The Mo Corporation building appeared towering, stern, and cold. However, it was especially lively in the special break room meant for the bodyguards on the first floor.
Several passersby peeked in and asked about the situation. After a while, the men decided to just keep Feng Ling firmly behind them.
What a joke; the great Boss Li had instructed that no one could bully her. Who was it that dared to take a second glance at her?
“In the past, we’ve never met any women in our base. Right now, the only junior sister we have has been arranged to be in Hai City. I wonder if having a girl with us will increase our love luck. After being single for so long, I feel somewhat wronged ah…”
“That’s right. Little Junior Sister, you follow Mrs. Mo’s side everyday. Have you met any suitable young ladies to introduce to us?”
Feng Ling: “…”
They laughed along happily when, all of a sudden, someone gave them a look from outside. All of the men glanced out and immediately kept away their smiles. Their expressions immediately turned stern.
Feng Ling was startled. She turned to see Mo Jingshen’s figure passing by. He had glanced over at the sound of laughter from the room.
She had interacted with Mr. Mo a little in the past few days, but this was her first time seeing him face-to-face in his company. The Mr. Mo she usually saw was a wife-spoiling maniac but, in the office, he had become an impartial, cold-hearted, and cool-blooded Boss. Still, no matter where he was or which angle she saw him from, he was definitely an outstandingly handsome man.
In Feng Ling’s eyes, Mr. Mo was someone who never expressed anything externally. He was always in-control and was an extremely well-principled man. His movements never gave him away, but in his hands, everything could easily change in a blink of an eye. No one had the ability to go against his force.
And this dangerous man who appeared mild-mannered actually spoiled his wife to the point where one could not help but be surprised
In the short period of time she had been in Hai City, whenever she met Doctor Qin, he would tease her. “Are you suffering a heartburn after consuming all of the Mo couple’s dog food?”
Indeed. Feng Ling considered herself to be a relatively peaceful and composed person, but even she was experiencing the heartburn. When she heard Doctor Qin’s words, she understood that he had also been harmed significantly by their affections.
Mo Jingshen glanced at Feng Ling and turned to instruct Shen Mu with a few words. Shen Mu nodded respectfully and turned to leave the building with quick steps.
They couldn’t tell where Shen Mu was headed, but from the looks of it, Mr. Mo didn’t seem to be in a rush to leave.
“Feng Ling.” Mo Jingshen spoke up: “Why aren’t you at Jin Lin Building?”
After being addressed so abruptly, Feng Ling walked out of the room: “Mr. Mo, Mrs. Mo just finished a meeting in the studio. I saw that she was having a nap in the breakroom, so I came out for a walk. There are still a lot of things I haven’t properly reported on when I came here two weeks ago, so I came over to do so.”
“Nap?” Mo Jingshen’s gaze was kind and indifferent. “It seems to be calm in the studio today. No one came to stir up trouble?”
“No. The previous incident caused by CEO Jin has already been resolved. They don’t have the guts to come create anymore trouble. Mrs. Mo is also very intelligent. Right now, she’s very careful with selecting investors and customers. Aside from the initial risks you previously told me, she won’t draw any trouble to herself. I will continue guarding her. Mr. Mo, please set your mind at ease.”
Mo Jingshen watched her and lifted one corner of his lip mildly. Just as Feng Ling assumed the conversation had ended and he was about to leave, the man suddenly spoke softly so that only she could hear: “It’s Nanheng’s birthday next week. After so many years, it’s rare that we’re able to gather together in Hai City. We plan to look for a place to drink together. You’ll come with Ji Nuan?”
When Feng Ling heard the words ‘Nanheng,’ she did not show any change in her expression. She was silent for two seconds before she answered: “I will send Mrs. Mo there safely.”
She spoke about sending Ji Nuan there and not accompanying Ji Nuan in.
Mo Jingshen watched her for a moment. He did not say more, nor did he reveal anything. He then smiled and left.
When Mo Jingshen finally left, Feng Ling lifted her head to look at the man’s backview. A wave of unhappiness stirred through her heart.
How on earth did Li Nanheng manage to make it such that every single person who appeared around her seemed to know about their relationship?
These groups of men did not touch her and appeared to care a lot for her. She did not need their care but it was clear that, even without her saying anything, the words ‘Li Nanheng’s possession’ was written in big and bright characters above her head.
She had already ran all the way to Hai City. Did this man actually still have the ability to keep everything within his control?
…
America, Los Angeles.
In the old orphanage, the director and several aunties all shared suspicious expressions.
It had been a long time since XI Base last visited their orphanage. Right now, XI Base was no longer a place anyone could enter easily. They also no longer selected potential members from various orphanages. Mr. Li himself had come for a rare visit, and it turns out they were looking for the blood sample of that child named Feng Ling.
As the identity of an orphan was more unique, no matter who they were, so long as they were kept in the orphanage, a small amount of their blood would be drawn and kept. This way, it would be more convenient to look for their parents. It would also be useful in the case of special circumstances.
However, Feng Ling’s blood wasn’t easy to locate. Although they did draw some of it, from the beginning, she had been a special existence in their orphanage. She had been thirteen years old when she came in and was unlike the younger children who were easier to discipline. The orphanage had actually been considering if it was better to let her go. Thus, her blood was not kept with the other children’s and was instead stored separately.
Afterward, they also had a new director. It wasn’t easy to investigate the matters of the past and Feng Ling’s blood was difficult to locate.
After so many years, Mr. Li had personally visited for Feng Ling’s blood.
How were they supposed to find it…
However, from Mr. Li’s appearance, it was clear he wouldn’t allow them to shrug this off easily. He definitely planned on investigating Feng Ling’s stay in the orphanage thoroughly. Although the previous director was no longer here, some of the aunties and teachers Feng Ling had interacted with were still around. After some proper searching, they finally learned that Feng Ling had led a life that was comparable to death in her one year stay in the orphanage.
She had only been a thirteen-to-fourteen year old child, but she needed to be injected with a tranquilizer everyday and was always locked in a small, dark room.
With every bit of new information, Li Nanheng’s gaze turned colder.
