If Xiao Gao knew what Chen Nian was thinking, he would definitely regret taking out that phone...
After brutally murdering Shen Qingshan, Chen Nian's character underwent a terrible change.
At this moment, Chen Nian was holding the phone he had just snatched away, and the last bit of conscience in his heart was crumbling:
"How did Dad's phone end up in Xiao Gao's hands?"
The base exit is rarely used, and in such extreme cold, who would walk out of the hidden cave outside the exit?
How did Xiao Gao discover the cave?
Even knowing there was a cave there, and having happened to see the man frozen to death, how did Xiao Gao know that the man who froze to death was his father?
There are just too many suspicious points here...
Every single point is baffling, and all the contradictions point to Xiao Gao!
Chen Nian glanced at Xiao Gao. He had saved him in the warehouse, so he decided to give him a chance to explain.
So he forced a smile, thanked Xiao Gao, and then casually asked:
"By the way, how did you know my dad was in that cave?"
Xiao Gao was also stumped by this question:
The cave was discovered when we were rescuing Miss Wang, but we can't reveal that Miss Wang had been to the base.
Even if Ms. Wang were replaced by someone else, there would be no reason to bring her into the base in such a roundabout way.
Most importantly, that exit is rarely used, and even if it is used, who would brave the freezing cold to stay in the cave outside?
Telling the truth is unacceptable, and lying is also unreasonable; this has stumped Xiao Gao...
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Gao finally came up with a lame excuse: "I saw it by accident during a mission."
Xiao Gao knew this reason was full of holes, but he would rather lie than betray President Xu and expose Miss Wang's affair.
Chen Nian knew perfectly well that this was a lie; he could see every subtle expression on Xiao Gao's face clearly.
Is it nervousness? Is it embarrassment? Is it avoidance?
Chen Nian's hand, which had been resting on his lap, slowly clenched into a fist, the phone in his palm digging into his flesh...
Asking further would only result in more lies, so Chen Nian chuckled softly, stood up, and left with the words, "I'm full."
Looking at his gloomy back and then at the barely touched food on his plate, Xiao Gao felt a surge of worry.
"Is Chen Nian overthinking things?"
"I shouldn't have taken out that phone. I should ask President Xu what to do later. This is really frustrating..."
Chen Nian hid alone in a secluded spot, leaning against the cave wall, his face twitching, his eyes bloodshot…
Blinded by anger, he came up with countless reasons for Xiao Gao's situation, the most plausible of which was:
Xiao Gao was also there when his father died in that cave. In the struggle between Xu Neng and Shen Qingshan, his father became a pointless sacrifice.
And in the end, he himself became a "knife" that killed Shen Qingshan.
That makes sense...
Chen Nian's head was bowed, the tips of his hair were soaked with sweat, and beads of sweat slid down from the ends...
He suddenly raised his head, and a smile seemed to appear on his face:
"It's impossible to get the truth out of him."
People only speak the truth when they are about to die.
...
Xiao Gao felt increasingly uneasy and decided to go to Mr. Xu for help, but when he arrived, Mr. Xu was nowhere to be found.
Left with no other option, he knocked on Lin Jieyu's door:
Do you know where General Manager Xu went?
Lin Jieyu shook her head; she didn't know when Commander Xu had left.
Xu Neng was already on his way to the unfinished building when Xiao Gao called. Worried that something had happened at the base, he had to stop the sled.
"What's up?"
"Mr. Xu, it seems that Chen Nian has become suspicious of me."
"What do you suspect?"
"I don't know. He asked some strange questions today, like how I found that cave. I certainly couldn't tell the truth, so I just made up an excuse..."
I feel...something's not right with him..."
Xu Neng frowned, not expecting Chen Nian to become so suspicious; the more he explained, the more confusing the matter became.
"Let's talk about it when I get back. You don't need to do or say anything right now. Just remember one thing: his father's death has nothing to do with us."
"Alright, Mr. Xu, when are you coming back? Did you go to see Miss Wang?"
"I'll be back before dawn. Keep an eye on the base for me."
"yes."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Neng was stunned for a long time. He had only glanced at Shen Qingshan's death before, and it was hard to imagine that Chen Nian had done it.
Should he tell Wang Feifei about his situation?
No, if she finds out, I don't know what she'll do to help Chen Nian.
Chen Nian is an uncertain factor, and involving Wang Feifei in this situation carries inherent risks.
...
When Xu Neng arrived downstairs, it was already past ten o'clock.
The moon is very round and big tonight, casting a long shadow on him.
Xu Neng walked up step by step, recalling every moment he had spent with her.
The last time she risked her life to come to the base, crying and saying "I love you," Xu Neng was deeply moved. Even before reaching the safe house, his heart was already pounding with emotion...
I was about to see her, and I unconsciously quickened my pace.
Finally, upon entering that warm space, just like last time, Wang Feifei was nowhere to be seen in the living room; she was taking a shower.
Xu felt his throat go dry and gulped down a glass of water, but it couldn't extinguish the fire in his heart.
He couldn't wait any longer...
Xu Neng pushed open the bathroom door and called out, "Feifei..."
A cloud of steam hung in the air inside the glass door. Wang Feifei, who was soaking in the bathtub, paused for a moment upon hearing the call…
"Why does it sound like Xu Neng's voice? Am I hallucinating?"
She stood up, opened the sliding door, and had just stepped out when she found Xu Neng standing outside...
"You...how did you get here..."
She froze, and only when she came to her senses did she realize that she was completely naked.
She tried to escape back to the bathroom, but Xu Neng held her tightly in his arms...
Xu Neng's clothes were rough and cold, rubbing against her smooth, warm skin, causing her to shudder.
"Are you cold, Fifi?"
Xu Neng's husky voice entered her ears, causing ripples in her heart...
Wang Feifei was a little dazed. She slowly reached her arms behind his waist and then hugged him. His waist was strong and muscular.
Xu Neng's throat tightened, and he could no longer resist. He leaned down and bit her cherry lips, savoring them tenderly...
Wang Feifei murmured "Xu Neng..." over and over again, her rapid breathing making her words indistinct yet incredibly alluring.
Xu lifted her into the air as he had done before, and Wang Feifei clung tightly to him, feeling the intimate gesture that had appeared countless times in her dreams.
His burning palms lifted her buttocks, yet the touch was slippery and smooth...
Xu, who was inexperienced in matters of the heart, didn't understand. He thought that she was still wet from being exposed to the sun and was worried that she would catch a cold, so he reached out a towel to dry her off.
Suddenly, Wang Feifei kissed him. The rough fabric made her body feel hot all over. This kiss was even more passionate, guiding him closer to the bathtub...
