3052 Invite Her to Have a Meal
“Given what I know right now, a man named Jin Dawu set a bomb in Lu Changwei’s car. Jin Dawu used to be a criminal, but he escaped from jail half a month ago. He might have targeted Lu Changwei for several reasons: first, there are grudges between them; second, someone in City Chang wants Lu Changwei dead; third, it was an order from an important family in the capital. I think the third reason is most likely to be the truth,” Li Mochen said. He was very honest with Mu Yiyang.
“I agree. Even if someone in City Chang wants him dead, it must have something to do with an important family in the capital,” Mu Yiyang said. As the third son of the Mu family, he had heard some news, so he wasn’t very surprised.
However, he was very angry that one of his people was targeted.
“Can you help me catch Jin Dawu?” Mu Yiyang asked. The Mu family was influential in City Chang, but it would be more efficient if Li Mochen could help him.
“No problem.” Li Mochen agreed. Mu Yiyang was his friend, so he was more than happy to help him.
“Thanks, bro.” Mu Yiyang thanked Li Mochen. Although they were too close to be so polite, Mu Yiyang felt it was necessary for him to thank Li Mochen.
…
Leng Xiaoyao investigated Jin Dawu till about 2 am, before she finally got what she wanted to know.
There was indeed someone else behind Jin Dawu!
The mastermind who ordered Jin Dawu to kill Lu Changwei was the deputy warden of the prison in City Chang. The deputy warden had support from the Jiang family in the capital.
The Jiang family was the most powerful family in the capital, the leading family in control of a faction.
Therefore, the Jiang family and the Mu family were enemies.
Because Leng Xiaoyao guessed it might be a scheme planned by a powerful family, she wasn’t surprised when she found out the truth.
At the same time, Leng Xiaoyao collected information about the Jiang family and other important families in the capital.
After the result was out, Leng Xiaoyao directly called Li Mochen. She didn’t care that it was late and Li Mochen might be woken up by her. After all, it was a very important case and they couldn’t delay it, otherwise she wouldn’t have investigated it till so late at night.
Although Li Mochen had already gone to bed, he opened his eyes the moment Leng Xiaoyao called. Without hesitation, he picked it up, guessing that she must have found out the information.
Thinking of that, he felt slightly guilty. It was so late now, but Leng Xiaoyao was still up and investigating.
“Hi, Miss Leng,” Li Mochen greeted.
“Mr. Li, I have the result. Give me your email address. I’ll send it to you,” Leng Xiaoyao said. Because there were some files, it was hard to be clear on the phone.
“Thank you, Miss Leng, for doing the investigation so late into the night. I’ll send a message to you.” Li Mochen thanked Leng Xiaoyao sincerely.
“Great.” Leng Xiaoyao answered. When she was about to hang up, Li Mochen said, “Miss Leng, you’ve done a lot to help us. Can I buy you a meal when you have time?”
“Sure, I have time tomorrow afternoon.” Leng Xiaoyao accepted his invitation. After all, she needed chances to get close to Li Mochen.
“Great, Miss Leng, what’s your favorite food?” Li Mochen asked.
“I love seafood,” Leng Xiaoyao said. She had no intention of saving money for him.
Gu Ning loved seafood and so did Leng Xiaoyao.
“No problem.” Li Mochen replied.
After they hung up, Li Mochen immediately sent Leng Xiaoyao his email address.
Once Leng Xiaoyao received Li Mochen’s email address, she sent him the evidence she found.
When Li Mochen read the evidence, he wasn’t surprised. Instead, he was quite calm.
Afterwards, Li Mochen called Mu Yiyang and told him what they had found.
Because it wasn’t Li Mochen who found it, he didn’t steal the credit and said that it was found by his friend. In order to protect Leng Xiaoyao, he didn’t mention her name. He only needed Mu Yiyang to know that he wasn’t the person who collected the evidence.
Mu Yiyang told Li Mochen to pass his thanks to the friend.
The next day, the news about Leng Xiaoyao’s brave actions went abroad in her school and went viral on the Internet.
Xiong Manxin and the others heard about it the next morning and were all amazed by Leng Xiaoyao. In their eyes, she was a hero now!
At their class, their head teacher also complimented Leng Xiaoyao, but also reminded her to be careful in the future. It was a good thing if she was helpful, but she had to take care of herself first and stay away from danger.
Leng Yuqi understood that the news would go abroad and that Leng Xiaoyao would get everyone’s compliment, but she was still unhappy when Leng Xiaoyao got so much praise.
She hated that Leng Xiaoyao, who used to be hateful, became an idol all of a sudden.
She didn’t want Leng Xiaoyao to be so outstanding and impressive. She wanted Leng Xiaoyao to always be worse than her.
“Yuqi, you were so close to the car that exploded yesterday. Are you alright?” Chu Jiayu asked with concern.
“I’m fine,” Leng Yuqi said.
“I can’t believe Leng Xiaoyao is so brave. She ran into the fire to rescue people. She even removed the car doors with her bare hands.” Jiang Yihan exclaimed. She was really shocked and deliberately said that to Leng Yuqi. She wanted to see Leng Yuqi in a bad mood.
After that, Jiang Yihan asked with concern, “I wonder if Jianan knows. Did he call you?”
When Jiang Yihan complimented Leng Xiaoyao, Leng Yuqi was very displeased, then when she mentioned Chu Jianan, Leng Yuqi became even unhappier, because Chu Jianan hadn’t called her yet.
However, at the same time, she hoped Chu Jianan didn’t know about it, because he would be amazed by Leng Xiaoyao after finding out about Leng Xiaoyao’s brave actions.
As a result, Leng Yuqi had mixed emotions.
“Not yet. I’m sure he doesn’t know about it,” Leng Yuqi said.
“If my brother knew, he would call Yuqi right away. After all, my brother cares about Yuqi so much. Actually, I also just heard the news not long ago,” Chu Jiayu said.
