Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Mrs. Xiao’s Identity Begins to be Exposed (2)

The tattered cloth was just what she needed for her plan.

When she mentioned this idea, Tang Qingzhong immediately agreed, "At this point, we’ve got no choice but to take a shot in the dark."

The two of them tore the large cloth into several sufficiently large strips and started writing on them with a pen.

Feeling that the pen-written text was too small to attract public attention, Gu Nuan took out her lipstick from her makeup bag and used it to write instead.

The red lipstick marks were extremely eye-catching.

The cloth strips with glaring red writing fluttered out from the rooftop in the wind. Piece by piece, they danced like ghosts in the deep black night, against the backdrop of home daylight bulbs lighting up in the residential area in the distance.

At that moment, as Tang Qingzhong witnessed this scene, he felt a lump form in his throat and said, "I didn’t tell my wife I wouldn’t be home for dinner tonight. She probably already cooked."

Gu Nuan’s nose had turned red from the cold, and she almost sneezed. Thinking of her own parents, she felt fortunate that her parents were in their rural hometown; otherwise, they would have been worried sick if they knew she hadn’t come home unexpectedly.

Worrying her family was the last thing she wanted to do. At that moment, she hadn’t realized someone was already worried about her.

As the flashy blue Audi convertible came off the West Suburb Overpass, Zang Xiaolian glanced at the time, it was almost eleven. There was nothing he could do about it, traffic in the city was congested, and he had encountered rush hour traffic, which delayed him by nearly an hour.

While turning the steering wheel, Zang Xiaolian saw Xiao Yebai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, frowning tightly, not speaking a word the entire trip.

This expression on Xiao Yebai was something Zang Xiaolian had rarely seen before. He only knew that ever since Gu Nuan had come along, Xiao Yebai displayed some expressions he had never shown before.

This woman might be changing the man in front of him, Zang Xiaolian thought involuntarily.

Moreover, Xiao Yebai’s silence indicated how severe the situation was now.

The statement from Zhan Dapeng, ’It just happened three months ago and shouldn’t happen so quickly again,’ was actually ironic. He knew that if accidents repeatedly happened at the construction site, the negative impact would be far greater than one accident.

In short, any slight disturbance, and the Mingyue project could well be ruined this time. But, what mattered more now was a human life, her safety.

When marrying her, Xiao Yebai had thought that perhaps a crisis could descend upon her head—she was, after all, his wife in the eyes of the law. And as the son of Xiao Jianming, had he ever been short of troubles in his life?

But he hadn’t expected that moment to arrive as quickly as it did, and nobody yet knew she was his wife.

"You don’t think your sister-in-law has a jinxed fate like mine, do you?"

Zang Xiaolian was startled by his words and said, "Big brother, can you please not curse?"

Xiao Yebai jumped up in a flash, "I’m not cursing your sister-in-law. I mean, just like me, she must only get stronger with battle."

The light at the intersection ahead turned from green to red. The Audi stopped within the crosswalk.

Xiao Yebai looked out the car window irritably and said, "Just drive properly—do you know where the site is?"

"I came here last time with the fourth brother," Zang Xiaolian answered.

Xiao Yebai recalled that last time, Zhan Dapeng had taken the initiative to secretly scope out Mingyue. Primarily, having heard what Xiao Yebai said, the string of accidents at Mingyue might not be so simple.

Actually, who was causing trouble at Mingyue might be unknown to the lower-level employees, but as a high-level executive like a director, he definitely knew some clues.
