Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 23: Any Questions?_1

Bai Xuechao’s face flushed with heat, "I’m sorry, I..."

"If you haven’t had enough, keep eating, what comes next is men’s business, just stay put."

Xiao Ming interrupted her, then asked Shen Siyi, "Where is that Mengmeng?"

"In the basement." Shen Siyi said.

Xiao Ming immediately headed for the stairs.

"Damn it! Shen, this guy is so full of himself, what’s his deal?"

As soon as Xiao Ming disappeared, the dandies crowded around Shen Siyi.

"Will you guys keep it down!"

Glancing over at Bai Xuechao, who was still sitting in the dining room, Shen Siyi took a few men out to the courtyard, lit a cigarette, and detailed everything that happened after encountering Xiao Ming.

"Do you get it? He is a real big shot, the kind who can predict and calculate, getting on his good side means soaring to the heights of success in no time!"

The dandies looked at each other, and one of them said, "Shen, I speak my mind, don’t take it personally.

In my opinion, this Xiao guy is just a scammer.

Just think about it, what if he was in cahoots with the bookstore’s owner, just waiting for you and Miss Yun to take the bait?

He warns you to be careful of someone named Mengmeng, and the same night, there’s really a Mengmeng who stabs someone, and coincidentally, her boss is his sugar mommy. Where on earth do such coincidences happen?

It all adds up only if they are in it together."

"The most crucial part is, that stamp was bought by Miss Yun for four million, not a penny less, they made a killing inside and out." Another person chimed in.

"Exactly, that bastard is definitely setting a trap, waiting to screw you over big time, Shen!"

"But then again, this scammer is really a master hand, even the usually astute Miss Yun was fooled, it’s understandable that Shen, being involved, can’t see clearly."

The group babbled on, making Shen Siyi start to doubt himself.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt the coincidences were too convenient, and he was tempted to confront Xiao Ming right then, but his gut told him to stay calm, since Yun Shi Yu held Xiao Ming in high regard.

If these uneducated fools around him could spot a scam, there was no way that extremely clever girl hadn’t seen through it.

"Shut up for a moment, I’m making a call."

He took out his phone and walked a little distance away before dialing Yun Shi Yu’s number.

Inside the basement, a young girl was tied up hand and foot on the ground. As soon as someone appeared, she immediately began to struggle violently.

Xiao Ming squatted in front of her, asking coldly, "Your name is Gu Xiangmeng, right?"

The girl stopped, her big eyes round and full of puzzlement.

Xiao Ming ripped off the tape from her mouth, and immediately she asked, "How do you know? I don’t recognize you."

It really was her!

After thinking it over, Xiao Ming said, "I don’t just know your name, I also know you lashed out at the nightclub because your sister was killed by someone.

You don’t know who it is, you only know it’s some rich guy’s son, and with hatred and no outlet, you joined the Model Company, ready to kill any rich guy’s son you run into—one is even, two would be a gain."

This time, Gu Xiangmeng’s mouth hung wide open, as if the sun had risen from the west.

"You... Who the hell are you? How could you possibly know what I’m thinking?"

Because in my last life, you stabbed to death that unlucky guy Shen Siyi, and the news reported your motive.

"I’m Xiao Ming, and I’m very interested in you. If you’re willing to work for me, not only will I take you away, but I’ll also let you know who your real enemy is when the time is right."

"What work?"

"You don’t even care about your life, are you worried about this?"

Gu Xiangmeng was taken aback, then her expression turned resolute, and she nodded vigorously, "As long as you’re not lying to me, I’m willing to do anything!"

She’s just a little girl, too easy to manipulate.

Xiao Ming tore off the tape around her, "Come with me."

Back on the first floor of the villa, the dandies immediately surrounded them with their bodyguards.

Seeing their hostile stares, Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes, "Where’s Shen Siyi?"

"Forget Shen for a second, what’s the meaning of this?" One of them pointed at Gu Xiangmeng behind him, "This girl hurt our brother, she can’t go anywhere without paying for her crime!"

"What are you trying to do?"

Bai Xuechao ran out of the dining room, positioning herself next to Xiao Ming, her expression stern and resolute.

"Stay back, it’s none of your business right now."

After glancing at her, Xiao Ming said to the dandies in a deep voice, "I have nothing to say to you, either step aside or call Shen Siyi over!"

"Hey! So the little scammer really imagines himself a god, huh?" That dandy pointed at Xiao Ming’s nose, "Let me tell you, unless you fess up about scamming Shen, I’m making you crawl out... Ah!" freeweɓnøvel.com

Xiao Ming grabbed the finger pointing at him, gave it a twist, and the pain made the dandy scream and kneel on the ground.

The other dandies stepped back at the sight, while the bodyguards closed in.

"Stop it!"

A loud shout, and Shen Siyi ran in from outside.

"Scram, get out of the way," he brushed off the bodyguards, then flashed a smile towards Xiao Ming, "Misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding! Ming, please don’t take it to heart, huh!"

Xiao Ming saw his insincere expression, didn’t care, and pointed at Gu Xiangmeng behind him, "I’m taking her with me, any problem?"
