The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1305 - 665: Mo Han and Wanwan Arc – His Good Brother Lu Jingchen

We clearly agreed that he would tell me after dinner, but now that dinner is over, he just carried me up to the second floor and said he’d tell me tomorrow.

Ning Wan couldn’t help but begin to suspect, could it be that Xi Mohan was lying to her?

But she couldn’t find a reason for Xi Mohan to lie to her—what would be the point?

Upon hearing Ning Wan’s words, the man who was about to leave suddenly stopped in his tracks, then turned around, his gaze falling on Ning Wan. His thin lips pressed lightly together, revealing his displeasure.

Lied to her?

He didn’t have the time or energy to lie to her.

Besides, there was nothing to gain from lying to her; it wouldn’t benefit him in the slightest. She thought it was entirely unnecessary.

Seeing the man’s face turn dark instantly, Ning Wan inexplicably felt a pang of fear towards him. She instinctively gulped and shrank back a little.

Her reaction naturally didn’t escape the man’s eyes. His deep gaze darkened, and after a long pause, he finally spoke, "Do you think I have anything to gain from lying to you? Look at you; apart from having a pretty face, you have no figure, and you’re not smart either. What could I possibly gain from lying to you?"

Ning Wan was momentarily stunned by his words, and then her face turned red and white with emotion. She looked at the man in front of her, feeling a mix of anger and grievance inside.

This man was really not likable at all. He could actually say something like that to a girl, making her want to punch him at any moment.

Biting her lip, Ning Wan directed her gaze at him and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "You can leave now. I need to rest."

Since she couldn’t leave, and since he said he would tell her tomorrow, she decided to just wait here until tomorrow.

After giving her a deep look, Xi Mohan turned and left without saying anything. However, when he reached the door, he stopped, turned around, and looked at Ning Wan, who was sitting on the bed staring at her fingers. He spoke flatly, "I already called your grandfather. He knows you’re here with me. Also, your foot is injured, so it can’t get wet. If bathing is inconvenient, you can call the maid to help, or just skip it."

Ning Wan was taken aback and looked up at him, but Xi Mohan had already stepped out of the room, even closing the door behind him.

Left in a room full of silence, Ning Wan sat by the bed, still gazing towards the door, unable to retract her gaze. Xi Mohan’s voice seemed to still echo in her ears.

There was a chaotic feeling in her heart. Everything Xi Mohan did these days was incomprehensible to her, leaving her completely at a loss as to what he intended to do.

Clearly, he used to dislike her, even finding her repugnant. But everything he did today made her feel as if she were in a dream—hoping that when she awoke, her parents would still be alive, and Xi Mohan would still hate her...

...

After leaving the guest room, Xi Mohan went straight to the study.

Shortly after entering the study, someone knocked on the door from outside. Sitting at the desk, he didn’t move, simply replied curtly, "Come in."

The door opened, and a man in a black suit walked in, stopping in front of Xi Mohan, "President."

Xi Mohan replied with a faint hum, "How is the investigation going?"

"The surveillance cameras on the road where the incident happened were broken, so there’s no video. We don’t know exactly what happened at that time, and there were no eyewitnesses. The accident was discovered half an hour later by a passing vehicle," the man reported truthfully. "The car Ning’s president and his wife were in has been checked by the relevant authorities, and the results showed that the brake failure caused them to crash into the barrier, resulting in their immediate deaths."

Upon hearing this, Xi Mohan’s brows furrowed deeply; after a long pause, he said, "Continue."

The man continued, "We’ve discovered that from the time Ning’s president and his wife left the Ning Group, a black car without a license plate followed them..."

Xi Mohan immediately grasped the situation upon hearing this.

His eyes grew even darker, an air of silence filling the study. Even the man standing across from Xi Mohan remained silent, waiting for his instructions.

After a long pause, Xi Mohan looked up at the man in front of him and instructed, "Arrange for someone to investigate tonight. Start by looking into Ning Yan’er’s father; he can’t be uninvolved in this matter."

The man promptly acknowledged and indicated he understood.

Xi Mohan gestured for him to leave, and without lingering, the man quickly turned and left the study.

When only Xi Mohan remained in the room, he, who initially sat motionless, suddenly got up and swiftly exited the study.

...

Half an hour later, in a high-end bar in An City, Xi Mohan stopped in front of a private room, checked his phone for the time, and then pushed open the door.

Unlike other rooms blasting loud music, this room buzzed with conversation and the sounds of card games.

"Why are you only here now? You’re ten minutes late," someone noticed him first and said, full of disdain.

Other people in the room quickly noticed his arrival as well, greeting him collectively, "Mohan, you’re here. We thought you weren’t coming tonight."

"Hey, Mo Han, nice to see you."

"Mo Han, long time no see."

"..."

Xi Mohan greeted them one by one, making his way toward the person who spoke first. As he approached, he saw a handsome man, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, seated there with a gentle smile on his face, holding a glass of vodka with ice.

This man was none other than his good friend Lu Jingchen.

Lu Jingchen was born in the same year as him and was only three months older. They grew up together, almost like brothers, doing everything from fishing in streams, climbing trees to get bird nests, even throwing lit firecrackers into the neighbors’ yards, nearly causing them to call the police—they had done it all together.
