Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 322 Distance

Chapter 322: Chapter 322 Distance

Royal Club.

In the messy hall, Yin Hehe sat emotionless on the sofa while Cheng Chi stepped on the wailing young master of the Duan Family beneath his feet.

"Madam, the police have surrounded us outside!"

After waiting for about four or five minutes, finally, someone ran over with some unwelcome news.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Chi’s face immediately darkened.

"Madam?"

"No need to panic. These matters, Xiahou Yi will handle for us. As for that useless old bastard, all we need to do now is wait for news from the Duan Family!"

Yin Hehe cursed Xiahou Yi unceremoniously.

As expected, about ten minutes later, the police, who had already rushed over upon hearing the news, withdrew one after the other.

Instead, an olive green jeep arrived at the entrance. When the old man who got out of the jeep saw a person hanging naked from the wall of the top floor of the club, his face turned green with rage!

This damn girl, he must thrash her to death!

Xiahou Yi stormed in, furious.

Just then, in the hall, Yin Hehe also received news from the Duan Family.

"Hello?"

She held her phone, her expression still very cold.

On the other end of the phone, Duan Yongning couldn’t contain his anger.

"Yin Hehe, our Duan Family truly had no hand in your husband’s disappearance. However, I can tell you that Shen Nanming indeed had plans to avenge his wife!"

Finally, Duan Yongning revealed something.

Yin Hehe, upon hearing this, immediately stood up from the sofa.

"Tell me more!" she demanded, her tone extremely icy and sharp.

Duan Yongning: "Haven’t you recently found new fatal evidence on his wife’s body? If so, he feels his wife died in vain and is certainly furious!"

This man spoke very bluntly.

Probably, the Duan Family’s relationship with the Shen Family was purely for mutual benefit, or perhaps, he was too simple-minded to realize that there were certain things that should not be said.

A gleam flashed in Yin Hehe’s eyes.

"So, do you know what his plan is, or where he’s going to strike?"

"I don’t know that, but since I’ve told you this much, don’t you think it’s clear who’s at fault and whom you should hold accountable? Shouldn’t you go to the Shen Family?"

Duan Yongning said again, angrily.

Yin Hehe raised an eyebrow.

She, of course, understood this principle, but she had hoped to pry a bit more information from him.

Yin Hehe then signaled Cheng Chi to let go of his foot, ready to throw the young Duan Family master out.

Just then, Xiahou Yi came in and saw the scene, his forehead veins popping with anger!

"Yin Hehe, what the hell are you doing? This is the capital, who gave you permission to act so recklessly?"

He lunged forward in a fury and roared at Yin Hehe.

Seeing this, Cheng Chi immediately stepped in front of Yin Hehe.

Xiahou Yi: "..."

In an instant, the old man’s eyes blazed with anger as he glared at the hostile crowd gathered in the hall, waiting for him.

At the critical moment, it was Yin Hehe who pushed Cheng Chi aside.

"If I don’t act recklessly, can I expect anything from you?"

"You—"

"Xiahou Yi, I’ve always thought of you as a formidable figure; everyone in the imperial city bows to your power. But now it seems I’ve overestimated you," said Yin Hehe, her final words giving no face to the old man at all; she outright berated him.

Xiahou Yi’s fingers creaked with rage.

If he hadn’t been forcibly holding himself back, he might have struck out!

In his long life, no one had ever dared to speak to him like that.

"So, you think causing such a scene is going to rescue anyone? Do you believe Shen Weihuai is currently hiding at home, laughing? Sheng Siyuan is a madman, and his wife too. What a golden opportunity for Shen Weihuai!"

"..."

"He finally has a reason to incite the world, claiming that my Xiahou Family is filled with lunatics. When my reputation, Xiahou Yi, plummets, and the supreme power no longer revolves around me, do you think that will be good for you?"

Unexpectedly, after the old man suppressed his rage with great restraint, he actually began to question Yin Hehe about the pros and cons this incident brought to them.

On the spot, Yin Hehe was silenced.

Not having grown up at the center of power, she wasn’t so sensitive to these matters. She only knew to start from historical experience: What methods were most effective? What could make the adversary hand over the person the fastest?

So, she really hadn’t thought that much.

"General Xiahou, our lady hasn’t thought that much. She just urgently wants to rescue our CEO; he’s been missing for over five hours now!" Cheng Chi spoke up at last, also defending Yin Hehe.

Xiahou Yi glanced at him, "Haven’t I been searching for him? I know you’re anxious, and I’m worried too, but Shen Weihuai, that old fox, isn’t so easily fooled. Look how long you’ve been hanging around; has he shown any reaction?"

Cheng Chi: "..."

Xiahou Yi: "Let me tell you, people like him, for the sake of power, will never take anyone seriously, be it his son or his family. His wife is the best proof!"

"..."

Another silence fell over the scene.

After realizing her mistake, Yin Hehe’s face, initially pale, became even whiter.

"Alright, you don’t need to worry. Although we can’t find him right now, we can be sure that he’s not in danger. Shen Weihuai doesn’t have the guts to touch my son!"

Xiahou Yi had also calmed down. Seeing the woman before him looking so defeated, he reassured her again.

Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe immediately looked at him, "Really?"

"Of course it’s true. He wouldn’t dare to openly challenge me. He’s very aware that even if my power, Xiahou Yi, has somewhat declined, it would still be easy for me to wipe out the Shen Family!"

"..."

Yin Hehe said no more.

Before long, a group of people left the upscale club they had thrown into chaos; indeed, Yin Hehe noticed the old man didn’t even bother to see to the aftermath, leaving with long, steady strides.

And the police and Shen Family members who rushed to the scene thereafter, didn’t dare utter a single word of complaint.

Her heart finally settled down.

Indeed, she should not have doubted the old man, let alone be so impulsive.

Yin Hehe and Cheng Chi returned to the Xiahou Royal Mansion together.

"So what do we do now? How can we make Shen Weihuai hand over the person?"

"There’s no need to rush. I’ve already given him two departments. This is the carrot before the stick approach. If I haven’t seen him by tomorrow morning, then it will be time for the Shen Family to disappear!"

Back at the mansion, the old man washed his hands in a golden basin handed to him by the butler, then picked up some incense and lit it at the shrine.

The curling sandalwood smoke rose from his hands, matching the prayer beads on his wrist, making him seem like a true ascetic.

Even though he muttered the words "disappear"...

Yin Hehe felt a sudden chill, a shiver running up her spine.

That was the distance between her and the old man!
