Chapter 6 - Who Dares to Punish You

Jing Ze touched his face. "Damn it, you wretched girl. You slap so hard."

"A girl?"

"Yes, someone has infiltrated the Jing family." Jing Ze's gaze was deep and his brows were slightly furrowed. "We still don't know anything about her."

Unfortunately, there was no light at all, so he could not see the other person's face clearly.

"Hey, what's this?" Shang Ziyu suddenly realized that there was a red string hanging on Jing Ze's cufflinks.

He removed the red string, and Jing Ze snatched it away.

The red string must have hung on Jing Ze accidentally when he was entangled with that woman. With this, it would be easy to find out who that woman was.

Jing Ze's lips curled into a devilish smile.

The work in the garden was tiring and dirty. It was spring, so the servants assigned to the garden were complaining incessantly.

During the lunch break, Lin Xingyun sat on the grass to take some rest. The distance between the garden and the hall was too far and she had no chance to enter.

"You! Come here!"

A condescending voice was heard. Lin Xingyun looked around and finally found the source of the voice.

It was such a mesmerizing face with deep and sharp facial features. Under the handsome eyebrows was a pair of cold eyes. The bridge of his nose was high as he had sexy lips and a tempting jawline.

The black suit he was wearing gave him a cold aura.

It was Lin Xingyun's first time seeing such a handsome man.

"Hey, are you listening?" The man's chiding shocked Lin Xingyun.

"Me?" Lin Xingyun pointed at herself.

"Who else?"

Lin Xingyun walked over immediately. Her instinct told her that this man had a special status in the Jing family.

"Do you know who I am?" The man's thin lips parted slightly, and his deep voice made him even sexier.

"I'm sorry, I'm new here."

The man glanced at her with a look of contempt.

"I'm Jing Ze."

Lin Xingyun's eyes widened. The Young Master of the Jing family? In ancient times, he would be the Crown Prince of the Emperor!

The document that she wanted must be by his side. Lin Xingyun secretly rejoiced that she had some luck with her.

"Young Master Jing, is there anything?"

"Take me out."

"Take... you... out?"

"Don't you understand me? We'll leave immediately!" Jing Ze turned around and left.

Lin Xingyun stood in place, took a deep breath, and followed him. This was a good opportunity to curry favor with Jing Ze, but she was hesitant.

If the rumors were true, then she probably would not be able to get any useful information from Jing Ze and might even get into big trouble.

"Hurry up!" Jing Ze said impatiently, "tell the person in charge of guarding the door that Young Madam is looking for them. Do you understand me?"

Jing Ze's voice was like an imperial edict as Lin Xingyun dared not disobey him.

Lin Xingyun followed Jing Ze in a daze, and she was trying to think fast.

If she really brought Jing Ze out, she would most likely be fired tomorrow!

At the door, Jing Ze raised his chin and motioned for Lin Xingyun to come forward. Lin Xingyun pursed her lips. "Young Master Jing, do you really want to go out there?"

"Nonsense!"

"If I bring you out, will I be punished?"

"Who would dare to punish you?"

"Alright, let me tell them about this." Lin Xingyun slowly walked to the guards and whispered a few words.
