Chapter 357 - A Tight Slap (1/2)
They proceed to make their way to Nanmu Hotel.
Inside their SUV, the few of them stayed silent.
Nanmu City was too small. They only need to pass two intersections, make a turn, and they would reach the hotel soon enough.
At this moment, Bai Muchuan suddenly ordered for them to stop the SUV.
Xiang Wan asked, “What happened?”
She thought something had cropped up.
Bai Muchuan, however, pulled the door open. “Wait for me by the roadside.”
Thud!
The door closed.
Bai Muchuan left a back view for everyone.
Quan Shaoteng rolled down the car window and looked on at his back view. “Little Bai… what is he up to?”
Xiang Wan was perplexed as well. “Beats me!”
Quan Shaoteng did not seem to believe her. “You don’t know either?”
“Mm.” Xiang Wan also looked at the diminishing figure that disappeared into a pharmacy.
“Is he feeling unwell anywhere?” Quan Shaoteng asked again.
“Maybe…” Xiang Wan contemplated over it. “He suffered a gunshot wound after all, but he’s such a stubborn person; he wouldn’t say a word even if he’s unwell anywhere!”
“Hur! He’s always like this!” agreed Quan Shaoteng.
After that, he let out a yawn and seemed no longer curious.
He leaned against his seat and tapped his fingers lazily at the back of the seat.
“Could he be preparing something for Meng Chi?”
Didn’t Tu Liang just mention that Meng Chi’s at Nanmu Hotel?
Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan had a narrow escape with their lives at Wen Xin Nunnery, with Bai Muchuan’s character, would he be able to let it go like this?
If he saw Meng Chi later and forcefully make him take some kind of drug… Wouldn’t that be awesome?
“Pffft! This will be perfect!”
Quan Shaoteng laughed sinisterly at this thought.
However, when Xiang Wan heard that, she was unable to laugh.
“… I don’t think that will happen!”
Bai Muchuan would not behave like that.
That was her opinion, but as Quan Shaoteng seemed elated by that thought, she decided to leave things be.
They waited for about three to four minutes before Bai Muchuan came back.
He opened the door and got up quietly, seemingly without the intention to explain the reason for his action.
“Let’s go!”
The SUV started to move again.
Quan Shaoteng drew closer and looked at him for a moment. “Hey brother, where did you go?”
Bai Muchuan closed his eyes lazily. “Bought some medicine!”
Quan Shaoteng replied in a soft whisper, “You’re feeling unwell?”
Bai Muchuan squinted and glanced back at him. “When I see you, I feel like giving you a good bashing!”
“… Are you bleeping sick or something?”
“Of course! Didn’t I just get some medicine for myself?”
“…”
His retort was superb!
No one could tell if he was really serious about it. Quan Shaoteng was unable to rebut him at all.
However, Xiang Wan was a little concerned.
She stole a few glances at Bai Muchuan. As they would be reaching the hotel soon, she decided to keep quiet for now.
The SUV stopped at the entrance of the hotel.
When they got down from the vehicle, their faces soon became cold when they came in contact with the strong winds.
Xiang Wan touched her rigid face and turned to Bai Muchuan. “What’s wrong?
“Mm?” asked Bai Muchuan.
“Are you feeling unwell?” Xiang Wan observed his face.
“Nope…”
“What medicine did you buy then?”
“I’m just teasing Laowu!” Bai Muchuan turned to her. When he saw Quan Shaoteng and Cheng Zheng walking behind, he tickled Xiang Wan’s palm. “I’ll give you a surprise later!”
Surprise?
Xiang Wan was confused.
Bai Muchuan held her by the waist as he walked into the hotel.
“We’ll talk later.”
There were a few people sitting in the hotel lobby.
Besides Meng Chi and Lima, there were also two to three men who Xiang Wan had not met before. From the looks of it, they should be Meng Chi’s assistants…
They wore formal clothes; there was a smile hanging on Meng Chi’s face, looking as gentlemanly as always.
As for Lima… she seemed to have especially dolled herself up?
Her originally outstanding features, combined with some heavy and gorgeous makeup, was certainly eye-catching.
Her eye makeup was especially heavy, making the distance between her eyes narrower. At one glance, Lima looked like a Eurasian…
Her clothes made her look especially sexy. In such cold weather, she was only donned in a thin dress which showed off her great figure.
What was she trying to do?
Xiang Wan was thinking about her motives when Meng Chi got up from the seat.
“Captain Bai…”
He walked towards them with a smile and stretched out a hand to Bai Muchuan.
“You’re finally back. I’ve been waiting for your return.”
Is he up to something again? Xiang Wan thought.
Those few people who were with Meng Chi also got up and walked over.
With that, the atmosphere changed.
There were some tension and a chilly feeling.
The lobby of Nanmu Hotel was not very spacious and wide. With all of them standing by the entrance like that, it made the place appear crowded.
Bai Muchuan’s hand was still holding Xiang Wan by the waist.
He glanced at Meng Chi indifferently. He did not have any intention to shake his hand.
“If it isn’t CEO Meng, I heard you’re looking for me?”
Meng Chi also glanced at Xiang Wan, Quan Shaoteng, and the others who were beside Bai Muchuan without a change in his smile and expression.
“Let’s find a place to talk? It’s not convenient to talk when there are people going in and out of here…”
“If it’s not convenient, then there’s no need to talk.”
