Leng Family.
Mrs. Leng couldn’t believe the news report she was staring at. Others might not recognize her, but she could tell in an instant from the body shape and facial features that the woman was definitely not Qian Rouxuan.
How could Qian Rouxuan and Leng Mohao walk in and out of the sa hotel back-to-back?
And how could people talk about them like this? If there truly wasn’t anything going on, would the dia dare to report it this way? Even if Leng Mohao imdiately held a press conference to explain, Mrs. Leng deeply suspected that where there’s smoke, there’s fire—there must be sothing going on!
Mrs. Leng called Qian Rouxuan’s phone, but it was turned off. At that mont, she realized—how could she still have the face to keep her phone on? Surely, soone must’ve already called her.
Furious, she stord out, determined to confront Qian Rouxuan face-to-face. What exactly was this shaless woman trying to do? She had already had a child with Mochen, and now, was she planning to entangle herself with Mohao?
If this matter got exposed, none of the Leng Family would save face.
Even worse, Mrs. Leng was now beginning to suspect whether John was truly Leng Mochen’s child.
Unfortunately, when she knocked on Qian Rouxuan’s door for ages, there was no sound at all. A neighbor opened their door and inford her that no one was ho. Mrs. Leng returned empty-handed, seething with rage.
Leng Family’s Old Manor.
Mr. Leng Sr. sat slumped in the office chair of his study, staring at the report about Leng Mohao that lay in front of him. He remained silent for a long ti.
Old Xu stood dutifully to the side, waiting for Mr. Leng’s instructions.
"Old Xu, follow my orders. It seems I’m truly getting old," Mr. Leng Sr. said softly after giving the instructions, closing his eyes to conceal the disappointnt in them.
...
Inside Long Wu’s Western restaurant. Li Si, Leng Mochen, and Xu Er had just co out of a banquet where none of them had eaten enough. As soon as they sat down, they called over the staff, ordering all kinds of delicious dishes to feast on first.
After hearing Leng Mochen’s plan to deal with Leng Mohao, Long Wu slapped his thigh in excitent. "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! This ti, we don’t even need to worry about Qian Rouxuan causing trouble at Mr. Leng Sr.’s 80th birthday celebration—I’m more concerned she won’t co. Without her, the show wouldn’t be nearly as exciting!"
"Exactly! Shasha just called earlier, saying Leng Mohao held a press conference, adamantly denying any connection to the mysterious woman and calling it a beautiful misunderstanding.
When I return to North City with Mochen later, and the big photos get revealed, he’ll truly be caught red-handed, unable to explain his way out of this one!"
Li Si interjected, saying that this ti, Leng Mohao would have a hard ti causing trouble for others—it’d be difficult enough for him to protect himself. Once Mr. Leng Sr. knew everything, would he still let Mohao off lightly?
Long Wu and Leng Mochen both nodded, their expressions serious. To deal with enemies, one must be as cold and harsh as winter.
Xu Er’s focus was clearly elsewhere. He set down his knife and fork and said, "Sisi, after you and Leng Er get back to North City, should I bring a gift for my future mother-in-law?"
Li Si’s eyes widened. She struggled to swallow her steak, suppressing her laughter—it was truly difficult.
A few days ago, Li Si had asked Bai Shasha about Xu Er, and Shasha said he wasn’t bad and was worth getting to know. That had delighted Xu Er. Now, whenever he found sothing good, he thought about buying it for Bai Shasha.
After being rejected before, he was now planning to curry favor with his future mother-in-law. What a character!
Leng Mochen’s eyes showed amusent—this Xu Er was sothing else.
Long Wu couldn’t stop laughing and patted Xu Er’s shoulder: "Xu Er, what can I even say about you? You and Shasha are just at the initial getting-to-know stage, and you’re already this eager?
Aren’t you worried Shasha will find out and decide to ignore you?"
He even exaggerated expressions at Leng Mochen and Li Si after saying this, teasing Xu Er for acting so foolishly since falling for Bai Shasha.
