Chapter 165: You’re Sick, and It’s Very Serious

Nothing!

His pockets were completely empty. There was nothing there!

He then checked his other pocket—still nothing.

THUMP!

Yang Xun’s heart lurched, and a terrible premonition instantly washed over him.

’Where’s the black card??’

’How could the Zhou Family’s black card be missing?!’

Yang Xun’s expression froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, showing no sign of distress at the table.

He kept his head down and shoveled rice into his mouth, his mind racing as he desperately tried to retrace his steps from yesterday.

Yesterday, after he saved Zhou Kunlun at Xinglin Hall, the Zhou Family had given him that black card.

After that, he went to a bathhouse and had a round with Liu Mei. Then he was in his sister-in-law’s office, getting intimate with his wife’s younger sister for a bit. Afterward, the two of them drove to the woods to have sex in the car before finally returning to the villa.

If the black card was lost, it could only be in one of two places: the private room at the bathhouse, or his wife’s sister’s car.

’I have to go look for it as soon as I’m done eating!’

’That thing is too valuable. A ten-million-yuan black card... If it fell into someone else’s hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.’

"RING RING RING!!"

Just as Yang Xun was secretly plotting his next move, Xu Yue’s phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up and glanced at the caller ID, her expression immediately turning serious.

"Hello? What? Another problem with the formula? All the stability tests failed?"

Xu Yue’s brow furrowed tighter and tighter as she said urgently, "Okay, I understand. Tell the team not to do anything. Wait for me to get there."

After hanging up, Xu Yue quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks. She looked at Yang Xun and Xiaolin apologetically. "I’m so sorry, there’s a problem with R&D at the company. I have to go over there right away."

"Go on, go on. The company is more important."

Xiaolin waved her hand dismissively.

Yang Xun, however, looked up at Xu Yue and said softly, "Take care of yourself. Don’t push yourself too hard."

Xu Yue suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned, glanced at Yang Xun, and nodded slightly. "Okay, I know. Thanks. You two take your time. I’m leaving now."

She then hurried back to her room to change, grabbed her bag, and rushed out the door.

As the front door clicked shut, the dining room instantly fell silent.

Only Yang Xun and Xiaolin remained, sitting face to face.

The atmosphere suddenly became incredibly awkward.

Yang Xun lowered his head and began eating faster.

He had no interest in a staring contest with Xiaolin. He needed to finish eating quickly so he could go to the bathhouse and find that black card.

Across from him, Xiaolin appeared to be focused on her soup, but her eyes were secretly sizing up Yang Xun.

Seeing the way Yang Xun was wolfing down his food, Xiaolin’s lips curled slightly in a sneer, her eyes filled with disdain.

’This guy?’

’This broke loser who doesn’t have a car or a house and works as a delivery boy... on what basis did he get to marry Xu Yue?’

’A live-in son-in-law... just saying it is embarrassing.’

’But what brought Xiaolin some comfort was the thought that Xu Yue had finally come to her senses. Last night, Xu Yue had asked her for tips on how to please a man, which meant she must have already found someone she liked on the outside.’

’That man must be a hundred, no, a thousand times better than Yang Xun!’

’It made sense. With Xu Yue’s looks and abilities, what kind of outstanding man in all of Zhonghai City couldn’t she have?’

’Why hang herself on a single, crooked tree like Yang Xun?’

At this thought, the look Xiaolin gave Yang Xun grew even more contemptuous.

’Still completely in the dark, aren’t you?’

’Your wife is about to run off with another man, and you’re just sitting here, stupidly stuffing your face. You really deserve it.’

"What are you looking at?"

Just as Xiaolin was lost in her own disdain, she suddenly noticed Yang Xun’s gaze fixed upon her. Her brow furrowed instantly, her eyes filled with disgust. "Let me tell you something," she said coldly. "Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because Xu Yue isn’t here. If you keep looking at me like that, I won’t let you off easy!"

However, unlike his usual self, Yang Xun didn’t try to brush it off with a cheeky grin.

He put down his bowl and chopsticks, his expression unusually grave. He stared directly at Xiaolin and said in a calm tone, "You’re sick. And it’s very serious."

"You’re the one who’s sick! Your whole family is sick!"

Xiaolin instantly blew her top. Her eyes flew wide as she pointed a finger at Yang Xun’s nose and cursed.

"I’m serious. You really are sick!"

Yang Xun didn’t get angry. He maintained his serious expression and said, "And in five seconds, your stomach will start to hurt. A sharp, stabbing pain, like being pricked by needles."

"In five seconds, my stomach will start to hurt?"

Hearing this, Xiaolin looked at Yang Xun as if he were an idiot, her beautiful eyes filled with scorn.

’This guy isn’t just poor, he’s got a screw loose too, doesn’t he?’

’He opens his mouth and says someone is sick, and that their stomach will hurt in five seconds?’

’Who do you think you are, a fortune-teller?’

’For Xu Yue to be married to a guy like this... it must be heaven’s greatest punishment for her.’

’Thank goodness Yueyue has already found a man she likes on the outside. Otherwise, spending a lifetime with this kind of trash would be enough to suffocate a person to death.’

"Yes. And you have three seconds left."

Yang Xun nodded slightly, his expression so serious it was clear he wasn’t joking.

"Dumbass."

Xiaolin sneered, threw down her chopsticks, and stood up. Without a backward glance, she tossed a final remark over her shoulder: "Clean up the table when you’re done eating."

However, she had barely taken a single step when her expression suddenly changed.

A sharp, stabbing pain exploded from the depths of her lower abdomen without any warning.

It was immediately followed by an even fiercer pain, like a red-hot iron needle jabbing into her, wave after wave, each one more vicious than the last.

"AHH!!"

Xiaolin let out a pained scream, clutching her lower abdomen with both hands. As if her spine had been ripped out, she crumpled to a squat on the floor, her face a frightening shade of white.
