He couldn't help but wonder what she was doing. He hadn't seen her looking at gossip on her phone. Could she be imagining something happy?
Fortunately, although Ye Jin was engrossed in gossiping, she was still observant and quickly noticed that Su Chengjing had returned.
During the life-or-death moment, she didn't have time to think about what Su Chengjing had said. However, now that the crisis was over and they were the only two people left in the room, the words he had said on the plane unconsciously came to mind.
Thinking about it now, it's actually a little embarrassing and awkward. I wonder if Su Chengjing will continue what he didn't finish saying during the day?
Ye Jin had always considered herself to be quite thick-skinned, but now she didn't know how to face Su Chengjing. She felt uneasy, yet also had a sense of anticipation that she herself didn't realize.
Su Chengjing spoke first, his tone serious, "The police have officially opened an investigation into today's incident, and I've also found a lot of evidence against Xie Haoyu. He definitely won't escape this time; it's just a matter of how many years he'll get. I estimate he'll be arrested in a few days."
Seeing Su Chengjing's serious expression, Ye Jin nodded in equal seriousness. "Oh, I understand." After thinking for a moment, she added, "I should be able to provide some evidence that should help Xie Haoyu get a longer sentence."
"Okay, then please take some time to organize it and send it to me. I will submit it to the police."
An eerie silence followed, and neither of them knew what to say for a moment.
Su Chengjing broke the silence, "Uh, it's getting late, let's all get some rest."
Is that all? Ye Jin felt a pang of disappointment.
But then she found it somewhat amusing. What was she so disappointed about? If Su Chengjing had finished speaking, how could she have responded?
However, she still felt a lingering sense of unease, so she wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, turned her body to the side of the bed, and refused to look at Su Chengjing again.
As for Su Chengjing, he was also very frustrated. He was never good at expressing his emotions, and the words he had spoken during the day had almost exhausted all his courage. Moreover, he had been scolded by Ye Jin after speaking, and now he no longer had the courage to say those words.
At least for today, he no longer had the courage; he was afraid to hear Ye Jin's rejection.

The two remained silent throughout the night. When Ye Jin woke up again, Su Chengjing was nowhere to be found.
Ha, this bastard, now that he's out of danger, he's not going to repeat what he said before? Is he planning to avoid her? She doesn't care!
Just then, the system popped up again, "Host, you've misunderstood the villain. He received an urgent call from his secretary early this morning, so he went to the company early. He wasn't deliberately avoiding you."
Ye Jin was speechless at the system's sudden explanation. Did women care about the truth when they were complaining? This system really had no tact!
Besides, does Su Chengjing have a job? She does too, okay? Tonight, she decided to drag Huo Yun to work overtime at the company until midnight before going home, hoping not to see Su Chengjing.
System: In that case, why don't you move to a different house? You already own several properties!
Of course, the system ultimately didn't say anything. In the past few days, it had sensed the host's fickleness, especially when facing the main villain. It didn't want to jump out and become cannon fodder to bear the host's wrath.

After finishing breakfast, Ye Jin went to Cloud Brocade Entertainment. Because of the nature of the company, there weren't many people working there. Since she arrived very early, she was the first person to arrive at the company!
Huo Yun considered herself quite diligent, but after arriving at the company and seeing that Ye Jin had already been working for at least half an hour, she couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.
Did she become lazy after a month-long vacation? Or did Ye Jin suddenly receive some enlightenment?
However, Huo Yun was always a very serious person, so she naturally wouldn't voice her inner thoughts. Besides, it was a good thing that Ye Jin was working hard, so she didn't dwell on it and began to happily discuss work with Ye Jin.
At this time, the filming of " The Phoenix First Rises " had reached the later stages. In this era of pursuing efficiency, the drama naturally adopted the mode of filming, editing and post-production at the same time. Several episodes of rough cuts had already been made, and the director also took the time to edit a trailer for investment promotion, which was quite effective.
Ye Jin always knew the saying that even the best wine needs advertising, so they had to use trailers to get the film reviewed by the platform to improve its rating and secure more advertising funding.
At the same time, they also plan to start the pre-production promotion of " The Phoenix First Rises ". Although they do not intend to bombard the audience's eyes with trending topics from the start of filming like some S+ dramas, it is still necessary to release some high-quality materials from time to time to arouse public interest.
Of course, besides " The Phoenix First Rises," they have also begun to prepare for investments in new projects. Although their drama has not yet been released and they have not been able to create a work that everyone can believe in, they cannot participate in the top-tier projects right now, but they can invest in some smaller projects.
Ultimately, they selected a low-budget art film and a modern youth campus drama. One was designed to build reputation and win awards, while the other aimed to appeal to elementary school students and generate viewership, striving to become a part of the childhood memories of a new generation.
The investments in these two films are not large. With their current financial reserves, they don't even need to find partners for investment; they can invest exclusively. As a result, the projects are being finalized and filming is progressing at an extremely fast pace.
After finishing all that, almost a month passed, and just as Su Chengjing had said before, Xie Haoyu was formally arrested by the police.
Chapter 49
Ye Jin was unable to witness this momentous event in person, but she could see the surveillance video from that time through the system.
