Chapter 458: Chapter 455

“Is this yours? I found it in my bag, but it’s not mine, nor is it Sister Ling’s. Other than her, I spend the most time with you.”

Lu Xiao’s gaze fell on the USB drive in the palm of her hand, his brows slightly furrowing.

He slowly picked it up and asked, “Haven’t you taken a look?”

Wen Xian spread her hands: “I did, but it’s encrypted.”

As she spoke, she slightly raised her eyebrows, seemingly with profound meaning as she looked at him, “What, is there a secret hidden inside that you’re deliberately keeping from me?”

At her words, Lu Xiao: “…”

He first shook his head helplessly, then chuckled lightly, “Yes, I am keeping it from you, it’s filled with some indescribable adult movies.”

As he spoke, his gaze was intense as he stared at her, the corners of his lips slightly lifted, adding a roguish charm to him.

Wen Xian’s face flushed slightly, deliberately glaring at him: “You dare watch them!”

She knew he was joking, yet she still reacted this way, but ultimately, she went straight to him and hugged him tightly, wrapping her arms around his neck, her cherry-red lips close to his ear, her warm breath acting like a stirring agent in the dark, teasingly provoking him bit by bit.

Her seductive voice dropped into his ear: “Lu Xiao… my body misses you… Tonight, I’ll wait for your return.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao’s body tensed slightly.

Although it was barely noticeable, Wen Xian still caught it.

In a place unseen by Wen Xian, Lu Xiao’s eyes grew deeper.

Tonight…

A complex look also flashed in Wen Xian’s eyes.

She deliberately said those words; she wanted Lu Xiao to know she was still waiting for him, he must come back safely, his delicate wife was still warming the bed for him.

When Lu Xiao looked at Wen Xian again, he gazed intently into her eyes, observing every bit of her, and then suddenly pulled her close, bending down slightly, tilting his head—

…

“Rest well, I’ll come back.”

These were the words Lu Xiao left Wen Xian with, before he left without looking back.

From the beginning to the end, he still hadn’t brought up to Wen Xian the matter he was about to undertake, because he was afraid, afraid that she would go looking for him recklessly again, just like before.

So, he would rather deceive her, than have her repeat those actions.

Perhaps it wasn’t quite deception, as he would come back, but not tonight…!

A sedan sped along the streets, heading toward the suburban areas far from the bustling city center.

On the road, a phone call came through. Lu Xiao supported the steering wheel with one hand and inserted a Bluetooth earpiece into his ear with the other.

The other end said something, to which Lu Xiao calmly replied: “I’m almost there; everything is going according to plan.”

When Lu Xiao ended the call, a cold and deadly seriousness enveloped him.

He had said that he didn’t want Li Tingze simply to serve a few years in prison, nor did he want him to be released through a high bail—he did not wish to see such an outcome, so he was determined to eliminate him completely…!

The night grew increasingly darker.

The wind mixed with snow howled outside, like the roar of a wild beast.

Finally, after more than twenty minutes, his car slowly entered the area near Yichengjiao’s repair shop.

It wasn’t that there were no people around; on the contrary, there were quite a few small eateries nearby, frequented by crowds who enjoyed hot pots and barbecues while occasionally playing cards.

Not far away, a repair shop had its metal doors open, gathering a few people around.
