Chapter 105 You Reap What You Sow (1/2)
Chong Honghui muttered under his breathe: ”If its not any of them, then who the hell could it be?” He had only been in China for a short period of time and couldn't think of any instances where he had offended someone.
He started thinking about what Zhōu Shàoqiáng had said to him previously 'Maybe Zhōu Shàoqiáng is right about owner Lài. The person on the phone had a distinct way of speaking that sounds a little like owner Lài.I just can't imagine by owner Lài would be targeting me he seemed hospitable from the moments I ca recall on Friday. Could it really have something to do with HuaHua?'
Jia Kuai Hua: ”Gege what's going on? You're starting to worry me.”
Chong Honghui looked up at Jia Kuai Hua's adorable face which was now full of concern and worry for him. He put any doubts he had to the back of his mind.
Chong Honghui relaxed his tense body and stroked her hair: ”Just a little problem, nothing for you to worry about.” He gave her a reassuring smile.
Jia Kuai Hua: ”Are you sure gege? You look really upset.”
Chong Honghui pretended to look annoyed: ”Are you doubting your gege's abilities?”
Jia Kuai Hua immediately denied it shaking her head from side to side adamantly: ”No, my gege is the best. There's nothing that he can't do.”
Chong Honghui smile returned once again: ”Why don't we order something else? The food is already cold.” He really wanted to rush out of this restaurant and start investigating the origins of this sick son of a B****. However, he didn't want Jia Kuai Hua to worry.
Jia Kuai Hua could see that Chong Honghui had something important to deal with: ”Gege I'm feeling really tired and I have classes tomorrow so I'll have to get to bed soon.”
Chong Honghui was grateful that Jia Kuai Hua was such a considerate and perceptive girlfriend; ”Okay. I'll drive you home. I promise I'll bring you out again soon.”
Jia Kuai Hua: ”You said it Gege! You promised and I'll teach you a lesson if you don't fulfil your promise. Hmph.”
Chong Honghui was amused by Jia Kuai Hua's words. She always had a way to dissolve some of his unhappiness: ”Oh? How will you teach me a lesson Miss Jia?”
Jia Kuai Hua pouted and put on an a mock-fierce face: ”Are you doubting my prowess? I'll completely ignoring you for two weeks!”
Chong Honghui: ”How could I survive such a form of torture?”
Jia Kuai Hua nodded and leaned into Chong Honghui's side as they left their private room.
Chong Honghui paid the bill and left the restaurant holding Jia Kuai waist.

Apartment 5
Li Xiuying was doing some light stretches as she got up from the sofa.She picked up her disposable phone, closed the voice changing up and disconnected the voice changing device before turning it off. Li Xiuying wanted to ensure that her voice would be altered beyond recognition hence she had used two forms of technology.
Li Xiuying trudged to the kitchen and placed the phone on her counter top before retrieving a mallet from a drawer and smashing it to pieces. She then grabbed her kitchen blow torch and melted the motherboard, sim and battery. She threw anything that remained in the bin and covered it with kitchen waste she had put aside from making dinner.
She yawned and decided it was time for bed. She had really spoken quite a bit over the phone, she even changed her vocabulary and speech pattern. Li Xiuying had no idea that she had coincidentally mimicked Lài Yongliang and because of this she made him the prime suspect in the mind of Chong Honghui.
She sleepily sang the theme song of her favorite periodic drama on her way to bed: ” ~ Challengers will come and go to knock the queen off her throne ~ The outcome of the battles long foretold, already known ~ She will always win, her victory sung as she creates dust by grinding enemy bones~”
...
Whilst Li Xiuying was enjoying her time in the the land of nod, others were destined for sleepless nights instead.
Chong Honghui had been frantically driving from one side of the city to another. He had dropped Jia Kuai Hua off and then driven all the way to Huang hotel.
He was now restlessly standing in front of the door of the penthouse suite.
Eventually a topless Zhōu Shàoqiáng opened the door.
Zhōu Shàoqiáng: ”Weren't you spending time with your sweetheart tonight?” He opened the door fully and headed to his bedroom to put on a t-shirt.
Chong Honghui walked in and closed the door behind him. He went to the living room and poured himself a drink.
Zhōu Shàoqiáng returned and reclined leisurely on the sofa: ”Woman problems?”
Chong Honghui downed the contents of his glass and poured himself another. He also poured a drink for Zhōu Shàoqiáng and handed it to him before sitting opposite.
