Hidden Marriage

Chapter 152: Switching on Shadow Mode

Ever since Ning Xi had come back, the little bun seemed to have switched on his shadow mode . He would follow her wherever she walked, not willing to let even an inch of distance separate them .

In the living room downstairs .

Lu Jingli had also switched on his shadow mode; he was following wherever Lu Tingxiao walked .

“Bro, Brother, dear Bro… You guys… What did the two of you do the whole night?”

Lu Tingxiao hugged a cup of freshly brewed coffee and sat on the sofa: “We chatted . ”

Lu Jingli choked and looked like a disappointed puppy who hadn’t gotten a bone, “Alright, just take it as if I never asked . ”

“How is the task I entrusted to you progressing?” Lu Tingxiao asked .

Lu Jingli immediately switched back to his proper mode and spoke grimly, “It’s already in progress . Within a month, Zhu Xiangcheng’s Crown Real Estate will definitely be erased from this capital . ”

“What about Ning Xi’s matter?”

Lu Jingli tidied his hair before speaking up: “Because the production crew stopped the news from spreading, I wasn’t able to get the news in time . As for now, the one who set this whole ploy up definitely wouldn’t let the news be stifled, so it’s starting to spread on the Internet . What’s worse is that the prop director personally testified in his interview that it was Ning Xi who had bribed him to change the prop . This isn’t just a matter of public opinion now . If Ning Xueluo files a case, Ning Xi might even be taken by the police for investigation!”

An endless vicious aura rose on Lu Tingxiao’s face . It suddenly seemed like he was sitting on a great demon king’s throne made of bones instead of a plain ordinary sofa . Enunciating each word clearly in an icy tone, “I’d like to see who would dare to do so . ”

“No no no… Sister-in-law has you to support her, who would even dare to touch a single hair on her head!” Lu Jingli hurriedly tried to calm his rage before stating positively, “Bro, just rest assured . I’ve already gotten someone to install wiretaps and spy cameras in that prop director’s home . He’ll definitely try to contact the person behind this in this period of time . There’s no need to worry that we won’t be able to get any evidence . We’ll see who gets arrested in the end!”

Dissatisfaction showed on Lu Tingxiao’s expression and he tapped the side table with his finger: “Inefficient . ”

Lu Jingli couldn’t accept that and grumbled: “This method is so good, how is it inefficient!”

Lu Tingxiao brought out a gun from under the television stand, then threw it in front of him .

The corner of Lu Jingli’s mouth twitched, “Damn! Isn’t this too simple and violent! There’s no skill in this method!”

As the two were speaking, footsteps sounded from above them .

Without a change in expression, Lu Tingxiao placed the gun back and looked up with a gentle gaze at the newcomer, “Did Little Treasure fall asleep?”

“Yes, I finally got him to sleep!” After replying, Ning Xi hurriedly said with an anxious expression, “Uh, Lu Tingxiao, I have some urgent business and I need to go out for a while . I’ve already left a note for Little Treasure and I charged my phone . You can contact me at any time . I’ll come back in three hours at the max! Alright, I won’t say anymore, bye!”

After saying so, she flew like the breeze and left .

Lu Jingli rubbed his chin, “Bro, where’s Sister-in-law going in such a rush?”

Lu Tingxiao stared in the direction the girl had left with an inscrutable gaze before urging Lu Jingli, “Find someone to follow her . ”

There was definitely something complicated behind this, since Ning Xi had left at this kind of time . If it wasn’t good for Little Treasure to be left alone at home, he would definitely have gone himself .

“There’s no need to find someone else, I’ll go myself!” Lu Jingli cheerfully accepted the mission on the spot .

Lu Jingli returned home to pick out a more low-key black car, then followed closely behind Ning Xi, who was driving on the roads like a hurricane on her motorbike .

After twenty minutes, he stopped at the small apartment that Ning Xi used to live in . While monitoring the movements in the area, he reported the situation to Lu Tingxiao in real-time .
