President, Please Be Careful
86

The two fell into silence at the end of each line. Immediately after, an angry shout exploded from the other end of the phone, “Fake?! Then why would your personal assistant even have to chase after thieves on the street?! He also shouted very loudly as if he wanted to tell the world that something important from your company had been stolen! Do you think I look stupid to you?!”

"You are indeed very stupid," Mu Tingfeng remained expressionless, but the slight smile in his eyes showed otherwise.

Most people probably don't see it. But the old butler was different. She grew up watching Mu Tingfeng.

How could he not notice the slightest change from the young master? Because of that, the old butler grew even more surprised, and he wondered when the young master and Miss Zhao were…

"What did you say?!" Zhao Youlin exploded.

Fortunately, the two of them were physically separated by a phone line. Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee to anyone that he wouldn't pounce on the spot, a flying fist.

“The thief is a corporate spy from his rival. The documents we allowed to fall into his hands were just part of the act of trapping him. If not for your sudden appearance, a good show would have ended in a high note.”

Unbeknownst to Mu Tingfeng, she usually did not bother to explain herself to others. Today, he actually spoke just for the sake of.

As Mu Tingfeng had expected, despite not telling everything in detail, Zhao Youlin was not a fool, so how could she not understand the meaning that lay behind his words? He was kind enough to help someone catch a thief for half a day.

He ended up causing other people problems. He had long arranged everything and played with them to lure the spy out so that the spy could reveal his true color and he could catch the spy with a red hand.

However, he was the one who accidentally messed up his plan. In fact, he had injured himself and lost his time and documents because of this. He sacrificed himself and even suffered a huge loss.

Zhao Youlin's anger only increased as she thought about it. He gave the bedside table another kick.

Meanwhile, Mu Tingfeng heard a thud at the end. He raised his eyebrows and deliberately said, “Ms. Zhao, I'll hang up if there's nothing else. Many things I have to do here.”

The old butler and waiter who heard the rumors sneaked out from every corner of the house. Some of them had cleaned the living room, packed the trash, prepared dinner, as well as others who were wandering the hall almost stumbled.

Even though he looked like he was reading a newspaper, he was actually daydreaming. In fact, his mind had wandered all afternoon.

How could someone lie so boldly, saying that he was so busy?! Unfortunately, the person on the other end did not know the truth at all and was fooled by President Mu.

When he heard it sound as if he was going to end their conversation, he hurriedly snapped, "Wait!"

Mu Tingfeng pretended to sound impatient and asked back, "Is there anything else?"

Zhao Youlin forced herself to remain calm. He took a few breaths and gritted his teeth as he said, "Your documents are with me, and you also took mine."

"Is that?"

Fortunately Zhao Youlin could not see Mu Tingfeng directly now. Otherwise, he would flaunt his teeth as he faced the cold, dark eyes of the man.

“So, we both accidentally picked up the wrong item. Don't you think you should return my things?!”

"Why should I?" He replied to the enraged Zhao Youlin, sounding as if it was just a simple matter.

"What?!"

“Indeed we've taken the wrong thing. But, You take your own stuff. What you picked up was just a pile of scrap paper whereas I've picked up something that seems important to you. Their value is different. So, why should I return it to you?”

Zhao Youlin was speechless. At that moment, many thoughts raged in Zhao Youlin's heart. In the end, all the frustration and helplessness resulted in two words. "Damn".
