After a few more glances, Huang Bo decided to speak up. “Boss, there’s something I want to…”
“Speak.”
“While I was driving Assistant Yin’s car back to the hotel, I checked her car’s data recorder and found something strange.”
Qin Jinhuan’s resting eyes suddenly opened wide, but he remained silent.
Huang Bo knew that his boss was interested in what he was about to say and didn’t want to beat around the bush, but he was hesitant. “It could just be my own misconception…”
“Just spill it.”
“Yes, Boss. When Assistant Yin was driving from West Bay to the highway, her car’s speed was controlled around 100 mph; this highway is an enclosed section, so she was driving at regular speed. However, what bothers me is that Assistant Yin was about to reach the Liu Family’s farmhouse—the road where she had her accident—when she suddenly decelerated. Shortly after that, she knocked into the highway barrier. After examining t
“Who do you think it is then?” Immediately, Wen Zeyu understood what he was implying.Qin Jinhuan did not answer the question. Instead, he pointed at Dong Wanqing’s name on the paper and asked, “Why are you so certain that it’s hers?”Wen Zeyu pulled out the paper under the first page and showed it to Qin Jinhuan. “I’ve checked her call history. She had a call with the female worker, Liu Xiaoxiang, thereafter Liu Xiaoxiang organized the strike to ask for a pay raise. I have confirmed with Liu Xiaoxiang and she admitted that she was only emboldened to ask for multiple pay raises after the call with Dong Wanqing because Dong Wanqing gave her a detailed explanation about the employer’s stake in between employees’ pay raise and delayed delivery.”“Are you sure Dong Wanqing was the one who called?”“I recorded Dong Wanqing’s voice and played it to Liu Xiaoxiang, and she said it sounded like her.”“Sounded like?”
While the weather outside was biting cold, it was cosy and warm indoor. The television was broadcasting some random series, and soft music could be heard playing from the radio.Meanwhile, Mu Yu was lying on the bed chatting with Jiang Wenwen over the phone using headphones, her eyes closed.“Young Master Qin attended culinary lessons for your sake just because of that piece of paper?” Green with envy, Jiang Wenwen could hardly believe what she had heard on the other end of the line. “He’s such a busy man, and yet he is so attentive to you. I’m really touched!”“There’s nothing to be touched about. The food was not that tasty anyway, and its appearance was unattractive. I barely took a few bites,” Mu Yu criticized casually. Nevertheless, the reflection of her beaming face could be seen from the phone screen.“Hey, how could you say that? What an ungrateful woman.” Unaware of Mu Yu’s true expression, Jiang Wenwen disgustedly took up
She was extremely ecstatic with the sense of touch on her fingertips. Consciously, she clasped Qin Jinhuan’s hand and closed her eyes. Her blushing face appeared even more alluring and attractive. Come, Jinhuan! Come to me! Suppressing her exhilaration, she screamed in silence.Right then, a cylinder-shaped cold object was placed under her arms. Shuddering in shock, she instantly opened her eyes with surprise written all over her face.“Jinhuan? You...”“I’m taking your temperature. I have to send you to the hospital if you’re still feverish,” Qin Jinhuan said as he placed her hand under the blanket. Then, he tucked the blanket under her so that she was covered completely.What?! H-He actually covered me with a blanket?!Is the incense not strong enough? Is my outfit not seductive enough? Or was my performance unsatisfactory?No way! There shouldn’t be anything wrong from my side! I’ve put in
