BXBX NOVEL Chapter 358 - Three -Hundred and Fifty-Eight: Bugged
Yun Nan was slightly confused about why Lin Yu was telling her all this. Lin Yu continued, “Everything, including Xi Cheng. I was extremely panicked when I found out he had another woman back then. I no longer have a home; I can’t lose Xi Cheng, too.”
Yun Nan frowned. She and Lin Yu weren’t that close; the woman was oversharing a little. Lin Yu lowered her head and said, “I know you all think I hurt Fang Xi. But Fang Xi wouldn’t have met Ye Kun if it wasn’t for that!
Therefore, all of this is just fate.”
Hearing that, Yun Nan was both furious and amused. She stood up and detachedly replied, “If that’s how you want to put it, then I suppose I have to thank you on Fang Xi’s behalf!”
Lin Yu stared up at Yun Nan, looking pitiful as she rebutted, “Why are you giving me such a hard time, Yun Nan? I’m also a victim here!”
Yun Nan tried her best to suppress her anger. “You should go demand an explanation from the person who harmed you instead of quibbling and twisting words here, seeking forgiveness from those irrelevant to the issue!”
Yun Nan pushed the door open and entered the ward. Lin Yu followed closely behind and stopped Yun Nan from closing the door. She forced her way in and anxiously cried out, “Yun Nan! Yun Nan, listen to me!”
Yun Nan took a step back. Lin Yu shut the door behind her, her eyes swiftly scanning the room before she raised her voice and agitatedly uttered, “That’s not what I mean, Yun Nan. You misunderstood! I-I truly mean no harm to you all, including Fang Xi! Fang Xi’s so outstanding; she can surely find someone better than Xi Cheng, don’t you agree?”
Yun Nan chuckled angrily, “You’re right! Ye Kun is indeed much better than Xi Cheng! Didn’t Ye Kun and Fang Xi already thank Xi Cheng for not marrying her? Or rather, it’s you they should thank! Fang Xi wouldn’t have gotten free from him so quickly if you hadn’t held onto and guarded Xi Cheng so persistently. I thank you on Ye Kun and Fang Xi’s behalf! Take care, and goodbye!”
Yun Nan opened the door, and Lin Yu immediately adopted the look of a bullied little woman. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I-I said the wrong thing again! I-I’ll come back another day to properly apologize to you.”
With that, Lin Yu turned around and left. Yun Nan turned back to look toward the hospital bed in the inner room and locked the ward door. Shi Ke opened his eyes when she entered the ward, his silent question clear in his gaze.
Yun Nan scowled, “It was Lin Yu. She waited outside the ward, said some strange things to me, and then forcefully barged in. She probably wanted to see you.”
Shi Ke didn’t say anything. He pressed his index finger to his lips and pointed at the phone in Yun Nan’s hand. Yun Nan handed it to Shi Ke, and he typed out a text message: “Be careful; she might be eavesdropping.”
Yun Nan froze and quickly understood. She pulled open the door of the inner room and raised her voice to say, “Lin Yu is so strange! What’s she trying to do? Apologizing one moment and threatening me the next! I don’t know what act she’s trying to put on! Shi Nian, please wake up. Even Auntie Xi has woken up!
When will you wake up?”
Yun Nan quickly checked all the places outside as she spoke. Lin Yu had only stood by the door and didn’t walk further in, so she’d most likely ‘dropped’ some things in the corner of the room.
Sure enough, Yun Nan soon found listening devices smaller than buttons behind the door of the inner room and under the sofa. She took a photo of them and showed them to Shi Ke on her phone. He gestured for her not to touch the listening devices. They might as well use this opportunity to feed them misinformation.
Yun Nan nodded and opened the door. She moved closer to the door—and the listening device—and remarked, “Xiang Yang went back to the army base. She’s worried about Big Brother; she said he’d accepted a particularly dangerous mission some time ago. Someone in his team got seriously injured, and Big Brother’s very angry. He swore he would capture those crooks and bring them to justice, and he’s now rigorously training his men day and night.”
“Shi Nian, can you hear me? Aren’t you always worried about Big Brother? Let’s persuade him to retire from the army when you wake up, okay? We’ll get him to come back to work at Shi Corporation. That’ll lighten your load and allow you more time to spend with me, and Xiang Yang won’t have to be on tenterhooks anymore. What do you think?”
Shi Ke gave Yun Nan a thumbs-up for her quick thinking. Yun Nan sent a WeChat message as she continued, “If you two brothers manage the Shi
Corporation together, we’ll definitely be more powerful than the Xi family. Look at how the Ye family thrives with Ye Kun and his brother working together. The Xi family is nothing in that respect by comparison.”
“I heard that Xi Cheng’s brothers and his sisters-in-law are unhappy with him because Madam Xi is biased towards Xi Cheng. Some even say they’re quite discontented about their family using their money—including the company funds—to aid the Lin family but didn’t dare speak out.. Now, Madam is sick; if she doesn’t get better soon, I fear Lin Yu and Xi Cheng’s good days will come to an end!”
