Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Phantom of the High-rise

"Go home?" "Yeah, come to my place." Yang Chen looked at Mo Qian Ni, her eyes shining brightly, and shyly said, "Isn't it a bit rushed? Although I know that good men like me probably only appear in one out of six billion people in this world, you don't have to rush to invite me to your place again so soon. I mean, I just went there not long ago. It's a bit embarrassing to go again so quickly. Actually, if you want to be intimate, we could just find a nice hotel. I'm very open-minded. If you prefer the outdoors, I don't mind either. Didn't ancient people use the heavens as their canopy and the earth as their bed? Besides, the cold wind blowing can add to the endurance of our battle! But going to your place is also a good choice. I just don't know if the bed in your bedroom is big enough. Your figure is quite substantial among women, and when we roll around, a small bed won't be able to handle it..."

At first, Mo Qian Ni was a little confused, but as she listened, something seemed off. Eventually, her cheeks flushed red, and through gritted teeth, she said, "Who said I wanted to sacrifice myself for you?! I said I want you to accompany me to my hometown in Sichuan Province! I hope you'll come with me to bring my mother to Zhonghai."

Yang Chen felt extremely embarrassed and muttered, "Could you please make it clear? How would I know which family you're talking about?"

"Do you understand now?" Mo Qian Ni asked impatiently.

Yang Chen nodded. He remembered that after helping Mo Qian Ni deal with her stepfather, Zhang Fugui, she mentioned bringing her mother to Zhonghai to enjoy life. He asked, puzzled, "I remember you mentioning this before, why do you suddenly want me to come with you?"

Mo Qian Ni fidgeted, blushing as she said, "Last time I talked to my mom on the phone, she said if I could bring a boyfriend for her to see, she would consider coming to Zhonghai. It won't take many days for busy things to be sorted out. I plan to go back to my hometown to bring my mom here."

Yang Chen suddenly realized. Parents always worry about their children's lifelong matters. Mo Qian Ni wasn't young anymore, so her mother naturally worried that she wouldn't find a good husband.

This problem could be both big and small. On a larger scale, if Yang Chen followed Mo Qian Ni, it would be like explicitly telling Lin Ruoxi about their relationship, and it might even mean the end of their marriage, and the friendship between two women could collapse. But on a smaller scale, considering Lin Ruoxi's personality, she probably wouldn't react much, just a cold snort would suffice.

Mo Qian Ni looked at Yang Chen anxiously. This was undoubtedly a difficult multiple-choice question.

A woman's mind is sometimes very complicated. She knew that this could lead to an irreparable situation in the future, but in the intertwining of love and friendship, she still desperately wanted to know if Yang Chen would not give up on her.

That's the sensibility of a woman.

"Since that's the case, then I'll accompany you," Yang Chen didn't think too much and agreed.

Mo Qian Ni's heart, which had been on edge, finally relaxed. She covered her mouth with the back of her hand, smiled with teary eyes, and said, "How are you going to tell Ruoxi?"

"Tell her the truth. There's nothing to hide," Yang Chen replied.

Yang Chen knew that some things couldn't be concealed forever, whether it was Mo Qian Ni, Rose, or Liu Mingyu. He couldn't keep these women, whom he considered as his beloved, hidden in the dark forever. He hadn't thought about hiding them deliberately. Perhaps reality and morality didn't allow him to have so many wives, but once a person transcends worldly constraints, he wouldn't care too much about these things.

Mo Qian Ni wiped her eyes and smiled, "There's no need to guess, I already know how Ruoxi will react."

"How will she react?" Yang Chen asked curiously.

"She will definitely agree, and then she won't inquire about our relationship at all," Mo Qian Ni said confidently.

Yang Chen frowned, "Why?"

"Because as long as she doesn't ask, you won't actively disclose it. If you don't say anything, then no matter how far our relationship develops, it will always remain undisclosed. She will always be your only legal wife, the mistress of that household. You must first consider her," Mo Qian Ni said bitterly.

Yang Chen froze, and the person holding the gun also stood still.

"It's you?!"

"Why are you here?!"

The two almost simultaneously said the same thing.

This woman was none other than the policewoman who had intersected with Yang Chen on numerous occasions and caused him quite a headache, Cai Yan.

At this moment, Cai Yan was dressed in a black leather jacket suitable for nocturnal activities, outlining her voluptuous and sexy figure vividly. Her slender waist was tied with a rope. Her jet-black short hair appeared sharp and agile in the brisk cold wind.

This scene momentarily left Yang Chen somewhat distracted.

Sometimes, a man's charm lies in having a hint of femininity, while a woman's beauty is not without a touch of masculinity, isn't it?

Cai Yan slowly lowered the gun, her face looking unfriendly as she stared at Yang Chen and asked, "You first, why are you here?"

"Today is the day when Yulei and other companies are signing contracts. I'm one of the responsible persons, so of course I'm here," Yang Chen said playfully to Cai Yan. "But Chief Cai, are you here to steal or to practice climbing glass?"

Seeing Yang Chen's demeanor, Cai Yan immediately said, "If you're fine, hurry up and leave. I have an important case to investigate. If I'm discovered, all my efforts will be in vain, and there's a danger to life. Leave now!"

Yang Chen stretched his head out of the window and looked up. The top floor of the club was brightly lit, indicating that Cai Yan intended to investigate the situation inside using this unusual method.

"Chief Cai, let me give you some friendly advice. You better come in quickly. If this rope of yours breaks, you'll fall down dozens of floors, and your bones will be ground," Yang Chen pointed to the eerie, overlooking void below.

The Emperor Building had at least fifty to sixty floors. Falling from here would turn a beauty into a "miserable woman."

"I don't need you to interfere with my affairs!" Cai Yan said impatiently.

"I'm not trying to control you. It's just that you're a friend of my wife. I have to advise you. No matter how capable you are, you're still a woman. Some tasks can be delegated to men below. By risking your own life like this, do you think it's what a leader should do? If something happens to you, how will those below you cope? This is foolish, not brave!" Yang Chen spoke frankly.

Cai Yan actually realized that her sudden assault was too reckless, but being accused by Yang Chen like this made her unwilling to admit defeat. "Whatever you say. If you obstruct me again, I'll report you for obstructing official duties!"

After saying that, Cai Yan continued to climb towards the upper floor, ignoring Yang Chen.

Yang Chen frowned, feeling somewhat annoyed. This woman truly didn't know how to appreciate kindness. He hesitated whether to let her be.

But just at this moment, at the window of the top floor's private room, the curtains were pulled aside, and a figure stepped out in front of the closed floor-to-ceiling window, grinning sinisterly and looking down at Cai Yan, who was climbing up from below!
