Chapter 873: Chapter 875: Mu Shanshan’s Adviser—Shen Peini

“You mean, Lin Fei flew back to the country last night already?!”

Mu Shanshan learned this news from Yang Chenlong: her so-called husband Lin Fei left without a word, fleeing back overnight. Her expression was cold, very cold.

The extent of her coldness could be felt from the slight sweat on Yang Chenlong’s forehead.

After all, she was one of the twelve main gods of the Hell’s Judgement Organization, and her name alone was enough to make the head of the largest Mercenary Organization in New Star Forest either flee or kneel.

Yang Chenlong’s mental fortitude was quite strong.

However, facing Mu Shanshan, who questioned him at this moment, even Yang Chenlong couldn’t help but feel nervous, with sweat appearing on his forehead.

From this, one could tell just how cold Mu Shanshan was at this moment!

To put it bluntly, the entire presidential suite at this moment was completely enveloped by Mu Shanshan’s icy corporate aura.

The temperature in the entire presidential suite, to some extent, was influenced by Mu Shanshan.

This was Yang Chenlong; if it were an ordinary person, they would have been scared out of their wits under Mu Shanshan’s overwhelmingly intense icy demeanor.

Even someone as strong as Yang Chenlong could only nod in agreement under Mu Shanshan’s cold questioning. As for the defense he had prepared for Lin Fei, originally thought through by Yang Chenlong,

that had long since been tossed to the back of his mind.

“Xiaolong, tell me the truth. Did Lin Fei really fly back home? If so, why did he suddenly think of returning to the country? Moreover, didn’t he ask you to pass a message to me?”

“Sister-in-law, I swear on heaven. The boss did take the flight in the early hours of this morning to your Zhonghai City. I saw the boss board the plane with my own eyes. If you don’t believe me, Xu Lengxuan can testify. It was he who drove us to the airport last night. As for why the boss suddenly thought of leaving New Star Forest to return home, sister-in-law, I really don’t know.”

“You don’t know? Impossible! Xiaolong, you always say you and Lin Fei are brothers who’d put their lives on the line for each other. Since you personally took him to the airport and saw him board, you wouldn’t know nothing, right?!”

“Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t be asking me this question. The boss came to me yesterday, seemingly because of an issue with your relationship, to drink. I asked him, but he didn’t say anything. Then, halfway through our drinking, he suddenly asked me to book him a ticket back home. Then he boarded the plane and left.”

After briefly explaining to Mu Shanshan, seeing the growing coldness in her expression, Yang Chenlong immediately made his excuse to leave, saying, “Sister-in-law, I’m just the messenger. My task is complete, and if you have no other matters, I still have things to handle at home, so I’ll take my leave now.”

Fearing further entanglement, as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Chenlong left without hesitation.

Shortly after Yang Chenlong’s departure, Mu Shanshan, who had been deep in thought for a while, hesitantly spoke, furrowing her brows, “What is Lin Fei trying to do? Is he trying to avoid me, or is he expressing his dissatisfaction by doing this?”

In the presidential suite where Mu Shanshan was, there were originally three people. As Yang Chenlong left, it was now just her and Shen Peini.

Thus, the person Mu Shanshan questioned could only be Shen Peini.

“General Mu, to be honest, I’m not exactly sure why Vice Minister Lin suddenly decided to return home. But, I don’t think it’s to avoid you. As for whether he’s trying to express his dissatisfaction through this action, it’s even less likely.”

“Why is that not possible?”

“Because, General Mu, you haven’t done anything wrong. On the contrary, your actions for Vice Minister Lin aren’t absolutely bad. General Mu, your intention is good. You did it because you wanted to strengthen the relationship between you and Vice Minister Lin. I can confidently tell you, General Mu, Lin Fei’s love for you surpasses his total affection for me and Director Ling combined. General Mu, you wanting to solidify your relationship with Lin Fei, I can’t understand why he would be dissatisfied—unless, he’s out of his mind.”

As they say, those in the game are confused, and those out of the game see clearly.

Being involved, Mu Shanshan felt uneasy and restless after suddenly hearing about Lin Fei leaving without saying goodbye. Meanwhile, Shen Peini, being somewhat of an outsider, was clearly more rational.

Especially after intentionally or unintentionally communicating with this icy corporate leader, Mu Shanshan, for two consecutive nights, she roughly grasped the emotional state between Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei.

Plus, Shen Peini was quite familiar with Lin Fei’s character. Thus, she could make an accurate judgment: Lin Fei did not leave without saying a word because he was trying to avoid or express dissatisfaction, as Mu Shanshan guessed.

Shen Peini’s explanation was logical, but it evidently didn’t relieve Mu Shanshan.

After all, what Mu Shanshan truly wanted to understand was not whether Lin Fei left to avoid her or to express dissatisfaction through leaving.

Furrowing her brow as she silently pondered for a while, Mu Shanshan questioned Shen Peini again, “If it’s like you say, then why did Lin Fei leave without saying goodbye? Is he not afraid of angering me?”

“I’m not exactly sure why Lin Fei left without saying goodbye, but I think it wasn’t solely because of your reason. As for whether Lin Fei fears your anger or not, General Mu, you’ll really have to ask him yourself.”

“Minister Shen, there’s just us two here. I hope you can speak more clearly.”

“Since you’ve put it that way, General Mu, I’ll say what I think. If I’m not wrong, the person Lin Fei loves the most is definitely you, General Mu. But he doesn’t love just you alone. Now that you’ve shown the intent to interfere in his other relationship, Lin Fei naturally doesn’t want to stay in a passive position.”

“You mean he flew back overnight to prevent me from returning and continuing to interfere in his private life?”

“That’s pretty much the gist of it.”

If Lin Fei were still in New Star Forest, and heard the analysis Shen Peini gave to Mu Shanshan regarding his overnight return,

Lin Fei would definitely be drenched in sweat.

The decision he agonized over for three days, Shen Peini, with her extraordinary charm, deciphered in just over ten minutes.

Shen Peini’s emotional intelligence and understanding of him had reached a level that made him tremble in awe…
