"How could it be bad? When have I, Nan Fengyan, ever treated myself badly?" Nan Fengyan was speaking when he suddenly glanced at Ruili, who had just entered the kitchen, and couldn't help complaining, "It's just that Ruili is really strict with my diet. She keeps telling me to watch what I eat."
He looked exactly like a husband who had been married for years, complaining to others.
Mo Beichen couldn't help curling the corner of his mouth. He looked at Nan Fengyan casually. Why did he feel that Nan Fengyan wasn't complaining but showing off instead?
When Ruili came out, Nan Fengyan quieted down a bit and didn't dare to say such things casually anymore.
When Ruili saw that the mahjong sets had been laid out in front of everyone, she wiped her hands and walked over.
"Watch me play a few rounds first, and you'll know how to play. Come and sit down quickly." Nan Fengyan pulled out the only empty chair and placed it beside him. Ruili walked over and sat down.
"Just like this. This 'Three Characters' tile can't be used as a pair or in a straight sequence, so I'll discard it." As Nan Fengyan was speaking, he casually threw out the tile in his hand.
"I win!" The moment Nan Fengyan put down the tile, Mo Beichen suddenly pushed the mahjong tiles in front of him and said calmly.
Nan Fengyan's mouth twitched. "Damn it! I've only played two rounds. At least let me explain everything clearly first."
Nan Fengyan suspected that Mo Beichen did it on purpose to make him look bad. So he stared at Mo Beichen suspiciously and said unwillingly, "One more round!"
"Pfft!" For some reason, Ruili suddenly burst out laughing, looking much more radiant.
Nan Fengyan turned around and was immediately captivated. He thought Ruili was like a blooming lotus after the first snow melted, so dazzling that it took his breath away.
Nan Fengyan just stood there in a daze, and without even looking at the tile he had just drawn, he discarded it.
"I win this time!" Xia Weilan's unceremonious voice finally woke Nan Fengyan up. When he came to his senses and looked at the tile he had discarded, he realized that it was the very tile he was about to win with.
Nan Fengyan's mouth twitched again. He felt as if his bad luck still hadn't passed.
Seeing Nan Fengyan's intense reaction, Xia Weilan couldn't help asking in surprise, "It's okay. The night is still young. You still have a chance to win."
Ruili pursed her lips and said nothing, while Mo Beichen gave Nan Fengyan a meaningful look.
"Nan Fengyan, your skills are still as lousy as ever!" Mo Beichen teased.
Nan Fengyan felt embarrassed in front of Ruili and couldn't help getting angry. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Just watch me win until you doubt your life today."
After saying that, Nan Fengyan suddenly turned to look at Ruili, looking like a primary - school student who had been bullied and was seeing his parents. "Ruili, they, this couple, are bullying me. Do you understand how to play now? Help me fight back!"
"Yeah, I understand." Ruili replied cooperatively.
However, in the next round, Ruili lost, and the winner was Xia Weilan. Ouyang Mingqi was so anxious that he started deliberately giving Ruili the tiles she needed.
Since Ruili was a novice, she thought it was just her good luck and took several tiles from Nan Fengyan.
After Ruili discarded a tile, Xia Weilan clearly saw Nan Fengyan winking at her with a twitching eye in the corner. Xia Weilan's eyes flashed, but she pretended not to see anything. Instead, she discarded a tile that Ruili might need.
"I win!" Ruili suddenly shouted a few times. It was the first time in her life that she had won at mahjong. She was so overjoyed that she rarely showed her emotions. She directly pushed the tiles away boldly and looked elated.
Ouyang Mingqi looked at Ruili and felt happier than if he had won himself.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a nurse walked in. Seeing so many people playing mahjong in the room, the nurse didn't say much. She just put the medicine on the table and said, "This is the medicine you need to take tonight."
Ruili walked over, picked up the pills, looked at them, and then said to the nurse, "Okay."
Then, Ruili naturally poured a glass of water and brought it to Nan Fengyan. "Take your medicine."
After that, Ruili won two more rounds. Nan Fengyan deliberately let her win, and Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen each won two rounds as well.
It was Nan Fengyan who kept losing at the mahjong table. However, he was very excited because Ruili had won, and it was as if he had won himself.
At the mahjong table, Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen cooperated very well. Sometimes they also let Ruili win.
"By the way, Brother Mo, have you found out who was behind the brake sabotage?" Nan Fengyan asked while playing mahjong.
Mo Beichen replied, "The surveillance cameras in the vicinity have all been tampered with. The fingerprints extracted from the car don't match any known targets, so it's difficult to make a comparison. It won't be that easy."
However, Mo Beichen also knew that even if they did match the fingerprints, it would still be difficult to prove that the person was the culprit. That's why this case was so tricky.
When this topic came up, everyone stopped and paused their actions.
Ruili and Nan Fengyan glanced at each other and tacitly shut their mouths.
But Ruili's expression suddenly changed, as if she had thought of something.
"Brother Mo, you can check the dash - cams of the vehicles passing by in the vicinity. Maybe something was captured. As long as you can identify the vehicle, the investigation shouldn't be too difficult."
Hearing this, Mo Beichen thought for a while and immediately walked out to make a phone call. When he came back, he found that everyone in the room was speculating about the identity of the suspect.
Nan Fengyan said, "I think someone must be trying to harm Brother Mo. Maybe it's one of his business enemies. Did Brother Mo offend anyone recently? The other party might be desperate and trying to take revenge."
After saying that, Nan Fengyan looked at Mo Beichen. "Brother Mo, have you seriously affected anyone's interests recently?"
Mo Beichen walked over with a deep look on his face. After thinking for a while, he shook his head.
"Then do you have any long - term enemies?" Nan Fengyan asked again.
Everyone had lost the mood to play mahjong.
Xia Weilan felt a faint uneasiness in her heart. She always felt that this matter might be related to Ouyang Mingqi.
In the ward, everyone fell silent.
"Brother Mo, you'd better be more careful in the near future. Bring more bodyguards with you." Nan Fengyan reminded.
The next day.
At the entrance of a company in the capital, Xia Ruolin was about to negotiate a cooperation deal with the other party when she was directly stopped at the door.
"Miss Xia, we've already reached a cooperation agreement with someone else. You'd better go back."
Xia Ruolin couldn't believe it. This was already the second time this had happened to her today. The other party didn't give any explanation. They just said this and wanted to drive her away.
This time, Xia Ruolin refused to back down. "I'm the eldest daughter of the Xia family. How dare you treat me like this?"
"So what if you're the eldest daughter of the Xia family? Our boss said that as long as we can make money, that person is our god. Please don't come again!" After saying that, the manager immediately told the security guards to stop Xia Ruolin.
"Stop! Explain this to me clearly!" Xia Ruolin shouted at the manager.
Just then, a tall and handsome man walked out of the elevator. He was personally escorted to the door by the company's boss.
"Mr. Ouyang, happy cooperation!" The two men walked to the entrance and shook hands.
Ouyang Mingqi didn't even look at Xia Ruolin. He just turned around and walked out of the door.
Xia Ruolin didn't expect to see Ouyang Mingqi here. After a moment of stunnedness, as if just coming to her senses, she quickly chased after Ouyang Mingqi. But all she could see was the figure of Ouyang Mingqi driving away.
Xia Ruolin vaguely felt that it was Ouyang Mingqi who was behind this. Immediately, she also got in her car and chased after him.
