Chapter 266: Chapter 266 Mess
Mo Fei covered her face with one hand, grinding two rows of white teeth and staring fiercely at Dong Xiaoye. Her cold gazes were almost as terrifying as the collapse of a freezing glacier. Only until this moment did Dong Xiaoye realize that Mo Fei actually hadn’t told Liusu the whole thing. The temperature on her face rose sharply, her entire face was almost the same as a piece of soldering iron in the raging fire.
Suddenly I felt like I was going to collapse. God damn it. They all messed it up. . .
After hearing that it was a gunshot wound, Shu Tong was also dazed. She no longer dared to carry on pulling Liusu, fearing that it would cause me to fall to the ground.
Liusu stared into my eyes, holding back her tears, and asked me in a trembling voice, “Are you trying to be a hero again?”
I was speechless. . . It seemed that the women around me really liked to judge me that way…
The situation was messed up, but my heart became calm. Instead of answering Liusu, I asked Mo Fei instead, “How did you tell her?”
Mo Fei, who was looking dispiritedly at me and Liusu, heard the words, picked up the newspaper on the table, and handed it to me. She glanced at Liusu guiltily and replied in a low voice, “don’t you know that what happened in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort is already on the news?”
The headline on the front page was two lines of eye-catching characters, “Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort was ransacked by a group of gunmen, and the real estate tycoon was killed on his 80th birthday”
Dong Xiaoye and I were both at a loss for words. I had been sleeping in the hospital bed for a day, and Dong Xiaoye had been in the station for a day. Neither of us knew about the news. In fact, after thinking about it carefully, it was not a big surprise that the information would be spread so quickly. Not to mention that with Long Xiaotian’s identity, before his birthday party even started, he had already received a lot of attention from all kinds of people, there was no shortage of people in the media among the guests, right?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was also another newspaper with a similar content on the tea table. Obviously, Liusu and Shu Tong had also learned about what had happened last night from the newspaper. It seemed that I had completely underestimated the power of the media. Then I heard Mo Fei continue, “Liusu asked me what had happened last night and why I came to your flat. I said that you sprained your ankle in a fight with one of the gunmen last night in order to save me and Officer Dong, so I came to check. . . And,” Mo Fei glanced at Dong Xiaoye and said, “I guessed that you must have gone to the hospital, and there was absolutely no way that you can conceal this matter from Liusu, so I wanted to talk to you first, but I didn’t have Officer Dong’s number, and Liusu, she, she has her number. . .”
It turned out that, since I couldn’t hide it from Liusu, Mo Fei simply told a little lie to Liusu. Because Liusu had Dong Xiaoye’s contact information, so after hearing that I sprained my ankle, she would definitely call Dong Xiaoye and ask about my ankle. . .
I was very surprised. Because the excuse Mo Fei used was exactly the same as mine. From this, it could be seen that she knew me very well. She knew that even if the chance of hiding it from Liusu was very slim, I still wouldn’t let Liusu know that I had encountered a dangerous situation. . . Of course, even if Liusu knew that we were in Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort last night, and my lame leg was clear at a glance, Mo Fei still believed that I would be able to fool Liusu with the help of her lie. And the reason for it was that she knew very well that the relationship between me and Liusu had not yet developed to an extent where she would see my thighs. . .
This was really ironic enough. . . As a man, I felt like I was underestimated by Mo Fei.
However, a white lie was also a lie, and the price of a lie would not change. The more rigorous a lie was, the more difficult it was to justify it after being exposed. That was why I normally didn’t bother to lie. That was why I got my retribution at this moment. . .
Liusu knew me far better than Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye, so she understood why I lied without needing me to even explain it. She replaced Dong Xiaoye and helped me to sit down on the sofa. After taking a deep breath, she asked, “What exactly happened last night? Nan Nan, I know that you are worried that I will be worried, but you shouldn’t lie to me. You know that when you lied, your face would tell me, so you won’t be able to fool me.”
Eh? What she said was exactly the same as what Mo Fei said last night. Did I really not have the talent for lying? Why did everyone know that I was lying?
“So it was actually. . .”
Knowing that I could not conceal it anymore, I rushed to speak before Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye. I told her that I was invited by Guo Xiang to participate in Long Xiaotian’s birthday party, and then because of the conflict between Ku’er and a butler, I met Xu Heng. After I blackmailed Zhang Mingjie and Zhang Peiwen, those two brothers, Xu Heng and I formed a friendship. Then Liu Xiaosheng and Long Yifan were trying to give me a difficult time. But thanks to Mo Fei, they could not do anything to me. But it was also because of Mo Fei’s help, it was misunderstood by Dong Xiaoye. To prevent me from cheating on Liusu, she had kept her eyes on me during the birthday party. I told her everything, not daring to miss any details. Together with my wonderful story-telling skill, it made those women laugh and angry from time to time.
