Dongfang Ao's departure was within Zhuge Renyi's expectations, but Huo Xingren's sudden departure surprised him.
From Huo Xingren's words, he seemed to want to meet Yanran. Could it be that Yanran wanted to persuade Huo Xingren to stop his plan? Recalling the last time he saw Yanran, he felt as if their father-daughter relationship had completely broken off. Zhuge Renyi took a big gulp of wine and put down his glass. His eyes flashed coldly as he stood up and walked to the bathroom.
He bent down and turned on the tap. Zhuge Renyi held the water and washed his face. When he looked up again, a figure was reflected in the mirror on the wall. Zhuge Renyi did not need to look closely to know who it was. He said coldly,""Uncle Li, call Little Five and see where Yanran is now.”
"Yes!" Uncle Li was a little surprised, but he did not raise any questions. After following Zhuge Renyi for so many years, he could naturally tell that Zhuge Renyi would not tolerate any rebuttal at this moment.
He slid open the phone cover and swiftly dialed a series of numbers. A few seconds later, he heard the ringtone of the other party's phone.
"Hello? Uncle Li, I'm Little Five."
"Little Five, where is Miss now?”
"I just came back from working overtime at the company. I'm at home now.”
"Oh." Uncle Li covered the microphone with his hand and looked up."Boss, Miss is at home now."
"At home?" Zhuge Renyi's expression froze for a moment. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying,"Ask No. 5 to check Yanran's phone records and see if she called Huo Xing tonight.”
"This?" Uncle Li hesitated for a moment, then said into the phone,"Little Five, check all of Miss's phone records tonight in five minutes. But remember, don't disturb Miss.”
Uncle Li hung up the phone and waited for Zhuge Renyi's new instructions. Zhuge Renyi slowly took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, quickly poured out a cigarette, and held it between his fingers. Looking at the Nanjing brand cigarette, Uncle Li took out a lighter, lit it up, and handed it to Zhuge Renyi.
"Pfft-"
A smoke ring was spat out from his mouth, fluttering in the air. In an instant, it was diluted in the air flow. It was unknown who fused with whom, but then it returned to its previous calm.
"Boss, why do you want to investigate Miss? No matter what, Miss is your biological daughter. There shouldn't be any problems.”This puff of smoke seemed to have diluted the tense atmosphere just now. Uncle Li took the opportunity to ask.
"It's best if you don't. Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding our father-daughter relationship!”Zhuge Renyi's tone was extremely cold, and a fierce glint flashed across his eyes.
Glancing at Zhuge Renyi, Uncle Li's heart trembled. He did not expect the man in front of him to have come this far for power.
The washroom returned to silence once again. It was so quiet that it was a little shocking and depressing.
" I admit that I am the wolf in sheep's clothing…"
The mobile phone's ringtone, which was filled with vicissitudes of life and sadness, suddenly rang, breaking the silent atmosphere in the washroom.
Uncle Li pressed the answer button and hung up after a few grunts. He said to Zhuge Renyi,"Boss, Miss went home to watch TV for a while before lying down to sleep. She didn't call Huo Xingren.”
"Oh?" Zhuge Renyi was surprised for a moment. His eyes flashed with a thoughtful light, as if he was guessing the reason for Huo Xingren's actions.
"Boss, could it be that hooligan called Chen Wu? Do you need to send someone to kill him?" Huo Xing Ren had just arrived in Shanghai and had few contacts. Uncle Li naturally thought of Chen Wu, who had been subdued by Huo Xing Ren.
Zhuge Renyi waved his hand and said calmly,"That hooligan doesn't have access to this level. No matter how much we investigate, we won't be able to find any valuable information. Moreover, it's not suitable for us to make a move on this person for the time being.”
"Oh? Why?"
"First, if Chen Wu suddenly dies, it will definitely raise the vigilance of the Huo Xing people and hinder their future plans. Secondly, Chen Wu has a low status and is someone we can use. We still need him to pass some information to Huo Xing.”
Zhuge Renyi seemed to have thought of something when he said this. His gloomy expression gradually relaxed. He then tidied his clothes and walked out with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Boss, do we need to investigate the whereabouts of the Huo Xing people?”
"No need. Since he wants to play tricks, let him be!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Li was the only one left in the bathroom. He lowered his head and thought for a moment. His eyes kept flickering with a complicated light. Then, he returned to his original expression and pushed open the door to leave.
Behind Shanghai Jiao Tong University, two figures were embedded in a quiet lawn.
"You're here."
Her gentle voice was pleasant to the ear, but it contained a hint of urgency, making Huo Xingren feel deeply uneasy. Looking at Beishui Rou, who was like a winter plum blossom, the star person nodded lightly. His licentious image was swept away. He was calm and steady, natural and mature. It seemed that only by doing this could he show his respect and admiration for this jade flower.
"What happened?"
"Although I have already left the clan, the blood of the Beishui clan still flows in my veins. There are many things about the clan that father will never allow me to speak of, especially to you.”
Huo Xingren nodded. Many things did not need to be explained clearly, and he knew it very well. He asked in a deep tone,"Your father has already made a move to force you back?”
"Yes." Bei ShuiRou sighed and looked at Huo Xingren with a dazed expression. It was as if she could once again see the figure that she had always treasured in her heart. A strange emotion welled up in her heart, and her tone was mixed with a trace of pleading,"Starman, can you hug me?"
The alien stared at the ice jade in front of him, and for the first time, ripples appeared in his heart. He even felt a trace of jealousy. He felt very depressed in his chest, and he clenched his hands tightly, but he shook his head firmly and said,"No, although I'm not a gentleman, I won't be a substitute.”
"You!" A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and then he sighed. His expression was extremely gloomy, and his entire person seemed even colder.
"You called me out just for this?”After he rejected her, the pressure in his chest lessened a lot, and his thoughts became active again.
"Although the two of you are very similar, you are still two different people. If it were him, he would definitely not reject my request. Even if it was a stranger's request, he would do his best to fulfill it. And you, your heart is colder, harder, and more domineering than his. Perhaps this is the reason why he failed.”Bei ShuiRou murmured bitterly. Loneliness, longing, reminiscence, nostalgia, disappointment, all these complicated emotions instantly appeared in her eyes.
"Hey!" The star person looked at the woman in front of him lovingly and sighed. He didn't expect her to be so affectionate to such an extent. There were only a few people in the world who were infatuated with her.
"Actually, after he came back from the Nanjing Military Region, he met me once and left me with the words 'Bloodthirsty Wolf of the Nanjing Military Region'. I think these words should be helpful for your future path. Although you are not him, I can't bear to see someone like him walk down the same path of no return.”
After saying this, Bei ShuiRou turned around and left. Her cold and arrogant figure was like a lonely white moon in the world.
Looking at the figure that was leaving, the star person was speechless. An inexplicable emotion filled his heart.
No one knew how much time had passed. In the lonely moonlight, only the star person was still independent. The star person suppressed the emotions in his heart and repeatedly muttered eight words,
"Nanjing Military Region, Bloodthirsty Wolf!"
