In room 701, Li Mu continued to smoke and monitor the parking lot.
About forty minutes later, there was a knock on the door and He Xiaoyu yelled outside, "Open the door. It's me!"
Li Mu ran over and opened the door. He immediately ran to the window to continue his surveillance, not waiting for He Xiaoyu to come in.
He Xiaoyu walked into the room, closed the door, turned on the exhaust fan and said with a frown, "You need to smoke less. You're almost invisible in such a smoky room."
"Charge my phone!" said Li Mu.
He dumped his phone on the bed and continued to stare at the car park.
He Xiaoyu charged his phone, walked over to him and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"They were driving Lin Wan's car and I was waiting for her."
"Are you sure they will come?"
"Not sure, but what I can ensure is that she was out all night yesterday, staying with a man here."
"They stayed here yesterday, but it doesn't mean they'll come today. I'm afraid it's not a good idea for you to wait like this."
Li Mu froze and thought, "Yes, He Xiaoyu is right. Isn't it a bit impulsive for me to do this?"
After hesitating for a moment, Li Mu still said obstinately, "I think they will come back again. There's no need to change the hotel. Don't you think it’s troublesome to do so? As long as they don't go to my house, the likelihood of them coming here is the highest."
"And what if they go to your house?"
"It doesn't matter. I told her that I wouldn't be home until the day after tomorrow. If I can't wait for them here, I'll get them home!"
He Xiaoyu also peered down. She looked for a moment and reached out to tug on Li Mu's arm.
"I've brought you some food. Go and have something to eat while I spy for you!"
"I'm not hungry and I'm not in the mood to eat. Just leave me alone. "
"No way. You haven't eaten all day, have you? Torturing yourself when it comes to things like this is not the way to go. Go and have something to eat. It's won’t take you much time."
The two argued for a while. Li Mu finally took her suggestion since he was unable to persuade her.
He Xiaoyu sat on Li Mu's seat and said without looking back, "Everything is in my bag. Go and take a shower after you eat. You stink so much."
Li Mu ate and showered quickly. He then returned to the window.
The two monitored the car park together. Unknowingly, it was already 8 p.m. He Xiaoyu yawned and reached out to knock Li Mu’s head.
"Bro, stop waiting. They won't come today. Let's go home and see!"
Li Mu felt a little frustrated but he also thought that there was no point continuing to wait. No one could eat for more than three hours. They couldn’t be that gluttonous.
Li Mu was just about to follow He Xiaoyu's advice when he suddenly saw a car driving into the car park. It was dark at the moment and the color of the bodywork could not be seen clearly from a distance.
By the time the car passed the street light, Li Mu finally saw its color. A red car. It was Lin Wan's car.
"No need to go home. They're back!"
He Xiaoyu also spotted the car and hurriedly took her mobile phone to record.
The car stopped in the parking space and the young man got out of the car with Lin Wan. They walked towards the hotel lobby, talking and laughing.
"Shame on her!" He Xiaoyu cursed in a low voice.
Li Mu shook his head with a bitter smile. He sighed heavily and walked quickly to the door, looking out through the peephole.
"What are you looking at?" He Xiaoyu whispered."Three possible floors, the 7th, 9th, and 15th. I have to make sure which floor they are.""Li Mu, what if she really has affair with other men?"He Xiaoyu walked behind Li Mu and asked the question she was most concerned about."Humph. Divorce!" Li Mu answered without thinking."Yes! Why continue living with such a whore? Divorce her. I agree with you!"He Xiaoyu seemed quite happy to hear Li Mu's words.Li Mu didn't say anything, just staring at the elevator.After a while, one elevator started to run. It stopped on the 1st floor before rising steadily and stopping on the 4th, 9th, and 17th floor respectively. Finally, it stopped on the 17th floor."I see. They are on the 9th floor!" Li Mu said affirmatively."Let's go!" He Xiaoyu said immediately."Don't hurry. They won't be that quick
After a while, a man answered from the room, "What's the matter?""Sir, we serve customers free fruit today. Please open the door to accept your fruit." He Xiaoyu lied without hesitation.The man said impatiently after a few seconds of silence, "Take it away. I don't need it."He Xiaoyu looked at Li Mu helplessly. Li Mu smiled and said unhurriedly, "Lin Wan, I am Li Mu. Are you naked now? To be honest, I am here to catch your adultery red-handed. Open the door before I count to three. Otherwise, just wait for the divorce agreement."Then he began to count immediately. By the time he counted to two, the door was slammed open and Lin Wan, neatly dressed, rushed out."You put on your clothes so fast. Awesome!" He Xiaoyu mocked her maliciously."You, you talk rot!" Lin Wan said angrily.Li Mu pushed her aside and was about to walk into the room.Lin Wan pulled him behind, "What
