Hades, the Urban Legend

Chapter 111: Answer

When Yang Chen arrived at the innermost parking spot on the second floor, Mo Qian Ni's red A4 was indeed parked there, doors tightly shut and windows darkened by tinted film, obscuring the interior.

Approaching, Yang Chen rapped on the car door, but there was no response from within.

Wearing a smirk laden with meaning, Yang Chen pretended to turn away...

"Yang Chen!"

The rear door of the car immediately cracked open, revealing a glimpse of Mo Qian Ni's rosy and beautiful face, nervously calling out to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen feigned surprise, turning back with a puzzled expression, "Oh, Minister Mo, you're really in there. I was wondering why you weren't at work this early, and here's your car. Are you playing hide and seek?"

"Hide and seek my foot!" Mo Qian Ni was frantic, abandoning all semblance of ladylike demeanor, unable to contain her outburst, "What's going on? Why am I suddenly like this?"

"What's like what?" Yang Chen asked with a smirk.

Blushing furiously, Mo Qian Ni stuttered, "I... why... why am I... why am I naked?"

Mo Qian Ni felt like she was going mad. She had been in a great mood earlier because of Yang Chen's suggestion, resolving many troubles at home. But as soon as she arrived at the company, as she stepped out of the car, she suddenly felt dizzy, then everything went black.

When she woke up again, she found herself lying naked on the sofa in her car, even her black stockings had been removed! Completely nude!

Damn it! She wasn't the leading lady in a supernatural movie, what was this? Even in movies, things weren't this absurd!

Yang Chen ceased teasing her, realizing that this beautiful female boss had a decent psychological resilience. So, he calmly said, "If you want to know what happened, I can tell you, but it's quite bizarre, so whether you believe it or not is up to you."

"Go ahead," Mo Qian Ni said, surprised at Yang Chen's seriousness for once. Although it was embarrassing to be naked and hiding in the car, she managed to steady herself and peered through the crack in the door, watching Yang Chen.

Yang Chen organized his thoughts and began recounting the events of the early morning.

The gist of the story was that a group of villains wanted to steal something valuable from Yang Chen, something he didn't actually possess, so he couldn't hand it over to them. Consequently, they intended to use the people around Yang Chen as leverage, forcing him to comply. However, they underestimated Yang Chen's abilities, and their plan failed. As for what happened with Zhang Fugui at the company's entrance, it was a bit more difficult to explain. Yang Chen could only say that before deciding to use Mo Qian Ni, the villains had already investigated her background. After mesmerizing Mo Qian Ni, one of them, skilled in disguise and resembling Mo Qian Ni, utilized Zhang Fugui as a pawn to cause trouble for Mo Qian Ni and Yang Chen. It not only tarnished Mo Qian Ni's reputation but also accidentally implicated Yang Chen as Mo Qian Ni's lover. However, the situation wasn't too dire because Yang Chen quickly got rid of that woman, though rumors would probably circulate for a while.

After listening, Mo Qian Ni fell silent for a while before uncertainly raising her head and asking, "So, that thing, it's actually in your possession, isn't it?"

Yang Chen was taken aback, "What thing?"

"The thing they wanted to steal, it's actually with you, isn't it? You deceived them, didn't you?" Mo Qian Ni persisted.

Yang Chen quickly shook his head, "How could that be? I really don't have it."

Mo Qian Ni gave him a strange look and continued, "Okay, hypothetically speaking, if you did have it, and if today you couldn't defeat them, would you use that thing to save my life?"

This sudden question caught Yang Chen off guard, despite his strong mental fortitude, there was a slight wavering...

Would I? Use the godstone to save this woman's life?

"I don't think it's necessary to answer that, they can't beat me," Yang Chen replied vaguely.

"I'm asking hypothetically, if you couldn't defeat them, I want you to answer me now, immediately!" Mo Qian Ni persisted stubbornly, her flushed face gradually receding into timidity, her eyes showing a hint of nervousness and apprehension, but more so anticipation.

Yang Chen silently looked at her, different scenes flashing through his mind...

The recruitment fair, the graceful figure with an intelligent smile... Sending himself to the rogue company, the cunning and domineering expression... The adorable surprised look when she saw him receive the check... Accompanying Lin Ruoxi by her bedside, her gentle and simple figure... When she was kidnapped by Lin Kun, she resisted and cursed fiercely... At the street food stall, drinking strong liquor alone, recounting her past... At the construction site, her helpless tears and determined struggle with her stepfather over a purse...

And not long ago, this woman suddenly hugged him, giving him a warm yet trembling kiss, the kiss mixed with the sweet scent of alcohol, still lingering in his breath...

Scene after scene seemed to form a short yet unforgettable movie, constantly flashing through Yang Chen's mind.

Seeing Yang Chen lost in thought, Mo Qian Ni's eyes darkened, and she lowered her eyelids.

"Forget it, if you don't want to answer..."

"I would!" Yang Chen suddenly laughed and lifted his head, his gaze clear as he looked at Mo Qian Ni, "I would exchange it, if I truly had that thing. But, I don't think that day will ever come, because they truly can't defeat me."

