The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Chapter 228

At this moment, Jiang Moxi and Scavenger Jing Yan were in a cafe opposite the Peninsula Hotel.

They were waiting for Hunter Cui Ming to send them the information about Donald, along with Donald’s current coordinates.

Jiang Moxi, in black trousers and a dark cashmere coat, was wrapped up tightly from head to toe, revealing neither arms nor legs, yet still dazzlingly beautiful.

Just shortly after sitting down with her, two men came over to strike up a conversation with Jiang Moxi, asking for her phone number.

The first man was dismissed by Jiang Moxi with the lame excuse of not having a mobile phone.

The second was chucklingly addressed by Jing Yan: "You’re asking for her number right in front of me, did you ask for my opinion?"

The man asked Jing Yan, "Why do I need your opinion to ask for her number?"

Jing Yan scoffed, "She’s my girlfriend; you tell me if you need my opinion?"

Thus, the man left dejectedly.

Back at his seat, the man gossiped with his companion, "These days, all the pretty girls are already taken."

"Isn’t that right? All the attractive ones are already claimed by acquaintances," his companion responded.

The two chatted and laughed, quickly settling the bill and leaving.

Once they were gone, Jing Yan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow teasingly at Jiang Moxi: "Your charm is growing by the day, girlfriend?"

"You’re not bad yourself, boyfriend."

Jiang Moxi glanced at the two female waitresses in the cafe who had been surreptitiously watching Jing Yan, then raised her coffee cup.

"We’re really well-matched!" Jing Yan exclaimed, clinking his coffee cup with Jiang Moxi’s.

Both of them smiled as they drank the warm coffee, secretly wishing each other success in their mission today.

After finishing their coffee, Hunter Cui Ming sent a message with details about Donald.

Donald was a gang leader who had intercepted and brutally murdered all those escorting shipments for another gang not once, but twice.

Hence, the leader of the rival gang, seeking to avenge his fallen brothers, enlisted Xuanming to dispatch Dead Ghost to kill Donald!

Besides the text information, there were also recent close-up photos of Donald, and his latest photos in the Peninsula Hotel dressed in a suit and tie, looking like a legitimate businessman.

Upon seeing these photos, Jiang Moxi knew that Cui Ming must be near Donald, and now was a prime moment for them to act.

She and Jing Yan could go straight in, and with Cui Ming’s inside-out support, the mission would end quickly.

But just as Jiang Moxi and Jing Yan were finishing up, settling the bill, and preparing to leave the cafe, a hysterical female voice suddenly rang out.

"Jiang Moxi, Weiwei is suffering in prison right now; how can you still have the face to be here, enjoying coffee?"

As Jiang Moxi turned around, she saw Yu Man rushing towards her, grabbing her collar and shrieking.

At this moment, even though Yu Man was still dressed in luxurious clothing, her somewhat messy hair made her look no different from a street scolding virago.

"Jiang Weiwei went to prison?"

After a brief moment of astonishment, a smile quickly appeared on the corners of Jiang Moxi’s lips: "Karma comes quite swiftly."

Jiang Moxi joined the Information Security Department initially just to stop Jiang Weiwei from entering the National Security Department and fulfilling her wishes.

She wanted to retaliate against Jiang Weiwei for previously framing her for a miscarriage and various severe actions.

But Jiang Weiwei’s actions grew more and more outrageous, even stealing Jiang Moxi’s assignment credits.

So from the second assignment onwards, Jiang Moxi added an extra set of codes into every small program.

These code sets had a cumulative effect, loading onto the computer that opened it first each time.

Once it accumulated to the final set, it would automatically install itself in the computer and start operating...

Actually, if Jiang Weiwei had not stolen her assignments even once, those codes would remain incomplete, leading to a failure in the final setup and operation.

But Jiang Weiwei’s greed was insatiable, giving no respite.

Even after Jiang Moxi gave her a final warning, she continued usurping the results of another’s labor without restraint.

In such a case, who else is there to blame?

