Chapter 1547: My Bigshot Husband
Ning Shu had long been impatient with Shi Sinan. Once she was out of sight, she would be out of mind. Most importantly, this kind of school only had one day off per month.
So, she would successfully avoid Xi Mucheng.
After leaving the school, Ning Shu arrived at a clubhouse, which was quite upscale. She parked her car in front of the entrance and looked at the clubhouse.
The important thing about this club was that it hid corruption. The most profitable business was either selling drugs or prostitution, and this club had both.
This place was full of rich people who came to play and take the high-end route.
Otherwise, how else could Xi Mucheng have such a large capital? With the money that her uncle took back then, how could he develop into what he was now?
This story should be called my bigshot husband.
The clubhouse was discovered by Shi Lina. Since she regarded Xi Mucheng as her biggest competitor, it was impossible for her not to investigate him.
She found out that Xi Mucheng wasn’t the son of her uncle and also discovered his underground influence. However, she was run over and killed before she could do anything about it.
The driver voluntarily confessed that he was drunk, and even if he was put in jail, Shi Lina was already dead.
Ning Shu studied the clubhouse. It was a bit challenging to break inside, but even an iron barrel had gaps.
Ning Shu decided to call a private detective.
Her purpose was to obtain information about what went on in Xi Mucheng’s clubhouse, especially evidence of prostitution and selling drugs.
Ning Shu wasn’t afraid to spend more money and private investigators were skilled at swimming in grey areas.
“Either photo or video is fine,” said Ning Shu to the private detective.
She then took out a few stacks of money from her bag. “Here. Take care of the club’s employees; buy them off if you can.”
The private detective accepted the money and the job. Still, he said to Ning Shu, “You and I both need to keep this a secret. This clubhouse doesn’t have a simple background. If you tell anyone, I won’t be able to stay in this line of work anymore.”
Ning Shu nodded. “Got it.”
After settling things with the private detective, Ning Shu headed to her office.
She was suddenly in a good mood without that scratchy feeling of having Shi Sinan around.
Ning Shu returned to the villa in the evening. When she walked into the house, she saw Xi Mucheng in the living room. He was constantly glancing towards the door, seeming a little confused and worried.
Xi Mucheng peaked out of the window from time to time. The sky had already begun to darken.
Ning Shu snickered inwardly. You can continue to wait.
Xi Mucheng saw Ning Shu, but he was unable to ask her where Shi Sinan had gone. He looked a little agitated.
Xi Mucheng walked in front of her. Ning Shu deliberately hit him, but his body didn’t even shake a bit. His feet were steady.
And that was despite his injuries.
From this, one could see that Xi Mucheng’s martial art wasn’t weak. As he had been mingling with bad crowds since childhood, how could he not have a little defensive ability?
He should be proficient in the art of grappling and fighting.
It would be a little tricky to get close to him.
Xi Mucheng’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Ning Shu. He said faintly, “Sister hit me. Shouldn’t you say sorry to me?”
Ning Shu said, “I’m sorry. I was walking too quickly.”
Xi Mucheng sized up Ning Shu with a suspicious look in his eyes. He obviously sensed that the woman in front of him had learned some martial arts.
He had no idea that his ‘sister’ could fight.
Ning Shu went upstairs. As soon as she reached her bedroom, the phone in her bag vibrated. It was Shi Sinan’s phone.
