Chapter 318 An Elusive Calm
Half an hour later, at the Golden Scale Pavilion on the western half of the mountain.
As soon as the car stopped, Coco appeared and waved to us.
She was much more proactive than us in catching them in the act.
"Helen, that little bitch Zhang Piaopiao has been up there for over half an hour. It's perfect timing for us to go up now!"
As soon as we got off the bus, Coco ran up to us and started complaining.
"Coco, you did a great job this time. If you can really catch something, I'll give you two hundred thousand!" Li Hailun said.
"Thank you, Helen!"
Coco immediately thanked her, a flash of hatred crossing her eyes, and said, "Sister Helen, I don't really care about the money. I just think Zhang Piaopiao's actions are unethical. Doesn't she know her own place?"
"Alright, why say so much? Lead the way!" Xie Xiaohu interrupted Coco impatiently.
"Hehe, okay!"
Coco gave an awkward laugh, and Li Hailun grabbed her arm, saying, "Coco, don't mind him, Xiaohu is in a bad mood!"
"Sister Helen, I don't mind, I understand!" Coco nodded sensibly, and even glanced at Xie Xiaohu with a sympathetic look.
Do you think I need your understanding?
That one glance ignited Xie Xiaohu's anger.
"Little Tiger!"
Li Hailun glared at her son, then said to Coco, "Coco..."
"Sister Helen, I don't mind!"
Before Li Hailun could finish speaking, Coco sensibly interrupted her.
Li Hailun gave Coco a deep look and said, "Don't worry, you won't suffer!"
Coco nodded without saying anything and led the way.
Coco knew the place well and navigated the Golden Scale Pavilion smoothly, passing through security and access control.
In less than three minutes, we reached the top floor.
After exiting the elevator and arriving at the door, Coco didn't make a move, but instead turned around and glanced at Li Hailun.
"Open the door!"
Li Hailun said.
"Um!"
Coco nodded, opened the door, and then made way for her.
Li Hailun was the first to rush in, followed by Fatty Lin, then me and Long Nier, Xie Xiaohu was the second to last to go in, and Coco lagged behind.
The moment we entered, we saw Zhang Piaopiao and Xie Laosi, who were admiring the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Hearing the noise, Zhang Piaopiao turned around, saw us, let out a "ah," and instantly darted to the side, wrapping herself in the curtains.
Xie Laosi was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and questioned, "Why are you here?"
As he spoke, he bent down, picked up the clothes from the ground, and wrapped them around himself.
Putting everything else aside, I have to admire his composure.
It's as if we're not here to catch someone cheating, but rather to drop by and chat.
Lin the Fat and I exchanged a glance, and we both saw the word "admiration" in each other's eyes.
No wonder Xie Laosi has been a womanizer for decades. Putting aside everything else, his composure alone is enough to defeat more than 99% of people.
Last time we accompanied Sister Mary to catch Leung Wing-yan and Tung Ching-chau cheating, those two were terrified, and Leung Wing-yan didn't dare to say a word.
Looking at Xie Laosi, it's as if we're the ones who are wrong.
"Xie Laosi, are you even human?"
Li Hailun was stunned for a moment by Xie Laosi's composure. After regaining her senses, she rushed forward and slapped him across the face.
Xie Laosi's face twisted from the blow, a flash of anger instantly appearing in his eyes. He retaliated by slapping her back, shouting, "Li Hailun, we're divorced!"
The expected slap did not sound. Fatty Lin quietly stepped forward and grabbed Xie Laosi's hand.
"You dare hit me?"
Li Hailun looked at Xie Laosi's hand being grabbed, a smug glint in her eyes, and raised her hand to slap him again.
With a loud slap, Xie Laosi's other cheek also turned red.
"Li Hailun, I fucking..."
Xie Laosi's eyes instantly turned red, but when he saw Fatty Lin, his imposing manner subsided.
"What happened to me, huh?"
Li Hailun stepped forward, poked Xie Laosi's chest, and shouted, "I'm asking you! What did I do? Speak up!"
Xie Laosi gritted his teeth, forced a smile, and said, "Helen, we can talk things out ourselves. There's no need to make a fool of ourselves in front of outsiders!"
After saying that, he looked at Xie Xiaohu beside me and asked, "Isn't that right, son?"
"How dare you ask your son such a question?"
When Xie Laosi mentioned Xie Xiaohu, Li Hailun became even angrier and slapped him again.
Xie Laosi was knocked off balance and almost fell, but Lin Pangzi pulled him up and straightened him up, while Lin Pangzi still held his wrist.
"You shameless bastard!"
With Fatty Lin backing her up, Li Hailun was still not satisfied and slapped him again.
Xie Laosi's expression changed. He glanced at Fatty Lin, his anger quickly fading, and he forced a smile, saying, "Helen, I was wrong this time. Let's talk this out!"
"Brother, putting everything else aside, your acting skills in changing faces are unmatched by most people!" Long Ni'er whispered in my ear when she saw this.
"Um!"
I nodded and glanced at Xie Xiaohu. His face was so dark it looked like it could drip water, but he didn't say a word.
"What's the point of talking to you anymore?"
Li Hailun snorted, glanced sideways at Zhang Piaopiao who was wrapped in the curtains.
"Mom, Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Upon being looked at by Li Hailun, Zhang Piaopiao seemed to wake from a dream and scrambled over to apologize.
"You filthy bitch!"
Li Hailun kicked Zhang Piaopiao to the ground, cursed her, and then, still not satisfied, grabbed her hair and slapped her again.
Zhang Piaopiao was stunned by the beating and stared blankly at Li Hailun.
"You still dare to look at me?"
Seeing Zhang Piaopiao's gaze only fueled Li Hailun's anger, and she swung her hand, slapping him several times.
"What right did you have to hit me?"
After a few slaps, Zhang Piaopiao was awakened. Instead of begging for mercy, she pushed Li Hailun like a madwoman, causing Li Hailun to stumble.
Li Hailun was completely taken aback when Zhang Piaopiao dared to resist.
"What right do you have to hit me? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation today!"
Zhang Piaopiao, with her hair disheveled, screamed heart-wrenchingly, throwing the curtains aside, completely disregarding her image.
"Don't look!"
I never expected Zhang Piaopiao to go crazy, and I was watching with great interest. Just then, Long Nier pinched the soft flesh on my waist.
"Um!"
I obediently lowered my head and didn't look, since I had already seen it anyway.
I had already seen it when her story was first exposed.
However, seeing photos and seeing the real person are completely different experiences.
Seeing how obedient I was, Long Nier didn't make things difficult for me and let go of my hand.
Unlike me, Fatty Lin was quite happy watching, but Zhang Piaopiao was a woman, and Xie Xiaohu was still there, so he couldn't easily take action.
"You still dare to blame me?"
After realizing what had happened, Li Hailun's face was filled with disbelief.
"How can I not blame you?"
Zhang Piaopiao screamed like a madwoman, "If you hadn't tricked me into giving you your heart's blood, Xiaohu and I would still be in love. If we were in love, none of this would have happened!"
