Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Ironclad Evidence
Elder Master Chen returned home and naturally subjected Chen Ningxue to a rigorous family interrogation. However, Chen Ningxue did not directly disclose Ling Fengâs name and instead evaded the topic in a coy manner, reminiscent of a young girl in love. This reduced many of the suspicions in Elder Master Chenâs heart.
"Our backgrounds are quite different, so Iâve always been worried. Thatâs why I didnât tell you!" Chen Ningxue pretended to be innocent as she said, "What if you donât approve of him and suppress him? Thatâs how it always plays out in TV dramas, where great families tear apart a pair of star-crossed lovers for their own interests, ending with both of them tearfully saying goodbye and living miserable lives!"
Elder Master Chen was so angry that he almost disowned her! But no matter how much he pressed, Chen Ningxue refused to give in, and in the end, Chen Biao gave her a final ultimatum. She had to bring her boyfriend home within ten days, or else she should prepare to marry Lin Song!
A victorious Chen Ningxue left cheerfully, while within the Chen Family, Chen Zhendong frowned and said, "Dad, do you think Xiaoxue really has a boyfriend? What if sheâs deceiving us?"
Chen Biao snorted coldly, "She wouldnât dare! Sheâs turning things upside down! If she doesnât bring him to me within ten days for me to see, I... I will..."
After a momentâs thought, Chen Biao realized he had no real threats to make. In a burst of anger, he said, "I will halt her singing career. These days, isnât there some scandal about her secret marriage and child? We donât need to deal with it for now, and we can even use it slightly later on!"
Chen Zhendong gave a wry smile and nodded. Although the old master was blustering now, he was the one who doted on Xiaoxue the most in this household. Those threats would be good if even thirty percent of them could be carried out!
...
In a secluded café, Mo Yu, the top paparazzo of the entertainment circle, dressed in an overcoat and hat, arrived in a private room.
"Young Master Lin!" Mo Yu saw that Lin Song was already seated inside and spoke in a hushed tone, "Young Master Lin, are you satisfied with what you see?"
Lin Song gently sipped his coffee, a faint smile appearing on his lips, "Not bad, the online world is going crazy about Chen Ningxueâs affair. Itâs clear you, Mo Yu, really have a knack for this, worthy of the top paparazzo."
Mo Yu humbly said, "Itâs just some low-grade tactics, nothing impressive, making Young Master Lin laugh!"
Lin Song said, "Alright, youâve done well, and I know it. But itâs not enough. Although the internet is in a frenzy now, itâs not a substantial blow to Chen Ningxue. I still need to escalate things!"
Mo Yu furrowed his brow, "Young Master Lin, I understand what you mean, but my team has already gathered all of Chen Ningxueâs information, including videos and photos from before her debut. Honestly, thereâs not much to work with, and I lack any evidence with real impact, so..."
Lin Song scoffed. Finding anything incriminating under the Chen Familyâs influence would mean you didnât need to be a paparazzo; you might as well join the detectives!
Of course, Lin Song did not say this, and Mo Yu could not possibly imagine any connection between Chen Ningxue and the influential red family of Huaxia. Otherwise, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldnât dare take on the job!
"I naturally have the evidence!" Lin Song pushed the file bag beside him towards Mo Yu, "With this, I think youâll know what to do, given your skills, right?"
Mo Yu took the file bag and inside were several photos. These photos were obtained by Lin Song from airport surveillance, clearly showing the intimate contact between Chen Ningxue and Ling Feng!
Mo Yuâs hands trembled slightly. For Chen Ningxue, who had been in the industry for eight years with zero scandals, Mo Yu was confident that this time he could knock her off her pedestal!
"Young Master Lin, with these, I guarantee Chen Ningxue wonât be able to recover!" Mo Yu took a deep breath and spoke earnestly.
"Good," Lin Song glanced at his watch, "If thereâs nothing else, you can go. Iâm waiting to see your results!"
Mo Yu gathered the photos and left the private room.
At that moment, the phone beside Lin Song rang, "Hello, who is it? Speak!"
"Little Lin, there are some new goods at the Paradise Club today, wanna come and check it out?" A frivolous voice came through.
Lin Song frowned, "Forget it, I wonât go!"
"Is it just because of the car accident that broke your leg? Or did it break your third leg too?" The voice teased with a slight chuckle, "Donât blame me for not telling you, thereâs a girl inside who looks particularly like Chen Ningxue!"
Lin Songâs eyebrows shot up, "Hmph, you sure know my weakness. Alright, the Paradise Club, is it? Iâm on my way, you better keep a good eye out for me!"
Meanwhile, Mo Yu, who had left, also received a call, "What? How could such a thing happen? Iâll be right there!"
Half an hour later, Mo Yu rushed into the hospital with a panicked expression, "Doctor, how are my wife and child doing? Is there any danger? Are there any sequelae?"
The attending doctor replied, "Donât worry, Mr. Mo, your wife and daughter are out of danger because they were rescued in time. They are just a little weak from soaking in the cold lake water and need to be observed in the hospital for a few days."
"Thank you, doctor, thank you so much!" said Mo Yu gratefully.
"No need to thank me, just thank the young man who rescued them in time!" After saying this, the doctor left.
Mo Yu walked gently into the ward and, looking at his pale-faced daughter and wife lying on the bed, a look of fear flashed across his face!
And the two people on the bed were exactly the young woman and girl that Ling Feng had rescued!
"Bingbing!" Mo Yu sat in the chair next to the bed, his gaze tenderly fixed on the woman lying there.
This woman was Tang Bingbing, Mo Yuâs wife. She had been one of the universityâs beauties, but no one expected that after graduation, she would marry a classic loser like Mo Yu!
She, who could have shone in the presenting world, insisted on retiring and now worked as a music teacher in an elementary school.
"Bingbing, if anything had really happened to you, what would I have done?" Mo Yu loved his wife dearly. Seeing Tang Bingbingâs pale face, he couldnât help but get teary-eyed.
Perhaps it was Mo Yuâs grasp that prompted Tang Bingbing to open her eyes slowly, "Mo Yu, youâre here?"
Her voice revealed a hint of fatigue and weakness.
Mo Yu said softly, "Donât talk, donât get up! You rest well, Iâm sorry! I wasnât by your side when you needed me the most! I was really scared!"
Seeing Mo Yuâs reddened eyes, Tang Bingbing squeezed his hand harder, "Itâs okay, stop crying. We are fine, arenât we? If Niuniu wakes up and sees you crying, it will affect your image of being strong and mighty!"
Mo Yu pressed Tang Bingbingâs hand against his cheek, murmuring to himself, "If I had lost you, for whom would I stay strong? Luckily, heaven has been kind to me, it was just a false alarm!"
Tang Bingbing said, "Right, the person who saved me was a young lad. I got his phone number! His friend had also saved Niuniu once before. I think we ought to show some gratitude!"
Mo Yu spoke with determination, "Of course we should, he saved you, which means he saved me! Once you both are a bit better, our family will go together to express our thanks!"
