The car drove out of the parking lot and headed towards the villa.
Perhaps because she had been at sea for so long, her legs were not used to land. Gan Tang, who usually could go shopping all day without any problems, felt unusually tired today and casually said, "My legs hurt."
Mo Huaixing lifted Gan Tang's legs and placed them on his knees, gently pressing her calves. Gan Tang's legs stiffened, the gentle touch traveling all the way to her heart, making her heart race.
"Are you feeling better?" she asked gently.
"……Um!"
Gan Tang looked up shyly, the light from her watch instantly bringing her back to her senses.
Fortunately, it was all an act! She comforted herself with this thought, unaware of the fleeting disappointment in her eyes as she did so.
Tall sycamore trees line both sides of the road, their yellowing leaves falling one by one, drifting over the hills and over the streams.
As Gan Tang watched the scenery rush by, she realized a serious problem: "Where do you live?"
Mo Huaixing said, "I've been staying at President Cheng's place, but it's not suitable now. I'll probably move to the staff dormitory tomorrow."
"Why live in a dormitory? You move in with me!" What couple in love doesn't want to be inseparable? Gan Tang felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said.
Mo Huaixing glanced at the driver in front, silently protesting: That's going too far!
He really didn't know what kind of trouble he would suffer if Lu Zhengqian were unhappy.
Seeing his suppressed anger, Gan Tang smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to live with me?"
"Miss, you are joking. This is against the rules."
"What's wrong with the rules? You're my bodyguard, you shouldn't be protecting me so closely... Ouch..."
As they were talking, a sharp pain shot through her calf, causing Gan Tang to pull her leg back and try to push him away, but she ended up falling into the man's strong arms.
Looking in the rearview mirror, the woman was indeed rushing towards the man with great eagerness. The driver calmly turned the rearview mirror and considerately slowed down.
The two people sitting in the back seat weren't actually a couple. Gan Tang just wanted to make the performance more realistic, but she went too far. Mo Huaixing only wanted her to shut up, but he didn't expect it to turn into such an awkward situation.
A soft, delicate little hand was still pressed against his chest, making him tense up.
“Young Miss! Employees of the Lu Group are not allowed to enter Yuanhuai Manor. That’s the rule.”
"oh!"
Despite the awkwardness, the act had to continue. Since they were already embracing, it wouldn't be logical to do nothing, so Gan Tang suddenly kissed him and turned to lean on the man's stiff shoulder.
"I'm just worried that I won't be able to find you when I need you."
"Don't worry, I'll be there whenever you call." Mo Huaixing stared straight ahead, motionless.
Gan Tang started playing on her phone to ease the awkwardness, but suddenly realized she didn't have his contact information, so she opened WeChat and held up the QR code in front of Mo Huaixing.
With a beep, Mo Huaixing became her second friend in the unfamiliar and cold WeChat chat; the first was Lu Zhengqian.
After dropping Gan Tang off at Yuanhuai Villa, Mo Huaixing walked back along the tree-lined path. He didn't call a designated driver; he planned to walk to the main road and take a taxi home.
As I turned down a bamboo-lined path, a taxi slowly drove up from the opposite side.
Mo Huaixing waved for him to get in the car.
"Driver, to SKP shopping mall."
The taxi didn't start. Mo Huaixing turned his head and exclaimed in shock, "Dad!"
With a "slap," a hand landed on Mo Huaixing's face.
Sheng Weide looked at his son with displeasure, "Who told you to be so clever as to save that girl?"
"Dad, I'm wearing a police badge, I can't just stand by and watch someone die, can I?" Mo Huaixing gestured for his father to drive, as stopping in this place would inevitably arouse suspicion.
"I'm not saying you can't be saved, but you can't put yourself in danger. Don't forget, you are now crucial to the success or failure of the entire homecoming plan."
Since the launch of the Return to the Nest Project, only Mo Huaixing has managed to infiltrate the Lu Group. Sheng Weide sighed inwardly and slowly started the taxi, "Even for your mother's sake, you shouldn't have acted so impulsively."
“Dad, I know what I'm doing.” At this point, Mo Huaixing asked the question he hadn't been able to understand: “How did you get Jian Suhuai's photo?”
The secret message he sent via airplane was only meant to persuade his father to convince Gan Tang's parents to trick Fu Shaojie into burning the photos.
"I've investigated him for so many years, don't you think I don't even have a single photo of him?" Sheng Weide gave a vague explanation, and continued, "Zhang Asan has been rescued, but he knows too little. You still need to dig out the criminal industry chain behind Fu Yuanshan."
It's not difficult to gather enough evidence to put Lu Zhengqian in court, but to completely uncover the criminal industry chain behind him and uproot it is an extremely difficult task.
Sheng Weide asked, "Have you had any contact with the industrial chain that Fu Cheng controls?"
Mo Huaixing shook his head. Fu Cheng had never allowed him to participate in the dark businesses he controlled. At first, he thought it was because Fu Cheng didn't trust him, but later he realized that wasn't entirely the case.
But now...
Mo Huaixing didn't say much, but said directly, "Lu Zhengqian transferred me from Fu Cheng's side to Gan Tang's side. I don't have any work to do right now."
Sheng Weide was alarmed: "He suspects you?"
"It doesn't look like it..."
"I told you not to be impulsive."
Before Mo Huaixing could finish speaking, Sheng Weide scolded his son again. Only a father knows the price he paid to gain Fu Cheng's trust.
“Dad, maybe it’s not a bad thing. Lu Zhengqian gave Fu Shaojie the drug trafficking leads that Fu Cheng had.”
When Mo Huaixing learned that Gan Tang had taken him away, he felt that his three years of hard work had gone to waste and was extremely anxious. It wasn't until Su Laogui sent him a severed finger as an apology that he realized things were not so simple.
Mo Huaixing voiced his bold guess, "There are some things Fu Cheng is unwilling to do, and Lu Zhengqian doesn't trust He Zhong, so now he needs someone to do the dirty work for him. If Fu Shaojie messes things up this time, he will definitely notice me. Maybe he has already noticed me, but he is just testing me now."
Regardless of who has ulterior motives, as long as we keep creating rivals for them, they will continue to suppress them downwards instead of challenging Lu Zhengqian's position upwards.
Sheng Weide asked in surprise, "How can you be sure he'll notice you?" After all, he has so many men under his command.
"I installed surveillance cameras on the cruise ship to get his attention." A person who always seeks the limelight, is fearless, and vindictive is best suited to be a pawn.
Mo Huaixing tried to salvage the situation: "If it weren't for Gan Tang's matter, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. So my decision to save her wasn't purely impulsive."
"Isn't this impulsive?" Sheng Weide slapped Mo Huaixing on the head.
"Dad, if I get injured, how am I going to explain it when I get back?" Mo Huaixing tidied his messy hair with displeasure and reminded him, "Who told you to come to me without following my orders? You're disorganized and undisciplined. Be careful, or I'll report you."
"Roll, roll, roll..."
We've arrived at SKP shopping mall. Shengweide parked the car and urged people to leave.
Mo Huaixing left the taxi fare behind, tore off the receipt, and got out of the car. As he entered the parking lot, he threw the receipt into the trash can.
Whether it's an undercover police officer or the Green Dragon Gang hiding behind the Lu Group, they wouldn't use their phones to make payments unless absolutely necessary, thus leaving no trace.
