Chapter 2159 - 263: East and West Maneuvers

Taking a deep breath, she tried hard to calm herself down, "Even if it’s discovered, it’s not like it would prove anything, right?"

Fang Zheng listened, but remained silent for a long time.

Yan Xiaoxi finally understood!

Did Fang Zheng think it was her?

It was unnecessary to explain anything; besides, it wasn’t important for others to believe her, as long as the old man believed her.

If he didn’t believe her either, then—

Then she had fallen for the wrong person!

Since he didn’t ask her or say anything, she didn’t need to do anything for now.

Fang Zheng remained silent for a while, "I hope it wasn’t you."

Yan Xiaoxi shrugged with a smile, "Whether it was or not, it’s not up to you to decide."

With that, she hung up the phone.

Nobody likes being suspected. Even if he’s the old man’s assistant, she didn’t like Fang Zheng speaking to her in that tone.

Lying in bed, all of a sudden, she felt a bit uneasy.

Why did everything feel increasingly complicated?

Unbeknownst to her, at this moment, Lu Yi received a text she just sent—

"Ah Yi, it seems like we’ve been found out. His assistant is already suspicious. What should we do?"

Then, to her further agitation, another text came to her phone from Lu Yi.

She had blocked his previous number, yet here was a new one.

"Xiaoxi, don’t worry. They don’t have any evidence, it’s pointless."

Yan Xiaoxi stared at the text, watching it for a long time as she gradually came to her senses—

Thinking back to the call with Fang Zheng just now!

Was there something wrong with her phone?

Could it be Lu Yi somehow knew she had taken the call, perhaps even knew the content of her conversation with Fang Zheng?

Looking at the text, she suddenly felt a chill throughout her body.

Even the smartest man can’t endure constant provocation like this.

After all, she and Lu Yi had a past together.

Even if she wasn’t suspected, there would be a metaphorical thorn in the heart, causing discomfort, right?

How should she handle this?

After a pause, she held the phone and went downstairs to find Huo Jinnan.

When Huo Jinnan saw Yan Xiaoxi walking directly toward him, his expression seemed slightly off, with a slight furrow of his brow.

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Huo Jinnan, "Mr. Huo, something seems to be wrong with my phone."

The phone?

Huo Jinnan glanced at the phone in Yan Xiaoxi’s hand.

Yan Xiaoxi recounted what had happened earlier, placing the phone on the table, "Mr. Huo, is there any way to check if my phone is infected with a Trojan or something?"

Huo Jinnan looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "Alright."

Yan Xiaoxi, "Thank you."

Huo Jinnan, "No need to be formal, we’re all on the same side here."

Besides, he’d be teaching her to be his sister-in-law in the future, though he didn’t say this out loud, merely casting a brief glance at Yan Xiaoxi.

Her way of handling things was admittedly clever.

If she went to Jin Bo, she’d undoubtedly be reminded of her past with Lu Yi.

If she contacted Lu Yi, it would only further confirm her and Lu Yi’s complicity against the boss.

Coming to him was the best choice.

Yan Xiaoxi glanced at her phone, "I wonder when the results will be out?"

Huo Jinnan looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll suspect you?"

Yan Xiaoxi lifted her head, looking at Huo Jinnan, "You did my brother a kindness, and he’s my only family. I’m not foolish enough to betray my brother for a man who abandoned me."

Huo Jinnan, with a low and mellow voice, said, "The results will be out the day after tomorrow."

...

Two days later, Yan Xiaoxi went downstairs and saw the phone that was sent for inspection had been returned.

Sitting there, looking at Mr. Huo, she suddenly felt nervous.
