After Marrying the Top Alpha of a Wealthy Family, I Am Spoiled Rotten Chapter 24

Chapter 24

The door suddenly started knocking.

No one paid attention, so it knocked a second time, then a third.

The pheromones in the air surged violently.

Lin Chuanwu's brows and eyes showed a hint of hostility.

Wen Yan was fully awake now and pushed Lin Chuanwu away.

Lin Chuanwu rubbed his temples and got out of bed. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Qiu Tian's clear face.

Lin Chuanwu adjusted his tie, looking at him coldly.

"You better have something important to report."

The overwhelming hostility pressed down, and Qiu Tian was terrified, not knowing what he had done wrong.

He hurriedly whispered, "You asked me to investigate the cause of Mr. Wen's brother's death, and there's a bit of a lead."

Lin Chuanwu's anger subsided a bit, and he turned his face to pay attention to Wen Yan's movements, making sure he hadn't heard what they were talking about.

"Wait for me in the study."

After Qiu Tian left, Lin Chuanwu returned to the bed, seeing Wen Yan's flushed cheeks as he was buttoning up, his mood worsened, "Come back and continue."

Wen Yan lowered his eyes, his gaze complicated, "Is there something important?"

"Just some work matters," Lin Chuanwu dodged the question.

"Okay," Wen Yan didn't ask further.

At the study door.

Qiu Tian's legs were trembling, "Brother, you just told me to find President Lin, and for some reason, President Lin was very angry. I haven't even been in front of him these days, and I didn't do anything wrong."

Qiu Yi patted Qiu Tian's shoulder guiltily, "You interrupted President Lin's good time."

"Good time?"

Qiu Yi shook his head helplessly, "Silly kid."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a tall figure, and Qiu Yi immediately fell silent and stood straight.

Qiu Tian had a look of sudden realization, "Could it be that President Lin was with Mr. Wen… doing that?"

"Which one?" Lin Chuanwu stood in front of him, asking coldly.

Qiu Tian gasped.

"This ferry company is not under the Lin Corporation; it was opened by Lin Wuyou and a partner a couple of years ago."

"The legal representative of the company is Lin Wuyou, but the actual controlling shareholder is his partner. We've been following the clues to investigate this partner, and we really found something."

Lin Chuanwu sat behind the desk, biting a cigarette with a snow orchid flavor, his expression growing colder and more serious in the dim light.

"You guessed right about this partner; he is indeed a high-ranking official, Yan Lifeng."

"Two years ago, whenever Haitianyihou sailed, he was there. But ever since Mr. Wen's brother died, he has kept a low profile and almost never attended any gatherings."

"If Mr. Wen's brother's death is really related to him, it becomes much more complicated, as the other party is not an ordinary person," Qiu Yi pondered, "Should we continue investigating?"

Lin Chuanwu took the cigarette down and placed it on the table.

Just as he was about to answer, a noise suddenly came from outside the door.

Qiu Yi wanted to go out and check, but Lin Chuanwu stopped him, his gaze darkening, "Investigate."

In the living room, a woman who couldn't speak looked worried, gesturing something with her hands.

Wen Yan couldn't understand, but he knew she was probably concerned about him.

Wen Yan smiled, "It's nothing, I accidentally spilled it."

In the kitchen, there was a cup of spilled water.

He had heard the word "brother" and guessed that Lin Chuanwu had found something again, so he pretended to deliver water to listen in.

Sure enough…

Yan Lifeng…

"Don't tell him I went to the study," Wen Yan added.

The woman who couldn't speak nodded.

Qiu Yi and Qiu Tian came out of the study, greeting Wen Yan respectfully.

Wen Yan politely bid them farewell and saw them to the door.

Turning around, Lin Chuanwu was standing right behind him.

This scene gave Wen Yan an illusion, as if they were really a loving couple, entertaining guests and seeing them off.

After dinner, Lin Chuanwu went to the study to take a call.

Wen Yan was working in another small study, the ship scene was fully set up, and he repeatedly checked it, then designed the game plot.

The eighth level revealed the most important clue about his brother's disappearance.

The main storyline was how to obtain clues from NPCs.

Wen Yan temporarily designed a plan and planned to discuss it with the team tomorrow. When he checked the time, it was already nine o'clock, so he shut down the computer and returned to the bedroom.

Wen Yan had just lain down when the door opened, and Lin Chuanwu was done with his work.

The bed beside him sank, and a weight pressed on his waist—it was the alpha's forearm.

His eyelashes fluttered, and he found himself face to face with him.

Lin Chuanwu wrapped him in his arms, forehead to forehead, nose to nose, their breaths mingling.

Lin Chuanwu's lips brushed against his, just a light kiss, not going deeper, then rubbed against his cheek.

In a daze, it felt like the intimate whispers of lovers.

A warm current surged in Wen Yan's heart.

He pursed his lips, unsure of what to do.

"Why didn't you continue being a teacher?" Wen Yan heard him ask.

Why…

Wen Shichuan originally studied petroleum engineering, but after graduation, he didn't like it and went into game development.

Because of this, Wen Jingming was very angry, and at that time, Wen Yan didn't quite understand.

After Wen Shichuan disappeared, Wen Yan quit his teaching job and went to the game company where Wen Shichuan had worked.

He wanted to know why Wen Shichuan liked doing this.

