Chapter 133 The Mysterious Visitor

Shen Shuangmiao's heart was pounding, and her fingers trembled as she waited.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hello? Who is this?" Zhao Mobai's voice was tired.

"Mo Bai, it's me."

Shen Shuangmiao lowered her voice.

"Shuangmiao!" Zhao Mobai's voice instantly became excited and filled with surprise. "How are you? Did he hurt you? Are you safe now?"

"I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine."

Shen Shuangmiao interrupted him, asking, "Mo Bai, listen to me, can you slow down your actions towards the Zhu family a little?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Zhao Mobai's voice turned cold, tinged with obvious jealousy: "Shuangmiao, are you pleading for him? Have you forgotten how he treated you? Have you forgotten whose wife you are in name only?"

"I'm not pleading for him!"

Shen Shuangmiao hurriedly explained, "I... I just felt that there was no need to push him to the brink. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone him. I'm afraid of him..."

She couldn't bring herself to voice that terrible guess.

Shen Shuangmiao could only offer a tactful reminder: "I'm afraid that if he really loses everything, he might do something even more extreme. That would be bad for none of us."

Zhao Mobai took a deep breath on the other end of the phone, his tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of hurt.

"I did all this to defeat him as soon as possible and rescue you from his clutches. Shuangmiao, whose side are you on?"

"I……"

Shen Shuang's witty remark was rendered speechless.

Which side is she on?

All she wanted was for everyone to be safe, and for this chaotic situation to have a less tragic ending.

"I just don't want things to get out of control, Mo Bai. I'm begging you, please leave me a little room for maneuver, okay?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

In the end, Zhao Mobai compromised.

"I understand, I'll be careful. But you must also remember, one month, I'll only wait one month."

"Thanks."

Shen Shuangmiao breathed a sigh of relief, told him to take care of himself a few more times, and then hurriedly hung up the phone.

She carefully put the satellite phone back in its place, feeling her back soaked with cold sweat.

Shen Shuangmiao took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her wildly beating heart and pretending to be nonchalant, before going to the living room to play with the kitten.

Shortly after she left, Zhu Jin went inside, picked up the satellite phone, and swiped his finger across the screen a few times to bring up the call log.

Looking at the call log, his eyes darkened, and a self-deprecating smile curled at the corner of his lips.

Sure enough, she still couldn't let go of the man outside.

Zhu Jin said nothing, asked nothing, and simply deleted the record and put the phone back in his pocket.

the next day.

Shen Shuangmiao was watching the kitten roll around in the sunlight on the balcony when the roar of a helicopter came from the sky again.

The plane landed on the tarmac not far away.

Curious, Shen Shuangmiao walked to the window and looked down.

A middle-aged man in a dark suit, carrying a briefcase, stepped off the helicopter.

Zhu Jin went to greet them, and the two stood a little distance away from the villa, talking about something.

The distance was too far to hear the specific content.

However, Shen Shuangmiao could sense that the stranger's attitude towards Zhu Jin was very respectful, even somewhat cautious.

Like subordinates or people who come to handle official business.

Shen Shuangmiao felt that Zhao Mobai had done something to the Zhu family group again, and couldn't help but go downstairs to hear more clearly.

She crept closer, vaguely catching glimpses of fragmented words and phrases.

"It has been initially prepared according to your requirements."

"It can be done in a month..."

"Is there anything else you need to explain?"

A month to explain?

Shen Shuangmiao couldn't help herself and quickly walked over.

"Zhu Jin, what happened? Who is this?" Her gaze swept over the unfamiliar man.

The man was visibly taken aback when he saw her, then looked at Zhu Jin with a questioning gaze.

A fleeting look of surprise crossed Zhu Jin's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

He said in a relaxed tone, "Dr. Li, it's alright, you can go back now."

Dr. Li?

Shen Shuangmiao found it even stranger.

If it's just a routine physical exam, there's no need to make it so mysterious.

And those words just now...

Shen Shuangmiao's gaze fell on the man's chest, where there was an inconspicuous silver name tag with what appeared to be a cursive letter M engraved on it.

It is not a sign of a hospital or a common medical institution.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Li immediately nodded respectfully.

"Okay, Mr. Zhu, I'll take my leave now. Everything will proceed as planned."

After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly toward the helicopter.

Zhu Jin watched the helicopter take off and leave before turning to smile at her.

“An old friend happened to be on a business trip here and stopped by to see me. Nothing much.”

His explanation sounded reasonable, but Shen Shuangmiao didn't believe a word of it.

The man's attitude and words exuded an unusual aura.

Shen Shuangmiao stared intently at Zhu Jin, trying to find a flaw in his face.

Zhu Jin avoided her gaze, looking towards the sea, his tone carrying a rare hint of ease.

"The weather is nice today. It's getting boring staying on the island all the time. Let me take you somewhere."

Shen Shuangmiao followed, still thinking about what had just happened.

The helicopter took off, carrying them away from the isolated island and landing in a nearby tropical coastal city.

Walking down the street, you are greeted by the aroma of various food spices.

Shen Shuangmiao was in a daze for a moment, as if she had been suddenly pulled back to the vibrant world from a dream that was isolated from the world.

Zhu Jin is very familiar with this place.

"There are too many people, I'll hold your hand."

After he finished speaking, he took Shen Shuangmiao's hand and walked into the bustling crowd.

Instead of taking Chen Shuangmiao to those upscale shopping malls or restaurants, Zhu Jin turned into a market full of exotic charm.

The streets were lined with stalls selling all kinds of woven goods and local snacks with enticing aromas.

The vendors enthusiastically hawked their wares, and the tourists chatted and laughed.

Shen Shuangmiao hadn't experienced such liveliness in a long time.

She was like a curious child, her eyes drawn to all sorts of novel gadgets, occasionally stopping to take a look.

Zhu Jin remained silent by her side, keeping a step's distance, but his gaze never left her.

"Want to try this?" He stopped in front of a stall selling grilled shrimp, bought two skewers, and handed one to her.

Grilled shrimp are sprinkled with special spices.

Shen Shuangmiao hesitated for a moment, then took it and took a bite.

It tastes great.

She ate silently, while Zhu Jin went to buy some chilled coconut, inserted a straw, and handed it to her.

Coconut juice is refreshing and sweet, and drinking it makes you feel much more refreshed.

Shen Shuangmiao followed Zhu Jin, eating as they went.

Zhu Jin didn't say much, but whenever she glanced at something a few times, she would take the initiative to pay for it.

Unbeknownst to her, Shen Shuangmiao walked up to a small stall selling handmade jewelry.

The stall owner was a friendly middle-aged woman who, looking at them, smiled and said to Shen Shuangmiao in heavily accented English, "Your boyfriend is so considerate; he's been taking pictures of you the whole time!"

Shen Shuangmiao was taken aback, only then noticing that Zhu Jin had taken out his phone at some point and was filming her from a short distance away.
