Chapter 251 It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's having someone's eye on it.

Wei Chizheng gave him a cold glance, "Resurrected from a corpse?"

Su Mu chuckled, "Just kidding, it was just too sudden, I didn't quite catch my breath. But it seems like you're quite popular."

Su Mu was Mu Lin's friend, and Xie Nanzhi only learned about it after Wei Chizheng fell off the cliff.

It turns out that Su Mu's initiative to approach her and offer to help her investigate Pei Jingchuan's criminal evidence was all arranged by Wei Chizheng behind the scenes.

She often wondered how much this man had secretly helped her behind the scenes.

Mu Lin said he couldn't explain it clearly either, but there were just a lot of things to say.

This investigation was also conducted by Su Mu, who was detained for trespassing on private property to gather evidence.

Xie Nanzhi transferred an extra 100,000 yuan to Su Mu while in the car.

Su Mu smiled wickedly, "President Nan is so generous. I just love hanging out with you."

Since they were already acquaintances, Su Mu and Xie Nanzhi didn't stand on ceremony. "President Nan, how about we go out for hot pot tonight? I know a really authentic Sichuan hot pot restaurant that I've always wanted to go to, but I couldn't bring myself to do it."

Xie Nanzhi joked, "So I'm the sucker here."

Su Mu: "How could that be? You're my biggest benefactor."

After getting to know him better, Xie Nanzhi discovered that Su Mu was a chatterbox, and she became more and more comfortable with him.

Seeing his wife chatting so happily with another man, the man's face turned extremely ugly. "Wife, I want to go home and have dinner with the children."

As soon as he spoke, he realized his tone was a bit harsh, and Wei Chizheng coughed awkwardly, glancing at Su Mu out of the corner of his eye.

To everyone's surprise, Su Mu added, "Sure, it's been a long time since I've seen Nianchi and Nianzheng. They must miss me. By the way, President Nan, your chef's poached chicken is so authentic. How about we have one tonight?"

Wei Chizheng is on the verge of a heart attack.

It turns out that this guy spent a lot of time freeloading at his house during the three years he was away.

Is he, as a father, not even as good as a private investigator?

Xie Nanzhi: "Alright."

Then, Wei Chizheng said, "Honey, I've thought about it, let's eat out. It's so late, the kitchen should already have the food ready."

Xie Nanzhi thought about it and realized it made sense.

The three decided to go to the hot pot restaurant that Su Mu had mentioned.

The hot pot restaurant was so popular that there were no seats available in the private rooms, so they had to sit in the main hall.

The waiter brought the menu, and Xie Nanzhi casually handed it to Su Mu, saying, "Order whatever you want, don't be shy."

Su Mu, of course, didn't stand on ceremony. "Don't worry, I don't consider President Nan an outsider."

Imported Wagyu beef, 800 yuan for two ounces of meat, Su Mu ordered ten plates in one go. Including the other dishes, Xie Nanzhi spent tens of thousands of yuan on this hot pot meal.

No wonder Su Mu said he couldn't bear to spend his own money on this; in the world of hot pot, this is probably the highest price ever.

The scalding hot pot of red oil was boiling, and Su Mu couldn't wait to put the slices of meat in. He ate to his heart's content, while Wei Chi remained indifferent.

He picked up the glass and took a big gulp. The ice crystals made his throat feel tight, but he couldn't suppress the anger rising in his heart.

Wei Chizheng knew that he was like an overturned bottle of vinegar, the sour taste seeping into his veins and into every part of his body, even making his fingertips feel a little numb.

Unfortunately, Xie Nanzhi didn't notice a thing.

She and Su Mu were chatting and laughing, but the worst part was that he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

During those three years, he missed out on so much of her.

Wei Chizheng glanced at Su Mu out of the corner of his eye, looking in their direction with eyes full of anger.

He subtly moved closer to Xie Nanzhi, his arm almost touching hers. Suddenly, Xie Nanzhi stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."

Xie Nanzhi walked away, but Su Mu was still grinning foolishly. "Mr. Wei, why aren't you eating? This meat is especially delicious, tender and fragrant."

Wei Chizheng glared at him, annoyed. Why did this kid seem so dim-witted?

"Are you full?"

"ah?"

"If you're still not full, I'll pack ten plates of meat for you to take home and eat your fill."

Wow, what a great thing!

Su Mu readily agreed, "Mr. Wei is so generous, thank you."

After saying that, Su Mu continued eating with his head down. Wei Chizheng took a deep breath and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

Su Mu looked up blankly.

She blinked.

It took me a full minute for my mind to process what Wei Chizheng meant.

"Ah, okay."

As he got up, he didn't forget to stuff all the beef in his bowl into his mouth, his cheeks bulging, and he stammered, "Mr. Wei, could you give me a few more plates of that seafood?"

I'm speechless.

What kind of friends does Mulin make?

Wei Chizheng grunted an "Mm" through his nose, and Su Mu was satisfied. "Mr. Wei, please tell President Nan for me that I won't greet him personally."

"Stop being so long-winded," Wei Chizheng's face darkened.

Su Mu happily got into the car with his packed belongings. Then, he called Mu Lin.

Mu Lin answered quickly, "What is it now?"

Su Mu chuckled, "Come to my house for hot pot? Top-grade marbled beef."

Mu Lin exclaimed, "Wow, did I win the lottery?"

Su Mu: "It's a long story."

Mu Lin said, "Then let's get to the point."

Su Mu, “The repatriation fee that your second master gave me.”

Mu Lin, "..."

Then, Su Mu told Mu Lin what had just happened, and didn't forget to complain, "Is your second master really that serious? My god, anyone who didn't know better would think he was born with a jealous temper. You have no idea what his eyes looked like, I still get chills thinking about it now."

Mu Lin teased, "Who told you to be so oblivious? The fact that you're still alive is already a great favor from Second Master. In Second Master's heart, even if a male mosquito appears in Sister-in-law's room, it's still his rival in love."

Su Mu was shocked. "What the hell? Is it really that serious? Is he that love-struck? He's supposed to be a big shot, how come he acts like he's never seen a woman before?"

Mu Lin said, "Hehe, for our Second Master, there is only one woman in the whole world, and that is his sister-in-law."

Su Mu: "What about the other women?"

Mulin, "club".

...

When Xie Nanzhi returned from the restroom, she found that Su Mu was gone. "Where is Su Mu?"

Wei Chizheng said coldly and sarcastically, "Wife, you don't care about me, but the first thing you do when you get back is care about another man?"

Only then did Xie Nanzhi realize that Wei Chizheng's face was practically hanging down to his toes.

Xie Nanzhi sat back down, gazing at his handsome profile, until she reached out and took his arm, asking softly, "Are you unhappy?"

His jawline, which had been taut for half a day, loosened slightly, but he still stubbornly insisted, "No."

When their eyes met, his gaze fell on the top of her head, like a large dog whose fur had been stroked, rubbing against her with a wronged and awkward expression.

Xie Nanzhi smiled and said, "Well, never mind if you don't have any. I was just about to try to comfort you."

As he spoke, he was about to let go.

But Wei Chizheng pulled her even tighter, saying, "I'm not unhappy, I'm just jealous."

Xie Nanzhi's smile deepened, and she casually said, "You're my husband, and no one can compare to your place in my heart. Besides, we even have a child together, so why would you be afraid I'll run away?"

Wei Chizheng said, "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves eyeing me."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than an exclamation came from directly in front of him, "Oh, what a coincidence, to meet you here."
