Chapter 44: Giving You a Chance to Return Huang Momo to the World
"Okay." Momo smiled at him, then said goodnight and went into the yard.
"Goodnight," Bian Xi replied softly, but he remained standing and watched her walk forward until the girl shrank back, waved to him, and closed the door. Only then did he turn and walk into the alley.
Bian Xi got home after midnight. His parents had already gone to bed, so he didn't turn on the living room light and walked to his bedroom by the moonlight shining in through the window.
After entering the room, he took out his phone and keys from his suit pocket to take a shower. But as soon as he placed his phone on the table, it started buzzing with a message notification.
He assumed that Momo had made up her mind so quickly and sent him the notification message. He was quite confident in Momo's reply, so he happily picked it up again.
【F】I'm giving you a chance to return Huang Momo to the sea of people.
A text message from an unknown number, yet filled with provocation.
Bian Xi held her phone and looked at it several times before putting it down and letting out a soft laugh.
Fu Yungui, who else but him would send this message? But it was a really good message; even though he didn't reveal his identity, Fu Yungui guessed it immediately.
It seems this man is quite capable; he obtained my information so quickly.
However, this message is tantamount to openly declaring war on oneself.
It seems my premonition tonight was right; he really did come to steal Momo from me, and openly at that, without hiding anything at all.
However, being open about it is not bad; at least it's much better than those treacherous people who hide their malice in silence.
His investment in Huang Sanlin's film must have been a pretext to get closer to Momo. He simply couldn't believe that such a coincidence could exist in the world.
Of all the directors in the film industry, how did he manage to choose Huang Sanlin for his first investment, and then, on this vast land, how did they manage to meet again so coincidentally?
It seems that everything was premeditated.
Bian Xi stood by the window, clutching his phone tightly, gazing at the endless darkness before him. Suddenly, he understood everything.
It seems I need to act faster and not give this man even the slightest chance, otherwise I really don't have much confidence in winning Momo back from him.
The clock on the wall had already struck two, but Fu Yungui's room was still lit. He was still sitting in front of his computer with his headphones on, and the video conference with the people in Thailand was still going on.
"How much longer?" Outside the room, Sawa's eyes were already black with exhaustion, and he was practically propping his eyelids up with two sticks. "That damned Night Hawk, it takes him this long to give a report."
"I need to go to bed early and wake up late to adjust to the time difference."
Sawa thought his idea was pretty good, but the problem was that Brother Yun wasn't sleepy at all. He seemed to be able to keep everyone awake during meetings, getting more and more excited as the meetings went on. Since he hadn't slept yet, they naturally couldn't rest first either.
Anu remained sitting upright beside him, showing no sign of sleepiness whatsoever. "Thailand is only a short distance from China, and you still have to deal with jet lag? I think you're hopeless."
"I am a subordinate of Brother Yun, a hidden dragon and a phoenix. I only need to use my intelligence, I don't need to be too physically strong, so shut up, Black Whirlwind Li Kui." When it comes to verbal advantage, Sha Wa will not give him the slightest chance.
"The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix?" Anu questioned without even looking at him.
Sawa thought he hadn't heard the word before, so he quickly and excitedly explained it to him. He had even taken the time to learn it before coming to China so that he could adapt to life here more quickly.
He recently saw that this word was very popular online, so he put it to good use: "It comes from one of China's Four Great Classical Novels and represents intelligence and loyalty. See, you didn't study, and now you're falling behind."
Anu scoffed, "Then you truly are a hidden dragon and a phoenix chick."
“Of course.” Sawa’s face was full of pride.
wrong……
Why does this sound so awkward?
"Your tone...is that insulting me?"
Anu completely ignored him. But secretly, she couldn't help but scoff, "So you're the only one who's studying, acting like nobody else has."
Without the bickering, Sawa started to get bored. After wandering around the living room for a while, he returned to his original spot and cheekily moved closer to Anu.
"Anu, what do you think Brother Yun will do next?"
"I don't know." How could he possibly guess what his boss was thinking? But his purpose in coming to China was to get Huang Momo, so he was determined to succeed.
Before leaving Thailand, Anu knew that he had given Night Hawk a month's worth of plans and tasks, so he probably wanted to finish things quickly.
“I reckon he’ll deal with that obstacle first,” Sawa chuckled. “But I’m really curious how Brother Yun will handle him.”
"Speaking of which, that man is easy to deal with; if all else fails, just do it. But what about that young lady? After returning to China, she found a boyfriend without saying a word, and they're about to get engaged. She's completely forgotten about Brother Yun. How can Brother Yun tolerate that? When has any woman ever treated him like that?"
"But Brother Yun, when he saw her tonight, he was so calm. He didn't even try to have a proper chat with her alone. I didn't expect that," Sha Wa muttered to himself.
"Luckily we arrived early. Look at the relationship between those two. If we had arrived a few months later, the little girl would probably be engaged."
"What's an engagement? Even if we get married, as long as Brother Yun is willing, he'll find a way to get his hands on her," Anu said unhurriedly.
Sawa listened with admiration, then joked, "That's why you have to look to Yun Ge when it comes to pursuing women. He never cares whether the other person agrees or not; as long as he likes her, that's all that matters."
He had barely finished speaking when he saw the man he had mentioned standing blankly behind him.
Sawa was stunned and immediately fell silent. He didn't know if Sawa had heard him. Luckily, Sawa hadn't said anything bad about him, or he probably would have lived tonight.
Fu Yungui glanced at him, and seeing that the man had already lowered his head in a guilty manner, he ignored him and walked around the wine cabinet to sit down on the sofa.
“Anu, the latest batch of goods needs to be transported to a warehouse in Myanmar for a while until their payment arrives before it is shipped out. I’ve already spoken to Night Hawk, and you’ll be in charge of the handover with the people there.”
“Okay,” Anu immediately replied. “Then I’ll contact Nighthawk tomorrow.”
"Hmm..." Fu Yungui hummed.
He then looked at Sawat and said, "You stay with Huang Momo for the next few days and keep an eye on her. I'm going back to Thailand first, and I'll deal with her when I get back."
Huh... Why isn't this going according to plan? The boss came to China for that woman, but he's already going back after just one meeting and hasn't even taken any action yet.
Judging from his expression, it shouldn't be anything urgent. I really can't figure him out.
