Chapter 243

Seeing this, Bai Jing said, “If you go too far, I really will call the police. You say there’s a bond connecting us, but have you thought about how weak that bond is? If you go too far, that bond will break. Then I really will call the police and make you face the law.”

　　 Upon hearing this, Shamaam stopped.

　　 After standing there for a full minute, Shamaamu finally turned around.

　　 Looking at Bai Jing, Shama Amu said, “Then I won’t tease you anymore, because your always serious face makes me feel very uncomfortable.”

　　 “If you want to flirt, go flirt with those full-time or part-time prostitutes. At least they’ll pretend to be affectionate with you for money.”

　　 “They even call me husband.”

　　 “nausea!”

　　 “Didn’t you just call me ‘husband’ too?”

　　 “You can’t make jokes like that!”

　　 “Alright, I’ll go find them then,” Shamaamu said as he walked over and picked up his black leather suitcase. “I know you work at Jiangnan Travel Agency now, and I also know a woman there who is also a part-time prostitute.”

　　 Startled, Bai Jing quickly asked, “Who?”

　　 “I still have professional ethics.”

　　 “Then tell me her last name.”

　　 “Luo,” Shamaamu said, clicking his tongue, “I was just talking about professional ethics, but I realize I betrayed her. There aren’t many women with the surname Luo, and there are probably even fewer at the travel agency where you work, or maybe there’s only one.”

　　 “Luo Qiu?”

　　 “It seems there really is only one.”

　　 “You’re lying to me,” Bai Jing said. “Luo Qiu is seven months pregnant. She couldn’t possibly be a part-time prostitute.”

　　 “Can’t some clients like to have sex with pregnant women?”

　　 “Impossible,” Bai Jing said. “She’s the boss’s mistress. She can just ask the boss for money. There’s no need for her to work as a part-time prostitute.”

　　 “How much money can someone who runs a travel agency have?”

　　 When Shamaamu asked her that question, Bai Jing fell silent.

　　 “Let me put it this way,” Shamaamu said, “I estimate that a travel agency like that, with a net profit of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a month, is considered very successful. The barrier to entry for opening a travel agency is extremely low now, especially the franchise model. Actually, I don’t need to say much about the tourism industry, after all, you’ve been a tour guide in Lijiang for several years. Since I’ve already sold Luo Qiu out, I’ll be frank with you. Luo Qiu’s high expenses are mainly due to drug addiction, though that has nothing to do with me. She was already using drugs before I came to Shenzhen this year. Even with a big belly, she continued to use drugs. When she was high, she didn’t care about the baby in her belly at all, but instead had sex wildly with people she knew or didn’t know.”

　　 “You’re definitely lying to me. I don’t believe there are pregnant women like that.”

　　 “Drug addicts can be easily conquered by drugs, regardless of whether they are pregnant or not.”

　　 “You can leave now, I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”

　　 “I really wanted to stay here overnight, but since you won’t allow it, I’ll leave.”

　　 After smiling at Bai Jing, Shama Amu walked out.

　　 After Shamaamu went out, Bai Jing, who had walked up to him, immediately locked the door.

　　 Looking through the peephole, Bai Jing saw that there was no one outside and breathed a sigh of relief.

　　 Fortunately, her husband hadn’t come back yet, otherwise there would have been no way to explain it.

　　 Perhaps she should be thankful that it was Shamaamu who had just barged in; if it had been any other man, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

　　 Of course, she hoped that Shamaamu would return to Ruili and not stay in Shenzhen anymore.

　　 The longer Shamaamu stays in Shenzhen, the more likely her husband is to find out about her past.

　　 Besides her past actions of seducing men in Lijiang and causing deaths, there are even more distant matters that her husband cannot know.

　　 For example, he once sold drugs without knowing the truth.

　　 Because her husband’s cousin was a criminal investigator, and her husband was a man with a very strong sense of justice, Bai Jing planned to keep it a secret as much as possible. After all, people’s memories become increasingly blurred over time, so as long as she behaved better in front of her husband than before, he should forget some of the things he wanted to investigate, right?

　　 The key point is that such memories cannot become blurred in a few days or months!

　　 The thought of possibly being in a cold war or even separated for the next few years terrified Bai Jing.

　　 Given that she dared not tell the truth, all she could do was pretend to know nothing, right?

　　 The more Bai Jing thought about it, the more uncertain she felt.

　　 Sitting on the sofa, Bai Jing became increasingly uneasy.

　　 More than ten minutes later, Bai Jing finally mustered up the courage to call her husband.

　　 After the call connected, Bai Jing asked, “Honey, where are you?”

　　 “I’m having a late-night snack with the two of them.”

　　 Who are they?

　　 “Xiaoqin and Yina.”

　　 “Why did you suddenly go out for a late-night snack with them?”

　　 “They just moved, so it’s a celebration.”

　　 “Where will you stay tonight?”

　　 “I’ll stay with them for one night and find a place to stay tomorrow.”

　　 “Then you should just stay at a hotel,” Bai Jing said. “They’re all women, it’s so inconvenient for a grown man like you.”

　　 “You can’t even trust your own sister?”

　　 “What?”

　　 “Xiaoqin will keep an eye on me for you, so you don’t have to worry about me and Yina getting involved at all.”

　　 “I did not say that.”

　　 “So you tested her this morning?”

　　 “What do you mean, what’s going on?”

　　 “This morning you asked her a question,” Han An continued after a pause, “Actually, it shouldn’t be called asking, but rather stating a lie you made up. You said I told you that she and I stayed at the same inn. Since that never happened, Ina denied it outright, and then you said you might have misremembered. Actually, you didn’t misremember at all, because it was a lie you made up. The purpose of this lie was simple: to confirm whether she and I stayed at the same inn. Later, you might ask me similar questions, and if she says yes, and I say no, then you’ll suspect that we’re having an affair.”

　　 “Honey, that’s not true. I must have remembered it wrong.”

　　 “You belong to the type of woman with exceptional intelligence.”

　　 “If I were exceptionally intelligent, I wouldn’t have been fooled by Zhou Tao and Xu Xiaoru.”

　　 “That’s all for now, I’m having a late-night snack with them.”

　　 “Husband, please come back. I can’t live without you.”

　　 “Stop lying to me,” Han An said. “Before you went to Lijiang at the end of September, I already told you that Han’s restaurant would be very busy during the National Day holiday, and you could wait until the 4th or 5th to go. I would go with you then. But you insisted on going home to spend the National Day holiday with your mother. Since I couldn’t persuade you otherwise, I had to let you go to Lijiang first. I thought you would go directly to your mother, but you booked a room in the city instead!”
