Chapter 275: Are You Hiding Something from Me?

Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Are You Hiding Something from Me?

But, Cheng Lie thought, there was still a very urgent matter he needed to resolve immediately.

"Mr. Cheng, did you say... Mu Chengzhu came to Beijing?" Zhao Pan looked shocked.

Cheng Lie grunted softly, "Can you help me figure out his motives?"

"Of course." Zhao Pan agreed without hesitation.

Such minor tasks were his specialty.

However, Zhao Pan couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Cheng, where exactly did you see Mu Chengzhu?"

Surely, it wasn’t just a chance encounter on the street, was it?

"I went to Shi Fei’s school today to meet her, and I saw them together." Cheng Lie recalled the scene, and despite the anger that had consumed him earlier, a trace of sadness lingered within.

Still, he had never been willing to admit that he could be someone who gets hurt.

Over the years, even though outwardly he seemed fragile, deep down, he refused to acknowledge any vulnerability.

Only an inner toughness could sustain him, yet now, he was wounded.

She shared secrets with Mu Chengzhu—secrets that belonged solely to the two of them. He felt like an extraneous presence.

She was still angry with him now, not even willing to maintain a friendship.

Zhao Pan also noticed the fleeting vulnerability in Cheng Lie’s gaze.

It shocked him; he had never seen such an expression from the cold, ruthless young man before.

In the past, Cheng Lie had committed heinous acts with ease, treated everyone with detached indifference, and whenever angered, had responded with reckless ferocity.

Back then, Zhao Pan had even wondered if Cheng Lie was borderline antisocial.

But now, things seemed different from how he had envisioned.

Cheng Lie could be saddened?

Was it because of his meeting today with Yun Shifei and Mu Chengzhu?
