After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 1595: Chapter 1599: Is He Really Connected to Cobra?

”What is it?!” Leng Zirui’s voice bore a hint of curiosity.

”Seo Fei’s phone, picked up by Ah Jiu.”

Leng Zirui’s voice was tinged with excitement, ”Great, I’ll be there right away, about half an hour to your place.”

Seo Fei’s phone could very well hold clues, and for Leng Zirui, whose leads had run dry, this was definitely exciting news.

”I’ll wait for you.”

Leng Zimo hung up the phone, stood up, and walked into the guest room opposite to take a shower.

Twenty-eight minutes later, a military SUV roared in and stopped outside the farm gate.

Cheang Xiao, who was on night duty, came over with two subordinates, and seeing it was Leng Zirui, immediately opened the gate for him.

”Thanks!”

Leng Zirui slid down the car window and waved at him.

Cheang Xiao said nothing, merely nodded politely, then directed his two subordinates, the bodyguards, to let him through.

Leng Zirui continued to drive the car forward, his gaze sweeping the rearview mirror, catching Cheang Xiao’s profile. He slammed on the brakes, turned his face, and looked at Cheang Xiao not far away.

From this angle, he could just see half of Cheang Xiao’s profile.

That profile looked so familiar.

Fumbling in his pocket, Leng Zirui quickly pulled up the photo his subordinates had sent him earlier, the only picture of a crime suspect found at the hotel where Ji Li was murdered.

The photo was taken from too far away, and although technically processed, it remained very blurry, making it impossible to discern the person’s features. Yet, Leng Zirui sensitively felt the similarity between this photo and Cheang Xiao’s profile.

Putting away his phone, he pushed the car door open and got out, giving Cheang Xiao, who walked over, a glance, ”I was in such a rush today, I haven’t asked your name yet?”

”Cheang Xiao!” he announced his name.

”Leng Zirui!” Leng Zirui extended his hand, ”Please take care of me in the future.”

”You’re too kind.” Cheang Xiao looked at the outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment, then finally reached out to lightly grip his hand.

Feeling the calluses in his palm, Leng Zirui’s eyes quickly passed over his other hand and feet. Cheang Xiao’s other hand wasn’t relaxedly hanging but rather clenched into a fist, and both feet exuded tension.

Such a posture indicated full alertness.

Only those who had undergone professional training and countless dangerous situations would have such an instinctive reaction.

Leng Zirui withdrew his hand, smiled at him, then turned and went upstairs. Watching his back, Cheang Xiao frowned slightly.

Leng Zirui was observing him, and naturally he was observing Leng Zirui too. That smile just now from Leng Zirui had a clearly significant meaning.

”The gentleman is waiting for you in the study!” Ah Jiu greeted Leng Zirui politely.

”Alright.” Leng Zirui nodded at him and swiftly headed upstairs.

Cheang Xiao approached Ah Jiu, ”It seemed like he discovered something.”

”Don’t worry.” Ah Jiu lifted a hand to pat his shoulder, ”He and the gentleman have a good relationship, he won’t do anything against the gentleman.”

Upstairs.

Leng Zirui pushed open the study door, and Leng Zimo immediately tossed the phone over to him.

Raising a hand, he caught the phone, and lazily sat down on his desk.

”Anything special?”

Leng Zimo did not hide having checked the phone, ”There’s a call record with Luo Ke.”

”Luo Ke?!” Leng Zirui’s expression turned serious, ”Could he really be connected to Cobra?”

Leng Zimo picked up on the nuances of his tone, ”What do you mean?”