The room was crowded with the noises and the sound of fighting, which finally alarmed the hotel security. A few big guys rushed in and forced the two men who were still fighting to be separated.Li Mu breathed fiercely with his clothes in a mess and blood on the corner of his mouth. He still looked like an indignant air.But Lin Kun was in a much worse situation, with a bloody nose and a swollen face. His whole face was covered in bruises, which made it hard to recognize him.Even worse, his nose was broken by Li Mu and exaggeratedly bent to one side.A security guard who looked like their leader asked, "Sir, do you need an ambulance?""No need!" Lin Kun muttered. He covered his nose with his hands and fiercely twisted it with a crunching sound. And when he loosened his hands, the nasal bone was already in place with blood flowing rapidly out of his nose."Sh*t! He is capable of doing such a thing t
He Xiaoyu saw Lin Wan's saddened expression.She shrugged and said with a relaxed expression, "Don't get me wrong. I just got here. I came here to help my senior fellow get your adultery evidence. Nothing happened between us. I'm not like you. I am unwilling to sleep casually with a man.""That's just bullsh*t. I didn't do anything unfaithful to my husband either. You mustn't drive a wedge between us. What are you trying to get from this? Don't you think I don't know? I've never done anything wrong to hurt others. I've done all things with a clear conscience!" Lin Wan exclaimed."Keep lying. May I ask where and with whom did you sleep last night?""I live in room 908 with Mrs. Hong, and Lin Kun lives in room 1516 alone. If you don't believe it, you can go to the front desk to check!"After finishing speaking, Lin Wan looked at her husband Li Mu. These words were apparently said for him.Li Mu frowne
In the end, they chose to drive Fang Qiang's car.Li Mu couldn't identify the reasons, but indeed he began to dislike the red Toyota.He Xiaoyu triumphantly got in the front passenger seat first and looked happy.Lin Wan bit her lip and sat silently in the back seat. She turned her face and looked out of the car window, looking preoccupied.Li Mu ignored her feelings because he thought there were still many doubts, for example, why she lied and why she turned off GPS.If Lin Kun were really her relative, why did she hide the truth from him? Was her relative too stigmatized to be presented to others?Li Mu didn't believe Lin Wan's explanation at all.He thought that Lin Wan was still lying and concealing the truth. She hoped that he could trust her. But shouldn't the basis of mutual trust be honest with each other?How could a woman full of lies be qualified to be trusted by
After hanging up the call, Li Mu continued driving. And Lin Wan asked him with some displeasure, "It's Fang Qiang, right?""Yes.""Did you tell him about it as well?"Li Mu glanced at the rearview mirror and replied with an expressionless face, "Yes!""You!" Lin Wan sat up straight, "Why are you telling them everything? Is it necessary to let them know about the misunderstanding between the two of us?""They're my best friends, ok? When I don't know what to do, who else can I count on except for them?""Why don't you come to me and ask me for clarification?""Come to you? Are you at home then? Will you tell me the truth?"Lin Wan got silent for a moment, and spoke in an injured voice, "I did lie to you. It's my fault. Honey, I'm sorry. But I did that for a reason.""Okay. Tell me the reason when we arrive home instead of continuing to deceive me. Xiaoyu is righ
Lin Wan’s analysis was right. Before this happened, Xiaoyu almost let go of Li Mu. After all, there were tons of other nice men out there. She did not want to become the other woman.Although she felt reluctant, he was a married man. She could become friends with him, but she should not develop any affectionate feelings for him.However, Lin Wan’s behavior made Xiaoyu have second thoughts. Since Lin Wan did not appreciate Li Mu, why couldn’t she take him away from Lin Wan?In the past, she thought this way of thinking was immoral, but now, it seemed pretty reasonable!How could Lin Wan cheat on Li Mu yet at the same time expect him to be loyal to her? Who did she think she was?Since Lin Wan could not stay faithful, Xiaoyu thought she should let go of Li Mu as soon as possible.Hence, she decided to not give up on this opportunity. Not only did she want to help Li Mu escape from a bad marriage, but
“Oh, come on! He’s my cousin. How can you... Fine, I’ll cut ties with him, but you have to cut ties with He Xiaoyu too!”“Don’t carry it too far. Tell me why you bailed your marriage.”“No way! You have to promise me that you’ll cut ties with He Xiaoyu! I don’t like her either!”“Alright, I know what the boundaries are. Now get into the story!”Lin Wan stared at Li Mu for a moment before continuing, “My parents worked in the construction industry, and they wanted me to marry their business partner’s son. I didn’t want to, so I ran away from home, came to Shanyang, and eventually met you.”“But you told me that your parents passed away, and you’re all alone. You’re really something. Not only did you lie, but you even curse your family to death! How cruel!”“I never lied. I told you that my family is not around, but I never said that they were dead.”“Why didn’t you tell me the whole stor
