Li Yalin was taken aback by the unexpected fierceness of his usually gentle wife’s reaction.


    In the past, when conflicts arose, his wife would typically express her feelings through whining or sulking, resulting in a brief cold war that wouldst a few days at most.


    However, this time was different. Her response was loud, fierce, and full of scolding.


    Deep down, Li Yalin understood that his wife’s outburst stemmed from her worry for him during this challenging time. Therefore, he felt no anger in return.


    Eager to defend himself, he recalled the words of Fei Kexin to help rify his situation.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    With determination, he began, “Holly, I…I have my reasons…”


    “Reasons? What could possibly justify this?” Holly Chen shot back, her anger palpable. “You know, Li Yalin, in your eyes, everything seems to take priority over our mothers! If something happens in New York, it’s like you forget all about them. How are we supposed to care for our mothers?”


    Li Yalin found himself at a loss for words.


    He wasn’t particrly skilled with words, and lying was even less of a forte.


    Faced with his wife’s intense confrontation, he felt momentarily disoriented.<fnea8e> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? F?nd-Novel</fnea8e>


    Sometimes, the oue of a situation hinges on one’s ability to maintainposure and control their rhythm. Much like delivering a speech, if you can guide your audience with your timing, the result is usually sessful. Conversely, if your rhythm is interrupted, it often leads to failure—and potentially embarrassment.


    In that moment of confusion, Fei Kexin interjected, “Excuse me, are you Inspector Li’s wife?”


    Holly Chen shot her a nce and replied without hesitation, “That won’t be the case for long!”


    Fei Kexin offered a slight smile and continued, “Allow me to introduce myself. I am the chairman of the New York Fei Group, Fei Kexin…”


    Upon hearing this, Holly Chen’s eyes widened in recognition. “I know you… I saw you on TV…” she responded, her surprise evident.


    Fei Kexin continued, “I want to rify that Detective Li’s absence is due to my request for his assistance in an investigation a few days ago. Jamura, a disgrace to the Fei family, was involved in some sensitive matters, and I instructed Inspector Li to avoid any outside contact.”


    Frowning, Holly Chen questioned Fei Kexin, “But he’s already retired! Why should he follow your orders? If he isn’t supposed to contact anyone, then what binds him to you?”


    Fei Kexin maintained her calm demeanor as she replied, “Because I am Inspector Li’s employer.”


    With that, she produced a pre-written check from her checkbook and handed it to Holly Chen. “Mrs. Li, this ten million dors is themission I promised to pay Inspector Li uponpletion of the task. You might be wondering why he would obey me and ept my restrictions. It’s because I need someone who can maintain absolute confidentiality and has the experience required for this investigation. Additionally, Detective Li is aware that his daughter is expecting, and he needs a substantial ie to n for a better future for his grandchild.”


    “What?!” Holly Chen’s eyes widened in shock as she asked incredulously, “What exactly did you ask him to do that is worth ten million dors?!”
