iao Youyou beside her, can she just lie down and sleep peacefully, as if nothing matters!He really wanted to rip that woman's heart out and see if it was made of stone! He also wanted to peel back her...Although He Ya is abroad, she hasn't missed any news from home. (..tw) When Lin Meng got into trouble with being drugged, He Ya knew about it immediately and was excited.

Currently, she is recuperating her body according to the doctor's instructions and waiting for the best time to conceive, so there is still time to frolic. And now Lin Meng is in a perfect position to push her down even harder! The investigation findings from City J don't need to be released immediately, when else would they be

Through a good intermediary, she immediately contacted the investigation team in city J and ordered them to hand over what they had gathered to her intermediary right away. As for the price, she was willing to be generous. Since a large sum of money was on the table, everything else seemed manageable. The person in charge replied that it was possible. He would go back right away to organize the content they had collected over the past few days and quickly send someone to deliver it to the intermediary.

He Yaya learned about the news from someone in between, and her joy was so overwhelming that it almost distorted her expression.

On that end, Rong Ling's subordinates wouldn't sit idly by. Even if He Ya found an intermediary, all her actions were under Rong Ling's surveillance, so even that intermediary surnamed Ma was monitored as well.

Rong Ling got the news quickly. "Big brother, what should we do now!"

Yu Xu held his phone, his eyes cold. Even his usual sunny face was covered with a layer of cold and sinister gloom!

"Bring everything over here quietly, without making a sound! And be careful not to reveal your location. Keep tracking that group of people!"

Yu Xu smiled confidently. "No problem, I'll have someone take care of it right away!"

He's a master at pulling off stunts like this!

So, after the person surnamed Su returned to the office, all the things his team had worked hard for day and night these days just vanished!

“Who has been to my office!” Su, the head of responsibility, roared, furious. This was money, a lot of money!

When those outside heard this, the subordinates rushed in quickly. Upon learning the situation, they were all stunned!

If things are missing, they won't be able to account for it to their employer. In that case, all their hard work these days will have gone down the drain!

"Who the heck has been in my office!" Su, the head of the department, continued to roar, his suspicious eyes scanning each one of his brothers and subordinates.

Everyone was silent, and finally one person couldn't hold back and cursed. "Da Su, my brothers, we all understand this principle, and we've followed you for so many years, knowing that your office is a sacred place, no one would just casually enter it. This has been going on for so long, think about it yourself, could my brothers be so disrespectful as to cross the threshold!"

Su, the person in charge, narrowed his eyes.

One Hand also chimed in, "That's right, Brother Su. Those things are the fruits of our brothers' hard work these days. Who would be so stupid to take them Besides, even if we did take them, we wouldn't know who to give them to. To say we stole them is ridiculous! Moreover, our brothers all have a sense of propriety and wouldn't do such a thing. Brother Su, we all follow you wholeheartedly. If you doubt your brothers, it will hurt their feelings!"

Su felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that what these guys were saying was true. He had gotten to where he was today entirely because of his team, and he couldn't just let them down like this!

This latest task he took on was pretty strange and quite tiring. He worked hard for a long time, but didn't make any real money. When he finally made some, his stuff got lost, so he couldn't control himself in the moment and got upset and angry.

The man with tanned skin immediately broke into a smile and apologized to his brothers. He started talking amicably with them about the incident, hoping to find some clues. After all, things don't just disappear out of thin air, there has to be some trace, right

But, no, absolutely not!

No one knows when this thing disappeared, nor has anyone seen anyone enter the office. Even the secretly installed surveillance footage didn't reveal any clues. It simply vanished into thin air!

Su, the team leader, was a detective and immediately knew that the surveillance footage must have been intercepted by an expert at some point, then taken away by another expert who specialized in cracking codes. The first suspect would naturally be someone from his own team, but as with his previous case, it didn't seem logical. However, Su thought more deeply and couldn't rule out the possibility that He Ya had bribed another member of his team, creating an insider situation! But He Ya didn't seem like she was short on money...

After much deliberation, Su thought back to the strange feeling he'd been having recently, a sensation of being watched unseen. Su decided he had to find out if someone was indeed following him and who had taken that thing. Time wouldn't wait for him, though; Ma Zhongjian, who was waiting for his reply, called, demanding the item.

"That thing was stolen!" Su, the manager, reluctantly revealed this fact, his face as black as coal.