"Then I’ll hold off for now! Best to wait until we establish an official relationship before gifting anything," Xu Er sighed dramatically. "The revolution has yet to succeed; comrades must continue their efforts!"
This had everyone bursting into laughter again. Li Si sotis truly wondered what Xu Er had been studying abroad—his words always seed well-prepared and distinctive.
Long Wu chuckled but quickly turned serious: "Heizi has everything arranged. Those people should take action tomorrow—targeting not just Su ng but also you, Sisi.
So tomorrow, you and Leng Er must be careful. We’ll coordinate from inside and outside. This ti, let’s see if Qian Rouxuan can co up with any excuses."
Previously, Heizi had interrogated the criminals involved in Su ng’s kidnapping years ago, even letting them hear Qian Rouxuan’s voice. However, after so many years—and possibly voice modification—it wasn’t enough to be definitive evidence.
This ti, Qian Rouxuan had contacted people through her relatives. The facts were clear. As long as they caught her red-handed, they could imdiately proceed with an arrest and interrogation.
With Heizi’s thods, they were confident she would confess everything.
Leng Mochen nodded. "Understood. Announcing that we’ll return after the birthday celebration is just a diversion to confuse certain people."
"Does ng ng know this?" Li Si sat up straight. A few days ago, Heizi had gathered everyone together except ng ng to discuss the latest case progress and share his plan.
When Long Wu had first heard about it, he’d rushed out to kill Qian Rouxuan. Everyone had eventually cald him down and brought him back to his senses.
Long Wu shook his head but then grinned mysteriously: "Heizi wants to give a chance to play the hero and save the beauty!" Truly, he was his brother, always thinking about him.
Xu Er burst into laughter, joking sarcastically: "Can that cliché plot really work again and again?"
"Oh, co on!" Leng Mochen laughed and scolded. Heizi was considerate—he had already given Long Wu a chance before, and now he was creating another. Hopefully, this ti, it would truly move Su ng.
"Brother Wu, here’s to your success in winning ng ng!" Li Si raised her glass with a smile, and everyone followed suit, clinking glasses.
"See that? Only Sisi knows what to say! Sisi, wait for your brother to triumph!"
Long Wu downed his drink, then paused for a second to sigh deeply: "I asked Heizi privately about Qian Rouxuan. He said that even if we catch her in the act, her cris might not be severe enough to warrant heavy punishnt."
In truth, everyone understood—even if Qian Rouxuan was caught this ti, the worst that could happen would be a few years in prison. Compared to Su ng’s suffering over the years, what did that amount to? In their eyes, it was far too light.
Long Wu paused, his expression dark: "But, she dared to ss with and plotted against my ng ng—she’ll pay a heavy price. Those photos? Just the appetizer!
I’ve already made arrangents to ensure she suffers imnsely. Once she’s out of jail, there will be people waiting for her. By then, she’ll definitely be infamous!"
She loved starring in explicit photos and had a thing for dominant n, right? Long Wu intended to indulge her preferences but would ensure those acts were fild and distributed for free.
After letting her endure a wave of public humiliation, he’d pave an escape for her—a path to a remote mountain village, where impoverished families and lonely bachelors would surely welco soone like her with open arms.
He wanted her to experience everything Su ng had suffered, and then so—to live a half-life worse than death itself.
Leng Mochen pulled Li Si tightly into his arms, silently grateful for his actions back then. Even now, knowing Li Si had a space to hide in during monts of crisis comforted him deeply.
Li Si sensed his emotions and smiled warmly, using her gaze to tell him that it was all in the past and she was fine now.
Xu Er and Long Wu chatted while drinking, occasionally exchanging playful banter that had everyone laughing. They all knew Xu Er was lightening the mood on purpose.
After finishing their delightful al, they parted ways and headed ho. (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, consider voting for it on Qidian (qidian) with recomndation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can visit m.qidian for more Chapters.)
