A flash of coldness crossed Gu Momo's eyes, and she immediately called Li Mo:
"What exactly is going on with the wealthy businessman Ala? They've started making moves again?!"
Li Mo on the other end of the phone said urgently, "Yes, President Gu! We recently went to F country again to intercept our Mande gold mining operations. In just a few days, they have seized nearly 70% of the Mande gold mine we control! Moreover, every action they take is targeted. The opponent we've encountered this time is probably quite powerful!!"
A playful chuckle played in Gu Momo's eyes as she casually leaned back in the armchair, her eyes concealing amusement.
"After all, he's someone who's accumulated immense wealth in the gray areas; such people are the most ruthless! But I think the fact that he's willing to follow the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance suggests that there's a secret between them that no one else knows!"
Li Mo was immediately stumped: "Then, Pavilion Master, what should we do now? It seems that Master Ting has already taken action..."
"What?" A strange emotion flashed in Gu Momo's eyes. "Why didn't he tell me?"
"I don't know! It's probably because Miss Momo has been working too hard lately, so Mr. Ting wants her to rest more."
Gu Momo narrowed her eyes. This was very much like Li Zhanting's style, but she couldn't just sit idly by and wait for her fate!
So, she calmly said, "Li Mo, try to get some information from Mo Feng. We'll find the right opportunity to meet up with Li Zhanting's men. Also, didn't we ask you to secretly investigate the wealthy businessman Ala? How's the situation?"
“Ara has countless subordinates, making it very difficult for our undercover agents to get close, so we have very little information about him.”
Gu Momo's eyes showed no sign of relaxing: "Then give me the only information you have!"
"yes!"
After dinner, Li Zhanting continued his conversation with Li Zhanfeng in the study, and the two seemed to be discussing something.
Gu Momo didn't disturb them, so she took Gu Jingxing and Li Zixiao back to the room. In the entire hall, only Li Qingling was sitting on the carpet in front of the French windows, idly drawing circles on the ground with her finger.
Li Qingling could tell that although her father and mother had temporarily returned here, they always seemed to be in a hurry.
When she lived with her dad, he always put her and her brother first, no matter what.
Now, things are really messed up. Mommy finally came back to her side, but now she'll soon be unable to see Daddy and Mommy again...
"Baby? What's wrong? Why are you here all alone?" Gu Momo came downstairs to get some mineral water and immediately spotted the little dumpling in the corner. "Why didn't you go to your room? Sweetie is already getting ready to rest."
"Mommy?" The living room lights were off, and Li Qingling looked in Gu Momo's direction by the moonlight.
Gu Momo walked to her daughter's side, scooped her up from the carpet and pulled her into her arms. "It's so late, it's time to go to bed."
"Mmm." Li Qingling nodded obediently.
Gu Momo turned around with her in her arms, and in the darkness, she accidentally bumped into a figure.
Li Zhanting quickly put one arm around her waist and held her hand with the other, firstly to prevent Gu Momo from falling, and secondly to prevent Li Qingling from being thrown out as well.
"Why aren't the lights on?" Li Zhanting's voice, carrying a faint minty scent, came from above. The unique gentleness in his voice was the kind of tenderness and care he only showed when facing his wife and daughter.
"If it's barely visible, then it's no trouble," Gu Momo replied softly.
Li Qingling was sandwiched between the two, and this was the first time she had been so close to both her mother and father at the same time.
They were so close that she could almost hear their heartbeats.
Although she was still a baby, she could completely feel the inexplicable ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them.
At this moment, Li Qingling wished she could turn into a little butterfly and escape from her mother's arms with a "whoosh," leaving her alone time with her father.
However, even if she could turn into a little butterfly, Gu Momo wouldn't give her that chance.
After a brief thank you, Gu Momo immediately carried her daughter back to her room.
"Baby, get some rest early, goodnight." Gu Momo put her daughter in bed, tucked her in, and gently reminded her.
Li Qingling was wrapped up tightly, with only her little head showing. "Mommy, Ling'er can't sleep."
"What's wrong? Something on your mind?" Gu Momo gently rubbed Li Qingling's little head. "Tell Mommy about it?"
Li Qingling hesitated whether to tell her mother the truth, but thinking that her mother and father were already very tired, she swallowed her words and cautiously asked, "Mommy, when are you and Daddy getting married?"
Gu Momo paused for a second, then smiled and said, "Why did you suddenly think of this? Do you really want to be a flower girl for Daddy and Mommy?"
Li Qingling nodded guiltily: "Yes, Ling'er really wants to see Daddy and Mommy get married."
"Sweetie, once Mommy has finished dealing with what's on my plate, we'll start preparing for the wedding. Daddy and Mommy will definitely dress Lin Ling'er up beautifully so she can be a happy flower girl."
So... Daddy and Mommy's wedding will have to be postponed again?
Li Qingling sighed inwardly. She didn't want to be separated from her daddy and mommy. At least for now, her daddy was still very good to her and her mommy. Her happy days with her daddy and mommy were still ahead.
"Mommy is the best." Li Qingling snuggled into Gu Momo's arms and acted coquettishly.
"So, my darling, can you go to sleep now?" Gu Momo lay on the edge of the bed, resting her chin on her hand.
Li Qingling responded with a smile, nodded, and then obediently closed her eyes.
In the suite of the best five-star hotel in Country F, Ala sat on the sofa in the living room, a burning cigar between his fingers.
He brought the cigarette holder to his lips, took a deep drag, and exhaled a smoke ring, filling the room with a scent of plants and leather.
"You mean, there's another batch of tamedat gold being mined in Country F?"
“Yes.” His subordinate, standing to his right, replied respectfully, “This is a message from our men who have been staying in F country for five hours. Gu Momo’s goods have been hijacked by us, and she must be in a panic, frantically searching for other channels to provide her with Mandekin. She might try to get the Mandekin mined from this site.”
Ala's eyes flashed with icy coldness: "Then we absolutely cannot give her that chance!"
The jewelry industry can be said to be the core industry of SK Group, bringing Gu Momo huge profits every hour. It is because of such abundant financial support that Gu Momo is able to mobilize such a huge force.
Moreover, Gu Momo relied on her influence in the jewelry industry to not only grow her business but also to win over social elites, accumulating countless riches and making countless social elites envious of her jewelry.
It's fair to say that cutting off SK Group's jewelry profits is like cutting off one of SK Group's arms!
