“Did those people look for you again after that?” Lu Jingli asked from the side .

“Not anymore after that, but they said that they might have tasks for me to do anytime . . . Probably waiting for a chance to attack . . . They even threatened me not to tell anyone . . . Otherwise, my brother will be in danger . . . “

The reason Xiao Tao would say all of these today, on one hand, was that after she saw Ning Xi in that condition, she broke down out of guilt .

On the other hand, she knew that this place was definitely safe, so she had completely relaxed all her defenses and admitted all of this .

When she thought about Ning Xi, Xiao Tao started to break down in tears again . “Bro Xi was so good to me . She trusted me so much . . . She never suspected me at all . . . Other artistes would always order their assistants around . When they’re in a bad mood, they would even beat and scold them at every turn, but Bro Xi has always been so gentle to me . he would always think of me whenever there was something yummy or fun . I was clearly the assistant, yet she was always worried that I’d be tired . She wouldn’t let me do all the dirty and tiring work . . .

“This period when I worked alongside Bro Xi was some of my happiest days . If I could . . . I really wish I could accompany Bro Xi for the rest of her journey . . . “

Sadly, there was probably no chance of that anymore .

As she listened to Xiao Tao, Ling Zhizhi did not know what to say . Even though she could not believe that the person who betrayed Ning Xi was the person she trusted the most, she could not find much fault with Xiao Tao’s situation .

Xiao Tao took a deep breath . She stopped crying and begged Lu Tingxiao, “CEO Lu, I’ve let Bro Xi down with her care and trust towards me . I’ve let the company down . You can punish me as you wish! But I’m afraid that after those people find out about my confession here, they’ll fly into a rage and something might happen to my brother . . . I know that you’re a resourceful person . You can punish me any way you want, but could you . . . could you help my brother?”

In an instant, everyone looked at Lu Tingxiao .

Lu Tingxiao said, “I won’t punish you . You’re Xiao Xi’s person . Even if there’s punishment, it should be decided by her . As for your brother, if you trust me, I’ll guarantee his safety, but I’ll state beforehand, you must comply with all my arrangements . “

On the side, Lu Jingli explained, “He means just pretend that today didn’t happen . Continue to keep in touch with their end and be our spy . If they have any movements, you must tell us right away!”

Xiao Tao was ready to expect the worst, yet she would never have thought that such an outcome awaited her .

She knew that Lu Tingxiao had given her a chance for Ning Xi’s sake . Xiao Tao’s tears started to fall again and she nodded profusely, “I can cooperate with everything you guys want! As long as I can make up for my past mistakes!”

“About your brother, if other people can touch him, so can I,” Lu Tingxiao added with an ice-cold expression .

Clearly, he did not trust anyone .

Xiao Tao suddenly felt her spine shiver . Her body trembled like a sift chaff . “I understand, I understand . . . “

She knew that she had betrayed Ning Xi once and that she was not deemed trustworthy anymore . She could completely understand CEO Lu’s actions .

Instead of being on edge every day, she might as well trust CEO Lu . Even if she was exploited by CEO Lu, it would be better than being threatened by those people .

Ling Zhizhi looked at the way Lu Tingxiao handled things and let out a breath of relief . It seemed like the best course of action . Ning Xi was currently in an unusual phase . If they suddenly changed the assistant that had worked by her side for so long, this would alert the enemy . If they got another person, forget about not being able to explain the situation to the new person, she would not feel at ease using them either . . .
