Chapter 125: A Plan to Lock Daddy and Mommy Together
Lin Cheng was stunned: "What did you say? Young Master Ting told you to keep an eye on me?"
Chu Ning whispered, "That's right. You think you went out and messed around with some woman, got blackmailed, and then stole company money to settle things? Oh dear, you're so foolish. I know you and Young Master Ting are close, but we can't do these illegal things. It puts me in such a difficult position!"
Lin Cheng: "...Alright, stop daydreaming and shut up. I'm crazy enough to steal company money."
"What does Young Master Ting mean by giving me this task?"
"Maybe it's because I've been too outstanding lately, helping Ting Shao with a lot of things. He's curious about why I've improved so quickly, so he asked you to secretly follow me and learn from me."
Chu Ning was a little confused, feeling that something was off: "Ah, is that so? It's just a simple question, boss, you wouldn't teach me, would you?"
Lin Cheng glanced around to make sure no one was there, then muttered to himself, "Let me tell you, that's how people in power are. They keep guessing, they're probably just afraid I'll keep something to myself. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Chu Ning thought for a moment: "You can't be sure what's going on in someone's heart."
"Hey, you brat, you're so cheeky, aren't you? Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm hanging up now. I'm telling you, don't keep an eye on me, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!" Lin Cheng said, then slammed the phone down.
After putting his phone away, he turned and went to find Murong Chen.
Kong Wange began preparing medicinal food ingredients for the old man.
Murong Chen was bored and feeding the goldfish in the yard when he turned around and saw Lin Cheng rushing over with a dejected look, shaking his little arm: "Young Master, it's all over!"
Murong Chen: "...Uncle Lin Cheng, let go of my hand, let's talk this out."
Lin Cheng coughed lightly, stood up straight, and whispered, "Young Master, Young Master Ting suspects me."
Murong Chen was stunned: "Ah, why does Daddy suspect you?"
"Waaaaah, it must be because I'm too biased towards you and the young mistress. He thinks I'm not clean anymore..."
Murong Chen: "Ahem, Uncle Lin Cheng, calm down. Are you sure Daddy thinks you've switched sides?"
"That's right, otherwise why would he have Chu Ning keep an eye on me?"
Murong Chen stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Anyway, Daddy only suspects, and there's no solid evidence. What's there to be afraid of? Daddy's suspicions aren't necessarily a bad thing. We can take advantage of Daddy's suspicions."
Lin Cheng paused: "What do you mean?"
Murong Chen's small eyes gleamed as he pulled Lin Cheng down to bend over and whispered in his ear, "Now that Mommy has been hired, it's time for us to move on to the next step of our plan. I just saw Mommy looking for medicinal herbs in the storage room on the west side..."
After rambling on for a while, Lin Cheng regained his composure: "Young Master, that was a brilliant move!"
Murong Chen, with a smug look on his face, said, "Uncle Lin Cheng, let's move!"
Lin Cheng gave him an OK sign, then turned and ran away.
In the study, the window next to Murong Ting's desk was open.
Lin Cheng saw his tall figure from a distance and immediately took a deep breath to encourage himself.
He then picked up the phone and walked past the window as if casually.
As he walked, he deliberately spoke in a low voice, but his voice was just loud enough for Murong Ting to hear.
"Oh, young master, what can't you say over the phone? You have to go to the storage room in the west to say it in person. If Young Master Ting finds out, he'll break my legs!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Murong Ting in the study out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing him pause in writing, she immediately put on an even more convincing act: "Oh, you're afraid I'll record your phone call? You're being too cautious! Oh, okay, okay, I got it, I'm coming right now!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone and turned to head towards the storage room on the west side.
He ran very fast, but before he reached the storage room, he hid behind a rockery not far from the courtyard.
A short while later, he indeed saw Murong Ting come out of the study, cross the corridor, and hurry towards the storage room.
He was thrilled and sent a message to Murong Chen: "Young Master, it's all done, Young Master Ting is off!"
Murong Chen quickly replied, "Great! Mommy is still getting the medicinal herbs from the storage room, the timing is perfect!"
Murong Ting was unaware of the problem.
As he walked toward the storage room, he cursed inwardly. Lin Cheng was definitely up to something. He wanted to see what secrets he and his son had.
The storage room on the west side of the old house was mainly used to store some daily necessities and sealed medicinal herbs. It was a small place and rarely visited.
Murong Ting made his way to the storage room and, sure enough, heard rustling sounds coming from inside.
He paused, lowered his voice, and moved closer to the door.
I quietly peered through the door and listened for a long time, but I didn't hear a sound.
This made him even more curious about what his son and Lin Cheng were doing inside.
Seeing that the door was ajar, he turned the handle and quietly went inside.
The storage room contained several large boxes, and the sound was coming from behind a few boxes on the left.
He crept closer, about to peek inside, when he saw a person stand up from behind the box, turn around and see him. Startled, the person cried out and took two steps back.
Murong Ting was stunned when he saw who it was: "Kong Wange?"
Kong Wange patted her wildly beating heart and said irritably, "Are you doing something like a thief, walking around without making a sound?"
Murong Ting frowned: "What are you doing here?"
Kong Wange rolled her eyes: "Get medicinal herbs and make medicinal cuisine? What, you've changed your mind and are coming to fire me?"
Murong Ting belatedly realized what was happening, turned around and ran towards the door.
Before he could even reach the door, he heard a "click" and the door was locked.
Murong Ting: "..."
Kong Wange noticed his expression was off and realized what was going on: "What's going on? Is the door locked?"
Murong Ting's face turned ashen: "Hmm."
Kong Wange put down the medicinal herbs in her hand, walked over and pulled the door, and it was indeed locked.
She frowned and asked, "Who did this?"
If Murong Ting still doesn't realize he's been tricked by his obedient son and good assistant at this point, he's truly a fool.
He took a deep breath and rubbed the bridge of his nose: "It must be Xiao Chen and Lin Cheng; they led me here."
Kong Wange: "Has Lin Cheng gone mad?"
It's one thing for Xiao Chen to be young and mischievous, but Lin Cheng actually cooperated with him so much that he dared to plot against Murong Ting.
Murong Ting gritted his teeth and said, "No, he's not crazy, he's courting death."
"So what do we do now?"
“I called Uncle Xu and asked him to come and open the door.”
Kong Wange nodded: "Okay."
However, when Murong Ting touched his pants, he froze.
Seeing that he didn't move, Kong Wange asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Murong Ting, his face cold, uttered three words: "I was in such a hurry to leave that I forgot my phone."
Kong Wange: "...Use mine."
She took out her phone and was surprised to find that it had no signal!
A chill ran down her spine: "No way, who removed my SIM card?"
