Chapter 716 Mom, Love Me Again 5
After Yu Muhuai finished packing his things, he waited quietly in the small room. About ten minutes later, the door was opened from the outside with a key.

"Lan Lan?"

Seeing that no one answered, Lin Zhelei went to the small room, knocked gently on the door, and then pushed it open.

The door was unlocked.

Upon opening the door, I saw someone sleeping on the small bed, buried under the covers.

Seemingly awakened by the noise of the door opening, Yu Muhuai opened his eyes groggily and looked at Lin Zhelei with sleepy eyes.

"You're back?"

Seeing that Yu Muhuai looked like he had just woken up and had no suspicion at all, Lin Zhelei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go cook now. You can continue sleeping. I'll wake you up when it's ready."

As soon as the door was closed, Yu Muhuai sat up.

At this moment, her eyes were clear, and apart from her hair being a little messy, she didn't look like she had been asleep at all.

The kitchen in the rented apartment was very small.

Close the kitchen door to prevent cooking fumes from escaping.

Lin Zhelei was the only one busy inside, while Yu Muhuai sat on the sofa outside waiting.

Pick, wash, and chop the vegetables; blanch them to remove blood and foam; stir-fry, add seasonings, water, dark soy sauce, and light soy sauce; then braise.
It's clear that Lin Zhelei is indeed a skilled cook.

In her previous life, Luo Lan curiously asked Lin Zhelei how he had learned to cook.

He put on a melancholy expression and said, "When you're alone for too long, you always have to learn some skills you didn't know before, otherwise how can you survive?"

When Luo Lan heard this, she felt sorry for the other person. She was even a little relieved, thinking that this person had finally reformed and stopped doing bad things.

Looking back, Luo Lan felt like her head had been caught in a door at that moment.

More than an hour later, all the dishes were served.

Two vegetarian dishes, two meat dishes, and a soup—it's quite a feast.

Lin Zhelei also opened a bottle of red wine.

From day one, Lin Zhelei slowly began to get Luo Lan drunk.

However, he only dabbled in it for the first few days. On the last day, Lin Zhelei determined the right time to make his move, so he opened a bottle of strong liquor and looked like he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

Lin Zhelei poured red wine into their glasses.

Yu Muhuai didn't say much, and took a sip.

The two of them only ate during that time and spoke very little.

Lin Zhelei assumed the other person was in a bad mood because of their daughter and didn't find it strange.

On the contrary, he acted very considerately, constantly adding dishes for Yu Muhuai and telling her to eat more and take good care of her health.

During this time, Yu Muhuai pretended that his hands were shaking and "accidentally" dropped his chopsticks on the ground.

Just as she was about to bend down to pick them up, Lin Zhelei stood up, walked over to Yu Muhuai, squatted down, and picked up the chopsticks.

"Lanlan, you can just sit here. I'll go get you a new pair."

After saying that, Lin Zhelei picked up a pair of chopsticks from the ground and went to the kitchen, where he washed them in the sink.

While he was away, Yu Muhuai quickly took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and poured the medicine into Lin Zhelei's glass.

There was still a third of a glass of red wine in it.

It was a colorless and odorless medicine. Sitting back down at the table, Lin Zhelei didn't notice anything amiss.

He handed the clean chopsticks to Yu Muhuai.

Yu Muhuai picked up his wine glass, tilted the rim slightly toward the other person, and smiled.

Thank you for preparing this meal.

It was rare to see Yu Muhuai speak first, and Lin Zhelei felt somewhat flattered.

He quickly picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Yu Muhuai's.

Seeing Lin Zhelei tilting his head back to drink, his Adam's apple bobbing incessantly, Yu Muhuai revealed an inscrutable smile.

About half an hour later, Lin Zhelei's eyes began to wander.

He looked somewhat bewildered, as if he had seen something fun, and smiled happily.

Yu Muhuai waved his hand in front of Lin Zhelei.

However, the other person's eyes were completely unfocused, ignoring the hand waving in front of them.

"Lin Zhelei?"

"Ok?"

"What's your name?"

"Lin, Lin Zhelei" "How old are you this year?"

I am forty-two years old.

Why did you suddenly come to see Luo Lan?

"I'm here to take her money."

Yu Muhuai raised an eyebrow. She was now certain that this bottle was something similar to truth serum.

So in his previous life, Lin Zhelei used this thing to extract all of Luo Lan's passwords.

Yu Muhuai didn't believe that this guy had the means to get his hands on the medicine bottle.

You can't get something like this without very strong connections.

If he were that capable, why would he be treated like a dog, being chased around for debts?

Yu Muhuai crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair with a leisurely air, and asked slowly and deliberately.

"How did you know Luo Lan had so much money?"

"Because...because someone told me."

"Who said that?"

"I don't know. I asked them, but they wouldn't tell me."

"What did that person look like?"

"Wearing a black suit, he looked very serious."

Based on this description, he sounds like a bodyguard in a wealthy family.

"Did they give you this medicine bottle too?"

"Yes."

"Did they help you rent the house?"

"Um"

"You took Luo Lan's money, aren't you afraid of going to jail?"

"That person said that we used to be husband and wife, so this is considered marital property and we won't go to jail."

Yu Muhuai was utterly amused by this person's stupidity.

They dared to do such a thing without even basic legal knowledge.

However, considering what Lin Zhelei has done over the past ten years, it's not surprising.

Anyone with a modicum of sense who wants to live a decent life wouldn't become addicted to gambling.

This kind of thing is a bottomless pit, with a filthy swamp at the bottom, and once you get it, it's very hard to wash it off.

Lin Zhelei was not only deeply trapped in it, but his head and eyes were also completely covered by the mud.

That's why they were so foolish.

Yu Muhuai thought for a moment, then continued to ask, "How much gambling debt do you owe?"

Lin Zhelei then gave a number.

It's more than all the money Yu Muhuai currently has on him.

However, if this money is used to pay off debts, it can at least cover some of the outstanding debts.

Is someone chasing you for debt?

"Yes. Brother Qiang is very fierce. He threatened that if I don't pay back the money next time, he will cut off one of my fingers."

And Jay Chou too.

Lin Zhelei listed several creditors as if they were his own treasures, and they all sounded like fierce and terrifying people.

Do you have their phone number?

"some."

She picked up Lin Zhelei's phone, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and then looked up his phonebook.

"What are the names of those major creditors you mentioned?"

"Brother Qiang's name means 'get hit by a car when you go out.' Brother Jie's name means 'a big flowerpot falls and hits you on the head and smashes it open.'"

Yu Muhuai pursed his lips.

It seems that Lin Zhelei, having exhausted all other options, can only pray that these people will suffer a sudden and tragic death, thus avoiding being held accountable for their debts.
