The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Chapter 243

Jiang Moxi’s call connected almost immediately.

"It’s you, isn’t it?" Si Lin still stared intently at the giant screen across the street, displaying those words, slightly annoyed.

He knew Jiang Moxi was a Justice Hacker, so he was even more aware of the provocative meaning behind those words.

"Yeah." Jiang Moxi seemed too lazy to fool Si Lin, readily admitting it.

"Why? You want to save that person?"

Si Lin seemed certain of Jiang Moxi’s motives, not waiting for Jiang Moxi’s response, he asked further, "If you wanted to save them, you could have told me, why resort to hacking again?"

Such provocation against two major departments meant nothing less than an unavoidable and complete upheaval to follow.

And Si Lin wasn’t worried about the subsequent days and nights of overtime to catch the perpetrator; he simply didn’t want her to become a prisoner.

But Jiang Moxi said, "If I can do it myself, there’s no need to trouble others."

Si Lin fumed, "Jiang Moxi! Am I just someone else to you?"

He thought that after going through so much together, Jiang Moxi would at least consider him a friend.

But Jiang Moxi seemed deaf to his dissatisfaction, simply stating, "I act on my feelings, I don’t need to report to anyone."

Then, Jiang Moxi hung up the phone.

By the time Si Lin called back, Jiang Moxi had turned off her phone.

Si Lin, perturbed and restless, could only rush to the Information Security Department building.

On the other hand, Fu Youhan also received a call from the Information Security Department.

At that time, Fu Youhan was still in Fu Wangning’s hospital room.

Fu Wangning had an acute appendicitis attack last night and just finished surgery.

After Fu Youhan returned home, Old Master Fu dispatched him here.

As for administering medicine, it was an act of helplessness.

The caretaker Wangning hired had just gone to the restroom, but Wangning, fresh out of anesthesia and writhing in pain, pleaded with Youhan to pass her a painkiller tablet.

Youhan planned to leave the hospital room once Wangning’s pain subsided.

However, at that moment, his work phone rang.

Upon learning of the Justice Hacker’s provocation through the call, Fu Youhan toyed with the wheelchair’s armrest, "I’ll be right there."

Fu Wangning was lying in bed, enduring her pain while also feeling fortunate for Fu Youhan’s company.

Hearing Fu Youhan on the phone, she couldn’t help but watch him.

She saw the man’s deep and distant black eyes, his Adam’s apple sliding abruptly.

That look and movement, for some reason, made Fu Wangning think of the nights Fu Youhan spent with other women.

Just as Fu Wangning was lost in thought, Youhan finished the call and said, "I’m leaving now."

As the man prepared to leave in his wheelchair, Fu Wangning, ignoring the stitches on her body, sat up.

"Brother Han, can’t you stay with me a bit longer?" Fu Wangning covered the site of her incision, looking very weak and pitiful.

And her posture was so humble, most men couldn’t refuse.

But Fu Youhan only said, "Wangning, you rest well."

Then, Youhan maneuvered the wheelchair and left without looking back.

Wangning watched his receding figure, feeling as if the most important thing in her life was being drawn out bit by bit, the pain at the incision growing worse, her face turning frighteningly pale.

After leaving Fu Wangning’s hospital room, Fu Youhan immediately called Jiang Moxi.

But Jiang Moxi’s phone was turned off.

Fu Youhan stared at his phone for a moment, then returned to his car and took out the laptop he always carried with him.

He didn’t rush to crack the code, but went straight to tracking Jiang Moxi’s whereabouts.

Despite Jiang Moxi setting countless decoy locations, Fu Youhan quickly found her true position based on his understanding of Hacker X.

Then he headed directly to the dark internet café.

Unlike the bustling outside world, all the machines in the dark internet café were operating normally.

And soon enough, Fu Youhan saw Jiang Moxi in a corner; she was munching on cookies while watching Tom and Jerry cartoons.

At first glance, the scene looked just like a college student idling away their time in an internet café.

But who would have thought that the person watching the Tom and Jerry cartoons was the one causing chaos outside.

"Sir, would you like to start on a machine? Two spots just freed up; there’s an available seat."

The owner, noticing the man’s fine clothes and extraordinary demeanor, which didn’t seem to match someone who came to play games, proactively approached to ask.

"I’m looking for her." Fu Youhan spoke to the owner, but Jiang Moxi’s gaze had already met his.

However, there was no trace of panic in her eyes, just indifference, as if she had known all along that Fu Youhan would come.

Seeing this, the owner returned to the cashier’s desk.

And Fu Youhan found a chair to sit beside Jiang Moxi.

The environment of this internet café was quite bad, especially since the machines looked rather old.

Moreover, with the pouring rain outside, the overall atmosphere seemed dilapidated and cheap.

But what was strange was that after Fu Youhan took a seat next to Jiang Moxi, their combined stunning appearance seemed to mysteriously brighten the entire space.

Even the previously rundown internet café seemed to have an ambiance and its quality felt several notches higher.

However, oblivious to this, Jiang Moxi continued watching the cartoon and eating her cookies.

And Fu Youhan just quietly sat beside her before finally breaking the silence: "Can you tell me why a young girl of your age would suddenly get angry, without any warning?"

Knowing that Jiang Moxi left such provocative words, Fu Youhan guessed that she wanted to save Kou Fei.

The simplest solution would have been to tell him.

But Jiang Moxi chose to personally enter the fray and now ignored him upon meeting him.

It was hard for Fu Youhan not to guess that she was angry.

"It’s because I was provoked." Jiang Moxi didn’t look at Fu Youhan and stuffed two more cookies into her mouth.

They were the oatmeal cookies previously given to her by Kou Fei, and they still had a milky flavor.

Jiang Moxi was enjoying them, but Fu Youhan turned her little face towards him.

Jiang Moxi attempted to struggle, but then noticed the man’s thumb wiping at the corner of her lips.

As she froze, she saw the faint indulgent smile on that stunningly handsome and chiseled face that was inches away from her.

"Eating and still getting crumbs all over your mouth, just like a little kitten."

The man’s soft tone, and the clear reflection in his dark eyes that had only her, softened Jiang Moxi’s expression considerably.

But Jiang Moxi still swatted his hand away: "Don’t touch me with that hand that has fed others with medicine."

She didn’t know why she was so furious.

She had always thought that she could extract herself from Fu Youhan’s world at any time.

Yet seeing Fu Youhan display tenderness to someone else, Jiang Moxi felt as if her heart was being pricked with needles.

Even in front of Fu Youhan, she couldn’t hide her anger.

And Fu Youhan, his hand pushed away, paused for a moment.

He then recalled that earlier he had helped Fu Wangning take painkillers and hurriedly explained: "Wangning had an appendectomy today, she was in too much pain to get out of bed, so I just helped her take a painkiller, that’s all..."
