CHAPTER 403: CHAPTER 403

Yan City’s heavy snow lasted for two days.

During these two days, it was also torturous for Jiang Weiwei.

Because she found out that Suchen had been out of life-threatening danger and transferred to a high-level ICU.

But since Jiang Weiwei hadn’t seen Suchen’s condition with her own eyes, she was still a bit uneasy.

So, when the snow stopped, she bought some fresh flowers and went to the hospital, under the pretext of visiting Suchen.

However, what Jiang Weiwei hadn’t anticipated was Uncle Lai De’s strong aversion towards her.

The moment he saw her, Uncle Lai De blocked her at the door of the sickroom and coldly questioned her, "What are you doing here?"

"Uncle Lai De, I’m here to visit Aunt Suchen. When my mother hit me and kicked me out of the house, it was Aunt Suchen who kindly took me in! In my heart, Aunt Suchen is as important as my own mother."

"I heard she was in a car accident, and I just couldn’t believe it. Please let me see her, won’t you? I’m really worried about her!"

Jiang Weiwei cried tearfully, looking pitiful.

Uncle Lai De, annoyed by the noise, simply responded, "She’s still in a coma, seeing her won’t change anything."

Jiang Weiwei, slightly reassured by the information from Uncle Lai De’s mouth, then asked concernedly about the progress of the case.

"Uncle Lai De, has the criminal who injured Aunt Suchen been caught yet?"

Uncle Lai De, rubbing his forehead, said wearily, "No. The police have reviewed all the surveillance but still haven’t found any traces of Suchen and the car at the time of the accident. The police suspect that the robbery and assault on Suchen could have been committed by a top-tier hacker."

Upon hearing the term "top-tier hacker," Jiang Weiwei suddenly had an idea.

"Uncle Lai De, have you heard that Moxi has suddenly disappeared over these past two days?"

"Xixi? What happened to her?"

The moment Moxi was mentioned, Uncle Lai De’s tone became noticeably more concerned.

This made Jiang Weiwei even more jealous and more determined to shift the suspicion of the police and Uncle Lai De onto Moxi.

"Moxi has been missing since she left the wedding. I heard that Third Master Fu turned the whole of Yan City upside down but hasn’t found her!"

"That’s because Xixi is intentionally hiding! It serves the Fu surname right. Who asked him to leave Xixi alone at the wedding?"

With a few words, Uncle Lai De still spoke favorably of Jiang Moxi.

So, Jiang Weiwei took her chance and blurted out, "But you definitely haven’t heard that Moxi was recommended to the National Security Department before, and her hacking skills are said to be even better than those of the National Security Department!"

Uncle Lai De’s expression darkened: "What are you implying?"

Jiang Weiwei thought her fabrications had successfully caught Uncle Lai De’s attention towards Jiang Moxi and was secretly pleased, so she continued to fabricate.

"What I mean is, could it be that Moxi did something terrible to Aunt Suchen and then used her hacking skills to delete..."

But she was cut off halfway through by Uncle Lai De’s cold interjection.

"Nonsense! Keep your mouth shut!"

However, Jiang Weiwei did not miss this rare opportunity to make Uncle Lai De suspicious and dislike Jiang Moxi.

"Uncle Lai De, I’m not lying! If you don’t believe me, you can investigate. Moxi was indeed recommended to the National Security Department before. Moreover, her sudden disappearance, don’t you think it’s all too coincidental?"

As long as she could successfully convince Uncle Lai De to focus his suspicions on Jiang Moxi,

With THE ONE Group’s financial resources and influence, framing Jiang Moxi would be easy.

At the very least, even if it wasn’t possible to get rid of Jiang Moxi directly, it could still cause a rift between Jiang Moxi and Uncle Lai De.

Even if Uncle Lai De later discovered that Jiang Moxi was his and Suchen’s blood relative and wanted to bring Jiang Moxi back home, Jiang Moxi would feel awkward about it.

If Jiang Moxi refused to recognize Uncle Lai De and Suchen because of this, it would be even better.

But what Jiang Weiwei didn’t expect was that she had only spoken halfway before Uncle Lai De angrily retorted:

"What exactly are your intentions asking me to suspect Xixi?"

