Lin Tong's remarks also startled Su Yumo, who was working nearby.

Her face turned slightly pale, and her hands paused slightly as she, too, perked up her ears and quietly concentrated on listening.

At the same time, on the other end of the phone, Liu Ying's voice came through just in time: "To be honest with you, you probably already know your husband has a little mistress, right? Yesterday, to please her, he went alone to the mountains to gather medicine to treat her grandmother's illness, and he hasn't returned for an entire night without any news. Isn't that a disappearance?"

Hearing this, Lin Tong immediately fell silent. After a while, she spoke with a cold voice: "Let him disappear then! He can disappear for as long as he wants; it has nothing much to do with me."

"Oh, oh, oh! Can you really deceive yourself with those words? Xiao Tong, aren't you worried at all? What if something really happened to your husband, like getting bitten by some venomous snake or beast in the mountains, or accidentally falling off a cliff? Wouldn't you care at all? You'd end up a widow!" Liu Ying teased.

"Don't say such alarming things. That guy's life is tougher than a rock. What do I have to worry about? Even if someone dies, it won't be him!"

Lin Tong's words were indifferent, said lightly: "If he really died, that would be great. It would mean one less great troublemaker in the world. Who knows how many girls would be saved, and even I could be liberated, avoiding future torment from him."

"So, you're not planning to look for him? You don't care whether he lives or dies?" Liu Ying retorted.

"Hmph! Why should I look for him? It would be a complete waste of my precious time. I might as well approve some more documents!" Lin Tong snorted coldly.

"Hehe, really? That's even better if you're not going. I'll go look for him myself! After all, I have nothing to do, I can just treat it as a trip."

Liu Ying said with a giggling tone.

"What did you say? You're going to look for him?" Lin Tong's gaze darkened as she asked.

"Yep! You said you weren't going, so I'll go look for him by myself!"

Liu Ying said with a tone of mockery, "Even though the chances of something happening to him are minuscule, I still feel somewhat worried and have to check it out to be at ease. If something did happen, I could be of help! Unlike some people who, as a wife, don't even care about their husband's life or death, something I'd never do."

"If you're going, then I'll go too!"

Hearing the underlying sarcasm in those words, Lin Tong gritted her teeth and immediately changed her mind.

"Oh? Weren't you not going and said you didn't have time, that it was a total waste? Why are you going now?"

Liu Ying's expression was playful, her words laced with teasing.

"I'm afraid he'd be enchanted by the mountain's fox spirit!" Lin Tong sneered inwardly.

Of course, she didn't say this out loud but rather said, "Although I'm not too worried about his safety, he is my husband after all! These formalities still have to be done, lest someone uses this to accuse me of not caring about him!"

"Hehe! Sweet talk, I'm guessing you're just going to see that little mistress, right? Then, take the opportunity to assert your authority as the legitimate wife, to make that little mistress understand the hierarchy and not steal your say."

Liu Ying had seen through everything long ago and laughed with a mischievous smile.

"So what if I am?"

Lin Tong's words were indifferent, directly confronting Liu Ying: "I do plan to meet her, but I have no intention of showing off. I protect my feelings with my own strength! I won't engage in such pointless fights or rely on status to suppress."

"Oh? If that's so, then I'm relieved! I hope what you say matches what you think."

Liu Ying giggled, speaking with a meaningful undertone.

After a pause, she added, "Alright, that's enough of our conversation for now. I'll be heading out soon, if you're going too, we'll meet up later!"

With that, the phone soon emitted a busy tone, indicating the call was disconnected.

Lin Tong put down her phone, pondering for a moment, before turning to Su Yumo and instructing: "Yumo, I have to go out for a bit, the Company will be in your hands."

Having said that, Lin Tong, slightly absent-minded, grabbed her bag and walked out of the office.

Watching Lin Tong's departing figure, Su Yumo opened her mouth but eventually didn't say anything, instead letting out a silent sigh.

With a bitter smile on her face, she shook her head helplessly, closed her mouth, and resumed working.

...

On the other side, inside a room in the villa estate.

Seeing Liu Ying hang up the phone, Murong Wanwan immediately furrowed her brows and said, "Sister Liu Ying, why did you tell Sister Miaochan's matters to Sister Lin Tong? This will cause big trouble!"

"Hehe, that's because you don't understand. What trouble could arise? I say it's a hidden danger if this thing doesn't get resolved! And now is the perfect opportunity."

Liu Ying blinked and said with a carefree smile, "It's just a matter of Lin Tong having a big fit, after which the matter will pass, and life will be harmonious and perfect."

"Sister Liu Ying, what do you mean by that? I don't get it, how could letting Sister Lin Tong cause trouble be a good thing?"

Murong Wanwan scratched her head, full of confusion, and asked.

"Of course it's a good thing! And it's a big one too!"

Liu Ying smiled proudly and said earnestly, "Think about it yourself, once this matter is exposed, everything has to be laid out on the table! Ye Xuan can no longer secretly play ambiguous tricks, and Lin Tong can no longer pretend to be ignorant as if she knows nothing. This way, everyone's relationships are much easier to handle, as long as it's handled, all the difficult issues will pass! Isn't this a grand opportunity for them?"

Saying this, Liu Ying slightly paused and then continued: "Actually, whether it's for Ye Xuan or Lin Tong, they both want to uncover this layer of facade! So they no longer have to act in front of each other, and everything is exposed to daylight."

"However, the issue of who unveils this layer is significant, as they are both embarrassed to do so! Because no matter who uncovers it, it will cause unavoidable awkwardness. If Ye Xuan uncovers it first, Lin Tong would lose face and be at a loss. Conversely, Ye Xuan would be left without an exit, making their relationship easily fall into deadlock, so presently they are both playing dumb, neither willing to act rashly!"

Liu Ying smiled slightly, "And under such circumstances, a third party needs to intervene..."
