In the living room, Ye Ningwan sat on a small single sofa, quietly gazing at Li Mochuan sitting opposite her.
Li Mochuan remained seated like a lord, holding his phone and sending a few messages to someone before tossing it aside and looking up at Ye Ningwan.
"Have you thought it through? How do you plan to resolve this?"
Ye Ningwan bit her lip, and finally spoke to Li Mochuan.
"I will not take Xiaoxing to the Municipal Bureau to testify tomorrow."
"After all, the Municipal Bureau is now surrounded by reporters, social media, and all sorts of troublemakers. As soon as Xiaoxing appears, he will be besieged by those cameras and microphones. This would be a disaster for a five-year-old child and could leave a huge shadow on his young mind."
Ye Ningwan said in a hoarse voice.
"Although I feel very sorry for Pei Fengzhi, my first priority will be to protect my child; it's a mother's instinct."
Li Mochuan nodded.
"Don't worry, that's what I meant too."
Ye Ningwan breathed a sigh of relief, and her attitude towards Li Mochuan finally improved.
Thank you for your understanding.
Li Mochuan chuckled softly.
"Has my perception of me changed a little? I'm not as bad as you think. Overall, I'm still a bad person with a bottom line."
Ye Ningwan glanced at Li Mochuan with an annoyance and said with a forced smile.
"The reason Pei Fengzhi is in this situation is mainly due to internal strife within the Pei family, and has nothing to do with Xiao Xingxing. However, it's strange that Pei Fengzhi's matter was suppressed for so many days and suddenly exposed tonight..."
At that moment, Li Mochuan's phone rang. He looked down, picked it up, and scrolled through the screen for a moment before chuckling.
"Your intuition is correct. My men have just found the information and sent it to you."
Ye Ningwan's phone vibrated and emitted a series of bubbly sounds.
Ye Ningwan looked down, picked up her phone which was lying to the side, and when she opened it, she found that a document had been sent to her by a WeChat friend whose contact name was Li Mochuan.
Ye Ningwan frowned and questioned Li Mochuan.
"When did you add me as a friend? I don't remember adding you."
Pei Fengzhi said with a smile.
"Just now, when we were very close."
Ye Ningwan didn't speak, but simply opened the document, which contained relevant information found by Li Mochuan's subordinates.
"As expected... it's the eldest branch of the Pei family... The person who reported the case is a programmer at a software company. This programmer is the nephew of the lover of the younger brother of one of Madam Pei's assistants. And Madam Pei also owns shares in this software company. Heh, the relationship is really far-reaching. You managed to find out all of this."
Li Mochuan said with a smile.
"You're too kind. It's all thanks to the capable people under my command."
Ye Ningwan didn't respond to him. She lowered her head and continued to look at her phone screen, muttering to herself in confusion.
"Although Madam Pei had sent someone to report the incident to the police, she did not bring in reporters to report it extensively. Instead, she sent people to suppress the matter. In other words, Madam Pei was well aware that Pei Fengzhi could be framed, but the Pei family's reputation could not be damaged, otherwise her own interests and those of her husband and son would also be harmed."
Li Mochuan touched his earlobe.
"But now Pei Fengzhi's affair has suddenly been exposed, and it's caused quite a stir. Doesn't this seem familiar?"
Ye Ningwan also laughed.
"Yes, I just saw them a few days ago. Some of the online trolls haven't even changed their usernames. The Ye family is really pathetic."
Ye Ningwan said this sarcastically, and then turned to Li Mochuan.
"It seems Chairman Ye is quite formidable. I wonder what she whispered in Madam Pei's ear that made her abandon all principles. Isn't she afraid that Old Master Pei will kill her if he finds out about this?"
Li Mochuan chuckled softly and said to Ye Ningwan.
"You probably won't be able to sleep tonight; the real show is yet to come."
As soon as Li Mochuan finished speaking, Ye Ningwan's phone vibrated and rang instantly.
Ye Ningwan picked up her phone and saw that it was an unknown number. Just as she was about to hang up, she heard Li Mochuan's voice stop her.
"I suggest you accept the answer."
Ye Ningwan looked at Li Mochuan's confident expression, as if he already knew who had made the call.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Ningwan decided to follow Li Mochuan's advice and answered the phone.
"Hello……"
A deep, resonant male voice entered Ye Ningwan's ears.
“Ninth Madam, I am Steward Wang.”
Butler Wang?
Ye Ningwan didn't realize who the other person was for a moment, until Butler Wang said something else.
"The old man instructed me to call you..."
Ye Ningwan finally remembered that Butler Wang was the butler of the Pei family's old residence and had always served Old Master Pei.
She asked immediately.
"Did Dad want to see me about something?"
A low, somewhat indistinct voice came from the other end of the phone.
Butler Wang paused for a moment, and then switched to Old Master Pei's aged yet gentle voice.
"Wanwan, are you asleep?"
Ye Ningwan was somewhat surprised that Old Master Pei was still awake at this hour and was calling her personally, indicating that the matter was very serious and urgent.
She had a rough idea of what was going on, but acted as if she knew nothing at all, and asked Old Master Pei.
"Not yet. I just saw the trending topic on Weibo and now I can't sleep. Is there anything you need, Dad?"
Upon hearing Ye Ningwan's words, Li Mochuan silently gave her a thumbs up.
