Chapter 426: If You Hang Up Now, I’ll Come Right Away

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“You call this settling the accounts?” Number 1357 asked Lin Shanchu with uncertainty.

“That’s right. Tang Qidai owes us all this.” Lin Shanchu stood up and yawned. “She hasn’t even paid off her debt, so why should she live a good life?”

According to Buddhism, one would achieve salvation after giving up evil.

However, Lin Shanchu could not do good deeds, nor did she believe in Buddhism.

Lin Shanchu only knew that those who owed a debt had to pay it back sooner or later.

He Xiang walked out in a daze. When she saw Lin Shanchu and Number 1357, she asked, “Sister Lin, what are you guys doing?”.

Lin Shanchu smiled calmly as she replied, “We’re just chatting.”

Number 1357 nodded hurriedly. “Yeah.”

He Xiang said, “…Oh.”

She felt that Lin Shanchu and her uncle had been acting a little strange recently. They often stayed all night or woke up early in the morning.

She had a feeling that they were plotting something.

However, with Lin Shanchu’s personality, even if she wanted to plot something, she would not do it secretly. Instead, she would do it openly.

“What are you looking at?” He Xiang noticed the laptop on the coffee table.

Number 1357 hurriedly closed the laptop and replied, “I borrowed it. I’ll return it later.”

He Xiang looked at the dark sky outside. “…Huh?”

Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and said, “Missy, why are you so talkative? Go back to sleep.”

He Xiang went back to her room with a confused look on her face.

Lin Shanchu urged Number 1357. “Make a copy of the video.”

After copying the video, Number 1357 sent a copy to Lin Shanchu’s phone.

The previously erased evidence related to Lu Shiyuan had cast a shadow over Lin Shanchu’s heart.

After receiving the video, Lin Shanchu asked Number 1357 with a grave expression, “What’s Tang Qidai’s character in the initial plot? Did she have an aura?”

“There’s no such an unreasonable character in the initial plot.”

“Oh.”

Lin Shanchu was barely relieved, but still she felt a little insecure. Hence, she backed up many copies of the video and sent one copy to Huo Xunzhou.

It was already past five in the morning.

As soon as she sent it, her phone vibrated.

Huo Xunzhou: [You didn’t sleep, or did you just wake up?]

To her surprise, Huo Xunzhou sent her a message!

Lin Shanchu: [I didn’t sleep. How about you?]

Huo Xunzhou: [I just woke up.]

Just as Lin Shanchu was about to continue typing, Huo Xunzhou called her.

She picked up the phone. Before she could say a word, Huo Xunzhou threw a series of questions at her in a deep voice.

“What did you do? Where did you get the video? You met Lu Shiyuan again?”

“…”

She was too careless.

Huo Xunzhou was so smart that he naturally thought of all these speculations when he saw the video.

Lin Shanchu wondered if she should just pretend to hang up the phone due to the bad signal.

“If you hang up now, I’ll come over right away,” Huo Xunzhou said as if he could guess what she was thinking. freewe(b)novel

Lin Shanchu could hear the rustling sound of changing clothes coming from the other end of the phone.

Huo Xunzhou always meant what he said.

She knew that if she hung up the phone, he would rush over immediately.

However, Huo Xunzhou would certainly rush over right away if she told him the truth.

However, she had no choice but to say it. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝓫𝓷𝓸𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝓶

Lin Shanchu stammered, “I went to the neighbor’s house to get something.”

Huo Xunzhou asked, “Which neighbor? What did you take?”

Lin Shanchu’s voice gradually became softer as she spoke, “To get the video from the opposite neighbor.”

Huo Xunzhou fell silent for a moment before he spoke, “Got it. You should go to sleep first.”

“Oh.”

Just like that?

Lin Shanchu did not hang up the phone immediately. Instead, she waited for a while to make sure that Huo Xunzhou did not want her to hang up.

She was still thinking about this event when she went back to her room to sleep.

Huo Xunzhou’s reaction was so calm that she was a little scared. She had a feeling that he would definitely teach her a lesson when he came over later.

Whatever. She should sleep for now.

…

Lin Shanchu slept soundly.

The curtains in the room were very effective in blocking out the light. When she woke up, the room was still dark, but she could feel that it was already daytime outside.

“…What time is it?” she mumbled as she reached for her phone.

As soon as she got her phone, a man’s deep and magnetic voice sounded in the room.

“9:00 a.m.”

Lin Shanchu was stunned.

The next moment, the bedside lamp suddenly lit up.

Lin Shanchu quickly got used to the dim light and looked in the direction of the bedside lamp, only to find Huo Xunzhou sitting on the armchair next to her.

“You’re here.” Lin Shanchu’s eyes were filled with joy. Then, she lifted the blanket and climbed to the bed to look at him. “Why didn’t you call me when you came?”

Huo Xunzhou got up and walked to the bed before pulling the blanket over her. “I didn’t wake you up when I saw you were sleeping soundly.”

At first, he was here to question her.

However, when he saw that she was sleeping so soundly and obediently, the anger that he had accumulated along the way disappeared in an instant.

No matter what, it was fine as long as she was alright.

Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly and leaned into his arms before she asked softly, “It’s a long way from the Huo family’s old mansion, isn’t it? It’s really hard for you to drive so far so early in the morning…”

She sounded as if she was very worried about him.

“I’m not angry anymore,” Huo Xunzhou said coldly as he looked down at her.

Lin Shanchu pushed him away and sat up straight before she complained, “Oh, why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Huo Xunzhou was speechless. He regretted telling her the truth. If he had known earlier, he would have pretended to be angry to scare her.

“You haven’t had breakfast, have you? He Xiang must have already prepared breakfast. Come, let’s have breakfast.” Lin Shanchu lifted the blanket and got out of bed. After that, she put on a jacket and pulled Huo Xunzhou out.

He Xiang and Number 1357 were in the living room.

He Xiang was squatting on the sofa and looking at her phone while Number 1357 was watching the Sweet Pet Theater.

“Sister Lin, you’re awake…” He Xiang stood up and nodded at Huo Xunzhou. “Teacher Huo.”

She put down her phone and walked quickly into the dining room. “I’ll go heat up breakfast for you guys.”

He Xiang left after heating up breakfast, leaving Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou to have breakfast in the dining room.

Huo Xunzhou peeled a hard-boiled egg and handed it to Lin Shanchu. “I found Lu Shiyuan. I’ll have someone keep an eye on him now.”

Lin Shanchu took the egg and took a bite. “Where did he go?”

“He went to the Cheng family,” Huo Xunzhou said thoughtfully.

Lin Shanchu took a sip of milk and swallowed the food in her mouth. Then, she asked with a smile, “He went to meet Tang Qidai?”

Huo Xunzhou acquiesced without a word.

Lu Shiyuan used to live a luxurious life, but now he was living a miserable life. Now that he was down and out, he did not want to swallow his pride to do hard work, so he could only keep blackmailing Tang Qidai.

He even went out to the Cheng family’s house in the middle of the night to wait for Tang Qidai so that he could ask her for money once he met her.

However, he still had the system with him, so Lin Shanchu could not lay a hand on him for now.

Sending Tang Qidai to jail first would not only settle the accounts, but it would also cut off Lu Shiyuan’s source of income. It was killing two birds with one stone.

Huo Xunzhou suddenly said, “The date of the Cheng family’s engagement party has been set.”
