Chapter 87: Come and Get It If You Want (3)
Zhao Youlin finally learned the true meaning of being an evil capitalist. Even an issue as simple as this could be turned into a business opportunity.
It took her great pains to hold back her anger before she tried to plead, “Mu Tingfeng, don’t go overboard. My hand got hurt all because I helped you catch the thief!”
When Mu Tingfeng heard Zhao Youlin mention her wounded hand, a gloomy look darted across his eyes. However, his tone was as smooth and calm as before, “You also messed up our plan.”
He was lowkey mentioning that she should not have been so nosey. Without her, they could still have caught the thief.
In fact, not only could they have caught the thief, but they could have also uncovered the mastermind behind the scenes. It would be like killing two birds with one stone. She had messed up their plan by butting her nose into the affairs more than she should. She should be grateful that they had not held her accountable for her mistakes. How dare she actually still want to claim credit for her deed?
Zhao Youlin naturally understood the underlying meaning of Mu Tingfeng’s words. The words “what the fudge” decided to blare in her head with the intensity of twenty-five loudspeakers, along with thirty megaphones. What the heck was this?!
Zhao Youlin made up her mind that if she ever butted her nose into his affairs again in the future, she would chop her hand off. She lost all her patience. However, she decided to just go along with the flow. Even though things were progressing in a bad way for her, and she asked, “What would it take for you to give me back my things?!”
Mu Tingfeng’s eyes fluttered and he said in a deep voice, “To be frank, your things are useless to me. They are none other than trash.”
“So?” Zhao Youlin’s face was black, and she repeated what Mu Tingfeng had said previously.
“So, I can give them back to you, but on one condition.”
Zhao Youlin’s face darkened once again upon hearing him setting a condition. She asked, “What condition?”
“Come and take them yourself.”
“Huh?!”
“If you want them, come and take them yourself. We’ll meet at eight o’clock tomorrow morning at the same place, Direct Sun Cafe. I won’t wait for you if you’re late.”
Mu Tingfeng spoke with a deep voice and when Zhao Youlin heard his words from the phone, she was completely stunned.
Before Zhao Youlin returned to her senses to ask further, he had already hung up. What came next was the all too familiar busy signal.
Zhao Youlin fell speechless.
‘H-Hung up?!’ Mu Tingfeng actually hung up on her. Hahaha! That idiot had actually hung up on her.
While staring at the phone in her hand, all Zhao Youlin had in her mind was that Mu Tingfeng had hung up on her. Her face turned white and finally became black.
Regardless of how angry Zhao Youlin was at her end, the moment Mu Tingfeng hung up, he felt good, because he finally took revenge on the fact that Zhao Youlin hung up on him last time.
Meanwhile, the old butler who stood at a side found it very unusual. His old face looked bitter.
‘The young master said so many things to Ms. Zhao today that it is almost the equivalent of the total number of words he said throughout his entire life. Something’s wrong. Indeed, something is truly not right! No way, I must call and inform the master, the lady of the house, and the former master of the house!’
Mu Tingfeng seemed to notice that all eyes were on him. He quickly withdrew his smile and instantly reverted to his usual coldness. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Don’t you all have chores to do?”
The crowd who had been watching him with excitement immediately felt a chill. They hurriedly straightened their backs and left.
Even the respected old butler shuddered and left quickly. He was eager to report this to the master and the lady of the house.
When Mu Tingfeng saw the crowd had left, he felt slightly better. He turned his head and looked at the phone. Some emotions flickered in his eyes.
