Upon hearing this, Li Mochuan suddenly looked up and stared at Ye Ningwan's face.

Li Mochuan's face turned extremely ugly. His sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, stared intently at Ye Ningwan's face as he coldly uttered a few words.

"Ye Ningwan, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to seduce me?"

He then issued a warning.

"Don't forget whose woman you are! Behave yourself!"

Seeing Li Mochuan's exasperated expression, Ye Ningwan suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Li Mochuan, and suddenly placed her hands on the chair, a bright and beautiful smile spreading across her lips.

"Mr. Li, the way you're talking makes it sound like I've seduced you. But I haven't done anything! You wouldn't be so easily swayed, would you?"

Li Mochuan was forced to lean back, and he suddenly grabbed Ye Ningwan's chin with force.

Ye Ningwan raised her head slightly and met Li Mochuan's gaze.

Li Mochuan's expression was extremely cold.

"Ye Ningwan, don't try anything with me. Trying to provoke me won't work."

A look of pain appeared on Ye Ningwan's face. She frowned slightly and said in a low voice.

"It hurts...be gentle..."

Li Mochuan's face contorted for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. He shook off Ye Ningwan and forcefully pushed her back into the chair.

Li Mochuan stood up in frustration, glanced coldly at Ye Ningwan, and warned her in a cold voice.

"Don't think that I'll let you leave just because you're using these methods! You're staying here until Pei Fengzhi comes out, and you're not going anywhere."

Ye Ningwan whistled, tilted her head back, and looked at him with a defiant glint in her eyes.

"Mr. Li, don't be anxious. I didn't say anything. I've been staying here obediently as you and Pei Fengzhi instructed, and I haven't gone anywhere. Don't wrong me!"

Li Mochuan snorted coldly, no longer caring about the purpose of his previous visit, and turned to leave Ye Ningwan's room in a huff.

Ye Ningwan turned to look at Li Mochuan's departing figure, smiled, and said.

"Mr. Li, you're leaving so soon? Why don't you stay a little longer? You're so handsome, I'd like to talk to you more."

Li Mochuan quickened his pace.

Bang!

The bedroom only became completely quiet after the bedroom door was slammed shut.

Li Mochuan strode back to his room, crossed the living room, entered the bedroom, and forcefully pressed down on the oil painting on his wall.

Everything behind the wall was slowly revealed, showing all the information about the jade pendant with two dragons on Ye Ningwan's body.

Li Mochuan looked at everything on the wall, then reached out and gently stroked the clear photograph of the jade pendant with two dragons in the center, his eyes filled with a tenderness that no one else had ever seen.

He muttered to himself in a hoarse voice.

"I saw a pair of eyes that look a lot like yours today. Do you think that woman could be you?"

Li Mochuan was alone in the bedroom, but unfortunately no one answered him.

Li Mochuan rested his forehead against the wall and closed his eyes.

He went to find Ye Ningwan earlier because he wanted to ask her to find out if she was that person.

Unfortunately, Ye Ningwan was too difficult to deal with; she drove him away after just a few words.

How could there be such a despicable woman?!

Li Mochuan slammed his fist against the wall.

He gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

"It can't be, how could that person become so annoying!"

Li Mochuan looked up at the stark white ceiling, took a deep breath, and finally took in all his emotions.

He lowered his hand from the wall, regaining his usual cold and sharp demeanor, his face no longer showing the brief confusion and recollection he had shown earlier.

...

In Ye Ningwan's bedroom.

Just after Li Mochuan left, Ye Ningwan received a call from Ye Zhenning.

Upon answering the phone, Ye Zhenning's extremely angry roar came through.

"You bitch, how could you do this to the Lin family? You heartless ingrate, I should never have adopted you! I should have just strangled you! You son of a bitch..."

Ye Ningwan tilted her head and moved the hand holding the phone away from her ear, but Ye Zhenning's roaring and cursing still made her eardrums ache.

Ye Ningwan frowned, gave a cold snort of annoyance, immediately muted the phone, and then tossed it aside.

She picked up the towel from the ground, slowly dried her hair, and enjoyed the warm sunshine, feeling cozy all over.

She leaned lazily against the sofa, wishing she could stretch out her whole body and let the musty smell from being locked in the cramped interrogation room for the past few days dissipate.

About an hour later, Ye Ningwan threw the towel aside, shook her hair which was almost dry, and then pressed the speakerphone button on her phone to turn on the loudspeaker.

Ye Zhenning's panting voice came from the phone.

"Ye Ningwan, you..."

Ye Ningwan raised an eyebrow and spoke to Ye Zhenning on the other end of the phone with a half-smile.

"Ye Zhenning, you really have impressive lung capacity. You've been cursing me from afar for over an hour, and you can still keep going? Aren't you tired?"

Ye Zhenning's breathing was so loud it sounded like a broken bellows.

He seemed to sense that something was wrong and coldly questioned Ye Ningwan.

"Ye Ningwan, what do you mean?"

Ye Ningwan chuckled softly.

"Chairman Lin, if you haven't had enough of your rant, please continue. I'll put your phone on silent mode again."

As soon as Ye Ningwan finished speaking, Ye Zhenning, who was furious on the other end of the phone, suddenly fell silent.

A few seconds later, Ye Ningwan heard a "click" from the other end of the phone, followed by a busy tone.

Ye Zhenning hung up the phone.

Ye Ningwan chuckled lightly, tossed the phone aside, and didn't care at all.

It would be best if she got so angry that she wouldn't dare to hit him again.

However, the Ye family obviously wouldn't give up so easily. After all, their precious daughter had been taken away, and the Ye family's reputation had been severely damaged. If the Ye family wanted to calm things down as soon as possible, the most important thing was to reconcile with her.

As long as Ye Ningwan is willing to settle, Ye Ruoxin can be released. After all, if this case is handled well, it can be resolved as a civil case, turning a major issue into a minor one and a minor one into nothing.

However, if it is not handled properly, it will turn into a criminal case, and then it won't be something that Ye Ningwan can just say she won't pursue!

Sure enough, not long after, Ye Ningwan's phone rang again.

This time, however, it wasn't Ye Zhenning calling, but someone Ye Ningwan had never expected.

Ye Ningwan's lips curled slightly, and she pressed the answer button without thinking.

"Hello, Mrs. Ye, what a coincidence! Chairman Ye just hung up the phone, and you're calling right now?"

Hearing Ye Ningwan's sarcastic remarks, Mei Aiqing subconsciously gripped her phone tighter.

She choked out a cry.

"Wanwan..."
