He Shaochen Caught Someone's Eye
By the time Eve woke up, she was already in bed.
Against the light, she saw a slender figure. She was still a little dazed. She only felt that the other party's every move was elegant and pleasing to the eye.
When the other party turned around, he seemed to see that she was awake. He paused for a moment, then went to the table to get a glass of water. He was holding something in his hand as he walked over. As the figure grew larger, Eve recognized him. Wasn't this the man she couldn't choose, Adam?
Why was he still here?
And from the looks of it, he had been here for a while.
Adam placed the glass of water and the pills on the table, then reached out to touch Eve's forehead. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The fever has subsided. Get up and take the medicine, then sleep. You should be fine."
Eve asked, "Shouldn't you be by Lilith's side?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, her hoarse voice sounded like that of an old woman's. It was especially ear-piercing.
Eve pressed down on her throat and furrowed her brows.
Adam didn't have much of a reaction. He just replied casually, "It should have been like this, but someone collapsed in front of me. I helped her to the bed, then she kept tugging on my clothes and wouldn't let go. I couldn't do anything about it."
Eve was stunned. "Impossible!"
As soon as she spoke, her throat felt like it was on fire. It hurt terribly.
Adam twisted the communication device hanging from his earlobe and said to the waiter outside, "Bring the iced pear with rock sugar over."
Soon, a female servant came in.
She placed the pear on the table and left quietly.
"Drink some of this. Your throat will feel much better."
Eve's bright blue eyes focused on the bowl of snow pear with rock sugar, and a mocking smile appeared on her face as she turned to Adam with a perplexed expression. "What the hell are you doing now, Adam? Don't you know that one who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions? "
A faint smile appeared on Adam's face, and Eve's skeptical expression was reflected in his dark red eyes. "Can't you think of this as the appreciation between two wonderful companions?"
Eve held the bowl and took a small sip of the snow pear water with rock sugar. It was sweet and cool at the same time. When it entered her mouth, she could taste the freshness and sweetness of the snow pear. Her throat didn't hurt as much anymore. She touched her throat and after a while, she said calmly, "If someone else said that, I'd believe it. But you … I don't believe it."
Adam wished he could follow Lilith 24 hours a day. How could he have the time to take care of her?
There must be some other purpose.
Adam looked at her deeply. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Actually, Lilith is with Mr. He now, and Mr. He and I don't see eye to eye …"
It was an expected answer.
This didn't surprise Eve at all.
Because other than that, she couldn't think of any other reason why Adam would stay with her.
She took another sip of the snow pear and said coldly, "So it's because you were chased out and have nowhere to go that you came to my place. I was wondering why the sun rose from the west today. After He Shaochen leaves, you can go back to Lilith's side."
She put the bowl down and swallowed the pills that Adam had placed beside her. After gulping down a big mouthful of water, she turned over and lay on the bed. "I'm sleepy. I want to sleep for a while. When you leave later, be quiet. Don't disturb my rest."
Adam sat beside her. After a while, he said in a low voice, "I just came out because I want to tell you something. I know you're not asleep. Just listen quietly."
"…"
Eve's eyes drooped slightly, but she waited for Adam's next words.
"Eve, recently I found out that someone has been secretly investigating me. If I'm not wrong, the higher-ups have already become suspicious of me. It won't be long before Phillips comes to you for questioning. At that time, you don't need to hide anything for me. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. If you deliberately hide it, you can't hide it from that man."
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with my brain. Why should I hide it for you?"
Eve's heart trembled. With her back facing Adam, she wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
"Of course, Miss Eve is a very sensible person. You definitely won't do something that's strenuous and unrewarding. I'm just afraid that your brain hasn't turned for the moment …"
Before Adam finished speaking, Eve interrupted him first. "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with my brain. I won't do something stupid like sacrificing myself for others. If Phillips comes to me, I'll tell him truthfully about your recent
Actions. "
"Well, that's good."
Adam comforted her.
Eve covered her mouth. She was incomparably glad that her throat was damaged. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to tell that she was crying.
"Then have a good rest. I'll leave first."
Hearing the sound of Adam getting up, Eve couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Lilith still together with He Shaochen? Won't you become a third wheel if you go now? "
Adam replied indifferently, "Well, it's about time. I think Mr. He should go back."
Did he want to go back to Lilith so badly?
Eve clutched the corner of the quilt tightly. Her heart ached so much that it went numb. She said coldly, "If you want to go, then go. I'm also annoyed that you keep talking here and disturbing my sleep. But be careful, don't interrupt Lilith and her lover's happy occasion. If the other party is jealous and hates you, the gains won't make up for the losses."
Eve was also very sarcastic when she spoke sarcastically.
Adam watched as Eve wrapped herself into a ball and spoke in a muffled voice. He couldn't help but smile. A strange look flashed across his dark red eyes. Still, he turned around and said indifferently, "Have a good rest. If you need anything, just ask the servants outside."
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Eve clutched the corner of the quilt tightly and buried her head in it.
From the outside, one could only see that the ball-shaped object was trembling slightly.
It hurt.
It really hurt.
