Alan exclaid in surprise, but Lou Xinyu simply couldn’t admit it.
She couldn’t believe it herself—she was actually... afraid sothing might happen to Wen Yaonan.
What was wrong with her?
Even though he had hurt her, she couldn’t stop thinking about him.
Lou Xinyu bit her lip hard, unable to recognize her own humiliating state.
Perhaps she’s going insane.
...
President’s Mansion.
The massive iron gates swung open as a procession of five black sedans silently entered.
The cars stopped, and an attendant approached, bowed respectfully, and opened the car door.
Xing Chen, dressed in a black Armani suit, walked into the villa’s living room with steady steps.
His pace was slightly faster than usual, his brows tightly furrowed, and his sharply defined face full of gloom.
The bodyguards who had arrived with him also disembarked, ticulously standing by outside the villa.
This is the President’s Mansion; though it’s not the official residence, the President often conducts business here, making it heavily guarded. Visitors cannot casually bring bodyguards in.
Xing Chen is the only one with the privilege to bring bodyguards into the President’s Mansion.
He quickly walked into the living room and imdiately saw Xiahou Chunyi sitting on the sofa flipping through docunts.
Five years have passed, and he hadn’t changed much—just looked more mature, with more complex emotions in his eyes, even more inscrutable and hidden.
Looks like five years as President have been quite eventful.
Xing Chen walked over, not bothering with pleasantries and directly said, "The list has been taken."
"Who took it? Managed to act right under your nose?" Xiahou Chunyi raised an eyebrow, looking at Xing Chen, his tone sowhat incredulous.
The task of safeguarding the list was entrusted to Xing Chen, as everyone believed only he can fulfill it.
Furthermore, there aren’t many people in the world who dare to offend Xing Chen.
Yet, just days in A City, and he’s already telling the list is missing?
"Xiangsi took it. She seems to have started so partnership with Fu Jingxuan." As he ntioned this, Xing Chen furrowed his brow hard again!
Recalling the intimacy between Ran Xiangsi and Fu Jingxuan before, and the kiss he didn’t see, his heart felt heavy!
Even if it’s a partnership, it shouldn’t be this intimate!
"Sister-in-law? She..." Xiahou Chunyi instinctively wanted to ask if it was just a couple’s quarrel, but seeing Xing Chen’s dark face, he knew it was definitely not just a play fight. "What’s really going on?"
Xing Chen, with a furrowed brow, recounted everything that had just happened to Xiahou Chunyi.
After all, this ti, he needed to leverage Xiahou Chunyi’s power.
Hearing the entire situation, Xiahou Chunyi also beca serious, looking at Xing Chen worriedly, "Are you... okay?"
"What could be wrong? The list ans nothing to ," Xing Chen threw out nonchalantly.
"Your wife ran off with soone else, and you... aren’t you upset?" Xiahou Chunyi cut to the chase.
He knew his brother was always calm and composed.
But as a man, if his wife took his belongings and ran off with another man, shouldn’t it be a ti of fury, of life and death?
How could he remain so calm?
Hearing this, Xing Chen’s deep gaze suddenly beca imnsely sharp, he glanced coldly at Xiahou Chunyi, causing Xiahou Chunyi to shiver involuntarily!
"Isn’t that what you said? Your wife took the list, boarded a plane with Fu Jingxuan, and ran?"
