The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife-Chapter 507: feigning ignorance

Wu Shuang raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised, yet also as if about to laugh. She stared intently at Long Chengtian, who was furious and nearly jumped up in anger. Wu Shuang pursed her lips, smiled, and didn’t respond. Long Chengtian angrily demanded, "What do you mean by laughing?"

"I’m wondering if you’ve lost your mind," Wu Shuang replied coolly, looking at Long Chengtian seriously. She said softly, "I don’t know how much of what you’re saying is true or false. What kind of reaction do you expect from me?"

She couldn’t sense even the slightest bit of affection from Long Chengtian.

After all, feelings are sometimes inaccurate. She also felt that Kaka liked her, even loved her, but ultimately it proved that feelings are sometimes just illusions.

Wu Shuang’s words startled Long Chengtian. He narrowed his eyes, staring at her intently. "Hmph!"

He snorted, then fell silent. Wu Shuang stroked her chin, pondering a serious question. "Your girlfriend won’t crawl out of her grave and scare you to death, will she?"

"What did you say?" Long Chengtian was slightly angry. Wu Shuang mentioning his girlfriend infuriated him, because she was the one who killed her. He still didn’t know why she killed her. Wu Shuang said it was an accident. Accident? Who would believe that Wu Shuang would accidentally kill someone, especially a woman? She wouldn’t take ordinary cases because the prices were too high. She usually only took cases involving government officials and gang leaders. She rarely took cases from others. He couldn’t imagine who would pay such a high price to kill his woman.

It wasn’t a hired killer, and it wasn’t an accident. Long Chengtian really couldn’t figure out why.

No one could pry a word out of Wu Shuang if she wouldn’t say it.

"Didn’t she ask you to avenge her before she died? Not only did you not avenge her, but you also fell in love with her killer. Are you sure she won’t jump out of her grave and scare you to death?" Wushuang asked with a slight smile.

This was a very serious question.

Just a few months ago, he was still shouting threats at her, his face turning fierce whenever his woman was mentioned. The change was too sudden, and she wasn’t used to it. It was just... a case of being paranoid.

Long Chengtian was a man of deep feelings and loyalty; even if he liked her, he wouldn’t be with her.

That was why she had teased him so wholeheartedly in the first place—after all, there was no burden.

"Mo Wushuang, shut up!" Long Chengtian shouted angrily. Wushuang was slightly surprised. When Long Chengtian was angry, he usually roared. It was quite rare for him to be so sullen and angry.

Wushuang chuckled. It seemed she had hit a nerve with Long Chengtian again.

"Why did you kill Qianqian?" Long Chengtian asked in a deep voice. "She’s been dead for almost two years. You owe me an explanation, Mo Wushuang. I know your mafia is powerful, and I can’t find the information I need. You have to tell me why you killed her. Qianqian had no grudge against you, and no one hired someone to kill her. She was gentle and never offended anyone. What did she deserve to die for?"

Wushuang said, "A mistake!"

"Nonsense!" Long Chengtian’s brows furrowed. "Who have you ever accidentally killed? Over the years, I’ve kept track of your records. There has never been a single accidental killing, not even an accidental injury. You couldn’t have been so unlucky as to accidentally kill Qianqian, could you?"

"You can say she was unlucky," Wushuang said calmly.

"No one else in the town died besides her. In other words, you were meant to kill her anyway. How can it be a mistake? Mo Wushuang, she’s dead, and you don’t even give me an explanation?" Long Chengtian looked at her unhappily. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Mo Wushuang smiled alluringly, gently stroking her Persian cat. Her languid demeanor carried a hint of arrogance and untamed spirit, exuding domineering decisiveness with a touch of cold sarcasm. "Every day, countless people disappear without a trace, and so many die. Do they all have an explanation? Long Chengtian, you’ve been in this business for quite some time now. You should know that many things are better left unsaid. Just consider it an accidental killing. If you want revenge, you’re welcome anytime. What difference does it make whether you know the truth or not?"

Long Chengtian narrowed his eyes. "So, you must have had your reasons for killing her?"

Wushuang smiled coldly. "Long Chengtian, human life is worthless in my eyes. Don’t ask me if I have a reason for killing. I’ll kill even without a reason. If anyone crosses me, I won’t care about anyone’s feelings. Anyone who threatens the life or property of those I love, regardless of gender or age, I won’t allow them to live in this world. It’s either her death or the death of those I love. Tell me, what would I choose?"

"Qianqian has always been peaceful and unassuming, who could she threaten?"

Wushuang shrugged, her smile smug. "If you’re so capable, go investigate yourself. Besides, you’re not exactly easy to fool."

Long Chengtian frowned. Mo Chen came down the spiral staircase, smiling, and asked, "You two haven’t finished talking yet? What’s with this posture? Are you going to fight? I can be the referee, but Long Chengtian, are you sure you can beat her?"

Long Chengtian glared at Mo Chen. Of course, he knew he couldn’t beat Wushuang. There were very few men who could beat her. Mo Chen said seriously, "Brother Long, actually, you don’t need to hurt your pride. Xiaobai and I can’t beat her either."

Was that supposed to be comforting?

"Long Chengtian, when are you going back to Eastern Europe?" Mo Wushuang asked.

"Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?"

"Am I?" Wushuang was innocent. Was she in such a hurry to get rid of him? She suddenly remembered Kaka asking her when she was going back to Rome. Thinking about how this guy had stayed in Rome for so many days, and Mo Yao and Mo Chen hadn’t given her a single message, Wushuang raised an eyebrow.

Long Chengtian was thoroughly embarrassed. Back when Wushuang was chasing after him in Eastern Europe, he was always the one constantly asking, "When are you going back to Rome? When are you going back to Rome? When are you leaving? When are you leaving?"...

He never once took the initiative to find Wushuang, and Wushuang never once asked him to leave.

It was truly frustrating.

So this was what they meant by the wheel of fortune turning.

"I have things to do in Rome and need to stay a few more days," Long Chengtian said calmly, without much thought, claiming he was very busy and had many things to handle. Mo Chen rolled his eyes. Busy?

Would a busy person spend five days waiting for him at his house?

This lie was utterly unsophisticated.

"What have you been busy with?" Wushuang asked, feigning ignorance.

Long Chengtian’s eyes widened, and he suddenly blurted out, "Chasing after my wife!"

Wushuang, "..."
