Chapter 955 - 974: Deliberately Making Things Difficult for Lin Mubai
Afterward, Han Xiayang ran as fast as a rabbit, and soon, Shen Mengqi couldn’t see his figure anymore, only hearing his distant shouts: "Wife, you have to wait for me to come back, I’ll return soon."
"Okay."
Effortlessly uttering this word, Shen Mengqi couldn’t help but curl a smile at the corner of her mouth, a realization dawning inside her. Despite using An Nan’s reputation, the truth was her willing consent. If she wasn’t willing, how could she still be entangled with this man, letting him into her life, unable to disentangle from him?
Therefore, everything can only be described with one sentence: it’s mutual willingness.
In this period, with the company of this man, she rarely thought of another man anymore, and she believed that given some more time, she would surely forget him.
Han Xiayang quickly investigated everything, and to repay Young Master Lin, he had no hesitation in dialing his phone in the middle of the night.
Lin Mubai was in a drowsy sleep when his phone’s ringtone woke him up. Fearing disturbing An Nan’s sleep, he hurriedly picked up his phone with displeasure: "You better have something important, or I won’t let you off." Without even glancing at the number on the screen, he warned directly.
Han Xiangyang wasn’t afraid, knowing that Heaven is high and the emperor far away, and it was late at night. Even if this man wanted to teach him a lesson, he couldn’t find him immediately, so he spoke arrogantly and nonchalantly into the phone: "Didn’t you ask me to investigate An Liyang’s matters? I’ve now thoroughly investigated them, so naturally, I should tell you right away. Additionally, I’ve discovered a shocking secret, which I think you would want to know. But if you dare hang up now, I can guarantee that I’ll quit my job tomorrow."
Holding the phone, Mu Bai’s handsome face instantly twisted in anger, yet he truly didn’t hang up, having to admit that Han Xiayang indeed knew him well.
With a gloomy face, he cautiously got out of bed, went to the room’s balcony, and the cold air rushing at him made his whole body shiver with piercing cold, while also banishing his sleepiness entirely.
His voice returning to its usual coldness, he threw a single word toward the phone: "Spit."
The person on the other end of the phone, receiving this disrespectful word, wasn’t angered in the least and instead calmly reported what he had found.
Alright, he admitted he was deliberately dragging time. If his guess was correct, the man on the other side of the phone, to avoid disturbing his wife’s sleep, must have walked to the balcony with his phone. In this hellishly cold winter, this man dared to disturb his plans, so he didn’t mind letting him suffer a bit, making himself feel better inside.
Thus, something that should take ten minutes to report, he managed to drag out to half an hour. Only after satisfying himself did he hang up the phone when Lin Mubai’s entire body had become ice-cold.
Holding the phone with the disconnected tone, Lin Mubai continued to stand alone on the balcony for about ten more minutes before turning back into the room.
