Chapter 723: Inching Closer and Closer to the Truth! (5)
That person… That person…
His gaze landed on Zhuang Nainai again.
A girl’s transformation into a woman was very significant, so he couldn’t really recognize Zhuang Nainai. However, that person had not changed at all even after five years, so he could recognize that person immediately!
Hu Zi was so scared that he hid inside the truck before scanning his surroundings again.
It could be because he had been to prison or he had been beaten up too much that he was extremely alert. Very quickly, he sensed that there were many bodyguards hidden in the surroundings!
Were all these people here to arrest him?
Hu Zi immediately lowered his baseball cap and left speedily.
They said they only want to know the truth. F*ck you, that must be a lie!
They surely want to silence and kill me!
There was a wall that just so happened to block Ding Mengya, who was sitting opposite Zhuang Nainai, from Hu Zi’s current position. Hence, he was completely unaware that someone was sitting opposite of Zhuang Nainai.
After Li Yufeng left, Zhuang Nainai could not help but look at her phone. It had been five minutes since the arranged meeting time.
Hu Zi had already stood her up once last time. Was he going to do it again?
Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows.
Meanwhile, Ding Mengya picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke to the bodyguards. “Is there any suspicious person approaching?”
The bodyguards answered, “No one is approaching.”
Ding Mengya frowned. “Is this Hu Zi going to stand us up again?”
Zhuang Nainai felt slightly infuriated. This Hu Zi was so irresponsible. What did he see them as for him to fool them like n.o.body’s business?
Ultimately, she still bore hatred toward Hu Zi. No matter what kind of reasons he had, didn’t he still hit Mother Zhuang with a car back then?
As Zhuang Nainai thought of this, she took in a deep breath to suppress her fury before she continued to stare at her phone.
After around half an hour, Zhuang Nainai confirmed that Hu Zi would not be coming, so she grabbed her phone and gave him a call.
The moment the phone rang, the call was hung up. Zhuang Nainai became vicious and sent him a message straight away. “I know you are fearless, but aren’t you scared that you would implicate your friend? He actually gives you his meager income every single month!”
This message was indeed effective. Within one minute of her sending the message, she received Hu Zi’s call.
When the call went through, Hu Zi’s voice could be heard. “What do you want?”
Zhuang Nainai answered, “I just want to know the truth.”
“The truth? Who are you lying to? Do you think I’m a three-year-old kid? Tell the person you are with right now that I will not tell anyone anything about what happened last time. Since I accepted the money, I will keep this secret for her!”
After she heard this, Zhuang Nainai’s eyes narrowed!
Keep this secret for her?!
For whom?
The person she was with…
Her gaze immediately landed on Ding Mengya. Her?!
Zhuang Nainai suddenly gripped the phone with force. “Hu Zi, where exactly are you? Come here. Are you seeing things wrongly? You…”
Before she could finish speaking, he hung up the call.
Zhuang Nainai was stupefied. Looking at her phone, she dialed his number again, but he had already switched off his phone.
Zhuang Nainai took in a deep breath. With an unwavering gaze, she looked at Ding Mengya in disbelief.
Although Zhuang Nainai did not switch on speaker mode, the voice was still rather loud. Hence, Ding Mengya, who was sitting opposite her, had heard everything clearly.
Upon seeing Zhuang Nainai’s expression, she frowned immediately. “Nainai, there is something fishy about this!”
