Chapter 145 Barely Escaped



Is the information accurate? This is not something to joke about!

Xu Yanshu smiled slightly and quickly typed a reply: 【Absolutely true!】

Thump thump thump—

There was a knock on the office door. Xu Yanshu instinctively flipped his phone face down on the table before responding in a low voice.

"Come in!"

Xie Huanyu walked in from outside, and after stopping, she directly stated her purpose, "I need to go to Haishi on a business trip in a few days. You can come with me then."

Given Xu Yanshu's resistant attitude towards her, it's almost impossible for them to remarry in the short term. Therefore, she should take a long-term approach and first change Xu Yanshu's bad impression of her.

Traveling together on business is the best opportunity to spend time together, and leaving Kyoto also helps avoid being monitored by that perverted Zhou Zehao.

Xu Yanshu frowned in resistance, her tone not very friendly, "The finance manager doesn't seem to need to travel, right? I don't want to go, please arrange someone else!"

“But you’ve been in charge of the Haishi project all along, and the people in charge there only recognize you. You’re the most suitable person to go.” Xie Huanyu paused slightly, surprised by the unsuccessful start, and said firmly, “No matter which part it is, as an employee, you should unconditionally obey the leader’s orders!”

Haha, they're starting to make a big deal out of it now.

Xu Yanshu crossed his arms, his thin lips pressed down into a straight line, staring at Xie Huanyu without saying a word.

It's true that I was in charge before, but I handed over the relevant matters a long time ago. It's been more than a month now, so it shouldn't be my turn to be in charge.

There's no need to make a special trip to Haishi for the projects there, so this woman is just deliberately causing trouble.

Xie Huanyu felt a little uneasy under his gaze, and her aura immediately weakened. She couldn't very well say that she arranged for him to go because she wanted to have more opportunities to spend time with him, could she?

"If you really don't want to go, then I'll arrange for someone else to go!" Xie Huan waved her hand dismissively and said, pausing for a moment before continuing, "So, are you free this weekend? I know a newly opened Western restaurant..."

"I'm busy!"

Xu Yanshu refused without hesitation, and then solemnly reminded her, "Xie Huanyu, please remember that we are officially divorced, so apart from necessary business dealings, we don't need to have any other contact."

But this was not the divorce he wanted at all.

Xie Huanyu pouted unhappily, having been repeatedly rebuffed, and dared not say anything more.

She made as she was about to leave, but the man called her back at the last moment.

"I have a question I'd like to ask you, if it's convenient!"

Her eyes lit up with surprise, and Xie Huanyu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Ask away!"

"Does the Xie residence have a basement?"

basement

A flash of fear crossed Xie Huanyu's eyes, and she involuntarily tensed up. She hadn't expected Xu Yanshu to ask such a question.

Virtual imaging is only part of the basement. In addition, all kinds of torture instruments and illegal items are hidden inside. The Xie family's secret guards are all trained and trained by the father in the basement.

"There's no basement. You've been there so many times, you should know that."

Xu Yanshu nodded knowingly, "Okay, I just suddenly thought of that, that's all!"

Feeling uneasy, Xie Huanyu didn't dare to agree too much. She gave a perfunctory reply and turned to leave the office.

Xu Yanshu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, a glint of triumph flashing in his eyes.

He didn't expect Xie Huanyu to answer truthfully at all; he just wanted to test his reaction.

Now it seems that there was indeed a problem with the basement.

Even the wisest can make a mistake. Xu Yanshu nodded thoughtfully, wanting to see if Xie Junyang could escape danger this time...

——

Xie Residence

"Mr. Xie, based on a tip-off, there are illegal items hidden in your basement. We are now conducting a search!"

“There is indeed a basement in this house, but it only contains some antiques and miscellaneous items. There are no illegal items,” Xie Junyang said with a gloomy face and unusually firm tone. “If we have to search the place just because someone reports it, wouldn’t this place become a museum?”

The staff refused to budge, saying, "Chairman Xie, we are just following the rules, please cooperate!"

snort--

Xie Junyang gave a noncommittal snort, then raised his hand to signal Butler Wang to take people to the basement, a subtle glint flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Luckily, Lao Wang was vigilant, otherwise he would have gotten himself into big trouble!

"This Xu Yanshu is really something," Xie Junyang thought to himself. He couldn't just sit and wait to die like this anymore, otherwise he didn't know how many more schemes Xu Yanshu would devise for him.

About half an hour later, the group returned.

Xie Junyang first exchanged a subtle glance with Butler Wang, then asked indignantly, "So, is there anything you're talking about that's prohibited in my basement?"

"No...no, Chairman Xie," the staff member replied tremblingly, his guilt visibly evident. "We were being presumptuous this time, please forgive us!"

"If there are no other issues, we'll be leaving now!"

Xie Junyang, still seemingly angry, said in a deep voice, "Old Wang, show the guest out!"

Butler Wang saw the group out, and when he returned, Xie Huanyu was with him.

"Dad, what were those people doing here?" Xie Huanyu sensed a slight unease and asked cautiously.
