Not only did she get on a pirate ship, she also became the captain's wife...
Li Mufei was so excited she almost swore. Ning Jiu'an hadn't even said anything yet! But Li Shaochuan was the first to speak up for him?
"There's nothing I can do, your sister-in-law has always had better taste than you, she just likes my type!"
At this moment, Li Shaochuan was arrogant and conceited, praising himself to the skies.
"Of course, I didn't say you were bad, I was just talking about how my sister and Yueyue view me in this respect."
Li Shaochuan patted Ning Jiu'an on the shoulder and said with a smile, afraid that Ning Jiu'an would misunderstand his meaning.
"Tch! You're the one who put a curse on them!"
Li Mufei and Li Shaochuan are always arguing and neither of them is willing to admit defeat; they always have to win.
The two siblings argued for quite a while, neither willing to give in.
The others could only watch helplessly as the two childish kids looked on.

"Boss, we've been checking all morning, but haven't found anything suspicious. Could it be that the person was just being cautious during the day? I just finished checking the surveillance footage this morning, but it was intentionally obscured. So, Ah Yu and I split up and investigated the factory's employees."
Yan Xiluo's phone vibrated. Opening the message page, she saw a work report sent by Pang Jiayi.
"Ayu? How come you two are together?"
Did Lan Jingyan also have someone help her investigate?
"He said that Boss Lan sent him to investigate. After we met, we decided to discuss countermeasures together and then split up to carry out our actions."
Pang Jiayi didn't know how to address Lan Jingyan. He only knew that Ayu called Yan Xiluo "sister-in-law," so he couldn't very well call Lan Jingyan "doctor" or "brother-in-law."
Yan Xiluo would probably kill him if she heard that.
(Yan Xiluo: Am I really that violent? (ー`′ー))
"Okay, go check the employees' family backgrounds and stuff, you know what I mean?"
Yan Xiluo didn't go into too much detail. Pang Jiayi was her capable assistant and the one who understood her best.
"Understood. This morning we only secretly observed their behavior to see if there was anything unusual, and whether the people they came into contact with were suspicious."
Pang Jiayi realized something was wrong as soon as he sent the message, and then quickly turned off his phone.
"Ayu, look, isn't that Old Li?"
Pang Jiayi narrowed his eyes, trying to see more clearly.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Ayu looked puzzled, wondering what was going on.
"Aren't they supposed to be prohibited from leaving the factory during lunchtime? Lunch and lunch break are all at the factory, so why is Old Li running out?"
This was the information he had gathered from people at the factory that morning.
"Should I go ask their manager?"
Ayu didn't think much of it and looked in the direction Old Li left.
"No! Let's not alert them yet. Until we find out who it is, no one can escape suspicion."
Pang Jiayi made a pause gesture, indicating that this was inappropriate.
"Shall we follow them? I'll have the two of them stay here and keep watch."
Ayu nodded, put her hands in her pockets, and pondered what Pang Jiayi had said, finding it somewhat reasonable.
"Alright, that's the only way!"
Seeing that Lao Li was about to disappear from their sight, Pang Jiayi quickly followed.
"Brothers, I'm leaving this place to you. Contact me immediately if anything happens!"
Ayu quickly instructed his two brothers to continue staking out the location.
"Okay, Brother Yu!"
"Brother Yu, I understand!"
Ayu quickly caught up with Pang Jiayi and joined the operation.
And so, Pang Jiayi and Ayu followed Lao Li all the way to the Municipal People's Hospital.
In the ward
"mom."
"Why did you come to see me again? The company is so far from the hospital, don't bother. Fang just brought me lunch, and she's going home with the utensils now."
Zhang Lan's tone was filled with worry and heartache, and her face was sallow and haggard.
"I just wanted to spend more time with you!"
Old Li sat in front of Zhang Lan's bed, forcing a smile.
"Oh no! You really don't need to! Your boss is so good to us, he even paid tens of thousands of yuan for Mom's surgery in advance. You should focus on your work and stop running to the hospital every other day!"
Her tone was reproachful, but her voice was weak and powerless.
"I asked my boss for leave. It's okay, Mom. You can focus on getting better."
Old Li comforted Zhang Lan, his eyes darting away.
"Wang Chuanzhi is notoriously stingy, how could he possibly pay for Old Li's mother's surgery in advance? Something's fishy about this!"
Pang Jiayi and Ayu were keeping watch outside the door, and Pang Jiayi immediately noticed the flaw as soon as he heard it.
"Yes, that money definitely wasn't given by Wang Chuanzhi. To be precise, the money may have come from an unknown source!"
Ayu's words hit the nail on the head, and the two of them immediately agreed to investigate Lao Li's whereabouts over the past period of time, but it would take time to confirm his whereabouts.
The two estimated the time when Lao Li would make a face-to-face transaction with the person behind him, and quickly investigated Lao Li's whereabouts during those days.
"Ayu, here's what we'll do: one of us will follow up on Lao Li's investigation, and the other will keep an eye out for any unusual behavior from the other employees."
Pang Jiayi whispered something to Ayu, occasionally glancing at their surroundings.
"Okay, that's what I was thinking too. Let's see if Lao Li goes straight back to the factory. We'll follow him for now. We'll reassign and organize the next steps this afternoon."
Ayu was also very cautious, constantly paying attention to what was happening inside.
"Uh-huh!"
The two hit it off immediately, and the work progressed smoothly. Afterwards, Lao Li returned to the factory.

Q City
In the villa
Yan Chenyu and Chen Nanxing were in the same boat; since they had no work, they slept straight through until noon.
Chen Nanxing woke up midway through the night, went to the living room to pour a glass of water, and didn't close the door properly when she returned to her room, so Nuannuan took the opportunity to sneak in.
"Hmm~ Don't move~ Who is this?"
Chen Nanxing touched it in a daze and found it to be fluffy and soft.
Yan Chenyu had just woken up and came out to the living room. Seeing that Chen Nanxing's door was not closed, he assumed that she had gone out and wanted to go over and close the door for her.
Then I overheard what Chen Nanxing had just said to Nuannuan, and it sounded particularly languid and pleasant.
But he didn't know it was directed at Nuannuan. He thought someone was taking advantage of Chen Nanxing, so he quickly pushed the door open and entered.
"Nuan Nuan, what are you doing here... Ah!!!"
Chen Nanxing rubbed her sleepy eyes, picked up Nuannuan, and spoke gently to it. Then she saw Yan Chenyu push the door open and enter, which startled her.
Chen Nanxing was wearing a silk nightgown, and it was completely empty underneath! There was nothing inside! She was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Chen Nanxing subconsciously pulled the blanket next to her and covered her chest, while Nuannuan snuggled up to her and acted coquettishly.
"Um... Nanxing, I didn't mean to. I just saw your door wasn't closed and wanted to close it for you. Then, after hearing what you said, I didn't know Nuannuan was inside, and I thought it was a bad guy, so I rushed in in a panic..."
Yan Chenyu was incredibly embarrassed at this moment. Although he had just come in and seen Chen Nanxing holding Nuannuan, and she had quickly pulled the blanket over herself, he still managed to see what was in front of Chen Nanxing...