That man in the middle of the horses was not pleased. He angrily rebuked Su's manager for being two-faced, saying how could he just now say to go back and get it, and then on this side say the thing is gone Isn't this messing with him!

"I said it's over, it's over!" Su's manager sounded impatient. "You have He Ya call me, I want to talk to her personally!"

"She's just not convenient to talk to you, so she found me!" The head of the horse was angry and scolded, his attitude was quite arrogant, feeling that the head of Su looked down on him! The person He Ya found naturally leaned towards someone like her, an arrogant person who couldn't stand others not putting him in their eyes! The middleman of the horse argued again, suspecting they didn't do anything at all, and even suspected that Su's team had been deceiving people all along. He even said—since they can't do it, he'll go to another company!"

An invisible conflict—between He Ya and the department head Su—had emerged!

The person in charge of Su was holding back a lot of anger and threw out a harsh sentence. "Give us five more days, five days, I'll definitely give you another set of data. This time, I guarantee it will be foolproof!"

"In five days, the yellow flowers will be wilted!" The head of Ma's team cursed angrily!

Su, the person in charge, hung up the phone directly. He wasn't afraid that He Ya would go to another company. The threats from such an intermediary were nothing to him. Only by truly delving into the investigation of Lin Meng's case could others understand its depth. He considered himself capable, but it had taken him so long to finally make some progress. At this time, letting someone else take over and start anew Humph, no one would have results in a month. Just in terms of time, the newly hired person wouldn't be able to match them this time! Even if He Ya went to another company, he didn't believe she would refuse what he had already offered!

As for that middleman, tell him to go eat **! He's nothing!

At the same time, he also became wary. Next time he got materials, he would definitely carry them with him. That way, no one would dare to take them again!

As expected, after hearing the report from Ma's intermediary, He Ya still had to rely on Su in charge. However, He Ya made a tough statement: if Su in charge didn't produce any results within five days, she would make him cough up all the money he had swallowed beforehand. She wouldn't believe this person anymore and would definitely find another team!

The person in charge of Su took the blame this time.

He Ya was displeased, scolding Su's manager in her heart. But she could only hold back, secretly hoping that the domestic wind of this "eradicate the forest" dream would blow stronger and last longer. At least, it had to be dragged on until five days later!

Well, she has to seize this opportunity too, and give Lin Meng a taste of her own medicine!

But she still doesn't know who played whom!

Once Yu Xu got the things, he showed them to Rong Ling briefly through video call, and just like always, burned everything afterwards. Actually, what Rong Ling had done over the years was already clean enough. Even those scraps of information about Lin Meng's past that Su found were hardly valuable anymore. Because all the reports about Lin Meng back then had been replaced by new content. So even if Su or He Ya revealed those findings, Rong Ling could completely counter them, claiming that what He Ya had was entirely fabricated. When others brought back those newspaper clippings to j city and compared them, although they might have some doubts in their hearts, after comparing them with the original newspaper archives kept by various companies, they couldn't help but stand on Rong Ling's side and follow his lead.

And Rong Ling's continued indulgence of the Su person in charge leading a pair to mess around there, besides using their strength to gain benefits, was also to create a rift between the Su person in charge and He Ya!

This time the data was hijacked, and Su's boss must have started to suspect He Ya! Because coincidentally, it was him who notified that the items were in hand, and after they could be transferred, he disappeared. As detectives in their line of work, suspicion is their nature. The timing of this incident was too coincidental, leaving no room for Su's boss to suspect anything else!

Stay tuned, this is just the beginning!

Rong Ling will let He Ya know what it means to play with fire and get burned!

He will also let the person in charge of Su know what it means to plot with a tiger!

Sometimes, suspicion and infighting can be quite fun!

Completely unaware that he had been plotted against and then protected by Rong Ling, Lin Meng welcomed two much more important figures: Jiang Chengfeng and Jiang's mother.

Jiang Mu said she wanted to take the little one to play somewhere else, but left Jiang Chengfeng behind. Lin Meng knew that Jiang Chengfeng probably had something he wanted to tell her alone, but she didn't expect him to say those words at all.

"Meng Meng, let me be Yu Yu's dad!"

Lin Meng was surprised. This was already the second man who had a good relationship with her and proposed to be Youyou's father today. The first one, of course, was Feng Tan, who controlled the media industry and got the news first!

