Chapter 555: Excitement, Impatience, and Even... Reminiscence
Mo Shengxing said, “A woman’s heart is so hard to read.”
Mo Sheng Xiao agreed. “Yes, it’s true.”
As the only woman present, Mo Shengge immediately protested. “What are you saying? None of you have even seen Sister-in-law! I’m sure the sort of woman that Brother Xichen likes won’t be all that bad.”
The Mo family always had some sort of inexplicable confidence in this cousin of theirs.
Old Master Mo nodded in agreement and said, “If he can’t come so be it. Ah Chen has his schedule to manage. Let’s eat.”
“Yes!”
The juniors led Old Master Mo to the head of the table and sat down only after he had taken his seat.
Mu Xichen’s car, which was already halfway there, turned back. They were still more than an hour away from Guang City.
The man made an about turn and headed back in the opposite direction.
Li Beinian knew that, at this point, she did not have the energy to deal with the Mo Family.
She was not in the right state of mind. It wouldn’t have been worth risking leaving a bad impression on the family.
As Li Beinian cleaned up her face, she thought about how best to tell Mu Xichen this secret that would have come across like a cock-and-bull story.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a car following them closely.
It came up at a high speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had started to close in.
Li Beinian had sharp eyesight. Through the rear view mirror, she could see the person at the driver’s seat.
The other party’s windscreen was reflecting the light from the street lamps at night.
For a moment, she could vaguely make out the driver’s face.
It had the features of a typical person from Xia Nation!
Li Beinian looked at it for some time before recognizing that it was the security officer at the paper factory!
Startled, Li Beinian shouted, “Ah Chen, it’s the person from just before!”
Mu Xichen had long noticed the car behind.
His eyes flashed on hearing Li Beinian’s words.
The car behind was moving fast, and the moment he looked at it, it turned on its high beam.
At once, it obscured Mu Xichen’s vision.
However, it was clear the car was closing in on them.
Mu Xichen’s eyes darkened. “Sit tight.”
Li Beinian immediately sat upright.
At once, the military-green Hummer accelerated and sped away.
Li Beinian had expected this, but she was still shocked by the speed.
She looked at the meter. It was showing 180 kph and was still rising steadily.
Her heart rate quickened. She glanced at the rear view mirror.
The car behind them seemed to have accelerated too, and tailed closely behind.
“What does he want?” Li Beinian couldn’t figure it out.
Clearly, he had wanted her to go to the paper factory, but he didn’t show up.
Not only that, he had an accomplice fool her by pretending to be a security officer. And now, this man was following closely behind them.
What did he want?
Li Beinian felt her anger rising. She looked at the car and clenched her teeth in annoyance.
Mu Xichen glanced at her and said again, “Sit tight.”
Li Beinian pressed herself against the seat and the car drifted forward.
Her heart jumped into her throat. She felt as if she had been thrown into the air. This was followed by a strong sensation of weightlessness.
Her heart rate started to rise.
After the bend, the car behind closed in again.
Through the gaps in the light, Li Beinian clearly saw the smile on the man’s face.
Excitement, impatience, and even... reminiscence.
That look and expression were seared into her memory. Almost immediately, she blurted out, “Shi Yuanhang!”
However, Li Beinian was stunned after calling out this name.
Who was Shi Yuanhang?
