Ling Mo glanced at Su Yu, whose face was overly tense, and her smile became even more prominent. She said in a clear voice, “Officer, is my suggestion feasible?”

“It’s difficult. These kidnappers are all from Country Z, and they have never opened bank accounts in our country. As for the information of overseas bank accounts, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to find out.”

Hearing the police’s explanation, Ling Yunlong quickly covered the earpiece and scolded Ling Mo coldly, “If you don’t understand, don’t interrupt.”

In his opinion, Ling Mo was purely acting out, always wanting to show off in front of others.

If she really had some ability, then so be it.

The problem was that Ling Mo was a useless good-for-nothing. If she were to continue speaking, it would inevitably expose her intelligence and make a fool of herself.

“What did you say?”

Ling Mo’s eyes were filled with an unfathomable fierceness.

Ling Yunlong felt a gust of wind at the back of his neck when she glanced at him. The blood in his body seemed to have frozen in an instant as he was in a daze.

How could Ling Mo’s aura be so similar to that person’s?!

Su Yu saw that Ling Yunlong’s expression was not quite right and asked with concern, “Yunlong, are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m fine.”

Ling Yunlong shook his head, turned off the speakerphone, and chatted with the police for a while.

Ling Mo noticed the fear that flashed past Ling Yunlong’s eyes, and she felt even more confused.

She only glared at him and didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. Why was he so nervous?

Could it be that he accidentally saw wrongly and mistook her for her mother?

No, that didn’t make sense either.

She and her mother’s looks were not similar at all. Ling Yunlong was neither short-sighted nor far-sighted, so how could he have mistaken her for her mother?

Just as she was racking her brains, Ling Yunlong had already hung up the phone and rushed to the press conference that was scheduled at 9 am this morning with the senior affairs secretary of Shi Jian Group.

Although the riot at Ling Tian’s birthday party did not cause any casualties, as the organizer of the party, Ling Yunlong had to stand up at the first opportunity to clarify the truth of the matter. Only by clarifying the relationship between Shi Jian Group and the armed kidnappers could the losses of the group be minimized.

The moment Ling Yunlong left, Su Yu’s expression instantly turned cold.

She looked at Ling Mo’s bare face with a faint smile. Other than disgust, there was also a hint of pride.

The police had already made it clear that for the time being, they would not be able to find any information about the overseas bank accounts of the kidnappers. Therefore, even if Ling Mo wanted to investigate, she would definitely not be able to discover anything.

After calming down her nerves, Su Yu was like a proud peacock as she arrogantly took the new Ella handbag from the summer collection that Nanny Wu handed to her and swayed gracefully in front of Ling Mo. She walked towards the black business car that was already parked in the front yard.

“Liu Zhong, drive.”

“Yes, Madam.”

Liu Zhong, who was waiting at the side, smiled shyly and quickly walked forward to open the car door for Su Yu.

Ling Tian followed closely behind Su Yu. She had planned to sit next to her, but was pushed out of the backseat by Su Yu. “Xiao Tian, you sit in the passenger seat.”

“Okay.”

Ling Tian immediately understood. She glanced at the indifferent Ling Mo from the corner of her eye and curled the corners of her lips, smiling meaningfully.

Ling Mo did not care about these small details at all. With light in her eyes, she bent her long legs and lazily sat next to Su Yu in the backseat.

Su Yu did not say anything. As she touched up her makeup in front of the palm-sized vanity mirror, she would occasionally glance at Ling Mo, who was sitting beside her with her legs crossed.

As expected, those from the countryside had no manners.

They did not have a proper sitting posture and were vulgar and shabby. It was embarrassing!

On the other hand, looking at Ling Tian, who was sitting on the passenger seat obediently like a pure virgin, Su Yu was secretly pleased.

Back then, she was always overshadowed by Shi Ying.

Now, her precious daughter was showing off her potential. She had already completely outclassed those cheap bastards who had always been lingering around her.

Noticing Su Yu’s gaze from time to time, Ling Mo frowned impatiently and sent a Wechat message to Seductive Fox.

[ Help me check the overseas bank account information of the group of kidnappers who messed up Ling Tian’s birthday party. ]

[ Boss, did the Ling Family offend you? Do you want to use your connections to wipe them out? ]

[ Where’s the satisfaction in that? Besides, I don’t just want to destroy them. ]

Ling Mo put away her phone, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips.

She was not prepared to let go of anyone who had humiliated her.

Not only that, she wanted to use the most outrageous method to completely destroy their desire to live.

“Mo Mo, when you see your class teacher later, you can’t mess around anymore.”

Su Yu glanced at Ling Mo with a cold gaze, her words were filled with disgust, “If there’s a mock exam again, even if you don’t know how to answer a single question, you should at least guess. If there’s another zero in all subjects, you can scram back to the countryside. The Ling family can’t afford to lose face like this.”

Ling Mo revealed a mocking expression and asked in return, “How many points does aunty want me to get?”

“Naturally, the higher the better.”

Su Yu was even more baffled by her question.

Everyone knew that Ling Mo was not born to study, but her tone was always so arrogant.

What did she mean by how many marks did she want her to get?

She said it as if she could control her marks. How ridiculous!

“Since that’s the case, I will do my best to fulfill aunty’s wish.” After Ling Mo said that, she looked at Ling Tian who was reading an English textbook. “How many marks did you get in the mock exam last time?”

Ling Tian raised her eyebrows and felt a little disdainful.

How could someone like Ling Mo, who was a terrible student, compete with her?

“677 points.” After a moment of silence, Ling Tian proudly reported her score in the mock exam.

As soon as she finished her sentence, she didn’t forget to turn her head and give an encouraging smile to Ling Mo who was sitting in the back seat. “Sister is talented and intelligent. As long as you are willing to learn, you will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.”

“You actually lost 73 points?”

Ling Mo crossed her arms and looked provocatively at the proud and complacent Ling Tian.

Ling Tian sneered and replied arrogantly, “Could it be that you can get a score higher than 677 points?”

“It depends on my mood.”

Ling Mo replied casually and took the lead to open the car door. Just as she was about to get out of the car, she coincidentally bumped into Liang Feifan.

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Liang Feifan lowered his gaze and stared at the cold and elegant girl who had fallen into his chest. His deep voice was tinged with a hint of playfulness. “Are you that thirsty?”

Ling Mo: “…”

She looked up at the sky speechlessly and avoided Liang Feifan, who was standing motionlessly in front of her like a statue.

“Stop.”

Liang Feifan saw disgust and impatience in her eyes, and he felt even more upset.

He turned around quickly and grabbed Ling Mo’s slender wrist. “You’re playing hard to get.. How long do you want to keep this up?”
