Chapter 1141: Chapter 1144: Ulterior Motives (Part 2)
"Lin Yanxia, Zhu Ying, Ding Yueqiu, you are all good friends of Xiaoling. Since youâre here in Xiangjiang, make sure to stay a few days!" The man walking in front suddenly turned, his gaze skipping over Bing Ling, and spoke directly to the three women, "If you need anything, just say so. I guarantee youâll have fun here in Xiangjiang."
His demeanor seemed as if he was already very familiar with them.
The three women, however, didnât pay much attention to it.
It was Bing Ling who showed a flash of discomfort on her face.
Because after her husband ran into them on the road, he only said one sentence to her.
After that, all his words were for Yan Xia and the others, and his eagerness to please was too obvious.
Originally, they just wanted to find a place to fill their stomachs, but her husband kept insisting that there was a three-Michelin-star chef at home, and the dishes were not something you could get outside.
Furthermore, not going would be like disrespecting Bing Lingâs face.
He also said it wouldnât delay their afternoon shopping.
At that time, heâd drive them there again.
Bing Ling wanted to say something, but she immediately sensed her husbandâs gaze.
That gaze was terrifying.
She dared not refuse.
Once she refused, it would mean her life afterward would become even harder.
Besides, he only mentioned having a meal at home before driving them to continue shopping.
So, she didnât think much more of it.
She just thought maybe her husband was concerned about his face or something.
Since it was their home, nothing excessive should happen.
Besides, this was Yan Xiaâs first time in Xiangjiang.
Having her come to their home seemed like a completely normal thing to do.
Like having a very close friend travel a thousand miles to visit you.
You couldnât just not invite her to see your home and have a meal, right?
Zhu Ying and Lin Yanxia thought it was Bing Lingâs husbandâs enthusiasm, so they didnât think much of it and smiled, "Sure!"
"Thank you, Brother Hao!"
This man was Hao Yusen, Bing Lingâs husband.
He was actually quite handsome and sunny, which was probably why Bing Ling could marry him.
Also, the villa was very upscale.
The two women had an eye for these things, especially Lin Yanxia, who had an extraordinary discernment.
She could guess from the villa and the surname that they belonged to the super-wealthy Hao family in Xiangjiang.
The Hao family was only second to families like the Huo family and the Li family.
In Xiangjiang, they were absolutely prestigious.
Ding Yueqiu nodded slightly and said nothing.
Zhu Ying and Lin Yanxia didnât sense anything unusual, but she felt something was off about this man.
He wasnât treating them like he would treat his wifeâs friends.
It seemed he had some ulterior motives!
She had noticed it when they were in the car.
It was just that she hadnât paid much attention back then, because after all, he was just a basic special forces soldier.
Any one of the three women could take him down.
Only, she inadvertently glanced at the two men standing not far away again.
Those two were also top-notch special forces soldiers.
They had extraordinary skills.
And from their demeanor, it gave people an unsettling feeling.
Hmm, definitely not good people.
"I hope the owner gets the message soon!" she silently said again.
Then, the four of them followed Hao Yusen into the villa.
The villa was huge!
And inside, there was a fairly large yard.
Also, there were often one or two men in suits, wearing sunglasses, seemingly patrolling.
Many servants by the roadside, upon seeing them, bowed one after another and said, "Young Master Sen, Madam Sen, welcome back!"
Hao Yusen didnât glance at them, walked straight ahead, and as he walked, he introduced the villaâs situation to the three women.
To speak honestly, Zhu Ying was a little shocked.
She didnât expect Bing Ling to live in such a nice place usually.
You had to know, this was Xiangjiang.
Every piece of land was measured by the inch.
Lin Yanxia had a flash of a different look on her face, but nothing more.
Ding Yueqiu, as always, showed no extra expression on her face.
Their reactions didnât escape Hao Yusenâs notice.
He secretly analyzed it.
Zhu Ying probably wasnât from a particularly wealthy family, nor had much background.
If she did, she wouldnât have been so surprised.
Because wealthy people from the mainland would buy large houses and villas.
Lin Yanxia, this woman he couldnât quite figure out.
But this woman shouldnât be from an ordinary family, she never showed a surprised expression from the conversation all the way until now, and her thoughts were hard to guess.
The most inscrutable was Ding Yueqiu, she never showed any change in expression and rarely spoke.
Moreover, although this woman wasnât as pretty as Zhu Ying and Lin Yanxia, she was definitely more beautiful than his wife.
And all three of their figures were nearly perfect.
Of course, each had their own unique features.
"Theyâre all mine!" he silently chanted.
These top-class women should be locked up somewhere, for him to endlessly amuse himself.
When he tired of them, sell them.
Or sell their organs or something.
With such high looks, they were surely worth a fortune.
This could completely match up to the value of dozens of women they had captured from outside areas.
Before long, he led the four women to the dining room.
This dining room wasnât their usual place for meals.
But rather, a place for entertaining distinguished guests.
Today was an exception!
The table was filled with all kinds of famous Xiangjiang dishes and snacks, you could say there was almost everything.
Moreover, these were all prepared by a three-Michelin-star chef.
People from anywhere would love it.
"Husband, when did you prepare all this?" Bing Ling showed a hint of confusion on her face.
From the time he met them, it had only been a little over half an hour.
How could he prepare such a full table in over half an hour?
She was aware of the situation at home.
Such a table would take at least three hours to prepare.
Moreover, ever since her husband drove them back, she hadnât seen him make a phone call.
Zhu Ying and Lin Yanxia exchanged a glance, seeing a hint of suspicion in each otherâs eyes.
Could it be?
Bing Lingâs husband didnât just happen to run into them?
But knew they were there in advance, and used the encounter as an excuse to bring them home for a meal.
Was there a need to go through so much trouble for this?
It seemed too scheming?
However, out of consideration for Bing Ling, the two didnât say much.
Yet their expressions were no longer as easygoing as before.
And their responses became more perfunctory.
Ding Yueqiu, always cautious, became even more alert.
Moreover, at this moment she could slightly feel the invasive gaze of Hao Yusen.
"When it was ready is none of your concern!" Hao Yusen waved his hand and sat down first, "You all sit down, hurry and eat!"
"These are all specially prepared by the chef at my request."
"Trust in his culinary skills, theyâre definitely Michelin three-star standards!"
Zhu Ying and Lin Yanxia were about to sit down when Bing Ling stopped them, "Wait a moment!"
