Seeing Rong Mo's face grow increasingly dark, Yuan Mengjie pursed her lips, vaguely worried that Rong Mo might not accompany her to her birthday dinner again.
"Where is this dog now?" Rong Mo asked in a cold voice.
"Xiao Wanqing took this dog to Country A. It is said that when Gu Qingyan went to Country A on business, he would specially order someone to ship a huge suitcase for 'Xiao Doudou' every time, which was full of various pet dog toys and clothes."
Seemingly sensing the low pressure emanating from Rong Mo over the phone, Wei Qiao hesitated whether to continue.
"And then?" Rong Mo continued, "Also, were these things before or after Gu Qingyan and my sister got married?"
“Um,” Wei Qiao paused, “giving ‘Little Bean’ to Xiao Wanqing was something that happened before the marriage, but bringing ‘Little Bean’ a gift on a business trip was something that happened after the marriage.”
"How often?" Rong Mo unconsciously tightened his grip on his phone.
“I did a quick check, and it happens about three to four times a year,” Wei Qiao continued. “But on ordinary days, Gu Qingyan would also specially take pictures of some limited-edition bags, dresses, and jewelry for Xiao Wanqing, and then instruct his assistant to send them to her. However, these things are done in private, so not many people know about them.”
"Hehe, very good! I understand." Rong Mo said with a dark face, preparing to hang up the phone.
"By the way, Mr. Rong," Wei Qiao called out to him, "there's something I need to report to you."
"Um?"
"The doctor gave Gu Qingyan a thorough examination and found that there were no signs of external injury around his head. However, some drugs had been added to his food, which caused some nerve problems. Once the medication is stopped and he drinks plenty of water, the drugs will be completely eliminated from his body in a few days, and he will be fine."
"You mean there's something wrong with our people?" Rong Mo walked a little further away, his face darkening, and said in a low voice, "Wei Qiao, the people who gave Gu Qingyan food were all your men, weren't they?"
"Yes, Mr. Rong." Knowing that he was responsible for the incident involving his subordinate, Wei Qiao said apologetically, "I will find this person as soon as possible."
"So Gu Qingyan is fine now, right? What will happen if he takes this medicine for a long time?" Rong Mo didn't blame him much, but asked with a cold face.
"The doctor said it was fortunate that the dosage was small and the problem was discovered in time, and I will be completely cured in a few days. But if I take it for a long time, it may cause irreversible damage to the brain."
Wei Qiao pursed her lips, mentally reviewing all her bodyguards, but still couldn't figure out who would do such a thing.
"Wei Qiao, go check the background of each bodyguard and see if any of them came from my second uncle's side," Rong Mo calmly instructed.
"Rong Han?" Wei Qiao was taken aback, not expecting Rong Mo to think this way. "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like that. We're quite rigorous in our checks on bodyguards. Unless..."
Wei Qiao suddenly thought of something, and his eyes swept sharply over Xiao Lei, who was standing guard in the distance. A bad feeling began to creep into his mind.
“Unless what?” Rong Mo asked immediately.
"President Rong, I have a suspect in mind, but I can't confirm it yet. I will let you know as soon as I'm sure."
Wei Qiao frowned, and anger rose in his heart. Indeed, there was only one who had not followed him through thick and thin.
"Okay, I understand." Rong Mo nodded, then instructed, "By the way, Zhi Qiu will be transferred to the postpartum care center tomorrow. I will go and keep her company. Have you arranged everything?"
"Yes, Mr. Rong, please rest assured, I have arranged everything for Miss. Please don't worry," Wei Qiao quickly replied.
After hanging up the phone, Rong Mo took the opportunity to straighten his clothes and compose himself before turning to Yuan Mengjie, who had been waiting for a long time, and said, "Mengjie, let's go. Sorry to keep you waiting."
A hint of surprise flashed in Yuan Mengjie's eyes. She was somewhat taken aback, as she had originally thought that Rong Mo would apologize to her after finishing the phone call and that he couldn't have dinner with her.
Unexpectedly, she had already prepared herself mentally, but to her surprise, Rong Mo chose to have dinner with her.
“Okay, let’s go downstairs then.” Yuan Mengjie smiled sweetly and walked gracefully forward to Rong Mo’s side.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, they walked through the noisy crowd to the door of the private room.
"Hey, Ji Feng, isn't that Rong Mo?"
Looks like you brought your girlfriend to dinner?
Ji Feng was drinking with a few people when suddenly the person opposite him quietly pointed to Rong Mo and Yuan Mengjie not far away.
Ji Feng looked back and saw that it was true. He quickly took out his phone with a grin and took a picture of Rong Mo and Yuan Mengjie and sent it to Rong Han.
When the waiter opened the door, Rong Mo glanced at the furnishings inside and immediately frowned.
He went inside, where the room was decorated in a very warm and romantic style.
Two candlesticks sat on a rectangular black table, their pale yellow candlelight casting romantic shadows on the pink flowers on the table.
There are only two sets of tableware on top.
It was clear that it was just the two of them dining tonight.
Yuan Mengjie lied to him just now; this wasn't a birthday dinner, but a private "date."
"Please sit down first." Rong Mo didn't want Yuan Mengjie to feel embarrassed on such a joyous holiday, so he spoke first and very gentlemanly pulled out a chair for her.
Yuan Mengjie was initially a little apprehensive, but seeing Rong Mo's reaction, she smiled and stepped forward.
After Rong Mo sat down, Yuan Mengjie pursed her lips and explained, "I'm sorry, I was actually planning to have dinner with my friends tonight, but I still wanted to have dinner with you alone. I was afraid you wouldn't come, so that's why I said that to you."
"Hmm. It's alright." Rong Mo smiled, his expression not changing much.
After the dishes were served, Rong Mo raised his glass and said, "Mengjie, happy birthday. I'm so glad to be able to celebrate your birthday with you. I know that the friendship we formed while studying abroad is very precious to you. We used to invite our friends to celebrate our birthdays together when we were abroad. I'm sure you miss those days. That's why you wanted to have dinner with me today."
I'm also very happy. Although we are in a superior-subordinate relationship at the company, in my heart, you will always be my classmate and good friend, and also my partner who worked hard and struggled together to move forward in the business.
Come, may our friendship last forever!
Yuan Mengjie's face gradually darkened with each of Rong Mo's words. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but she maintained her polite demeanor and said with a smile, "May our friendship last forever!"