The places that Phillips had touched were burning hot. Her entire body felt as if it was about to burn. If someone lifted her clothes now, they would definitely see the kiss marks and bite marks all over her body. He didn't have the slightest bit of tenderness for the fairer sex.
That damned man. One day, she would kill him!
Eve's eyes flashed with a vicious glint.
Adam returned to Qiao Qiao's office. She was seriously dealing with work. From the looks of it, she had been in this state for a long time.
He Shaochen was having a meeting in A Country today and didn't come to J Country at all. He also didn't get to flirt with Qiao Qiao.
When Qiao Qiao saw Adam enter, she raised her head and asked, "How is Eve's body? Has her fever gone down? Do you need to see a doctor? "
"Her fever has gone down. She has taken her medicine and is about to sleep. If you want a doctor, you can call her when she wakes up."
"That's good too. Isn't her workload a little too heavy? Why don't I send someone over to help her share some of her workload … "
Qiao Qiao thought for a moment and suggested.
However, Adam rejected, "No need. She had an accident this time. With Eve's ability, she can definitely do it."
Qiao Qiao nodded and said, "That's good."
She rubbed her sore eyes and pounded her sore shoulders, yawning incessantly.
Adam walked over and looked at the documents that Qiao Qiao had completed in the morning. He smiled and said, "Lilith, it's been hard on you. Rest for half an hour. I'll help you with the rest."
"Okay."
Qiao Qiao didn't decline because she was too tired. Moreover, she was pregnant now and her sleepiness was becoming more frequent. For the sake of the child, she couldn't force herself to overwork.
She lay on the table and narrowed her eyes. Her voice was weak as she said, "Then I'll take a short nap here. Wake me up in half an hour."
"Okay."
Adam pulled a chair over and sat beside Qiao Qiao to help her with the rest of the documents. In less than a minute, Adam realized that Qiao Qiao had already fallen asleep. There were many things going on in J Country these days and her workload was gradually increasing. However, she didn't complain at all.
If he didn't ask to help, she would probably grit her teeth and finish it herself, right?
Adam smiled helplessly. He had clearly said that he wouldn't make things difficult for her, but he still subconsciously resisted. He helped Qiao Qiao tidy up the thin hair that covered her face, then took off his jacket and gently put it on her before starting to work seriously.
Half a month later.
He Shaochen's 100 glasses of whiskey finally paid off.
Madam Red brought him first-hand information.
"Because of this stupid matter of yours, I lost nearly an entire team of members. Family He's son, I've really suffered a great loss from this transaction." Hong Lici in a red cheongsam hugged a male escort and crossed her legs as she spoke faintly.
That J Organisation was indeed very capable. However, no matter how careful their people were, they still lost more than half of their men.
Only those in this line of work would know how precious an informant was.
"If it wasn't difficult, why would I specially come to find you, Madam Red?" He Shaochen hinted with his eyes.
Qin Dong walked forward and placed a small suitcase on the table. He opened the suitcase and the things inside immediately attracted Madam Red's gaze. Even though she had experienced many ups and downs over the years, she was still completely captivated by the different types of rubies in front of her eyes.
He Shaochen sat on the sofa at the side and crossed his legs. He looked lazy and elegant. He said calmly, "I know that Madam Red loves rubies, so I ordered people to collect all kinds of rubies. The total value of this is 200 million. Of course, this is just a small compensation for Madam Red. The promised deposit has already been prepared."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Dong placed a cheque that he had prepared long ago on the table. The number of zeros behind the cheque was enough to open one's eyes.
Madam Red was stunned. After a second, she finally came back to her senses. She revealed a satisfied smile and said, "He Family is indeed rich and imposing. Their first move is really impressive."
"These things are not as valuable as human lives," He Shaochen said lightly.
Madam Red's smile disappeared. She handed the prepared information to He Shaochen and said, "That organization is even more unfathomable than I thought. My people only understood the most basic things, such as their system. However, I am still sorting out the list of the core members. It is listed as the top secret. No one can find the files of the senior members. If you want, I can continue to investigate, but the time it will take may …"
"There is no problem with the financial support. I must get that list of members."
He Shaochen's eyes flashed with determination.
Madam Red saw He Shaochen's eyes were so determined. She did not intend to say anything else. She sighed and said, "I understand. Give me some more time."
"I hope it can be done as soon as possible."
He Shaochen made his request.
Madam Red frowned and warned in a low voice, "It is not a good thing to be anxious for quick success and instant benefits. If someone finds out …"
"This is something you should deal with. I will pay, and you will be responsible for the investigation. This is a matter of course." He Shaochen did not care about what others thought.
He did not need to complain when he was paid to do things.
Madam Red was silent.
She played with a strand of her long hair in her hand and smiled playfully. She said with some regret, "The young master of He Family is indeed very good at making things difficult for others. But who asked you to look so much to my liking? If you are willing to accompany me for a night, I may be able to help you investigate everything about that J Organisation for free … "
He Shaochen raised his eyebrows and looked at Madam Red. Facing her expectant gaze, his thin lips opened and closed, revealing an elegant and reserved smile. "I am sorry, but I already have a wife."
