Chapter 269: New Speculation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The plans for today had all changed.

Wu Mei’s initial plan was to first bring Mother Wu to the Wu Corporation and then investigate the relevant personnel in the company.

Now, because of Bi Fang’s words, they had a new direction.

When Mother Wu heard their decision, her eyes were filled with disappointment even though she knew that she would not be able to change anything even if she went to the Wu Corporation.

However, when she saw Li Nanchen instruct his assistant, Qin Yang, to investigate the relevant locations and saw that Wu Mei had also gotten in touch with some powerful figures, Mother Wu finally chose to remain silent.

If she could not help, she should not be a burden to the children.

Bi Fang noticed the change in Mother Wu’s expression. Not wanting her to have any awry thoughts, he suggested, “Auntie, shall I accompany you to the Wu Corporation?”

Mother Wu immediately rejected him and scolded Bi Fang with a stern face, “That won’t do. There are bad people in the Corporation. It’s too dangerous.”

Bad people?

Bi Fang leaned over and said softly, “Auntie, if there’s danger, I’ll escape with you.”

Mother Wu looked at Bi Fang and felt that this child was a little silly.

She smiled and patted his hand. “Silly child, let’s stay home and rest today.”

Bi Fang felt uncomfortable under Mother Wu’s gaze. He felt that he had been misunderstood and that something was amiss.

Then, he changed the subject, realizing that Mother Wu’s attitude towards Wu Pang had changed completely since she found out about his illegal dealings.

Not only did Mother Wu not help Wu Pang, but she also wanted Wu Mei to do a thorough investigation and hand him over to the authorities.

If she had known earlier, Wu Mei would have shown all the evidence to Mother Wu. This would have saved her a lot of time.

Li Nanchen’s phone rang.

It was Qin Yang who had replied with the information he wanted.

He hung up the phone and glanced at Mother Wu and Bi Fang chatting in the living room before looking away.

He finally found an important clue that they had overlooked and that was…?Where was the location of the drug deal?

K could find out that Wu Pang played an important role in these transactions, but never told them the location of the transactions.

Why was that?

This is probably not just because of a lack of trust.

What if K took this opportunity and hid this important clue so as to plot against Wu Mei in order to deal with Ben?

Li Nanchen’s gaze was cold. No one could tell what he was planning.

Bi Fang cleared his throat and interrupted Li Nanchen’s thoughts. He kindly reminded Li Nanchen, “Aren’t you guys going to the study room to work?”

Li Nanchen glanced at him coldly and frowned unhappily, but he noticed Mother Wu’s uneasiness.

Mother Wu sat in the living room while the servants walked around. It was inappropriate for the others to hear their conversation.

Wu Mei also came back to her senses. She tried her best to calm Mother Wu down and said, “Mom, I’m going to the study room. I’ll let you know if there’s any news.”

“Go ahead. Don’t tire yourself.” Mother Wu looked at Wu Mei as her heart ached.

She was afraid of giving her daughter too much pressure, so she did not continue.

Li Nanchen agreed with Wu Mei and said, “Auntie, we’ll tell you after we’ve settled things.”

Mother Wu nodded in relief and told them to go and do what they needed.

Li Nanchen and Wu Mei went upstairs together. He told Wu Mei everything he had heard from Qin Yang and his speculation.

Wu Mei looked at her phone. There was no news from K.

“The location of the transaction is set at the Wu Corporation. The person who ordered Wu Pang to do this is very smart. He wants to pull all of us into the trap.” Wu Mei sneered. She did not think that this person was interested in Wu Pang’s ability to do things. This person was more interested in the strength of the Wu and Li Corporations.

“If Wu Pang had been caught, he would have threatened my mom. Mom might have found me because she wanted to cover it up.”

If she compromised, Li Nanchen would also help.

If word got out, they would all die in the same boat.

Li Nanchen sat beside her and hugged her with one hand. He said softly, “Don’t be angry. We already know their motive.”

“Their motive,” Wu Mei repeated.

She thought about K’s sincere expression in front of her and felt disgusted.

“Nanchen, I don’t believe that K didn’t find out the location of their transaction. But he hid this from me,” her tone was cold as she clenched her fists and said with hatred.

She had wanted to work with K to deal with Wu Pang’s matter. It turned out that this was a chain of events, and she was the one being plotted against.

Wu Mei seemed calm enough. In actuality, she was trembling with anger as she considered her next step.

Her mind was in a mess and she could not think of a better idea. She could only look at Li Nanchen and said, “What ideas do you have?”

Li Nanchen had been waiting for Wu Mei to say this. “I think that…”

As Wu Mei listened to Li Nanchen’s arrangements, her brows gradually eased up and her entire body relaxed.

After Li Nanchen finished speaking, he pinched her chin. “Do I get a reward?”

Wu Mei hugged Li Nanchen’s neck and used her soft lips to kiss his thin lips. “I won’t treat you badly.”

How could Li Nanchen let go of such an opportunity? He pushed Wu Mei down. Just then, her phone rang, dampening their spirits.

It was K.. He finally called back.
