Chapter 386: Chapter 379: Extraction

"Old man, look at your son! He really doesn’t have you in his eyes at all!" Luna said coquettishly.

"Shut your mouth!" Leng Liewei, no longer his usual gentle self, glared sharply at Luna.

"What’s wrong with you..." This was the first time Leng Liewei showed such an attitude towards her.

"You brainless fool, if you want to set someone up, at least do it without letting them catch you!"

"I..." Luna was unwilling, wanting to retort but found she had no reason to; she truly underestimated Bai Yiran.

"Useless thing!" Leng Liewei, carrying an air of coldness, went upstairs.

Luna glanced at Sister Liu, who was busy inside and out, pursed her lips, and followed Leng Liewei upstairs. She could see that Leng Liewei was really angry this time; perhaps he had never encountered such a humiliating situation in his life. Luna knew that if it weren’t for Leng Liewei’s efforts to suppress it today, Bai Yiran wouldn’t have let it go, and she would have been exposed in front of everyone by then.

By then, the topic of a new stepmother bullying her daughter-in-law would spread, wouldn’t it?

It’s a pity that today’s opportunity to ruin Bai Yiran wasn’t well used...

In the middle of the night, when Wu Chengzu returned home, Wu Jingjing was already asleep, though she had fallen asleep on the sofa. Looking at his daughter curled up on the sofa, Wu Chengzu felt as if the softest part of his heart had been touched.

He bent down to pick up the child and carried her to the bed in his room, covering her with the quilt. Just as he was about to leave, Wu Jingjing’s small hand grabbed onto him.

"Awake?" Wu Chengzu asked.

"Dad, did you see Sister Yi Ran?"

Wu Chengzu thought of Bai Yiran’s pale and painful appearance and nodded, "I did."

"Then did you tell her? Ask her to come for my birthday?"

"She was very busy tonight, I didn’t have a chance to talk to her." Wu Chengzu hid the news of Bai Yiran’s illness from Wu Jingjing, otherwise, this child probably wouldn’t sleep well.

"Oh..." Wu Jingjing felt a wave of disappointment and covered her head with the quilt, "I’m going to sleep now."

Wu Chengzu looked deeply at Wu Jingjing, "Do you like Bai Yiran that much?"

"Yes." Wu Jingjing nodded under the quilt, "She has mom’s scent..."

Wu Chengzu’s heart was pierced by Wu Jingjing’s words; he had almost forgotten the appearance of his deceased wife, vaguely remembering her outline—beautiful, very beautiful.

After leaving Wu Jingjing’s room, Wu Chengzu received a call from Chen Bei.

"Boss, Ma Li finally talked. Recently, the person she’s been in close contact with is a boy toy she kept at Liu Fei’s place, called Bai Chuan! I investigated this Bai Chuan, and besides constantly having dealings with Ma Li, not long ago, he met with Leng Yichen alone in Liu Fei’s VVIP room."

"Leng Yichen, is it?" Wu Chengzu narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"Yes, the two stayed in there for a while, and then Leng Yichen left first, Bai Chuan came out much later. Also, while investigating Bai Chuan, I discovered something strange."

"What is it?"

"It’s that Liu Fei has recently gotten involved in quite a few lawsuits, and the mastermind behind it is reportedly Leng Yichen. And Bai Chuan has disappeared now, like he vanished from the world."

Wu Chengzu walked to the balcony, gazing at the pitch-black sky, with furrowed brows.

"Boss, do you think the reason our transaction today was watched by the police could be Leng Yichen’s doing? That Bai Chuan is very likely the spy sent by Leng Yichen to seduce Ma Li and obtain information."
