Zhong Wan's life philosophy: Being poor is scarier than ghosts! A middle-aged leftover woman who has been unemployed for a year and is about to live on the streets, Zhong Wan gritted her teeth ...
Chapter 235 Your reaction... is a bit of an attempt to cover it up.
Inside the SUV, the three watched Lin Yan'an walk into the store, and the car fell silent instantly.
The young team member sitting in the back row took a sip of hot coffee and asked curiously, "Brother Mo, did you talk to them about it?"
Chen Mo glanced at him sideways and asked, "What did you say?"
"Tell me how many of us there are!"
Chen Mo was speechless: "How is that possible?"
You should know that although he had their phone numbers, he had never actually contacted them.
Moreover, he only found out after getting off the plane that there were two other people besides him.
After watching Zhong Wan and the others get on the bus, he hurriedly got on as well, having no time to talk to them.
"That's a bit of a coincidence. Our car has a dark tint, so you can't see inside from the outside."
Hearing this, Chen Mo, sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and looked at the veteran team member in the driver's seat, and said in a low voice, "Ms. Zhong Wan is no ordinary person to begin with, and her cat is practically a spirit."
After a pause, Chen Mo's voice became much calmer: "If that's the case, it's normal for them to know."
That's a load of rubbish.
He spoke without batting an eye, but inwardly he couldn't help wondering how Zhong Wan and the others knew. Did they guess? Did they see it? Or... did Director Qin tell them?
As Chen Mo thought about it, he rolled down the car window.
The cool breeze from outside the window blew in through the cracks, instantly dispelling the unreliable ideas in his mind.
He subconsciously turned his head to look in Zhong Wan's direction.
But unexpectedly!
The next second, our eyes met!
Chen Mo: "..."
He was completely numb!
Is this still an ordinary person?! Definitely not, right?!
He never expected Zhong Wanhui to suddenly look over, and even less did he expect their eyes to meet!
Even Chen Mo's usually expressionless face showed a rare moment of blankness.
His hand gripping the coffee cup tightened instantly.
Zhong Wan hadn't expected that her casual remark, so rare for her to gossip about someone behind their back, would lead to her making eye contact with the person in question the very next second.
She seemed a little guilty, which was uncharacteristic of hers. She subconsciously let go of the straw she had been biting and gave a guilty smile in Chen Mo's direction.
But to Chen Mo's surprise, the smile instantly took on a different meaning.
Chen Mo was genuinely caught off guard by her smile.
He nodded stiffly, then quickly reached out and silently rolled up the car window.
Before the window was even closed, he hastily looked away and turned his head back.
The moment the car window closed, Chen Mo truly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Cough cough."
Inside the car, the veteran player in the driver's seat couldn't help but cough a few times to hide the smile on his face.
Looking at Chen Mo, he couldn't help but tease him: "Looks like you've been spotted by a high-priority target, Old Chen, you're in trouble."
The younger team members in the back row couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Chen, your reaction... is a bit of a cover-up."
Chen Mo took a large gulp of coffee with a blank expression, and said in a steady tone, "Focus on the mission."
Veteran player: "Hehe."
Young team member: "Haha, Brother Chen, are you shy?"
"Right, right?"
The young team member peeked at Chen Mo as he spoke.
Chen Mo: "..."
He fell truly silent this time.
He glanced at the pair of curious eyes beside him and rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Looks like you're in pretty good spirits. You can drive now, and let Brother Wang rest."
Upon hearing this, veteran player Wang Ge immediately laughed. He looked at the young player with a smile and said, "Haha, Xiao Zhao, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Upon hearing this, the smile on the young team member Xiao Zhao's face instantly froze.
He turned his head stiffly, looked at Brother Wang's smiling face, and instantly wilted: "Okay, then it's my turn to drive."
Waaaaah, he really wanted to cry.
He was exhausted that day! /(ćoć)/~~
He was excited when he received the assignment in the morning, and quickly packed his things, thinking he could leave on the spot. But unexpectedly, his hateful captain made him train for another day.
They even gave him extra training!
Under the pretext of allowing him to better protect Zhong Wan, he was not released until two hours before Zhong Wan's plane landed!
He still feels sore all over.
Xiao Zhao felt wronged, Xiao Zhao wanted to cry.
He sniffed and looked at Brother Wang, saying in a deep voice, "Brother Wang, let's switch seats then."
After saying this, Xiao Zhao reluctantly unbuckled his seatbelt, preparing to switch seats with Brother Wang.
He felt his muscles all over his body protesting, especially his thighs and arms, which were both sore and swollen...
Just as he placed his hand on the car door, about to open it,
Chen Mo spoke.
"Alright, just sit still."
His voice remained flat, but he deftly unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the car door and got out, saying, "I know what your captain is like."
"Look at yourself now. You must have undergone his death training before you came out."
"Brother Wang, let me drive. I'm afraid he'll drive the car into the ditch."
Xiao Zhao was stunned upon hearing this. After listening to his words, he looked at Chen Mo with eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you so much, Brother Chen, for saving my life!"
He did feel a bit weak in his hands and feet just now. He had originally thought he could manage driving through the night, but he was still a little unsure of himself.
Especially when there is a mission to complete.
"Stop talking nonsense, buckle up, and get some rest."
Chen Mo's tone remained calm, but his movements were swift and efficient.
He stepped into the driver's seat, skillfully adjusted the seat and rearview mirror, and then reached out to pull out and fasten the seatbelt.
Brother Wang chuckled as he looked at the two of them, then turned to Xiao Zhao as he sat down in the passenger seat and said, "Xiao Zhao, it seems Old Chen still cares about you the most."
"Don't blame your brother Wang, I'm tired too."
He chuckled twice after he finished speaking, then leaned back comfortably in his chair and closed his eyes: "Alright, hurry up and get some rest, make the most of your time to recover your strength, we might still be busy in the latter half of the night."
"Yes, Brother Wang!"
Xiao Zhao quickly agreed and slumped into his chair.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo's lips curled up slightly, and his voice carried a hint of amusement: "Don't worry, you'll generally be fine at night while you're with Ms. Zhong Wan, so you can rest assured."
Upon hearing this, both of them immediately relaxed a lot.
Brother Wang: "That's good."
Xiao Zhao breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's good that everything is alright. I can finally get a good night's rest."
Zhong Wan had no idea what was going on on their side. She saw the car window roll up and watched as Chen Mo and another stranger switched seats.
She couldn't help but turn to Lin Yan'an and say, "It seems they're not coming down. Shall we go too?"
Lin Yan'an nodded, finished the last sip of coffee, reached out to tidy up the trash on the table, and casually threw it into the trash can: "Let's go, I'll leave the rest to you, I'll take a rest too."
