"What's going on?"
She mouthed silently, asking Pei Jiangmu with her lips.
Pei Jiangmu leaned over and whispered, "I'll explain it to you later, Sister. For now, let's just kick the dog when it's down."
After saying that, without even looking at the ashen - faced Li Ming, he turned his gaze to Lele, who was scared out of her wits, and simply said, "Bag."
It was just one word, but it carried an undeniable command.
Lele shivered in fear. She fumbled to pick up the limited - edition handbag from the side.
Then, almost holding it with both hands, she tremblingly returned it to Yi Mo. All her previous arrogance was gone.
Yi Mo took back the bag she had lost and found again. Her feelings were complex, a mix of elation and a sense of unreality.
At this moment, Pei Jiangmu asked in a voice that only the three of them could hear, "Are you feeling better? Do you want to beat him up before we leave?"
Only then did Yi Mo come to her senses. She glanced at the ashen - faced Li Ming.
"No, no. Although I didn't really get to do much and this thing ended so quickly that I'm still a bit dazed."
"But I'm already feeling refreshed. There's no need to get my hands dirty."
"I'm afraid that if he becomes destitute, he might try to extort money from me."
After she finished speaking, she immediately looked at Sun Dong.
"President Sun, this scumbag changed the password at home, and I still have a lot of things that I haven't retrieved."
"Can the company step in and help me get my things back?
"Those are all things I bought myself. I'd rather sell them second - hand and donate the money to a charity than let this scumbag benefit from them."
She asked the company to step in also to show the company that she was completely cutting ties with Li Ming.
No matter how big a mess this guy made, it had nothing to do with her.
Sun Dong's face was still clearly unpleasant when he looked at Li Ming.
But after hearing Yi Mo's words, he immediately changed his expression to one of concern and looked at her.
"Yi Mo, the company is also responsible for this matter."
"If I hadn't been blind and let this scum into the company, you two wouldn't have met, and you wouldn't have been deceived."
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this. The company will compensate you for all your losses."
Actually, his relationship with Yi Mo had always been just so - so.
He had heard a lot of bad things about Yi Mo from Li Ming.
But now, the way he looked at Yi Mo was almost overflowing with honey.
How could he have known that this actress who had just signed a contract with the company for less than two years had such a powerful backer?
She was going to be the company's cash cow from now on.
He had to hold on to this thigh tightly.
Yi Mo didn't know what he was thinking. She was a bit flattered by his politeness.
She was stunned for a moment and then nodded. "Oh, okay. Well, then I'll leave first. Please let me know when the company has sorted things out."
After saying that, a bit dazed but extremely happy, she ignored this mess. Naturally, she put her arm around Meng Ruochao's shoulder.
She said to Pei Jiangmu, "Let's go. The air here is bad."
Pei Jiangmu nodded and followed the two girls. Under the silent protection of several black - suited men, he calmly walked through the silent crowd and left this noisy place.
Behind them, in the booth, was Li Ming, his face ashen and his future ruined, and a group of onlookers, stunned and terrified.
It wasn't until they walked out of the bar that the cool night wind blew on their faces.
Only then did Yi Mo seem to come to her senses. Looking at Pei Jiangmu beside her, she murmured.
"Little Brother Pei, what on earth is going on? Why is my boss here? How do you two know each other?"
Meng Ruochao also stared at him intently, as if she had a million questions to ask.
Pei Jiangmu turned his head and gave Meng Ruochao a gentle and slightly innocent smile.
As if the man with an imposing aura just now wasn't him.
"After we went in just now, didn't I go to the restroom first?"
He explained slowly.
Indeed, after they came in, he had first gone to the restroom and called Qi Yu to find out where the arranged people were.
After all, a conflict could happen at any time, and he had to ensure safety first.
Qi Yu had told him that not only had bodyguards been sent over, but the boss of Shiyao Entertainment had also been informed.
Even the evidence they had found before had been sent over.
It turned out that when they were investigating Yi Mo before, Qi Yu had also looked into Li Ming.
After all, Pei Jiangmu's consistent principle regarding the people around Meng Ruochao was to "investigate everyone" and not let anyone slip through the net.
Then they easily discovered that this Li Ming had a lot of problems.
He was arrogant, promiscuous, and dishonest.
Naturally, Qi Yu had kept this evidence.
There couldn't be such a person around Meng Ruochao.
Even if he was just her best friend's boyfriend, it was still unacceptable.
At that time, they didn't know that the two were already in the process of breaking up.
Qi Yu had thought that if Meng Ruochao and Yi Mo were really good friends, they would find a suitable opportunity later to show Yi Mo Li Ming's true colors.
Even if Yi Mo didn't want to break up, they had plenty of ways to make Li Ming leave on his own.
In short, there couldn't be such scum around Meng Ruochao, especially in her close circle.
Who would have known that before they could act, Yi Mo had taken matters into her own hands.
So Qi Yu had immediately contacted Sun Dong and asked him to come and deal with this scumbag himself.
When contacting him, he didn't use Pei Jiangmu's name directly.
Instead, he told Sun Dong that Yi Mo shouldn't have to suffer this kind of injustice. If he didn't help Yi Mo get revenge, they would take action against Shiyao Entertainment.
Sun Dong was, after all, the head of a company. He knew what was more important.
More importantly, Li Ming, a guy who betrayed the company for personal gain, didn't deserve his forgiveness.
So he had rushed over immediately.
Now, Pei Jiangmu's explanation was that he had met Sun Dong in the restroom.
At that time, he had heard Sun Dong calling the company's finance department and mentioning Li Ming and Yi Mo.
He had asked a few questions. Maybe Sun Dong was too angry, and seeing that he said he was Yi Mo's friend, he had told him everything.
He said that the company's finance department had discovered that Li Ming had embezzled public funds, so he had come today to settle the score with Li Ming.
Then Pei Jiangmu had said, "Why don't we let Yi Mo go and cut ties with Li Ming first?"
After all, it was okay for Li Ming to fall, but Yi Mo was an actress of the company, and her image needed to be protected.
Sun Dong thought it made sense and said that they could go first.
"Is that it? So my boss let me go and get revenge first, and then he came to deal a heavy blow?"
"Those bodyguards were also brought by my boss?"
"Did you act so imposingly towards him because you knew he had embezzled public funds and was bound to be in trouble?"
"Do you know? When I saw you like that just now, I almost wondered if I didn't know you anymore. You were so handsome."
After hearing his explanation, Yi Mo let out several exclamations in a row and then teased Pei Jiangmu.
"I was thinking at that time, who on earth is Little Brother Pei? Does he have some hidden identity? He has such a strong aura, just like a person in a high position."
Pei Jiangmu stiffened for a moment and then smiled a bit shyly.
"I'm just a student and a part - time employee of yours, Sister."
