Chapter 1675: The Wicked Ghost

Jiang Motian smiled guiltily and didn't dare to speak.

But Li Xingyan had a question to ask: "Just now, who else was in the private room?"

"That..."

Jiang Motian definitely could not mention Wei Yangyang.

But besides Wei Yangyang, it seemed, perhaps... there was someone else?

Jiang Motian blinked, her eyes dazed.

Seeing Jiang Motian remain silent, Li Xingyan asked impatiently: "Is this question that hard to answer?"

"It's not hard, it's just... I can't quite remember clearly."

Although Jiang Motian had slept for a while, her brain was a bit clearer.

But she was still a little dizzy and couldn't quite distinguish what was a dream and what had actually happened.

However, in Li Xingyan's view, her confusion was just her trying to brush him off!

Li Xingyan would not let Jiang Motian fool him today.

He took out his phone directly, found a photo, and questioned: "Who exactly sent this photo to me?"

The moment she saw the photo, Jiang Motian recalled some fragments...

These fragments were not complete, but they were enough to prove one thing...

Xie Wanyi had really been there!

And he had very wickedly sent her drunken photo to her brother!

Simply... a jerk! Wicked! A meddler!

Jiang Motian silently cursed Xie Wanyi in her heart.

But when she opened her mouth, she said calmly: "It must have been taken by a staff member; they were probably worried about me drinking alone here and wanted to avoid liability."

Li Xingyan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He did not believe this explanation.

And in order to make her brother believe her, Jiang Motian added: "I've been under a bit of pressure with my painting lately, so I just wanted to relax. I definitely won't do this again in the future."

"You promised me the same thing the last time you got drunk, but what was the result?"

"But... the pressure is high, you know. If you have pressure, you have to find a way to vent it. If you bottle it up inside, it'll break you."

Jiang Motian was right.

She had experienced immense psychological pressure in the past.

But back then, she chose to bottle it up inside and not tell anyone.

In the end...

Li Xingyan did not continue to think about it.

However, those memories did cause the anger in his heart to dissipate by more than half.

Li Xingyan even sighed.

Then he said: "I advise you to change your clothes before going home. With the smell of alcohol all over you like this, Mom will definitely be worried."

Was her brother... planning to let her off the hook?

Jiang Motian rolled her eyes, then said cautiously: "I have a change of clothes at the Art Studio, let me go back to the Art Studio first."

"Then I'll take you there."

Listening to Li Xingyan's noticeably softened tone, Jiang Motian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was now certain: her brother was indeed letting her off the hook!

What a narrow escape!

Jiang Motian quickly smiled at Li Xingyan and walked out of the private room.

She was still a bit unsteady as she walked.

Li Xingyan held her arm while showing his disdain.

After walking out of the private room, Li Xingyan looked around with sharp eyes and quickly discovered the surveillance camera.

Although he stopped pressing Jiang Motian, it did not mean... he had given up on the truth.

Once he and Jiang Motian got into the car, he secretly sent a message to his subordinate, telling them to go to the bar to pull the surveillance footage.

But before long, the subordinate told him that all the surveillance footage had disappeared.

The all-too-familiar method made Li Xingyan instantly think of one person...

"Xie, Wan, yi!"

At this moment, Xie Wanyi had just deleted the bar's surveillance video.

Thinking of the tooth mark on his face that would invite speculation, Xie Wanyi did not meet up with his subordinates.

He simply paid the bill in advance, made a phone call to his subordinate, and left the bar.

Sitting in the car, Xie Wanyi's phone suddenly rang.

He looked down and saw it was Xu Nianxin's number, so he raised his hand and hung up.

Although the call was hung up, Xu Nianxin did not give up.

She sent several messages in a row, questioning why he didn't bring her along when he went to the bar.

Under the barrage of messages, Xie Wanyi blocked the woman directly.

Instantly, the phone went quiet.

But soon, the ringtone sounded again.

This time, after checking the number, Xie Wanyi pulled the car over to the side of the road.

Then he answered the phone very solemnly: "Li Shu."

This man, whom Xie Wanyi called Li Shu, was the Hall Master of Wuyou Hall.

After breaking away from Wuyou Hall, Li Shu left most matters for Xie Wanyi to come forward and resolve.

As for himself, due to an accident many years ago, he was currently confined to a wheelchair.

Also, because of his physical condition, Li Shu was unable to attend the opening ceremony.

However, he was very concerned about the company and had also seen the situation of the opening through his mobile phone.

That lively scene made Li Shu say with great gratification: "Everything is proceeding very smoothly, and you have worked hard too."

"This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

"Once you are done with the main business, you should go and relax."

"Mm, they are already hanging out at the bar."

They...

Li Shu asked: "You didn't go play with them?"

"No, I find it a bit noisy."

These words made Li Shu shake his head and sigh: "You, sometimes you're more like an old man than I am. When I was your age, I was a regular at bars."

Xie Wanyi smiled but said nothing.

But the next instant, he restrained his smile somewhat and said seriously: "I have a grudge with the Li Family, and the Li Family has also found me; I'm afraid that..."

Although Xie Wanyi had deleted the video, he knew that with Li Xingyan's methods, he would soon learn the news of his return.

When that time came, it would be hard for him not to do something.

Li Shu comforted him: "Just do your work with peace of mind; the Li Family won't go so far as to drive you to a dead end."

When he mentioned the Li Family, he unconsciously adopted a tone of familiarity.

This made Xie Wanyi ask involuntarily: "You know the Li Family?"

"Mm, many years ago, I had a brief encounter with Jiang Baobao, but she has likely forgotten by now."

This was the first time Xie Wanyi had heard Li Shu speak of this past, and he could not help but feel surprised.

And Li Shu could not help but recall the events of those years.

But he only reminisced for a moment before returning to reality.

And with a sigh, he said: "I know you have never liked the atmosphere of the Organization and have longed for a normal life. Now that you have the opportunity to start over, don't have too many misgivings; boldly do what you like to do!"

This encouragement stirred Xie Wanyi's heart: "Thank you, Li Shu."

"You don't need to thank me; if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the courage to transform, and besides..."

Li Shu sighed long and hard, then murmured: "I am also using you to accomplish the things I didn't have the ability to do back then."

Xie Wanyi could feel that Li Shu was quite melancholy today.

He was not usually like this.

Li Shu also realized he had lost his composure, so he laughed: "Enough talk, I will be here, continuing to wait for your good news."

"Rest assured, I definitely won't let you down."

Hanging up the phone, Xie Wanyi restarted the car.

And this time, the annoyance in his eyes was gone.

Instead, there was a faint increase in anticipation for the future.

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
