Chapter 246 - WAITING FOR PRAISE
"Baby, I don't want to live here anymore." The coquettish words were followed by the loud pop of chewing gum.
The realtor, who was still lying on the floor, opened her eyes to those words. She looked and saw the couple outside the bedroom. The woman was nestled in her boyfriend's arms like a little bird, complaining in a coy manner.
The man did not speak, but his arm was holding the woman with care.
"Hey, look! The unprofessional woman is awake. We can finally leave." The pink lady shouted.
The realtor felt embarrassed about what had happened. She could not figure out how she had felt so lightheaded. Her body had felt heavy, and the next thing she knew, she was waking up. She could not fault the couple for not wanting to continue with their search for an apartment with her.
"I would like to sincerely apologise for this incident. I must have been unwell and did not realise it." She said with a slight bow.
Hu Lei felt a little guilty, but she was also a little miffed about how the woman had been eyeing Zhong Feng earlier. So, she just huffed and turned away.
After that, there was not much talking between the two parties. The realtor watched as they entered their flashy vehicle and left. There was a hint of regret on her face because she knew that they would not come back.
In the vehicle, Hu Lei laughed a little with glee. She had missed the excitement of hoodwinking people. It was the one lesson she had really enjoyed when she had been studying in Japan.
"So, did you find anything interesting?" She asked Zhong Feng.
"Not much. She has retained a couple of recordings of various people in the entertainment industry for blackmail. She has also been receiving some money from an overseas account. I have left a little something on her devices so that we can monitor any action regarding the video."
Hu Lei nodded before looking at Zhong Feng with smugness. "I might have an idea about who has been giving her money."
She opened her coat and indicated to an envelope she had hidden in her inner pockets.
"What is it?" Zhong Feng asked.
Hu Lei blushed a little. "It is incriminating photos of a certain daughter of an important person in Britain. If the photos were released, the effect would not be small on the political scene."
She looked at Zhong Feng expectantly, waiting for praise.
"I also found three memory sticks." She added.
Looking at the large, bright eyes, Zhong Feng felt like his heart was drowning in warmth. She was his little ray of sunshine. He was always overwhelmed by the fact that she was his.
"My wife is the cleverest." He said, lifting a hand to pat her head.
Even though the praise was not exorbitant and poetic, Hu Lei was exceptionally satisfied. She was like a proud little kitten, lifting her tail and head.
"The next thing that we need to do is find out if there is another copy of the video. I will go to her ancestral home. It shouldn't be hard to find out what we need. Then, I will handle the final one at the airport when she returns to Supreme." Hu Lei said.
"I will go to the ancestral home with you." Zhong Feng said.
"You need to concentrate on the anniversary party for now. There are a lot of people watching you. If you do something out of the ordinary, it will bring unnecessary trouble." Hu Lei said.
"I do not like the idea of you going alone, especially with a target on your back." He could not help expressing his concern as they left the car.
"Ah-Feng, you also have a target on you. I can handle it. Anyway, I was planning on inviting my senior from Japan to accompany me. He is around the town, and he owes me a few favours."
Zhong Feng was silent. He knew that she was probably right, but he felt worried/
When they entered the house, they found that the atmosphere was weird, and housekeeper Li was standing stiffly in the living room. He seemed to want to say something, but did not know how. Their eyes drifted to the couch and saw a man sipping on tea while flipping a magazine casually.
On seeing him, Zhong Feng immediately took out a gun from beneath his ridiculous cloak and pointed it at the intruder while at the same time pushing Hu Lei behind him. He did not know how this man from the Shadow Brotherhood had found his way into his house.
The man did not seem threatened by the firearm. Instead, he gracefully placed the cup of tea on the table and put the magazine aside.
"Junior sister, brother-in-law, welcome home."
The realtor, who was still lying on the floor, opened her eyes to those words. She looked and saw the couple outside the bedroom. The woman was nestled in her boyfriend's arms like a little bird, complaining in a coy manner.
