Tang Ling’s initially cold gaze changed gradually as he regarded Ye Lanchen intently. He knew all along that the latter was brilliant and powerful yet he was still astonished right this moment.
Ye Lanchen’s precise psychological judgement, perfect counter reconnaissance, and amazing set up for a flawless trap amazed even Tang Ling, who had been through rigorous training.
Even if they failed to locate the person in Jin City, they would have definitely blocked every possible path of his escape.
Tang Ling reckoned even the woman who was an expert in criminal psychology would not necessarily be an equal opponent to Ye Lanchen.
He suddenly realized that were it not for Chu Wuyou, he would not have the upper hand easily earlier and successfully got “revenge” on Ye Lanchen.
The latter ended the call after giving out the instructions.
“You’ve invested your true feelings huh?” Tang Ling regarded him in the eyes and smiled. It was rare for the former to gossip.
Ye Lanchen would not have gone to such great extent if he was not bothered!
He appeared stunned but quickly smoothed away the surprise. “Not really. I just want to confirm whether she was the woman from five years ago.”
“And then?” Tang Ling attempted a meaningful smile.
“And then I’ll get even with her for all the wrongs she has done to me,” Ye Lanchen said through gritted teeth yet his words made perfect sense.
Tang Ling glanced at him mysteriously.
“Alright, I’ll wait for that day to arrive.” Tang Ling looked forward to seeing how Ye Lanchen would get even with that woman.
Perhaps Ye Lanchen would need to acquire permission from Tang Ling first before he could fulfil his wish.
“Little Wuyou is really understanding. She left us alone deliberately to give us space for a private conversation.” The corners of Tang Ling’s lips curled up slightly after noticing Chu Wuyou had not returned after some time. This girl was truly a likeable person.
In fact, there was an ensuite washroom in the private room, but she made her intention clear by choosing to leave the room instead.
“She’s my wife so don’t address her with such intimate endearment.” Ye Lanchen swept his slightly narrowed eyes past Tang Ling, his voice laced with indifference.
“Why do you care? You only married the woman to get even with her.” Tang Ling, on the other hand, was not affected at all. He even said gradually a couple of seconds later. “I really like that little girl. I’ll bring her home after you’ve figured out the truth and gotten even with her.”
“Tang Ling, we’ve known each other for twenty-nine years.” Ye Lanchen narrowed his eyes immediately and regarded the other man coldly. The seemingly nonchalant sentence was, in actuality, a threat.
Ye Lanchen pretty much grew up with Tang Ling in the same house and the two of them were as close as real brothers. In fact, Tang Ling was only several months older than the former.
“Hm, too long indeed.” Tang Ling completely disregarded the threat and twisted the man’s words entirely. He raised his eyebrows to reveal his annoyance before speaking again. “It’s getting a bit frustrating, isn’t it?”
“…”
Ye Lanchen was speechless.
“Tang Ling, what’s your ulterior motive?” Ye Lanchen knew Big Brother well enough to know that the latter must have another reason for saying so.
“What ulterior motive? I’m not the same as you because I genuinely like Little Wuyou. I should have a proper conversation with her when she returns.” A delighted smile spread across Tang Ling’s face.
Yet another double entendre.
Ye Lanchen threw Big Brother a deathly glare before rising to his feet abruptly to head for the door.
A proper conversation? Dream on. Did Tang Ling really think Ye Lanchen would just watch on in silence?
