Such a harsh interrogation made Shen Yaoyao pause for a moment.
Her professional instinct forced her to remain silent.
“What happened at the birthday banquet today? Why were you there too?”
“And why were you so close to Bai Jinghong?”
Chen Lin continued his interrogation.
“I wasn’t close to him!” Shen Yaoyao’s tone was very flat.
“No? Then I must be blind, right?” Chen Lin snorted coldly. “And you’ve been undercover there without bringing back any useful information. You should reflect on that.”
Chen Lin was truly furious. The humiliation he suffered today was no different from taking a public shit on the street.
He brought an expensive gift to offer his congratulations, only to be ignored. He tried to overshadow Bai Jinghong, but ended up being cursed and ridiculed.
Everyone at the scene sided with Bai Jinghong. The only one who could be considered a heavyweight was on his side, but after seeing Bai Jinghong, that person was scared like a dog.
It made him lose all face. His plan to ingratiate himself with his “Father-in-law” was shattered, he was met with disdain, and finally, Fan Ning’er cursed him out.
He was a dignified War God, slaughtering his way across foreign lands. Those who heard his name were terrified.
When had he ever suffered such humiliation!
“Hades, since I’m undercover by Bai Jinghong’s side, I will naturally perform my duty dutifully.”
“But that doesn’t mean I’ll casually let him get close to me.”
“And besides, how long have I been undercover? If I want to achieve anything, I need to at least get in touch with some core matters first!”
Chen Lin choked up, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Indeed, Shen Yaoyao had only been undercover for a short time. It was impossible for her to get useful information immediately.
And the very purpose of Shen Yaoyao’s existence included the intention to bewitch Bai Jinghong.
For example, if he encountered other troublesome characters, he could have Shen Yaoyao incite Bai Jinghong into conflict with them.
Thus, letting Bai Jinghong make a move and resolve the stumbling blocks for him.
He was a pure, natural tool. In short, wring out all of Bai Jinghong’s value, and then kill him in the end.
Therefore, during the undercover period, considering Bai Jinghong’s lecherous nature, it would be false to say he had no ideas about Shen Yaoyao. Some superficial closeness was bound to happen.
Chen Lin pondered for a moment, clenched his jaw, and said: “Fine, I was too impatient.”
“I’ll allow you some closeness with Bai Jinghong, but don’t forget, you are my woman. Your body is only for me.”
Shen Yaoyao’s elegant eyebrows furrowed slightly. She instinctively wanted to curse, and the disgust in her heart surged rapidly.
But in the end, she didn’t say more and just hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Shen Yaoyao sat on the sofa, staring blankly into space.
Not long after, a figure walked in from outside the villa, pulling Shen Yaoyao back to reality.
Bai Jinghong had returned.
A black jacket hung over his shoulder, and he carried several shopping bags in his hands.
He looked very lazy.
“Young Master Bai…” Seeing Bai Jinghong enter, Shen Yaoyao gently stood up.
Bai Jinghong gave an “Mm,” and glanced at the large pile of gift bags beside the sofa.
He couldn’t help but sneer: “From the shopping trip with my mom?”
“Mm…” A smile finally appeared on Shen Yaoyao’s face.
The displeasure Chen Lin had brought her was cast aside.
“Not bad!” Bai Jinghong walked to Shen Yaoyao’s side, directly sat on the sofa, and then lay down smoothly.
As he lay down, his head pillowed directly on Shen Yaoyao’s fair, beautiful legs.
“Yaoyao, help me massage. I’m feeling a bit listless!”
Shen Yaoyao bit her lip, but still reached out and rubbed Bai Jinghong’s temples.
At this moment, Bai Jinghong lifted his hand, and a box appeared before Shen Yaoyao.
“Young Master Bai, what’s this?”
Bai Jinghong closed his eyes and said calmly, “See for yourself!”
Shen Yaoyao, full of doubt, took it and opened it. Inside was an exceedingly beautiful jadeite bracelet.
“This…” Shen Yaoyao froze. “Is this for me?”
Bai Jinghong opened his eyes and sat straight up. “You don’t want it? I’ll throw it away then!”
