“Boss, they’re the same goods as before,” reported Xu Xu.
“Find those ten people and the ten cases of goods and keep them alive.”
Xu Xu shuddered in fear. If I were to say anything bad about sis-in-law, would I die just like that as well?
“Boss, according to them, these three boxes are supposed to be sold to someone named Lin. They are only responsible for transporting the goods and collecting the money. They know zilch about the other ten boxes of goods and people.”
“Someone named Lin?” Ye Erruo’s voice rose sharply.
“Uh… Yes, someone named Lin.”
Ye Erruo furrowed her brows. The mention of the surname ‘Lin’ instinctively led her to think that Lin Jingxuan was peddling dangerous goods.
Mo Jiangye glimpsed sideways at her, naturally knowing who she had assumed the mastermind was.
He turned her head over. “You’re not allowed to think of him.”
What an imperious, tyrannical man.
“Take them all in for questioning. I don’t believe that they’re unacquainted with the ten other people,” Xu Xu ordered.
“Understood.”
The woman squeezed her brows together, feeling very curious about this Lin person.
“Just a second.”
“What’s wrong, sis-in-law?”
“Let them meet up with this Lin person.”
“Huh?”
“Do it,” ordered Mo Jiangye, who acceded to her request.
“I’ll go make arrangements.”
Taking her small hand in his, he told her, “It’s not him.”
Lin Jingxuan doesn’t have the guts to do such a thing.
“That might not be true.”
“Wanna bet?” The man started revealing the plot he’d had in mind for quite some time.
“Bet? What are we betting on?”
He then led her further into the casino. “If it isn’t Lin Jingxuan who’s buying this batch of goods, you will have to…”
“What will I have to do?”
He abruptly drew her close and enunciated each word slowly. “Have my baby.”
He had talked big about his son growing bigger each day, so he naturally had to turn this rumor into reality as soon as possible.
“B-Baby?”
“Duh. How am I going to have a son if we don’t work hard? Tell me, where is he going to come from? Hm? Besides…”
The woman pushed him away. “Besides what? Get lost.”
With a backhand move, he grabbed hold of her hands. “Those guys already know that their sister-in-law is pregnant and have prepared their red packets. In a month or so, they’ll be coming to visit their sister-in-law and their little chief.”
Ye Erruo gritted her teeth. “Are you blaming me now? Who told you to lie? You should just tell them that I’m not pregnant.”
Little chief? Isn’t he getting way ahead of himself?
His lips lifted as he let out a low, throaty chuckle. “Who should I blame, if not you?”
“What kind of bet is this? I’m not betting with you.” He was pressing against her so hard that she felt uncomfortable all over.
His eyes dimmed. “Are you sure?”
Xu Xu, who had just walked over to them, immediately turned on his feet to give them some privacy.
“Boss, call me once you two are done talking.”
The corners of her lips twitched. “Are you looking for him? We’re done here. You can just come over and speak with him.”
He was just about to turn around when he heard his chief warning him. “Come over if you dare.”
Cough…
“I’ll help you keep a lookout.”
“What lookout?” shouted Ye Erruo in frustration and embarrassment as she struggled against the man. Alas, given his strength, how could she possibly break free from him?
“Agreed?” Mo Jiangye asked.
“I don’t want to have a child now,” she said.
He interlocked his fingers with hers. “Why don’t you want to have a child?”
Behind them, Xu Xu’s ears perked. What did I just hear? Sis-in-law wants to abort the child? She doesn’t want the child anymore? She’s going to have our little chief aborted?
It isn’t easy for our little chief to come about. How can he be aborted just like that?
