Five years ago, Gu Momo saved the Empire's richest man and was forced to conceive a child.
Five years later, she returned强势 with countless secret identities. Countless tyants knelt before...
"It's true! Absolutely true!" Li Mo nodded and quickly flipped to the fifth page of the document that had just been handed to him, where Mu Xuefu's photo was prominently displayed.
“Through some special means, I found out Mu Xuefu’s flight. She arrived in Country C the day before our cargo ship sank, and went straight to Ala’s villa in Country C after getting off the plane. According to the testimony of Ala’s men, Ala launched a retaliatory attack on many people that night, which was probably instigated by his daughter.”
Gu Momo sneered. This is exactly the kind of thinking that only underground forces have. They have to retaliate over such a small matter!
Do they really think the whole world belongs to them and they can take revenge whenever they want?
"By the way, boss, besides investigating the relationship between Ala and Mu Xuefu, we also learned about this person's deployments in Country C and Country F. On the surface, Ala is just an ordinary businessman, but in reality, his wealth doesn't come from these obvious sources; it comes from the black market hidden behind these shell companies." Li Mo then flipped through the documents:
"What we're secretly involved in are underground banks, stock market manipulation, and human trafficking, among other things, but we don't have enough evidence yet. If that's the case, then we can get more legitimate forces to help us."
Gu Momo had heard about these things, and if it were the old her, she definitely wouldn't have gotten involved.
But now, Ala is the strongest economic backer of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, so she has no choice but to take action against Ala.
“Since the underlying businesses are difficult to investigate, let’s start with what’s visible. Cut off his funding chain, and he’ll naturally turn to that illicit income,” Gu Momo coldly instructed. “Also, contact the Capital Criminal Investigation Department. This is a big deal for the wealthy businessman, and it’s a matter that benefits both the people and himself. They’ll be interested.”
Li Mo instantly understood her intention and couldn't help but exclaim, "Boss! It has to be you!"
Gu Momo glared at him with a smile, "Alright! Stop fooling around and get on with your business!"
"Yes, sir!" Li Mo saluted, mimicking a scene from a TV drama, and then left with his tablet computer.

After settling things at the company, Gu Momo couldn't wait to go out and enjoy life with Li Zhanting.
Gu Momo also restored her exquisite makeup and appearance. When she went out with Li Zhanting, it was like a supermodel runway photo in a fashion magazine, attracting a lot of attention.
"Sister Momo, over here, over here!" Gu Wanrou waved excitedly to the two of them, and Gu Momo handed her handbag to Li Zhanting and ran over quickly.
Young Master Li was completely bewildered. When had he ever done such physical labor? But when he thought of his wife's handbag, he immediately straightened his back and picked it up properly.
Even Mo Feng, who was about to take over, hesitated. It seemed that Master Ting really enjoyed helping the boss with his work, so it was best for him not to interfere.
"MoMo, you're finally back! How did things go? Did it go smoothly? Are you alright?" Gu Wanrou grabbed her shoulders and looked her up and down.
"Don't worry, everything is fine, I'm okay."
After confirming that Gu Momo was alright, Gu Wanrou looked at Li Zhanting with satisfaction, "Not bad, I didn't trust you for nothing. Since we've won so well, how about I treat you to hot pot? Perfect timing, Grandma's with the kids, we can have some drinks after hot pot!"
Although she spoke very softly, Li Zhanting still heard her. "You drink, she won't."
Li Zhanting pulled Gu Momo into his arms, as if to assert his ownership.
Gu Wanrou shrugged. "Sigh, some people are really henpecked these days~"
She tossed the keys to Mo Feng, saying, "Take my car back first. I've called another car."
Mo Feng took the keys, along with Gu Momo and Li Zhanting's bags, and headed to the underground parking garage.
Gu Wanrou drove a limited edition Lamborghini and took Li Zhanting and Gu Momo directly to "Nine Hot Pot".
This hot pot restaurant is considered high-end in the entire capital, and the food is also quite delicious. If it weren't for taking care of Li Zhanting, this rich young master, she would definitely have taken Gu Momo to eat at a roadside stall.
When it comes to hot pot, the ones hidden in alleys are the most authentic. Apart from the slightly less-than-ideal environment, they have almost no other drawbacks.
"Let's go, I've already booked a private room in advance, it's on the fifth floor." Gu Wanrou pulled Gu Momo into the store, and they ran into Ye Lingxiao who was going in with them at the entrance. She quickly and happily went up to Ye Lingxiao and hugged his arm: "Brother, you're already here!"
Upon seeing her brother again, Gu Momo was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Brother, it's been so long!"
Ye Lingxiao's eyes revealed a gentle smile: "Momo seems to have become even more beautiful recently. It seems Zhan Ting has taken good care of you."
"Brother." Li Zhanting stepped forward and smiled respectfully and politely at Ye Lingxiao.
Ye Lingxiao didn't stand on ceremony and said with a smile, "Since everyone's here, let's all enjoy the meal!"
"Yay! Bro, let's eat a lot tonight, I haven't had hot pot in ages!"
"Okay, then I'll satisfy you tonight." Ye Lingxiao looked at Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou with tenderness in his eyes.
The three walked hand in hand at the front, creating a heartwarming scene that warmed Li Zhanting's heart.
Perhaps nothing in this world is better than having family members alive and well, and being reunited with family.
That evening, Gu Momo had a rare treat, enjoying a hearty meal with Gu Wanrou and Ye Lingxiao. But thinking about it carefully, it seemed like it had been a long time since she had enjoyed such a pleasant dinner with her family!
Li Zhanting knew that the three of them had finally reunited, so he patiently stayed by their side, helping them order food and cook hot pot.
When everyone returned to the Li family home, it was already 11 p.m., and the entire Li family villa was brightly lit.
"Mr. Ye, please have a cup of tea first." Butler Qi brewed the tea and brought it to the coffee table in the living room. "The old master is still upstairs tidying up; he'll be down in a bit."
"Thank you." Ye Lingxiao surveyed his surroundings. Although the Li family was wealthy and powerful, their decor was very understated, with no extravagant items, yet each one was quite valuable.
"Brother, it's good that you came back with me today, so I don't have to eat dog food alone." Gu Wanrou sat on the sofa and looked at Gu Momo and Li Zhanting with a meaningful gaze. "This young master Li, although he seems indifferent on weekdays, he treats our sister Momo like she's in his mouth."
Ye Lingxiao smiled, clearly satisfied with Li Zhanting.
Just then, Li Zhanfeng strode in from outside the door, his deep gaze meeting Gu Wanrou's in mid-air, causing her heart to tremble slightly and stirring up ripples.
She quickly sat up straight, hurriedly lowered her head, and pretended to drink tea.
