[Jin Li Yi Bei]: Thank you.
Seeing Li Beinian’s final message gave Nico an indescribable sense of relief.
He put his phone away and quickly wheeled himself out of the room.
Mu Xichen was not home yet by the time Li Beinian was done preparing dinner.
She picked up her cell phone and was about to call him, when she suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
It belonged to the capital, and the ending numbers were all 8s.
It was Nico.
Li Beinian picked up the call. Sure enough, the other party quickly said, “Beinian, it’s Nico.”
“Uh huh.”
Nico didn’t mind Li Beinian’s reaction and quickly said, “Thank you very much for your reminder. That young man had been brainwashed by someone. He was made to believe that the turtle and celery will taste very delicious when stewed together.”
Li Beinian raised her eyebrows slightly. “So, he wanted to cook that for all of you?”
“Yes.” Nico’s tone seemed to hold a deeper meaning. “He had sampled it yesterday when he was out and about, and after that managed to obtain a tutorial and recipe for it quite easily, so he wanted to try cooking it today.”
“Oh?” Li Beinian narrowed her eyes. “It appears that someone had already known that this man is a member of your staff. The purpose of them providing this tutorial is not that simple.”
Nico didn’t speak immediately. He was quiet for a moment before saying, “Thank you for your reminder, Beinian. I think there are a few matters that I should sort out.”
“Yes, it’s good that you realize it. You don’t have to be too formal with me. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
Li Beinian hung up the phone. She had a vague idea of the person who was up to something.
After some thought, she sent another WeChat message: Be careful. There’s a saying in Xia Nation: The human heart is unpredictable!
[Nico]: You’re right, people are unpredictable, thank you!
Li Beinian closed the page and called Mu Xichen.
No one answered. The phone rang for a long time before it was automatically disconnected.
Li Beinian bit her finger and frowned.
Suddenly, the doorbell chimed.
Li Beinian subconsciously thought that Mu Xichen was home.
However, the door was secured by an iris scan. If it were him, it would have automatically unlock.
Who could it be?
Li Beinian walked to the door and looked out through the peephole.
There was no one in view.
She frowned slightly. Just as she was about to turn around and walk back, the doorbell went off again.
She tiptoed and looked out once more. Just like before, there was no one in sight.
The cell phone in her hand vibrated. Li Beinian clicked into it and saw that a text message had e in.
It was a system number that was pletely unfamiliar: Hello, I’ve left your package at the door. e out and get it.
Li Beinian looked out again. Sure enough, a small box had been placed at the door.
However, there was still no one in sight.
Li Beinian narrowed her eyes and felt that something was amiss.
She had never given out the address of Tai Chen Prefecture. It was impossible for someone to send a package here.
Besides, how did this person know her phone number?
Li Beinian replied: What package? I’m not at home. Please take it back and send it tomorrow.
[Unknown Number]: You’re lying, I saw your eyes through the peephole.
Li Beinian’s heart sank and her body tensed up. She took a step back.
[Unfamiliar number]: Open the door and cooperate. Otherwise, your husband will be in grave danger ^ _ ^
Li Beinian’s heart was pounding wildly now, it was terrifyingly suffocating.
[Unknown Number]: [Picture]
It was a picture of Mu Xichen on the sofa and looking to the side as if he was talking to someone.
In front of him was a pile of contraband items.