Lai De’s gaze was as cold and sharp as a blade, making Jiang Weiwei feel as if he had seen through her ill intentions.

Jiang Weiwei was somewhat flustered for a moment and quickly lowered her eyes to hide her panic.

"I just think that Moxi happens to have hacking skills and disappeared at this particular time, which is really worth pondering over. I don’t want you to miss something important by looking at Moxi through a filter."

"You don’t have the right to judge Xixi! Moreover, if Xixi wanted anything from me and Aunt Suchen, she wouldn’t even need to ask. We would have given it to her directly, and she wouldn’t need to harm Aunt Suchen."

After reprimanding her, Jiang Weiwei still wanted to argue.

But before she could even start speaking, Lai De gestured for the bodyguards to come forward.

"Throw her out!"

The bodyguard quickly obeyed, dragging Jiang Weiwei outside!

After the bodyguard threw Jiang Weiwei out, Lai De slightly narrowed his eyes in thought, remembering that the police had mentioned that she was the last known person to have been in contact with Aunt Suchen.

Although Jiang Weiwei had thoroughly separated herself from the incident with Aunt Suchen, she has not yet cleared herself of suspicion in the eyes of the police and Lai De.

Furthermore, the fact that Jiang Weiwei began guiding them to suspect Jiang Moxi before clearing her own suspicion made her more suspicious.

Thinking of this, Lai De instructed the guards at the door: "Add two more people here, take turns guarding my wife’s sickroom! That woman has malicious intent, don’t let her anywhere near my wife’s sickroom!"

*

Meanwhile, Fu Youhan wasn’t able to find Jing Yan’s whereabouts and shifted his focus to Feng Ming, who Jiang Moxi had claimed was her brother.

The results of tracking Feng Ming revealed that his previous hospital records and data had disappeared.

The investigation once again hit a deadlock, and Fu Youhan could only stare helplessly at the name "Feng Ming" on the documents.

Ye Chen, carrying two bottles of liquor, arrived at Fu Youhan’s apartment.

Upon entering, Ye Chen saw the man unshaven, with hollow eyes, and his shirt crumpled.

Additionally, Fu Youhan was holding a lit cigarette between his fingers.

The smoke enveloped the entire room, and the ashtray in front of him was piled high like a small mountain.

Ye Chen covered his nose as he entered, opened a window, and fanned around to clear the air before muttering,

"Chi Jing said you haven’t slept for days and nights, fearing you’d die without anyone knowing, so he sent me to find you. But I think you won’t die from lack of sleep, instead you might suffocate from your own cigarettes."

"Before you talk about me, go take a piss and look in the mirror," Fu Youhan coldly retorted, but his gaze was still fixed on the name "Feng Ming."

Ye Chen looked at his own reflection in the window, also unshaven and with hollow eyes, indeed no better than Fu Youhan, and had no right to tease him.

So, he sat opposite Fu Youhan, uncorked a bottle of whiskey, and took a swig.

After the sharp liquor diluted the bitterness in his mouth, he finally spoke, "I’m going to Emperor City tomorrow."

"Did you find Yu Dingding?" Fu Youhan asked.

Ye Chen smirked coldly: "No. If Xiao Moxi is the Dead Ghost, do you think I could easily find someone she’s hidden?"

Fu Youhan asked, "Then what are you doing in Emperor City?"

"Of course... to avenge her!" Ye Chen smirked coldly, the sinister curve of his lips chilling.

Fu Youhan nodded. He had heard about Yu Dingding’s past ordeal from Ye Chen, and he strongly agreed with Ye Chen’s decision to seek revenge for Yu Dingding.

Because if it were Jiang Moxi who had been manipulated like that, Fu Youhan believed he wouldn’t just simply retaliate in kind but would probably mutilate the perpetrator utterly.

As their conversation reached this point, Fu Youhan looked at the investigation report with the name "Feng Ming" and suddenly thought of something.

He asked Ye Chen, "Do you remember the name of the former head of the Emperor City Feng Family, Feng Yu?"

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and replied, "Feng Ming!"

Then the two men seemed to realize something at the same time and stared intensely at each other!
