At that moment, a figure in a sharp suit slowly walked over.
Wang Keyi opened his eyes, his vision still blurry, but he could roughly guess who it was.
"Zheng Lin." He didn't want to call him Young Master Zheng anymore. They were rivals in love, and both wanted to make the other suffer; there was no need to pretend to respect each other.
If Zheng Lin wanted to respect him, he wouldn't have kidnapped him to this place. Wang Keyi thought to himself.
Seeing that Wang Keyi had been in the sun all morning and was already very weak, Zheng Lin said to the person next to him, "Hold an umbrella over him to block the sun."
The bodyguard immediately held up a black umbrella over Wang Keyi's head, shielding him from almost all of the sunlight.
Even with the cover on, Wang Keyi still felt hot all over and dizzy.
Assistant Gao brought over a chair from the side. After Zheng Lin sat down, Assistant Gao opened a large black umbrella that could support three or four people and dug it into the soil to shield his boss from all the sunlight.
"What happened two years ago? Why did you and my wife return to China together?" Zheng Lin asked.
He gazed at Wang Keyi for a long time.
His eyes were calm, but the lack of a response fueled his hidden anger.
Wang Keyi half-opened his eyes, recalling the wedding two years ago, the image of Sister Su Jin vomiting blood was still deeply etched in his mind.
Wang Keyi knew that what happened two years ago was an unresolved issue in Zheng Lin's heart, but he didn't want to talk about it. If he did, they would get back together, and what would he be then?
Anyway, Sister Su Jin didn't plan to let Zheng Lin know about all this; he was just helping Sister Su Jin protect the same secret.
Assistant Gao glanced at his boss beside him, fearing something might really happen, and quickly said to Wang Keyi, "If you don't tell us, we won't be able to get out of here safely. You'd better tell us quickly."
“I won’t say.” Wang Keyi’s voice was weak. “Why don’t you ask Sister Su Jin? Is it because she refuses to tell you that you came to me? If she doesn’t want to talk about it, how would I know what happened back then? Back then, I was alone outside the airport when you caught me and I almost missed my flight and messed up my business.”
"I don't want to know this." Zheng Lin once again instructed the bodyguard next to Wang Keyi, "He likes sunbathing, he doesn't need to force himself."
Because of Zheng Lin's words, the black umbrella over Wang Keyi's head was quickly removed.
Wang Keyi was exposed to the scorching sun again. His lips turned white, and five minutes later, his head lolled to the side and he fainted.
Assistant Gao was genuinely worried for him. "Boss, could he be suffering from heatstroke? Should we take him to the hospital? It seems we really can't get anything out of him, maybe we should just let him go..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Lin raised his eyes and glared at Assistant Gao: "Let him go if you want, how about I tie you up and take you away?"
Assistant Gao: "......"
Assistant Gao raised his stiff smile: "Just deduct my salary instead."
Just then, Wang Keyi's cell phone rang.
The bodyguard searched his body and took his phone, then handed it to Assistant Gao.
Upon seeing the caller ID on his phone screen, Assistant Gao truthfully reported, "It's the boss's wife calling."
The ringtone was Wang Keyi's new song, which Zheng Lin found ear-piercing.
Zheng Lin's body was tense.
Calling Wang Keyi at this time really shows how close they are.
"Answer it," Zheng Lin said, suppressing his anger. "See what she says. Just act like you're Wang Keyi's assistant."
The first two words sent a chill down Assistant Gao's spine; how frightening, boss.
This isn't just answering a phone call; it's like he's trying to kill someone.
Assistant Gao answered the phone with trepidation and put it on speakerphone.
“I’m joining the crew tomorrow. I remember you told me you’d be there for the next couple of days, right? I’d like to ask you to have dinner with me tomorrow night. It’s been a long time since the three of us have gotten together.”
A clear and pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone, and the person sounded very cheerful.
Assistant Gao held the phone in his right hand. Zheng Lin stared at Assistant Gao's right hand, his brows furrowed and his teeth clenched.
Assistant Gao felt the terrifying gaze, and his right hand went numb with fear. He quickly switched the phone to his left hand, rubbed his right hand on his clothes to let the blood flow back.
"Hey? Wang Keyi, why aren't you saying anything? Is your throat inflamed?" After a long silence, Su Jin asked in confusion.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Lin looked up at Assistant Gao's face.
Assistant Gao then realized what was happening: "I'm sorry, Ke Yi is recording a song. I'll pass on what you just said to him. Is there anything else?"
"Are you...his new assistant?"
"Oh, right. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. Bye, Miss Su." Assistant Gao hurriedly hung up the phone, then let out a breath to ease her tension.
He turned around and met his boss's cold gaze.
Assistant Gao thought to herself: Something's off about that look. Did I say something wrong? No.
Zheng Lin said coldly, "Did I tell you to hang up? You didn't ask anything on this call. You can't even handle this simple task. What use are you?"
After being scolded, Assistant Gao's brain suddenly started working quickly. "I understand. I'll call back right now and ask for their restaurant address."
Zheng Lin frowned. "Would it be useful for me to ask for their restaurant address?"
"Yes, it will work." Assistant Gao said with certainty, "You can pretend to run into her by chance. Since Wang Keyi is tied up and can't keep the appointment, you can have dinner with the boss's wife in a perfectly legitimate way."
"I don't want to have dinner with her."
"No, boss, it's what you thought."
Zheng Lin parted his thin lips slightly: "I...don't...want."
He's saying one thing and meaning another; this must be a lie. Assistant Gao knows his boss all too well, but he doesn't dare to continue.
"Should we call back? What do we want to ask?" Assistant Gao asked cautiously.
"beat."
Zheng Lin lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Ask for the address, and also ask if she wants to bring the child along for dinner."
Assistant Gao immediately made a phone call. When the first question was asked, Su Jin answered it properly, but when the second question came, Su Jin on the phone was clearly taken aback.
"You said the child." Su Jin's voice lowered, no longer as cheerful as before. "You said Wang Keyi asked you to ask me if I wanted to bring the child along for dinner?"
Assistant Gao glanced at Zheng Lin, and seeing Zheng Lin nod slightly, he said with certainty, "Yes. Is the child too young to come?"
"You're not Wang Keyi's assistant at all. Who are you? Your voice sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it."
Su Jin seemed to have become suspicious, and Assistant Gao was on high alert, his heart going numb for a second.
Assistant Gao switched hands to hold the phone again, saying, "I'm the new assistant."
Su Jin: "You're not. I don't have a child, Wang Keyi knows that. Who are you really?"
Zheng Lin's eyes narrowed, and he silently repeated the words: "No children, no children."
At this moment, his mind was in turmoil, completely chaotic.
How could there be no children?
Did Su Jin abort their child back then?
Zheng Lin clenched his right hand, thinking: So this is the real reason why they've kept quiet about the child. They were so heartless as to abort their child!
Okay, very good.
Suddenly, Assistant Gao burst into exaggerated laughter: "Hahahaha. Su Ling, we're recording a show right now, exchanging phones to call friends, and your call just happened to come in. The questions were random, thank you for your cooperation, goodbye."
Assistant Gao, in a moment of quick thinking, made up a whole bunch of lies. So convincing, even he himself didn't believe them.