In fact, I only wanted to tell the beginning of the story as detailed as possible. I wanted to create an illusion that I would not conceal the facts from Liusu. Then when I mentioned that Xu Heng and other gunmen suddenly killed Long Xiaotian and kept all the guest hostages in the manor, Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye immediately noticed that I deliberately kept the part that I used my life to exchange for their lives very short.
I only said that I was trying to protect Dong Xiaoye, but I didn’t mention that Dong Xiaoye wanted to subdue the gunman first. Then Xu Heng wanted to let me go, but I gave the opportunity to Dong Xiaoye and Mo Fei. I also didn’t dare to say that the prerequisite for doing that was that one of the gunmen would kill me. . .
But even so, Liusu, this jealous girlfriend, still pinched my arms very hard a few times. . .
Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye didn’t know the specific process of how I got shot, so when I talked about this, they were as nervous as Liusu and Shu Tong. If a man did not brag in front of beautiful women, then this man must be an incomplete man. But I was a very complete man, so I bragged very hard in front of those four women.
When they heard that I managed to subdue Xu Heng when I was shot, the four women clapped their hands while also having lingering fears. When they heard that I saw through Xu Heng’s lie and shot his shoulder, they all looked at me with admiration in their eyes, making me feel elated.
What had happened to Xu Heng made them sigh with sympathy. Although they agreed that Long Xiaotian was a scumbag, the four women had different opinions on my decision to let Xu Heng go.
Like Shu Tong, Mo Fei believed that I did the right thing. The former was purely out of compassion, while although the latter also sympathized with what had happened to Xu Heng, she felt that it was still not worth it to take such a huge risk.
Liusu and Dong Xiaoye did not agree with my decision. Dong Xiaoye was a policewoman, so it was understandable that she didn’t support me. In terms of Liusu, the reason why she didn’t support me was very simple. She simply hated the man who injured me. She wanted the man to be arrested and sent to prison. . .
“Why are you so dumb?” Liusu sighed, “So what if you can get the remote control? No one will thank you at all, Nan Nan, you must stop being a stupid good guy. You are not allowed to do such dangerous things next time. Do you understand me? I thought you always wanted to be a low-key person.”
With the lingering fear in her mind, Liusu said to me in a warning tone. but the happy expression on her face clearly showed that she was proud of what I did.
Sitting on the tea table, Dong Xiaoye also said, “Yes, I absolutely support what Liusu said. You definitely look down on the police force. Little Chu, you won’t be so lucky every time. So don’t try to be a hero next time.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough Mo Fei didn’t say anything, her expression already represented everything. She agreed with Liusu and Dong Xiaoye’s words.
They had clearly overestimated my ability too much. Maybe they thought that I was very brave, but in fact, only I knew the timidity and cowardice in my heart. Trying to be a hero? No, it was just that the situation forced me to take up this role. If I could choose, I also wanted to hide my face in the sand like an ostrich.
If Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye were not by my side at the time, I would have definitely been the most low-key ostrich. From this, it was obvious that I was not a hero, but a selfish ordinary person.
“Do you think this is a movie theater? Do you think that kind of blockbuster movie plot often appears in real life? Haha, don’t worry, that kind of thing will not happen to me again. If I had that kind of luck, I’d have already won a lottery.”
The four women couldn’t help but smile, this kind of thing was indeed very unlikely to happen again. They also felt that they were being too paranoid.
All of sudden, Shu Tong’s smile froze. Realizing she shouldn’t be smiling at me, she immediately pulled a straight face and said to me provokingly, “Rascal, what you said made you look like a hero, but I will not be fooled by you. If you were so brave last night, and it was you who took the remote control, why didn’t they mention a word about you in the newspaper?”
How would I know why they didn’t mention it in the newspaper? Although I was also dissatisfied with it, at the same time, I also felt lucky that they didn’t mention it. Otherwise, if the whole world knew about what I did last night, my life would become a complete mess. Compared to Shu Tong’s confusion, I cared more about what she called me . .
Rascal? How was I a rascal?
Liusu also frowned, not suspecting me, but just puzzled, “It’s very strange. The newspaper only said that three people were killed on the spot, two people were arrested, and one person escaped. They didn’t mention that the person who escaped was the leader, nor did they mention how he escaped. It is as if they wanted to deliberately remove everything that is related to Nan Nan. . .”
“Xu Heng’s identity as the leader can be confirmed by no other people except his accomplices. The two men arrested have not yet been interrogated. Therefore, it is normal for the media not to mention it. Apart from a few people, currently, only the police know Xu Heng’s identity and his motives for committing the crime, and this inside information. . .”
Dong Xiaoye first answered Liusu’s question, then stared at me, feeling a little bit annoyed, and sneered, “It’s all from Little Chu. We believe him, but the police still need evidence to verify and confirm the information. Therefore, that information will not be disclosed to the media at the moment. As for why Little Chu is not mentioned in the newspaper… . .”
Mo Fei sneered in disdain, and then said in a sarcastic tone, “It’s not that they don’t want to mention it, but they can’t mention it.”
