Chapter 616
He poured himself a cup of coffee and quite coolly sat down on a single-person sofa, long legs folded, sipping his coffee while looking out at the snow scene. It was as if he had merged seamlessly into the snowy landscape, poised yet ethereal… that sight…
Suddenly, Tang Zhou understood why his silly rabbit had a crush on him and ended up running into a tree stump. Who could resist?
With the silly rabbit cradled in his arms, Tang Zhou walked over and sat down on the single sofa across from Leng Chenmo. Lowering his head to stroke the fluffy rabbit, he remarked, “Hey, Leng Chenmo, you tricked me into coming abroad with you. Were you planning on evading arrest by the police?”
Leng Chenmo slightly lifted his eyes, fixing them on Tang Zhou.
Tang Zhou, wearing a white sweater, had a refined face paired with a bright and fair complexion. His fluffy fringe gave him an adorable, soft appearance.
Leng Chenmo replied with a simple, “Hm?”
...
“Don’t play innocent. The Leng Corporation was raided by the police today. From President Leng Wei Hong to the key executives, they’re all under arrest. Right now, you’re probably the only one who got away. Could this be considered aiding your escape abroad?” noveldrama
Leng Chenmo set his coffee aside: “I was expelled from the Leng Family a long time ago. Now that the Leng Family is in trouble, why should they come after me?”
Picking up Leng Chenmo’s coffee, Tang Zhou took a gulp, returning it to its original spot, “You think I’m a fool? It’s been only a bit over three months since you were evicted from the Leng family. Could Leng Wei Hong cause such a big incident in such a short period? What on earth happened to your family that led to this serious of a problem? This is big news, and the country must be buzzing about it now.”
Leng Chenmo stared at the coffee that Tang Zhou had half-drunk for a while. Then he picked back up the cup, running his finger along the rim for a moment, before uttering, “Isn’t Mu Nianbai going to take office as the head of the police department soon? Why don’t you ask him?”
Stroking the little rabbit, Tang Zhou impatiently responded, “Isn’t ‘about to take office’ the same as ‘not yet in office’? How would he know?”
Leng Chenmo said, “These days, he’s been transitioning for the new job. The day after tomorrow is President Ye Shiting’s inauguration. By now, the ones about to take office are mostly done with their handover. ‘About to take office’ means already in the job. There is an old saying ‘Every new official should pound with three fires.’
“What do you mean by ‘Every new official should pound with three fires’? Are you suggesting that my Brother Nian Bai is behind everything with the Leng Family?”
Leng Chenmo felt that the coffee Tang Zhou had tasted somehow had a different flavor now. He relished the flavor even more, drinking leisurely.
Tang Zhou couldn’t stand Leng Chenmo’s slow-as-molasses style of conversation, so he directly pulled out his cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Mu Nianbai asking for the full story.
Busy with work, Mu Nianbai didn’t have time to chit-chat, so he simply replied with one message: [Leng Chenmo sent me an informant letter.]
Tang Zhou was shocked. Given the assassination attempt on Ye Jingqing and the incidents pointing to the Leng Family, it is Mu Nianbai’s time to prove his competency as a new officer. If not the Leng Family, then who else?
Seeing the WeChat message from Mu Nianbai, Tang Zhou exploded with enthusiasm, “You wrote a report letter, exposing your own family? What a fucking move. All this while I kept thinking you’ve been too weak recently, as it turns out when you step up, you casually manage to ruin your family’s empire?”
Despite Leng Chenmo’s indifference, Tang Zhou let it go. He went over, located his coat, and pulled out a card from it. He handed it to Leng Chenmo saying, “Here, take this. Spend it as you wish. If it’s not enough, simply ask for more. As a man, you should always have money on you when you’re out. Got it?”