Lin Meng was grateful to Feng Tan and had a good impression of him, but the idea of him being her son's father was something she hadn't even considered. Moreover, in her conversation with Rong Ling, he had honestly admitted to being Youyou's father and confessed about that night. He had assured her that she was safe under his protection and there were no other men involved. Now, he had specifically asked her to wait for him to return. How could she possibly accept another man at this time!

Even if the man in front of me is Jiang Chengfeng, Big Brother Jiang, and A Lang's brother, that's not okay!

She knew that Brother Jiang was doing this for her good! He really fell silent when he said this, then his expression became serious, and then he opened his mouth. He seemed to have made a lot of psychological preparation before making this decision!

She was grateful, but she couldn't accept it.

"Uncle Jiang, thank you, but Yoyo has a father!"

But he's not his biological father!

“No, it’s the biological father!” In front of Feng Tan, she still had some reservations, but facing Jiang Chengfeng, with those sincere and profound eyes, she decided to tell him everything. "I know who Yuyou's biological father is, Brother Jiang, don't worry. I will publish an announcement, clarifying that Yuyou is not fatherless, his father, I already have a number in mind, so please, others don't bother me anymore. This storm will pass, don't worry!”

She smiled serenely, appearing truly unbothered.

Jiang Chengfeng frowned heavily, then let out a heavy sigh. “Actually, how could I possibly not know who Youyou’s biological father is! But if you don't tell me Youyou's father's name every day, the media won't let you go for a day. And that man, even if he admits to Youyou’s identity, what can he give you! Can he marry you With his status, that kind of family, a century-old family, is the most particular about it. When marrying a wife, it must be a perfect match. Can he marry you!”

After a pause, he weighed his words carefully and replied to himself in a heavy tone. "No, it can't be. He couldn't possibly marry you. Even if he had such feelings, his family would never allow it. In the end, Youyou could only be an illegitimate child, and you—"

His eyes flashed with pain and pity. “You should know, your identity can only be more embarrassing!”

Lin Meng stopped laughing and fell silent. Jiang Chufeng's words were things she had vaguely thought about before, but she had deliberately ignored them. She always thought that in this day and age, as long as she and Rong Ling had each other in their hearts and worked hard to run their family, wouldn't that be enough! Why insist on a match made in heaven!

But Jiang Chengfeng put this sentence here, she had to come out of her self-deceived fantasy and face some harsh realities! And this is also why she couldn't ask Rong Ling on the phone if he would marry her before!

Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes, suddenly stood up, walked to Lin Meng's side, and stopped.

Lin Meng had to look up, staring at the tall figure in front of her. He stood above her, his gaze deep and penetrating, she felt enveloped by him, both by his stature and his eyes!

"Dreamy—"

He suddenly reached out and gently touched the center of her head, at the crown.

Her body tensed slightly.

He continued, "Marry me, and let me be Youyou's father!"

She widened her eyes instantly and almost without thinking, shook her head!

Jiang Cheng felt the pain, but his strong will quickly suppressed the sadness.

“I’ve always believed there was some sort of fate connecting Youyou and me. He reminds me of A-Lang, or perhaps he's like A-Lang's child, or even A-Lang reborn. I felt it the first time I saw him. Even my mother, she—”

With a smirk, he curled his lips and laughed mockingly. “You should know my mother’s attitude towards you. Because of Alang, she... isn't very willing to see you. But after meeting Youyou, she couldn't help but like him, and also felt similar to me. So, even if she didn't want to see you again, she still appeared before you time and time again. Youyou is really good. I am willing to love him, and I will definitely love him more than any father in the world, even my mother! Since Youyou is my son, he will be happy. I will give him a unique identity, and I will never wrong him, nor you! I also have to be honest with you, for both of you and Youyou, if you want to have a legitimate identity, that man absolutely can't give it to you!”

Jiang Cheng said all this for Youyou's sake! Lin Meng knew he liked children and that he was sincere. But, she really couldn't accept it!

Her heart told herself that things hadn't reached the final step, she could still fight for it. She couldn't be so shamelessly using the man's affection in front of her, throwing herself into his arms and letting him become her safe haven just because she didn't have a hundred percent certainty!

This is unacceptable, her pride won't allow it!

"Brother Jiang, thank you, really thank you! But, I can't agree to you!"

She couldn't tell him the details, she just smiled at him. In her smile, there was silent persistence and firm refusal!

Jiang Chengfeng rubbed her face heavily. "Silly girl, don't refuse so quickly, think it over carefully, okay! I wouldn't do anything to annoy you, would I!"