"Once we find out the cause of your brother's death, do you want to continue being a teacher?" Lin Chuanwu bit his ear.

"I haven't thought about it," Wen Yan replied softly.

Then, Lin Chuanwu propped himself up on his arm, staring at him.

"I'm already helping you investigate your brother's matter, so you're not allowed to do anything dangerous."

"Otherwise, if I find out…" Lin Chuanwu gripped Wen Yan's chin tightly, turning his face towards him, slowly rubbing Wen Yan's cheek, and whispered sinisterly in his ear, "I will really f*** you to death."

Wen Yan shivered with a racing heart.

Lin Chuanwu fell asleep.

Wen Yan stared at his phone, learning from those cheating husbands online to set up a phone clone.

One mode was specifically for Lin Chuanwu to see, and the other mode was only for chatting with Lin Wanfu.

Thanks to Lin Chuanwu and his timely intervention, Lin Wanfu didn't get anything out of Chen Xiang, and Lin Wanfu didn't suspect him for now.

He could still extract some information from Lin Wanfu.

Lin Wanfu had sent him a message yesterday.

-Your husband shouldn't have discovered us, right?

-No.

Lin Wanfu quickly replied.

-Do you want to come to the Haitianyihou gathering in two days? We haven't seen each other in a while.

Wen Yan glanced at Lin Chuanwu.

-I… won't go.

During this short time together, Wen Yan had come to deeply understand Lin Chuanwu's character. If he really found out that he secretly went to the ship, the consequences… Wen Yan didn't dare to think further.

This time, Wen Yan chatted with him mainly to inquire about Yan Lifeng.

Lin Chuanwu wouldn't tell him, probably not wanting him to know too much, as Yan Lifeng wasn't an ordinary person.

The less he knew, the safer it was.

But if the other party was really related to Xiao Chuan's disappearance, how could he remain indifferent?

-Yan Lifeng? Why are you asking about him?

If what Qiu Yi said was true, that the actual controlling company of the ferry company was Yan Lifeng, and Haitianyihou was actually Yan Lifeng's asset, then Lin Wanfu and Lin Wuyou might be working for Yan Lifeng in secret, so it was normal not to tell him.

But unexpectedly, Lin Wanfu sent another message.

-He has some cooperation with my family, and he will also attend this Haitianyihou gathering.

"To obtain clues from NPCs, players need to find the NPC's weaknesses."

In the Doudou Bear Company meeting room, Wen Yan was having a meeting with a few of his employees.

"If this NPC likes money, then we let players earn more gold to bribe them."

"If they like beauty, then we let players dress up in a way the NPC likes to gain their favor."

"Based on this, we add some depth to the NPC, making them appear to love money and beauty on the surface, but deep down, they lack love and a sense of security."

Wen Yan listened carefully to their various opinions, and after they finished, he said, "First, establish a superficial weakness for the NPC, like a love for money, beauty, or power, then set a deeper weakness, like Chang Jing mentioned, where the NPC lacks love and a sense of security."

"I'm considering setting this NPC as the mastermind behind the brother's disappearance, and we could design a main storyline where they also have a brother, but their brother died, so they want to take the player's brother as their own, or out of jealousy, they directly killed the player's brother."

"Of course, it doesn't have to be a brother; it could be a lover or a friend, but it needs to be something that the player's brother can trigger in this NPC."

Wen Yan checked the time, "Let's go have lunch first, and we'll continue discussing this in the afternoon."

The serious atmosphere instantly dissipated, with some stretching and others playing games. Wen Yan closed his laptop and was about to leave the meeting room when Chang Jing and Liu Ren approached.

"Boss, are you hiding something from us?"

The two crossed their arms, looking like they were interrogating him.

Wen Yan blinked, "I'm not hiding anything from you."

"Then what's on your hand?" Chang Jing almost jumped up.

"Five fingers, none of them wearing a ring, except the ring finger," Liu Ren said quietly, "Don't tell me it's just for decoration."

The usually calm young man in the workplace became uneasy.

"This…" There was nothing to hide from them, Wen Yan said softly, "I'm married."

Chang Jing looked at Liu Ren and slapped the table, "See, I told you the boss was married, pay up."

Liu Ren reluctantly took out two hundred yuan.

After taking the money, Chang Jing said angrily, "Boss, we've been loyal to you, listening to everything you say, and you didn't even tell us about such a big thing."

"Yeah, yeah."

"Sorry…" Wen Yan lowered his eyes.

"Is it an omega or a beta?"

"It's an alpha."

Chang Jing and Liu Ren's eyes widened in unison.

"Boss, don't tell me it's Lin Chuanwu from the Lin Corporation."

Not knowing how she guessed it, Wen Yan covered his eyes with his hand, not denying it, "It's him."

"Oh my!" Liu Ren was shocked, "How did you guess?"

"Remember last time we had dinner with Liu Feng, and Lin Chuanwu was there too? I noticed something was off between them, and it turns out I was right!"

"Alright, stop talking, go eat," Wen Yan interrupted them helplessly.

After the afternoon meeting, Wen Yan lingered at Gu Yi's office door, and Gu Yi happened to come out, asking curiously, "Is there something you need?"

Wen Yan shook his head, "No."

Then he returned to his workstation.

Actually, he was planning to ask Gu Yi for leave.

The day after tomorrow, there's a gathering on Haitianyihou, and he… wants to go.
