Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 144: Stratospheric Man, and Another Gu Kexin

It was just a moment when the call connected.

The expressions of Yun Wuyue and Lin Jiayin suddenly changed...

In an instant, the light in Lin Jiayin's eyes disappeared, and along with it, the last glimmer of hope in her heart also dimmed instantly.

Yun Wuyue sat up straight, her throat moving several times in succession, clearly wanting to say countless words directly, but her brain instantly stopped her at the moment of speaking.

Because there were too many things to consider: the specific content, the tone of speech, the feelings involved...

Yun Wuyue hadn't said a word yet.

A voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Um..."

It was a woman's voice.

Zhang Chuyun parked the car on the side of the road and turned on the hazard lights.

The windshield wipers squeaked back and forth. Li Mubai closed his eyes and listened quietly to the sound of rain and Zhang Chuyun's voice.

They had already arrived at the entrance of the alley.

In at most ten minutes, they would reach Zhang's courtyard.

"On my way home, he's drunk... I ran into him near the Life Bar."

"President Yun, I don't think you should impose your will on Mubai, right?"

"Alright, I'll wait for you. I'll send you the location."

With a few brief sentences, Zhang Chuyun hung up the phone.

Li Mubai felt the phone slide back into his pocket again. Then Zhang Chuyun reached over and pulled up the jacket that belonged to her, which was covering him.

The car started again.

A faint sense of acceleration came, and Li Mubai pretended to wake up slowly, opening his eyes in a sluggish manner.

"Mubai, are you awake? How do you feel?"

Li Mubai displayed his superb acting skills and shook his head slightly, his voice somewhat dry and hoarse as he said, "I'm fine, just a bit thirsty."

Zhang Chuyun parked the car on the side of the road again and quickly took out a bottle of mineral water from her side of the car door. She unscrewed the cap and brought it to Li Mubai's mouth.

Leaning slightly, Li Mubai took a sip of water before turning his head and saying, "Thank you..."

Zhang Chuyun turned on the hazard lights and looked at Li Mubai with a loving gaze. Unable to control herself, she reached out and tidied up his messy hair in front of his forehead.

"It's alright... Mubai... Why were you at the bar? Weren't you at the hospital?"

Li Mubai closed his eyes. "I went out with Wuyue."

The simple mention of Yun Wuyue made Zhang Chuyun's eyes light up at first, but then she fell silent for a long time.

Li Mubai's right wrist, which he didn't bother to conceal at all, was empty.

Zhang Chuyun stared at Li Mubai like this...

About twenty minutes later.

A Rolls-Royce abruptly braked and stopped about twenty meters in front of the Santana.

Before the car came to a complete stop, Yun Nan, who was in the driver's seat, got out of the car with a hundred thousand yuan umbrella in hand. Yun Wuyue had already opened the rear door and walked towards the Santana in pouring rain.

Yun Nan, who hurriedly got out of the car, looked at Yun Wuyue's back and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It was as if he saw Li Mubai pushing open the doors of the grand hall, drenched in rain, at the Nine Provinces Art Academy party that night.

Different times, different scenes.

But the encounters were so similar!

Yun Wuyue came directly to the driver's seat of the Santana and knocked on the window.

The car window rolled down, and before Zhang Chuyun could speak, Yun Wuyue saw Li Mubai lying on the passenger seat. She immediately changed her direction and walked towards the passenger seat.

Yun Nan, who had hurried over, held the umbrella and had to step aside. It wasn't until Yun Wuyue bypassed the front of the car that he finally covered Yun Wuyue with the umbrella.

Fortunately, the passenger door was not locked.

Yun Wuyue helped Li Mubai up and made room for Yun Nan to hold the umbrella for Li Mubai.

"Don't think you've won. I just can't bear to see him sad."

The sound of Zhang Chuyun came from inside the Santana car. Yun Wuyue's steps slowed down by half a step as he said, "At least I won't lose."

Before Zhang Chuyun could say anything else, Yun Wuyue had already helped Li Mubai into the car and left, leaving behind raindrops the size of beans hitting the asphalt road, splashing water everywhere.

Yun Nan sat in the driver's seat while supporting Li Mubai in the back seat. He looked at the dashboard in front of him and asked softly, "President Yun... where are we going?"

Yun Wuyue gently caressed Li Mubai's cheek and pondered for a few seconds before saying, "Let's go to Jinshui Shallow Bay."

"Okay."

Feeling the warmth of President Yun's embrace, Li Mubai closed his eyes contentedly.

This wave!

This wave took him to the stratosphere!

Going round and round, he could only return to the embrace of President Yun.

Li Mubai had guessed that Xu Shiwen and the others would soon find out about his discharge from the hospital once he left Yun Wuyue. As long as he refused to answer their calls, everyone would try to contact Yun Wuyue.

After all, besides President Yun, who else could they pin their hopes on?

So, choosing Life Bar was the most definite choice.

President Yun would definitely contact him then.

However, Li Mubai had thought that it would be Lin Jiajia or Lin Jiayin who would come to pick him up.

Unexpectedly... Zhang Chuyun came directly, a pleasant surprise!

And there was Tong Lin, a double happiness.

As for President Yun, how could she feel at ease hearing another woman's voice on the phone? She would definitely rush over without delay.

At the same time.

Through other girls, President Yun wouldn't feel any different from herself and the other girls.

She was special, an exception, unique to Li Mubai!

In this way, the purpose of comforting President Yun would be achieved.

And it would perfectly resolve the slight crack that had just appeared between them at the Yun family villa.

It's just that there was no arrangement with Lin Jiayin, but with the blessings of Zhang Chuyun and Tong Lin, it wasn't a loss.

In the next few days, Li Mubai could see if there was a chance to compensate Lin Jiayin through other means.

Feeling the love and caress of President Yun, Li Mubai fell asleep contentedly...

Zhang Chuyun sat in the car and watched the Rolls-Royce drive away, letting out a long sigh.

Just as she was about to start the car.

The phone rang, showing Director Xiao's call.

She cleared her throat and collected her thoughts before pressing the answer button.

"Hello, Director Xiao."

"Hello, Vice Director Zhang. We found that person. Her name is Xiaoyan!"

Zhang Chuyun's eyes brightened. "Found her?"

"Yes, we have brought her to the bureau according to the prescribed procedures."

"Good, I'll be right there."

Just as Zhang Chuyun was about to hang up the phone and start the car, she heard a slight hesitation in the other person's voice.

"Um... Vice Director Zhang, there's one more thing..."

Zhang Chuyun's hand paused...

"What is it?"

"There's another person investigating this Xiaoyan..."

"Another person?" Zhang Chuyun's eyes narrowed. "Who is it? What's their name?"

"According to the file, it's a college student named Gu Kexin... but judging from appearances, she doesn't look like a college student..."

"Wait for me, I'll be there in thirty minutes!"

"Uh... understood!"
