Chapter 281: Chapter 281: President Li Jealously Guzzles Vinegar…

Another end.

Li Mansion, study room.

The air was quiet yet heavy, as if a massive stone was pressing down, making it difficult to even breathe.

Special Assistant Xu stood in front of the desk, a head of pressure mounting as he reported, “President Li, we’ve investigated all of Lady Ning’s friends, and we haven’t found any trace of her…”

It was as if she had mysteriously vanished in Imperial City.

“They couldn’t have left without leaving any trace unless… someone deliberately covered it up!”

In Imperial City, recalling someone with such power, Li Lingyang’s brow suddenly throbbed fiercely, “Where is Mo Baiyou now?!”

Upon mentioning this, Special Assistant Xu’s expression turned even gloomier.

“Sorry President Li, our people who were tailing Mo Baiyou were tricked and thrown off his trail, and now we’ve lost him!”

“Useless!” Li Lingyang’s face turned ugly, he couldn’t help but curse, then said, “Any news from Beiji Group?”

Special Assistant Xu responded truthfully, “He didn’t come to work today.”

Ning Yichu’s disappearance, the mysterious friend, Mo Baiyou’s absence…

Connecting all the clues, Li Lingyang’s face suddenly turned stern as a tightness gripped his heart.

The person who saved Ning Yichu today… was Mo Baiyou!

Both of them going missing at the same time, it was obviously not a coincidence!

They were likely together now…

Li Lingyang’s face quickly became covered in a layer of frost, his heart filled with all sorts of discomfort, boiling like a large pot left on the fire.

As a man, he knew all too well what Mo Baiyou felt for Ning Yichu.

And now, with such a thing happening, the two of them being together, if Ning Yichu’s heart softened once again, the consequences…

Li Lingyang didn’t dare to think further, not even for a second longer.

Damn it, he was late just by a little while, and Ning Yichu was taken away by Mo Baiyou!

“They must still be in Imperial City, send people immediately to investigate all the properties under Mo Baiyou’s name, check them one by one!”

He definitely wouldn’t give Mo Baiyou this chance!

“Understood, President Li!”

Special Assistant Xu hurried to give the orders.

Then, as if remembering something, he continued, “President Li, we contacted VB to suppress the trending searches, and all those marketing accounts have issued apology statements. Only that big V and the maid who came forward are now on the run, and we have locked down the area and sent people after them.”

Those who dared to bully him, thinking they could flee? Not so easy!

“Tell our people to speed up, by any means necessary, we must find out who’s behind them!”

Li Lingyang was in no mood to be placated, his eyes colder than ever, “How is the investigation at the psychiatric hospital going?”

“We’ve visited the doctors and nurses at the psychiatric hospital and checked the local area network of that district, finding there was indeed an extra signal, leading to the speculation that… Shen Jiangqing may have communication equipment on her!” Special Assistant Xu reported.

Heh, she’s looking for a path to heaven and won’t walk it, now… she’s courting death again, is she?

Well then, he’d grant her wish!

Let her taste the flavor of absolute despair!

Li Lingyang narrowed his eyes, “With Shen Jiangqing alone, this incident couldn’t have occurred. Have the hacker monitor her device, let’s bait out the person behind her!”

“Yes!” Assistant Xu responded and then left the room.

Li Lingyang, thinking about the disappearance of Ning Yichu and Mo Baiyou, felt a restlessness in his chest, frustration peaking.

His face darkened as he couldn’t help but light up a cigarette, taking a heavy drag.

It was so late now, what were Ning Yichu and her group doing?

Mo Baiyou wouldn’t be plotting anything against her, would he?

Damn it!

‘Knock knock knock…’

Just as his mind was in chaos, a knock sounded from outside.

Li Lingyang wasn’t in the best of moods, “Come in!”

The door to the study opened.

Shen Jiangqing walked in wearing a white floral dress.

Her face was pale, eyes red-rimmed, barely able to withstand any more turmoil, stirring a protective instinct in people’s hearts.

But Li Lingyang knew it was all a facade, his eyes reflecting a sharp light, his tone unapologetic, “Who let you in?”

“Aling, don’t be angry, I didn’t mean to disturb you, it’s just…”

Shen Jiangqing’s tears swirled in her eyes, “Chengcheng’s fever may have subsided, but he’s been coughing incessantly, and I’m really worried. I wanted to talk to you about it and to find out more about Chengcheng’s life recently.”

Her relationship with Li Lingyang was in tatters, so she hoped to use her child as an excuse to ease things.

Li Lingyang saw right through her, eyes full of scorn, “If you’re worried about Chengcheng’s health, you should ask the doctor. If you want to know about his living situation, ask the butler. I don’t want to see you. Get out!”

Shen Jiangqing seemed to be struck by a blow, she stumbled, her face turning ugly in an instant.

“Aling, are you still holding a grudge about what happened before…”

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Lingyang’s cold gaze bore down on her, filled with threatening overtones.

Aling?

What gave her the right to address him like that?

A cold chill rose from Shen Jiangqing’s feet, creeping up her spine and causing goosebumps.

Where could Shen Jiangqing dare say more, she quickly mentioned going to see Chengcheng and ran out, heading to the second-floor balcony.

Thinking over the recent events, she furrowed her brow and clenched her fingers tightly.

Given Li Lingyang’s current attitude toward her, mending their relationship was impossible!

After pondering for a few seconds, she glanced to the left and to the right to make sure no one was looking and then pulled out her cell phone to send a message.

“Is the job done?”

A few seconds later, a reply came.

“Don’t worry, everything is under control!”

Seeing the text message response, Shen Jiangqing’s anxious heart stabilized somewhat, but as she inadvertently glanced downstairs, she noticed Doudou watching TV and couldn’t help but curse inwardly, bastard!

If she was going through a tough time, Ning Yichu shouldn’t expect to have it any better.

Unbeknownst to her, her phone was already being monitored by Li Lingyang’s men!

…

“Uncle Mo Shuai, Mommy, can I eat this?”

Inside the supermarket of the Ziyu Run Garden complex, Ningning picked up a packet of spicy strips from the shelf, her innocent eyes filled with desire as she spoke.

Mo Baiyou looked into her eyes, his heart melting.

Buy!

Never mind spicy strips, if Ningning wanted the entire supermarket, he would buy it for her…

Just as he was about to agree, Ning Yichu’s soft voice rang out.

“Mr. Mo, don’t let the little girl fool you, Ningning has had junk food at least three times this week. According to the rules, she can’t have any more this week!”

Ningning instantly felt guilty, pouting her lips, “Mommy, do you have to remember so well?”

If only her memory could fail her so she could have her snacks!

“Actually, having it one more time wouldn’t hurt~” Ningning blinked her eyes towards Mo Baiyou, hoping he would back her up.
