The Taming of the Ruffian Hero-Chapter 139 (Unexpectedly Meeting Again) They Met at a Crossroad but Could Not Read Each Other’s Mind

In Room 29 of the Empire State Building, a red carpet woven with golden thread was embroidered with a vital and imposing five-clawed golden dragon. Behind the dark red eaglewood desk, a man in a white suit exuding a scholarly temperament was playing with the white jade Bodhi seeds in his hand.

A young girl rushed in, pointed to this man and shouted, “Mo Qian! I’ve said it several times!” She was none other than Chen Wanxin.

“Miss Wanxin, sit down first.” Mo Qian raised his hand and motioned to Chen Wanxin to sit beside him.

“I want you to explain!” Chen Wanxin snarled.

“Zhao Yuan is a diamond in the rough who can fight and resist and has a tough personality. Is it not the right time for Moshi to use him?” Mo Qian asked with a smile.

“You still ask even when you know perfectly why!” Chen Wanxin clutched her chest with both hands and sneered without looking at Mo Qian in the eye.

“A person you like has to be screened by the Mo family first.” As Mo Qian spoke, he gently brushed a white feather pen across the carved dragon inkstone on the desktop and the feathers were instantly dyed a rich black.

“I said I don’t like it! When I go home I will tell father, he will be in charge and let Zhao Yuan marry me first!” Chen Wanxin said with a smile.

“Wanxin, do you know what is worse than killing a person?” Mo Qian asked lightly.

“If a person’s already dead, what could be worse?” Chen Wanxin said disdainfully.

“Killing the heart.” Mo Qian smiled as he spoke. “Zhao Yuan is very kind to you, isn’t he? So when you mention him, you laugh like a monkey.” Mo Qian looked at Chen Wanxin fondly. His daughter was actually almost the same age. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

Chen Wanxin nodded slightly, and there was even a hint of shyness in her eyes.

Mo Qian noticed it, and he smiled slightly. “Hehe, when a woman is in love, her IQ will be negative. I didn’t expect that even you cannot escape this law.” Mo Qian smiled gently, but then his look became ice-cold. “Why do you want me to help Wang Zhengjuan? You know perfectly well that she is the older sister of the exchange student, and they are from the same clan. However, I have sent someone to look into the matter in A city for a long time. Only the two families clung to their views that they are relatives, but none of their other relatives and friends knew that they had such a relationship. The two families happened to admit that they are relatives at this sensitive time, and it was just at this time that you cannot refuse to help Wang Zhengjuan for any reason. Have you ever wondered why?

“How long haven’t you asked Luo Yang about Lin Wenxi? Now, what we already know is that Lin Wenxi met with Lin Ziwei’s driver twice recently, but we don’t know how much information we haven’t gotten! Fortunately, Lin Wenxi should blame himself for his too gorgeous appearance. Because of that, the neighbor of the exchange student has a deep impression of Lin Wenxi. So we can know that it must be Lin Wenxi who deliberately incited the two families in A city to say that they are relatives. As for the daughter of the Wang family, we will save her, but you have to find out who the middleman between her and the family in A city is, and let her keep her mouth shut! Wanxin, your enemies have brought the battlefield to your bed. Aren’t you worried about that? Are you still preoccupied with being in love with Zhao Yuan?” Mo Qian said with a very mild tone, but the meaning of his words went sharply toward Chen Wanxin’s heart and suddenly deflated Chen Wanxin’s arrogance. She fell silent.

“You still want to be with Zhao Yuan, don’t you? My dear lady!” Mo Qian burst out laughing and patted Chen Wanxin gently on the shoulder.

Chen Wanxin bit her lower lip and nodded.

“Zhao Yuan is good to you because he wants you to lower your guard so that you will no longer be vigilant against Lin Wenxi. Ask yourself, during this period, do you know anything about Lin Wenxi?” Mo Qian’s words were so cold and like daggers that penetrated Chen Wanxin’s body.

“No, it’s not like that.” Chen Wanxin flatly denied it. She remembered that these days, Zhao Yuan never went to the last step with her in bed although he seemed to treat her wholeheartedly and honestly. So many nights, she fell asleep laying in Zhao Yuan’s arms. Quietly, she gently touched his slightly wrinkled brows in his sleep and his lips, feeling cool and warm. “But in his heart, is he really willing to do everything for Lin Wenxi?”

“More or less, there is something true. Anyway, Zhao Yuan would not disobey his deceased father,” said Chen Wanxin, lowering her eyebrows. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

“Humph! The man is with you, but in his heart, he is thinking not of another woman but about another man. Miss, where is your former pride? The previous Chen Wanxin dared to kill any god she met and dared to kill any Buddha she encountered, but now she has been melted by Zhao Yuan and has become a puddle of slime! Let me tell you that Zhao Yuan is determined to join the Mo family because he is dying to find another way to avenge Zhao Mingjiang, and he acts in a diametrically opposite way to Lin Wenxi! Therefore, only when he enters the Mo family and does what he will not usually do can he make a clean break with the past. At that time, it will be impossible for him to be with Lin Wenxi again! To rule Zhao Yuan’s heart, this is your best chance!” Mo Qian said coldly.

“When he joins the Mo family, over time, he will surely be able to figure out the connection between the Mo family and uncle Zhao’s death. How could I be with him then?” Chen Wanxin asked.

“I have my own way to keep him from finding out! Moreover, I even have a way to let him find out that it was the Lin family that did it!” Mo Qian smiled coldly.

“Zhao Yuan is smarter than you think,” Chen Wanxin said.

