Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Boss Wants a Divorce?

Time ticked by.

As Zhao Renjie had guessed, the phone call ended in less than three minutes.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

It seemed as though something was furiously slammed to the ground by Leng Lingxiao, causing Tian Jiaojiao, who was outside the hall, to jump in fright. She timidly looked at Zhao Renjie and asked, "Is he angry?"

"I don’t know."

The indifferent three words from Zhao Renjie made Tian Jiaojiao even more frightened; she clutched her folder tightly. "Brother Zhao, I think I’ll come back later. I just remembered, there seem to be a few more things I need to organize. I’m leaving now, bye."

"Oh, all right then."

"Right, please don’t tell anyone I was here, I’m counting on you, Brother Zhao."

"Sure, no problem."

Tian Jiaojiao tiptoed away.

After a few seconds of pause, Zhao Renjie merely cracked a slight smile and then turned to enter the hall.

He knew that at this moment, his master definitely needed his massage. While others could hide, he could not; he had to be by his master’s side.

...

Western Suburb of Jin City, Yishen Pharmaceutical Factory.

These past few days, since Li Zishen was not around, some internal affairs of the group were handled by Second Uncle Lai, Li Wanshan, and Third Uncle Lai, Lai Jingshan.

Like the emergency meeting this afternoon.

The two elders split tasks, one meeting with the drug research personnel and the other with the factory’s department managers.

At four in the afternoon, shortly after Li Wanshan’s meeting concluded, he left the research building to return to Wuyou Pavilion.

He wanted to get home early to play mahjong with his wife.

Although the shares tumult had subsided three days ago, Second Aunt Lai still refused to let Li Wanshan return to the master bedroom, leading to gossip among the servants.

For this reason, he decided to take up Secretary Li’s suggestion to cater to his wife’s interests.

Yet just as Li Wanshan was about to leave the building, he noticed a car from Nanjiang Villa speeding by not far away, which somewhat surprised him.

It was a birthday gift Li Zishen had given to his mother last year, quite an expensive model and the newest at the time.

Everyone knew Madam Lai hardly went out.

After Li Zishen took charge of the group, she rarely made public appearances and completely stayed out of the pharmaceutical factory’s affairs, leading a retired life.

Her days were spent either gardening or practicing.

Back then, as the helmsman of Yishen Group, Li Zishen was only 18 years old and didn’t know much about many things. However, whenever he sought advice from Madam Lai, she would decline, using her lack of medical knowledge as an excuse.

However, that wasn’t really the truth; Li Zishen’s maternal grandfather was a well-known local traditional medicine doctor, especially skilled in acupuncture and massage.

Even after his passing, his uncle took over and kept the family’s medical practice thriving.

Li Zishen didn’t find out about this until he turned 20.

Li Wanshan had always been perplexed. His gentle and virtuous sister-in-law, why she would conceal her own family background, even avoiding contact with her maternal family. This led to Li Zishen, now 25, having yet to meet his own uncle.

It was indeed puzzling.

What was she doing at the pharmaceutical factory now?

"Xiao Li."

Secretary Li immediately signaled to a bodyguard with a glance.

The man got into a car and followed.

...

minutes later, Wuyou Pavilion.

Secretary Li received a phone call—it was from the bodyguard.

Knowing that Li Wanshan was currently playing mahjong with his wife, he chose not to disturb them in the living room.

When Li Wanshan returned to his study, Secretary Li had been waiting at the door for almost an hour.

"Speak, what happened?"

"Boss, it was Nanny Wu. After leaving the factory, she went to Wei Pinzhai, bought some pastries, then headed to the nearby Book Pavilion, stayed for about five minutes, and then went back to the villa."

"Have our people returned yet?"

"Half an hour ago, I had notified him to return, he should be refueling the car by now," Secretary Li said as he handed over the cellphone with both hands.

Immediately, the study became eerily silent.

"Are the photos clear?"

"They are all taken from close range, very clear."

Li Wanshan finished watching two surveillance videos and more than a dozen secretly taken photos in one breath. Then, he stroked his grizzled temples and fell into deep thought.

Looks like Lin Ping is quite close to her, isn’t he!

But what are they doing at Wei Pinzhai and Book Pavilion?

Switched to sweets, no longer into a hard pen calligraphy, and starting to practice high-end brush writing?

Interesting, very interesting!

Seeing this, Secretary Li hurried forward, "Boss, actually, it’s nothing serious. I guess it’s just Madam Lai reminiscing about the past, asking Nanny Wu to go see Lin Ping. After all, she used to deliver medicine to Madam Lai. It’s also common sentiment to check on him."

"It’s not that simple!" Li Wanshan sneered twice, then tossed the cellphone back to Secretary Li, "Go find someone sharp and reliable immediately. Starting from today, have them shadow Nanjiang Villa closely. wherever Nanny Wu goes, follow her."

"Boss, what is this..."

Li Wanshan slammed the files down and scolded, "Just do what I tell you to do, why the chatter?"

"What if it’s Madam Lai?"

"How did I end up with such an idiot?"

"Yes, Boss, I’ll arrange it immediately."

Secretary Li left in a state of shock and anxiety, sweating profusely.

Rich families are nowhere simple!

Everyone has their schemes, none well-intentioned!

Despite cursing internally, the tasks still had to be arranged.

Although Li Wanshan had a nasty temper and often vented on his subordinates, fortunately, he was generous with tips and offered high salaries.

While passing through the living room, Secretary Li, preoccupied with sending messages to arrange tasks, accidentally bumped into Second Aunt Lai.

"Oh, you little rascal!"

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Madam, are you alright?"

Second Aunt Lai lifted her head high, looking impatiently at Secretary Li: "Walk properly, what are you doing on that phone? All you men never give me peace. If it happens again, watch out..."

"I dare not, Madam, please don’t be angry."

"Tell me, what is he making you do?"

When they were alone, Secretary Li truthfully informed her.

He thought that, in doing so, he wouldn’t be praised but at least wouldn’t be scolded, avoiding potential troubles with Second Aunt Lai in the future.

But the outcome stunned him.

"Good, he’s actually setting his sights on that vixen; is he thinking about divorcing?"

Secretary Li: "?"

"Good for you, old fool, impressive. I wondered why you were so kind today, even playing a few rounds of mahjong with me. Just now, my sisters were speaking well of you. Turns out you are watching both the dish and the pot; what a calculated move!"

"Madam, the boss meant sincerely to accompany you."

"Cut it out. He’d be glad if I died sooner, don’t I know his little tricks? Talks prettier than he sings, accompanying me? More like he was accompanying that vixen."

Secretary Li: "..."

Could this woman be delirious?

Madam Lai and the boss having an affair? Impossible!

Before Secretary Li could even begin to explain, Second Aunt Lai had already disappeared.

Soon after, thunderous roars emanated from the stairwell.

"Li Wanshan, get out here right now!"
