"Director Li, it's so late already, what brings you here?" Xing Chen stretched his long legs and slowly walked into the room.
Director Li Guoliang immediately smiled apologetically and invited Xing Chen to sit down. "Young Master Xing, please have a seat! I really shouldn't be disturbing you at this hour, but... my subordinates reported seeing an unidentified stranger in your room."
Xing Chen nodded and casually placed the phone, with the speakerphone turned on, on the side of the leather sofa.
On the other end of the phone, Ran Xiangsi was still connected, the call had not been interrupted.
Ran Xiangsi was shocked to the point she almost trembled!
The spoon she was holding nearly fell to the ground! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet
Xing Chen? Director Li?
This call... was from Xing Chen? How did he get her phone number?
Before Ran Xiangsi could continue her surprise, the conversation between Xing Chen and Director Li resumed.
In the spacious and bright room, a peculiar scent lingered, carrying a hint of an unfamiliar fragrance.
The man's slender legs were crossed, his upper body lounged leisurely in the soft sofa.
The collar of his deep blue shirt was slightly open, revealing his tanned skin underneath.
His well-defined hands, one rested casually above his knee, the other placed next to the phone, tapping slowly and rhythmically.
He lazily squinted his eyes, a barely-there smile played on his lips, his entire being exuding an air of noble elegance!
Even though he wasn't doing anything, just lying idly on the sofa, it gave off an inexplicable sense of intimidation!
His presence was like that of the most noble king, making people dare not to pry!
Li Guoliang had seen many significant figures over the years to rise to the position of Director, but in front of Xing Chen, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat...
Xing Chen gave him a faint look, his hand movements did not stop, a subtle smile hidden in his brows.
"The woman in my room? She's my newly wedded wife, any questions?"
"Wife???" Li Guoliang couldn't believe it; the strange woman Yue Nanshan reported was actually Xing Chen's fiancée?
"What? Director Li thinks my wife is... suspicious?" Xing Chen frowned deeply, his dark eyes suddenly sinking!
Li Guoliang dared not provoke this deity, he immediately shook his head, "Of course not! It's just... something very important was stolen from my office tonight, so I had no choice but to disturb Young Master Xing. Please, I beg Young Master Xing, don't take it to heart..."
On the other end of the phone, Ran Xiangsi, upon hearing this, was already dumbfounded!
Did she hear it wrong?
What nonsense was Xing Chen talking about? When did she become his wife?!
Something very important was stolen?
Xing Chen scrutinized Li Guoliang, the look in his eyes becoming even more profound.
What exactly did Ran Xiangsi steal? It was enough to make Li Guoliang brave enough to search his room and even talk to him privately?
"As far as I know, Director Li, the security in this building is the highest in the city."
In other words, he was asking Li Guoliang how something could be stolen so easily in a place with the highest security.
Li Guoliang felt embarrassed, "All the alarm systems and surveillance systems in the entire building were hacked, our central server was paralyzed, and we couldn't fix it even after assembling numerous engineers. Otherwise... that petty thief wouldn't have escaped so easily!"
