Chapter 1644: I Don't Care About Her At All

~7 min read 1,382 words

Just as this thought occurred, Xie Wanyi frowned slightly.

But immediately, he smoothed his brow again.

He gave a self-deprecating laugh, thinking to himself, what right did he have to be an enemy of the Li Family?

At best, he was nothing more than a thief who couldn't see the light of day!

Ling Yu saw the change in Xie Wanyi's expression.

This forced him to make an assumption: "What, are you starting to care about the girl next door?"

"No."

"If you don't, that's good; with her background and status, we really don't need to worry about her. For now, we should worry about the problem of where to stay."

"No need to worry about that either; we can stay here for another half a month."

We can keep staying here?

Ling Yu thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Did you go and talk to the eldest daughter of the Li Family?"

"Yes."

"She agreed that easily?"

"Yes."

"Oh my—"

Ling Yu drew out the sound, then touched his chin with his fingers, saying with a half-smile: "You really have a lot of pull; I'm starting to suspect that this eldest daughter has a thing for you."

As soon as these words were spoken, they drew a cold glare from Xie Wanyi.

That glare felt like a knife scraping across his cheek.

Cold and painful.

Ling Yu didn't dare to continue, only saying: "It was just a joke; if you're this unhappy about it, doesn't that indirectly prove that she is important to you?"

"How is she important? Stop talking nonsense!"

"Even if she isn't important, she is still special."

Xie Wanyi grew a bit impatient.

He retorted to Ling Yu: "Don't you know that we cannot afford to have any weaknesses? Don't say things like this again!"

Hearing this, Ling Yu didn't make another sound.

These two people—one overly sentimental, one heartless.

Both were impossible to read or figure out.

But...

They were both lonely.

Two days later, Jiang Motian finished her competition entry.

Xie Wanyi stopped going to the Art Studio.

Li Xingyan didn't come to keep watch either.

But he had warned Jiang Motian to stay away from that guy.

Jiang Motian agreed very obediently.

Yet in her heart, she thought her brother's warning was somewhat redundant.

Since she wasn't doing modeling anymore, the two of them certainly wouldn't have any more contact.

It was just that, whenever she thought about that guy possibly staying next door...

Jiang Motian felt quite at ease.

In reality, the time Xie Wanyi spent next door was very short.

Once his own time became ample, Xie Wanyi made some plans and snuck into the Wang Family.

At this moment, Xie Wanyi easily bypassed the Security Guard, then disabled the security measures and slipped into the study.

He opened the safe with ease and searched inside for the things he needed.

Unfortunately... he gained nothing.

This was not his first time coming to the Wang Family.

He had already searched other places before, and there were no suspicious areas.

Now, the search area was limited only to the study.

But if it wasn't in the safe, where else could the item be hidden?

Xie Wanyi felt urgent inside.

But the more anxious he became, the calmer he grew.

After scanning the room once more, suddenly, Xie Wanyi's gaze fell upon a painting.

Compared to the surrounding environment, that painting was clearly new.

On one side of the frame, the color was somewhat faded, as if it were touched often...

These discoveries made Xie Wanyi not hesitate; he walked over, raised his hand, and pushed the frame aside.

And behind this painting, there was actually a built-in safe!

The code on this safe was precise and difficult to crack.

Even for Xie Wanyi, it took some time to succeed.

However, just as he opened it, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

Damn it!

Xie Wanyi furrowed his brows and grabbed everything inside at once.

Then he locked the safe tight.

Xie Wanyi, like a shadow, hid behind the curtains.

And just as he had finished hiding, someone walked in while talking on the phone.

"Please watch your phrasing; I am the person in charge of the group now, not someone you can summon and dismiss at will anymore!"

"Fine, I have the documents put away safely; no one will be able to find them!"

"I know, I know, just stop worrying about it!"

Xiao Wang said a few words irritably, hung up the phone, and tossed the mobile phone onto the table.

He wanted to loosen his tie, but the moment he raised his hand, he noticed that the painting on the opposite wall was a bit off.

It looked like it had been moved.

Xiao Wang had obsessive-compulsive disorder; if things weren't neat and tidy, he felt uncomfortable.

So he walked over and straightened it.

It was just by straightening it like that...

He actually discovered the safe!

"Haha, I actually found it! It truly took no effort at all!!"

Xiao Wang was very excited and raised his hand to enter the password.

But what was the password?

Xiao Wang hesitated.

Yet at this very instant, a figure flashed past from behind him!

Xiao Wang was a beat slow to react...

A thief had broken into the house!!

He turned his head, about to shout.

But he stopped himself abruptly, and only after putting the picture frame back in place did he call out at the top of his lungs.

But by this time, Xie Wanyi had long since vanished without a trace.

He hurried all the way back to the small courtyard.

Once inside, he placed a stack of documents on the table.

It had been too rushed just now; Xie Wanyi hadn't had time to look at the contents, so he had just grabbed everything and brought it all over.

Hearing the commotion, Ling Yu lifted his head from in front of the computer.

He first stretched his back.

Then he said with a look of satisfaction: "You kid came back at just the right time; I just hacked into that bastard's phone and computer and found the data he had hidden!"

This result made Xie Wanyi raise his eyebrows, and he said: "If you had succeeded any earlier, I wouldn't have needed to make a trip to the Wang Family."

Xie Wanyi and Ling Yu had been operating separately.

One started from the internet.

The other personally scouted the Wang Family.

Now that the mission was complete, Ling Yu relaxed, looking sloppy and carefree.

Curious about what Xie Wanyi had brought back, he walked to the table and flipped through it casually.

But as he looked, his fingers landed on a certain page of the document, and his gaze paused slightly.

The next second, he tilted his head and muttered: "This is... a DNA test!?"

He looked again...

"Damn it, the Wang Family's grandson isn't of the Wang Family's blood? The relationships in these big families are truly messy!"

Xie Wanyi glanced at it and then analyzed: "This Xiao Wang seems to be looking for these documents too; I reckon if these things fall into his hands, there will be no need for that Boss Wang in the Hospital to exist anymore."

When Xie Wanyi analyzed this, he was very cold.

For people who didn't matter, he never stirred up too much emotion.

Ling Yu, however, was cursing and swearing.

He called those people filthy and shameless, and talked about upholding justice and the like.

Xie Wanyi acted as if he hadn't heard.

He walked to the computer to look at the data Ling Yu had found.

But soon, his eyes darkened.

"The data you found is not complete."

Ling Yu had only been focused on being happy and hadn't paid attention to whether the items were complete or not.

Now, hearing Xie Wanyi's words, he took a serious look.

It really was missing a third!

At this, Ling Yu cursed even louder.

Once he had vented enough, Xie Wanyi said: "A portion was likely sold off; the rest is waiting for the other party to offer a high price."

"Then I'll just kidnap that bastard and force him to hand over the data he sold!"
