"Huang Zong, it's late. Why hasn't your wife come back yet?" Zhao Liang leaned against the sofa and asked Huang De Han.
Huang De Han glanced at the wall clock. The hour hand was close to midnight. Why hadn't Li Man returned yet? Annoyed, he reached for a cigarette and lit it.
"Shouldn't you call and ask?" Zhao Liang suggested.
Huang De Han waved his hand and exhaled a puff of smoke. "Let's wait a bit longer."
"Huang Zong, I have a feeling that your wife is suspicious of you. She... could she have found out?" Zhao Liang furrowed his brows.
Upon hearing Zhao Liang's words, Huang De Han's hand holding the cigarette trembled. "How is that possible?"
"I just have this feeling. Look, yesterday you asked her to bring something to the hotel, but she refused. And when she saw you bringing me home in the evening, she immediately went out with her friends and hasn't come back since. Don't tell me it's a coincidence. It's too coincidental, it's not normal!" Zhao Liang analyzed.
Huang De Han's brow furrowed, and he started to think that Zhao Liang's words made some sense. He also remembered that Li Man had mentioned before that she had hired someone to investigate him. At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it. But now, thinking about it, things didn't seem so simple. And there was also the time when he tried to harm her with drugs, but it didn't work.
Why did she always manage to come out unscathed whenever he tried to plot against her?
It seemed like she knew everything he was planning.
Huang De Han's mind raced with terrifying thoughts, and a chill ran down his spine.
Could she have planted a bug on him?
If she really did plant a bug, where could it be?
At home?
Huang De Han pondered for a moment and dismissed that idea because he rarely made phone calls at home, and even when he did, he never said anything incriminating to Li Man.
Could it be in the car?
The thought of the car made Huang De Han break out in a cold sweat because he suddenly realized that his car had a dashcam.
And the dashcam had audio recording capabilities.
Damn it! How could he forget about this?
He grabbed the car keys from the coffee table and headed downstairs.
"Huang Zong, where are you going?" Zhao Liang called after him.
Without looking back, Huang De Han replied, "You go back first."
Zhao Liang's eyes darted around as he said, "Um, Huang Zong, even though I haven't completed the task, you can't just let me go for nothing, right? My time is also valuable."
Huang De Han stopped in his tracks, took out his wallet from his pocket, grabbed a wad of cash, and without counting, threw it at Zhao Liang. "Get lost!"
Zhao Liang didn't have time to react, and the money scattered all over the floor.
A glimmer of greed flashed in his eyes as he quickly crouched down and picked up the banknotes from the ground.
"Hmph!" Huang De Han snorted coldly from his nostrils and walked away.
Huang De Han arrived at the underground parking lot, unlocked the car door, and got in.
He checked the dashcam and found that the recording was still on.
"Damn it!" Huang De Han cursed under his breath and turned off the audio recording function of the dashcam.
Then, he carefully checked the car again, looking for any hidden cameras or recording devices.
After a thorough search, Huang De Han didn't find anything.
Finally, he let out a sigh of relief.
Li Man hadn't come home tonight, and Huang De Han wondered if he had narrowly escaped a disaster.
Realizing that Li Man might have listened to the recording on the dashcam, Huang De Han knew that for the time being, he couldn't make any moves towards Li Man.
Huang De Han returned home and carefully checked the living room and his bedroom, inspecting every nook and cranny, but he didn't find anything suspicious.
