Chapter 166 Mission Progress
Li Xuanmeng didn't know that she had been exposed.
On the contrary, she always felt that things were going too smoothly recently.
Although her relationship with Pei Yanchuan was not particularly close, she had the opportunity to go there every day under the pretext of asking about his mental health.
Pei Yanchuan's diagnosis results were also moving in a positive direction.
Even the yandere value dropped drastically one day.
Seeing this, the system screamed excitedly: [Host, we have finally achieved happiness after all the hard work! Woohoo! I thought this mission was going to fail.]
Is it really true that after suffering comes happiness?
Why do I always feel uneasy inside?
Obviously everything is moving in a good direction, but this good thing came too suddenly, even more unreal than a dream.
Li Xuanmeng hugged the documents tightly in her hands and walked into the building in high heels.
The receptionist had become familiar with her these past few days, and smiled and nodded in greeting.
"Miss Li, you're here."
Li Xuanmeng nodded slightly. As she walked to the elevator, she heard several employees discussing something.
"Hey, did Mr. Pei's lover really embezzle the company's funds?"
"How could this be false? The police have issued a notice, and that illegitimate child has been fired. Don't you know that? Because of this, several of our company's collaborations have fallen through. Mr. Pei's lover is simply a rat's shit, ruining the whole thing."
"What's the point? We're already lovers, and your appetite is so huge. I heard it's worth hundreds of millions. I can't even imagine it."
"There's also a rumor that our top boss might be replaced."
"Ah? President Pei? Is this incident so influential?"
"I heard it too, don't tell anyone!"
Several employees lowered their voices. Li Xuanmeng listened for a while and turned her head slightly.
Pei Yanchuan even dealt with that stepmother?
This plot is moving a bit fast.
She walked towards the elevator thoughtfully.
After going upstairs, Li Xuanmeng entered the office as usual.
Pei Yanchuan sat on the chair. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his eyes lazily without saying anything.
Li Xuanmeng sat on the sofa. Before she could speak, a man's voice suddenly came over: "I have arranged a new residence for you. You will live there from now on. The psychological counseling is also there."
residence?
Pei Yanchuan actually arranged a place for her to live?
Li Xuanmeng was a little surprised. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a flash of red mark under the man's collar, and her eyes froze.
What is that?
The marks quickly disappeared under the collar and were completely invisible.
"What are you looking at?"
The man's cold voice interrupted his thoughts.
She quickly turned her face away and coughed, "Okay."
Remembering what the employees had said, she stood up and walked to the desk, glancing calmly under the man's collar.
"Have you been dealing with Pei Yushan recently? He hasn't sent me any messages in the past few days."
It wasn't that she doubted it, it was because Pei Yanchuan had been like this before.
In that bar before, wasn't this man holding a woman in his arms? And it was after he broke up with Yang Cici...
Li Xuanmeng was stunned as past memories reappeared in her mind.
Wait...if Pei Yanchuan is a love-brained person.
Could he accept other women so easily in his previous life?
If she hadn't suddenly seen this trace today, she would have almost forgotten about it.
Something flashed through his mind, but Li Xuanmeng didn't catch it.
The man's voice brought her back to her senses instantly.
"Just do what you should do. Pei Yushan's affairs have nothing to do with you."
Just as he finished speaking, Qi Lou suddenly knocked on the door and came in, handed in a document, and whispered a few words into Pei Yanchuan's ear.
Pei Yanchuan paused, raised his head and said, "Tell Uncle Qin to get ready."
Li Xuanmeng didn't quite understand what was going on.
The system suddenly excitedly said a good news.
[Host! The mission progress bar just jumped forward more than halfway! This means the issue that could increase Pei Yanchuan's yandere value has been resolved! Great, now we just need to focus on the strategy!]
Li Xuanmeng was stunned.
Solved?
Aren’t the mission points that can increase Pei Yanchuan’s yandere value Pei Yushan and that stepmother?
Have these people been dealt with?
How is it possible? Why are there no waves at all?
After all, during the entire process, the only time Pei Yanchuan's yandere value increased was the night Yang Cici broke up with him.
The incident between Pei Yushan and his stepmother did not increase his yandere value by even a little bit.
Even after doing all these things, she didn't hear Pei Yanchuan's yandere value drop by even a little bit.
Li Xuanmeng's mind was a little confused. She felt that many clues were already in front of her, but they were so mixed up that she couldn't tell which one was useful.
But what the system said was indeed correct. After these things were over and Yang Cici left, she only had to concentrate on conquering Pei Yanchuan, and completing the mission was just around the corner.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a man's voice again, "Today's psychological consultation is cancelled, you go back first."
