The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 365 Handsome Man Color3_1
Liu Daqing listened, then replied in a detached tone, "Donglin, didn’t you promise me a mysterious gift for next year’s festival?"
"Don’t rush! It’s only the third month of spring. As the saying goes, ’fireworks in March in Yangzhou,’ so there’s still a long time until the New Year. Besides, I’ve never lied to you, right?"
"Donglin, you need to be careful. At this juncture, we cannot afford even a single misstep."
"Mom, don’t worry. I know how to handle things."
Liu Daqing sighed deeply. A mother can’t control her grown offspring. In her view, her son should go to Ruo City immediately, but she didn’t want to force him.
At that moment, Wan Donglin was looking at an account on his computer. It displayed the latest hedge fund data. In the past half-month, he had found some accounts to be very strange, and he couldn’t find any record of them in the related documentation. These were all large cash accounts with unclear sources of funds. Moreover, during some clear economic downturns, they had surprisingly continued to surge. Having worked in this industry for so long, he had only seen such data once before, and that instance had quickly led to a financial tsunami. This was the real reason he had stayed. Although there’s no evidence, my intuition tells me someone has tampered with these strange accounts. Or rather, the identities of the owners behind these peculiar cash accounts are highly suspicious.
After a while, he accessed another system. Inside, there was an even more peculiar account, with an astonishingly large sum of money.
He suddenly recalled the legends surrounding the Zhou Family. A chill went down his spine. Could it be that Old Zhou is really preparing to skip town?
Just then, the phone rang. He walked out onto the large terrace to answer it.
Zhou Ting’s voice was very calm, as if nothing at all had ever happened. Ever since she discovered Wan Donglin’s "violent tendencies," she had avoided contacting him privately. After all, she instinctively recoiled from him and truly didn’t want to get entangled with a man who had such a disorderly lifestyle and was prone to violence. She was only calling today because she truly felt she had no other choice.
"Donglin, are you free right now?"
"I have a meeting tonight. Before that, I have half an hour free."
"Half an hour isn’t enough. Are you free tomorrow?"
He laughed. "Do you need something? If it’s urgent, you can tell me now."
"It’s not convenient to discuss over the phone. How about this: I’ll wait for you at the same old place tomorrow at 2 PM. Alright, I won’t disturb you any longer then." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
What does Zhou Ting want to talk about this time? he wondered. With an attitude like that, it’s clearly not a sign she wants to get back together, let alone propose.
As he thought about those strange accounts he had been tracking, his ominous premonition grew stronger. Mom was right. A storm is brewing; a massive upheaval is, in fact, only just beginning.
Her attempt to treat him to lunch having fallen through, the two girls went to eat skewers together. Along the way, Yan Xixi was disgruntled. Who does that guy think he is, putting on such airs? Isn’t he just some slob? Maybe he’s too ugly to show his face, right?
But Xu Xiaoya found herself liking this stranger even more. "Xixi, I think that person is really interesting. He helped you so much; if he really had ulterior motives, he’d definitely be eager to meet you as soon as possible. But he’s not showing up at all. Clearly, he’s a very cautious person and isn’t trying to get anything from you."
"Maybe he thinks that the more he acts this way, the more I’ll want to see him. Hmph! Well, I just *won’t* see him. Even if he invites me next time, I won’t go. I’m determined not to let him get his way."
PFFT! Xu Xiaoya burst out laughing.
Just then, they suddenly saw a familiar figure flash past. Xu Xiaoya paused, surprised. "Xixi, look! Who’s that person up ahead?"
