C176 Wife-listening (1/2)

Until the car stopped at the Ye Family Apartment building, the two of them had a tacit understanding to not speak anymore.

After getting off the car, Ye Xi watched as Protector drove the car away, then said softly, ”Hubby, I'm here.”

”Mm, let's go in.” Huo Yaoting's voice was lazy and hoarse, as if he was a little drunk.

Ye Xi frowned, ”Hubby, do you know how to drink a bit less?”

”Heh …” Huo Yaoting laughed, ”Alright, I will listen to my wife.”

Ye Xi's ears flushed red, he muttered: ”Then I'm hanging up?”

”...” ”Right.”

Ye Xi still did not hang up, with one hand holding his phone and the other holding his insulated box, he walked towards the apartment.

”Not hanging up?”

Ye Xi pursed her lips, ”Mn. You can hang up first. ”

”…” After a moment of silence, he asked, ”Still outside?”

Ye Xi looked at the elevator in front of him, ”There's no more, we're at the elevator.”

”Yes.”

”Yes,” he said.

Following that, Ye Xi heard the sound of chairs moving and light footsteps coming from the other side of the phone.

”Hubby, what are you doing?” Ye Xi asked curiously.

”Nope.” Huo Yaoting said.

”Oh.” Ye Xi replied softly.

Then the elevator clanged open in front of her.

”Go up first. Your husband will call you later.” Huo Yaoting also heard the sound of the elevator opening as he considerately asked.

I heard him say he'd call her later.

The corner of Ye Xi's mouth hooked up, ”Mmm.”

He then put away the phone and walked towards the elevator.

River City, New Testament Hotel, Diamond Suite.

The man, dressed in a clean white shirt and simple black trousers, stood in front of the ink-black French window, holding a lighted cigarette between his fingers.

Beautiful smoke rings emerged from her thin lips and nose, spiraling in the air like greyish dragons.

His other hand was leisurely rotating the black phone in his hand. His posture was elegant, his entire body was noble and cold.

The sound of the hotel door opening came from behind.

The man didn't turn around, but merely stuck the tip of his cigarette between his lips. In his elegance, there was also a hint of a thug.

”Yes.” Huo Chengshang's face was solemn, but his eyes revealed a hint of gentleness.

The man's expression did not change. He took a drag from his cigarette and caught it between his fingers. Then, he pressed the tip between his fingers and cut the cigarette into two pieces.

He turned around and strode into the room.

Huo Chengshang explained himself, ”Since Chu Lingtian left B City twenty years ago to come to F City, he has been doing great things in F City. Currently, in all areas of F City, there is no exception for us to avoid Chu Lingtian, but at the same time, Chu Lingtian's ruthless methods have also created many enemies. ”

Pausing for a moment, Huo Chengshang continued, ”From what I see, Chu Lingtian has already moved the majority of his forces from the B City to the city, there is absolutely no need to tie him up here! Furthermore, even if we have to tie them up, it would not be so easy for us to find and rescue them. ”

”Thus, my guess is that the person who kidnapped this person is someone else.”

”Are you saying that Chu Lingtian's enemy is holding a grudge against him, kidnapped him, and intentionally let him mislead us so that we think he is the culprit?” Huo Yaoting sat on the sofa and glanced at Huo Chengshang.

Huo Chengshang pursed his lips, thought for a while, then nodded.

Huo Yaoting squinted his eyes, his voice was bone-chilling cold, ”Regardless of Chu Lingtian, or anyone else, we must pull him out in the shortest time possible!”

”I know.” Huo Chengshang nodded.

”How is she?” Huo Yaoting asked indifferently.
