Chapter 53 Doing Things That Can't Be Seen
"It's here! It's here......" Under the circumstances, Tong Mai could only respond perfunctorily, trying to stall for time, tugging on Huo Yize's sleeve, sometimes pulling him behind the curtains and sometimes hiding in the bathroom...
"No, no... it's too dangerous here. Yes, this is the safest place!" She pointed to the wardrobe.
Daitong Mai has found a safe place, but Huo Yize hasn't moved. He looked at the wardrobe and then glanced at Daitong Mai again. Could it be that he was told to hide in the cabinet?
"Don't even think about it! I'm right here, you go open the door!" Huo Yize's hands were elegantly clasped in front of his chest, with an air of composure that would not be ruffled even if Mount Tai were to crumble before him. This made Tong Mai so angry he was jumping up and down.
"Huo Yize, do you know who the people outside are? It's your fiancée and your future mother-in-law... Have you thought about what will happen after opening the door?"
The little wheat looked back at the door that was being knocked on loudly, while patiently talking to He Yi Ze, anxious and impatient, with all sorts of emotions mixed together. Fortunately, she was still standing upright and hadn't fallen down yet...
"What will happen? The result is that they came in, and I can ask them to help me interrogate you, where is my watch?" His face couldn't find a trace of fear, but instead had such a relaxed expression, making Tong Mai's scalp feel numb.
"Uh... right, the watch. I'll tell you where the watch is. Can you help me out just this once? Sorry to trouble President Ho, just hide for a bit... just a little while..."
Her voice softened, she raised a finger, pitifully begging, this tone was also the first time since Ho Yi Ze knew her, except for that night in London, to speak to him with such a soft and gentle tone.
There's no way out now, with the knife at her throat, she can't yield or resist, what else can she do?
Staring at Tong Mai's sweat-drenched face, her panicked expression, he actually wavered for a moment... not because of the watch, nor anything else, but purely because of her delicate face, which was both lovely and pitiful, and hateful, evoking a pang of sympathy.
"How's that? Please, okay? Tomorrow... no, after they leave I'll tell you right away where the watch is. Sorry... I didn't mean to take your watch, hehe... I originally wanted to return it to you, but I didn't expect you to come looking for me so soon."
Liar! Liar! She's lying again!
And now she's become someone who lies all day long...
Huò Yì Zé's disdainful gaze revealed his distrust of her, and he curled up the corner of his lips. His fingertips lightly wiped away the sweat beads on her forehead. This action was clearly intended to tease her, yet his fingertips ignited infinite heat due to this contact, rapidly spreading to every corner of his body...
Tong Mai also dodges and evades, rarely giving her this treatment, she doesn't eat soft food but eats hard food!
"Alright? You're not saying anything, so I'll take that as a yes." She asked tentatively, and had already started pulling him back to the door...
"Tong Mai... open the door... this dead girl must be doing something that can't be seen in the light..." Chen Yuhua was so angry that her face had already turned green and purple.
"Mom, let's go to sleep! It's so late, shouting is not suitable, and Yizhe is still sleeping in the guest room, waking him up is not good!" Yin Yuqi tried to press her mother to stop making noise.
"Yes, Yize is also here. Go to his room and see if he's been woken up? Talk to him nicely. This girl won't open the door... I'll get someone to pry it open." Chen Yuhua refused to give up and tried to shoo away Yin Yuqi.
Wow, still have to go knock on He Yi Ze's door, if he's not there, wouldn't that be even more miserable?
Tong Mai felt like he was about to go crazy at this moment, fortunately, Huo Yize was still somewhat cooperative this time. "Please, thank you, don't make a sound! Shh..." He put his index finger on his lips and made a "quiet" gesture.
"Wait, I'll help you, what's in it for me?" He was a shrewd and capable businessman, even in everyday life, he wouldn't forget to show off the "fairness" and "reciprocity" that was in his bones.
"What benefits do you want? Alright, let's put it this way, whatever you want, we'll discuss later. But one condition: today, you absolutely cannot be discovered." As soon as he finished speaking, the closet door slammed shut with a "bang". The person seeking help actually had such an attitude... arrogant and domineering.
Huo Yize's face was dark and unspeakable, with a gloomy atmosphere... Moreover, this kind of thing, hiding in the closet, is the first time since childhood, if it gets out, people won't laugh their teeth off, that's for sure...
Yet, he unexpectedly acquiesced in a mysterious and inexplicable manner...
