Li Xue almost wanted to pull all her hair out. This was already her nth time of racking her brain to guess the passwords that the old scoundrel must have set for his laptop. However, she thought, she was just not able to think anything above his d*ck. After all, was there even anything apart from that in his perverted, unscrupulous character?
Pressing her lips, she stared at the opening screen of the laptop that was waiting for the password to enter. It was already the last attempt left to try and she was no longer confident in her brains. She could sense the eyes of the man on herself, looking all amusedly at her but she was too embarrassed to match his gaze.
What exactly she was thinking when she took away the laptop from that corrupt person, even without asking his password or even without checking if he was telling the truth about the evidence. Wasn't she a true dumbhead? Her over nervous hormones took her hard, making her forget the essentials at that time. Geez, now she was so embarrassed.
"Is there a problem? It's already late. How long are you going to stay awake?" Feng Shufen stared at the woman, leisurely leaning his head on his hands.
Li Xue's lips pursed as she gave a small cough, before saying, "There seems to be a problem, Mr Beelzebub. Do you have any way to help?"
The man could not help but chuckle at her demeanour. She looked like a cute, adorable kitten who has finally returned to its master to seek his help. "Did you believe in your enemies this much? You didn't check his words and just accepted whatever he said?"
Li Xue shook her head. "No, I am never like that. It's just this evidence was not in my plans and I was in a little hurry to come home and prepare some delicious dinner for my husband and daughter" She said, knowing well that her words were enough to make the man wordless and help her dodge her embarrassment.
"What if this laptop doesn't have anything useful for you? Will it make you disappointed?" Feng Shufen stared at her. At this moment of time, he didn't care about any evidence rather what he fears were seeing her losing hope, yet again. He could see how happy she was knowing that apart from confession, there was also something else to support the voice clip.
The woman's smile did not falter, rather it remained the same as she said, "Haha … do you think I am that weak strength kind of person? Definitely not! It won't stress me out as this evidence has never been on my list of plans. But yeah, I am not going to leave that hoodwink for wasting our efforts. I will go and definitely feed him the poison this time".
"But for that, I think we need to first check this laptop, even less than 1%, there still seems a chance to get something useful inside. Do you think there is any way to trace the passwords out and then open it?" She asked, blinking her eyes all expectantly at the man. She has the ways but for that, she needed to wait for the next morning. And she does not want to wait that long. She just wanted to dive in the laptop straight at the time.
The man looked at her, confirming her thoughts and words. Since she takes this evidence as a secondary helper, he was relieved. "Let me see it first!" He said.
And Li Xue's brows scrunched a little in confusion. "Huh? You are going to check it. Do you know these things?"
Feng Shufen's brows raised together. "Are you …"
Before he could even finish, Li Xue jumped in, shaking her head. "Definitely not! I would never dare to doubt my husband's skills and qualities. How could I dare that? I was fawning over the fact that you even know this! Whoa! Impeccable! So Great!"
The man shook his head at her over-exaggeration, before shifting to her side to look at the laptop. Li Xue shifted more to the side to give the man some space. But the more she shifted the more the man moved along her. She turned to look at the man to ask about his action. Was he playing some game with her? But when saw how serious he looked, she thought to be overthinking.
"Umm … How long will it take?" She asked curiously when saw the man leisurely looking at the laptop for some time.
"I have to see," He said, suddenly getting up. "You can sleep. I will work on it in the study. Once it is done, you can check it in the morning."
Li Xue immediately shook her head. "How can that be? I will accompany you. I won't let you work alone while I sleep. Come, let's go to study together". She said before grabbing the man's arms and pulling him out of the room and in the direction of the study room. Though she was not depending too much on the evidence in the laptop, she was still hoping that it could be something substantial.
Feng Shufen did not say much to her and let her do whatever she wanted. How could he even push her away from him when she was clinging onto him first? Wasn't seeing her like this was a too pleasurable temptation to be missed.

On the other side of the city.
Zhen Qinrou slipped out of the room when saw her husband asleep. Something seemed different in his attitude these days but she didn't mind him, thinking that it might be some stress coming due to the complicated love life of his son.
Getting to the safest corner of the house, much away from her bedroom, she called a number straightforward. Just after a few rings, the call was received on the other end. She knew even at the wee hours, if she called him, the man would never hesitate to give her the priority.
"Hello!" She greeted, hearing the man affirming on the other side of the call. "I am just calling you to ask if you have started working on the things, I have asked you or are you still deciding between me and your fear?"
