Chapter 131

C131 – The Monitor Was Broken

Mu Cheng signaled for her to hush.

Elina was taken aback. What was his plan? Was he not going to expose me?

“What’s going on?” Loong Xiaoyi suddenly turned around.

“I’m fine,” Mu Cheng replied calmly.

Mu Cheng remained composed and discreetly returned the ashtray to its place on the table.

Mu Cheng’s expression revealed nothing, so Loong Xiaoyi refrained from asking further. However, he glanced at Elina, who stood nearby, to gauge her reaction.

Loong Xiaoyi’s hopes were dashed; Elina was skilled in concealing her emotions. She smiled at him and inquired, “What’s happening?” Her voice remained steady, and her face exuded warmth.

Loong Xiaoyi scanned the room briefly and then said, “I’m alright.” With that, he turned to Mu Cheng and inquired, “Why are you here?”

“I came to remind you to finish work.”

Even if a leaf fell into the water, it would create ripples, yet Mu Cheng was as serene as a still pond.

Only after Mu Cheng’s reminder did Loong Xiaoyi recall the situation. He quickly checked the time and left in haste, likely to buy groceries, as his preferred supermarket had a 7:00 PM discount.

Once Loong Xiaoyi departed, Elina finally let out a sigh of relief. She had been on edge moments earlier. When Loong Xiaoyi turned around, her acting skills had thankfully deceived him.

But now wasn’t the time to focus on him.

“Can we still have Xiuxiu then?” Jia Tianxia asked anxiously.

“Even if it’s repaired, there won’t be any record of today’s events.”

“Eh? Is that so?” Jia Tianxia was left dumbfounded.

“Yes.”

Oh no! What should he do? Without evidence, the police wouldn’t take their claims seriously!

If he returned to the boss without proof, would he meet a dire fate?

Jia Tianxia shrank back at the thought of Mu Sifa’s furious demeanor, fearing for his life.

Meanwhile, Elina couldn’t contain her delight.

What an unexpected stroke of luck! She hadn’t anticipated such a fortunate turn of events.

“Thank you,” she whispered to Mu Cheng, expressing her gratitude for intervening earlier.

Mu Cheng cast a cold, silent glance at her before departing, nearly infuriating Elina.

Outside, Mu Cheng sent a message from his phone and then made his exit.
