Chapter 800: Someone Is Looking for Your Wife
“Show me the way,” Mo Yixuan said.
Wang Zhi walked ahead. He was carrying a torch and the light from his handheld torch was very bright.
Mo Yixuan followed behind him. They walked very slowly and he grew more confused as they drew closer to the house that Wang Zhi had pointed out.
They arrived at the house 10 minutes later. It was a mud house and although the walls have been painted white, it was obvious that it had been a while since this house was constructed, especially when he saw the wooden door and the tall threshold in front of the door.
Mo Yixuan had only seen such houses on television or as historical residences of famous people.
“Go knock on the door,” Mo Yixuan sent Wang Zhi ahead with a wave of his hand.
He stood on the forecourt and stared at the house that had its lights on. The windows were tightly shut and the curtains were drawn, so he couldn’t see who was inside. The only thing that was obvious to him was that the occupants of this house were still awake.
“Knock! Knock! Knock!” Wang Zhi knocked against the large door.
“Chen Jiahang, Chen Jiahang, open up!” Wang Zhi said loudly and repeated himself several times as though he had come to collect a debt.
Chen Jiahang and He Xiyan were sitting on the bed watching a comedy on their laptop and He Xiyan nudged Jiahang when she heard that someone was at the door.
“Jiahang, go check who is at the door. It’s already so late at night, so what could this person want from us?” she said. She didn’t understand why there was someone at their door when it was so late. Normally, people only went visiting during the day.

Chen Jiahang nodded as he clambered off the bed and put on a jacket.
As he walked to the door and heard the shouts from the outside, he figured that it must be Wang Zhi at their door.
He wondered what was wrong with Wang Zhi and what would he want from him when it was already so late at night.
He still opened the door in spite of his confusion.
Just as he had guessed, he saw Wang Zhi’s scarred face the moment he opened the door.
“Chen Jiahang, this is Mr. Mo and he’s looking for your wife,” Wang Zhi said and came straight to the point.
Chen Jiahang frowned and his expression darkened when he heard that someone was looking for his wife. He clearly looked very displeased.
He turned and saw a tall man standing beside Wang Zhi. This man was almost as tall as he was and was also very skinny. He wore a black suit and looked…
Damn it, he had to admit that this man was more handsome than he was.
Chen Jiahang was even more annoyed. He didn’t want other men to be looking for his wife and moreover, this man was better-looking than him.
“Chen Jiahang, why aren’t you asking your wife to come to the door?” Wang Zhi said. When he saw that Chen Jiahang wasn’t moving to get his wife, he made his way into the house and was about to call out for He Xiyan…
However, Chen Jiahang caught hold of his shoulder after he took the first step into the house.
“You…” Wang Zhi said as he glared at Chen Jiahang. “Are you insane?”
Chen Jiahang ignored Wang Zhi’s protests and pointed to the road outside the door as his lips moved, “Get out! Get out of my house right now!”

Wang Zhi was speechless.
Mo Yixuan looked at Chen Jiahang in confusion.
“Why isn’t he speaking?” he asked Wang Zhi in bewilderment.
“He’s a mute!” Wang Zhi responded.
Wang Zhi’s voice was very loud and he sounded very angry. How dare Chen Jiahang shove him? Did this fool think he was all that now that he was rich? He would hire someone to beat him up one day.”
“I see,” Mo Yixuan said coldly. He walked right up to Chen Jiahang and flashed him an awkward smile.
“Hello, Mr. Chen. I’m your wife’s friend. She owes me some money, so could you get her to come to the door?”
