Chapter 165: The Person in The Painting is Mommy!

After Ding Miao had sent the messages on WeChat, she immediately deleted them.

So, this chat record that Captain Cui was showing them belonged to the reporter she had chatted with.

Ding Miao was so angry that she was about to go crazy.

Why was that reporter so dumb? In addition, how could she be exposed so directly?

Wait something was wrong, it had only been a few minutes since she was suspected. How could they have obtained the chat record so quickly?

She stared at Captain Cui with fear and astonishment. All of a sudden, she realized that they must have used some IT stuff. However, how could their skill level reach such a high level?

What Ding Miao didn’t know was that Captain Cui’s chat records were given to him by Shen Ruojing.

With all the evidence, Ding Miao could no longer explain things. The leader was so angry that he directly fired her. “You are fired. In addition, we will be pursuing your negligence for wantonly disobeying orders and leaking secrets. You can go home first and wait for your punishment!”

Shen Ruojing didn’t participate in these matters.

To her, Ding Miao was merely a stumbling rock on the path. It was fine as long as the rock was kicked away. On the way back, Shen Ruojing separated from Lawyer Li and took the sample directly to Ye Lu’s clinic.

The moment she reached the reception, Ye Lu passionately welcomed her. “My dear~ How long has it been since we were last separated? Are you missing me already?”

“…Lend me the equipment room. I need to check something,” Shen Ruojing calmly spoke.

Ye Lu’s lips twitched. “You are so heartless.”

Although she said that, she still led Shen Ruojing into the clinic.

Ye Lu’s clinic wasn’t large, but the interior wasn’t simple at all.

She was insignificant in the medical world but was extremely famous in the underground organization. Many people who were injured and refused to go to the hospital would all look for her.

Shen Ruojing and Ye Lu entered the elevator, and just when Ye Lu was preparing to press the third floor which led to the apparatus room, Shen Ruojing spoke out, “Basement two.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lu’s expression turned serious and she no longer smiled. She pressed the button leading to the second level of the basement and solemnly asked, “The thing you want to check is so serious?”

“Hmm.”

Shen Ruojing also didn’t waste time talking nonsense.

The two soon reached basement two and immediately saw a medical base that was about a few hundred square meters in size. There were all sorts of medical instruments and equipment here.

Shen Ruojing walked toward an empty glass petri dish and placed the sample she had obtained from Yan Zihao there. “Cultivate it first. I’ll come and check the results two days later.”

“Okay.” At this moment, Ye Lu was extremely serious.

Shen Ruojing turned and left, but she didn’t forget to remind Ye Lu, “Pay attention to your safety.”

This sentence caused Ye Lu’s expression to turn heavier.

She hesitated for a moment before involuntarily asking, “Do you think it is that?”

Shen Ruojing lowered her eyelids and only nodded after a long time later.

Ye Lu’s expression turned even more solemn. “I understand.”

At the Chu Manor.

Fang Panxia, who had been tossed out of the car halfway and only managed to get a cab after she traversed the entire highway, was so tired that her face turned green.

She came directly to Chu Manor and wanted to see Chu Cichen. However, the securities blocked her way. “He doesn’t wish to see you. Please head back.”

Fang Panxia bit her lips and directly took her phone out and called Chu Cichen. The call connected, but before Chu Cichen could speak, Fang Panxia spoke first, “Bro Chen, I found some clues about 518! I have to report this in person to you.”

But before she could finish speaking, Chu Cichen interrupted her coldly, “No need for that. Just tell me on the phone.”

Fang Panxia. “…”

Her hand that was holding her phone exerted force, and the veins on the back of her hand throbbed. For a time, she felt her face burning.

During these years, she was treated differently by Chu Cichen because she had met 518 before. So, every time she mentioned 518, she would definitely be able to see Chu Cichen in person. When had she ever been treated so coldly like this before?

