Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Investigate This Woman
 

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to see the man; she merely felt relieved that she had come home early tonight. However, if it turned out that she was indeed late, she simply wouldn’t be able to explain herself properly to Wang Sheng.

It seemed that Zhao Guangchen was experienced in this matter and it was a good thing she had listened to him. Otherwise, tonight would have probably been a hassle for her.

Lin Yi returned to his room, where everything was now ready. Lying in bed, he still felt restless, tossing and turning without sleep.

He had no idea how long had passed when he picked up his phone to check the time—it was already midnight.

Yet, he felt not the slightest bit tired.

Previously in the mountains, he had gone about two days and nights without rest. Under normal circumstances, he would have been fast asleep by now.

Perhaps his mind was just too full of thoughts.

Since he couldn’t sleep, Lin Yi decided to simply sit up in bed.

After that, he sat by the window, looking out at the night sky.

At this point, the entire town had settled into a peaceful tranquility.

Everything was pitch black, except for some distant lights still flickering.

He had no idea whether he could carry out tomorrow’s task smoothly and had no confidence in the upcoming surgery.

The system had been quiet tonight, not seeking him out at all.

Normally, on the eve of a big battle, the system would at least give him some instructions, but this time it had changed its pattern.

Could it really trust him so much with the current situation?

Well, that was fine. He felt that ever since he discovered this system within him, he had hardly done anything dreadful.

Even if there were things he wasn’t sure about, he could still resolve them quickly with the system’s help.

He believed that the road ahead should only get smoother.

With that being the case, what did he have to worry about?

He just laughed helplessly. Maybe he was just overthinking.

Sometimes, he would dwell on things that hadn’t even happened yet.

If that was the case, it would inevitably interfere with some of his own matters—a mindset he absolutely couldn’t afford to have.

Lin Yi silently admonished himself in his heart, and before he knew it, the latter half of the night had arrived.

He started to feel genuinely sleepy and yawned deeply.

Then, he went to his bed, closed his eyes, and soon fell deep into sleep.

Han Xuemei was lying in bed, but in fact, she hadn’t fallen asleep at all.

After receiving that phone call, she had constantly been pondering what Wang Sheng could possibly want to discuss with her.

Was there a sudden change in his circumstances, or did he have a new idea?

Anyway, since lying down, Han Xuemei felt she couldn’t sleep soundly.

After an indeterminate amount of time, she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening outside.

Han Xuemei was startled and immediately sat up in bed.

She checked the time on her phone—it was already 1:20 a.m.

It seemed that, just as Wang Sheng had said, he would arrive around 1 o’clock as promised.

Han Xuemei got up and left her room.

“You didn’t sleep?”

Wang Sheng had just entered and turned on the light, only to see Han Xuemei already coming out from inside.

“No, I’ve been tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. What’s going on with you? Why do you have to come back in the middle of the night?”

“Didn’t I tell you? You were supposed to get two hours of sleep.”

“Heh, just because you said to sleep, does that mean I can? Besides, it’s not that easy to fall asleep. I’m not tired anyway; let’s sit down and tell me exactly what the situation is.”

As she spoke, Han Xuemei walked over and sat down near the sofa.

After sitting down, Wang Sheng lit a cigarette.

From his manner, it appeared that things were not going as smoothly as he had hoped.

“What do you mean, has he stopped trusting you now?”

“I feel that he never really trusted me from the start.”

“How could you tell? Did he prevent you from handling this matter?”

“Although I delivered the goods to him, when I requested to stay, he said there was no need for me to remain. With Ling’er and Hei Lang by his side, that was enough.”

“That’s it, but then again, at this point, you probably haven’t become someone he truly trusts.”

“But if he doesn’t treat me as one of his own, why would he assign me to oversee such a project?”

“This project, exactly what kind of project is it? You’ve found out by now, haven’t you?”

“I still can’t bring myself to imagine what it is, and when I asked him why he was transporting these medical devices, he told me a friend had commissioned him to buy them. I think that’s just a lie.”

“A friend bought them? Heh, I doubt anyone believes that.”

“Exactly, it seems he doesn’t even bother to spend the time to lie to me anymore.”

“Did you notice anything in the town?”

“No, I stayed in the town for less than half an hour, so I have very few clues.”

“Who was there? Aside from Lin Yi, were Ling’er and Hei Lang also there?”

“Yes, and there was a mysterious woman. Oh right, speaking of her, I think I managed to find some leads.”

“Oh? What woman? It’s not Han Xuewei, is it?”

“No, if it were Han Xuewei, wouldn’t I know? It’s definitely not his wife; it’s another woman.”

“Another woman? Who is she? Have you figured out anything about her background?”

“No, I have no recollection of this woman before, so I can assure you that she definitely hasn’t appeared before.”

“I’ve paid attention to his affairs before too, and he is very cautious when it comes to relationships with women. If you’re sure that this woman hasn’t appeared before, then this suspicion arises: she must have joined recently.”
