Chapter 777: Who Is That?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There was a moment when no one was saying anything. The partner was just sitting still, keeping quiet because Ou Ming picked up the phonecall.
Yu Lili noticed the quietness on the other side of the phone and she finally couldn’t hold the tears and started to sob gently. It was obvious for Ou Ming to take a guess who it was, but it still made him feel bad when he heard the voice.
It is her. She is here for him after all.
Yu Lili had walked into a dead end with loads of debt. And she was here for him again, for money, the filthy money. A couple of hundred thousands of dollars was just some change for him, but that was enough money to drive her, his babe from the past, to the edge.
How ridiculous is that.
Ou Ming made fists with his hands. There were layers upon layers of unexplainable complications hidden in his dark brown eyes, his thoughts were obscure. He opened his mouth after a while and asked, “Who is this?”
Some cold, distanced words were like a cold arrow that stabbed into Yu Lili’s heart. She shivered and hung up the phone. The length of the call was one minute and 33 seconds. It felt like it had been several centuries to Yu Lili even though it was only a fleeting moment. The moment felt distant and alien.
After taking a deep breath, she called the cops.
–
Listening to the busy tone from the other side of the phone, Ou Ming’s dark brown eyes seemed to get dimmer, like they were covered by rocks and sand. There was hardly any emotion visible from him.
She didn’t say a thing.
After he stared at the strange number for a while, Ou Ming created a new contact, noted with the name ‘b***h’.
“If there are no issues with our cooperation, let’s sign the contract, Ou Ming. We are looking forward to a cordial working relationship with you.”
Ou Ming put his phone away, beaming with a polite smile on his face, but not in his eyes. He started looking through the contract, one page after another with a dazed mind. He finally gave up reading through it with patience and signed his name on the contract.
“I have some emergencies to deal with so I have to go. Zhou, show our best hospitality to Mr. Wang.” Ou Ming stood up, he was muscular and tall and there was a sense of pressure coming from him.
“Yes.”
Ou Ming marched out of the room and drew out his phone, dialed Di Du branch manager’s telephone number, and said, “Find out Yu Li’li’s status.”
Xu Cheng did a double take and asked, “Now?”
“Yeah.”
“OK.”
...
Cops dropped by the apartment, skimmed through the room and declared it as malicious property damage.
They discovered Zuo An’s people were completely covered with full-body disguises from the footage. There was no way to recognize their faces. They wore hats and were not from the neighbourhood, also they snuck in when the security staff were distracted.
Yu Lili was very confident that it had something to do with either Li De or his wife. Cops followed the lead overnight and took Yu Lili to the hospital to meet the two people of interest.
Li De was having dinner with his wife. After fully understanding Yu Lili’s situation, the wife sneered at her, “It seems like someone stood up for me and paid you revenge for the sake of justice, or, you didn’t just seduce my husband, someone else was mad at you too?”
Yu Lili was furious and mocked, “You believe that you are doing it flawlessly? I can’t think of anyone else who would want to pay me back. It’s your own damn fault you cannot be pretty, and ugly people just cause trouble.”
Mrs. Li was extremely pissed off and screamed, “You b***h, don’t push my buttons!”
“B***h say what?” Yu Li’li glanced at her. “You wrecked my apartment, my pictures, my laptop, you even stole my diary...” The more she accused Mrs. Li the more her voice trembled, and she glared at her shouting, “Give my belongings back!”
