However, he’s gotten smarter now. Instead of going to the hotel rooms, he rented an apartnt for Yao iling.
But it still ended up being secretly investigated by Leng Mochen’s people.
It’s clear now—he must be plotting against .
Otherwise, why would he send Yao iling to work at Mo Si Furniture? And in Wang ishu’s store, no less. Isn’t he planning it so that if anything goes wrong, the responsibility ultimately falls on Wang ishu? Who would suspect him?
Such ticulous planning, preparing on two fronts, leaving no loose ends.
If Li Si hadn’t run into them, perhaps the plan would’ve been put into action very soon.
But there’s one detail that Leng Mochen found suspicious. Since he knew that Yao iling and Li Si are classmates, wasn’t he afraid that Li Si might recognize Yao iling imdiately if she went to Wang ishu’s store? Or is there another arrangent he’s made?
Just then, Heizi called and inford him that Liu Dong had been caught.
After an interrogation, Liu Dong spilled everything.
The one who gave him the orders was a mysterious woman, though he didn’t know her identity. Sohow, she managed to get his phone number.
First, she transferred 10,000 yuan to him and promised another 30,000 yuan afterward, telling him to bring a ntally ill person to the scene to create chaos.
With nothing but idle days and no decent job, he couldn’t resist the temptation.
Coincidentally, his older brother worked at Mo Si Furniture, so he secretly donned his brother’s security uniform and snuck in with soone.
The ntally ill person was a neighbor near one of his buddies’ hos. He tricked them over with so food.
They have now used technical thods to uncover so leads.
These leads point toward Zhang Shan, whom they had already suspected. Their people have gone to Zhang Shan’s house to bring her in.
However, Heizi ntioned that even if Zhang Shan admits to being behind it, as long as it didn’t cause serious injuries or deaths, at most, she’d face charges for disrupting public order or endangering public safety.
In the end, it depends on the court. There’s a chance it might only end in fines or detention—perhaps not even heavy sentencing.
Leng Mochen sneered and hung up the phone. Even if she isn’t sentenced, he has plenty of ways to deal with her!
If Zhang Shan has the energy to make waves, then he’ll make sure she tastes the bitterness of falling from the clouds!
Checking the ti, worried about any slip-ups, he called Li Si to inform her about this situation, but no one answered.
He grew a bit concerned. Li Si had said this morning that she’d stay ho and not go out—why wasn’t she answering her phone?
Li Si had just sent Mr. Leng and Mrs. Leng off not long ago and was relaxing in the yard, strolling leisurely with Buding in her arms, while Xiao Guai darted around her, baring its teeth and occasionally scratching itself.
At that mont, Aunt Zhang walked over to report that a woman outside who introduced herself as Zhang Shan was ringing the doorbell, saying she had sothing important to tell her.
"Madam! Should I let her in?"
Li Si hesitated for a mont. "No! Just tell her I’m not at ho."
She felt zero goodwill toward Zhang Shan at this point. If Zhang Shan really had been orchestrating the chaos during Mo Si International’s opening day...
Then whatever she ca here today wanting to say, Li Si wasn’t interested in hearing it.
And even if they t—what could she possibly say?
"Understood, Madam!"
anwhile, outside, upon hearing the housekeeper say that Li Si wasn’t ho, Zhang Shan’s face showed no reaction, but internally she grew increasingly anxious.
"Li Si is clearly at ho—I know! Tell Li Si I really have sothing very important to say to her! She’ll regret not eting !"
Aunt Zhang politely responded through the intercom, "Madam is truly not at ho!"
"You—"
Before Zhang Shan could finish, the call was directly cut off.
Zhang Shan was fuming, gritting her teeth. She clearly saw Mr. and Mrs. Leng co and leave—how could Li Si possibly not be at ho?
This was clearly just her outright refusal to see her!
Li Si waited for a while before slowly heading back to the villa. As soon as she entered, she heard her phone stop ringing—it seed soone had tried calling her.
She hadn’t carried the phone with her when she went to see people off.
Xiao Guai went above and beyond by darting up to the coffee table, grabbing the phone, and bringing it to Li Si, gesturing repeatedly as if urging her to answer.
She placed Buding into the crib, smiling softly as she patted Xiao Guai’s head. "So good!"
She looked at the missed calls—one was from Leng Mochen, and two others were from unfamiliar numbers.
Li Si ignored the unknown numbers and called Leng Mochen back, but his line was busy.
She didn’t pay much attention, assuming he was occupied, thinking she’d call him later to ask.
Jiang Tong received a call from his boss, reporting Zhang Shan’s attempt to ring the doorbell and request entry.
Leng Mochen ordered him to guard the house properly and not let any outsiders in.
Outside, Zhang Shan waited for a while but got no response. Pressing the doorbell again, she realized there was no sound—it seed the power to the bell had been cut.
Li Si sure was ruthless! Disappointed, she turned and headed ho.
Li Si had just dressed Buding in a loose, one-piece romper when her phone rang again. Glancing at the caller ID, she smiled and answered, "What’s up? Calling to check on ?"
A deep, rich voice ca from the other end—Leng Mochen: "Yes—to see if you’ve been up to any mischief behind my back! Why didn’t you pick up earlier?"
"Stop it! The Leng Family’s parents ca to see the kid. I accompanied them out, then strolled around the yard for a while. By the way, Zhang Shan was just at our door, ringing the bell, saying she wanted to see ."
Li Si tossed a banana to Xiao Guai, letting it roam freely.
"Heizi has already confird it—the incident was Zhang Shan’s doing! Just ignore her."
Li Si sneered, raising a brow. "It really was her! If she’s the one behind it, does she seriously still have the audacity to co find ?"
She couldn’t understand what Zhang Shan was thinking.
"You don’t need to bother with this. Just stay ho and wait for !"
"Got it, Chief Housekeeper Leng!"
After hanging up, Li Si casually tossed her phone onto the sofa, silently watching Xiao Guai as she spaced out.
Guessing was one thing; confirming it was Zhang Shan made her feel sowhat conflicted.
When they first t, the two of them had gotten along quite well.
During that month at the confinent center, she had genuinely treated Zhang Shan warmly, playing the role of a listener.
When had their relationship started to change?
Was it when Zhang Yao rear-ended Leng Mochen’s car? Such a minor incident.
In the end, it escalated into Zhang Yao attempting suicide and getting rescued, insisting on eting Leng Mochen, and Zhang Shan not only begged Li Si over the phone but even went to Leng Mochen herself. That’s when their bond completely fractured.
Relationships between people are always so enigmatic. Good or bad often cos down to a single thought.
Even if Leng Mochen hadn’t elaborated, she knew him well enough to predict that he wouldn’t let Zhang Shan off lightly.
She figured Zhang Shan would likely regret her actions trendously in the end.
However, everyone must bear the consequences of their choices.
If they hadn’t smoothly handled things on-site, if a serious trampling accident had occurred causing injuries or deaths, Zhang Shan’s actions wouldn’t have been a re jab—they’d have claid innocent lives!
And those were real lives!
If fatalities occurred, the leaders who showed up and Mo Si International wouldn’t have been spared from accountability.
Taking it a step further—there’d be questions of accountability!
Zhang Shan had just stepped into her ho when her mother-in-law glared at her unhappily, "Where have you been? Don’t you know your child is looking for you?" (To be continued.
