Chapter 183 Investigating the Missing Letter
Lin Cheng said, "Yes, and then you interrupted me. You said you wanted the young mistress to believe you and so on. I was only focused on stopping you at the time and didn't think much about it. Now that I think about it, could this letter... have some other meaning? Oh dear, back when you left Peony Residence, the young mistress didn't write you a letter, did she?!"
Murong Ting didn't speak, but his mind was racing, following Lin Cheng's train of thought.
Did Wanwan really write a letter to him back then?
And the letter must have contained very important information?
The more he thought about it, the faster his heart beat.
His intuition told him that this possibility was very high!
He took a deep breath and turned to Lin Cheng, saying, "If Wanwan wrote me a letter but I didn't receive it, it can only mean that the letter was intercepted."
Lin Cheng was stunned: "Who's so mean as to intercept someone else's email?"
Murong Ting's gaze was deep, and his narrow eyes narrowed slightly: "Human hearts are unpredictable. Although I don't know their purpose yet, it is very likely that the person who drugged me is the same one."
After he finished speaking, he decisively instructed Lin Cheng: "Give the order to investigate all the outsiders who went to Jinzhen six years ago, and pay special attention to those who came from Jiangcheng or Kyoto."
Lin Cheng knew the importance of this matter, and with a slight stiffness, said, "I'll take care of it right away."
Murong Ting nodded: "This matter should be handled discreetly, and we should try our best not to let anyone notice."
"Okay." Lin Cheng replied, then hesitated for a moment, "Speaking of which, Young Master Ting, why don't you go and talk to the young mistress about this? If there really is a misunderstanding, maybe she will forgive you after we talk it out."
Murong Ting pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Right now, my credibility in Wanwan's eyes is zero. If we rashly go and talk to her, she will most likely think I'm making excuses. Let's do our own investigation first, and we'll have a higher chance of success if we go and talk to her after we find evidence."
Lin Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll have someone investigate first. If someone is really behind this, then we'll get solid evidence, and then you can go see the young mistress."
"Um."
"Young Master Ting, about the DNA test between you and Miss Kong Ran..."
Murong Ting pondered for a moment: "Go check on the letter first. Put the DNA test aside for now. There will be plenty of opportunities later. Wanwan is already troubled enough. There's no need to upset her at this critical juncture. Let's help her resolve the Kong family's matter first."
"Yes, Young Master Ting."
Lin Cheng turned and left, while Murong Ting strolled alone to the study.
All the way, he kept thinking about who might have been the person who drugged him and stole the letter back then.
Because of this incident, he and Wanwan misunderstood each other for six whole years.
If he hadn't gradually discovered clues during his interactions with Kong Wange, would they have missed out on even more?
Thinking of this, his eyes turned fierce.
No matter who it is, once they find out, they will definitely pay a price they cannot bear!
Inside the master bedroom.
The three children followed Kong Wange back to her room. Just as they climbed into bed, Kong Wange's phone rang.
She glanced at it; it was a call from Kong Zhizhao.
"Babies, you go to sleep first, Mommy's going to take this call."
The three little ones nodded obediently.
Kong Wange then walked to the balcony connected to the adjacent bedroom.
"What is it now?" Her voice was as cold as ever when she answered the phone.
Kong Wange was furious: "Kong Wange, are you kidding me?!"
The sound was quite loud, and it could be faintly heard into the bedroom through the receiver.
The balcony and bedroom were very close together. She glanced at the children inside and frowned: "How did I play with you?"
"You still won't admit it? You're the one who made Murong Ting stop all the deals with the company and the Kong family, aren't you? How could I, Kong Zhizhao, have such a heartless daughter like you!"
Kong Wange frowned even more deeply: "I don't understand a single word you're saying. I didn't ask Murong Ting to do anything."
"Nonsense, would he do this if you didn't talk to him? Kong Wange, you're really something, saying one thing to your dad's face and another behind his back, stabbing him without any mercy! I think you don't want what your mom left behind. Fine, I'll take care of it later!"
Kong Wange frowned and said coldly, "Kong Zhizhao, I've already said that the order has nothing to do with me. It's no use for you to argue with me like this. I'm already raising 300 million. If you dare to touch my mother's things, we'll fight to the death. You won't get a single penny of this money."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by Kong Zhizhao's deep, sinister voice: "How can I trust you?"
Kong Wange sneered: "If you don't believe me, do you have any other options?"
Kong Zhizhao fell silent.
After a moment, he said, "Okay, then I'll trust you one more time. However, I can't wait that long. At most, the money needs to be in my account in three days!"
Kong Wange frowned: "Three days is too short."
"I don't care!" Kong Zhizhao shouted like a cornered beast: "Just three days. If you don't pay me, you'll never get your mother's things again!"
After saying that, he slammed down the phone.
Kong Wange felt a splitting headache as she listened to the "beep beep" sound.
She cursed Murong Ting three thousand times in her heart for interfering in her affairs.
But the man's actions clearly showed that he was standing up for her, so she couldn't be too critical. As a result, she only had three days left, and she had to think of a way to get her mother's belongings back as soon as possible.
Inside the bedroom, the three little ones hid behind a large vase on the balcony and overheard Kong Wange's phone call clearly.
Seeing that the call was coming to an end, the three little ones quickly and secretly ran back to bed.
Kong Ran couldn't help but whisper, "From what Mommy said, it seems like Mommy was threatened by that heartless grandfather?"
"Yes, and it seems like Daddy is the one pushing in the opposite direction. By the way, Brother Chi and Sister Ran, don't you guys think that Daddy's reaction to Mommy after he came back is a bit strange?" Murong Chen whispered.
"It's more than just weird. Didn't you hear what Daddy called Mommy in the yard just now? Wanwan! What an cheesy way to address someone, and he said it so naturally." Kong Ran shuddered as he spoke.
"Yeah, it feels like Daddy's trip to the countryside has turned him into a golden man. He even knows how to stand up for Mommy."
Although it didn't quite hit the mark, at least the intention was good.
This is already quite unbelievable!
Kong Chi stroked his little chin: "Do you think... Daddy might recognize Mommy?"
“Hey, if you want to know, why don’t we just go ask him! Judging from Daddy’s expression, he definitely wants to pursue Mommy. We have such important information, why don’t we go and help him?” Murong Chen said matter-of-factly.
Kong Chi nodded: "Xiao Chen is right. Let's go find Daddy!"
When Kong Wange returned, she saw the three little ones jump off the bed.
She was slightly taken aback: "Why aren't you sleeping? Did Mommy wake you up?"
Murong Chen quickly shook his head: "No, no, Mommy, you should rest. The three of us couldn't fall asleep after lying down for a while, so we're going to take a walk in the yard."
Kong Chi and Kong Ran nodded in agreement.
Kong Wange said helplessly, "Alright then, the midday sun is too strong, don't play for too long."
"Okay!" The three little ones then ran out of the room.
In the study, Murong Ting was standing by the bed.
The smoke from the incense sticks held between his fingers rose slowly, making his strong features appear hazy and indistinct.
Just then, there was a knock on the study door, followed by the sound of clattering footsteps.
"Daddy!"