Mo Qian Ni felt her heart pounding wildly, she could almost hear the strong vibrations in her ears, a flush rising to the roots of her ears, her eyes shimmering with tears.

"Bang!"

The car door slammed shut once again, and Mo Qian Ni recoiled.

Yang Chen stood still, puzzled. What was this? He hurriedly knocked on the door, "Miss Mo, what are you doing? You're not a turtle, why are you hiding?"

"You're the turtle!" Mo Qian Ni huffed, opening the door again, pouting with dissatisfaction, her eyes slightly teary.

Yang Chen's eyes immediately locked onto Mo Qian Ni. This time, the gap was wide enough for him to see her voluptuous figure in the backseat. Her figure was no less captivating than a rose, Yang Chen thought to himself.

Mo Qian Ni also noticed the situation was not good. With a cry of surprise, she quickly shut the door again and shouted from inside the car, "Yang Chen, quickly go find me some clothes! You pervert! Sicko!"

Yang Chen shuddered. This woman's temper was really volatile, not cute at all, and definitely not someone who'd get pregnant from just looking.

Shaking his head with a sigh, Yang Chen hesitated about where to buy clothes for Mo Qian Ni. This wasn't just a small purchase; she had been stripped down to even her underwear. He'd never bought lingerie for a woman before.

Just then, Mo Qian Ni slightly cracked open the rear door again and handed out the keys to the Audi, dropping them on the ground.

"Open the trunk, there's a black bag with the letters 'AF' on it. It's full of clothes you can give me," Mo Qian Ni said impatiently.

Relieved, Yang Chen quickly went to open the trunk. Sure enough, there was a large pile of clothes inside. It made sense, considering the intense work environment; how could she not prepare some spare clothes?

After placing the bag near the car door, Mo Qian Ni instructed, "Turn around and step back a bit. I need to grab the bag."

Yang Chen obediently moved away, only to hear the sound of Mo Qian Ni retrieving the bag from the back.

Thinking about the beautiful woman inside the car, her wonderful figure just five or six meters away, Yang Chen couldn't help but marvel at his own purity and goodness. He endured this!

About ten minutes later, Mo Qian Ni finally changed into the clothes and stepped out of the car.

She wore a silver-gray professional suit with a white blouse featuring a floral pattern. Her hair was elegantly tied up, once again becoming the competent, charming Minister Mo.

Mo Qian Ni's gaze towards Yang Chen was slightly different, but she didn't avoid it too much. Years of experience in the workplace had given this woman an incredible level of emotional control. Even though Yang Chen had just seen her exposed, she maintained a good demeanor and said to him, "Thank you."

Yang Chen really didn't dare to accept her thanks. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have gotten into this mess. He awkwardly shook his head, "Thanks are unnecessary. I'm just thankful nothing worse happened."

Mo Qian Ni gave him a glare and asked, "You mentioned earlier that Zhang Fugui came to the company to cause trouble. Where is he now?"

"If nothing unexpected happened, he should be in the hospital. Why? Haven't you settled things with him yet?"

A hint of determination flashed in Mo Qian Ni's eyes, "I followed your advice, lied to Mom that Zhang Fugui wanted a divorce, and she wasn't even angry. She didn't care at all, so I'm sure Mom doesn't actually love him. Then I got Zhang Fugui to sign the divorce papers."

"Did you use the information I gave you at the construction site? If he doesn't sign, he'll have to go to jail, so he had no choice," Mo Qian Ni smirked, "Even though he caused some trouble today, influenced by those bad people you mentioned, it's also good. Now I can completely give up on him. I'll go to the hospital later and tell him that if he causes any more trouble, I'll take him straight to court."

"That's a good plan," Yang Chen nodded. Truly a strong woman, decisive and efficient. Yang Chen thought for a moment and asked, "But what about the other matter? You're now seen as the other woman, and we're seen as lovers. That's not good for your reputation, especially since you're a young and beautiful woman."

Mo Qian Ni blushed slightly and whispered, "It's okay..."

"What do you mean it's okay? It's not true, but as a grown man, I don't really care. But for you, a young and beautiful woman, it's not fair," Yang Chen said seriously.

Mo Qian Ni pursed her lips, "You said 'you would,' so I don't mind."

Yang Chen was puzzled by her cryptic response. What did she mean by saying she didn't mind because he said 'he would'?

Mo Qian Ni didn't seem to want to explain further. She walked towards the parking lot, but after a few steps, she stopped abruptly, turned back to Yang Chen, and said, "Yang Chen, when my mom completely ends things with Zhang Fugui, I'll find time to bring her to Zhonghai to live. It'll be convenient for me to take care of her. When that happens, I want you to come with me to my hometown. You're not allowed to refuse!"

Her words seemed to carry a hint of coquetry. After saying this, she turned around elegantly and walked away briskly.

Yang Chen stood alone, scratching his head fiercely. Suddenly, he remembered something...

A few years ago, he watched a famous American host interview the late great scientist, Stephen Hawking, asking him, "What is something that even a great mind like yours can't understand?"

Leaning on his wheelchair, Hawking, without hesitation, replied — women!
