After finishing their business, Xu Nuo, also intoxicated, started mumbling about the past. Eventually, she fell asleep in the wicker chair.
Night Owl sighed as he looked at Xu Nuo, who was still holding a beer can and had fallen asleep.
He took the beer from Xu Nuo's hand and put it on the table, then scooped the person from the wicker chair up and effortlessly carried him to the bed. After covering him with a blanket, he took a picture of Xu Nuo's less-than-refined sleeping posture with his phone before leaving satisfied.
................................................................................................
The next morning, Xu Nuo opened her eyes and habitually reached for her phone by the bedside, only to find it empty.
After a moment of clarity, he remembered that Wang Mingwu had taken his phone!
Wang Mingwu took it, so it must be with Ye Linyan!
Xu Nuo sat up abruptly, looked around and realized he was in the clouds. As he got out of bed, he called out Night Owl's name!
"Night owl! Night owl!"
"Are you trying to summon a soul this early in the morning?!"
Night Owl appeared at the bedroom door, shirtless, with a toothbrush in his mouth and his mouth full of toothpaste foam.
"Contact Shao Rui, my phone is with my brother!"
"How can I contact him! He can call me, but I can't get through when I call back! Can't you get in touch with him?" Night Owl said as he turned and walked out.
Xu Nuo calmed herself down. Right, it seems that Shao Rui can't contact anyone except her now. He left her a small cell phone when he left!
Thinking of this, Xu Nuo didn't even bother to put on her shoes before rushing to the lobby to find the backpack she had brought out yesterday.
He rummaged through his backpack on the sofa and found the small cell phone. He immediately turned it on, and there was only one number in the contacts. Xu Nuo dialed it directly.
The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered.
"RuiRui, my phone is with my brother, could you please lock it for me?"
"It will take a little time! Wait for my call."
It was quiet on Shao Rui's end; he hung up the phone immediately after finishing his sentence.
Xu Nuo lay back on the sofa, thinking about what was on her phone. After thinking it over, it seemed that there was really nothing Ye Linyan couldn't see.
I must have drunk too much to be so nervous!
"You got in touch? Is there anything important on your phone? If so, I can help you get it back!" Night Owl came out of the washroom, already dressed.
"I just thought about it, and it seems like I don't have any!"
Xu Nuo rolled over on the sofa; the beer was still a bit strong, and her head felt a little uncomfortable.
"Hey you, won't that guy named Nan call you?"
Night Owl sat down opposite Xu Nuo and asked with a smile.
"Let them fight then, they'll find out sooner or later!" Xu Nuo stared at the ceiling, tugging at her slightly long hair in one hand.
"That guy has a crush on you?"
The night owl lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Xu Nuo was feeling unwell from a hangover when he smelled the cigarette smoke and frowned: "That's what he said, nobody would believe that!"
"I'll go and ask someone to buy you a new phone. What are your requirements?"
Night Owl took out his phone, ready to call someone.
"Anything works!"
……………………………………………………………
Ye Linyan barely slept all night, his face was full of fatigue, and he could not hide his haggard appearance!
He spent the entire night sorting through Xu Nuo's assets, only to discover that, apart from his own company, everything else was under Xu Nuo's control.
The people that he and Wang Jinfeng used before have all been replaced by Xu Nuo for various reasons during this period of time, and some of them have even disappeared and can no longer be contacted.
Just when he was at his wit's end, Xu Nuo's phone, which was on the table, beeped with a message: Beep beep beep~~~ Beep beep beep~~~~
Ye Linyan unlocked Xu Nuo's phone, opened the message interface, and saw that it was a message from Nan Qing'an:
Nono, are you awake? You didn't eat well yesterday, how about I take you to eat authentic Sichuan hot pot today?
With a thud, Ye Linyan slammed his phone onto the table, his eyes icy cold, a surge of displeasure rising within him!
He got his hands on Xu Nuo's phone last night and went through everything inside, but found nothing useful.
At this moment, Wang Jinfeng pushed open the door and came in, carrying two breakfasts in his hands.
"Lin Yan, why did you call me to your house so early in the morning? You can talk to me at the company!"
Wang Jinfeng clearly looked like he hadn't woken up yet. He put the breakfast on the table and, seeing Ye Linyan's tired expression, asked:
"What happened? Didn't you sleep all night?"
Ye Linyan closed his eyes, pressed his nose, and briefly explained the situation to Wang Jinfeng.
Upon hearing Ye Linyan's words, Wang Jinfeng's astonished expression instantly turned into anger, and he slammed his fist on the table in fury: "Damn it! Xu Nuo has betrayed us!"
Wang Jinfeng paced back and forth in Ye Linyan's study, thinking about the businesses and all the accounts related to Xu Nuo over the past few years.
"Can you please stop shaking me? It's driving me crazy!"
"I told you long ago, Xu Nuo is a wicked devil! You've raised a wolf cub by your side!"
Wang Jinfeng sat down opposite Ye Linyan and said angrily.
"You've been handling all the financial matters. Can you estimate how much he actually has in his hands right now?"
After a night of waiting, Ye Linyan had calmed down. He now needed to find out what Xu Nuo had in his hands!
Wang Jinfeng thought for a while, organizing his thoughts, before speaking:
"In the past two years, all those shell companies and other gray industries that we set up have been cleaned up! The finances are also very clean! Only the accounts of the casino in the east of the city have been reviewed several times, and the amounts are huge! There's nothing wrong with the one in the cloud!"
"If something happens in the east of the city, will it implicate the company?"
Ye Linyan pulled up the ledgers of the East City Casino on his computer; Wang Jinfeng had made a backup of them after he got them last time.
"That depends on how you investigate! There have been several large sums of money involved in the past two years that couldn't be covered up so cleanly! And..."
As Wang Jinfeng was speaking, the phone on the desk rang. It was Xu Nuo's cell phone, and the screen displayed the three words: Nan Qing'an!
Wang Jinfeng was taken aback. Ye Linyan stared at the phone for a while before answering the call.
“……………”
"Still not awake?"
A gentle, smiling voice came from the other end of the line.
The room was quiet. Even though there was no sound on, Wang Jinfeng could hear everything clearly. Looking at Ye Linyan's face, which was as cold as a deep pool, he also frowned.
"Nono? Why aren't you saying anything? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
When no reply was heard, Nan Qing'an's voice came through the phone again.
Trying to keep her voice flat, Ye Linyan took a deep breath and said into the phone, "He was sleeping soundly. Did President Nan call so early just to disturb his peaceful sleep?"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then Nan Qing'an's tone turned cold: "Ye Linyan?"
"Surprised?"
Hearing Nan Qing'an's displeased voice, Ye Linyan felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
"Heh~" Nan Qing'an chuckled softly from the other end.
"Xu Nuo is exhausted from last night and is still lying in bed. Do you want me to wake him up for you?"
Ye Lin's words carried a frivolous tone.
"No need!" Nan Qing'an's voice was icy cold as he hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Ye Linyan gave a cold laugh and threw the phone onto the table.
"Nan Qing'an? It's Nan Qing'an. When did Xu Nuo get involved with him? Could he switch sides and side with him?"
