Chapter 170: Things Bad Guys Love
Aside from the collection room, the boss's bedroom is the safest place in the entire house. The maids must always obtain permission before entering to clean, which is why the boss had instructed her to place the items inside the bedroom first.
Never could she have imagined that such an accident would occur...
Not only would this Miss Lin be in trouble, but she herself would inevitably face punishment as well.
Listening to Subei's reproaches, Lin Nanxun simply shook her head with an innocent expression.
"I didn't sneak in..."
She came here to sleep every single night.
Hearing this reply, Subei could not help but remind her sternly.
"No one is allowed to enter this room. Didn't Aunt Xu tell you that?"
At these words, Lin Nanxun nodded gently.
Aunt Xu had indeed told her that.
However... the bad guy always let her in.
Just as Lin Nanxun lowered her head, looking with self-reproach at the shards in her hands, Subei's voice rang out once again.
"You had better figure out how you're going to explain this to the boss later. I will not cover up the truth for you," Subei said with a serious expression.
Given the boss's temperament, even someone with Miss Lin's special status would be shown no mercy and thrown out.
The boss had always loathed such delicate and troublesome women.
Having made such a mistake this time, she probably wouldn't be able to stay here any longer.
Subei stood there staring at the girl for a moment, then turned and walked away with a calm expression.
Lin Nanxun sat crouched on the spot, gazing at the cup in her hands that was now beyond repair, a wave of profound sorrow washing over her heart.
The thing that the bad guy liked so much had been broken by her just like that...
As night fell, the heavy rain gradually tapered off, turning into a fine, lingering drizzle.
Several cars drove slowly through the large iron gates of the lakeside villa and finally came to a halt at the entrance.
Aunt Xu and the maids hurried over with umbrellas, opening them up.
Shen Hanzhi pushed open the car door and stepped out, walking with long strides toward the villa.
His handsome face wore an expression of strict and meticulous severity.
Subei stood straight and spoke respectfully, "Boss, the items..."
Before she could finish, the man glanced around the first floor, frowned slightly, and suddenly turned to ask Aunt Xu with a concerned tone.
"Where is she?"
Why wasn't that girl to be seen?
Hearing Shen Hanzhi ask about Lin Nanxun the moment he arrived, a look of delight appeared on Aunt Xu's face, and she quickly replied.
"Miss Lin was a bit tired and is resting upstairs right now. Should I go wake her up?"
"No need." Shen Hanzhi waved his hand, and with those words, he turned around and strode purposefully toward the second floor.
Subei watched Shen Hanzhi's departing figure with a look of astonishment on her face, having completely failed to explain the matter of the broken cup to the boss.
Zhou Bei walked over, glanced at Subei, and offered an explanation.
"Subei, you've only just returned. You'll slowly get used to certain things in time."
At this, a puzzled look crossed Subei's face, leaving her entirely bewildered by Zhou Bei's words.
Shen Hanzhi strode up to the second floor while casually unbuttoning his suit jacket, which bore a few drops of rain.
He instinctively started to head toward Lin Nanxun's small room, but suddenly remembering something, the expression on his handsome face paused. Ultimately, he changed direction and walked unconsciously toward his own bedroom.
Arriving at the bedroom door, Shen Hanzhi reached out and pushed the door open directly.
