The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 213

Chapter 213: Chapter 213

"Did you capture anything?"

Fu Wangning’s voice was still soft and weak, but there was a note of authority in her tone.

"Nothing? Are you sure you’ve been following him these past few days?"

"Alright, I understand. Continue following him, and record any woman who approaches him."

After ending the call, Fu Wangning rubbed her brow, evidently tired.

Actually, hearing from the private detective that no intimate photos of Fu Youhan with other women were captured should have made her happy.

It proved that the woman that night was probably just a means to satisfy daily needs for Fu Youhan.

But for some reason, the less she discovered, the more uneasy she felt...

What Fu Wangning did not know was that, at that moment, the private detective was being threatened by Chi Jing with a knife pressed against his carotid artery.

"When your employer calls again, do you know how to respond?"

"I know, I know! I didn’t see anything..."

The private detective’s face was covered with fine sweat, and out of fear, his cheeks were trembling.

"If I find that there’s a next time, not just you, but your family and children will suffer too!" Chi Jing warned.

"There definitely won’t be a next time, I promise."

The private detective felt Chi Jing press the knife deeper, causing a stinging sensation on his skin, nearly scaring him to pee.

Had the employer not offered such a high amount of money, he wouldn’t have dared to take this risk.

But as it turned out, Third Master Fu was not someone just anyone could confront.

Chi Jing then pulled back his knife: "Get lost!"

The private detective scrambled away.

And Chi Jing, holding the camera just obtained from the private detective, returned to the car.

"What did you capture?" Fu Youhan was smoking a cigarette, the smoke billowing around him.

Through the rearview mirror, Chi Jing could barely make out his expression.

"I captured some photos in the Dark, and of the car arriving at Tianqin Bay. It seems to have been recently stationed there, nothing of value was captured."

"Destroy the camera and the memory card."

Fu Youhan pinched out the cigarette in his hand, then pushed open the car door and stepped into Tianqin Bay.

Jiang Moxi injured her finger today, so she didn’t go to her part-time job at Night Color and returned early to Tianqin Bay.

When Fu Youhan entered, she was holding her change of clothes, preparing to head into the bathroom.

But Fu Youhan blocked her way: "Let me help you."

Jiang Moxi, annoyed, said: "No need! Excuse me..."

Even her toes knew what would happen if she let Fu Youhan help her bathe.

Yet the man still stubbornly stood in front of Jiang Moxi, refusing to step aside.

"I’ll put on disposable gloves so they won’t get wet." Jiang Moxi’s ears turned red with annoyance.

"What if they break?" As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Youhan picked her up horizontally and carried her into the bathroom.

By the time the two left the bathroom, it was already midnight.

Jiang Moxi was so exhausted that she couldn’t lift a finger, and it was still Fu Youhan who carried her out...

The next morning, while Fu Youhan was having breakfast, he received a call from Er Yao.

"Sir, Old John’s people suddenly delivered a batch of goods."

"Goods? What goods?" Fu Youhan raised his eyebrows in surprise, as he had never made any transactions with Old John.

"JK00. Roughly thirty thousand in total."

"The latest model from the lab? Worth billions. He wants to sell it to me?"

Fu Youhan didn’t believe that someone like Old John, a mercenary who’d choose money over life, would be interested in charity.

If it were other goods, Fu Youhan might have simply asked Er Yao to send Old John away.

But JK00 was a recent model, and Fu Youhan was quite interested, even planning to find a batch himself.

Unexpectedly, Old John brought it to him.

"Not really. He said... it’s a gift for you."

Er Yao was obviously a bit incredulous too, so when he uttered the last three words, he specifically glanced at Old John beside him.

But the latter was calm and even said, "I’ve delivered the goods, I’ll be taking my leave now."

Fu Youhan watched as Jiang Moxi tried to pick up dumplings with training chopsticks across from him, but she hadn’t been able to because her fingers were wrapped in too much gauze today.

Fu Youhan simply picked up a fork, speared a dumpling, and fed it directly to her.

Seeing Jiang Moxi enjoying the food, Fu Youhan then asked Er Yao, "Are you sure there’s no problem with the goods?"

"We’ve checked with various instruments, including internally, and found no issues!" Er Yao replied.

Exactly because they couldn’t find any issues after the checks, Er Yao didn’t know how to handle the goods.

"Keep Old John here, I’ll talk to him personally in a bit," Fu Youhan dropped the remark and hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Jiang Moxi tensed up a bit when she heard Fu Youhan mention "Old John".

The sudden mention of Old John by Fu Youhan meant that Old John had completed the task she had assigned him.

Fortunately, Fu Youhan was in a rush to leave, just reminding her to finish her breakfast before he left.

As soon as Fu Youhan left, Jiang Moxi quickly exited as well.

Fu Youhan headed straight to the warehouse, while Jiang Moxi went to the Information Security Department.

Today’s classes were during the day, and by the time Jiang Moxi arrived, most of the students had already gathered.

Jiang Weiwei was already surrounded by quite a few people.

Aside from some young masters who admired Jiang Weiwei, there were also some prominent young ladies.

Jiang Weiwei always knew how to ingratiate herself.

Just today, she had given each student handmade hazelnut chocolates.

With the small gifts in hand, the students naturally started chatting with her.

Thus, many started to inquire about the dispute involving Jiang Weiwei’s family and the new student representative Jiang Moxi yesterday.

"Moxi is our adopted daughter, but she’s ignorant and fooling around with men, yet we still treat her as family, fearing she might deviate..."

Jiang Weiwei was always adept at crafting her image, and quickly established a gentle and kind true lady’s image in the hearts of other students with her explanations.

As for Jiang Moxi, who was too strikingly beautiful and too cold in demeanor, she quickly became the bad woman of promiscuity and mercenary intentions in everyone’s mind.

Just look, when Jiang Moxi entered the classroom, those who were very sympathetic towards Jiang Weiwei, the supposed victim of the fake heiress, all gave Jiang Moxi cold looks.

Seeing Jiang Moxi sit at a position towards the back, those nearby hurriedly packed up their things to move away as if avoiding a plague.

Their movements were pronounced and hard for Jiang Moxi to not notice.

However, Jiang Moxi merely glanced coldly at them and soon noticed Jiang Weiwei amidst a group of students, smiling triumphantly at her.

As if telling Jiang Moxi, "Even if you made a scene yesterday, I’m the one who won everyone’s hearts in the end."

This tactic of isolating Jiang Moxi by forming small cliques had been perfected by Jiang Weiwei since four years ago.

When Jiang Moxi first returned to the Jiang Family, Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man took relatively good care of her.

But Jiang Weiwei had started to form her little cliques back then, telling her siblings in front of Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man how she was enduring Jiang Moxi’s bullying in silence.

Since then, Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man began to grow impatient and increasingly disliked Jiang Moxi.

But back then, Jiang Moxi couldn’t be bothered with her antics, and even less so now.

So after Jiang Moxi sat down, she diverted her attention back to her phone, flipping through messages just sent by Scavenger Jing Yan.

Jiang Weiwei, seeing Jiang Moxi’s lack of reaction, felt like her strong punch had landed on cotton...
