The Devil Doctor's Spicy Love-Chapter 404: Bloodhound

Back in her room, Mulan stood against the window with a smile. Her phone buzzed with Li Beiye’s message that said how a wealthy fat investor was going to be a part of Hou Tengqi’s engagement. The twinkle in her eyes returned.

Mulan philosophy was to always have options. The one person she depended on was struggling to get money himself. She wasn’t the kind of person to wait for the check magically coming flying to her side.

A smile lit her lips.

If this investment goes through, then my game will be perfect.

There were a lot of resources and computing power she needed to get her game running, even more so with the new algorithms proposed by Beiye.

She turned out to be quite one tigress, she arched her brow.

Out of everybody she had hired to be a part of her core game development, it was only Beiye who had the insight of what truly the game represented. She was just as dangerous and evil as the game was.

Humming in a good mood, she opened Hou Tengqi’s chat window.

’Better have that contract ready soon.’

She got a response within a minute.

’You seem too sure of yourself.’

’The big, fat investor is almost in the bags.’

"Almost is the keyword.’

’You like being too negative. I wonder how your fiance tolerates you.’

Suddenly, a call arrived and she raised a brow.

"What? Fingers got tired of typing?"

"Meng Rin loves me. If you say anything of the kind you said to me now then I won’t even blink before cutting you out."

"Woah, woah , woah. Calm down lover boy," her eyes slightly widened, taken aback. "You cannot even handle some teasing over your fiance."

Hou Tengqi’s voice turned harsher. "Don’t ever insinuate that Meng Rin tolerates me. She loves me. She loves me a lot."

Oh my God, he is such an idiot...

She smiled. "Of course, she loves you to the ends of this earth."

"Yes, she does," he pressed, "unlike a certain devil doctor who doesn’t even throw a glance at your side."

Mulan raised a brow again. "Is that supposed to offend me?"

He sneered. "Don’t act like you don’t care. You want him to get into your pants-"

"Please don’t use such crass words. It isn’t so befitting for the son of such an influential political family. And secondly, I don’t care if he glances at me or not or is blind in the first place. I’m not out there to get his ’love.’"

"Every woman out there wants to be Mrs. Yang - single or married. Women can cross the line of infidelity if given a choice and you say you don’t care? Bullshit."

"You don’t have to care about my emotions and whether or not he would return my intentions of coming together. The end game is to enter the Yang family."

"And then?"

She stared outside, looking at the night sky. "Do some cleanup of my own. That’s why, have that contract ready."

"You haven’t even met that investor and you are so sure you will be able to convince him to back you up?"

"I’m Xie Mulan for a damn good reason. That’s why you better not underestimate me because once I become a Yang, we’ll have a lot of business together. Our families could repair the long standing hatred once and for all~"

"I don’t care about that."

"Oh you should. A doctor’s family is very handy to keep beside you. Don’t you know it so well after Uncle Cheng stopped coming to your family?"

His eyes narrowed at the other side. "You know a lot of things, don’t you?"

"Yup~"

"I will have that contract ready once you have that investment contract ready."

"I will have it ready in no time."

"Overconfidence kills you, Xie Mulan. Don’t forget you have other competitors in the market," he smiled.

This time, her eyes narrowed. "And no way I’m losing any of this after coming this far. Also don’t forget that you also have other competitors in the market."

"Excuse me?"

She chuckled. "Oh I know how deep and loving your relationship with that actress is. She is so beautiful, isn’t she? Bet she would be many men’s fantasy~"

"You think somebody will steal her from me? I should cut our deal right now if you only want to spout such nonsense."

"Ouch," she clicked her tongue. "You really cannot handle a joke when it comes to her. Don’t worry. You two will be the happiest couple in the entire world. Meng Rin is so lucky to have you."

The call hung up abruptly and Mulan almost puked.

"Poor her..." she sighed. "Their marriage is gonna end up with her killing herself, isn’t it?"

She then leaned against the wall, sipping her wine.

"Now, Dr. Yang Mingshen. How to make you make me Mrs. Yang?"

—

Xie Zi Han pressed his brows as he leaned back against his chair. He dialed a number and it rang for two rings when it was picked up.

"Yes."

"I will also be attending the engagement function. Mulan insisted," he let out a sigh. "I couldn’t say no."

"I see. Okay."

"You are way too relaxed about this."

"You said it was fine when Dr. Williams mistook Mingshen for ’Xie Zi Han’s’ son."

"That was Dr. William, and he is in London. I know it’s harsh to say this but he also has Alzheimer’s. People can skip his confusion."

"But?" Cheng’s calm voice was tinged with quiet warning. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"But this is a public engagement function. One wrong word from anyone and it’s going to cause chaos. And if anyone connects the dots between Mingshen’s face and mine... there will be questions."

Yang Cheng finished it for him, "And questions are something neither you nor I want."

Xie Zi Han leaned forward, rubbing his temples. "Exactly."

There was a pause. The faint clinking of glass sounded from the other side of the line, followed by Cheng’s seemingly unhurried tone. "Weizhe will make sure make sure nobody connects those dots."

He smiled. "Of course, the Zhao family will be coming too."

"What are you upto these days?"

Working for your wife, aka my ex-Boss, he answered in his mind.

His eyes glinted with a dangerous flicker. "Me? Nothing special. Just being a bloodhound to sniff out the traitor."