It seems that Pei Yanchuan is going to deal with the things that just happened.
Li Xuanmeng nodded tactfully: "Okay."
It just so happened that she also needed time to sort out her thoughts.
Qi Lou saw her off, but before leaving, he suddenly handed her a key.
"Ms. Li, this is the key to your future residence. I'll send you the specific address later."
Li Xuanmeng came back to her senses and subconsciously took it, "Thank you."
After going downstairs, she took out her cell phone and after thinking about it, she decided to send a message to Yang Cici.
It was just that she hadn't sent a message to the other party for a long time, so she didn't know how to start the conversation. After thinking for a long time, she finally put down her phone.
Forget it, now that the plot is going in a good direction, I'd better not cause myself trouble.
She was just about to take a taxi to leave when someone suddenly sent her a message.
It was Pei Si, who I hadn’t contacted for a long time.
【Come here now.】
A string of addresses is attached below.
Li Xuanmeng hissed.
She just said that Pei Yushan hadn't contacted her recently, so why was Pei Si contacting her at this time?
She stood there, thinking for a while before replying: [Okay.]
That place was a private club. After she arrived and gave her name, the waiter took her to a private room.
When I opened the door to the private room, I was hit by a strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol.
Pei Si was seen sitting on the sofa, biting a cigarette and drinking.
After not seeing him for a few days, the man had long lost the vigor and vitality he had when we first met. His clothes were wrinkled and his face was sallow. The scars on his face did not disappear with time. Instead, after new flesh grew on his face, they were out of tune with the skin color of the people around him, which looked very awkward.
The ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts, and the wine bottles were scattered all over the place.
For some reason, Li Xuanmeng suddenly remembered the time when she was tied up by Pei Yanchuan.
Damn it, why is it always her who encounters this kind of situation?
She chose a seat farthest from the man and sat down. Before she could speak, the man spoke first: "Yang Cici and Pei Yanchuan broke up early. Did you know about this?"
She paused, then nodded: "I know."
"And after we broke up, Yang Cici went abroad." Pei Si put out his cigarette, took a sip of his wine, and stared at Li Xuanmeng. "You knew about this too?"
“…”
After a brief silence, Li Xuanmeng nodded, "I know, but I thought you were the one who said she broke up."
Pei Si narrowed his eyes and stared for a long time, then suddenly sneered.
"Li Xuanmeng, do you really think I'm easy to fool?"
Hearing these words, Li Xuanmeng felt a chill on her back.
I'm afraid the person who comes to this meeting has bad intentions.
She forced herself to calm down and looked up at the man.
"What do you mean? What did I lie to you about?"
"What's the meaning?"
Pei Si poked his cheek with the tip of his tongue and sneered, "Yang Cici and Pei Yanchuan broke up, and that lunatic didn't react at all?"
"What's the point of asking me?" Li Xuanmeng clenched her fists. "This only proves that she didn't make Pei Yanchuan fall in love with her. Even if they break up, it won't have any impact..."
"Bang—" A violent shattering sound rang out in the box, instantly interrupting her voice.
Pei Si clicked his tongue impatiently, suddenly stood up and walked over.
Before Li Xuanmeng could react, someone suddenly grabbed her hair.
"hiss--"
She gasped in pain and was forced to raise her head.
The man's grip didn't loosen at all, his eyes fierce, "You damn bitch, I didn't realize you were still a fence-sitter."
"I don't know. Why are you still helping Pei Yanchuan? I said that lunatic seemed to know everything."
The unpleasant smell of alcohol wrapped in cheap cigarettes hit Li Xuanmeng's face. Her face turned ashen, and she grimaced in pain, cursing countless times in her heart.
Depend on.
She didn't know how she was exposed, but she didn't have time to think about it now.
She spoke with difficulty: "I didn't tell anyone about it, Pei Yanchuan found out himself, what can I do?"
Hearing this, Pei Si twitched the corner of his mouth in an ambiguous way and narrowed his eyes. "You discovered it yourself? Good."
He shook Li Xuanmeng off and sat back on the sofa. "Pei Yanchuan hasn't been to counseling recently. You've been around him a lot lately. You must be the one who treated him, right?"
Li Xuanmeng's pupils shrank slightly, and her brows wrinkled slightly, not even caring about the pain.
Pei Si even knows this?
Aren't they busy with other things recently? How can they still have the energy to pay attention to her?
She swallowed and said, "That's right..."
Pei Si crossed his legs and glanced at her: "Since you are a psychiatrist, you must know how to stimulate Pei Yanchuan's illness. From now on, you will induce his illness."
