Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 1198: Chapter 1170: Qian Digs a Pit and Buries Herself (Extra for 1,300 Monthly Tickets)

Yu Minglang, full of fighting spirit, and Qian, with her mischievous thoughts, secretly laughed in their hearts at the same time, neither believing they would lose.

Qian, determined to completely outwit her husband, spent the next two days very comfortably. She went shopping with Mrs. Yu and Da Yi. Although Da Yi had entered the late stages of pregnancy, she was still quite agile, and the three of them had a pleasant time shopping and buying things.

Qian fooled her mother-in-law by saying she wanted freshly squeezed juice. So Mrs. Yu went downstairs to buy it for her and Da Yi. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qian dragged Da Yi into a store that sold unspeakable clothing.

Seeing those clothes made Da Yi’s face turn red. She tugged at Qian’s sleeve and whispered, ”Qian, isn’t it inappropriate for you to buy this now?”

”Appropriate, why not?” To give her husband a hard time, Qian’s playful spirit was at its peak. While her mother-in-law was away, she quickly instructed the salesperson to wrap up two pieces. Just as she finished buying, her phone rang.

”Qian, we caught Mu Xiaofeng.”

Yu Minglang’s words on the other end of the line made Qian’s hand tremble, and the newly wrapped unspeakable, half-transparent items fell to the floor.

”What did you say?!”

”We caught her. As per the agreement, you know what to do tonight. Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you, hahaha!”

Even over the phone, his extremely proud laughter could be heard.

Qian still wanted to ask how they caught her, but someone on the other end called Yu Minglang to a meeting. He said he’d tell her the details when he got home in the evening, and of course, reminded Qian to accept the bet and accept the loss!

”This is too...” Qian hung up the phone, feeling completely defeated.

She believed her husband was capable, but not to such an incredible extent. It had only been two days.

”Um, can I return this?” Qian asked the salesperson, pointing to the unspeakable items on the floor, with a mourning face.

The salesperson smiled warmly, ”Sorry, ma’am, our products are special category, no returns or exchanges once sold!”

”Qian, what’s going on with you?”

Da Yi was completely confused. The one who was mischievously buying these was Qian, and now the one wanting to return them was still Qian. What was Qian thinking?

”Nothing, it’s just...”

She dug a hole for herself and buried herself in it!

Yu Minglang came home very late that night. Qian, feeling cold, curled up in her bed. The beauty had been assigned by Yu Minglang two days ago to lure out Mu Xiaofeng. Now, she was alone at home. Qian hadn’t expected Yu Minglang to act so quickly, nor did she expect Mu Xiaofeng to take the bait so soon.

Just as she was thinking this, the door opened, and Yu Minglang entered from outside, bringing in a chill.

”Where is the beauty?” Qian asked when she saw he was back alone.

”It... let’s not talk about that now, Qian, I’m here to take you somewhere.”

”It’s past one in the morning, where are we going?”

”Mu Xiaofeng wants to see you.”

Using the beauty as bait, Yu Minglang forced Mu Xiaofeng to act step by step. Sure enough, Mu Xiaofeng sent someone to kill the dog and destroy the evidence, but as soon as her people arrived, they were controlled by Yu Minglang’s men. After a little interrogation, they confessed that Mu Xiaofeng had ordered them to kill the dog. Yu Minglang then coordinated with his counterparts in other departments and easily apprehended Mu Xiaofeng at her company.

She was caught in the evening, but didn’t say a word until late at night. The first thing she said was that she wanted to see Qian.

Yu Minglang briefly explained the situation to Qian, who frowned.

”How could Mu Xiaofeng get caught so easily? Someone as meticulous as her should have had a contingency plan. She would have run at the first sign of trouble. This is way too easy.”

The reason Qian set the bet for a week with such a big ”stake” for Yu Minglang was due to this logic. Someone capable of making such grand schemes wouldn’t have left themselves without a backup plan.

In fact, Yu Minglang also didn’t expect it to be so easy, which baffled him.

”In any case, she now only wants to see you. She refuses to cooperate with us, even though we already have enough evidence to prove she was one of the culprits behind harming the beauty’s trainer. However, if she could cooperate and reveal some details about their organization, it would be helpful. Qian, we’re counting on you.”

Qian nodded. Yu Minglang fetched her a thick down coat, wrapping her up snugly before taking her out.

When they arrived, someone talked with Yu Minglang. After confirming Qian’s identity, Yu Minglang personally escorted her into the interrogation room.

Mu Xiaofeng sat in a special chair, handcuffed, but still maintained her usual calm and collected demeanor. If it weren’t for the setting, Qian would think she was still meeting the businesswoman she knew in the study.

Seeing Qian and the formally dressed Yu Minglang, Mu Xiaofeng merely curled her lips, ”Mr. Chen, you deceived me. You said your husband was just an inconsequential warehouse keeper, yet this ’warehouse keeper’ brought people to arrest me.”

She gestured to her handcuffed hands.

”Mrs. Mu, you deceived me first. You also never told me about all the unconscionable things you’ve done.”

”Let’s not talk about how many wrongs I’ve done to others, but towards you, I have a clear conscience. Mr. Chen, have I ever wronged you? You took such a high salary from me and still schemed against me—where is your medical ethics?”

Upon hearing this, Yu Minglang’s face hardened, ”Stop the nonsense! Those who sow evil will eventually reap it. My wife was just fulfilling her duty; you should stop trying to cloud the issue!”

He feared Qian might be mentally swayed by Mu Xiaofeng. This woman was vicious; even in this state, she wanted to evoke Qian’s guilt. His dear Qian was pregnant, and if she were swayed, it could harm her health.

Qian glanced at Yu Minglang, signaling to him that she was fine.

”Mrs. Mu, I admit you have treated me well, and I have done my best with my medical duties. As for your claim that I schemed against you, I disagree. Treating your father was my medical duty, while helping my husband catch the real culprit behind harming his friend was my moral duty. I consider myself a person of both moral and artistic perfection.”

Hearing Qian praise herself so bluntly, Xiaoqiang felt relieved.

His wife was a professional psychologist and wouldn’t be easily led by others.

”Such a morally and artistically perfect person!” Mu Xiaofeng laughed instead of getting angry. Her situation appeared to be beyond hope, yet she showed no signs of worry, still wearing that emotional mask she always had.

”Considering how well I’ve treated you, could we have a private conversation?”

Qian looked at Yu Minglang, who nodded.

This room had surveillance, and Mu Xiaofeng was restrained, so his wife would be safe inside.

”Alright.”

Once Yu Minglang left, Qian sat across from Mu Xiaofeng. Two equally intelligent women, neither of them spoke, just silently gazing at each other for a full 3 minutes, as if the atmosphere had frozen.
