Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Sell Skills, Not Body

“What are you doing?”

At the remark, Hui Yue’s heart tightened, and she looked at him guardedly.

Mu Bailang’s gaze slowly slid down from her face and settled on her perfectly proud chest, with a smile that was not quite a smile, “What do you think?”

“The contract states it clear, ‘I sell my art, not my body!'”

Hui Yue almost wrote the words “you pervert” across her face.

“If you really… can’t help thinking about that stuff, go find some other woman!”

Mu Bailang had seen women who tried hard to keep him, but he had never met one who kept pushing him away.

An alluring face turned suddenly as dark as the bottom of a pot, losing his mood to tease her.

“What are you thinking? My request is for you to accompany me back to my grandmother’s home the day after tomorrow!”

Mu Bailang paused, then added, “The news of our secret marriage has already spread within the Mu Family, and some people must see you in person.”

Hui Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief; damn it, she had actually thought Mu Bailang wanted to…

Thinking about it, Mu Bailang, surrounded by women left and right, surely didn’t lack for female company. Having partied hard all last night, even if he was a pile driver, he must be tired by now, right?

“As a top-quality actor, I guarantee I’ll play the role of Mrs. Mu perfectly the day after tomorrow.”

…

Li Mansion.

In the end, Ji Shiwang didn’t call the internal staff.

With the situation being special, a phone call could easily expose herself, so she decided to send a text message instead.

“What is the situation like inside the Li Family now?”

She received a reply shortly after.

“Just this morning, Chen Hua was confirmed to be Zhuo Chen’s biological mother via a DNA paternity test!”

Ji Shiwang sat in the hotel, the news about Chen Hua consistent with what the servant had said!

It seems that finding a fake mother for Chen Bao really was a success!

The resentment that had been building in her for a long time finally eased at this moment, and she let out a breath of relief.

As long as she was around, Ning Yichu would never be able to openly acknowledge her son!

But…

What was the situation with Shen Jiangqing?

Had she not received the message, or was she deliberately ignoring her?

It didn’t matter; her goal had been achieved. Ning Yichu’s reputation was ruined, and she couldn’t return to the Li Family.

She then sent another message to Chen Hua, “I’ve already checked, and you did a good job with this matter. I’ll pay you the remaining amount as promised.”

Little did she know, at that moment, Chen Hua and the “mole” were under Li Lingyang’s surveillance.

Their correspondence was intercepted.

Under Li Lingyang’s intimidation, Chen Hua tremblingly replied to the mysterious person, “For the sake of security, let’s deal via WeChat, here’s my payment QR code.”

“Okay.”

Ji Shiwang immediately transferred money to Chen Hua, only to find out that her transfer limit was reached!

“Shoot, I’m sorry, I forgot I just received a payment today, and I’ve exceeded my limit. Maybe you can transfer it directly to my bank card?”

WeChat has a daily transaction limit, and it cannot be used to transfer money once it’s been exceeded.

Ji Shiwang still wanted to transact with Chen Hua, so she agreed, “Send me your card number.”

“4367xxxx…”

“By midnight tonight, the money will be in your account on time!”

Once their communication ended, Chen Hua looked as though she had been pulled out from water, covered in cold sweat, “President Li…everything was done according to your instructions, the mysterious person shouldn’t be suspicious, can you let me go now?”

Li Lingyang did not respond to her and instead directed Special Assistant Xu, “Keep a close eye on that card.”

As soon as the money is received, track the location of the sender!

This time, they plan to catch them all in one net!

“Yes,” affirmed Special Assistant Xu.

He then reported the information he had found.

“President Li, we have successfully restored the phone card used by the kidnapper’s ringleader. After verification, we’ve confirmed that the phone number frequently called from that card is exactly the same as the one used by the mysterious person we’ve been tracking.”

The atmosphere was extremely somber.

Li Lingyang’s face clouded over, his eyes glinting with intense killing intent.

So, the kidnapping is also connected to this mysterious person?

Initially, the mysterious person had demanded they exchange Chengcheng for Chen Bao, but Su Huimiao secretly used Ningning instead, and they didn’t refuse…

His heart suddenly clenched, realizing something was off. In the eyes of the mysterious person, were Chen Bao and Ningning the same?

Could it be that the mysterious person already knew Ningning might be his daughter?

Or…

Were the kidnappers’ alleged demands for Chen Bao just a ruse, with the real target being Ningning?

Was the person they ultimately wanted to hurt Ning Yichu?

With a heavy expression, Li Lingyang asked, “Did that influencer and the servant who came forward reveal who’s behind this?”

Special Assistant Xu, after capturing them, used certain methods to force them to talk.

“They said they too were just paid to do a job and don’t know the identity of the person behind it. We also checked their phones but found…”

Special Assistant Xu looked grim, “The phone number they used is an international satellite number. After investigation by our tech department, it seems that it comes from two different locations and has nothing to do with the person behind the orphanage case!”

Li Lingyang’s brow furrowed tightly, “It can’t be completely unrelated. Have someone follow up on this lead; it could be related to another accomplice of the mysterious person!”

“Yes, President Li!”

After Special Assistant Xu affirmed, he immediately got busy.

With all the affairs piling up over the past few days, Li Lingyang was also physically and mentally exhausted. He glanced at his phone to see that the texts and calls he had made to Ning Yichu had still not been answered…

Ever since she was taken away by Mo Baiyou, Li Lingyang had sent her a few messages from time to time.

However, there was not a single reply.

What could she and Mo Baiyou be doing right now?

Did she have any idea that these people might have known Ningning was their daughter all along?

Feeling even more unsettled, he closed his eyes and rubbed his temples for a short rest.

Soon, a tender yet pained voice emerged from the children’s bedroom upstairs.

It was Chengcheng!

Suppressing the irritation in his heart, Li Lingyang’s long legs moved with large strides as he went upstairs.

Before even entering the children’s room, he heard Chengcheng’s heart-wrenching cough…

These last few days, with the family doctor and Shen Jiangqing’s care, Chengcheng’s fever had broken, but he still coughed from time to time.

With an extended arm, he pushed open the door and immediately saw Chengcheng lying on the bed, his face pale and coughing until his face turned red. Shen Jiangqing and Doudou were attending to him.

The family doctor and nurse were also on standby.

“Chengcheng, mommy made you some rock sugar pear syrup. Drink it, and you’ll feel better!”

“Cough…cough…thank you, mommy…” Chengcheng’s words were interrupted by coughing fits.

Shen Jiangqing feigned concern as she lifted the soup from the table, pretending to be surprised to see Li Lingyang, a look of shock crossing her face.

“Ah–”

Before she could finish saying “Ling,” she collided with Li Lingyang’s cold, contemptuous gaze, and her heart tightened. She quickly corrected herself, “Mr…. Li!”
