The Surrogate Bride of the Colonel He

Chapter 184 - Lead Wolf into the House

Whether Loong Shen's words were jest or perilous, Zuo Bo's sudden grimace conveyed seriousness, “Do you believe I'd immediately hasten to Hee Jingyan's troop and apprehend you?”

There was no jest in his tone! Loong Shen was taken aback by Zuo Bo's response, having uttered his words merely to gauge Zuo Bo's reaction.

Loong Shen slowly erased the facade of enchantment from his face, appearing content as if Zuo Bo's response was precisely what he anticipated.

Thus, he feigned nonchalance, “Then test me if you dare. I might even indulge your attempt.” His words, though benign, carried a captivating allure.

Yet you, Zuo Bo, cannot have escaped confinement!

Loong Shen inwardly derided himself, but swiftly anticipation shrouded his gaze for Zuo Bo's arrival.

However, at that instant, Zuo Bo's voice echoed in his ears, “Feast well for the next few days. I shan't release you from your confines for a week.”

Before the bewildered Loong Shen could react, Zuo Yi's urgent voice erupted from the phone, “Bro, where are you headed?”

Following Zuo Yi's inquiry, Zuo Bo's sinister voice interjected, “Seek out your sister-in-law.” Subsequently, a door slammed shut, terminating the call.

Huh? What? What did my brother just say? Where to, Mr. Loong Shen? Is this for real?

Loong Shen was utterly bewildered, staring at his phone for an extended period, unable to regain composure.

What does this imply? Is he intending to visit me?

Loong Shen's eyes widened in astonishment, for initially, he believed Zuo Bo wouldn't dare confront him in person. At best, Zuo Bo might converse over the phone. Yet this time, he had miscalculated, unwittingly luring the wolf.

“Seems like you've truly stoked the flames this time.”

Although Hee Jingyan couldn't discern Zuo Bo's words to Loong Shen, Liu Tie's remarks hinted at Loong Shen's reckless provocation.

Loong Shen, you've always deemed Zuo Bo a coward! He harbored affection for her yet lacked the courage to confess or act upon it.

However, Loong Shen, you've underestimated Zuo Bo entirely. If Zuo Bo is genuinely incensed, few can impede him. This time, you've crossed paths with Zuo Bo, and it may lead to your demise, but I'm indifferent.

Hee Jingyan chuckled inwardly. Now, it was his turn to witness the spectacle between these two.

Hee Jingyan had long been intrigued by the prospect of a confrontation between Loong Shen and Zuo Bo. Now, his wish was granted.

Hee Jingyan anticipated Loong Shen's rebuke for his foolishness in provoking Zuo Bo. Yet, to his surprise, Loong Shen wore an incredibly charming smile, “Didn't you advise me to yield occasionally? Isn't this an opportune moment?”

As Loong Shen spoke, Hee Jingyan was dumbfounded. Given Loong Shen's nature, such sudden introspection was inconceivable.

He had presumed that Loong Qi's attack would widen the chasm between them, but it appeared they were approaching it from the wrong angle! It inadvertently drew them closer. Well played, Loong Qi.

Hee Jingyan's apparent commendation wasn't to laud Loong Qi's intelligence but to mock him subtly.

Initially, he sought to rupture the bond between Zuo Bo and Loong Shen, ensuring they remained at an impasse. However, unwittingly, he played matchmaker, complicating matters for himself.
