Chapter 124: She’s The Woman From Five Years Ago, How Could She Be So Stunningly Beautiful! (X)
Chu Wuyou felt her heart beat hard. She failed to escape in the end – Ye Lanchen finally discovered her!!!
She could not fathom what it was that gave her away. Her perfect plan was flawless to the finest detail. How could he still recognize her?
The loosely fit outerwear she was wearing at that moment thoroughly covered all the curves on her body; the shoulder pads sewn onto the inner layer also completed the perfect disguise. Her hips even swayed exaggeratedly from left to right when she moved to portray a total opposite image of her usual self.
She did not believe Ye Lanchen could spot anything peculiar from her impeccable performance.
Could it be possible that Ye Lanchen was calling a bluff?
In a matter of seconds, numerous possibilities speculated in Chu Wuyou’s mind yet she still failed to understand why the former had called out to her.
Even if Ye Lanchen did not call out her name in particular, she feared it would only increase the former’s suspicions if she decided to not cooperate with his instruction.
Subconsciously, she darted her gaze to the front, only to realize there was still an obvious distance between herself and the exit. With Ye Lanchen’s speed, he would probably catch her within seconds if she chose to flee. Besides, she worried that Ye Lanchen had positioned his men on the exterior. In other words, death would be inevitable if she decided to run amok at this instant.
Ye Lanchen was already waiting by the elevator door when she descended earlier. The confidence and certitude that washed over his face clearly explained that he had support waiting on the outside without doubt.
Therefore, she dismissed the option of dashing outside directly.
Chu Wuyou scanned around the room to discover numerous people guarding the staircase. It seemed likely that Ye Lanchen had set that up too just in case she escaped through the stairs. She rejoiced at her previous decision.
Ye Lanchen was really a ruthless manipulator to have blocked all her paths.
Chu Wuyou had no other alternative than to pause in her tracks. She curled her lips upward to readjust the smile on her face before turning around. Escape was no longer an option thus she had to come up with solutions to overcome this obstacle.
However, almost simultaneously, a man stormed in through the door angrily. His twisted features made up a harrowing sight to the eyes.
“Why are you still here?” The man picked up his pace and hurried toward Chu Wuyou. He fixed a piercing stare at Chu Wuyou as if wanting to tear her into pieces.
The latter was stunned for a split second but the corners of her lips twitched into a faint smile almost immediately. This man arrived just in the nick of time!!!
“Marrying you is definitely the greatest regret in my entire life. You’ve been nothing but a disgrace to the Li family. What are you still doing here? Thinking of seducing another man again? Can you show some dignity and not throw yourself at good-looking men all the time? Let’s go, I’ll teach you a lesson once we get home.” Rage was written all over the man’s face as he grabbed Chu Wuyou’s arm and dragged her behind him forcefully.
Chu Wuyou stumbled and almost fell over behind the man. However, he did not show any compassion and continued dragging Chu Wuyou away even more recklessly.
The dramatic turn of events shocked everyone. Fifth Young Master Shen, however, only pursed his lips slightly. He was unperturbed because he witnessed things like this happening in the bureau all the time.
Chu Wuyou laughed internally. Earlier in the elevator, she called Qin Yutong just in case she would be stuck in the building, unable to leave. She asked her friend to find someone that could come to her rescue immediately.
If things deteriorated to the worst state possible then there was only so much she could do. Nonetheless, she would struggle until the last of her breath even if the chance was slim.
However, it was completely out of her expectation that her backup plan would arrive just in time. The man was also unarguably a great actor.
Ye Lanchen pursed his lips in silence. His gaze darkened as he watched Chu Wuyou being dragged away from the hall by that man.
He only called out to her previously to intimidate her.
He had not seen her full face personally and he also failed in detecting any weak spots when coming face-to-face with her earlier. Her heavy make-up was like layers upon layers of defense. In addition, her initiative to approach him also lessened his suspicions, just like Chu Wuyou had expected.
Inevitably, the most crucial point that led to the success of her plan was the decision to descend the elevator together with Fifth Young Master Shen. There was no way Ye Lanchen would be skeptical if even Fifth Young Master Shen did not recognize her!
