Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 376: Chapter 373

Cheng Feiyu, upon hearing these words, unknowingly held her breath.

When she spoke again, she said, “Then what do you think we should do…?”

The assistant, upon hearing this, immediately leaned over and began to whisper in her ear.

To hinder and sabotage their relationship would definitely make Wen Xian suffer!

…

A car sped down the road and, upon arrival at the destination, the man with the Bluetooth earpiece spit out a few words: “Wait there for me.”

Once he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Shen Lin didn’t go to the office today; his injured arm made it inconvenient to do anything, so he simply stayed in his apartment, dealing with documents over the phone.

When Lu Xiao called saying he would come over, Shen Lin thought there had been progress in the investigation of that person.

The doorbell rang, and Shen Lin got up from the study to answer it.

His apartment was spacious with a flat layout, complete with a liquor cabinet, study, gym, and various other areas, all adorned in a simple monochrome scheme of black, white, and grey.

Lu Xiao stood outside the door, his handsome features slightly grim, brows furrowed, lips pressed lightly together.

Shen Lin was his good brother, but if he really did something to hurt his cousin, he couldn’t be blamed for being ruthless.

However, he still wanted to believe as much as possible that Shen Lin wouldn’t do such a thing.

At that moment, the door was suddenly opened from the inside—

Working from home, Shen Lin was not dressed formally, looking more casual in a robe with the sash tied around his waist.

Upon seeing Lu Xiao, he slightly curled his lips in a smile and, with the door wide open, stepped inside first: “Make yourself at home. So, how did it go, did that person confess?”

As soon as Lu Xiao entered, he fixed his gaze on him and then began to survey every corner of his apartment.

It seemed he wanted to see if there was anything suspicious.

Instead of answering his question, he spoke with a deep, indifferent tone, “Where did you go after you went home last night?”

Shen Lin took a bottle from the liquor cabinet, popped the cork with a bang, and filled a glass with clinking ice cubes.

After pouring two drinks, he approached, offering one to him:

“Why so serious? Have a drink. Where else could I have gone after getting injured last night? Of course, I went home.”

Having said that, he took a light sip first.

The chill of the liquid instantly made him alert, prompting him to stretch and flex his muscles.

He had indeed gone home the previous night, but an accident still occurred.

He had picked up a troublemaker, who tormented him to death, even kicking him hard this morning as he tried to explain.

If it weren’t for his quick reflexes, he might have been crippled by her kick.

Lu Xiao accepted the drink and scrutinized him carefully before asking, “Who were you with last night?”

The question was quite direct.

And he didn’t feel like beating around the bush, either.

Hearing this, Shen Lin laughed, teasingly saying,

“No way, when did our Captain Lu start taking an interest in my private life?”

As he spoke, he rubbed his nose with his finger, half-jokingly adding, “What else could I have been doing? You know I never lack for women.”

Indeed, he was with a woman last night, that underage-looking girl.

But he hadn’t done anything to her; instead, he looked after her all night like a fretful mother.

However, as these words fell—

The atmosphere around Lu Xiao suddenly turned frosty, his dark gaze grew sharp, and he instinctively tightened his grip on the glass:

“What happened between you two last night?”

Shen Lin faintly felt that something wasn’t quite right, sensing that Lu Xiao was too interested in his privacy.

But his motherly-esque experience, where was the worth in discussing that?

So—
