Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 168 Excellent Charm with Women_1

A night had passed, and the attempted assassination of Xiao Ming while Cao Bangxi was holding him hostage remained unknown to those who should not know, but almost everyone who had the means to know was aware of it.

Thus, even before the sky was fully lit, Xiao Ming was awakened by the vibration of his cell phone.

Once he answered, Zhou Qingyuan’s voice came through, "I’m downstairs at your place."

Xiao Ming glanced at his wife beside him, got up, went to the balcony, waved to the girl downstairs, and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"No. I rushed over as soon as I got the news. Are you alright?"

"That’s perfect," Xiao Ming scratched his butt through his pants, "help me buy some breakfast from outside the community gate—enough for four... uh, five... no, make it six people!"

Xiao Ming sounded very helpless because he had just seen Yun Shi Yu and Shen Siyi’s cars arriving one after another. freewebnøvel.com

"Your grandma is worried sick about you, speeding and running red lights all the way here, and you... you’re asking me to buy breakfast?" Zhou Qingyuan was both aggrieved and angry.

"If you don’t want to buy it, let Yu go; she’s right behind you," Xiao Ming yawned, his voice weak and tired.

Zhou Qingyuan turned her head and saw a Maserati Quattroporte followed by a 911 parked in sequence. Yun Shi Yu jumped out of the car with a look of tension and urgency on her face.

"How is Xiao Ming? Have you seen him?"

Zhou Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and walked away.

Yun Shi Yu asked in confusion, "Where are you going?"

Zhou Qingyuan pointed up without turning her head and said, "That bastard sent me to buy breakfast."

Yun Shi Yu looked up and saw Xiao Ming waving, "Hi! Yu, Siyi, good morning!"

Some fifteen minutes later, Xiao Ming’s family of three, along with Zhou Qingyuan, Yun Shi Yu, and Shen Siyi, were all seated at the dining table.

To be precise, it was a folding round table that only got used when guests came over for holidays and celebrations.

Jiang Yonghan had no clue what had happened but sensed the strange atmosphere. However, when he saw his daughter smiling and greeting the guests and then looked at his son-in-law yawning non-stop with tears flowing, he felt relieved again.

As long as the two children were fine, nothing else mattered.

After an inexplicably awkward breakfast, Jiang Yonghan and Jiang Xue both drove off to work. Xiao Ming then laughingly said to the three, "If only we had mahjong at home, it would be perfect for four people to play together."

Zhou Qingyuan, who had the shortest temper, slammed her hand on the table and snapped, "You better start explaining what happened swiftly, or else I’ll treat you like a mahjong tile and play you!"

"What’s there to explain?"

Xiao Ming slumped on the sofa, "Just that last night I was tricked by Cao Bangxi into the middle of nowhere and nearly met my maker, but luckily, by the grace of God, I came out unharmed. That’s all."

"Bullshit!"

Zhou Qingyuan quickly stepped forward and straddled his stomach, which caused Yun Shi Yu to furrow her brows and Shen Siyi to be full of excitement.

"You’re shrewder than a monkey, how could Cao Bangxi ever fool you?"

"Goddammit! You’re gonna squish the breakfast out of me, get off!"

"I won’t get off! If you don’t start talking, do you believe I’ll just deal with you right here and now?"

Zhou Qingyuan was no ordinary girl. Xiao Ming had experienced her untamed spirit in his past life and knew that when her temper flared up, she was capable of anything.

"Siyi..."

Xiao Ming tried to seek help from Shen Siyi, but upon looking up, he saw him already busy filming with his phone, so he had no choice but to turn to Yun Shi Yu for assistance.

"Yu, are you just going to stand by and watch?"

Yun Shi Yu shifted her gaze, her lips parting slightly, "I definitely won’t just stand by and watch, but, I... I might actually help Miss Zhou."

Hearing this, Shen Siyi immediately got so excited he almost started fidgeting, wishing he could call Yang Hanqing, Bai Xuechao, and Gu Xiangmeng to witness the scene.

Xiao Ming sighed and said to Zhou Qingyuan, "I’m fine, nothing happened, just knowing this is enough. Don’t be too curious about everything, not telling you is for your own good."

"What will happen after we tell you?" Yun Shi Yu asked.

"Maybe I’ll end up going to jail."

Zhou Qingyuan immediately glared, "You suspect we’d betray you?"

"None of you have undergone interrogation training, and even if you have no intention of betraying me, it does not guarantee you won’t be tricked into spilling the beans.

The most important thing is, this matter is rather shady, and all of you are promising heirs to wealthy families. It’s not beneficial for you to get too involved in secrets like mine from the underworld."

Zhou Qingyuan fell silent.

After a while, Yun Shi Yu said, "Alright! If you don’t want to tell us, we won’t ask. But if you still consider us your friends, don’t shoulder everything on your own in the future.

We’re not just hanging out with you to do business and make money."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Shen Siyi finally spoke up, "Dealing with Wet Crotch was so much fun, Ming, you should have called me to join!"

"I saw him stab a knife straight into his mother’s heart," Xiao Ming’s voice was low, "do you still find it fun?"

All three of them shook suddenly and were left speechless.

To them, patricide or matricide was something that should only exist in novels and movies; to suddenly hear about an acquaintance committing such an act was instinctively absurd and at the same time, a quiet fear took root in their hearts.

"Brother, I’m a bit cold."

Zhou Qingyuan took the opportunity to lean on Xiao Ming’s body.

Yun Shi Yu could no longer hold back and stepped forward to grab her collar and yanked her up.

Zhou Qingyuan got angry, "Yun Shi Yu, what’s the matter with you? Want to start a fight?"

Shen Siyi quickly raised his phone again.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door. Xiao Ming sat up and asked, "Who is it?"

"Hello! I am from the police station. Is Mr. Xiao Ming at home?"

"The police? What are they doing at your place?"

The three individuals, Zhou Qingyuan included, began to feel nervous subconsciously.

Xiao Ming chuckled, "Look at you lot; you’ve got no nerve. I don’t know why they’re here, but it’s certainly nothing serious.

You all should leave. Get to work if you have to, mess around if that’s on the agenda; I’ll go to the company in the afternoon, and we can talk more then."

With that, he went to the door and opened it to find a woman standing outside the security door, which made him pause.

"Are you the police?"

"Security Bureau Special Investigation Department, Ding Jianwei." The woman flashed her badge with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, hello! May I come in?"

Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow and pushed open the security door, "Of course, please come in. No need to change your shoes."

"Thank you!"

When Ding Jianwei entered and saw Zhou Qingyuan and the others, she chuckled, "So many friends came to visit you early in the morning; it seems Mr. Xiao is quite popular!"

"Officer Ding flatters me. They are just business associates checking in to see if I’m dead yet," Xiao Ming joked and then waved to the three of them, "All right, you all should go now, don’t hold up my business."

Shen Siyi was the most obedient, smiling at Ding Jianwei as he left; next was Yun Shi Yu, who gave a nod without expression; Zhou Qingyuan kicked Xiao Ming and then snorted coldly at Ding Jianwei before leaving with her head held high.

"I need to correct something I said earlier."

As Xiao Ming closed the door, Ding Jianwei said, "To be precise, Mr. Xiao, your charm with the ladies is even better.

Now, I believe there really is something going on between you and Wan Xingping’s wife, Hu Xiaotong."
