Chapter 50 - 50 Undercover Mission
[Full Moon Dwelling in the Night] seemed to have lost her speaking ability.
She stood in front of the computer with her mouth wide open.
Even the viewers, who were usually unfazed and would troll, were stunned for more than ten seconds.
What the hell was this?
Betraying his considerate and gentle wife was enough to make everyone speechless.
But for a man?
No, it wasn’t just one, but three!
“Everyone, don’t carry on with your imagination. It’s not what you think.” Chen Yu glanced at the screen as he spoke, and the viewers immediately smelled a familiar scent.
“Your husband didn’t cheat on you.”
“As for the three strong men beside him, they’re not in the kind of relationship you think.”
Chen Yu reckoned that she would faint soon if he said nothing else.
“Really?”
Everything could be forgiven as long as her husband didn’t cheat on her with someone else.
Nodding, Chen Yu said, “1 suggest that you don’t go to him directly.”
“Why is that?”
Moon was puzzled by his suggestion.
Since her husband didn’t cheat on her, why couldn’t she look for him? “Because he is in the midst of the most important decision in his life.” “The three strong men I mentioned earlier are hired thugs.” “They’re surrounding your husband, beating him up.”
Although Moon was still in pain this time, she wasn’t in much desperation.
“Dr. Chen, did my husband owe loan sharks money and can’t pay it back, so he’s being beaten up?”
“Not really.”
Chen Yu denied Moon’s speculation.
“Your husband didn’t start a business, nor did he go out of town.”
“He lied to you because he was going on a secret undercover mission.”
“Not long ago, the newspaper’s editor-in-chief took out the last of their funds and bought a big piece of news.”
“The headquarters of a fake medicine group is in your area.”
“Your husband accepted the undercover investigation. Unfortunately, his identity was exposed yesterday.”
Chen Yu’s words once again scared Moon greatly.
“Why did he accept such a dangerous mission?”
She knew her husband well.
Her husband was not a brave person.
To put it nicely, he was content with the status quo.
Honestly, he was just unmotivated.
There were many others in his media agency who could go undercover, but her husband wasn’t one of them.
“With the advent of the Internet age, the days of print media are waning by the day,” Chen Yu said calmly.
“Your husband’s newspaper agency is about to run out of capital to pay their workers’ salaries since two years ago.”
“Especially your husband’s department. Every time they dig up a major scoop, it always gets broadcasted by the online media in advance.”
“If he doesn’t come up with some news, he’ll be laid off soon.”
“Since you’ve been taking care of him all these years, he wants to do something that will make you look at him in a different light.”
“After all, every man has a hero complex and hopes to be looked up to by the person he loves.”
Hearing this, Moon suddenly came to a realization.
Her husband had indeed complained many times that his company had laid off their staff multiple times.
Those laid-off employees were all older than 35 years old.
In another year, her husband would be 35.
“I want to save him! I need to call the police to save him!”
“Dr. Chen, tell me the address!”
Moon finally understood why Chen Yu didn’t want her to look for him.
Once she went, he would probably be exposed.
“Was Dr. Chen part of a drama series?”
“Damn it; I’m about to have a heart attack because of him.”
“Auntie, I’m sorry. I apologize to your husband.”
“He’s a man.”
“I think her husband didn’t tell her because he feared she would worry too much.”
“Going undercover is dangerous. If any of your relatives are in the loop, they would constantly be worried.”
The netizens who had previously cursed her husband all apologized.
Based on Chen Yu’s explanations…
He was quite a good man.
Even though he went undercover to expose a phony drug company with selfish motives, who doesn’t have selfish motives in this world?
As long as this selfishness didn’t hurt others, no one felt there was a problem. “If you call the police, your husband will be safe and sound,” Chen Yu said.
“However, your relationship as husband and wife will come to an end.”
“Dr. Chen, I’m sorry. I might have been too emotional and started
hallucinating.”
“Can you repeat yourself?”
Moon raised her hands and patted her face, forcing herself to calm down.
“Once you call the police, you’ll be divorced.”
Chen Yu repeated with a serious expression.
“Dr… Dr.Chen, you must be joking to make me relax, right?”
Moon confirmed that she did not hear wrongly this time.
“Your husband’s identity was exposed because of the missing person notices you posted online,” Chen Yu said, shaking his head.
He looked at her dumbfounded face and continued.
“Your husband stopped contacting you that day because he successfully snuck into the phony drug production workshop.”
“This production workshop is the core of the fake medicine group.” “According to the information received by his newspaper agency, every production employee’s mobile phone will be installed with eavesdropping devices.”
“In order to complete his undercover mission and prevent his identity from being discovered, your husband destroyed his phone.”
“But he didn’t expect you to be so nervous after losing contact with him.” “Especially after you went online and posted all those missing person notices.” “The drug group felt there was a problem, so they arrested and tortured him.” “Your husband refuses to admit defeat and has been enduring for two days.” “The three thugs who are beating him up are about to realize they have hit the wrong person.”
“If you call the police and they successfully rescue your husband,”
“This drug group and himself will become the news of other agencies.”
“Thus, his newspaper agency had spent the last sum of their money for a news article for another company.”
“On National Day, his company announced its closure.”
“After your husband lost his job, he stayed home for several months, and his mind began running wild.”
“He assumed he’d get through his mission if you hadn’t called the police.” “Because you exposed his identity, other media outlets were attracted.” “Coupled with the pain of losing his job, he chose to divorce you on the first working day after the new year.”
Chen Yu told her everything that would happen after she called the police.
Then, he looked at the Moon with a meaningful gaze.
Moon was shocked at first, but then she remembered something.
“Dr. Chen, there seems to be a problem with your words.”
Moon spoke up.
“My husband will divorce me once the year is over.”
“So that means he’ll stay home until the divorce finalizes.”
“You said earlier that my husband would go somewhere else at the end of the year.”
“This doesn’t match your words.”
Moon keenly noticed the problem with Chen Yu’s words.
“I said that he’ll go somewhere else at the end of the year only on the premise that you won’t call the police,” Chen Yu said slowly.
“If I didn’t call the police, where would he go?” she asked.
“Imprisonment.”
Chen Yu raised his hand and made an eight gesture.
“Prison term, eight years..”