“…” Li Xuanmeng silently swallowed the fact that she was just an assistant.
She touched her aching scalp and replied, "I know."
Pei Si lit another cigarette and stared at her through the smoke, his eyes as cold as a venomous snake.
"Li Xuanmeng, I'll give you one last chance. If you make another mistake, I will never let you go."
After leaving the box, Li Xuanmeng's face instantly turned dark.
She kicked the tree hard and cursed through her gritted teeth.
"Damn it!! I told you that if things go too smoothly, something will definitely go wrong!"
She originally thought that she would not be exposed so quickly, so she came here just now, but who knew Pei Si knew everything!
After calming down, Li Xuanmeng still felt something was wrong.
Pei Si knew that Yang Cici and Pei Yanchuan had broken up, that Yang Cici had gone abroad, and even that she was on Pei Yanchuan's side.
She had only confided in one person.
Li Xuanmeng frowned and took out his cell phone to send a message.
[Has Pei Si contacted you? ]
Soon, the girl replied.
[Contacted.]
What did you tell him?
[Just say we broke up. He also asked me to break up with Pei Yanchuan yesterday.]
that's all?
Could it be that Pei Si sent someone to investigate her?
Li Xuanmeng frowned. She did suspect at first that it was Yang Cici who told the story, but she had no reason to do so.
She didn't do anything to let Yang Cici down, right?
The system heard her thoughts and spoke silently: [Host, didn't you tell Pei Yanchuan about Yang Cici's purpose for approaching him? Maybe Yang Cici is taking revenge on you now.]
“…”
Would Yang Cici really be like this?
Li Xuanmeng felt a sense of disconnection.
The main reason was that Yang Cici had always given her the impression of being a simple-minded little cannon fodder.
He is a little slow, but has a strong sense of boundaries.
But revenge is unpredictable, after all, human nature is complex.
Just as I was about to put down my phone, another message popped up.
[But Pei Si seems to be doubting your identity, remember to protect yourself (*^▽^*)]
The system and Li Xuanmeng, who had just harbored malicious suspicions about others, responded: "..."
On the other side, in the waiting room.
Yang Cici supported her chin, her eyelids drooped lazily under the brim of her hat, and she looked at the news on the screen nonchalantly.
The guard's voice rang in my ears, "Miss, you can go in."
She turned off the screen, stood up, and followed the guard into a small room.
Seeing the person coming, the woman in the room didn't react until Yang Cici took off her hat and mask. She was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "What a surprise! I was wondering who would come to see me, but I didn't expect that the first person to see me would be you."
Yes, the first one.
Even her son didn't come to see her.
Yang Cici sat on a chair, looking at the woman opposite her through a layer of glass.
The woman who seemed wealthy and elegant a few days ago was now wearing prison clothes, with no makeup on and disheveled hair.
She smiled and said, "Are you doing well in there?"
"What are you going to say?" Yao Cai raised her hand, indicating the shackles in her hand. "It's already like this, how can it get better?"
As she spoke, she looked at Yang Cici and noticed that the girl was still dressed exquisitely, and paused slightly.
His eyes subconsciously looked at the girl's hand, but because the girl's hand was placed downstairs, he couldn't tell whether the ring was still there.
Yang Cici seemed to realize what she wanted to see, and raised her hand with a smile. The diamond ring on her white finger reflected a beautiful luster in the air.
"Is this what you wanted to see?"
Yao Cai's gaze lingered for a few seconds: "Are you still with Pei Yanchuan?"
Things have come to this point, it is impossible for Pei Yanchuan not to know Yang Cici's true identity.
That man was ruthless in his revenge on them, so it was impossible for him to remain indifferent to Yang Cici. Was he deliberately pretending not to know?
As soon as the words came out, the girl shook her head: "We have already separated."
Separated?
Yao Cai asked in surprise: "You broke up with Pei Yanchuan? He didn't do anything to you?"
Yang Cici looked curious: "What will he do?"
“…”
Perhaps because he was shocked by the situation, Yao Cai actually laughed after he came to his senses.
"What will he do? You know that guy is a lunatic. You lied to him, so how could he not be crazy?"
"You know what? Someone cheated on him like you did before. He grabbed the person's neck and pushed them into the pool without a trace of emotion. He was even expelled from school for that."
Yang Cici suddenly understood and said, "So you arranged this?"
Yao Cai was stunned: "What?"
Yang Cici narrowed her eyes and spoke slowly:
"I mean, Pei Yanchuan was ostracized at school before, and was also deceived. Was it all arranged by you?"
