In the study room of the Li Family’s villa.

When Li Nanchen turned around, he saw Wu Mei, who was rubbing her eyes, enter the study room and dazedly walk towards him.

He hugged Wu Mei and asked gently, “Did I wake you up?”

Wu Mei snorted and said in a hoarse voice, “You were the one who took my phone away. It’s so late. Who called?”

Li Nanchen said, “K.”

Who?

Wu Mei looked up in shock. “It’s already the latter half of the night. Could he have… caught someone?”

She immediately sobered up, eager to know what had happened.

The outcome was disappointing.

Li Nanchen flung the phone onto the sofa and gently coaxed Wu Mei, “Go back to the room. We’ll talk tomorrow.”

Wu Mei did not manage to catch her phone in time and Li Nanchen carried her towards the room.

She said in a low, accusatory tone, “Put me down quickly. Business is more important.”

Li Nanchen refused to let her go. He murmured, “If you don’t want to sleep, we can do something else.”

Someone knocked on the study room’s door.

Who woke up?

Just as they were wondering, they heard Mother Wu coughing.

Wu Mei struggled to get out of Li Nanchen’s embrace. She neatened her pajamas.

Li Nanchen opened the study room door first. “Auntie, what’s the matter?”

When Mother Wu saw Li Nanchen, she was especially surprised. She saw Wu Mei enter the study room and wanted to come over, but she had not expected Wu Mei to have come to look for Li Nanchen.

“Mom! Why aren’t you sleeping? I’ll send you back to your room.” Wu Mei walked out from behind Li Nanchen and casually linked her arm with Mother Wu’s.

Mother Wu glanced at Li Nanchen apologetically before returning to her room with Wu Mei.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to disturb you. I just wanted to say that we should bring more people when we go to the company tomorrow.” She was really worried that Wu Pang’s matter would implicate the Wu Corporation.

However, she also did not expect that Wu Mei and Li Nanchen would still be in the study room in such high spirits.

Wu Mei pretended to be calm and explained to Mother Wu, “Mom, don’t misunderstand. Nanchen and I were discussing serious matters. Things are going well.”

It was indeed going quite smoothly.

Just that someone died in an explosion.

Wu Mei admired the mastermind behind this. She thought that that person was someone who could do great things. However, she did not intend to say it out loud. She was afraid that she would scare Mother Wu.

Mother Wu nodded lightly and urged Wu Mei, “Quick, go back and rest.”

Wu Mei only left the room after seeing her mother lie down on the bed.

The moment she closed the door, Li Nanchen hugged her.

She couldn’t help but yawn. “No, I have to get up early tomorrow. I’m too tired.”

Li Nanchen used the tip of his nose to nuzzle her cheek. “Don’t worry, it’s too late. Let’s go back to our room first.”

After they returned to their room, they really covered themselves with their blanket and went to sleep.

However, the sun rose too quickly.

Wu Mei patted her face and forced herself to sober up. She was about to head downstairs for breakfast when she received K’s message.

K found out that the boy, who had been disguised as a waitress, had been staying overseas and came back alone. The moment he came back, he headed out to monitor Li Nanchen and Wu Mei.

This boy’s origins were a mystery. At the same time, he was someone who could be easily abandoned. His death was destined to not stir up too much trouble.

Wu Mei replied with an “okay” and put her hand down.

“I’m here.” Li Nanchen walked behind Wu Mei and gently kissed her face. He realized that she was staring blankly at her phone.

He narrowed his eyes. “It can’t be K, right?”

Wu Mei came back to her senses and reached out to grab his collar before kissing him back.

“Ahem, be more mindful, you guys. There are elders in the house,” Bi Fang said gloomily. He woke up early in the morning and had to witness such an indecent scene. He couldn’t take it anymore.

Li Nanchen raised his head to look at him and chased him away. “Doctor Bi likes freedom. If he doesn’t want to see it, he can move out.”

Bi Fang’s eyes were filled with grievance, as if he had been bullied.

Someone walked over.

Thinking that it was Mother Wu, he turned around and shouted, “Auntie, President Li is bullying me.”

Was Bi Fang complaining to Mother Wu?

However, it was the maid who had come over with the fruit.

Li Nanchen sneered and said, “Auntie hasn’t come downstairs yet.”

Bi Fang sat down and snorted, “Forget it, I’ll let you off.”

Li Nanchen could not be bothered to argue with him.

Wu Mei helped Li Nanchen adjust his collar. “K only told me that he found out that the kid had just arrived in China and didn’t have any relatives.”

Li Nanchen’s expression darkened. “Foreigner?”

Bi Fang picked up a piece of bread and said, “I remember Ms Mo Li. Isn’t she from overseas too? I think there are two new supervisors in your company who are from overseas too.”

What a coincidence.

“How do you know all these? Did you investigate the Wu Corporation?” Wu Mei didn’t understand.

Bi Fang shook his head and said, “I was going to wait for you guys to come back to tell you. I noticed that some illegal drugs were traded through underhanded means. The person who facilitated this transaction was the new supervisor of the Wu Corporation.”

Illegal drugs entering the borders?

Li Nanchen asked angrily, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? Can you find out the transaction location?”

Bi Fang realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately replied, “Yes!”
