Chapter 560: Chapter 427: Couldn’t Resist Teasing Her Own Man_3

Liu Chunming was a spirited young fellow, tall and lean, and he always worked hard. But who could have thought that such a young man would betray them?

Sitting at the table with his head hanging low, Liu Chunming didn’t dare to look into Su Peng’s eyes, let alone Su Xiaofeng’s.

Su Peng looked at him with a mix of anger and disappointment, "Chunming, ever since you started working at the factory, you’ve been honest and diligent. Why did you do something to let us down this time?"

Liu Chunming looked up, regret etched across his youthful face, "Bro, I’m sorry. I had no choice. They came to me, asking me to do their bidding. If I didn’t listen, they threatened to break my legs and arms. They said if I worked for them, they’d give me a lot of money so I could leave and you would never find me. Bro, I had no choice. Now that I’ve been caught, I actually feel at ease. I’m sorry."

His mistake was his youth. Faced with such a situation, he had no idea how to handle it, so in his panic, he compromised.

"Bro, I thought they just wanted to strike a blow against our factory, to damage our business. I never thought their target was President Su. If I had known this was about him, I would have died before agreeing to help them."

"So, they had prepared expired products in advance for you to swap on the way. Then you delivered the switched items directly to the various distributors," Xiaofeng asked directly.

Liu Chunming nodded, "Yes, after the deed, they gave me five thousand yuan, and they promised me another thousand if I brought Su Big Brother to Tianma City. I could’ve left right away, to a place where you couldn’t find me. Who would have thought my car would be stopped halfway and I’d be sent here directly? Su Big Brother, I really didn’t do anything terrible. Please make sure the police don’t punish me too harshly. I still have parents at home. If they knew I did something wrong, they would be heartbroken."

"Before you did this, why didn’t you think to tell me so that we could have played along with your act? Obviously, you were tempted by the money. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, kid. Whatever you did, you must now face the consequences. As for how the police handle this, it’s their business, out of our hands," Su Peng said.

After the incident, he had thought about selling the car and fleeing. Clearly, he had felt no remorse from beginning to end.

Hearing Xiaofeng’s words, Liu Chunming’s expression started to freeze, "President Su, I truly realize my mistake now. I really didn’t know what they were going to do at first. President Su, give me another chance, I swear I’ll do my job well this time."

"Another chance?" Su Peng scoffed, "Do you think that’s possible? You’ve taken other people’s money, so naturally, you have to take responsibility."

Watching Xiaofeng and Su Peng leave the police station, Liu Chunming covered his face and wept loudly.

He had never seen so much money in one go, and their offer had tempted him immediately.

At the time, he didn’t think too much, only planning to live abroad for a couple of years if the plot was exposed before returning. He never imagined ending up in such a predicament.

If he had known what would happen, he never would’ve agreed to work for them.

This is what they say: one false step leads to another.

When they got back to the hotel, it was already past midnight.

Su Peng and Xiaoyan shared one room, Xiaonian and Xiaofeng shared another.

No sooner had Xiaofeng lain down than the phone in the room rang; she picked it up reflexively.

"Sis, who’s on the phone?" Xiaonian had just come out of the bathroom, already changed into her pajamas.

"It’s the front desk, asking if we need hot water. My throat feels a bit uncomfortable. I’m going down to ask if they have any medicine. You go ahead and sleep," Xiaofeng said with a slightly uneasy expression, checking outside the door as if she were about to commit a theft.

"Let me go with you," Xiaonian suggested, ready to follow.

With a gentle glance at her, Xiaofeng asked, "In your pajamas?"

"Then hurry back. This place doesn’t seem safe to me; it’s as if it’s full of villains," Xiaonian said nervously, scanning the room with exaggerated concern.

"All right, I’ll be right back. Look how scared you are," Xiaofeng reassured her.

Once out the door, Xiaofeng directly knocked on the neighboring room.

Ye Cheng opened the door, gave her a glance, and walked back inside.

"Why have you come? Don’t tell me you’re worried about leaving me alone here, so you followed. If that’s the case, you remember everything," Xiaofeng uttered, alluding to amnesia.

Memory loss is such an annoyance. They had shared so many memories, and now only she remembered any of it.

"Someone used a diversion tactic. I was afraid you weren’t bright enough and would be tricked, so I came to check on you. I might not remember some things, but you are my wife. I can’t just not care about you," he said.

"Tsk, why not just say you were worried about me and wanted to protect me? Why beat around the bush? It’s tiring," Xiaofeng said as she sat on the bed swinging her legs, "But as it turns out, they didn’t dare to do their worst; I’m fine, aren’t I?"

If the opponent really used their full strength, she surely wouldn’t have come out unscathed.

"Don’t get too confident. If they really wanted to harm you, they certainly have other plans in store."

"Will you stay by my side then?" Xiaofeng blinked, tugging at his sleeve.

Flirting with someone who has lost their memory can be amusing, especially with the man before her.

Ye Cheng met her lively gaze, his Adam’s apple moved, and he casually sat beside her, "I am by your side right now, am I not?"

Before he could react, Xiaofeng had already seated herself on his lap. She pinched his face, all smiles, "Since you’re here, let’s have a good chat."

With a swift move, Ye Cheng flipped her beneath him, his voice laced with frustration, "Su Xiaofeng, remember it was you who said so."

...

When Xiaofeng returned, Xiaonian was still awake, probably hoping to sleep but too worried about Xiaofeng to manage it.

"Sis, where did you go? Why were you gone so long? I almost woke up the others to look for you," Xiaonian queried.

Coming back after over an hour when she just said she would step out for a minute.

A flicker of discomfort crossed Xiaofeng’s face as she quickly climbed into bed, "I sat downstairs for a while, thinking over what’s happened these past few days."

She had intended to tease him a little, but he wouldn’t let her leave, and after over an hour of struggling, he finally let her go.

That’s the thing with some men; they seem so serious and aloof, but behind closed doors, well...

And she couldn’t help teasing her own husband.
