Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him -

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Will You Answer Xu Xingluo’s Call?
Xu Guangyao staggered back a few steps, his body crashing into the desk, causing him to crouch down, clutching his waist in pain.
His face turned deathly pale.
The police wanted to perform a DNA comparison between him and the dead infant.
How could that be?
The child was swapped by Li Daming, she was not his biological daughter at all!
If the police found out the results, wouldn’t they follow the trail and continue to search for the whereabouts of that child?
What if they discovered that Liu Huimin’s biological daughter was still alive?
Xu Guangyao regretted so much his guts were practically green—how could he have not thought of this!
If he had known, he wouldn’t have told Liu Huimin about the whereabouts of the dead baby to agitate her!
Now he was lifting a stone only to drop it on his own feet.
He wanted to slap himself a few times!
How could such a big mistake have been made?
"Xu Guangyao, can you stand up?" an officer urged from the side.
Xu Guangyao nodded and stood up with an ugly expression on his face.
"Officer, have you found Li Daming?" Xu Guangyao, thrown off by the DNA paternity test, was emotionally unbalanced.
He was afraid that evidence would be found against him!
The officer glanced at him coolly and said, "Shouldn’t we be asking you about Li Daming’s whereabouts?"
They suspected him of murdering to silence someone!
But no evidence had yet been found.
"Xu Guangyao, you’d better come clean soon for a chance at leniency. With your uncooperative attitude like this, once the evidence is conclusive, it won’t have anything to do with you anymore."
Xu Guangyao swallowed, feeling his mouth dry and his tongue parched.
His back was soaked through.
All with cold sweat.
He was gambling that the police wouldn’t find Li Daming.
The officer, as if seeing through his thoughts, and not knowing whether he was bluffing or truly confident, said to Xu Guangyao, "You don’t think we can’t find Li Daming, do you?"
Xu Guangyao’s hands clenched tightly.
He panicked.
On the same day, deep in the rainforest on the Southwest border.
A middle-aged man in tattered clothes was fleeing, his face scratched by leaves and vines, with a conspicuous scar on his forehead.
"Li Daming, stop!"
Behind him, Xu Guangyao’s lackey Lao Mao pursued nimbly and efficiently.
Lao Mao was extremely annoyed; Li Daming was about to be put on a boat, yet he had managed to flee.
"Li Daming!"
Panting heavily, Li Daming was running for his life!
His beard was a mess.
He had already revealed that the child was at Qiao Family Village, yet Xu Guangyao was still so ruthless!
Fearing to be sent abroad and killed!
He wanted to report the crime!
Rather than die, he would prefer to go to prison!
He had to find the nearest police station and reveal everything Xu Guangyao had plotted!
"Li Daming, stop right there! Don’t you think I won’t kill you!" Lao Mao never thought he had the courage to run.
He had to deliver Li Daming, or he couldn’t answer for it.
Starved for several days, Li Daming used all his strength to run.
Only a fool wouldn’t run!
Being sent abroad meant only one thing—a dead end!
The forest was dense, and after several rains, it had become even slicker. He misstepped and tumbled down a steep cliff.
"Ah..."
The scream echoed through the woods.
Li Daming whirled and rolled swiftly down the tall cliff.
By the time Lao Mao arrived, he could only watch helplessly as he rolled down.
Thinking what bad luck!
Such a fall from that height would surely be fatal.
He took a couple of tentative steps and nearly slid down himself.
This place was incredibly dangerous!
In the deep mountains and old forests, who knows what fierce birds and wild beasts are there.
Falling from such a high mountain, you wouldn’t survive, would you?
After pondering for a while, Old Mao finally decided to return to Haicheng to report back.
He planned to inform Xu Guangyao that Li Daming was already dead.
...
The next day.
Xu Family.
In the living room.
The maid carefully served three cups of tea.
Liu Huimin had lost a lot of weight in just a few days.
Originally graceful and plump, she now found her skirt somewhat ill-fitting.
Her eyes swollen and red, she spoke in a hoarse voice, "Mom, second brother."
Old Mrs. Liu’s hair was flecked with white and retied into a bun. With a cane by her side, she wore a stern expression, "Huimin, I heard you went to the hospital yesterday? What did you go there for?"
"Nothing."
Liu Huimin’s gaze flickered evasively.
Liu Zongyun observed coldly from his wheelchair.
His sister was not only lovesick but foolish.
Dryly, Liu Huimin said, "Mom, second brother. Please have some tea."
Old Mrs. Liu elegantly sipped from her teacup, "I don’t drink green tea, have you forgotten?"
"I’ll ask the maid to change it for you," Liu Huimin quickly called for the maid to replace the tea with aged Pu’erh, "Things have been chaotic at home, they’ve been negligent."
The newly replaced tea remained untouched by Old Mrs. Liu.
The atmosphere in the living room was stiff.
The old lady asked again, "Where have Xiuyuan and Yunye gone?"
"Xiuyuan is working at the hospital. He heard that someone on second brother’s expert team had been bribed and has already identified and sent that expert to the police station," explained Liu Huimin.
This was yet another piece of evidence accusing Xu Guangyao.
"Yunye has been in a bad mood lately, he might have gone racing."
Liu Huimin had always struggled to treat her children equally.
Liu Zongyun snorted disdainfully, "If you don’t like Yunye, just adopt him out to me. I don’t have children and have no plans to marry in this lifetime."
"Second brother, how can you say that?" Liu Huimin said anxiously, "How could I not love my own child? Yunye is also born of me, it’s just that..."
She had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, favoring the girl more.
Under Xu Guangyao’s prolonged influence, she also felt that Yunye was immature.
"I think you’re too selfish, only caring about your own happiness and sorrow. You’ve never considered the feelings of your children."
"I..."
The sound of a pleasant ringtone interrupted the siblings’ dispute.
The mobile phone screen lit up on the coffee table, flashing the caller’s ID.
It was Liu Huimin’s phone.
The screen displayed "Xingluo baby" calling.
Still a baby?
Liu Zongyun turned away, chuckling twice.
Old Mrs. Liu looked at her and said, "Are you going to answer this call or not?"
Liu Huimin picked up her phone, her lips tightly pressed together as she stared at the screen.
The phone continued to ring for fifty-nine seconds.
It hung up automatically.
But quickly, Xu Xingluo called back, seeming very urgent.
In the past, she would have answered Xingluo’s calls immediately, never making her anxious. She was known to many as a good mother, spoiling Xu Xingluo to the heavens.
Tears slid down Liu Huimin’s cheeks.
Old Mrs. Liu shook her head, expressing disappointment, "How did I give birth to a daughter like you? I successfully raised Zongquan and Zong Yun. I treated you no differently, teaching you from a young age about propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, and faith."
"Liu Huimin, I coddled you for more than twenty years, and Xu Guangyao destroyed you in the same span of time."
"You are a pampered noble lady from a prestigious Haicheng family. You should have the pride to stand tall among others, the courage of an independent woman, the ability to discern right from wrong, and the decisiveness to break ties when necessary."
Her aged voice seemed to pierce through Liu Huimin’s eardrums.
The words were resonating and enlightening!
Her eyes brimming with tears, she stared blankly at Old Mrs. Liu’s wise eyes.
Liu Huimin hastily wiped away her tears, hung up the phone, and blocked Xu Xingluo.
She walked in front of the two and knelt down with a thud, "Mother, second brother, I’m sorry!"
