Chapter 942: Chapter 942: Fortunately, I Never Underestimated Him

Huo Yanhui, hearing the first half of the sentence, thought it was true that murder wasn’t Ye Shutong’s style.

But when he heard the second half, his heart sank.

“Then… then Little Sister-in-law…” His voice was a bit stuttered.

He Jingyao didn’t answer him, and instead kept pressing the accelerator. The tight lips and clenched jaw were all signs of the overwhelming storm of anger brewing.

“I… I think she probably wouldn’t harm Little Sister-in-law either…” Huo Yanhui pondered and said.

Since Ye Shutong didn’t plan to use Lawrence to commit murder, she probably wouldn’t harm Zhixi either.

But Huo Yanhui still couldn’t figure out what Ye Shutong intended to do.

“Try to contact her.” He Jingyao’s voice was severely hoarse, “Tell her, as long as she doesn’t harm Zhixi, any condition can be negotiated.”

Even though at that moment he wished he could tear Ye Shutong to pieces, but… he couldn’t afford any risk.

He Jingyao knew that what Ye Shutong always wanted was his attention, forcing him to yield.

Since that’s what she wanted, then he’d fulfill her desire.

As long as Zhixi and the baby could be safe.

Huo Yanhui was also stunned for a moment.

He knew just how proud He Jingyao was. Even when cornered several times, he never uttered such words.

But now, he would rather lower his stance.

Huo Yanhui felt a tightness in his throat, nodded heavily, and dialed Ye Shutong’s number.

When Su Zixi woke up, her first reaction was to check her stomach.

Confirming the baby was fine, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, she looked around at the environment.

It seemed like a villa, decorated quite luxuriously. At the moment, she was lying on the sofa, even covered with a blanket.

Su Zixi sat up, a bit dazed.

The other party didn’t seem to intend to harm her, so… what about Jingyao?

Just at that moment, she heard the crisp and pleasant sound of glass clinking nearby.

Following the sound, she saw a slender figure. One hand was holding a glass, the other holding a wine glass, pouring wine into the glass.

“Who are you?” Zhixi couldn’t help but speak.

Upon hearing her voice, the person chuckled, turned around with a wine glass in hand: “Su Zixi, long time no see.”

Zhixi’s pupils slightly contracted: “Ye Shutong?”

“Mm.” She responded indifferently, “Seems you haven’t lost your memory. Ha… your act was really convincing last time.”

“What do you want?” Zhixi bit her lip.

“He Jingyao should have realized he’s been fooled by now, right?” Ye Shutong said, suddenly laughing, “It wasn’t easy tricking him once. However, this time he’s proved that being too clever can backfire on himself. If it wasn’t for his keen intuition linking me with Lawrence, guessing that Lawrence was with me, he wouldn’t have tried to breach Ye International’s system, discovering N39’s existence. Actually, N39 is still under development and hasn’t been tested successfully. During this period, I constantly checked the system, finding no loopholes, and even doubted whether I was overthinking, perhaps He Jingyao never thought this far. Turns out his tech skills were so high, he intercepted information without leaving a trace. Fortunately, I never underestimated him, that’s why we can meet.” The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the noᴠelfire.net

Ye Shutong spoke endlessly with an expression of utter pride.
