Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Investigate This Woman
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to see the man; she rely felt relieved that she had co ho early tonight. However, if it turned out that she was indeed late, she simply wouldn’t be able to explain herself properly to Wang Sheng.
It seed that Zhao Guangchen was experienced in this matter and it was a good thing she had listened to him. Otherwise, tonight would have probably been a hassle for her.
Lin Yi returned to his room, where everything was now ready. Lying in bed, he still felt restless, tossing and turning without sleep.
He had no idea how long had passed when he picked up his phone to check the ti—it was already midnight.
Yet, he felt not the slightest bit tired.
Previously in the mountains, he had gone about two days and nights without rest. Under normal circumstances, he would have been fast asleep by now.
...
Perhaps his mind was just too full of thoughts.
Since he couldn’t sleep, Lin Yi decided to simply sit up in bed.
After that, he sat by the window, looking out at the night sky.
At this point, the entire town had settled into a peaceful tranquility.
Everything was pitch black, except for so distant lights still flickering.
He had no idea whether he could carry out tomorrow’s task smoothly and had no confidence in the upcoming surgery.
The system had been quiet tonight, not seeking him out at all.
Normally, on the eve of a big battle, the system would at least give him so instructions, but this ti it had changed its pattern.
Could it really trust him so much with the current situation?
Well, that was fine. He felt that ever since he discovered this system within him, he had hardly done anything dreadful.
Even if there were things he wasn’t sure about, he could still resolve them quickly with the system’s help.
He believed that the road ahead should only get smoother.
With that being the case, what did he have to worry about?
He just laughed helplessly. Maybe he was just overthinking.
Sotis, he would dwell on things that hadn’t even happened yet.
If that was the case, it would inevitably interfere with so of his own matters—a mindset he absolutely couldn’t afford to have.
Lin Yi silently admonished himself in his heart, and before he knew it, the latter half of the night had arrived.
He started to feel genuinely sleepy and yawned deeply.
Then, he went to his bed, closed his eyes, and soon fell deep into sleep.
Han Xuei was lying in bed, but in fact, she hadn’t fallen asleep at all.
After receiving that phone call, she had constantly been pondering what Wang Sheng could possibly want to discuss with her.
Was there a sudden change in his circumstances, or did he have a new idea?
Anyway, since lying down, Han Xuei felt she couldn’t sleep soundly.
After an indeterminate amount of ti, she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening outside.
Han Xuei was startled and imdiately sat up in bed.
She checked the ti on her phone—it was already 1:20 a.m.
It seed that, just as Wang Sheng had said, he would arrive around 1 o’clock as promised.
Han Xuei got up and left her room.
“You didn’t sleep?”
Wang Sheng had just entered and turned on the light, only to see Han Xuei already coming out from inside.
“No, I’ve been tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. What’s going on with you? Why do you have to co back in the middle of the night?”
“Didn’t I tell you? You were supposed to get two hours of sleep.”
“Heh, just because you said to sleep, does that an I can? Besides, it’s not that easy to fall asleep. I’m not tired anyway; let’s sit down and tell exactly what the situation is.”
As she spoke, Han Xuei walked over and sat down near the sofa.
After sitting down, Wang Sheng lit a cigarette.
From his manner, it appeared that things were not going as smoothly as he had hoped.
“What do you an, has he stopped trusting you now?”
“I feel that he never really trusted from the start.”
“How could you tell? Did he prevent you from handling this matter?”
“Although I delivered the goods to him, when I requested to stay, he said there was no need for to remain. With Ling’er and Hei Lang by his side, that was enough.”
“That’s it, but then again, at this point, you probably haven’t beco soone he truly trusts.”
“But if he doesn’t treat as one of his own, why would he assign to oversee such a project?”
“This project, exactly what kind of project is it? You’ve found out by now, haven’t you?”
“I still can’t bring myself to imagine what it is, and when I asked him why he was transporting these dical devices, he told a friend had commissioned him to buy them. I think that’s just a lie.”
“A friend bought them? Heh, I doubt anyone believes that.”
“Exactly, it seems he doesn’t even bother to spend the ti to lie to anymore.”
“Did you notice anything in the town?”
“No, I stayed in the town for less than half an hour, so I have very few clues.”
“Who was there? Aside from Lin Yi, were Ling’er and Hei Lang also there?”
“Yes, and there was a mysterious woman. Oh right, speaking of her, I think I managed to find so leads.”
“Oh? What woman? It’s not Han Xuewei, is it?”
“No, if it were Han Xuewei, wouldn’t I know? It’s definitely not his wife; it’s another woman.”
“Another woman? Who is she? Have you figured out anything about her background?”
“No, I have no recollection of this woman before, so I can assure you that she definitely hasn’t appeared before.”
“I’ve paid attention to his affairs before too, and he is very cautious when it cos to relationships with won. If you’re sure that this woman hasn’t appeared before, then this suspicion arises: she must have joined recently.”
