Chapter 3 He Remembers Me
- A figure emerged, and I gasped, immediately feeling a surge of anger.
- "He Cong!" I gritted my teeth and watched as he stepped closer to me. Speaking in a cold voice, I asked, "Are you going to tell me that the child in my womb is yours?"
- He Cong dared not look at me and mumbled, "Uh-huh."
- I sneered. "Good."
- Standing up, I pointed to the door and said, "Since you claim the child is yours, then take me home."
- He Cong quickly grabbed hold of me.
- "Xiao Zhi, don't... don't make a scene."
- I pointed upstairs. "Help me bring down my luggage. Since we are husband and wife, and I am carrying your child, it doesn't make sense for us to live in someone else's house."
- He stood there motionless, as if rooted to the ground.
- "Xiao Zhi, don't be stubborn. Be careful not to harm the baby."
- Huh, still pretending.
- The more I looked at him, the more I hated him. I raised my hand and slapped him hard across the face.
- Smack!
- He Cong was instantly dazed.
- "Xiao Zhi, what... what are you doing?" He covered his face, looking shocked and confused.
- "You're happy with the two million, aren't you?"
- He Cong was startled. "You... you found out?!"
- Suddenly, he seemed to realize something. "So it was you who came back this morning! I wondered why the spare key was missing, it was you..."
- "Yes, it was me. He Cong, don't try to deceive me anymore. Tell me, who sent you?"
- He Cong dared not look at me and hesitated to answer.
- I sat down and ignored him.
- "Get lost!"
- "Xiao Zhi, don't be like this."
- Seeing that I turned my head away and refused to look at him, He Cong actually left after standing by my side for a while.
- Gradually, I regained my composure.
- Since he refused to tell me, it didn't matter. I could find out on my own.
- I went back to my room and asked the maid for the secretary's number, borrowing her phone to make the call.
- "I want my phone back, and the freedom to come and go."
- There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then the secretary chuckled. "Miss Xia, we can give you your phone, but as for the freedom to come and go..."
- "I want to go to work. Even if you have the ability, arrange for me to take a week off. I should go back to work now, otherwise people in my company will become suspicious." I said slowly, but deep down, I was extremely nervous.
- Little did I know, the secretary started laughing. "Miss Xia, I forgot to tell you, you were fired by your company, just yesterday."
- "What! You...!"
- He actually took the initiative to quit my job without my consent. He's really audacious...
- "Miss Xia, you should focus on taking care of yourself and the baby. My boss can do more than you can imagine," the secretary threatened softly, but I wasn't buying it!
- I smiled and replied, "I'm sorry, Secretary Dong, but you may not understand me. I am naturally rebellious and love freedom. If I can't come and go as I please, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat or sleep, and eventually fall into depression."
- Their boss needs this child, so he won't disregard my well-being.
- There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and I faintly heard voices as if they were having a conversation.
- I strained my ears to listen carefully, but I couldn't make out whose voice it was.
- After a moment, Secretary Dong finally spoke, "Alright, Miss Xia, from now on, you can freely enter and leave the villa. But I hope you can protect your child, otherwise..."
- "Otherwise, what? Are you going to kill me?" I sneered and hung up the phone directly.
- Soon, the servant returned my confiscated phone to me.
- I calmly took it and went back to my room, immediately locking the door behind me.
- There is one person who might be able to help me.
- I immediately called a friend of mine who works in the media industry.
- She is known as the "Jack of all trades" and there is hardly any information she doesn't know.
- I got straight to the point, "Help me investigate someone."
- She hesitated for a moment, then quickly agreed, "Okay, tell me."
- "It's the owner of a villa." I gave her the address.
- "Alright, don't worry. I'll get the results soon. Just wait."
- Her speed was indeed astonishing. She received the results before she even had a chance to fall asleep.
- "The owner of this house is called Dong Ting..."
- Dong?
- Secretary Dong's house?
- I didn't expect the other party to be so cautious, even registering the house under the secretary's name.
- After hesitating for a moment, I asked her, "Can you also find out the schedule of Sang Qi, the Deputy General Manager of Dayu Group, this morning?"
- "Okay, right away."
- She typed on the keyboard and quickly said, "This morning, Sang Qi was supposed to be on a plane. He just returned from a business trip abroad."
- "On a plane?" I was stunned.
- Then who was the man who appeared at the hospital this morning?
- Who could it be?
