Liu Ming and all the Lycar employees greeted Su Xuan in unison. The man was stunned and terrified. What the hell! No way! This rideshare driver is the boss of Lycar? No wonder someone received me the moment I arrived. This must have been arranged by him! This is clearly a trap! The woman was also stunned. Didn’t my husband call the boss of Lycar from the car? This driver’s phone never rang! The next moment, a realization dawned on her. It could only mean one thing: her husband was lying. Connecting this to his bizarre behavior from before, her expression instantly changed. "Li Haoguang, you better come clean! Have you been lying to me all along?" she demanded, clutching his sleeve and shaking it fiercely. "Do you not even want to marry me? Are you only after my apartment? Is that why you insisted on adding your name to the property deed before we registered our marriage? Speak up! Say something!" The man’s lips twisted, but he remained silent. You’ve already figured it all out. What more is there for me to say? Liu Ming and the Lycar employees watched the scene unfold with utter contempt for the man. At the same time, they were a little puzzled. The guy isn’t even handsome! He’s at least thirty, with a receding hairline. How did he manage to fool such a good woman into not only marrying him but also adding his name to her property deed? How could you bear to deceive a woman like that? Wouldn’t a good life with her be better? "Take him to the police station," Su Xuan said with a wave of his hand. A few security guards came over to apprehend the man. The man suddenly dropped to his knees before Su Xuan. "Please, let me go!" he pleaded bitterly. "I just learned some tricks online to scam girls for a little spending money! I didn’t have any other malicious intent! I... I already used all the money I scammed, the 500,000 yuan, to make a down payment. I have nothing left now. Please just let me go!" He hoped Su Xuan would let him off the hook. Su Xuan turned to the woman. "Was that 500,000 yuan scammed from you?" The woman nodded, then shook her head. "He only scammed 200,000 yuan from me. The rest must be from other girls he conned." Su Xuan glanced at Liu Ming. "Take 200,000 from the 500,000 yuan down payment and give it to her. Hand the rest over to the police." "Understood!" Liu Ming immediately retrieved 200,000 yuan in cash from the finance department and gave it to the woman. "Thank you, Master—oh no, thank you, Boss!" she said, quickly thanking Su Xuan after receiving the money. Then, she unexpectedly shoved the 200,000 yuan into Su Xuan’s hands. "Boss, if it weren’t for your help, I might have been scammed out of everything I own. Please, take this money as a token of my gratitude!" "A verbal thank you is enough. Keep the money." Su Xuan certainly didn’t need such a small sum. But the woman insisted. "My family is actually quite wealthy; 200,000 yuan is nothing to us. Please, you must accept it!" Unable to refuse her persistence, Su Xuan accepted the money. Glancing at the man still kneeling on the floor, the woman added, "My dad always told me that when looking for a man, I shouldn’t focus on his wealth or family background. As long as he’s honest, hardworking, and truly good to me, that’s all that matters. That’s how I tried to choose, but I was completely blind to have been deceived by him. Ugh, what a heartless wretch!" The man looked up at her. "I didn’t deceive you that badly, did I? I never even slept with you!" The woman let out a laugh that was thick with anger. "If my father hadn’t taught me not to have that kind of relationship before marriage, you would have gotten what you wanted long ago. Looking back, I really am lucky!" "Then can you let me go?" the man asked. Ignoring him, the woman turned back to Su Xuan. "Please, send him to the police station immediately. I can’t stand the sight of him for another second. But if you need me to testify, I’ll be there whenever you call." "Alright." Su Xuan nodded, then had the security guards escort the man away. "Thank you so, so much!" the woman said, thanking him again. "You’re clearly a wealthy boss, yet you’re so low-key, driving a Didi. From now on, I’ll look for a husband just like you. By the way, do you have a girlfriend? My family background is really good. My dad owns a big company, worth at least two hundred million. You wouldn’t have to provide a marital home, as long as we..." "Let’s just drop it, haha!" Su Xuan cut her off before she could finish and quickly sent her on her way. He then turned to Liu Ming, who had approached him. "What are your thoughts?" Liu Ming grinned cheekily. "Boss, my thought is, how do you make money so easily? Two hundred thousand in the blink of an eye!" Su Xuan shot him a look. "Be serious." Liu Ming immediately adopted a solemn expression. "At the end of the day, society is materialistic. Women judge men, men judge women; everyone’s scrambling for material gain. Also, parents probably shouldn’t raise their children to be too noble, or they’ll be easily deceived. What just happened is proof of that." "Old Liu, that’s a pretty cynical take," Su Xuan remarked. "But it’s the truth, Boss!" Liu Ming retorted with a shrug. "Any other thoughts?" Liu Ming’s tone became meaningful. "Boss, I don’t think that woman will ever find a husband she’s satisfied with." "Why do you say that?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍 "Because she said she wants a husband like you. Think about it, who else in this world is as handsome and rich as you are? She’s doomed to be single for life!" "Old Liu, I’m getting the feeling you’re just buttering me up." "Hehe!" Liu Ming’s mischievous smile returned. "Boss, could you maybe give me a little extra on my bonus this year?" Su Xuan smiled and replied with a single word: "Scram!" And Liu Ming actually scrammed, immediately diving back into his intense but fulfilling work. He knew that if he wanted to earn more, he had to work hard. Besides, he genuinely liked his boss. Working for him was incredibly satisfying. Even hearing him say ’Scram!’ was as sweet as honey! Su Xuan finished his work and headed back to his luxury mansion. Although he hadn’t completed a single super order that day, he had still effortlessly earned 200,000 yuan. 「Back at his mansion.」 He saw his butler practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard. "Old Liu, feel like hot pot tonight? My treat," he said. "Eh?" However, Butler Liu looked at him with a surprised expression. "Master, weren’t you already out eating with Little Yun and Little Ya? Why are you back so soon? And you want to treat me to hot pot?" "What are you talking about? I never went out to eat with them," Su Xuan said. "That can’t be right!" Butler Liu pulled out his phone, his face serious. "Ten minutes ago, you called me saying you were taking them out to eat. You even sent a car to pick them up. How can you say it never happened?" Su Xuan glanced at the butler’s phone. "I didn’t call you, and that number isn’t mine!" "Right," Butler Liu replied. "You said on the phone that your battery was dead and you were using a friend’s phone." Su Xuan pulled out his own device. "My phone has plenty of battery left!" Butler Liu was baffled. "Are you sure the voice on the phone was mine?" Su Xuan asked immediately. "I may be old, but I’m not deaf," Butler Liu insisted. "The voice on the phone was most definitely yours!" Suddenly, Su Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. Is this place haunted...?
