Chapter 1790: The True Mastermind Behind the Scenes
At six o’clock in the evening, Xiao Zheng picked up Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran from work on time.
After returning home, he was ready to go out again.
Seeing this, Chu Xiaoran curiously asked, "Xiao Zheng, aren’t you eating at home tonight? Why are you going out again just after returning?"
Leng Ruobing just glanced at Xiao Zheng and didn’t speak.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng replied calmly, "It’s Long Qie who asked for me, he says there’s something he wants to discuss. I’ll probably be busy all night and return tomorrow."
Chu Xiaoran didn’t doubt it, nodded, and then helped Leng Ruobing into the house.
As for Xiao Zheng, he drove towards the Golden Continent Building.
After parking his car in the parking lot, he happened to bump into Mo Anna who was also arriving to park.
The two exchanged smiles, and Mo Anna walked over, linked her arm through his, and smiled charmingly, "You’re really punctual today. I thought I would arrive before you."
Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh, "Listen to you. I’m always on time, okay? Especially when it’s a date with a beautiful woman, I naturally arrive early to show my sincerity."
"How did your mouth become so sweet after going out? Like it’s coated in honey," Mo Anna laughed, covering her mouth.
In response, Xiao Zheng laughed, "Did I often tease you before? I’ve always been friendly to beauties, and I only say nice things, which all come from the heart."
Mo Anna listened happily, leaning half of her body on Xiao Zheng.
Taking the elevator, the two arrived at the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the Golden Continent Building.
Upon entering, Xiao Zheng noticed the restaurant was doing very well.
Everywhere he looked, it was almost full of people.
Fortunately, Mo Anna had called ahead to reserve a spot; otherwise, they might have to change plans and dine at another restaurant.
After checking the reservation, the waiter led them to a table by the window.
Next to the table was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, allowing them to enjoy their meal while admiring the beautiful night view of Zhonghai City. Even Xiao Zheng felt this was quite a nice experience.
"No wonder it attracts so many guests; this revolving restaurant indeed has its appeal."
Xiao Zheng laughed and said.
With a smile, Mo Anna said, "The places I choose are certainly not bad. By the way, is the issue with the Su Family resolved? Zimo should be fine now, right?"
She still didn’t know about Su Zimo’s kidnapping or what happened afterward.
Not intending to hide it, Xiao Zheng recounted his trip to Jiangnan Province in detail.
Upon learning the whole story, Mo Anna felt a sudden chill in her heart, "I never imagined the Lu Family would dare to do something so crazy! Luckily you got to Jiangnan Province in time; otherwise, Zimo would have been in real trouble!"
"Exactly. At that time, if I had been an hour late, Zimo’s life would’ve been in danger," Xiao Zheng said.
Mo Anna nodded, then suddenly made a strange expression and said, "You also call Zimo so intimately, is there something between you and her..."
Mo Anna didn’t finish her sentence.
Xiao Zheng’s expression was slightly awkward, and he didn’t respond to her.
At such a moment, silence was a kind of tacit admission.
Mo Anna couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "I knew you’d fall for Zimo. It’s understandable; even as a woman, I’m captivated by her beauty."
"By the way, why didn’t you bring her back? Is it appropriate to leave her in Jiangnan Province?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh and said, "What’s wrong with that? Her home is in Jiangnan Province, and besides, she’s gone abroad now."
"Abroad? Why did she go abroad when everything with the Lu Family is resolved?" Mo Anna asked in surprise. "Why did she go abroad?"
"She’s studying abroad; she’s still a student, and her studies are important," Xiao Zheng replied.
But after speaking, his smile froze for a moment.
Xiao Zheng thought of Catherine, who lost contact suddenly in Europe, and wondered what might have happened to her.
"Perhaps I should go to Europe again."
Xiao Zheng mumbled, almost as if talking to himself.
Mo Anna was first stunned, then asked in surprise, "You’re going to Europe again? When do you plan to go? Shouldn’t this Europe trip be different from the last one?"
Her gaze filled with concern as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "It shouldn’t be. Last time was just a minor accident."
"A minor accident? You almost didn’t come back!" Mo Anna exclaimed, glaring at him, "Anyway, I don’t care. You must be careful this time in Europe! If you encounter any incident again, I won’t live either!"
Her eyes turned red, sparkling with tears.
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng smiled, held her hand, and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t let myself be in danger. Plus, I have a compelling reason to go this time. I’ll be back in at most ten days or two weeks."
Seeing his firm intention to go, Mo Anna couldn’t say anything else. She nodded and quietly started eating, but perhaps because of Xiao Zheng’s sudden decision to go to Europe, the dining atmosphere turned somewhat heavy.
After dinner, Mo Anna led Xiao Zheng into the adjacent hotel.
After checking in, they entered the room.
Without saying a word, Mo Anna pushed Xiao Zheng onto the soft bed...
After a night of passion, Xiao Zheng slept until ten in the morning the next day.
When he opened his eyes, he found Mo Anna had quietly left the hotel.
Sitting on the bed, Xiao Zheng recalled the night’s wildness.
Suddenly, he couldn’t help but laugh, shook his head, and prepared to get dressed and check out. However, at that moment, his phone suddenly rang.
Xiao Zheng picked up the phone to see, and a flash of joy appeared in his eyes.
Because the call was from Catherine.
Xiao Zheng hurriedly pressed the answer button, but instead of hearing Catherine’s voice, there was silence.
Without hearing Catherine’s voice, a bad thought quickly crossed his mind.
After who knows how long, a man’s voice finally sounded over the call...
