Xu Nanyin held the phone tightly, looked at the words "Beijing's No. 1 Bully" on the screen, and looked at the familiar WeChat avatar.

I had been calm all the way, my rational mind, but the fragile emotions of fear and panic hidden deep in my heart suddenly gave way...

Her nose felt sore, and just looking at Pei Jingmo's WeChat avatar, her tears welled up. She slowly squatted down along the door panel, buried her face between her knees and sobbed.

However, there are more urgent matters at hand.

Through a hazy mist of tears, she hung up the WeChat video call and sent him a message: [Don't ask why yet, send someone to find Wang Qian immediately! Quick! Otherwise it will be too late!]

With Pei Zhuo's scheming, he might attack Wang Qian first...

Pei Jingmo did not reply to the message. He must have listened to her and immediately dispatched people.

After squatting on the ground and crying heartily to vent all the emotions in her heart, Xu Nanyin went into the bathroom to take a shower, blow-dried her hair, changed into clean and soft strawberry pajamas, smelled the same bath scent as Pei Jingmo, and lay down in the warm quilt on the bed.

The whole person calmed down and felt like a new life.

She picked up her phone, opened the WeChat chat box with Pei Jingmo, repeatedly read the messages he had sent in the past few days, and clicked on the voice message he sent:

【Pig, wake up】

【Good night, dear~】

[Yinyin, are you happy today? Did anyone make you angry?]

[Do you miss me? Hmm?]

……

After listening to his low and pleasant voice over and over again, Xu Nanyin finally smiled and felt at peace and soft in her heart.

Although she had just survived a dangerous disaster, this was the time when she needed his shoulder and comfort the most, but he was far away in Country F and would not be back for two days as originally planned.

She couldn't let him know what happened tonight, making him anxious and worried, and delaying his work.

She couldn't help him with his career, and he was already very tired and hard-working. The only thing she could do was to be stronger, take on more responsibilities, and let him worry less...

Suddenly, the dialog box displayed "The other party is typing..."

Her heart was pounding as she waited anxiously for news from Pei Jingmo.

What I waited for was WeChat video.

Xu Nanyin pressed the green answer button.

On the screen, the man's deep and handsome face suddenly flashed, and a stunning feeling of rich complexion came to the face.

She stared at him intently, and her nose couldn't help but feel sour. Although they video-called each other every day during the past few days of separation, she still missed him very much, especially at this moment.

Pei Jingmo narrowed his dark eyes and curled his lips: "What's wrong? You look like you're about to cry. Are you thinking about your touching neighbor's uncle again?"

Xu Nanyin pursed her lips and stared at him without saying a word.

"Xu Nanyin, tell me you miss me, rely on me, and need me." Pei Jingmo smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "Don't you know I'm susceptible to this?"

Xu Nanyin's eyes were soft and her voice was soft: "Hubby, I miss you so much and can't live without you~"

In an instant, the man's Adam's apple on the screen rolled subtly, his eyes dark and deep, staring at her with burning passion.

"Fuck. I should have taken you on this business trip with me."

There was a knock on the door.

"Boss Pei, your dinner." Huang Liu walked in with a lunch box and glanced at the big boss who was sitting at the desk with a sultry look on his face. He knew who he was talking to without even thinking.

"Madam, actually, this is Mr. Pei's lunch and dinner!"

Huang Liu's face could not be seen on the screen, but his voice of complaint could be heard clearly.

It's already 7pm in Country F, and they haven't had lunch yet...

Xu Nanyin couldn't help but frown, "Pei Jingmo, did you promise me that no matter how busy you are on a business trip, you will eat well?"

With a click of his tongue, Pei Jingmo turned his head and looked at Huang Liu, who turned around and walked towards the door.

The chubby figure took flexible and agile steps, with a strong desire to survive.

Looking at the angry little pale face on the screen, Master Pei said in a gentle voice, "I just ate something to fill my stomach. I'm not hungry. Calm down."

