Chapter 82: Chapter 82 When Did I Go HomeWhen Nangong Bing woke up, it was already the next morning. "Where is this? I..." Nangong Bing felt a burning pain on her face, and as soon as she touched it, tears almost rolled out in response to the pain. "Oh! Boss, you’re up so early?" Lin Zifeng, who had just come out from the restroom, approached with a beaming smile. "You... I..." Nangong Bing squinted her eyes. Her head was still hurting, and she couldn’t articulate what had happened. She clearly remembered being saved by the bronze mask man last night, so how did she end up in her own villa now? Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. What was even more infuriating was having to see that detestable face first thing in the morning, and to top it off, he was smiling so smugly. "Eh? Cousin, when did you come back? Why didn’t you go to your room to sleep last night? Why did you sleep on the couch?" Hua Buqi, who had just woken up, bounced out of her room humming a tune. She discovered her cousin had not returned last night, and had been about to call her when she found Nangong Bing lying on the couch. Could it be that her cousin had fallen in love with the couch and no longer liked to sleep in a bed? "How... How did I get back last night?" Nangong Bing shook her head, still feeling dizzy. "I don’t know. I was dead asleep last night and didn’t notice anything." The girl pouted her cute lips and yelled at Lin Zifeng, "You beast! When did you go to sleep last night? Do you know when the cousin came back?" Ugh... Why does this girl have to drag me into this every time? Did we have some unresolved grudge in a past life? "How would I know? Boss said she was going to meet a client last night and ditched me halfway, forcing me to walk a long way back! I was so tired I could barely breathe, and I even had to look after you, like some high priestess. Heaven knows when the boss actually came back." Lin Zifeng lay back on the couch with a cigarette in his mouth, too lazy to get involved with a look that said, "It’s none of my business." However, the more nonchalant he acted, the more perplexed Nangong Bing became. Could it really have been the bronze mask man who brought me back last night? Just thinking of the bronze mask man made Nangong Bing’s heart skip a beat! Could there really be such strange people in the world? "Cousin, why is your face turning blue?" Just then, as Hua Buqi scratched her little forehead and plopped down in front of Nangong Bing, she was shocked to see her cousin’s face half blue. "This... This..." Nangong Bing touched her face and hurriedly ran to the restroom. When she saw the blue mark on her rosy cheeks in the mirror, she became even more certain that it was the bronze mask man who had saved her last night! She clearly remembered that Sun Tianyang had tried to force himself on her, but at the critical moment, the bronze mask man appeared. Afraid she would be distressed by the gore, he knocked her out. She had no idea what had happened to Sun Tianyang afterward. And no clue what became of the bronze mask man either. But one thing was for sure, Lin Zifeng had killed Sun Tianyang—and everyone in the seaside villa—and hadn’t left a single trace. When it came to killing and erasing evidence, Zifeng had a thousand ways to make Sun Tianyang disappear without anyone realizing it... When exactly did he bring me back? How did I not notice anything? And how come nobody in the villa noticed? Nangong Bing looked blankly at her reflection, but each time she recalled the faint tobacco scent that emanated from the bronze mask man’s body, she found it eerily familiar. Especially the man’s voice, which was magnetic; though it sounded aged, it carried a weight of experience. For a woman of Nangong Bing’s stature, perhaps only someone like the bronze mask man was truly her match! Nangong Bing thought more and more and felt a chill in her heart. To think that there could be such extraordinary people in the world! However, after this incident, it seemed that Nangong Bing was still too green for the business world—despite her years of struggle overseas, she had focused all her energy on the marketplace after returning to the country. But as the saying goes, ’often walking by the river, there’s no way to not wet your shoes.’ The real business world was not as simple as just doing business. ... "You beast, didn’t you notice anything wrong with my cousin’s face? Do you know what time she came back last night?" Hua Buqi asked, tilting her cute head. "I know shit! Do you still honor the bet you lost to me yesterday? How about it? Perform two pieces right here, right now, and let’s see how that slim waist of yours twists." Lin Zifeng said with a milk mustache, smiling at Hua Buqi. "Dance on your face! Humph!" Upon hearing Lin Zifeng mention the bet again, the girl didn’t say another word and angrily marched back to her room with her head held high. "Damn!" It looks like the logic that ’busty means brainless’ still works in this era! The girls with smaller chests are actually the smarter ones. Lin Zifeng cursed the girl’s shamelessness in his heart; she was even more shameless than he was, seeing that yesterday’s bet was a fraud. After a short while, Nangong Bing applied some light makeup in the bathroom—makeup that was usually worn by Hua Buqi for events. Nangong Bing had never used makeup before. Today, she had no choice but to cover up her face a bit. "Yo! Boss, why are you all dolled up today?" Seeing Nangong Bing come out frowning, Lin Zifeng hurriedly did not forget to tease her. He also needed to give some compliments—otherwise, he would have to walk and squeeze on the bus to work today. "Lin Zifeng, can I ask you something?" "...?" Lin Zifeng was taken aback, wondering what Nangong Bing meant by that. She couldn’t have guessed his identity from last night, could she? Crap! Lin Zifeng felt a chill in his heart, slightly afraid that Nangong Bing had seen through everything about last night. If that were the case, the little mystery he had would be truly over. "What—what is it?" Lin Zifeng looked at her. In his mind, he was already imagining all sorts of fabricated excuses to fob her off later. "Are you satisfied with your current job?" Nangong Bing asked. "It’s okay," Lin Zifeng nodded, not refusing. "Do you want to rise to prominence overnight?" Nangong Bing was very pleased with his response, nodded, and looked at him with a smile. She had already grasped his psychology completely; he would definitely continue to answer her questions. "Of course!" Lin Zifeng nodded earnestly and said, "Who doesn’t want to rise to prominence?" Now Lin Zifeng was even more puzzled, not knowing what she really wanted to ask.
