She did not know where Lu Cong had put that pendant.
Had he lost it, or was he keeping it somewhere safe?
Murong Qian kept noticing the room furnishings as she moved around, searching for likely places where the pendant could be stashed.
Lu Cong was oblivious to her thoughts, seeing her apparent interest in his mansion, he couldn’t help but jokingly say, “If you like it, you can live here forever.”
Murong Qian rejected the offer without hesitation, “No thanks, I’m leaving tomorrow morning.”
She then tried to probe, “Do you have any other place to live besides here?”
“I usually live here. If I work too late, I’ll stay over at the hospital,” he responded.
“What about the Lu family, don’t you go back?”
His smile suddenly froze when it came to the Lu family.
Murong Qian stared at him, a glitter in her eyes. It seems his relationship with his family was not good.
But considering his aversion to his family, it was unlikely that he would keep her pendant in the Lu family’s house. It was most likely hidden in this mansion and she must sieze any opportunity to search for it.
After leaving the civil affairs office, Mo Shiting directly drove to find Li Jinyao, intending to force him to spill the secrets about the Black Blood League.
“What’s the rush? That’s not like you.”
Li Jinyao sat on the sofa, elegantly crossing his legs and leisurely sipping from a glass of red wine.
In contrast, Mo Shiting appeared strained and gloomy.
“Speak,” Mo Shiting demanded, sitting across from him on a single-seater sofa, impatiently adjusting his tie as if he was ready to beat him up if he didn’t speak.
“You’ll officially take over as GT’s president tomorrow. If you agree, sign this contract,” Li Jinyao said nonchalantly, pointing towards the document placed on the coffee table.
He had anticipated Mo Shiting’s hasty arrival and had prepared the contract early in the morning.
“Scheming against your own brother, you’re ruthless.”
“Pot calling the kettle black. Just sign it.”
Li Jinyao smirked, his eyes gleaming triumphantly as he saw Mo Shiting reluctantly signing his name.
Unable to hide his amusement at the sight, Li Jinyao teased, “Never thought I’d see the day you’d be cornered.”
Mo Shiting shot him a stern look, “Keep it a secret!”
If Lu Cong and Song Yunque ever learned about how easily he could be threatened, he would be finished.
Delighted to see Mo Shiting in a predicament for a change, Li Jinyao cheerfully promised, “Don’t worry, I can keep a secret.”
He gathered the contract, cleared his throat, and finally told him, “The old Black Blood League would kill even the close relatives of their targets, but this rule was changed when S took over. So you don’t have to worry about Gu Li, they won’t kill her.”
Mo Shiting’s deep eyes narrowed, a flicker of suspicion in his gaze, “Is this true?”
“My intel as the Hawk has never been wrong,” Li Jinyao stated confidently.
Mo Shiting leaned back in his seat, deep in thought.
Seeing this, Li Jinyao couldn’t help but tease him, “What, regretting sending your wife away?”
Mo Shiting frowned, instead of answering directly, he responded thoughtfully, “The priority now is to find out who’s masterminding this.”
Li Jinyao concurred, “True. Whoever offered billions of dollars for your life must have suffered losses much greater than that. Any suspects yet?”
Mo Shiting shook his head, “None.”
There were too many enemies, all powerful and influential. It was hard to investigate.
“I’ll help you look into it. Take care of yourself in the meantime,” Li Jinyao advised.
“Thanks,” Mo Shiting replied before abruptly standing up.
Seeing him about to leave, Li Jinyao reminded him, “Remember to report to GT tomorrow.”
Mo Shiting:
No doubt, this was his actual brother.
Upon leaving Li Jinyao’s house, Mo Shiting hesitated for a moment and eventually decided to go see Gu Li..