It’s indeed karma!

The long-awaited retribution!

Yet, Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng had been running around for half a day because of Jiang Weiwei’s situation.

How could she stand Jiang Moxi mocking Jiang Weiwei like this?

"You disaster, why on earth did I give birth to a disaster like you!"

Yu Man lost control and grabbed Jiang Moxi’s collar, her crazed eyes looking like a malevolent ghost out to devour souls straight from hell.

"Weiwei is so well-behaved, she definitely wouldn’t commit a crime. It must be you, this disaster, framing her."

Just now, Jiang Guosheng had pulled many strings, finally finding someone in the leadership of the National Security Department and arranged to meet at the Peninsula Hotel to inquire about Jiang Weiwei’s current situation.

But upon meeting, the person told them that the attack initiated by Jiang Weiwei had caused the paralysis of the entire area around the Information Security Department.

This had severely disrupted the normal life of the public, breached criminal law, and even attracted the attention of their leaders.

Unless there was a significant turn of events, no one would dare to interfere, and what waited for Jiang Weiwei was imprisonment.

On hearing this, Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng felt like the sky was falling.

They had always thought that Jiang Weiwei was very promising and would soon enter the National Security Department.

Their family’s status was also expected to change as Jiang Weiwei joined the National Security Department.

But who would have expected such a huge crisis at this moment?

After the meeting, Jiang Guosheng went to the parking lot to drive the car, and Yu Man felt her world collapsing.

Yet at this moment, she saw Jiang Moxi still in the café, laughing and chatting with another man!

At that moment, all Yu Man felt was indignation and anger.

Why was it Jiang Weiwei who was incarcerated, and not Jiang Moxi?

If Jiang Moxi was the one in prison, it would have no effect on her and Jiang Guosheng, and Jiang Weiwei would still have a bright future.

That’s why Yu Man rushed over!

"You go confess right now! Say that all this was done by you, and make them release Jiang Weiwei immediately! Did you hear me?!"

Yu Man almost hysterically yelled and shook Jiang Moxi’s body vigorously, which made Jing Yan’s face change repeatedly.

He quickly pulled Jiang Moxi behind him and furiously scolded Yu Man.

"Who are you to order her around? If you shove her again, I’ll twist your head off."

Although Jing Yan knew well that this middle-aged woman’s strength and methods wouldn’t cause any harm to Jiang Moxi,

seeing Jiang Moxi being jostled still made him feel distressed.

When Jiang Moxi first joined Xuanming, she was so small.

Everyone felt it was pitiful for her to be exposed to such killings at a young age, so they naturally took extra care of her.

In the Xuanming Mercenary Corps, she was pampered and grew up being treated like a little sister by everyone, including Jing Yan.

But now, to see the girl that they cherished being treated so rudely by others, Jing Yan’s killing instinct was aroused.

At this moment, he was not the gentle and weak director of the cultural center; he was the top-tier Hunter who had killed countless alongside Dead Ghost.

However, Yu Man was completely oblivious to the looming danger, continuing to be hysterical.

"I am her mother! I gave her life, and I have every right to make her do anything!"

She also said, "As for you, probably another one blinded by her looks, right? Don’t say I didn’t warn you, she has seduced countless men to fight for her. Wake up sooner; you are just stepping stones she used to climb up the social ladder, do you really think she would be with you?"

Right now, Yu Man was solely fixated on Jiang Weiwei, wishing she could directly swap Jiang Moxi for Jiang Weiwei.

So, she disregarded everything else, spewing any belittling words about Jiang Moxi she could think of.

Meanwhile, Jing Yan, upon hearing Yu Man claiming to be Jiang Moxi’s mother, looked at Jiang Moxi with a complex expression,

as if asking, is this severely critical woman really your birth mother? Pouring all sorts of accusations on her own daughter?

And Jiang Moxi looked pale, somewhat embarrassed and helpless.

At this moment, a male voice came through: "Old witch, are you morally blackmailing Xixi again?"
