Chapter 1744: He Is Actually Rather Dashing (14)

In the meantime.

Lu Nanze was back in his villa.

He looked somewhat sullen, thinking that Traceless and Liang Liang were in contact. He felt choked up and couldn’t be sure himself what he was feeling.

Hence, when the butler noticed his gloomy expression, he did not dare to say what he had wanted to say.

This did not escape Lu Nanze’s eyes. He snapped at the butler, “Say what you need to!”

The butler immediately lowered his head and said, “Sir, Madam has not returned since she went out with Mr. Liang.”

Upon hearing those words, Lu Nanze unleashed his temper and shouted, “It’s up to her whether she wishes to come home, what has it got to do with me?”

Butler: …

The butler fumbled to speak, not knowing where or how to start.

How could that not have anything to do with you? Isn’t she your wife?

But of course, he couldn’t say that. He hung his head.

Lu Nanze snorted and continued, “What’s in the news today?”

Ever since he had met Traceless, he had started to pay attention to the news.

The moment he asked, the butler looked up and said, “Something did happen in a well-known villa compound. There was a shooting, apparently the police were after a professional thief called Traceless. It was even rumored that this Traceless works with another criminal, that they are a criminal couple.”

Pffft. Cough! Cough! Cough! Lu Nanze spit out his tea.

The man, who never lost his composure, snapped his head up at this point to look at the butler with a shocked expression. “What did you just say?”

His expression clouded over.

In the past, he, Lu Nanze, had been a man much feared by others. Now he was a well-known tycoon in the business world. He was used to being a respected man of the upper echelons of the society. This was the first time he made news as a thief.

What sh*t was that about being a criminal couple? That was a complete insult to his position.

As he took this situation in, he heard a voice at the door, “Mr. Liang.”

Before he could say anything else, someone had charged into the house, coming right at Lu Nanze.

Liang Liang looked angry as he stood in front of Lu Nanze. He pointed a finger at the man and said, “Well, what a nice friend you are!”

With those words, he sat down on the sofa in front of Lu Nanze. “Tell me, why did you lie to me, saying that Traceless was dead? Did you know I was so depressed yesterday I almost died!”

Lu Nanze looked at the man with cold indifference and said, “Aren’t you still alive and kicking?”

Liang Liang hollered, “Why did you lie to me?!”

Lu Nanze lowered his head to study his fingers and replied, “There’s no reason. I just felt… that you didn’t have to go so far.”

Liang Liang looked up at the man in stunned silence.

Lu Nanze continued after a long pause, “Even if you broke up, why did you have to push her into a corner? She’s a woman, no matter what. Don’t you know what everyone is saying about you?”

Liang Liang clenched his fists tightly upon hearing those words.

He looked at Lu Nanze steadily and asked, “And that’s what you think of me as well?”

Lu Nanze did not try to avoid his gaze. He said, “I never thought about how you should be thought of. And how you treat Traceless is none of my business either. I have no desire to know what happened between the two of you.”

Liang Liang’s anger quickly died down after Lu Nanze’s bold statement.

He bit his lip and hung his head. With a deep sigh, he said, “Yes, something did happen between us, but I can’t say what. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone after her so relentlessly.”
