"Um."
"Wanwan." Zhan Jingting pinched her cheek. "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing that the other party has shown up. At least we have a direction now, right?"
“That makes sense.” Qiao Wanwan smiled. “I believe you can find out the truth and find the person. Don’t worry, I won’t go out easily in the future. I will take good care of the family and won’t cause you any trouble.”
Zhan Jingting hugged her. "Okay."
......
Qiao Wanwan thought and thought, but still couldn't figure out how the mastermind behind the scenes could be related to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo has been dead for so long, and revenge against her and Zhan Jingting requires a long period of planning. The person who is so dedicated to avenging him must be very close to him.
However, Zhan Jingting's investigation revealed that there was no such person in Lin Mo's network of connections.
Perhaps, as Zhan Jingting said, this person is hidden somewhere they haven't been able to find.
Now that this person has appeared, it means he is prepared to deal with them, so we must be extra careful.
The security of Wutong Bay is personally controlled by Zhan Jingting, so there is no need to worry. All Qiao Wanwan can do is keep an eye on the people in her family and prevent them from going out casually, so that they don't end up like Cheng Zaozao.
Although she couldn't offer any other help, she couldn't help but worry, and this was what she thought about in her spare time.
In the afternoon, Qiao Wanwan was drinking tea in the rooftop garden when she suddenly remembered something and immediately took out her phone to make a call.
The call was answered after a while. "What is it?"
"Has Xu Lai been found?" Qiao Wanwan asked.
"What do you think?" He Songling sneered. "Isn't my whereabouts entirely under your control? Why ask a question you already know the answer to?"
“I haven’t been following your whereabouts, nor have I asked my husband, so I don’t know,” Qiao Wanwan said truthfully.
"Then why did you suddenly decide to call me? Just for the sake of politeness?" He Songling mocked. "Madam Zhan, we're all honest people, why play these formalities..."
"I'm not in the mood for playing games with you," Qiao Wanwan said calmly. "Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point: what's your relationship with Lin Mo?"
He Songling immediately retorted, "Who is Lin Mo?"
Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "If you really don't know Lin Mo, your normal reaction should be to go through your mind and recall if you've heard the name before, instead of immediately recognizing him. He Songling, sometimes the faster you react, the easier it is to give yourself away."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before someone asked, "Why did you suddenly bring up this name?"
"You admit it." Qiao Wanwan suddenly stood up. "You really know Lin Mo!"
“I asked you why you suddenly brought up this name,” He Songling repeated.
“Because I’ve seen Lin Mo’s face several times recently.” Qiao Wanwan’s hand slowly clenched into a fist. “I suspected that the mastermind was related to Lin Mo, and now it seems that my suspicion has been confirmed. Not only the mastermind, but even you are related to Lin Mo!”
"You saw Lin Mo's face?" He Songling asked. "Are you sure?"
“I’m absolutely certain,” Qiao Wanwan said coldly. “You know better than anyone why I saw his face, don’t you? Was he brought back to life, or was someone impersonating him?”
He Songling remained silent.
Qiao Wanwan had already guessed what was going on. "It seems you can't tell me the answer, but that's okay. Now that he's appeared, we're going to have a tough battle ahead, but I firmly believe that good will prevail over evil."
"As for you, once we deal with him, it will be your turn. For Xu Lai's sake, I'll give you a piece of advice: if you can turn back now, perhaps I can still spare your life. You're a smart man, you should understand what I mean. Think it over carefully."
After Qiao Wanwan finished speaking, she hung up the phone and went to the study to find Zhan Jingting. "Jingting, I just spoke with He Songling!"
“I know.” Zhan Jingting smiled. “I listened to his phone and overheard your conversation.”
Do you think it's true? Or is he just misleading me?
Qiao Wanwan was a little uncertain, after all, He Songling was a very shrewd person.
"It doesn't look fake."
Only after receiving Zhan Jingting's reply did Qiao Wanwan finally dare to confirm, "That means our guess was correct, and everything is related to Lin Mo."
"Um."
“He is definitely dead. It’s impossible for him to come back to life. So someone is planning to take revenge on us for him.”
"Um."
Qiao Wanwan pondered for a moment and said, "No matter who this person is, if they dare to show their face at this time, they must be confident in dealing with us. Everything is fine at home. Is there anything unusual at the company?"
Zhan Jingting smiled and said, "The Imperial View Group is even more impregnable than Wutong Bay, so don't worry."
"That's good." Qiao Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Jingting, I think he came for me, so perhaps..."
"Absolutely not!"
Before Qiao Wanwan could finish speaking, Zhan Jingting interrupted her, "You absolutely cannot be bait. No matter how well you are protected, there will still be danger. I will never agree to that."
Qiao Wanwan was both amused and exasperated. "Could you not know me so well? I haven't even said anything and you've already guessed..."
“We’re husband and wife, of course I know you, and it’s not hard to guess.” Zhan Jingting stood up and walked to her, holding her shoulders. “Wanwan, I know you’re anxious to find him, but it’s not an easy thing, so we have to keep our cool.”
"You wanting to be the bait is a sign of impatience. At this point, whoever gets anxious first loses, understand?"
“I understand. I’m just discussing this with you. I won’t go unless I’m sure it’s safe. Otherwise, I won’t take the risk.” Qiao Wanwan looked at him. “My life isn’t just my own, it’s yours, the child’s, and our family’s. I won’t let anything happen to me.”
"It's good that you understand." Zhan Jingting hugged her. "Don't rush, just stay at home and leave everything outside to me."
“Mm,” Qiao Wanwan replied. “Don’t worry, since he’s coming for me, I’m even less likely to give him a chance to hurt me.”
“That’s right,” Zhan Jingting said in a deep voice. “Moreover, because of his arrogance, he didn’t kill me immediately, and after I escaped, everything spiraled out of control. Now he’s furious and won’t give us any more chances. You can see from what happened in Jiangnan that he only wants us dead now…”
“This is indeed a life-or-death battle, and we want him dead too.” Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes, concealing the hatred in them. “I will repay him tenfold for the harm he has caused us!”
......
The following days were peaceful, but Qiao Wanwan always felt that the calmer the surface, the more intense the undercurrents beneath.
Sure enough, in the dead of night, everyone in Wutong Bay was awakened by a huge noise!
