?Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Then I might just cripple you on the spot!   Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Then I might just cripple you on the spot!                                   Linda turned around and jumped in fright, for right behind her stood Mo Chen, his expression icy cold.


    “Mo… Master Mo, you’ve returned.”


    Mo Chen looked at Linda for a few seconds, his voice deep and stern, “Who are you?”


    “I am the new nutritionist, Mrs. Mo specifically asked me toe and take care of Miss Qiao’s diet during her pregnancy.” Linda thought she maintained herposure, but feeling the gaze of the notoriously vtile Master Mo, she was still somewhat nervous.


    The man’s indifferent eyes showed not a trace of emotion.


    He took out his phone and dialed his mother’s number; after three rings, it connected.


    “Mom, did you hire another nutritionist?”


    “…”


    “Hmm, got it.” His attitude remained cold, and he hung up the phone after a few brief words.


    Linda stood there, her heart pounding, and with her head lowered, she dared not meet Mo Chen’s gaze.


    Mo Chen didn’t even nce at her, walking to the elevator and pressing the up button.


    Linda let out a sigh of relief and hurried away with the tray of milk in hand. This time she had failed, but she would find another opportunity next time.


    …


    Back in his bedroom, Mo Chen noticed Little Ghost was not there, then he stepped out onto the terrace and, sure enough, there she was.


    His phone began to vibrate again.


    As he put the phone to his ear, he walked towards Qiao Ruoxin’s back.


    Qiao Ruoxin stood before the railing, gazing down at the serene and beautiful night view of the entire estate, the air filled with a light fragrance of flowers, refreshing to the soul.


    The man reached her side and wrapped his long arm around her waist. She stiffened slightly, and on looking up, she realized Mo Chen had returned.


    Mo Chen’s hand caressed her waist as he spoke into the phone, “Who’s this?”


    Li Yi’s voice came through from the other end, “Mo Chen! I’m giving you until noon tomorrow toe and bow down in apology with your woman or I’m not letting this go!”


    Mo Chen’s brows knitted into a scowl, and he let out a sneer of contempt, “You sure you want me toe to the hospital? Because I might just cripple you on the spot!”


    Without giving the other person a chance to speak, he hung up the call.


    Qiao Ruoxin looked up at him, “Was that Li Yi calling?”


    He embraced her soft body and lowered his head to rest his chin on her shoulder, his voicezy, “Hmm…”


    “What does he want?”


    “Nothing. Did you go out tonight?”


    “Hmm, I was helping a friend with an introduction.”


    The man stroked her head, “You got back right on time. Had you been anyter, I might have had to go and fetch someone myself.”


    She chuckled lightly, “That’s why I came back on the dot.”


    …


    Meanwhile, in the VIP ward of the hospital.


    Li Yiy on the hospital bed motionless, hurling his phone violently to the ground, his teeth clenched in a snarl, “Bitch! Almost wrecked me, yet you’re still unscathed! Do you think hiding behind the Mo Family will protect you?”


    Qiao Ruoxin’s kick had really hurt; Li Yi hadn’t moved all night, and the doctors said had he arrived anyter, he might have truly been crippled.


    Suddenly remembering something, Li Yi picked up the phone from beneath the bed and made a call, “Hey, while Mo Chen hasn’t discovered the truth yet, quickly bribe all the marketing ounts and buy a bunch of inte trolls to shift public opinion towards Mo Chen’s side. With this case, even if he brought in a famous detective from Mars, he won’t find any evidence. It’s been over a decade; what’s there to find? Let Mo Chen take the fall for this!”


    After hanging up the phone, Li Yi finallyughed, “Mo Chen, oh Mo Chen, you little brat, always against me since you were a kid. You think you’re something special? What’s wrong with carrying the can for your brothers? Pah!”


    Li Yi had disliked Mo Chen since they were young: arrogant, rude, and dismissive of everyone. But the brat was blessed with good looks, and all the women fell over themselves to get to Mo Chen.


    He had always been in overt and covertpetition with Mo Chen. After they had an outright falling out, they had no more contact.


    Ten years ago, indeed, Li Yi and his brothers had driven that girl to her death. Afterwards, however, they deliberately framed and incriminated Mo Chen, spreading this rumor within the circle.


    After all, the Mo Family was vast and influential domestically.


    Even if it were known that Mo Chen did it, nobody would dare to say a word, making Mo Chen the perfect scapegoat for Li Yi to pick.


    Li Yi opened his cellphone and searched for live discussions on Weibo. All were cursing Mo Chen for his decent facade but heartless deeds.


    Watching, Li Yiughed loudly, “Little brat, it’s been over ten years and you still can’t find a damn piece of evidence. Carry this burden well, huh!”


    …


    Inside the vi.


    Guided by an address sent from her female secretary, Lu Feifei arrived here.


    After finishing a cup of tea on the living room sofa, she finally met with Lawrence.


    “Hello, Mr. Lawrence, I am Lu Feifei.” Lu Feifei stood up and took the initiative to introduce herself.


    Lawrence gestured, “Please sit, Miss Lu, no need for formalities.”


    “May I ask what matter Mr. Lawrence has with me?”


    Her curiosity piqued, could it be about coborating with the Lu Family? But if that were the case, they should have approached her father directly.


    Lawrence began, “I’ve heard your sister was engaged to Mo Chen.”


    “That was arranged by my father and Uncle Mo when we were children, but Mo Chen is not really interested in my sister.”


    Lawrence continued, “I can help you break up Qiao Ruoxin and Mo Chen. However, your sister and Mo Chen really don’t suit each other. I think you and Mo Chen would be quitepatible.”


    Lu Feifei found it rather absurd andughed, “Me? How am Ipatible with Mo Chen?”


    “You need Mo Chen. You want him to help you fight for a share of the inheritance in the future, right? Wouldn’t it be more reasonable if Mo Chen were your husband?”


    Suddenly, Lu Feifei had an idea, “Are you doing this because Simon pursued Qiao Ruoxin unsessfully, and now you’re deliberately breaking them up for your son’s revenge?”


    The thought seemed rational, but could it be an overreaction? Would Lawrence really meddle in the romantic entanglements of the younger generation?


    Lawrence scrutinized Lu Feifei across from him. He had already done his research: the sister was worthless, and one couldn’t rely on her for anything. It was this elder sister, Lu Feifei, whose intelligence was notable.


    Just then, a phone rang.


    Lawrence answered the call, “Linda, what’s up? Did Ruoxin drink the milk?”


    “Mr. Lawrence, it seems that Miss Qiao is wary of me. She doesn’t take my advice and didn’t drink the milk.”


    “No worries, you’ve just arrived; take your time.”


    “I’m sorry, Mr. Lawrence, I’ve let you down.”


    “If it was that easy, I wouldn’t have needed you to infiltrate the Mo Family. You’ll find an opportunity eventually.”


    After hanging up the phone, Lawrence looked at Lu Feifei across from him, “So, what do you say? Shall we coborate?”


    Having overheard the conversation, Lu Feifei couldn’t help asking, “You’ve infiltrated someone into the Mo Family to kill Qiao Ruoxin’s child?”


    “Exactly.”


    “Mr. Lawrence, isn’t that too cruel just to take revenge for your own son? Besides, your son Simon doesn’t really seem to have lost anything, has he?”


    Lu Feifei felt that there was more to it than meets the eye. There must be some secret between Qiao Ruoxin and this Lawrence, otherwise why would he go to such lengths to kill her child?


    Lawrence stated, “You don’t need to worry about the reasons, Miss Lu. You just have to decide whether to work with me or not. We each have our own needs.”
