words of thanks still rang in her ears.

By the time He Yun delivered the letter, Pei Ge had already sorted out her emotions. However, after reading the letter, her heart started panicking again. Before she knew it, she had actually become someone that others trusted the most.

Although Ji Miao betrayed Pei Ge in the end, she did not feel sad. Instead, she understood. As a mother, how could she ignore the situation when she needed her help the most?

For example, Ran Ran’s surgery, how Pei Ge was so worried about Ran Ran that she could not sleep for three days and three nights, and how she found out that Ji Chi was her child…

There were too many examples and Pei Ge could not count them all. As long as Ji Miao was willing, Pei Ge could even bring her younger sister with her. However, Ji Miao did not know about it anymore.

Even Pei Ge was unwilling to talk about this sad and dark past.

“What did the letter say?”

Ji Ziming asked softly. Looking at Pei Ge’s expression, he knew what Ji Miao was about to say. Perhaps, it had nothing to do with the truth or the murderer. It was only about her and Pei Ge. “She only told me to take care of her younger sister in the future.”