All that was written on the piece of paper were a few sentences written in green ink. ‘You might as well not come home, Qin Jinhuan! You’re not the only one who knows how to go out and have fun!’What? Green ink? Going out and having fun? Is she trying to cheat on me? Sh*t! A couple of seconds later, Qin Jinhuan tore the provocative note into pieces before giving Mu Yu a call. “Hello, the number that you’ve dialed is unavailable. Please…” Furious, he ended the call and dialed Cheng Xiang’s number instead.“What? Did the young mistress go out? When did she leave the house?” Cheng Xiang’s astonishment only made Qin Jinhuan more furious than ever. “You must’ve been taking a good nap, huh?” he hissed.“I’m sorry, boss. I…”“You b*stard!” Qin Jinhuan angrily ended the call before stepping out of the room. After a moment of contemplation, he headed toward Qin Chengxi’s room and knocked on her door. He had to remain silent as his grandfat
“Oh my God! Who is that?” Mu Yu cried in surprise as she quickly shoved Qin Jinhuan away.“No one. No one at all. You guys can go on.” The mumbles of Mu Yu’s parents sounded in the dark before the sound of their rushed footsteps followed as they quickly shifted away. They shut the bedroom door behind them.“Told you they’d go to bed.” Qin Jinhuan’s smug voice emerged in the dark.“Don’t you have better things to do?” Mu Yu pushed him away angrily.“Alright. Stop being mad at me. I know I brought supper home a little too late tonight, but I really had matters to handle. Please forgive me, my beloved wife…” he pleaded.“You had matters to handle? What sort of matters involve following a woman into a room in the middle of the night when it’s just the two of you in there?” Mu Yu said with a scoff.“Anran was ill, so I had to go over and take a look…” he explained.“Woah, I didn’t know you, the alm
D-Did… Did I go too far with my joke? Was I too confident thinking that I was the brightest star in his sky?“What time is Huan coming over, Yu?” Hu Meiling wiped her hands on her apron as she stepped out into the living room. She was shocked to see the look on Mu Yu’s face. “Why are you crying, Yu? What happened?”Mu Ziyao quickly left the dishes on the dining table before rushing to the living room when he heard this. “What is it? What happened?”It was only then did Mu Yu realize the tears streaming down her cheeks. Flustered, she quickly wiped her face with her sleeve before attempting to conceal the truth. “It’s nothing. I was just too touched after watching some TV drama.”Hu Meiling gave Mu Yu’s shirt a tug. “Don’t lie to your mother. Tell me—what happened?”Mu Yu sniffed as she realized that a kid’s cartoon was being broadcasted on TV. “It’s really nothing, I…” She cleared her throat.“Is it becaus
“She’s in the emergency room?! What happened?!” Qin Jinhuan exclaimed in shock. “Which hospital is she at?”“It was a car accident! She’s at Town Hospital!” Mu Ziyao cried.Hu Meiling felt her gaze becoming blurry as she slapped herself on her thighs in agony. “My God! My baby Yu!”“Meiling!” Mu Ziyao steadied his wife quickly, but he then lost his grip on his phone. The screen turned black immediately after it smashed onto the ground. The words ‘car accident’ echoed in Qin Jinhuan’s head—he could no longer care for Hu Meiling or anyone else right then. Instead, he charged toward Bian Zijun. “Take care of them!” he said before getting into his own car and howled at Huang Bo. “Head to Town Hospital! Hurry!”“Yes, Boss!’ Huang Bo stepped on the gas immediately.“Hey! Wait for us! We want to go too!” Hu Meiling shoved her husband away as she began to chase the car. “We’ll take this car instead!” Bian Zijun s
“Qin Jinhuan!” she cried as she stomped out after him.“Stop right there, you brat!” an old man’s voice said.Grandpa? Mu Yu was utterly shocked as her gaze searched around and fell on Qin Xiaozhi. I clearly reminded Rong Ying not to tell anyone else about this when I borrowed Director Qiao’s phone to give her a call. How did Grandpa find out about this? However, she didn't know that both her parents had called Qin Xiaozhi the moment she ran out of the house; Qin Xiaozhi had been tracking both her and Qin Jinhuan’s whereabouts since then.“Grandpa? What are you doing here?” Mu Yu no longer attempted to go after Qin Jinhuan. Instead, she quickly rushed forward to help Qin Xiaozhi. After all, it was her fault for getting an old man to step out of the house in such terribly cold weather. However, Qin Xiaozhi pushed her away before turning toward Qin Jinhuan. “Where are you going?” he asked.The old man, along with Mu Yu’s parents, had
