Chapter 244 The Man Under Surveillance (2/2)

”Which topping, sir?”

”Oh... Um, she loves the black olives topping. That's her favorite.”

”Sir, your pizza is ready!”

”Thank you.”

...

Overjoyed, Rong Siman looked into the mirror and licked her fingers. Then, she stripped herself naked and slid into the bathtub.

”Ah Cang! Keep being nice to me, okay? I'll definitely find a way to heal you. After that, we'll make love to each other. Everything that's mine is be yours. Yours!” From the tall ledge of the tub, Rong Siman's hand slowly slid into the water. Then, she parted her legs and moaned Ying Qingcang's name. Not a while later, her body was reduced to trembles and shudders as she lay limply in the tub.

Meanwhile, Ying Qingcang, who was sitting in the living room, took out a voice recorder from the inner pocket of his jacket and hit the 'delete' key.

The Chinese New Year officially ended on the 20th of January after the fireworks display. When Young Master Shen and Zhang Mi returned to S City, both of them were wearing strange expressions on their faces.

”What on earth is the matter with you two?” Xin Qing watched the two of them in amusement.

Zhang Mi held Xin Qing's hand and whined tearfully, ”Ugh. You know what they say about gingers? The older, the spicier. My father-in-law is outright despicable!”

Xin Qing looked towards Young Master Shen. The latter looked like he was about to murder someone when he said, ”I can't believe that old bastard has us all fooled. He was never sick! He's been acting all these years, making all of us worry.”

”Haha!” Xin Qing burst into peals of laughter. ”Shouldn't you thank the old man, then? You two might still be trapped in that love-hate relationship of yours if it weren't for what he did!”

Zhang Mi was at the verge of tears. ”Argh! But the problem is the huge sacrifice I have to make in order give him grandchildren!”

”Hey, hey, hey. Watch your words,” Young Master Shen said in dissatisfaction. ”Otherwise it would sound like you hate sleeping with me.”

”But still, we can't be having sex every single day, and have it multiple times per day, at that!” Zhang Mi griped. She felt like crying every time she thought about her torturous sex life for the past two years. Every day, she was so exhausted that she barely had the energy to climb out of bed. That d*mn*d man, on the other hand, seemed just fine and dandy. If anything, he seemed more energetic than ever. If it were not for all the health supplements she had been taking, she would have perished in bed a long time ago.

Xin Qing smacked Zhang Mi. ”Can you not talk about something like this so openly, please? That's just TMI.”

”Exactly, you shameless chick!” Young Master Shen pulled Zhang Mi into his arms and mumbled something inaudible into her ear. Almost instantly, Xin Qing saw the feisty woman transform into a red-faced little bunny. A bunny, who was leaning obediently against the man's chest without moving a single inch.

Xin Qing stared up at the ceiling. ”Ugh. How I wish I can chase these two horny people out!”

”Oh, right! There's something I need to tell you guys,” Xin Qing said. After that, Xin Qing recounted the events during Chinese New Year to Young Master Shen and Zhang Mi, starting from how she ended up stranded in the mountain to their discovery of the listening device planted inside Ying Qingcang's body. When Xin Qing finished her recount, Zhang Mi's first reaction was to complain about the fact that Xin Qing had never called once she got off the mountain. After that, Zhang Mi suddenly became agitated and asked.

”Is that thing really inside his body? Won't it be dangerous?”

Young Master Shen gave her a look of disapproval. ”These things are pretty common. But usually they're only used on valuable prisoners or spies. That's because it costs a lot to use one of these things.”

”Mm,” Xin Qing said in agreement. ”That's what Chen Huan said too.”

”Those two are the best at that geek stuff,” Young Master Shen told Xin Qing placatingly. ”Let them handle that. Right now, we've got another problem on our hands. You told me that Ah Cang had sought out your partnership in an investment project? What's the deal with that? What do you think he means?”

”I gave that a few thoughts,” Xin Qing said. ”He wants us to purchase that piece of land, that must be the case.” Xin Qing booted up her laptop and pulled out all the information she had gathered on that piece of land. ”This is it,” she said. ”From what's written here, there's really nothing special about it.”

Young Master Shen frowned after he had gone through the information. ”I don't think it's that simple,” Young Master Shen said. ”Ah Cang and I had already checked out this place a few years back. At that time, Ah Cang told me that the place didn't have good prospects. Even if it's developed, the profit it brings will last for five years at most. It can't be extended beyond that.”

”You guys considered this in the past?” Xin Qing said in surprise. ”Okay, but why did he suddenly buy it now?”

Young Master Shen thought for a moment and said, ”We'll drop by the company in two days and see if we can find something there. Maybe we can learn something from the old files.”

The beginning of March marked the start of another academic year in Caesar Academy. On the first day of school, Xin Qing personally brought the three kids to the academy. At the same time, Ah Sha's two ponies were brought here as well. Ah Sha had generously given Little Xiaobai to Xiao Rui, a fact that bothered Xunxun for quite some time. But of course, Xunxun would never do anything to get back at Ah Sha, which was why Xiao Rui found himself frequently summoned by the student council to perform all kinds of labor.

Ah Nan had dug out all the old files and was now going through them together with Monica. As far as things went, today was just like another typical day. That was until Ah Nan accidentally dropped a photo from inside an envelope. His body went taut abruptly. After that, he picked up the photo and dashed out the door.

”Ah Nan?” Monica said, hurrying after him. She saw him entering Xin Qing's office.

Inside the office, Zhang Mi and Xin Qing were in the middle of deciding on new For You products to be released during the spring season when they heard the door open with a loud bang. Ah Nan barged into the office.

”Good Lord! Is there an earthquake or what?” Zhang Mi still wanted to joke but stopped short when she saw the grave look on Ah Nan's face.

Xin Qing, too, had noticed that something was not quite right with Ah Nan's demeanor. ”What's wrong?”

”We've forgotten about this person,” Ah Nan said, handing the photo to her.
