Chapter 98: Chapter 95 The Scent of Conspiracy

Li Si thought back to the bitterness of her previous life, being 28 years old and still utterly ignored. She secretly resolved that she would absolutely marry before turning 25, then have a baby afterward. How exciting! She could buy all sorts of food, toys, and goodies for her baby!

Leng Mochen watched her cheerful smile with an icy gaze, feeling annoyed. "You little girl, how old are you anyway? Thinking so far ahead—have you even thought through the problem at hand?"

"What problem?" Li Si asked curiously.

"Done crying? So, what are you planning to eat later?"

Li Si instantly snapped out of her previous train of thought. Her foodie nature took over. "Let’s go eat grilled fish, okay?"

"Alright!"

"Hey, Bro, look quickly—that guy in black across the street, isn’t that Deng Hui?" Li Si suddenly pointed at him in surprise and exclaimed.

Deng Hui had just walked to the entrance of the neighborhood, intending to hail a cab, and Li Si spotted him immediately.

Leng Mochen raised his eyes to glance across the street. Although the distance was a bit far, he could still make out the person’s appearance—a full black outfit, hair neatly parted, gold-rimmed glasses, exuding the typical aura of a white-collar worker! Just then, a car pulled up, and Deng Hui waved for it to stop, got in, and left.

Leng Mochen ran her words through his mind, then furrowed his brow. "Little girl, there’s something fishy going on!"

He seemed to catch a hint of conspiracy. Since when did Beijing’s charity foundation start this kind of operation? Buying bone marrow door to door?

"I feel the same way, Bro. Look at that guy—he calls himself Deng Hui, but he doesn’t look like a benevolent person at all! What do you think? Could he be a scammer?"

The more Li Si thought about it, the more she felt it made sense. Who goes door to door persuading people to donate bone marrow? Especially since there’s no confirmed match! How could he know so much just from her donating blood one time?

"Alright, I’ll get someone to investigate. You need to be careful these days. Even if relatives from your grandma’s side try to contact you, don’t meet them!"

"Alright, I got it!" Li Si, influenced by his serious tone, nodded solemnly.

Leng Mochen took out his phone and found Long Wu’s number, dialing it.

"Oh wow, Leng Er! How did such a busy man like you think of calling me today?" Long Wu teased him on the other end.

Leng Mochen’s lips curved slightly. "Quit the nonsense. There’s something I need you to look into!"

"Sure! Am I your subordinate now? Ordering me around, huh? Fine, I won’t fuss over it—after all, you did help me earn a big pile of RMB! Tell me, what am I investigating?" Long Wu seemed to be in a good mood.

"Look into Beijing’s charity foundation. See if there’s a guy named Deng Hui who’s come to North City looking for bone marrow donors!"

Long Wu noticeably paused for a moment, then said, "Does this even need investigation? When do those people ever actively approach someone’s door? Who’s encountered this situation? Oh, I get it—is it our Sisi?"

"Yes. Regardless of the reason, check it out." Leng Mochen’s face was grim and his gaze sharp as he stared forward. What could their motive be? Truly perplexing!

"Got it! Leng Er, when are you coming back to Beijing? Your grandmother has mentioned you at several banquets, every time telling me how much she misses you and thinks about you. Spare some time to visit her, huh? Let the past be in the past—after all, she’s getting on in years!"

Long Wu tried to persuade him, thinking it was because of unresolved grudges between him and his mother that he had stayed away from Beijing for so long.

"Got it. Call me when you have news." With that, he hung up the phone.

Leng Mochen felt a bit helpless. When he was still Lu Zhenghang, his mother had passed away early, and he had never experienced what maternal love was like. He remembered being five years old when his father remarried. Later, he went abroad for school and only returned home when his father became critically ill, unexpectedly dying ahead of his father.

When he woke up in the hospital and returned to the Leng Family’s old residence, he truly couldn’t adapt to that kind of life. That’s why he requested to live alone. Maybe he was used to being lonely—he couldn’t handle living in a communal environment anymore.

As for Mrs. Leng, his feelings were tangled. After all, Leng Mochen’s soul was already dead. Now it was him living in his stead. So how much did those past grudges and familial disputes truly have to do with him?

Seeing Leng Mochen’s expression shift, Li Si assumed something was going on and asked curiously, "What did he say?"

"Long Wu will investigate, but for now, you need to be careful. Not knowing who they are or their motives, you should move out of your dorm and stay at my place for a while."

Leng Mochen had thought things through. If there truly was some conspiracy, the little girl wouldn’t be safe in her school dormitory. If the attackers bribed someone she knew, it would be hard to guard against.

Li Si nodded helplessly—there wasn’t much else she could do for now. Especially since the dorm’s atmosphere had been unpleasant lately, she had really had enough!

On the last day of the National Day holiday, the sun was shining brightly, the sky a vibrant blue dotted with a few drifting clouds. Taking advantage of the mild sunlight, Li Si wore a loose white floral dress and leisurely sat on a swing.

The swing rose high, stirring a gentle breeze that scattered her waist-length hair. She gazed at the artificial mountain and fountain in the distance, the pavilion and fish pond nearby—a sense of peaceful serenity washed over her.

However, this tranquility was abruptly interrupted by the continuous ringing of her phone. Li Si picked it up—it was the same number that had been incessantly calling her these past few days. Whatever, she decided to answer it.

The caller introduced himself—it was indeed Deng Hui. By now, she wasn’t even surprised he had her number.

"Li Si, my apologies for earlier. Would it be convenient to meet? There are still some things I’d like to discuss with you."

Li Si turned her gaze and rejected him outright. "I don’t think that’s necessary, Mr. Deng. I’ve made my refusal very clear—I hope you understand, okay?"

Leng Mochen was at the company now, so the villa only had her and Sister Tao inside. As for the suggestion to meet before understanding the truth, there was absolutely no way she would agree!

The voice on the other end paused for a few seconds, and just as Li Si was about to hang up, his agitated words spilled over.

"Li Si, that child in need of a bone marrow transplant is truly pitiful! How can you be so cold-hearted? Clearly, if you just offered a little love, you could save a life! Yet you’re refusing to help—does this not violate basic morals?"

"I think I’ve explained it clearly enough—donating is all about willingness, isn’t it? Mr. Deng, please don’t call me again!"

If she weren’t temporarily avoiding raising suspicions, she truly wanted to question the man: How dare he put on such self-righteous airs?

"Or perhaps you think the offered 300,000 RMB is insufficient? We can still negotiate! Tell us your terms, and we’ll do our best to meet them!"

"I don’t have any demands, other than for you to stop calling, OK?"

After hanging up, Li Si still felt the entire matter was downright bizarre! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian.com to vote for recommendation tickets or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
