Now that Long Wu is here, he’s certainly in for a treat!
With a happy and excited mood, Long Wu joined Su Meng and her mother for dinner before cheerfully heading home.
Meanwhile, as soon as Li Si walked through the door, she noticed no one was in the living room. After changing her shoes, she headed straight to the study. She found Leng Mochen sitting behind the desk, as though deep in thought.
"You’re back! What’s going on exactly?" Long Wu had called earlier, saying the two of them were at Heizi’s place. Apparently, Su Meng had a peculiar reaction when they ran into Qian Rouxuan at the mall.
"Don’t even bring it up. Right after you sent me that message, Qian Rouxuan and Yin Qi showed up acting like besties in front of me. Tell me that’s not bizarre!"
She then recounted the entire incident to Leng Mochen in detail. After finishing, even she deeply doubted that Qian Rouxuan was uninvolved in Su Meng’s disappearance all those years ago. It seemed almost impossible.
She hoped Brother Heizi’s team could quickly uncover something useful. Discover more novels at n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Leng Mochen listened silently, without making any remarks, and handed her a file from the desk.
Li Si instinctively took it and curiously asked, "What’s this?"
"A paternity report for Leng Mohao and that child."
As she glanced at the paternity test report, even though she had suspected something before, seeing tangible evidence in front of her left her utterly shocked, and a surge of intense anger rose within her.
The report confirmed that Leng Mohao was biologically related to John!
"Leng Mohao is downright despicable!" She cursed. "This is clearly his child, yet he shamelessly framed Leng Mochen for it. This is like putting a green hat on someone’s head and forcing them to raise the child as their own!"
Luckily, Leng Mochen had already changed inside—it would have been infuriating and humiliating otherwise. Who knows, he might’ve ended up being harmed one day without even understanding how it happened.
"But how did you get this?" She didn’t believe Mohao would yield so easily.
He smirked mysteriously. "A clever man has his ways!"
"Tch! Fine, don’t tell me then!" Li Si was so annoyed by his smug demeanor that her teeth itched in irritation.
He cleared his throat and said, "Actually, it’s nothing too complicated. It coincided with the Leng Group’s routine health checks. I had my people inside obtain a sample of his blood after some effort."
Li Si stared at him wide-eyed. "Was he that careless? Doesn’t he realize this is a critical period?" She was puzzled. Based on her understanding of Leng Mohao, he wouldn’t usually be this lax.
Suddenly, Leng Mochen wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Maybe he thought I had no reason to suspect him! He probably believes he’s in complete control, but little does he know who will have the last laugh!"
Li Si quickly understood. With the evidence they now had in their hands, they could utterly disgrace Leng Mohao. Furthermore, if Qian Rouxuan’s scandals were exposed, it would serve as another heavy blow to him.
Thinking about how someone who had believed they held everything in their grasp had been betrayed and was sleeping with another man, Li Si couldn’t help but feel phantom toothaches on his behalf.
She traced her fingers along his strong arms. "He went to all this trouble, taking such a convoluted route—could his real goal simply be taking over the Leng Group?"
"Not entirely! When he married into the Liu Family, I knew his ambitions stretched beyond that!"
Li Si couldn’t help but turn to him. "What else could he want? Isn’t the Leng Group enough?"
Leng Mochen gently tapped her nose affectionately. "I think he wants to seize everything that’s in my hands!"
What he didn’t say was that right now, Leng Mohao undoubtedly had people planted within Mo Si’s operations. However, they hadn’t revealed themselves yet, so he was holding back, keeping things as they were—including Secretary Du. The moment there was any movement, he intended to uproot them all at once.
"He truly doesn’t fear biting off more than he can chew!" Li Si pouted disdainfully. Human greed was indeed insatiable. If Leng Mohao’s only aim was the Leng Group, she believed Leng Mochen might not even contest it.
But everything under Mo Si’s umbrella was built step by step by themselves—it was impossible to hand it over so casually.
"So what should we do now?" If they hadn’t investigated thoroughly before, that was one thing. Now, knowing it was all Leng Mohao’s schemes, could they still sit idly by?
Letting Leng Mohao stand far away, watching them burn while enjoying the show?
"By the end of this month, it’s Mr. Leng Sr.’s eightieth birthday celebration. Prior to the banquet, he will certainly make a move. Qian Rouxuan won’t pass up this chance to make herself known to everyone. When the time comes, we’ll let them taste what it means to lift a rock only to crush one’s own foot!"
Leng Mochen gazed coldly out the window. The show was about to begin. As for Yin Qi, she was due for a grand "gift" as well!
