The taxi slowly started, and through the rearview mirror, Jing Haohao saw that the side door of the villa had been opened by Nanny Lin. Seeing Liang Chen standing outside, she immediately stepped forward to support him.
As the taxi moved further away from the villa, the scene behind her became smaller and smaller. Jing Haohao clearly saw several people rushing out from the villa, hurriedly supporting Liang Chen, and taking him in.
…
When Liang Chen woke up the next day, he was a bit confused.
Perhaps it was due to his hangover, his brain throbbed with a slight ache.
He opened his eyes, looked around the familiar bedroom, frowned, searched his memory, but found his last recollection was of himself drinking too much at the Italian Restaurant.
He figured he must’ve called his driver to pick him up, didn’t think much of it, got out of bed, freshened up, changed into a clean suit, and went downstairs.
“Mr. Chen, you’re awake?” Nanny Lin saw Liang Chen and instantly greeted him, asking: “Mr. Chen, would you like to have breakfast?”
Liang Chen checked the time: it was already past eight o’clock. Remembering there was a morning meeting around nine, he quickly grabbed a bun from the dining room and headed out of the room while eating.
When he took out his car keys and arrived at the garage, he found that the car he usually drove was not there.
He walked out and called for Nanny Lin. When she came out, he asked, “Where’s the car I drove home yesterday?”
Nanny Lin looked puzzledly at Liang Chen and said, “Mr. Chen, you didn’t drive home yesterday.”
Liang Chen paused, wiped his lips with a tissue, “So the driver picked me up yesterday?”
“No.” Nanny Lin shook her head, “Yesterday, when I heard a knock at the door, I opened it, and I saw you standing there, Mr. Chen. I thought it was your assistant who brought you home.”
A sense of confusion crept over Liang Chen. He hadn’t even called an assistant for the dinner meeting he attended yesterday. Could it be Cong Rong who brought him home?
It shouldn’t be… if Cong Rong had dropped him off, he wouldn’t have stopped at the entrance of the house.
Liang Chen took out his phone to check the call record from yesterday, only to find the latest one had been placed at four in the afternoon.
Could it be… he had walked home in his drunken state last night?
From the Ring City River to the villa, even driving would take forty minutes, it was an absurd idea to consider.
The more Liang Chen pondered, the more puzzling it became, but he couldn’t figure out what exactly had happened. He immediately ordered the driver to prepare a car and went to the restaurant where he had eaten last night. Indeed, he found his car parked in the parking lot, completely untouched. As he approached and pulled on the car door, to his surprise, it was not locked.
Startled, Liang Chen quickly checked the inside of the car, relieved that nothing important was missing, he then started the car and headed for the office.
He was sure that he had locked the car. How could it be unlocked?
Who could have taken him home last night?
No… not many people he knew were aware of his residence on Half Mountain Villa…
Liang Chen’s mind was suddenly muddled.
