My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 2040: Chapter 2040: The Terrifying Phone Call

After eating and drinking their fill, Cao Xin and the others were ready to find a nearby hotel and get some rooms.

Those two bodyguards who had woken up no longer dared to have the slightest complaint about Lin Yi; they were practically treating him like an ancestor to be worshipped. They waited on him carefully the whole way, scared that Lin Yi might call Ah hua out again.

Cao Xin and the others didn’t go back to the hospital, and instead followed Lin Yi to stay at the hotel.

Compared to the hospital, the hotel environment was definitely more comfortable, and it was also much more convenient to move around, without so many restrictions.

After a night passed, Cao Xin went to find Lin Yi again.

Lin Yi got up even earlier than he had imagined. When Cao Xin rang his doorbell, Lin Yi immediately came over fully dressed to open the door.

"Good morning, Master Lin."

Cao Xin greeted him very attentively.

However, Lin Yi didn’t appreciate it at all. With a very aloof look, he didn’t say a word and just turned around and went back to sit in the living room.

Cao Xin didn’t get annoyed. After closing the door, he went over and sat down beside him. "Master Lin, you can pretty much make your move today. Do you need me to help with any preparations on my side?"

"No need, you just need to give me their photos." Lin Yi shook his head. "I’ll handle the rest for you."

Hearing this, Cao Xin nodded. "Alright then, I’ll go ahead and wish Master Lin a triumphant victory in advance."

After he finished speaking, he handed the photos of Mo Anna and Xiao Zheng to Lin Yi.

Mo Anna’s photos could easily be found online.

As for Xiao Zheng’s photo, it was that blurry one taken from the surveillance footage.

After Lin Yi took the photos and glanced at them, he couldn’t help but frown. "Why is the man’s photo so blurry? You don’t have a clearer one?"

"Sorry, Master, this is the only photo of him I have." Cao Xin said with a bitter smile.

Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but shake his head. "Forget it. Since you don’t have other photos, I can’t force it. I’ll make my move tonight—kill this woman first, then deal with this last man."

"Once it’s done, I won’t contact you again. I’ll go straight back to Xiangnan."

Hearing this, Cao Xin nodded and said, "That’s up to you. As long as you can help me kill the two of them, that’s enough!"

"Don’t worry about that. Since I took your money, I’ll definitely get it done properly." Lin Yi said with absolute confidence. "I’m completely sure that after they’re dead, no one will suspect you."

"Thank you so much, Master Lin!" Cao Xin said, somewhat excited.

Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Alright, don’t stay here and bother me. I need to conserve my strength now so I can carry out the job better tonight."

Hearing that he was basically being kicked out, Cao Xin didn’t dare waste even a second. He stood up, took his leave, and left.

As time quietly slipped by, night fell once again.

Qianqiu Group.

In the entire building, there were still quite a few places with lights on.

Xiao Zheng, looking exhausted, returned to his office. After resting with his eyes closed for a moment, he was about to go home. But just then, Mo Anna appeared in his office.

"So? You just finished the meeting, how are you holding up?"

Mo Anna asked with a smile as she walked toward him.

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng said weakly, "Meetings are really the worst, especially those few vice chairmen—nagging away and saying nothing but crap. A meeting that could’ve been wrapped up in an hour got dragged out to three. I really have to hand it to them."

Hearing his complaints, Mo Anna couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh. "You just don’t have enough patience. You’ve only attended this kind of meeting once. As for me, I have to attend at least four or five of these a month."

"That’s really hard on you then." Xiao Zheng said.

There wasn’t the slightest trace of teasing in that line; it came completely from how much he felt for how hard Mo Anna worked.

After sitting through today’s meeting, Xiao Zheng finally realized how tough Mo Anna’s usual workload was.

Mo Anna smiled slightly, then said, "Alright, don’t lie around in the office. If you’re tired, hurry home and get some rest. Don’t end up falling asleep in the office and catching a cold."

A Peak of Supreme Realm expert catching a cold?

Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh.

But he was still very moved by Mo Anna’s concern. "Come on, let’s go home together. Oh right, do you have any plans tonight? Want to grab dinner together?"

Hearing this, Mo Anna shook her head. "Let’s do dinner another day. It’s already so late, Ruobing must still be waiting for you at home."

Seeing her turn him down, Xiao Zheng didn’t say anything more.

The two of them then left the company together.

After they reached the parking lot, they went their separate ways.

Xiao Zheng drove home all the way without any traffic.

By the time he got home, it was already after nine in the evening.

Seeing Xiao Zheng come home so late, Chu Xiaoran helped him hang up his coat while asking, "Xiao Zheng, why are you getting off work so late today? Is the company really busy lately?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng said helplessly, "It’s alright, it’s just that we had a really, really long meeting that didn’t end until eight-thirty. Honestly, I never expected those executives to be that good at talking."

Hearing his complaints, Leng Ruobing, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn’t help but have a faint smile appear on her face. "They’re just doing their job. Everyone just wants to improve the company’s performance."

"I know, I’m not actually blaming them." Xiao Zheng smiled, then asked, "Oh right, have you two eaten yet?"

"We ate ages ago. Don’t tell me you haven’t had dinner yet?" Chu Xiaoran asked in surprise.

Xiao Zheng nodded. "I really did want to have dinner, but those vice chairmen wouldn’t let me go, so there was nothing I could do."

"I’ll cook you some noodles." Leng Ruobing slowly supported her waist as she stood up from the sofa.

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng hurriedly said, "No need, I’ll do it myself. You should sit and rest. I wouldn’t dare have you running around. Let me handle something like cooking noodles."

With that, he walked into the kitchen.

Watching Xiao Zheng’s busy figure in the kitchen, a faint smile appeared on Leng Ruobing’s face again.

But just then, the phone in Xiao Zheng’s coat hanging by the door suddenly started ringing, and Xiao Zheng’s voice came from the kitchen: "Xiao Ran, help me pick up the phone."

After answering him, Chu Xiaoran took his phone out of the coat pocket.

But after she connected the call and a couple of seconds passed, her face suddenly went deathly pale!
