As soon as Wen Shu left, Li Yuanqing said to Li Duo, "Go back to Budong Mountain and explain to Dad yourself. He answered the phone, so don't force him to personally go and find Wen Shu."
If Li Zhonggeng were to personally seek out Wen Shu, I fear Wen Shu would not be able to stay in Beicheng.
Li Duo's face was gloomy. He glanced at Li Yuanqing and said, "Since you are representing Father, I might as well tell you that it won't matter who intervenes."
“First, I can’t allow anyone to drive her away. Second, no one can drive Wen Shu away. Since you like being your father’s pawn so much, I’ll start with you.”
Li Duo stared at her and said, "I heard you've been negotiating a cooperation deal with the Long family recently? Withdraw it as soon as possible, you won't be able to close that deal."
Li Yuanqing paused, "What do you mean? That cooperation project is something Dad has always been very supportive of, don't you dare mess it up!"
Li Duo scoffed, "I warned you not to meddle in my business. Since you didn't listen, I'll teach you a lesson you'll learn from."
"Li Duo!" Li Yuanqing trembled with anger. "That's a collaboration that Dad has been involved in all along, and you dare to deliberately sabotage it?"
"You can tell your father that I lost the cooperation agreement."
Li Duo waved his hand and left, while Li Yuanqing stood there, saying, "Li Duo, are you going against your father's wishes?"
Li Duo turned around: "Of course not, I am, after all, my father's only good son."
Li Yuanqing's nails dug into his palm. "You're really crazy! You're just doing this on purpose to anger Dad!"
Li Duo got into the car, and Li Liangfeng glanced at him, saying, "The old man is probably going to be angry."
Li Duo's face turned cold, and he turned his head away, saying, "I actually hope he gets angry."
Li Liangfeng remained silent, while Li Duo's expression tightened. "Have these two keep an eye on Wen Shu. If anything happens to the old man, notify me immediately."
Li Liangfeng responded and then said, "There's some progress on the matter I was asked to investigate before."
Li Duo looked up.
Li Liangfeng said, "That night, Miss Lin was at the Golden Summit Club, and Miss Wen Shu was also there."
Li Duo sat up abruptly. "Really?"
"real."
"There's something you might not know: Ms. Su Ying is actually Ms. Wen Shu's mother."
Li Duo looked up in shock: "Impossible!"
Li Liangfeng reached into the passenger seat and took a folder from the passenger seat, handing it to Li Duo. "This is the information I've found so far."
Li Liangfeng explained, "The reason Miss Wen Shu went to the Golden Summit that night was because Su Ying went there for a blind date, but her date didn't show up."
Li Duo opened the folder and realized that Wen Shu was Su Ying's child before she married Zhong Tingsong.
"Such a big thing as Su Ying, how come no media reporters dug it up?" Li Duo chuckled.
"Wen Shu's biological father was forced to leave the country and his whereabouts are unknown. It was Su Ying who used the Zhong family's influence to force him to leave."
Li Liangfeng explained, "Back then, he was just a minor celebrity with no connections or background. Important witnesses left, so there was no way to dig up any dirt on him."
Li Duo flipped through the documents in his hand, "I really couldn't tell that Su Ying was Wen Shu's biological mother."
For Zhong Wanwan's sake, she forced Wen Shu to make concessions, and the job she introduced to Wen Shu was still of that nature. Not to mention, she used the birth certificate to crudely cause the deaths of her own mother and Wen Shu.
Li Liangfeng nodded. "According to my investigation, Su Ying does indeed dislike Wen Shu."
"When she introduced Wen Shu to a potential partner, she wanted to marry Wen Shu off to an old man because he promised to provide conveniences for the Zhong family."
Li Duo tightened his grip on the document. "Is he your biological son?"
Li Liangfeng replied, "There's a complete birth certificate, so she should be his biological daughter. By the way, Su Ying also really likes Miss Lin."
Li Duo raised an eyebrow, "Jing Yu?"
Li Liangfeng nodded, "Yes. Miss Lin debuted by using the nickname 'Little Su Ying' to gain popularity. At that time, Su Ying did not object and even praised her publicly on several occasions."
Li Duo pondered for a moment, "They do look quite alike. So, they've both been to the Golden Summit, but why do they both deny it?"
Li Liangfeng shook his head: "It's not clear yet. There are still many things shrouded in mystery, and it will be difficult to find out in a short time."
Li Duo squinted. "What's coming will come, and the truth will eventually come out. By the way, doesn't Wen Shu have a son? Who is that kid's father?"
“I was just about to tell you this,” Li Liangfeng said. “In my investigation, Wen Shu has no romantic experience.”
Li Duo turned his head and stared, "Where did that child come from? Did she adopt him?"
"The child should have been born to her; neighbors can corroborate this, saying that many people saw her during her pregnancy. It's just that the identity of the child's father remains a mystery."
Li Duo said, "She said the child's father was building railways abroad..."
Li Liangfeng interrupted, "President Li, she hasn't even told you that Su Ying is her biological mother. Do you expect her to share her romantic experiences with you?"
Li Duo choked, unable to utter a word for a long time.
“Based on my investigation, I have a bold guess,” Li Liangfeng said as he drove, “that child might be the product of an accident.”
"An accident?" Li Duo met Li Liangfeng's gaze through the rearview mirror.
"So something might have happened to Wen Shu that night at the Golden Summit, but for some reason, she had to give birth to the child..."
"Furthermore, the exact time Wen Shu left the Golden Summit should be around 1:30 a.m. If her blind date didn't show up, why didn't she leave the Golden Summit?"
For a moment, Li Duo's heart suddenly raced. "You mean Wen Xingzhou might have gotten pregnant after Wen Shu's night at the Golden Summit?"
"I checked the child's birth date, and the timing matches!"
Li Duo felt his body trembling, but he controlled his emotions. "Where's Jing Yu?"
"The night Ms. Lin appeared, it was kept very secret. She left around 2 a.m., and her agent, Ms. Zhao, went to pick her up."
Li Duo asked, "You mean, they all left suddenly in the early morning because..."
“Yes, that means they must have encountered situations they couldn’t handle one after another,” Li Liangfeng said. “Miss Lin is an artist, and she can’t afford to have a scandal, so she contacted her agent to pick her up and leave overnight.”
"As for Ms. Wen, her family situation is special. She only has her ailing grandmother by her side, and no one can help her. She can only suffer in silence and flee the scene as soon as possible."
Li Duo moved his lips, but didn't speak.
Li Liangfeng continued, "Judging from the time they left, your previous guess might be correct."
Li Duo's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated, especially the excitement of the heart of China about to leap out of his chest.
He was fascinated by the scent emanating from Wen Shu, certain qualities of the two of them, and the woody fragrance they exuded.
He thought Wen Shu was a replacement for Lin Jingyu after four years of absence; he thought he had been feeling empty for too long and needed a way to release that emptiness…
It turns out that's not how it is. What he kept hidden deep inside, something he couldn't quite articulate, might actually be the truth.
Li Liangfeng suddenly asked, "Should we do a paternity test?"
