The message was simple – Boss Tang had returned to Jin City.

Big Brother was back again?

The Tang family had migrated to Du City more than ten years ago. Besides, due to the nature of Big Brother’s occupation, he would not return to Jin City unless absolutely necessary.

Big Brother had only returned to Jin City several days ago and here he was again?

What was the motivation behind Big Brother’s return this time?

He did not notify the guys about his most recent return, even Shen Ting was kept in the dark.

Ye Lanchen figured that it was time for him to have a proper conversation with Big Brother.

He held Chu Wuyou’s gaze meaningfully before turning around to leave.

Chu Wuyou heaved a sigh of relief. Was he about to strike her just now? He was going to, was he not?

His exasperation was evident.

She heard him going downstairs and leaving.

Confused, Chu Wuyou wondered what the reason was for his unexpected departure. What about Miss Meng? Had she left with him too?

The ringtone that filled the air interrupted her train of thought. She threw a quick glance at her phone and was immediately reminded of how Ye Lanchen had entered the room earlier without her noticing. She got out of the bed to shut the door and locked it after moments of hesitation, before finally picking up the call.

“Big Boss has returned. Has he looked for you?” Nangong Mu’s voice came through the speaker within seconds.

“Nope. Has Senior returned for a mission?” This caught Chu Wuyou by surprise. Senior had not come home in recent years. Was it possible that he returned this time with a mission?

“That’s not the case. Big Boss will probably look for you.” Nangong Mu, who was on the other end of the phone, exhaled deeply and silently.

“Senior is probably back with Senior Hongling?” Chu Wuyou laughed quietly as the realization hit her.

“…”

Nangong Mu heaved a heavy sigh once more. Everyone was aware that Chu Wuyou was the woman that Big Boss fancied; only the woman herself a.s.sumed Big Boss adored Senior Hongling.

“What on earth happened between you and that man? Did you request me to hack into the shopping mall’s security system last time in order to hide the truth from him?” Nangong Mu changed the topic of the conversation out of the blue.

“Yup.” Chu Wuyou knew she could not conceal anything from him if he set his mind to it. Judging from his tone, she estimated that he had already figured out the marriage between her and Ye Lanchen.

“You better do a great job of keeping him in the dark. You mustn’t let him learn about your background and your true ident.i.ty, as well as your real appearance,” Nangong Mu exhorted.

“Don’t you worry about me. I’m not in any trouble.” Chu Wuyou thought he was anxious for her. Indeed, she was forced into marrying Ye Lanchen in the first place but this situation did not put her at risk.

“…”

Nangong Mu was at a loss for words.

He was not concerned about her, but for Big Boss. The former worried that Ye Lanchen would refuse to let her go once he discovered her attractive qualities. That would distress their Big Boss unquestionably.

He did not understand why a criminal psychologist like her was so slow-witted and insensitive when it came to romance. She was a true fool in the aforementioned realm.

Nangong Mu was dying to disclose the truth to her but Big Boss’ warning quickly rang in his ears. Words failed to escape his mouth and he ended the call, feeling frustrated.

Chu Wuyou did not read much into it. After confirming that Ye Lanchen had left the house, she tried calling Zhixi again. As expected, the phone was turned off.

She dialed Zhimo’s number immediately after but was met with the same response.

Chu Wuyou felt her heart sink instantly. Could it be possible that something horrible happened to her two darlings?

Overcome with concern, she phoned Qin Yutong next. The call had been put through but no one answered.

Chu Wuyou felt her heart pounding through her skin. She continued dialing the same number again and again but it was to no avail.

She found herself seized by terror, so she rose to her feet immediately, grabbed the coat nearest to her, and headed for the door.
