Chapter 147 – The White Moonlight is Forcibly Loved by the Substitute 45

It was an intimate gesture, filled with an unreserved doting that made Shuang Yu’s heart pound wildly. He nodded as if to cover up his reaction and hastily threw off the covers, rushing towards the bathroom.

“Yu, you fainted perhaps because of excessive indulgence? For the sake of your health, I’ll be confiscating these things,” Jingmo’s playful voice sounded from behind him.

With a whoosh, Shuang Yu’s face turned as red as a cooked shrimp. After a second of stiffness, he nodded awkwardly and dashed into the bathroom, closing the door in one smooth motion!

When he came out of the shower, all of Shuang Yu’s tools of the trade had been confiscated. Thinking of the ‘little companions’ that had been with him for so long, he felt a faint pang of regret.

“Yu, any more hidden stashes?” Jingmo asked with a smile, having packed everything up.

“Ahem, no more. What kind of person do you take me for?” Shuang Yu shot him a look. As the other man turned away in satisfaction, he quickly glanced under the bed before nonchalantly looking away again.

It looked like he was going back to the ascetic life of taking sleeping pills… The thought of the dull days ahead made him feel utterly hopeless.

[Don’t feel bad. Compared to those subpar items, isn’t the one that fits your hand best right beside you? Hehehe.]

Xiao Ai, who had been locked in the little black room, had snuck out again, offering a sinister suggestion with a laugh.

Shuang Yu’s face darkened, and he chose to treat its words as nonsense. He was a man of principle and would absolutely not act on lust!

[Youth is good! Youth means strong and vigorous, with stamina to spare!]

Xiao Ai tempted him again.

“Get lost!” Shuang Yu threw it back into the little black room without hesitation.

[Heeheehee, I’ve already cracked the little black room. This is my home now, I can come and go as I please. You can’t lock me up, my lord!]

Xiao Ai’s characteristic villainous laugh sounded again.

Shuang Yu was speechless. Perhaps, after this mission was over, he could go back and ask the relevant department about changing his System?!

Leaning on his crutches, Jingmo, having dealt with all his ‘rivals’, returned triumphantly. With a shy smile, he said, “Yu, let’s go downstairs. I’ll make you lunch.”

Downstairs, Cheng Meng was giving his opinion. “That Yandere Little Biscuit showing up in Tianning is a bit too coincidental, and he’s one of Gu Qiyan’s men. I still don’t think we should let him stay!”

“Just let him stay. He’s skilled, so he can protect Xiao Yu. I trust he won’t betray him,” Song Heng decided after careful consideration.

“Didn’t you always say you can know a person’s face but not their heart? Why do you trust him so much?” Shi Letian asked, puzzled.

“Brother, do you think Brother Song would ever hurt you?” Cheng Meng asked with a grin, having figured it out.

“N-no… Although he’s a bit of a pervert, he’s very good to me. He would even risk his life to protect me…” Shi Letian answered with a blush after some serious thought.

“Then that settles it. Perverts are all the same, so Jingmo definitely won’t hurt Brother Yu!” Cheng Meng yawned and explained lazily.

So… was this a common trait among perverts? Shi Letian’s simple mind couldn’t comprehend it!

Ding—

The elevator doors opened, and the two of them walked out.

“You go talk to Brother Heng. I’ll go cook,” Shuang Yu gestured for Jingmo to join the other three while he headed for the kitchen.

“Brother, I know how to cook. I’ll cook for you!” Jingmo said anxiously.

“Forget it. I’m not some heartless landlord. I’m not going to order you around when you’re this injured.”

Not trying to be difficult, he limped over to the three men in the living room on his crutches.

“Little Biscuit, say hi,” Cheng Meng said teasingly.

Jingmo completely ignored him, sat down on the sofa, and said, “I know the locations of several of Gu Qiyan’s illegal container points. Maybe that can help you.”

As soon as business was mentioned, everyone dropped their playful attitudes.

“Damn it, that bastard really knows how to put on an act!”

“He’s so good at keeping up appearances. He says he wants to help Brother Yu, but he does more bad things behind his back than anyone!”

“If you ask me, why bother playing games with him? Let’s just take him down!”

The three of them cursed and grumbled.

“I suspect Gu Qiyan isn’t the biggest shareholder. There’s a corporation backing him. Destroying a few container points won’t hurt their foundation, which is why I haven’t made a move yet,” Jingmo shook his head and shared his speculation.

The three of them couldn’t help but think of Ai Jing, and their brows furrowed. “If it’s really Ai Jing, then we’re in trouble… His identity isn’t something small-timers like us can easily deal with!”

Cheng Meng had already looked into this person. Ai Jing’s identity was too special. He himself was an internationally renowned philanthropist and entrepreneur. His personal assets ranked first in the world, and his father-in-law was the prime minister of D Country. If something happened to Ai Jing in F Country, it would not only cause major economic problems but could even lead to a dispute between the two countries!

But if Ai Jing didn’t fall, Gu Qiyan could continue to act with impunity…

“The best way is to make them fight amongst themselves, but the problem is how to drive a wedge between them…” Song Heng said with a slight frown.

“No rush. I’m right here in Tianning. I’ll find a chance to sow discord,” Shuang Yu, who had been listening to their conversation while cooking, said unhurriedly.

“You’re not planning to use a honeypot scheme, are you?” Cheng Meng asked, his eyes wide.

The latter just smiled, neither confirming nor denying it. The four men on the sofa frowned in unison. None of them wanted him to have any more involvement with that scumbag, not even for an act.

“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in getting back with an ex,” Shuang Yu said with a faint smile, trying to reassure them, but he didn’t tell the whole story.

As long as Gu Qiyan still had feelings for him, he would definitely use that to his advantage.

***

Meanwhile, Meng Ying anxiously sought out Gu Qiyan.

“Brother Yan, something’s happened to our container point!”

Upon hearing that, Gu Qiyan became more anxious than anyone. “What happened?!”

Mr. Ai had entrusted this business to him out of trust. If he lost Mr. Ai’s trust because of this, he would be finished!

“All the people who humiliated Si Shuang Yu have been killed. One of them was in charge of the Tangkou container point. It must have been Si Shuang Yu!” Meng Ying said with a resentful expression.

Gu Qiyan shook his head. “It wasn’t him.”

“You’re still siding with him at a time like this! If we offend Mr. Ai because of this…”

“I said, it wasn’t him!” he interrupted Meng Ying, his face dark as he made his conclusion.

He knew Si Shuang Yu. He couldn’t tolerate even a speck of dust in his eyes. If he had really discovered his involvement in such a large illegal business, he definitely wouldn’t have just destroyed one container point. Given his personality, he would have dealt with him, the mastermind, right away! After all, to catch bandits, first catch the king—that had always been Xiao Yu’s style.
