Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 790 - 707: The Person Behind the Scenes

Lately, because of this, Li Si has already been summoned twice, each time being either subtly questioned or directly interrogated about past events.

It left Li Si utterly frustrated, wishing she could give him a resounding slap across the face.

The news from Zhang Yao’s side isn’t optimistic either.

The police have been keeping a tight net around her, leaving no opportunity for those he sent to make contact.

If this continues, and someone with ulterior motives fans the flames, who knows what might end up getting uncovered.

By then, even they may find themselves being dragged into trouble.

Therefore, he sought out Long Wu to discuss a plan, waiting for Feng Yong’s next move to identify the person behind him, and then putting the plan into action.

Long Wu rubbed his chin and casually brought up, "Our Antique City will open in a little while. Do you think your Sisi can..."

Leng Mochen cut him off with a cold snort: "Don’t even think about it!"

He knew Long Wu’s intention wasn’t to harm Li Si but rather to capitalize on her extraordinary abilities, which, if utilized, could certainly amass wealth.

But how could he possibly put Li Si in the eye of the storm for such material gains?

Long Wu sighed and rubbed his nose in frustration, "See?! I knew you wouldn’t agree! I was just saying something casually, joking around!

Ugh! Honestly, having such obvious good fortune but not making use of it is such a waste—an outright squandering if you ask me!"

He clicked his tongue twice, his face filled with a mix of pity and regret.

Leng Mochen ignored him and instead brought up another matter:

"How did you deal with Wang Yi in the end?"

Upon investigation, it was confirmed that Wang Yi was the one who leaked the news about Li Si gambling on those two pieces of jade.

He had been secretly involved with Qi Yayun, which led Qi Yayun to learn of the matter and pass the information to the He Family.

Long Wu straightened up and coldly scoffed, "Do you think I would let him off lightly? I seized some of his product sources.

As for the man himself, of course, he had to accept his punishment. Oh, and that Qi Yayun you mentioned the other day—guess what? The two of them had the audacity to get cozy without closing the curtains, and my guys caught it all on tape."

As he spoke, he pulled a USB drive from his pocket and grinned lewdly, "Now, just say the word, and I’ll send this exciting little reel straight to his wife. By then, it won’t just be Wang Yi—Qi Yayun won’t be able to escape either!"

Although Long Wu had no personal grudge against Qi Yayun, what could he do? She crossed his buddy.

If she hadn’t spilled this information to the He Family, how could the previous incidents have happened? Cause and effect! It was time for payback.

Leng Mochen’s lips twitched slightly; he now realized that Long Wu carried out tasks with this distinct style—how obsessed did this guy have to be with watching people’s private moments?

Noticing Leng Mochen’s expression, Long Wu grumbled in dissatisfaction, "You ungrateful bastard! Do you have any idea how much work goes into pulling off this kind of high-difficulty operation?"

Did he think playing paparazzi was easy? Baby suffers in silence!

Leng Mochen: "..."

...

Feng Yong was suspended and investigated by his workplace after suddenly receiving a huge deposit of two million yuan in his account.

He felt wronged; he was indignant, but reality was ruthlessly harsh—he couldn’t explain the source of the large sum.

To make matters worse, another account under his wife’s name also revealed a fifty-thousand-yuan deposit.

His wife was an ordinary person. Based on their combined salaries, how could they possibly have such savings?

As a result, even if he wanted to argue his innocence, he couldn’t prove it.

Actually, Leng Mochen and Long Wu did have ways to deal with him earlier, but they refrained from acting because they wanted to uncover the people behind him.

Now there was a lead, and they wouldn’t let him cause any further trouble.

As for the puppet master pulling the strings, their true identity was astonishing.

Who was it that suddenly fixated on Zhou Rou’s disappearance? They had speculated on the possibilities before.

But they overlooked someone—a man who once had a child with Zhou Rou: Han Mingxue.

It turned out that after the scandal revealing Li Fei was actually his uncle’s granddaughter, Han Mingxue had been hastily exiled overseas by Mrs. Han to lay low.

Yet every time Han Mingxue thought about it, it haunted him like a nightmare.

Han Mingxue couldn’t help reminiscing about his days with Zhou Rou; in truth, those times were more sweet than bitter.

Moreover, Zhou Rou had been pregnant with his child—a memory he found surprisingly comforting in hindsight.

But everything was shattered when his sister-in-law Yin Qi’s brother, Yin Xian, brought a pregnant Ye Duowei to his doorstep. A heated argument with Zhou Rou led to a physical altercation, resulting in a miscarriage.

Later, Zhou Rou herself was beaten so badly during the scuffle that she almost had a miscarriage. Fortunately, she was saved in time during emergency care.

Moved to a residence he had arranged for her to recuperate, all the pressures and conflicts made him lose patience with her.

Then, Li Fei appeared, and spurred by Zhou Gang’s remarks, he ended his relationship with Zhou Rou.

At first, Han Mingxue didn’t think much of the breakup; Zhou Rou was the type of woman he believed he could easily move on from.

But his time with Li Fei became an indelible mark of shame in his life.

How could he possibly have been involved with Li Fei, who shared his bloodline?

And so, in the dead of night, he found himself often dreaming of Zhou Rou—and peculiarly, Zhou Rou seemed to be pleading with him for help.

Her desperate image refused to leave his mind, affecting his everyday life to the point that he felt compelled to search for her.

The fact that he had returned to the country was deeply concealed—even Mrs. Han and Han Mingzhe didn’t know.

After investigating Zhou Rou’s last known movements, he went to great lengths to locate Zhang Yao and uncover certain truths.

Which eventually led to the letter!

He suspected that Li Si and her circle might know the secrets of Zhou Rou’s final whereabouts, so he later bribed Feng Yong with fifty thousand yuan to infiltrate the police investigation.

The story seemed simple enough, but when Li Si heard it from Leng Mochen, she still found it deeply unbelievable.

"Are you sure you didn’t get this wrong? Han Mingxue is the one secretly investigating Zhou Rou’s disappearance?"

Li Si found it hard to believe because, back when Zhou Rou had a miscarriage, it was Li Fei who stood by her side.

If Han Mingxue had truly cared for Zhou Rou, how could he have broken up with her so soon after her miscarriage?

And with everything that happened after, there was no sign that Han Mingxue had any deep affection for Zhou Rou.

If his love for Zhou Rou was genuine, why had he so easily gotten together with Li Fei?

He even traveled back to North City with Li Fei, meeting her family, which triggered the revelation of Li Guofu being Mr. Han Sr.’s biological son!

Leng Mochen couldn’t explain Han Mingxue’s motives either and simply replied: "No mistake!"

Now that the matter was resolved, he didn’t want to dwell on it.

Besides, Zhou Rou’s current whereabouts remained a secret; apart from his closest confidants and himself, no one else knew.

Perhaps years later, the truth might surface—but certainly not now.
