Chapter 324 You'sre lying

"Hutong, it's like this!" On the other end of the line, he continued, "You have a black card which has not been used for more than four years, but this morning, you had spent a lot of money at Zhuo Merchant Shop. We are committed to the principle of serving our customers and protecting their interests, so we want to confirm with you, is this black card yours to spend?

"…"

After he finished the call, Huo Chang Yuan kept the phone in his hand.

He tapped his finger on the screen as he pondered over the contents of the call.

Standing on his feet, the high-backed chair faced the French windows. The magnificent sunset seeped in from the outside, and a lot of it got into his eyes. He had to slightly narrow his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Huo Chang Yuan turned back to his phone and picked it up again.

He found a number and dialed it. Then, he asked in a low voice, "Where is it?"

"I'm at home …"

Inside the apartment building, Lin Wan Bai looked at the hung up the phone with a blank expression.

Because there was an interview in the afternoon, after finishing her shopping and eating with the little bun, Uncle Li took it away. She had just entered the house with the pen and electricity not long ago and had just finished talking with Sang Xiao Yu.

Before he could put down his phone, Huo Chang Yuan's number immediately followed.

He didn't even ask her where she was at the start of the conversation. He was simply baffled when he saw that she was hung up without a word after answering his question.

Lin Wan Bai pursed his lips for a moment, then threw his phone onto the sofa and walked to the kitchen. He went to the fridge and looked around to see what he had to eat tonight.

He took out two eggs and the leftover rice from the night before, just in time to cook the Egg Fried Rice.

However, just as he was about to turn on the torchlight and sit down, he heard someone knocking on his door.

Lin Wan Bai immediately turned off the fire and quickly ran towards the Profound Entrance.

He looked through the peephole and saw the contours of Huo Chang Yuan's face. He was frowning slightly, not knowing what Huo Chang Yuan wanted, after calculating the time, if her estimations were correct, he probably drove over after hanging up the phone.

"Open the door!"

As if he knew that she was inside, his calm voice sounded.

Lin Wan Bai swallowed his saliva, and no longer dawdled as he opened the door from the inside, "Uh, Huo Chang Yuan, you come …"

Before she could even finish speaking, Huo Chang Yuan had already walked in with big strides. He immediately took off his shoes and walked in barefooted, but after entering the living room, he did not sit down. Instead, he turned back around without any warning.

As Lin Wan Bai followed behind, he was caught off guard and almost bumped into it.

There was no tie, and two more cuts on the collar of his shirt were undone. He looked up and saw his protruding Adam's apple.

"..." Are you here for something? " she asked, pursing her lips.

Huo Chang Yuan folded his pockets and spoke as if he was chatting with others, "Aunt Li told me that you brought Dou Dou out for a stroll today?"

"Yes." Lin Wan Bai nodded.

He still didn't understand the purpose of his visit. The manner in which he had just entered the door was obviously one of menace.

Huo Chang Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked down at her from above, then continued, "About an hour ago, I received a call from the bank saying that someone swiped my black card."

"Is that so …" Lin Wan Bai's heart jumped.

"Lin Wan Bai, I really wonder, why is my black card with you?" Huo Chang Yuan took a hand out from his pocket and rubbed his chin, just as he said he would, extremely distressed.

It was because the amount had exceeded her expectations that she had no choice but to swipe her card. She didn't expect him to actually know about it.

Just now, she even thought that he wouldn't know it was her. However, after hearing his question, she knew that she couldn't avoid this topic. Her hands began to sweat nervously.

The pair of deep eyes were staring at her the entire time, and her spine was tensed up.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Wan Bai stuttered, "Uh, I picked it up..."

"You picked it up?" Huo Chang Yuan squinted his eyes.

"That's right …" Lin Wan Bai nodded, and followed through with the nonsense he just made up and continued to speak, his words were vague, "What a coincidence, I picked it up! He brought Dou Dou out to buy clothes today, but didn't bring enough money, so he swiped the card. Since he was going to buy clothes for your son, you probably wouldn't mind, right? "I'll return it to you right now …"

With that, she took the opportunity to slip away.

However, his wish did not come true. Huo Chang Yuan stepped forward first, and questioned him with a focused voice: "When did you pick it up?"

"…" Lin Wan Bai's eyes were filled with panic.

"Where did you find it?"

"Since you found it and know it's my card, why didn't you give it back to me?"

Huo Chang Yuan asked two consecutive times, and each time he asked a question, he would take an aggressive step forward. His large body was shrouded by the setting sun, and his eyes were frighteningly bright, as if he would not rest until he received an answer.

Lin Wan Bai kept retreating.

"You …" She was barely able to hold on and confront him, her eyelashes trembling. "You asked so many questions in one breath, how would I know which to answer …"

"Then answer me one by one!" Huo Chang Yuan pressed his very hard.

Lin Wan Bai was already short of breath, and was in a state of confusion. "I've already told you my answer, it was I who picked it up …"

"Lies!"

Huo Chang Yuan suddenly shouted.

Lin Wan Bai kept licking his lips, "..."

Huo Chang Yuan still continued to stride forward, forcing her to lean against the wall while taking a few steps back. Both of his hands suddenly grabbed her shoulders, with a force that felt like he could lift her up in the next second.

"You have my black card, and you call my aunt Aunt as well. She is also very familiar with Jiang Fang, and practically everyone close to me is no stranger to you …"

All the signs were filled with too many questions. Although her answers were always very reasonable, she still planted a seed of doubt in her heart.

Huo Chang Yuan paused here for two seconds, his deep eyes squinted, and his muscles of jaw all burst out, he asked word by word, "Lin Wan Bai, I'll ask you one last time, do we know each other or not!"

"..." "No, I don't!" Lin Wan Bai shook his head stiffly.

Huo Chang Yuan's pupils constricted. This was the second time he repeated this, and his tone was still as confident as before. "You're lying!"

The big hands on his shoulders were as tight as iron. At this moment, his face was so tense that it was filled with insolence, as if he could eat her at any time.

Just as he was about to be stared at as he did not know what to do, the phone suddenly vibrated.

"Weng, weng —"

It came from Huo Chang Yuan's pocket.

Lin Wan Bai looked like he had found his savior, "Your phone is ringing …"

Seeing that he wasn't moved by her words and didn't have any intention of accepting them, she tried to persuade him, "I've already called twice. Who knows, it might be something important …"

He might even be someone important.

She swallowed the last half of her words.

Huo Chang Yuan frowned for two seconds. The phone was indeed still vibrating, half of his leg was still trembling, and with his previous experience of dodging, he only let go of one of his hands and took out her phone.

Lin Wan Bai continued to stick close to the wall, unable to move at all.

He placed the phone by his ear, picked it up, and looked at her. His thin lips moved as he said to the other end of the line, "No, she's with me now."

Lin Wan Bai frowned, feeling that something was amiss.

The reception was very good. Although their bodies were almost touching, they didn't hear anything from the other side. However, when he replied, he was probably talking about himself.

She secretly panted and took the opportunity to quickly calm herself down.

Just as she took two deep breaths, something was said on the other end of the line, causing the grips on her shoulders to loosen. Huo Chang Yuan's expression changed greatly, "Aunt Li, what did you say?
