His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 637

Chapter 637: ANGRY ZHONG FENG

The following morning, Wang Che got a call from Oren when he and Shun were having breakfast with Hu Lei and Zhong Feng. He frowned before excusing himself from the table and went out to the porch to answer the call.

“What is wrong?” He asked with some annoyance.

“No ‘good morning’ for me? Did you have a bad night?” Oren asked cheekily.

‘It was a good night.’ Wang Che thought to himself with self-satisfaction. Even his lips formed a small smile. But when he started talking to Oren, his voice was still calm, even slightly annoyed.

“If you do not have anything important to say, we can talk later.” Wang Che said.

“Ooooh, so it was a very good night. Does that mean that the Little Boss will be returning?” Oren asked with burning curiosity.

“Little Boss?” Wang Che asked.

.....

Oren cleared his throat. “Well, we figured since you are the Big Boss, we needed another title. It is quite clever, right?”

Wang Che snorted. “You barely made an effort in thinking about it. What do you have to say? I am busy.”

Oren, on the other side of the line, felt like huffing. However, he did not do it. He was more satisfied with knowing the real reason than the people working for Wang Che called Shun Little Boss. While Shun was living in that villa, they realised that he was the real boss.

He seemed harmless and always happy, but Wang Che did not dare boss him around. As long as he was around, Wang Che did not do anything but try to make him comfortable. It was obvious who had more authority.

“I was planning on telling you last night, but you hightailed out of here like the hounds of hell were after you. I managed to find some information about the two people who caused the accident and were found dead.” Oren said.

“Who sent them?”

“According to the information I have, they had some ties to the Triad. However, they turned into thugs for hire at some point. The most interesting part is that their base of operations is in a club your little brother owns in the downtown.” Oren finished.

Wang Che frowned. “Wang Ning owns a club?”

“It was not easy finding out this information. From the outside, your brother does not have any business, and his income comes from his sports endorsements and bets. But in the shadows, he has a significant number of clubs.” Oren said.

“He must know some people because I have never seen such a complex structure of shell companies. I had to call in a favour for someone to find out the real owner of that club. I think he has everyone fooled with that casual and careless attitude.” Oren added.

Wang Che remembered how Wang Ning behaved the previous day. He had a light-hearted expression and talked to him like they were good brothers. He was someone capable of wearing a mask without conscience.

“Alright. Thank you.” Wang Che said.

“What are you going to do?” Oren asked with some apprehension.

“Do not worry. I am not going to anything rash.” Wang Che said before hanging up.

Oren, on the other side, sighed. He was worried. Wang Che was usually calm and collected, but he had seen first-hand that the man could sometimes be irrational, especially when someone he cared about was involved.

But again, that irrationality was the reason he was able to save them from that madman and certain death.

Wang Che went back to the living room and found all the eyes on him. He sat down calmly. He intended to deal with Wang Ning in person and alone. He would prefer not to involve Shun, and it was not the other two’s business.

He took a sip from his cup of almost cold coffee.

“So, what are you going to do about Wang Ning?” Hu Lei asked, looking keenly at Wang Che.

Wang Che choked on his cup of coffee and coughed continuously to get rid of the irritation. He could not believe that Hu Lei could hear his conversation. He was quite far away, and he knew he was not in her line of sight. She did not follow him.

When he caught his breath, he looked at Hu Lei with some hesitation and a bit of caution.

“What are you?” He asked almost involuntarily.

Zhong Feng put his knife and forks down on his plate loudly. The sound was grating, but the look he gave Wang Che was even more terrifying. Anyone who knew Zhong Feng understood that he was cold, but he was not someone who got angry easily.

But when his wife was involved, he could become a monster.

Shun was also a little frightened by the sudden reaction from Zhong Feng. It was not that he had never seen Zhong Feng angry, even angrier. It was just that it had been a while since he met with the scary side of Zhong Feng.

Over the years, Zhong Feng had mellowed out. But Shun had seen him during most of the phases. He met Zhong Feng just before Zhong Feng met with Hu Lei. He also saw what happened to Zhong Feng when Hu Lei was missing, and it seemed there was no hope of finding her again.

And he saw the happiness that had enveloped Zhong Feng after Hu Lei returned. He had changed slowly from a cold man capable of the worst to a sedate family man. The change almost made Shun forget that Zhong Feng could be that scary.

“He did not mean it in a bad way.” Shun jumped in to defend Wang Che.

Zhong Feng looked at Shun with piercing eyes, causing him to shrink back a little. Then, he turned back to Wang Che, who realised that he had crossed a line by asking the question in that way.

“I am sorry.” Wang Che said. “I did not mean to be rude. I was just a little surprised.”

Hu Lei smiled before reaching a hand to touch Zhong Feng’s arm. The simple touch seemed to have a calming effect on Zhong Feng. He was still very unhappy with Wang Che, but he did not want to go against Hu Lei’s choice to end things peacefully.

“To answer your question, I am something that goes bump in the night.” Hu Lei said with a smile. “And as Shun told you, I am worse than you can imagine. But we are all friends here, so I will not take your shock personally.”

Zhong Feng looked at Shun because he did not know what Hu Lei was talking about. He did not like it when anyone even looked at his Xiao Lei in the wrong way. Shun shrank back again, but he was thinking that he was totally right.

Hu Lei was scarier than he thought.

“Ah-Feng, do not be so serious.” Hu Lei turned to Zhong Feng and poked his arm with a small painful finger. “You cannot stop people from thinking and saying whatever they want. Relax.”

Zhong Feng was still sullen. “I have been toying with developing an application that controls people’s brain through Bluetooth.”

Hu Lei burst out laughing. “I look forward to testing it out first. I want to liven those tea parties I go to with your mother are getting more boring by the day. Would it kill them to serve mimosas and maybe a slice of good cake?”

“You do not have to go. I have told you a thousand times.” Zhong Feng looked at Hu Lei.

“I know. But you know me and your mother are getting along more and more. She also finds the so-called parties boring, so she dishes out the latest gossip between sips of that horrible tea. The things I now know...” Hu Lei shuddered dramatically.

“I find that disturbing.” Zhong Feng said.

“That is why I did not tell you. We decided to be friends instead of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She does not expect me to behave like a good daughter-in-law anymore. But she is my friend now, so I have to be a good one, at least in public. What a quandary!” Hu Lei turned back to Wang Che. “Anyway, about Wang Ning?”

Wang Che thought he had escaped from the questioning, but he discovered it was only a temporary reprieve. He thought about the situation and sighed.

“I asked my father to look into the culprit in exchange for investing in the Wang business. I am waiting to see what he will do. I gave him a week to find which of my brothers did it. I want to see who he will present and his explanation.” Wang Che said.

Hu Lei nodded. “Do you think Wang Ning did it?”

“The evidence against him is quite damning, and he has hidden too many things. I plan to investigate a little more, but I would not be surprised if I found more evidence against him. But I do not think my elder brother is innocent either.” Wang Che said thoughtfully.

Hu Lei nodded again before resuming eating her fruit salad.