“Are you overestimating him or underestimating me?” Mo Qian asked.

“In any case, I disagree! I can’t let him commit murder and break the law. I can’t let him live in darkness all his life!” Chen Wanxin said sharply.

“Then you can find a way to deal with Lin Wenxi! I can make him disappear from this world or drive him out of Jifu University. Miss, either way, as long as you have the need, I can help you do it secretly and quietly. As for Zhao Yuan, I promise you that I will only give him some simple tasks. By the way, I can test his sincerity. If at that time he insists on joining the Mo family, we would rather get one more friend than make one more enemy.” Having said this, Mo Qian called someone on the phone.

“Listen, there will be no murder and arson, but instead he will go to the Wang family to observe them. As long as what he reports is real, then it will prove that he is loyal.”

“But Zhao Yuan knew it was I who let Luo Yang do things, not the Mo family! If you do so, A Yuan will know that the Mo family and I...” Chen Wanxin could not help but feel angry and anxious.

“Doesn’t he know? At that time, it was you who arranged for him to go there secretly, and you chose the Mo family to discuss the exchange student affairs with him. You have been in and out of the Mo family with him frequently recently. Would he not know? Wanxin, wake up!” Mo Qian was disappointed.

“No matter what, I won’t let him get his hands into the Mo family at all!” Chen Wanxin said firmly.

“Well, it depends on how you think,” Mo Qian said expressionlessly as he picked up the Small Town Daily and browsed the information based on the education department one by one.

Lin Wenxi learned that the Wang family of A city had information about the situation. After a brief telephone call, he decided to go there in person after school at noon, but he met Zhao Yuan unexpectedly at the school gate.

They stood silently for a long time. Lin Wenxi smelled a puff of smoke and looked up at Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan frowned deeply, smoking cigarettes one after another. In the smoke, Lin Wenxi could not see him clearly.

The cloud of smoke seemed to turn into pieces of untouchable darkness that surrounded Lin Wenxi tightly and locked him in. Lin Wenxi could see Zhao Yuan’s throat moving up and down, and his slightly opened lips that had touched Lin Wenxi gently that night and made him feel as if he was on fire. In astonishment, Lin Wenxi suddenly found that they were less than ten centimeters away from each other and Zhao Yuan’s lips seemed to have imprinted deep hickeys on Lin Wenxi’s heart. He felt that Zhao Yuan’s bushy mustache seemed to have gotten stuck on his cheeks and made Lin Wenxi’s face redden all over. In silence, both of them could hear their heavy breathing in the silence. Staring at each other, they felt as if they were so close to each other, but at the same time, they were so far away from each other. It seemed that they could not see each other clearly through a layer of a screen window.

But neither of them took a step further as if knowing that ahead was the unknown with no sunshine all day long.

At the corner of the gate, a boy opened his arms, enjoying bathing in the sunshine and the rain. Another boy hugged him tight from behind and snuggled his cheeks against the boy’s shoulders. The curtains of rain appeared and vanished in the sunshine. Though Lin Wenxi could not see their expressions clearly, he knew they must be delighted. Lin Wenxi thought, “Once upon a time, Zhao Yuan and I, we had the same happy moments. It was just that our happy moments happened at a time when everything was sunk in silken silence and when we finally got a chance to stay alone in one room.”

Lin Wenxi was sure that Zhao Yuan had seen it.

Although the sun was dim, it was still a sunny day. As the wind blew, under the warm sun, it started drizzling unexpectedly.

“It’s raining,” Zhao Yuan said.

“But there is sunshine,” Lin Wenxi said. “Is the rain laughing, or the sun crying?” Lin Wenxi’s eyes were covered with mist.

“I laughed, but you are going to cry.” Zhao Yuan gently wiped away the tears in Lin Wenxi’s eyes.

“It’s a good thing that it rains while the sun is big. It’s not cold or hot,” Lin Wenxi said expressionlessly.

“Soon, the rain will dry up. The rain is only temporary. It just came at the wrong time,” Zhao Yuan said.

“But I’d rather be baked by the sun.” Smiling, Lin Wenxi turned around and left.

By the time he arrived in A City, Lin Wenxi knew that someone had come to investigate the Wang family. The assistant who was staying with the Wang family even took pictures secretly, but the assistant could not find out who the man was.

“Stay vigilant. Every time there are suspicious people, you must take photos and send them to Uncle Hong Xuan so he can use the photos for comparison,” Lin Wenxi said. Several people nodded and said yes.

Lin Wenxi was talking about the idea that he and Hong Xuan had come up with. In the beginning, someone must have come to investigate Wang Luyao, and this person must know well about many situations in A city and may even be one of Wang Luyao’s relatives or friends.

By deliberately meddling in the matter related to Wang Zhengjuan, Lin Wenxi planned to rouse his enemies and get the attention of the Chen family. In this way, the Chen family would definitely send someone to investigate. As long as this person showed up near the place of the Wang family, Lin Wenxi could significantly reduce the scope of analysis by comparing photos. He could even identify the person who had leaked the information. Immediately after that, Lin Wenxi could follow up the clue and seize the person. Then, he could find out the relationship between the person and the murderer who was now in prison. Once Lin Wenxi confirmed that someone deliberately killed Wang Luyao, he might unearth many more unexpected clues by tracking down this clue.

It’s just that there were all kinds of people in the photos. It seemed that the Chen family was already on guard.

Lin Wenxi meditated for a while and repeatedly warned the Wang family, then went out for a walk.

Zhao Yuan went to the neighborhood of the Wang family according to the address in the short message.

The two men who had left the school separately at noon met unexpectedly once more.
