“Miss Shui, this way please.” The chief said as he led Shui Anluo inside.
Shui Anluo slowly stepped in as the riddle in her heart grew even more complicated.
What was Chu Ningyi doing here?
Even that pig-headed unlicensed taxi driver and Shui Anjiao were here. The pair who had allowed her to strike the lottery.
Shui Anluo followed the chief and walked to Chu Ningyi’s side. She looked down and stared at the man whose face was as cold and sharp as ever.
“Director Chu, everything is pretty much clear now.” The chief spoke with reverence.
Chu Ningyi looked up and smirked.
Shui Anluo took a step back. The smile on his face seemed too evil and exuded a great deal of confidence. However, there was also the stench of bloodlust in that confidence.
Shui Anluo wanted to back away but Chu Ningyi slowly got to his feet and reached out to grab her hand, stopping her.
Chu Ningyi’s hand was very hot.
Shui Anluo’s hand was icy in contrast.
His hand covered her small icy hand entirely. Chu Ningyi looked up and muttered softly, “Are you cold?”
Shui Anluo shook her head instinctively. This side of Chu Ningyi strangely made her feel cold, a chill that stemmed from the tips of her toes and expanded throughout.
This side of Chu Ningyi was not like the Chu Ningyi who had just quarreled with her. He seemed more like the Chu Ningyi whom she had first met, the one who was rumored in the market to be vicious and turned out to be a stone-cold Asura.
Chu Ningyi sat her down and pressed his hands on her shoulders. “Enjoy the show if you don’t feel cold.”
Chu Ningyi had just spoken when the pig-headed man was grabbed by a police officer and thrown down next to Shui Anluo.
The pig-headed man clasped his hands together, wailing and begging for mercy. His pig-like face had cried so much that snot has intermingled with his tears.
“Director Chu, Director Chu, I didn’t know that she was your woman, I really didn’t know.” The pig-headed man shivered as he begged. His dirty eyes filled with disgusting tears.
“You didn’t know?” Chu Ningyi asked icily as he slowly squatted down and stared at the cowering man. “Did she ever ask you a question that sounded like ‘Do you have any idea who I am?’”
Chu Ningyi’s voice was very cold but Shui Anluo’s body was even colder.
He knew, he knew everything!1
Shui Anluo’s hand, which had been placed on her thighs, slowly clenched until she had used up all her strength and could not clench them any further. Only then did she allow her tensed body to relax.
The pig-headed man shivered and did not say another word.
Chu Ningyi slowly rose to his feet and stared at the woman who had just walked in. His gaze darkened.
When the pig-headed man on the ground noticed the woman who had walked in, he shook and nearly fainted.
Lin Qianchen swept her gaze across every person in the room before she continued to walk in calmly.
“Ningyi, why have you called me here in the dead of the night?” Lin Qianchen put her hands in her pockets. Her tone of voice did not seem any different from how it usually was.
However, strangely, something that could be classified as anger reared its head within her heart.
Chu Ningyi sat down next to Shui Anluo. He looked down and held her hand as he carefully fiddled with it. “I didn’t ask you to come here but I do believe that these two should look familiar to you. Perhaps a chat with them would bring even more familiarity.”
Cold…
A thoroughly bone-piercing kind of chill…
Just like Chu Ningyi’s personality.
However, his actions were so elegant that it brought a sense of comfort. It did not match the things he had said.
Lin Qianchen’s hand in her pocket clenched but she did not show any change of emotion. She looked at the man on the ground and then at Shui Anjiao before she lowered her head to conceal the flash of panic in her eyes. Finally. she looked back up at Chu Ningyi again.