He placed his cell phone on the desk, opened the lunch box, and took out a salad of cucumber, tomato, onion, cherry radish and some lettuce. He picked up a piece of lettuce with a fork in his right hand and stuffed it into his mouth. His handsome eyebrows immediately twisted into a knot in disgust.

"Besides, look, is this food for humans? I don't think I'm eating them, they're eating me. They can eat ten kilograms of my flesh in a month."

Xu Nanyin looked at the pile of unappetizing "grass" in his lunch box. It was indeed a very vicious foreign meal.

It can't be compared with the dazzling array of delicious food in China.

He took out a long baguette from the lunch box. "This bread is so hard that it can break my teeth if I bite it, so I plan to bring it back home for my bestie. It's time for her to get a new weapon..."

Xu Nanyin burst out laughing and fell on the bed.

Suddenly Pei Jingmo put down his fork, his expression slightly serious, "I'll take a call first." Then he hung up the video.

Xu Nanyin waited for a while before he called again. After the call was connected, she immediately asked, "Is there any news from Wang Qian?"

Pei Jingmo nodded slightly and said with a gloomy face: "Wang Qian is missing."

After receiving her news, he immediately sent someone to find out that Wang Qian was staying in a star-rated hotel.

His people rushed to the hotel, but were told that Wang Qian had left ten minutes ago.

Further investigation revealed that Wang Qian had disappeared into a corner of a park near the hotel where the surveillance camera was broken...

ten minutes.

Xu Nanyin clutched the quilt tightly unwillingly. It must be that Pei Zhuo had controlled Wang Qian ten minutes earlier. This man was too scheming and his actions were quick enough.

But this also proved that her guess was correct. Pei Zhuo attacked her tonight because of Wang Qian. He was very afraid that Wang Qian would be targeted by them. Perhaps Wang Qian had some secret handle on him...

"Yinyin, what's wrong with your neck?"

On the screen, Pei Jingmo frowned, and his eyes suddenly stared at the unusual red circle on her snow-white neck, which looked like... a mark from being strangled.

Xu Nanyin subconsciously lowered her head, but could not see anything unusual about her neck.

But she also guessed that the person who attacked her used too much force and left the marks.

She tried to force a natural smile and said, "I just used a face cream I've never used before and I'm allergic to it."

"Lift your head up, let me see." Pei Jingmo did not ignore her explanation.

Xu Nanyin swallowed nervously, and when she looked up, she scratched her neck with her hands. She smiled and said, "It's just an allergy, a little itchy... I'll get some medicine tomorrow."

On the screen, Pei Jingmo looked at her deeply, his face showing no emotion.

He said, "Okay. I'll ask the housekeeper to invite Dr. Lin to the old house tomorrow."

Does this mean you believe what she said?

Xu Nanyin breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly waved her hands: "No need to be so troublesome, it's a minor problem, I can just go to the pharmacy and buy some ointment myself." If Dr. Lin came, she would definitely be exposed. She didn't have the majesty of Pei Jingmo to ask Dr. Lin to help her conceal it.

After a moment of silence, Pei Jingmo didn't say yes or no.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly asked, "Yinyin, you haven't told me yet, how did you find out that Wang Qian and Pei Zhuo are related?"

"Sister Nanya was ill, so I went to visit her and overheard her mention Wang Qian..."

The more they talked, the more guilty they felt. Xu Nanyin rubbed her eyes and yawned as if she was very sleepy. "It's almost 12 o'clock. I'm so sleepy. I need to go to bed."

Pei Jingmo said softly, "Have a good rest."

Xu Nanyin breathed a sigh of relief and was about to end the video call when he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Be good, don't be afraid of anything. I'll be back soon."

She was stunned, and before she could react, he hung up.

Did he... notice something?

After turning off the lights, Xu Nanyin lay down in bed, closed her eyes, and saw only darkness in front of her.

The fear of being suddenly strangled by the neck, dragged backwards, and falling into the lake continued to ferment silently in the dark space...

She shivered uncontrollably and pulled the quilt over her head.

I just forced myself to sleep, and I didn't know when I finally fell asleep. Then, I was woken up again in a daze...

There was an unusual noise at the door.
