Chapter 131 - The Monitor Was Broken
Mu Cheng signaled for her to hush.
Elina was taken aback. What was his plan? Was he not going to expose me?
“What's going on?” Loong Xiaoyi suddenly turned around.
“I'm fine,” Mu Cheng replied calmly.
Mu Cheng remained composed and discreetly returned the ashtray to its place on the table.
Mu Cheng's expression revealed nothing, so Loong Xiaoyi refrained from asking further. However, he glanced at Elina, who stood nearby, to gauge her reaction.
Loong Xiaoyi's hopes were dashed; Elina was skilled in concealing her emotions. She smiled at him and inquired, “What's happening?” Her voice remained steady, and her face exuded warmth.
Loong Xiaoyi scanned the room briefly and then said, “I'm alright.” With that, he turned to Mu Cheng and inquired, “Why are you here?”
“I came to remind you to finish work.”
Even if a leaf fell into the water, it would create ripples, yet Mu Cheng was as serene as a still pond.
Only after Mu Cheng's reminder did Loong Xiaoyi recall the situation. He quickly checked the time and left in haste, likely to buy groceries, as his preferred supermarket had a 7:00 PM discount.
Once Loong Xiaoyi departed, Elina finally let out a sigh of relief. She had been on edge moments earlier. When Loong Xiaoyi turned around, her acting skills had thankfully deceived him.
However, remembering that Jia Tianxia was still present, she immediately seized the ashtray with a determined look in her eyes.
Mu Cheng finally frowned and coldly confiscated the ashtray.
Elina grew frustrated, but before she could express her anger, Jia Tianxia suddenly questioned, “What's happening? Why can't I open it?”
Unable to open it?
Elina quickly shifted her gaze and realized that the screen was completely dark.
What was going on? Was the auction not going as planned? Or had something malfunctioned?
Elina felt a surge of joy. It seemed like fate was on her side.
Mu Cheng's expression remained unchanged as he observed the screen.
“Young Master Mu, why can't we view the security cameras in the Projector's Office?” Jia Tianxia inquired, visibly flustered.
Mu Cheng didn't respond immediately. He approached the keyboard and refreshed the screen, but it remained black. He replied coolly, “Perhaps it's broken.”
His countenance remained unruffled, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.
Jia Tianxia couldn't help but find Mu Cheng's composure somewhat unsettling.
This young man was as enigmatic as ever! He spoke sparingly and maintained an emotionless demeanor.
But now wasn't the time to focus on him.
“Can we still have Xiuxiu then?” Jia Tianxia asked anxiously.
“Even if it's repaired, there won't be any record of today's events.”
“Eh? Is that so?” Jia Tianxia was left dumbfounded.
“Yes.”
Oh no! What should he do? Without evidence, the police wouldn't take their claims seriously!
If he returned to the boss without proof, would he meet a dire fate?
Jia Tianxia shrank back at the thought of Mu Sifa's furious demeanor, fearing for his life.
Meanwhile, Elina couldn't contain her delight.
What an unexpected stroke of luck! She hadn't anticipated such a fortunate turn of events.
“Thank you,” she whispered to Mu Cheng, expressing her gratitude for intervening earlier.
Mu Cheng cast a cold, silent glance at her before departing, nearly infuriating Elina.
Outside, Mu Cheng sent a message from his phone and then made his exit.