She lowered her eyelids and slowly spoke, “Dugu Xiao cannot forget 518. He found so many women not because he wanted to humiliate 518. As long as these people imitated her well, he would have a good temper. However, I have to disappoint you with the matter that you wanted me to investigate. I failed to find that person’s identity.”

“Got it.”

Fang Panxia continued, “Bro Chen, I…”

“Du, du, du.” Before she could finish speaking, he directly hung up the phone and caused Fang Panxia’s remaining words to be stuck in her throat.

A while later, Lu Cheng came out of Chu Manor and started upon seeing Fang Panxia.

In the past, Lu Cheng had never thought that Fang Panxia wasn’t good. But when they were in Dugu Xiao’s villa, her hostility toward Shen Ruojing was clear for all to see. This finally caused him to feel that something was wrong.

With a complicated expression, he walked over and said, “Bro Chen says that in the future, you just have to be responsible for the pharmaceutical business of the Chu Corporation. You don’t have to investigate the matter he asked you to anymore.”

Fang Panxia opened her mouth in astonishment and stared at Lu Cheng in disbelief.

518 was a secret that only she and Chu Cichen knew. Now that Bro Chen told her that there was no longer a need for her to investigate, who was he sending to investigate 518 then?

She hurriedly spoke, “I’m the only one that has some understanding in medicine and I’ve also met her in the past before. How would Bro Chen…”

Lu Cheng could understand her sentiments. He directly replied, “I think Bro Chen will get Shen Ruojing to investigate. After all, it is much more convenient for her to enter and leave Dugu Xiao’s villa.”

Fang Panxia clenched her fists once more.

She lowered her head. “So this is the case. Alright then. Actually, my teacher and seniors are about to come over. I can take the chance to join them and work on company stuff. I won’t be disturbing Bro Chen then.”

Fang Panxia silently rejoiced.

Luckily, her teacher and seniors agreed to work in the Chu Corporation, allowing her to be of some use to Chu Cichen. If not, she probably would be marginalized.

At the study on the third floor.

After Chu Xiaomeng finished reading the first part of the book [Quantum], she started searching the study for the second part.

She failed to find it after half a day.

The little fellow who had social phobia finally sought the butler’s help.

“The second part?” The butler looked at the obedient and adorable Chu Xiaomeng before her. She had jade-like skin and was holding onto a green dinosaur soft toy in her arms. She lifted her head and her clear, bright peach blossom eyes could be seen.

The butler smiled. “I remember it now. I think Mr. Chu brought it to his study to read.”

“Okay.” Chu Xiaomeng had a look of joy on her face. “I’ll look for daddy then.”

The little girl ran to Chu Cichen’s study and pushed the door open. “Daddy? Do you have the second part of [Quantum]?”

Chu Cichen inclined his head and saw a small head peeking in from the entrance. The little girl’s body was outside the door. She leaned against the door and spoke, as though she didn’t want to disturb him.

She was very obedient and sensible.

When facing his daughter who had such a soft personality, a smile involuntarily appeared on Chu Cichen’s face. “Hmm, it’s on the bookshelf. You can take it yourself.”

“Okay, daddy!”

Chu Xiaomeng quietly walked to the bookshelf and stretched her little hand out…

At this moment, Chu Cichen suddenly thought of something. He stood up abruptly. “Xiaomeng, I’ll help you…”

But before he could finish speaking, Chu Xiaomeng’s hand already came in contact with a painting.

Pak!

The painting fell onto the ground and spread open.

Chu Xiaomeng widened her beautiful peach blossom eyes and stared at the woman in red who was also wearing a golden mask. This mask…wasn’t this person her mommy? She seemed to have seen this mask in her mommy’s storage room before!

At this moment, her vision darkened.

Chu Cichen nervously crouched and stretched his hand out to take the painting. His expression was heavy, and he suddenly heard Chu Xiaomeng asking, “Daddy, why did you draw mommy in a painting?”
