Two-faced: Doting Husband & Shameless Wife - Chapter 86

Xi Jian glanced at the bar in the restaurant below them. He did it several times until his action catches his lunch partner attention.

“Someone you know?”

Xi Jian withdrew his gaze from Ling Yue’s figure. “I don’t know, maybe just someone similar.”

Xi Jian looked for the umpteenth time. Lately, his eyes have always captured Ling Yue’s figure wherever he was. Xi Jian couldn’t clearly see who was sit opposite Ling Yue. Actually besides Ling Yue, Xi Jian could not identify anyone from this distance, but he was sure that what he saw was Ling Yue.

“It seems like something really bothering you. Alright then, let’s end our meeting here.” his business partner stood up and reached out his hand.

They had finished lunch a while ago and finished their business affairs, but they still hadn’t moved on and talked longer. Xi Jian felt a little guilty when he shook his hand.

“Sorry, this won’t happen next time.”

“Of course.” His partner chuckled and leaves.

Xi Jian sat down again and this time really looked at the woman’s figure. There was something urging him to run toward her. He almost did it if it hadn’t stopped because of the cellphone ringing in his pocket.

A series of unknown numbers displayed there.

“Boss, this is Gan ji. Can you go to base now? We found something.”

“Why are you calling from an unknown number?”

“Uhh, that … something happened but I guarantee this channel is safe.”

“Hmm, I’ll be there.”

Xi Jian hung up and looked back at Ling Yue but there was no one anymore. The phone rang again.

“What?”

“You insolent child! Is that how you greet your grandfather?!”

Xi Jian pushed away his cellphone and stared his grandfather’s name was on it. “I’m sorry, I thought my person called again. What’s wrong?” Xi Jian left his seat and headed for the parking lot. He stopped when he caught the figure of Ling Yue entering a car. Now he knew who she was with.

“Return to the main house immediately. I want to announce your future wife.”

Xi Jian followed Ling Yue’s figure in the car that was getting further away. “You can announce it without my presence, can you?” Xi Jian hung up the phone without caring about his grandfather’s scolding.

His aura grew blacker as he entered the base. His feelings were really bad and Xi Jian didn’t know what caused it.

“There’d be good news until you told me to come here.” He says coldly to Gan Ji who was sitting behind the monitor screen.

Gan Ji chuckled and pointed at the big screen opposite him. “Look at this.”

On the big black screen a recording appeared, it was a few minutes video before his accident occurred. Gan Ji rewind the contents of the recording a bit. The truck that hit Xi Jian was parked there three hours before the accident occurred. There was no other movement after the truck was parked there. The driver didn’t even come out after parking his truck. They only caught a glimpse of the driver’s figure getting out of the truck after the collision.

Bai Xu could not hide his expression when he saw the accident happen, in contrast to Xi Jian who just looked at it without any expression.

“…and?”

“We almost caught him before someone shot him from afar.” Gan Ji shows another recording of a truck driver hunt that ended badly. They caught him and dragged him out of the forest. But as soon as their feet were illuminated by the sun, suddenly the truck driver’s body fell face down. Screams and noise were heard before Gan Ji stopped the recording.

“Your accident was not a pure accident, and our only witness was killed.”

Bai Xu unconsciously joined in the conversation. “The only witness? aren’t you still holding that courier?”

Gan Ji glanced at his bossi. “He killed himself by hanging his body this morning.”

“What? How is that possible?”

In a tight security base like this, how could a prisoner had a chance to commit suicide?

“He ripped off his pants and hung himself with it.”

Xi Jian didn’t say a word until Zou Ci entered the room. “Oh boss, you are here? What a coincidence. I was just about to go see you.”

The three of them looked at Zou Ci. “Why do you want to meet with boss?” Gan Ji representing Bai Xu voiced out his heart.

“I followed your little lady these past few days and—”

“What do you mean?” this time Xi Jian made a sound.

Zou Ci scratched his head. “Actually, when you were discharged from the hospital, I saw Miss Ling and wanted to say hello. But then I saw someone else following her. I thought it was someone you ordered without our knowledge. But when I greeted him, he ran away. Because of my reflexes, I hit him and now he’s in the underground room.”

“You son–” Gan Ji hadn’t even had the chance to curse when Xi Jian darted out the door.

“Take me to him.”
