Chapter 369 - 362: Each Has Their Own Fate (Part 1)
In the empty factory building, Ma Li was feeling a bit anxious, pacing back and forth.
"Why are you walking around like that?" Her husband Aqiang came over, his tone filled with displeasure.
"I always feel like something’s going to happen, I’m uneasy..." Ma Li’s expression turned tense, she looked up at the small window above, "Why is it so quiet outside?"
"What are you always imagining? You create trouble when there isn’t any!" Aqiang waved his big hand dismissively, he truly disliked this woman’s paranoid behavior.
Ma Li bit her lip, planning to tolerate this man for just a little longer. Once the deal was done, she’d divorce him right after getting her hands on the money!
Just then, Ma Li’s phone rang, sounding particularly jarring in the quiet factory.
She glanced at the caller ID, hurriedly walked to a corner to answer, "Chuan, what’s up?"
Bai Chuan fiddled with the lighter in his hand, his eyes watching his watch, "Nothing much, just missing you."
Ma Li’s face flushed, thinking of Bai Chuan’s extraordinary looks, she couldn’t wait for the deal to end so she could be with him.
"I’m busy, I’ll contact you after I’m done." Ma Li lowered her voice, not wanting their conversation to be overheard.
"When will you be done? What are you busy with?"
Aqiang saw Ma Li’s face filled with a coy smile as she carefully answered the phone, his eyes turned cold, and he walked over to Ma Li angrily.
Seeing Aqiang, Ma Li’s expression changed, she hurriedly said to Bai Chuan, "Chuan, I can’t talk to you now. After this deal is done, I’ll come find you. We’ll leave this place then!"
"Alright!" Bai Chuan grinned, casually said, "Goodbye."
"Goodbye!"
Before Aqiang reached her, Ma Li hung up the phone, looking at him calmly, "Why aren’t you over there, what are you coming over for?"
Aqiang glared at Ma Li sinisterly, "Is it that pretty boy?"
"What are you talking about?" Ma Li’s face faltered, but she maintained her composure.
"Hmph!" Aqiang snorted coldly, "Don’t think I don’t know about your little affairs! You want a divorce from me? I’ll tell you now; that’s never going to happen! After this deal is over, I’ll go kill that punk!"
"You wouldn’t dare!" Ma Li’s eyes widened, "If you dare touch him, I’m not done with you! I’m not to be underestimated; you know my capabilities after working for the boss all these years, don’t force me to do something you’ll regret!"
Aqiang paused, a flash of sadness in his eyes before it was replaced by ruthlessness, "After the deal is done, I’ll take my time settling scores with both you and that pretty boy!"
Finished speaking, Aqiang walked ahead. The others were already waiting impatiently, "Is your boss coming or not? Is the deal still on?"
Aqiang looked at the man with disdain, "What? You want my boss to stab you again?"
The man shrunk back, remembering the last incident vividly.
"Your Mr. Dong isn’t here either, yet you dare say our boss is slow!" Ma Li followed, speaking in a cold voice.
The man fell silent, he considered himself an intellectual, refusing to stoop to the level of these callous criminals.
In the office, Wu Chengzu sat on a reclining chair resting, he often felt his sleep was insufficient, making his thinking unclear.
Chen Bei knocked and entered, Wu Chengzu sharply opened his eyes with a wolfish fierceness.
Chen Bei paused, "Boss, you were right. The police are indeed lying in ambush there; we have a mole!"
