<strong>Chapter 1089: Chapter 1081: Wary Eyes</strong>


    That’s why Ren Tianye was very wary of people with unknown identities, especially when this assistant allowed someone in without asking him. You tell me, could Ren Tianye not be angry?


    When he heard Xiao Yifei inquiring about his box, Ren Tianye panicked instantly. His mind started wandering towards the worst possibilities; after all, his items were bought from a thief and were considered stolen property. Maybe it’s the authoritiesing for him.


    Thinking of this, Ren Tianye nervously nced at Xiao Yifei. However, what Ren Tianye didn’t know was that the person in front of him wasn’t the authority but the owner of the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle!


    Xiao Yifei’s thoughts were identical to Ren Tianye’s. This nervous reaction and the wary look clearly said, there are things inside my box that shouldn’t be seen. “President Ren, I’m just asking one question. Why so nervous?” Xiao Yifei smiled and said.


    Upon hearing this, Ren Tianye also realized his reaction was a bit extreme. He hastily ced the box on the table, but of course, kept it close to himself. It was clear that Xiao Yifei’s question had made Ren Tianye a bit embarrassed. Before Ren Tianye could settle the box, Xiao Yifei continued questioning, “President Ren, I came today just to ask what exactly is inside the box.”


    Xiao Yifei spoke with such sincerity as if he was genuinely curious about the box. However, how could Ren Tianye, a seasoned member of society, trust Xiao Yifei’s words? You could only hear Ren Tianyeugh and say, “It’s nothing precious, just some trinkets.”


    Ren Tianye said this even when he felt a bit guilty, as the things inside weren’t exactly unremarkable, considering he spent a full ten million on them. Hearing this, Xiao Yifeiughed along with Ren Tianye, “How could President Ren keep trivial trinkets here? In my opinion, it surely wouldn’t be embroidery needles.” Saying this, Xiao Yifei’s expression quickly changed, frowning as he looked at Ren Tianye.


    Upon hearing this, Ren Tianye’s heart sank. His previously still smiling face instantly darkened. After a while, Ren Tianye ced the box aside, his eyes firmly fixed on Xiao Yifei, even his tone was quite hesitant, “Mr. Xiao, really, it’s just some insignificant trinkets. I hope Mr. Xiao can believe me.”


    From his tone, Xiao Yifei could tell it wasn’t that simple. Now Ren Tianye was likely trying to intimidate Xiao Yifei, implying, if you don’t believe me, don’t expect to walk out of here. So, Xiao Yifei went along with Ren Tianye’s words and said, “How could President Ren’s words be false? Of course, I believe you.”


    Upon hearing this, Ren Tianye’s face looked slightly better, but the wariness towards Xiao Yifei still remained, “Mr. Xiao, you came to me without any cause, and asked about this box without any cause, do you truly think this ce is your home? Come and go as you please?”


    Hearing Ren Tianye say this, Xiao Yifei was somewhat speechless. It seemed that Ren Tianye was indeed no good fellow, just as he had assumed. “President Ren is joking. Although I came for this box, it holds no other meaning. Many apologies for the offense, I hope President Ren may forgive me.” Xiao Yifei started being polite.


    With Xiao Yifeipromising in this way, Ren Tianye no longer had anything to worry about. Previously, he had thought Xiao Yifei might be undercover, but after seeing himpromised reluctantly, hepletely dismissed this idea. “Enough, don’t be polite with me, I don’t fall for this. It will be hard for me to see you again.”


    Speaking, Ren Tianye’s face turned dark as he looked at Xiao Yifei, “Unless, you leave your life here.” The threat could not be greater, intending for Xiao Yifei to be frightened and not dare toe again to inquire about the box. However, Ren Tianye was mistaken. Xiao Yifei was simrly not a good fellow.


    Only seeing Xiao Yifei listen to Ren Tianye’s threats, he coldly stared at him and said word by word, “You can try.” These few words carried some deterrent power no matter who uttered them. But when Xiao Yifei said them, it was especially chilling, making Ren Tianye’s heart flinch; he had heard this phrase countless times over the years.


    And likewise, this time, it left the deepest impression on Ren Tianye. He didn’t understand why these simple words from the mouth of this person in front of him carried such intimidation.


    “President Ren, I won’t disturb you anymore, goodbye.” Xiao Yifei said, ncing at Ren Tianye, let out a cold sneer, and then left. Leaving Ren Tianye alone in the office staring dazedly at the box, to be precise, was startled, because Ren Tianye might not even realize that cold sweat on his forehead wasing out along with his breathing.


    Out of the building, Xiao Yifei pondered over Ren Tianye. Seeing his demeanor, Xiao Yifei understood what was in Ren Tianye’s box. What else could it be, if not his Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle? Especially when Xiao Yifei mentioned embroidery needles, he was even more certain of its content.


    Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei sighed. Unfortunately, being alone, it was not wise to easily provoke Ren Tianye, otherwise, it would be a problem whether Xiao Yifei could get out himself. However, now knowing Ren Tianye had his Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, Xiao Yifei wasn’t in a hurry. There would always be an opportunity for him to steadily and surely retrieve his Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle.


    With this in mind, Xiao Yifei casually gged a car and headed back swiftly to Hua Mansion. “How did it go, are you alright?” As soon as he returned to Hua Mansion, Hua Lao couldn’t help but ask.


    “How did it go?” Hua Lao asked worriedly seeing Xiao Yifei return empty-handed. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei shook his head, appearing somewhat helpless. Seeing this, Hua Lao understood roughly, so he patted Xiao Yifei’s shoulder and said earnestly, “It’s alright, it’s good no harm hase to you.”


    Listening to Hua Lao’s words, Xiao Yifei nodded, “But it’s notpletely without gains.” Xiao Yifei thought as he spoke. Hearing this sentence, Hua Lao smiled, quietly listening to Xiao Yifei’s findings, “Previously, I confirmed my Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle is in his possession.” Saying so, Xiao Yifei let out a bitter smile.


    “Can it be confirmed?” Hua Lao asked skeptically. Xiao Yifei nodded and said, “Absolutely!” The serious lookpelled Hua Lao to believe. It seemed Xiao Yifei’s Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle was indeed with Ren Tianye. Thinking about this, Hua Lao couldn’t help but furrow his brow and said, “What do you n to do?”


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei’s eyes spun, seemingly contemting a strategy. Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Yifei slowly said, “No matter how he acquired it, they are all stolen goods; I n to inform Hua Xiangrong of Ren Tianye’s actions. This way, leveraging the strength of the authorities, I refuse to believe Ren Tianye can continue to be arrogant.”


    Listening to Xiao Yifei’s idea, Hua Lao nodded in approval. Indeed, in terms ofw, the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle currently in Ren Tianye’s possession could only be considered stolen property, and as such, must be surrendered. Then he would have no say in the matter.


    Thinking of this, Hua Lao couldn’t help but admire Xiao Yifei, being calm andposed, appearing every bit capable of achieving great things. Hua Lao thought, the smile on his face was hard to conceal, “Alright, do as you suggest. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to let me know.” Hua Lao nced at Xiao Yifei, smilingly said.
