Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Invited for Tea

The Bentley stopped at Jinxiu Garden, the car door opened, and a graceful figure quickly got out from the passenger seat.

Immediately after, the driver’s door was opened, a tall figure stepped out and said to the graceful figure, "Let’s go."

Returning to this familiar apartment again, Zhuang Shuqing’s mood was already different from usual.

She followed behind Lu Jinyang, closed the door, and turned around only to bump into a sturdy and broad chest.

After a brief moment of stun, Zhuang Shuqing raised her hands to encircle his muscular waist. At that moment, she distinctly felt the hands behind her tighten more.

The two embraced silently, neither letting go of the other until the ringtone from Lu Jinyang’s phone broke the silence.

Zhuang Shuqing let go, and seeing that he was still holding her, she gently pushed him, prompting Lu Jinyang to finally let go and answer the phone.

"What’s the matter?"

Hearing his tone, Zhuang Shuqing’s heart trembled violently.

Clearly, he was angry.

She stood there, at a loss, and after a long while, not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, she clearly felt a chill emanating from his body.

"I’ll be right there."

After hanging up, Lu Jinyang looked at her, his eyes filled with complexity.

"I need to step out for a bit, go take a bath and have a good sleep."

Zhuang Shuqing didn’t ask anything, just nodded and said, "Okay."

Meanwhile, at the luxurious villa

Lu Xiao yelled into the phone: "Say that again!"

Whatever was said on the other end caused Lu Xiao’s features to twist, and he angrily threw his phone to the ground.

"Damn it!"

"Xiao, what’s happened?"

"Bang~"

The man who had just spoken was violently thrown a meter away, he grimaced in pain as he propped himself up, a bad premonition creeping over him.

Lu Xiao quickly walked over, crouched down, grabbed his collar and ground his teeth saying, "Is this the result of the job you did for me? I paid a hefty price to have someone set up surveillance, and you still let them gain leverage?"

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the man’s face went pale. He sat up in panic, "Xiao, you have to believe me, I did everything as you instructed. What exactly happened, tell me so I can see if there’s still a way to fix this."

"Xu Chang, did you hire me some second-rate hacker? They’ve already been taken in for questioning!"

He was absolutely furious!

Even though he had arranged for the task, his hands were completely clean. Even if someone were to trace it back to him, they would find no evidence to incriminate him.

However, one thing was clear, his cover was blown, and there wouldn’t be such a good opportunity next time.

"Hold on, Xiao, wait, stop hitting me, ow~"

Xu Chang felt agony—there was only so much money he received, and hiring a top-tier international expert was truly impossible.

So ultimately, it was still his fault.

Lu Xiao, panting heavily, eventually stopped from his kicking and punching spree.

Xu Chang finally got a chance to speak, "Xiao, let me go find that hacker to see if there’s still a chance to salvage this."

"Salvage my ass. I’ve already told you, that hacker... damn it, calling him a hacker is an insult; he’s already been taken in for questioning, and I doubt he’ll ever get out in this lifetime."

Lu Xiao’s words even carried a hint of relief.

Lucky he had the foresight, otherwise, he would be the one sitting in the police station now.
