Chapter 112: Chapter 0112 Ambiguous Text Messages

After Chu Ge returned to the villa, he found the lights were still on. Opening the door, he entered to find Mu Bingtong sitting on the sofa, indeed waiting for him.

Seeing Chu Ge come in, Mu Bingtong’s eyes visibly fluctuated, but she quickly masked it, coughed once and tried to sound nonchalant as she asked, "Are you alright?"

Mu Bingtong had covered up quickly, but that fleeting moment did not escape Chu Ge’s eyes, and a warm current couldn’t help but flow through his heart.

Ever since his master died, he had been living alone for these years. This was the first time someone had genuinely cared for him!

"Are you concerned about me?" However, feeling moved was one thing, what he said was another matter entirely. He flashed Mu Bingtong a smile, which no matter how one looked at it, seemed rather lecherous...

Watching Chu Ge’s expression, Mu Bingtong couldn’t help but feel helpless and shook her head saying, "I’m glad you’re okay. By the way, what was up with the group of people who took you away earlier?"

"Officers, ah, didn’t you see?" Chu Ge leaned back on the sofa and started eating an apple.

"Don’t lie to me!" Mu Bingtong glanced at him and shook her cell phone, "I’ve just confirmed there were no police dispatch records in this area! Meaning, those people earlier were probably imposters!"

It must be said, sometimes a woman being too clever can be troublesome.

Chu Ge pinched his brow in slight distress and ultimately looked Mu Bingtong straight in the eyes, "Bingtong, don’t ask about this matter. Trust me, you wouldn’t want to know!"

Mu Bingtong may be a strong businesswoman, but when all is said and done, she’s still just a woman of ordinary society. The likes of assassins are too dark for her.

"You should get some rest early. You have to work tomorrow." Mu Bingtong truly didn’t ask further, only left him with these light words of advice and stood up walking toward the upstairs.

"Hey—" Just as Mu Bingtong was about to go up the stairs, Chu Ge suddenly said, "With all the events today, you look worn out. Take a few days off at home."

Mu Bingtong’s fingers, clutching the stair’s handrail, trembled slightly, and her ears seemed to redden, "I’m fine. The company is extremely busy right now. I’ll take a few days off after this period has passed. Also... thank you!"

After saying this, Mu Bingtong walked up the stairs, her face flushed with a twin blush—she couldn’t even tell herself if the "thank you" was for Chu Ge saving her earlier or for his recent words of concern.

Chu Ge, however, didn’t think too much and just sat on the sofa, lips pressed tightly together.

He still hadn’t figured out who wanted to target him. It shouldn’t be the Duan Family, and with regard to the Chen Family... when he saw the crossbow assassin commit suicide, he had already ruled out the Chen Family.

"It seems I need to prioritize advancing to the Innate Realm sooner rather than later!" Chu Ge muttered to himself, and then he suddenly went into the bedroom, picked up a spare phone, and made a call to Huo Tianqian.

The phone was answered after a few seconds, with several coquettish female voices on the other end, and Huo Tianqian’s irate voice came through, "Who the hell is calling me at this hour? If you don’t give me a reason, I swear I’ll..."

"Huo Tianqian, it’s me," Chu Ge spoke calmly.

"You swear it’s... what the fuck, Mr. Chu!" Huo Tianqian was startled, his voice immediately became apprehensive, "Mr. Chu, why did you change your number?"

"I lost the previous one." Chu Ge didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "What about the batch of herbs I asked you to find?"

"Ah, I was actually planning to report to you tomorrow," Huo Tianqian’s voice contained a hint of vexation, "Everything else is fine, but one of the items is from out of town. I had already sent someone to get it, but halfway there, it got intercepted by one of my adversaries from another province!"

"Intercepted by someone?" Chu Ge’s eyes narrowed.

"Right!" Huo Tianqian said. "It’s not very convenient to talk on the phone. Do you have time tomorrow? If you do, I can send someone to pick you up, and I’ll explain everything in person."

"Um, okay." Chu Ge nodded: "Then, I’ll see you tomorrow."

After saying this, he hung up the phone.

In a very lavishly decorated room, Huo Tianqian looked at the disconnected call on his phone, finally let out a long sigh of relief, and pulled out a tissue to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.

On Chu Ge’s side, after a quick wash-up, he was ready to rest, but on a whim, he suddenly picked up his phone and sent a message to Mu Bingtong.

"Have you gone to bed?"

A few minutes passed after sending the message without a reply; Chu Ge shook his head with a smile. Just as he was about to put down his phone and switch off the light to sleep, the message notification suddenly lit up.

"Not yet, what’s up?"

Seeing Mu Bingtong’s reply, Chu Ge’s interest piqued. He immediately sat up in bed, hugged his phone, and began typing: "Nothing much, just that I miss you and wanted to chat."

In a room upstairs, Mu Bingtong looked at the message, and her cheeks instantly became burning hot as she muttered to herself, "This guy..."

"Why aren’t you speaking?"

Seeing another message from Chu Ge, for some reason, Mu Bingtong’s lips slightly curved into a smile as if laughing, her two fingers tapping on the screen: "What do you want me to say?"

"Lots, for instance, do you like me?" Chu Ge suddenly revealed a mischievous grin and then hit the send button.

The two were only a few dozen meters apart, so there was naturally no delay. As soon as Chu Ge sent the message, it appeared on Mu Bingtong’s phone screen.

This time, not only her cheeks were scorching hot, but even her ears turned embarrassingly red, and it was fortunate that the lights were off.

She bit her lip and sent two words on the screen: "Drop dead!"

"Are you angry because you’re embarrassed?" Chu Ge didn’t give up and continued to provoke her: "Just boldly say it out loud, I won’t tell anyone else!"

Faced with such shameless talk, the first emotion that emerged in Mu Bingtong’s heart was not anger but a mix of endless shyness and some indescribable feelings.

"What... what’s wrong with me?" Mu Bingtong covered her cheeks with her hands, her gaze complicated as she looked at the messages on the screen.

After a few minutes with no reply, Chu Ge shook his head, smiling, and sent: "Alright, I’ll stop teasing you, good night."

Seeing the new message, Mu Bingtong couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief and replied: "Good night!"

The night passed without further words.

However, breakfast the next day turned a bit peculiar.

Shen Yaoyao would take a sip of soy milk and sneak peeks at Chu Ge, and when Chu Ge turned his gaze toward her, she would hurriedly lower her head.

As for Mu Bingtong, although she tried hard to maintain a composed demeanor, her earlobes were already faintly blushing...
