"President Li, I am Gu Yue, the editor-in-chief of Beicheng Wenzhen Newspaper. I have just received a piece of writing for a self-media platform. The writer is Zou Wei, a well-known online influencer with millions of followers. The article involves Ms. Zhong Wanwan."

Li Duo slightly lifted his eyelids, his sharp eyes fixed on Zhong Wanwan's direction. He asked, "What do you mean?"

"Did you see the breaking news in Beicheng tonight about a man who forged documents and then tricked a girl into going there, only to attempt to assault her? The article says that Ms. Zhong was the mastermind behind this case!"

Li Duo asked, "What is this person's reputation like?"

"He was a very righteous person when he was young. He was kicked out of the journalism field for reporting a case of collusion between officials and businessmen, and later became a professional writer."

"Take the draft first, and wait for my reply."

"yes!"

Li Duo hung up the phone and looked at Zhong Wanwan: "Wanwan, I'll ask you one more time, have you done anything else you shouldn't have done these past two days?"

Zhong Tingsong and Su Ying looked up at her together, and Zhong Wanwan shook her head firmly, "Uncle, why are you forcing me to admit that it didn't happen!"

She gave those four people a lot of money; they couldn't possibly be talking nonsense, could they?

But Zhong Wanwan was still a little flustered. What if, what if they were going to tell her?

Li Duo wiped his hands. "I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

Zhong Tingsong looked up: "Still working this late?"

Li Duo lifted his foot to leave: "It's nothing."

Zhong Wanwan suddenly spoke up: "By the way, Uncle, there's some good news I haven't told you yet."

Li Duo turned around, "What happy news?"

Zhong Wanwan reached out and touched her lower abdomen, saying sweetly, "I'm pregnant with Yuanchao's child, just four weeks along."

Su Ying stood up with a look of surprise: "Really?"

Li Duo's gaze fell on Zhong Wanwan's lower abdomen, and he said, "That is indeed a happy occasion."

After Li Duo left, Zhong Wanwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The way Li Duo looked at her just now was so intimidating that she almost lost her composure.

To prevent those four people from implicating her, she had to lie so that her uncle would protect her!

Outside the hospital ward, Li Duo stood at the door and saw a young police officer talking.

"...When you made your first call for help, a fire truck happened to be passing by, and you missed the signal." He looked up at Wen Shu's face. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Wen Shu said, lying on the hospital bed with a disfigured face, forcing a very ugly smile. "Anyway, I don't rely on my looks to make a living."

Upon hearing this, Li Duo felt a surge of anger for no apparent reason. The image of him rushing in had provoked him, and she actually had the nerve to joke about it.

What a reckless woman!

"Officer Lin, thank you for picking up Rou Rou for me. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to take care of him tonight." Wen Shu forced a smile. "I'll treat you to dinner another day..."

Officer Lin's face flushed slightly. "Don't say that. You cooperated with us to catch those suspects who harmed the public and deceived the people. We should be thanking you. It's because of our disappointment that you got hurt."

Wen Shu shook her head: "You're the ones who cleared my grandmother's name; I should be thanking you..."

Li Duo, unable to bear it any longer, stepped in and said, "Officer Lin, you've done something great and now you're free? You even have the leisure to chat with the crowd here?"

Officer Lin was immediately a little embarrassed. "I came here on behalf of the team to check on her. It was our mistake today. Also..."

Officer Lin suddenly stood at attention and gave Li Duo a standard military salute. "Mr. Li, thank you for protecting the people today without hesitation."

Li Duo glanced at him; a young man with less than a year of police service, at the prime of his youth, full of youthful vigor.

He nodded. "Of course."

"Wen Shu, take good care of your injury. My colleagues and I will take good care of Rou Rou." Officer Lin glanced at her. "I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Wen Shu nodded: "Thank you, Officer Lin, please take care."

Li Duo strode over to her, looking down at her. "You think it's heroic of you to risk your life and face four men with ill intentions all by yourself?"

Wen Shu, remembering that he had saved her in a moment of crisis, still thanked him politely: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for saving me today."

"Thank you? How do you plan to thank me? Like you did with that police officer, by treating him to a meal?" Li Duo mocked, "Or is it that you always start dealing with men with a meal?"

Wen Shu's expression was somewhat stiff.

She discovered that Li Duo was the most unpredictable and capricious person; one sentence could be decent, the next it would be sarcastic and cynical.

Wen Shu pursed her lips. "Mr. Li, what kind of gratitude do you think is more sincere?"

Li Duo looked at her face, the bruises and marks on it were glaringly obvious, and said, "You're so ugly."

Wen Shu was instantly furious, but she forced herself to speak: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, that you're so ugly!"

"If it weren't for what you did, do you think I would want to come to a place like this?"

Wen Shu looked up and asked, "What did I do that warrants Mr. Li coming all this way to interrogate me?"

Her face returned to its expressionless state, a stark contrast to her demeanor when she spoke with Officer Lin.

Li Duo was amused by her, "You've forgotten that I saved you at this point?"

Wen Shu opened her mouth, but then realized that changing her expression now would be even more unnatural, so she simply kept her face expressionless.

How do you explain this?

Li Duo then threw a stack of documents in front of her.

Wen Shu picked it up with a puzzled look, and her face immediately turned pale.

News report by Mr. Zou Wei!

She looked up in surprise, "How did you get this?"
