Sister Yi was upstairs cleaning in the morning when she noticed that the study room door was slightly ajar. She thought Leng Yixiu was inside and knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long time.
She gently pushed the door open and found that the study was empty. However, the mountain of cigarette butts in the ashtray on the desk gave her a sense of foreboding. Official source is novel(ꜰ)ire.net
She remembered that the master hadn’t smoked much these days; the study’s ashtray had been almost unused. Yet, in just one night, it was suddenly filled with so many cigarette butts. It seemed the master had spent a long night in the study.
After finishing cleaning the study, she also tidied up the master bedroom. The bed in the master bedroom remained untouched from the day before, clearly indicating that Miss Lin had not returned last night, and the master probably hadn’t slept all night.
But where exactly had Miss Lin gone?
Before, she would never leave without a word. Meanwhile, in the president’s office, Assistant Chen had thoroughly investigated Lin Yixun’s whereabouts and reported back to Leng Yixiu.
The man sitting in the boss’s chair leisurely flipped through the photos in his hand. From Lin Yixun leaving the company building, to her exchanging glances with the man in the photos, and then getting into that eye-catching red sports car, everything was clearly recorded in the photos.
Seeing the boss’s face getting darker, with a look that seemed like Mount Tai was about to collapse, Assistant Chen couldn’t help but secretly feel annoyed. Those responsible for investigating had gone too far, making everything so detailed, wasn’t this just making the boss unhappy on purpose?
After an indeterminate amount of time, the man finally finished looking through the photos. With a flick of his hand, he tossed the photos away, and in the vast space his cold voice echoed, "Arrange a few cars for me."
"Also, bring some bodyguards along."
"Boss, are you planning something big?"
On the way to the distant suburbs, Fei Yichen’s call suddenly came through.
Fei Yichen quickly sensed Leng Yixiu’s foul mood. "Hey, President Leng, from your tone, it seems you’re in a bad mood."
"What’s up? If it’s nothing, I’m hanging up."
"Don’t hang up, I need to talk to you about something important. I’ve heard there’s a new plot of land in the north of the city, the location is excellent, are you interested?"
"What? You must be joking, not interested in a money-making opportunity?"
"My woman is about to run off with someone else, do you think I have the leisure to care about anything else?" Leng Yixiu snorted coldly.
"Which woman, Cheng Ying or the one you brought last time?"
"I think it’s the latter." Fei Yichen’s eyes were sharp, it was clear who Leng Yixiu was really concerned about.
Fei Yichen was ready to watch the drama unfold, but unexpectedly, Leng Yixiu asked, "Fei Yichen, if your woman was taken by someone else, what would you do?"
Fei Yichen suddenly fell silent. After a long pause, he quietly said, "If... they’re truly in love, I might let them be."
"I didn’t see this coming, our Cold-faced Yama has such a selfless side," Leng Yixiu mocked.
"Go ahead and mock me." Fei Yichen suddenly spoke seriously, "In the past, I would never let such things happen. You know I’m a businessman; I don’t do losing deals. But some things, you only understand after experiencing them. Sometimes, letting go is the best choice."
"Really?" Leng Yixiu sneered, "But I can’t do that."