Lin Meng laughed, "What are you talking about How could I dislike you!"

"Alright, think it over! What I just said will always work. And let me tell you, I will absolutely never stand by and watch you and Youyou get bullied!"

So, at the right moment, he might take harsh measures and force this woman into marriage!

"Brother Jiang!" Lin Meng's face flushed, and for some reason, she found herself unable to meet his intense gaze. There was something more than just a brother looking at his sister in those eyes. The familiar warmth radiating from them made her heart race with unease.

“You deserve better, believe me! Your one true love is definitely waiting for you to find her!” So, don't be so foolish as to make such promises to her. Alang entrusted him to take good care of himself before he died, but that was certainly not asking him to joke around with his whole life!

This is too heavy!

...it's not necessary at all!

Jiang Chengfeng, upon hearing this, was not displeased, nor embarrassed, or awkward. Instead, he smiled. He was actually a very handsome man. When his eyebrows rose slightly, his face softened, appearing gentle and elegant, like spring sunshine, capable of making many women's hearts flutter.

"You silly girl, actually, up to now, you're the one I find most agreeable!"

No matter how much he felt, he couldn't express it openly! How deep this feeling was, only he knew. Even though he truly wished to marry her now, he could only use Youyou as an excuse. And jokingly said such things, but he couldn't tell her that he was actually attracted to her!

Because he was afraid of scaring her!

Because he knew her personality!

He didn't want her to feel wary of him, and then avoid him!

Only by approaching her harmlessly can he suddenly embrace her when she is unguarded!

Thus, after hearing his words, she merely uttered a surprised "ah," her face flushed with some embarrassment, yet she didn't awkwardly choose to escape directly.

This was exactly what he had expected!

"Think about it carefully, I'm not that bad, right! Besides, I can protect you for life and keep you under my watchful eye. A-Lang would definitely be very pleased if he knew this!"

"Big Brother Jiang, please don't do this..." She still thought that his plan was due to A-Lang!

Jiang Cheng smiled against the wind, but he turned and walked away, not giving her a chance to speak again.

"Come on, let's play with my little Youyou! Youyou, Youyou..." he shouted. The little boy, hearing his call, responded in a cooperative manner.

"Uncle Da Jiang, I'm here!"

Lin Meng furrowed her brows and shook her head, putting the matter aside. She really didn't take Jiang Chengfeng seriously!

This woman's heart is actually very small, and she's a bit stubborn. Right now, her heart only holds Rongling, so whether you call her devoted, obstinate, or simply dull, the bottom line is that she won't pick up on any ripples of suggestion from others!

After staying for a while, Jiang Cheng and his mother left the house. As they walked, Jiang's mother asked him in a slightly hurried tone.

How about it, did Lin Meng agree!

"Mom!" Jiang Chengfeng chuckled. "If she agreed so easily, she wouldn't be the Lin Meng I want!"

Jiang Mu frowned and sized up her son from head to toe. He was handsome, wealthy, and incredibly capable. She muttered under her breath, "You're not bad yourself! You have everything a woman could want. Why wouldn't she say yes!"

She is eager for Little Youyou to acknowledge their kinship and become her granddaughter properly!

"Mom, haste makes waste. You're being too impatient!"

"Oh, come on, relax! Look at those people who just arrived. They wouldn't even dream of being related to us after eight lifetimes. They dare to impersonate Yoyo's father Unbelievable! If you don't hurry up, some random person might get there first. I don't care what happens, but let me tell you, Yoyo is my grandson and I won't allow him to be adopted by someone else!"

“Mom——” Jiang Chengfeng looked at his mother, who was becoming more and more energetic and gradually approaching the level she had before A-Lang's death. His heart ached, softened, and moved all at once. He replied in a hoarse voice, “Mom, rest assured, son will work hard!”

Jiang Mu suddenly burst into laughter but also promised, "Don't worry, if you marry Lin Meng, your mother won't be unreasonable. I will try my best to treat her well!"

Jiang Cheng imagined the scene, his eyes flickering. He lowered his head and gave a light smile. However, this smile was fleeting, disappearing quickly from his cold lips.

He still has a lot to do before he can truly get there!parately, to bring Lin Meng back. Wherever Jiang Chifeng could take Lin Meng, it must be his workplace, temporary residence, or the Jiang family estate.He made this arrangement, which truly made Li L...
