Gu Kai could discern the hostility in his voice and fell silent for a moment. He tried to comfort MO Xiuchen, “I’ve already had someone send me the video of Xiao Wenqing asking Wen Ran to dine with him, along with the test results of the shark fin soup. Even if it won’t put Xiao Wenqing under legal sanction, it could at least… ‘
“It’s not necessary at the moment.”
MO Xiuchen interrupted Gu Kai’s suggestions. Relying only on the shark fin soup evidence won’t be enough to completely deal with Xiao Wenqing. He had been investigating for years in order to gather comprehensive evidence, to ensure that Xiao Wenqing would have no chance to recover. “Then later I will send both the video and the test results to you.” “I will retrieve them from the hospital tomorrow.”
After speaking in a low voice, MO Xiuchen ended the call without saying goodbye.
Previously, he thought that the accident at the construction site was merely an unexpected incident. The worker who dropped the brick insisted it was due to a sudden muscle cramp, resulting in him not holding it firmly.
Now, MO Xiuchen suspected that the ‘accidents’ on the construction site might not be accidental but rather, meticulously planned by someone. Regardless of whether the brick hit him or Cheng Jia, it was a mishap.
Keeping him preoccupied, was an opportunity for Xiao Wenqing to strike Wen
Ran.
These numerous schemes were interlinked, indeed a relentless pursuit, similar to how Xiao Wenqing attempted to kill him eighteen years ago.
The cold light shone on his stern features. Like a bottomless pool, his deep eyes had become ominous. The man he was today was no longer the powerless boy from years past. He would not allow Xiao Wenqing to succeed.
His contemplation was interrupted by the sudden ring of his cell phone. He gathered himself, pressed the answer button and a low, “Hello,” escaped his thin lips.
“Xiuchen, I found him. That man’s name is Wu Tianyi…”
The voice on the other end belonged to Luo Haofeng. After considerable effort, he finally identified the mastermind behind the previous drug incident.
After listening to Luo Haofeng’s words, a ruthless, bloodthirsty look flashed in MO Xiuchen’s eyes. He said coldly, “Wu Tianyi is currently in G City, I will have someone find him. You don’t need to investigate further.”
“Okay!”
On the other end of the phone, Luo Haofeng agreed calmly.
After ending the call, MO Xiuchen dialed another number, asking for detailed information about Wu Tianyi.
After organizing these series of events, he finished smoking a cigarette and stayed in his study for a while before stepping out.
In the extravagant master bedroom, the dim, soft lighting and lingering traces of their intimate moments filled the air. Seeing the woman sleeping soundly in their expansive bed, the coldness between his brows gradually faded and a hint of warmth filled his eyes.
After remaining lonesome for so many years, he finally had someone who gave him warmth by his side. He wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt her.
His thin lips formed a determined line. After standing in front of the bedroom for quite some time, he finally walked over, laid down on the bed, and pulled the sleeping Wen Ran into his chest. She had already gotten used to his chest these past days, being in his arms, she found a comfortable position and continued her sweet dream.
Wen Ran was a little surprised to see Zhou Lin at the company.
Zhou Lin greeted her proactively, and Wen Ran responded indifferently, casually asking “Didn’t you extend your vacation? How come you’re back so soon?”
Zhou Lin smiled prettily, saying happily, “Zixuan came to pick me up the night before, so I had to come back with him yesterday. Ranran, let me share some good news. ”
As she spoke, Zhou Lin eagerly took Wen Ran’s hand, acting as friendly as she was before any of their ordeals. She seemed to have completely forgotten their sisterly bond.
Wen Ran perfunctorily tugged at the corner of her mouth, stealthily withdrawing her hand from Zhou Lin’s grip and brushing a stray hair behind her ear, “What’s the good news?”
Zhou Lin laughed and said, “Zixuan suggested I should move into the Mol s mansion to nurture the baby.”
Wen Ran paused for a moment and then chuckled lightly, “Is that so? Well, that really is good news. Congratulations.”
Seeing that Wen Ran didn’t seem upset, Zhou Lin felt both indignant and relieved for Zixuan. On one hand Zhou Lin thought Zixuan deserved better but on the other hand, she felt happy.
If Wen Ran wasn’t interested in Zixuan, eventually he would grow tired and turn to her for affection.
“Thank you, Ranran. By the way, I heard that you were in trouble while you were in F City. You were kidnapped and injured. Is it true? Where were you hurt and how serious was it?”
Wen Ran casually said, “It’s a minor injury, it’s healed now. What about your dad? How’s his leg? Can he still work? You’re going to be a mom soon, he doesn’t really need to work so hard. He could be happily retired at home.”
When Zhou Mingfu was brought up, Zhou Lin’s eyes flickered with anxiety. Unexpectedly, she agreed with Wen Ran’s suggestion, “Ranran, you’re right. I’ll go home and persuade my father, and see whether he’s willing to retire earlier.”
Wen Ran was taken aback. She managed a faint smile on her pristine, pale face. “You’re carrying the MO family’s heir, it’s best to stay home and nurture the baby. There are all sorts of medicines in the pharmaceutical factory. If you inhale any harmful substances by accident, it would be bad for the baby.”
Zhou Lin looked surprised, as if she had never thought of this. Upon Wen Ran’s reminder, she let out a startled gasp. “Ranran, thank you for reminding me. I had really not thought of that. You’re right, I’m carrying the MO family’s heir, who could potentially be the successor of the MO family. I can’t work anymore, Ranran, I will take one year off.”
Wen Ran chuckled, “Why take a year off? Isn’t the MO family capable of supporting you? Once you’re a part of MO family, just relax and be the young mistress. Why do you still care about this job?”
“That’s right, Ranran, I’ll go home and discuss it with Zixuan. Thank you!”
After speaking, Zhou Lin swiftly left, as if spending an additional minute in the pharmaceutical factory could harm her unborn child.
Wen Ran watched Zhou Lin’s hurried departure, her eyebrows furrowing slightly and her eyes deep in thought.
Zhou Lin had been strange today. She seemed to believe everything Wen Ran said. Was it true that pregnant women tend to be more gullible?
Back in her office, Li Qian followed her in with files in her hands, asking doubtfully, “Ranran, just now I saw Zhou Lin leaving in a hurry. Isn’t she here for work?”
Wen Ran sat behind her desk and took the files from Li Qian, responding indifferently, “She’ll soon become the young mistress of the MO family and wouldn’t need this job. She went back to discuss this with Zixuan.”
“Tsk, she must be dreaming. How could Zixuan possibly be willing to support
Li Qian commented disdainfully. While Wen Ran was dating Zixuan, she had noticed Zhou Lin’s fondness for him. After President Wen and Madam Wen passed away, Zhou Lin and Zixuan ended up together. She always felt Zhou Lin had a cunning scheme. However, even if Zixuan still held feelings for Wen Ran, he was no longer good enough for her, especially with a mother as vicious as his..