“I do, why wouldn’t I!” Afraid he’d take it back, she hurriedly retreated while happily putting the bracelet on.
Bai Jinghong narrowed his eyes and looked.
Shen Yaoyao’s skin was so delicate it seemed almost translucent. Wearing the emerald green bracelet, she looked truly enchanting.
“Does it look good?” Shen Yaoyao happily shook her wrist gently at Bai Jinghong.
“It’s average!” Bai Jinghong deliberately said this.
But Shen Yaoyao was still very happy. “I think it’s extremely beautiful!”
Bai Jinghong chuckled softly, secretly thinking, “Whether she’s a killer or not, she’s still a girl at heart.”
So happy over a small gift.
He hadn’t deliberately bought this bracelet to win over Shen Yaoyao.
While accompanying Qin Chuchu shopping today, he bought one for Qin Chuchu, and then subconsciously bought another for Shen Yaoyao.
“Help me take the clothes in these bags to the laundry room.”
Shen Yaoyao didn’t respond verbally but directly picked up Bai Jinghong’s bags, then walked towards the laundry room while gently swinging her bracelet-adorned wrist.
At that moment, Shen Yaoyao’s phone, which was in the laundry room, suddenly vibrated twice.
She took it out, and her expression changed very unnaturally.
The message was from Chen Lin.
Its content read:
“Tonight, invite Bai Jinghong to go out. I will arrange for people to teach him a lesson on the way and take one of his arms as interest.”
“If this happens, many things will be handed over to you to manage, and great things can be expected.”
Shen Yaoyao stared at the message for a long time without moving.
Chen Lin didn’t know she lived with Bai Jinghong, which was why he said to let her extend the invitation.
With her invitation, Bai Jinghong would definitely go out. Whether Chen Lin’s men succeeded or not, it would have nothing to do with her.
And Chen Lin, as a War God, wouldn’t easily strike and expose his identity.
In that case, the people Chen Lin arranged must be those “Underworld Guards” that “Impermanence” brought back from abroad.
Those Underworld Guards were all members of Chen Lin’s squad, each battle-hardened. Although their realms were mostly at the “Human Rank” or “Yellow Level” martial artist…
They were all proficient with firearms.
Now that Chen Lin wanted one of Bai Jinghong’s arms, he would certainly achieve it.
Shen Yaoyao hesitated, unable to decide what to do for a moment.
And at this instant, she had already somewhat realized she was beginning to loathe this so-called War General identity.
After spending so many days with Bai Jinghong and his family, Shen Yaoyao increasingly desired to leave the organization and live a simple life.
But her mission was upon her, and the Hell Organization had also shown her kindness…
Walking out of the laundry room, Shen Yaoyao was already heavy-hearted.
When she returned to the living room and saw Bai Jinghong rubbing his forehead on the sofa, her heart couldn’t help but clench.
Although luring Bai Jinghong out wouldn’t endanger his life for now, Chen Lin wanted his arm.
That meant Bai Jinghong would be a cripple afterward.
“Yaoyao, come here. Massage for this Young Master. Damn, my head hurts a bit, probably from too much wind.”
“Ah? Oh!” Shen Yaoyao responded absentmindedly and walked over.
During the massage, Bai Jinghong naturally noticed Shen Yaoyao’s abnormality.
Because Shen Yaoyao was using a bit too much force without realizing it herself.
Regarding this, Bai Jinghong understood somewhat. It must be that fool Chen Lin, having lost face today, was pressuring Shen Yaoyao again.
But he deliberately didn’t ask, wanting to wait for Shen Yaoyao to bring it up herself, to see what trick they were trying to play.
Sure enough, after a while, Shen Yaoyao spoke.
“Young Master Bai… are you going out tonight? Are you going to the Autumn Club?”
Bai Jinghong hadn’t planned on it initially, but now it seemed he had to go.
“Yeah, go have some tea, sit for a while!”
Hearing Bai Jinghong say he was going, Shen Yaoyao’s heart skipped a beat.
Just a moment ago, she had so hoped to hear Bai Jinghong refuse.
