CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 342

"Xixi?"

At that moment, Fu Youhan didn’t know how to describe his emotions.

His heartbeat was fast, fearing Jiang Moxi would misunderstand something.

He also worried about Jiang Moxi being detained at the police station alone, not knowing if she had been mistreated.

"Why haven’t you called me while you were here?"

His dark eyes were eagerly staring at Jiang Moxi.

"You’re busy, aren’t you?" Jiang Moxi glanced at him coldly and then watched the woman behind him with caution.

Wen You!

The one disguised as Dead Ghost was actually right by Fu Youhan’s side.

Seeing Fu Youhan’s stance, did he miss their appointment tonight just to bail out Wen You?

Jiang Moxi even wondered, was Fu Youhan’s recent coldness toward her because of Wen You?

Besides, regarding Wen You disguising as Dead Ghost, what role exactly did Fu Youhan play in it?

Was he deceived by Wen You, believing that she was Dead Ghost, or... was he the mastermind behind this disguise plan?

In that instant, Jiang Moxi’s mind was engulfed by layers of doubts.

And Wen You, facing Jiang Moxi, was smirking sinisterly, her eyes full of a triumphant victory.

Clearly, Wen You also recognized her as Jiang Moxi.

Or rather, did Wen You know from the very beginning that she, Jiang Moxi, was Dead Ghost?

So now, she relished the play before killing Jiang Moxi, including taking away her beloved.

"No matter how busy I am, the moment I get a call that you’re in trouble, I’ll come immediately."

Fu Youhan hurriedly controlled his wheelchair and went to Jiang Moxi’s side.

He eagerly reached out to grab Jiang Moxi’s hand, wanting to express to her his unwavering devotion.

But for Jiang Moxi, she did not need such a declaration, so before Fu Youhan could touch her hand, she withdrew it first.

Thus, Fu Youhan’s hand grasped air, suspended in mid-air.

The atmosphere became utterly sour.

The Chief of Police quickly recalled that this Jiang Moxi was the same person who Fu Youhan personally came to bail out several times, right?

No wonder he felt she was so familiar at first glance!

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the Chief quickly started ordering: "Process Miss Jiang’s case quickly! Wasn’t it said that she acted bravely in righteous deed? Remember to register it. Give her the bravery award at the end of the year."

But some of the cops, lacking tact, still looked troubled when they heard the Chief’s order.

"But the testimonies from those thugs just now accuse her of stealing a motorcycle, this..."

The Chief gave the cop a disdainful look, trying to find words to praise Jiang Moxi’s stealing the bike also for the safety of the whole community, when Fu Youhan spoke up first.

"Help her with the bail procedures now; I’ll take responsibility for any issues!"

The Chief was about to agree immediately, but Jiang Moxi spoke up instead.

"No need, I’ve already asked someone to come bail me out," said Jiang Moxi, having taken her gaze off Wen You and half-closing her cold eyes.

Fu Youhan’s eyebrows instantly furrowed, and his voice carried a thin layer of anger: "I’m right here, who else do you need to come bail you out?"

Because the jealousy surging within him suggested that the person Jiang Moxi called to bail her out at this time had a higher place in her heart than he, Fu Youhan.

"There’s no need for Third Master Fu to worry about that."

To be honest, the moment Jiang Moxi saw Fu Youhan come here to bail out Wen You, she felt somewhat disheartened.

She risked staying in Yan City, just to continue being with Fu Youhan.

But for Wen You, Jiang Moxi’s biggest hidden danger, he had left her alone at home.

Had they not run into each other at the police station, who knows how much longer they would have kept her in the dark...

"Jiang Moxi!" Fu Youhan said sharply.

Wen You’s gaze lingered between Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi, and especially upon seeing something other than the usual indifference on Fu Youhan’s handsome face, she found her heartbeat accelerating.

Because up until now, Fu Youhan’s expression had always been cold and merciless, but at this moment, his stare at Jiang Moxi’s dark pupils, although filled with fury, seemed to contain a myriad of stars, incredibly bewitching.

It was this very feeling, that made Wen You realize, Dead Ghost was not only more famous than her in the assassin world, but she also had more in the real world...

Wen You grew even more jealous of Dead Ghost.

She thought, if this world were without Dead Ghost, all this beauty would be hers!

As Wen You was looking at Jiang Moxi with a cold gaze, a male voice came: "Jiang Moxi, how have you caused trouble again?"

When people turned toward the source of the voice, they saw a man wearing a gray striped three-piece suit and silver-framed glasses heading in Jiang Moxi’s direction.

As Fu Youhan looked in the direction of the voice, the man appeared refined and elegant, like a scholarly gentleman.

When Fu Youhan caught Jing Yan’s gaze, Jing Yan immediately set his eyes on him.

Both men had an exceptional air about them, but when their gazes met, one could vaguely sense a hint of gunpowder in the air.

But Jiang Moxi didn’t let the situation escalate, speaking directly: "I was just standing up for what’s right. Get the papers done, I want to leave."

Jing Yan nodded, preparing to interact with the officers.

But suddenly, Fu Youhan spoke: "No need, I’ve already completed the procedures for Xixi."

The chief also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, Third Master Fu has already finished the procedures for Miss Jiang."

Jing Yan noticed Fu Youhan’s hostility and was about to say something when he unexpectedly caught sight of Wen You by Fu Youhan’s side.

In that instant, Jing Yan’s eyes behind his glasses narrowed.

The moment Wen You’s eyes met Jing Yan’s, they also grew colder.

Because she realized, this man had recognized her identity.

So...

Is he the famed Scavenger, the top enforcer by Dead Ghost’s side?

At this moment, Fu Youhan also realized something was off in the exchange of glances between the two, and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Jing Yan suddenly withdrew his gaze from Wen You and scoffed, "I don’t know her. But in the world of love, three’s a crowd, and our Moxi shouldn’t have to suffer this way."

Yes, Jing Yan was aware of Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi’s relationship.

Lately, he had been strongly advising Jiang Moxi to leave, yet she had been reluctant to act, alerting Jing Yan that something was amiss.

Thus, Jing Yan investigated Jiang Moxi’s whereabouts in secret and subsequently discovered her unusual relationship with Fu Youhan.

It’s just that Jing Yan hadn’t fully digested this fact until he encountered Wen You by Fu Youhan’s side!

So he spoke with a mix of truth and pretense, making Fu Youhan believe that he was standing up for Jiang Moxi.

And now, both Fu Youhan and Wen You had an inscrutable look in their eyes.

Indeed, Fu Youhan was also unsure whether this man knew Wen You, or was simply standing up for Jiang Moxi.

And Wen You couldn’t discern if this man was the rumored Scavenger.

They both kept their eyes on Jing Yan.

But Jing Yan did not wish to be fully seen through, and simply left a remark: "Since Moxi’s paperwork is done, thank you then. We’ll take our leave first!"

Jiang Moxi immediately cooperated with Jing Yan and got up to leave.

Fu Youhan watched Jiang Moxi leaving with another man without looking back, feeling as if something important was being pulled away from him...
