Chapter 310: Sleeping At Different Times
Liang Chaosu’s wrist has always been unpredictable; Liang Zhengping has always been vigilant, and he has re-examined those old cases of Zhou Dazhi taking the blame.
Perhaps he could find another way.
The kidnappers who abducted Lin Xianzi were the same team from twenty years ago, serving death sentences, life sentences, and then released on parole. After their capture, the two provinces of Nanqi made great efforts to investigate, but the evidence was insufficient, and internal resistance was high.
Suddenly, progress was rapid, involving the cover-up from twenty years ago and Mo Jianhong’s kidnapping case. A nine-level earthquake occurred in the mainland officialdom, leading to a notification to Singapore, and the commissioner questioned Mo Shifu.
Liancheng was extremely excited to hear the news.
It was almost time for dinner, and Aunt Wang brought warm water, looking at her medicine before eating. “Xianzi asked me to sleep with you tonight.”
Liancheng’s trip to Europe did not materialize, so she specifically sent someone to pick up Aunt Wang.
She retired and did not accept re-employment; her visit to Singapore was purely to see Liancheng. As a distinguished guest and being elderly, in terms of address, she called Xianzi, and Lin Xianzi called her Sister Wang Ying.
The two got along exceptionally well, which made Liancheng seem like a problem child at kindergarten, strictly guarded by the teacher, making her days difficult.
Liancheng swallowed the pill. “You’re a light sleeper; I’ll sleep with Bai Ying.”
“And then stay up late watching movies.” After retiring, Aunt Wang had the authority of an elder with a stern face. “You’ve been running a high fever again these past two days. Ms. Lin is busy; I’ll supervise you.”
“Fever is my immune system fighting the virus,” Liancheng pleaded with her. “Besides, everyone else sleeps early, it’s peak time for entering dreams, congestion will cause insomnia. Bai Ying and I will sleep at different times.”
Aunt Wang didn’t understand the new term. “Miss Bai is Miss Bai; she’s in good health. I’ve seen enough of your health.”
It rhymed, and Liancheng was overjoyed.
The butler hurried in from outside the door. “There’s news from Europe. Mo Shifu’s private doctor, after contacting the protest leaders, has now started contacting key figures in the kidney transplant association. He might want to leverage your kidney source to threaten Manager Lin.”
Liancheng said sternly, “Does my mother know?”
The butler replied, “I was about to report it to Manager Lin.”
Liancheng looked at the wall clock. It was five in the afternoon. “I’ll go tell her. We can have dinner together.”
During this period, Lin Xianzi was extremely busy. The weather was good, and the places she went were appropriate. Liancheng had delivered two loving meals when her fever subsided.
The mother and daughter, Liancheng was attached to Lin Xianzi, and Lin Xianzi also couldn’t do without Liancheng.
The butler waited for her to take her temperature before arranging a car.
Bai Ying disliked the Southeast Asian weather and stayed indoors, never venturing out. Feng Shien had urgent work and had returned to the country. This time, Aunt Wang got into the car with her.
Lin Xianzi was at the Far East Research and Development Base in the eastern part of the city today. Near the villa were the Far East office buildings. After Mo Shifu interfered, Lin Xianzi no longer set foot there.
Upon entering the base compound, a car was already parked in front of the building.
The make, color, and license plate were something Liancheng had seen just a week ago.
Secretary Huang hurried down. Liancheng stood at the door and asked, “Who is here?”
Gu Xingyuan, or Liang Chaosu.
Secretary Huang reached out and took the lunchbox from her hand. “…They arrived suddenly, entering just before you. Manager Lin’s intention is that you shouldn’t go upstairs.”
No first name, and the surname was avoided; it was only Liang Chaosu.
“What does he want?”
Secretary Huang mumbled, unable to give a useful answer for a long time.
Liancheng looked upstairs. The research base was a small building, six floors in total. The internal hall was three stories high, and Lin Xianzi’s temporary office was on the second floor.
From her angle, she could see that the office door was tightly closed.
“Don’t hide it from me. If it weren’t important, my mother wouldn’t close the door.”
Lin Xianzi despised Liang Chaosu, and even if he let go, her feelings wouldn’t change. Being in the same room would only lead to her asking him to leave.
As for Liang Chaosu, since that day at the cemetery, he had kept a low profile, and had also kept his distance.
If he was indifferent to someone, even the most opportune coincidences wouldn’t fall into his lap.
Without a reason, he wouldn’t visit them.
“I heard… Liang Zhengping has been summoned twice by the mainland, showing signs of arrest. Liang Zhengping can no longer leave the country, and his wife has been secretly sent to Singapore.”
Liancheng initially thought it was impossible, then she believed it.
Liang Zhengping could be described as cunning, insidious, treacherous, vicious, and shameless. There was also a word, positive, that couldn’t be denied.
Husband and wife are one.
He was an absolute egoist, but Yao Nianci was equivalent to him.
The mainland’s strict investigation and crackdown had already set its sights on Singapore. Mo Shifu would certainly not want to risk going against the tide. But now that Yao Nianci had arrived, it seemed Liang Zhengping had the upper hand this time, forcing him to leave such a significant vulnerability.
“This is good news; why are you still looking downcast?” Liancheng smiled again, and was curious. “Mother didn’t allow you to tell me?”
Secretary Huang immediately denied it. “Manager Lin praised you the day before yesterday for your insight and said you would inherit her position in the future, and…”
Liancheng watched him quietly.
“It’s that…” Secretary Huang whispered, “He became restless and brought up your illness, suggesting that Manager Lin give up searching for kidney sources in Europe and switch to Huaxia. He also asked Manager Lin to go to Europe to obtain evidence of Mo Shifu’s private doctor bribing people, thereby triggering an investigation of Mo Shifu by both Europe and the mainland. We have a winning hand.”
Liancheng was stunned, surprised yet not surprised.
The butler received the news, indicating that Mo Shifu’s connections in Europe were not watertight.
Lin Xianzi could investigate, and so could Liang Chaosu.
Moreover, this was not simply restlessness; it involved Mo Shifu’s next move. He wanted to control the kidney source and force Lin Xianzi to waver. As a partner, Liang Chaosu changing the kidney source location was a preventive measure, and sending Lin Xianzi to Europe was a counterattack.
She went upstairs.
Secretary Huang had been prepared, but was stopped by Aunt Wang.
Liancheng lightly walked to the door and pushed it open.
Lin Xianzi was sitting behind the desk, her face unusually stiff, as if holding back a surge of anger but being helpless, enduring it.
“I can go to Europe. But Mo Shifu’s private doctor is no ordinary person. The people he contacted through your introduction might not necessarily be blind or foolishly stumbling into your hands; they might have had other intentions and were targeting you from the start.”
Liang Chaosu sat there, his eyes sharp and piercing, his aura imposing. “Whether they had other intentions, I’m not sure. But if you get the evidence in Europe, the grudges will end early, that’s beyond doubt.”
Lin Xianzi’s breathing was unsteady. Seeing Liancheng at the door, her eyes became even more fiery. She forced a smile and softened her tone. “Why did you come up? Where is Secretary Huang?”
Liancheng gestured downstairs. “Aunt Wang stopped him. Mom, I’m here for serious business.”
She didn’t shy away, closed the door, and repeated the news the butler had received word for word.
Lin Xianzi’s expression changed slightly. She pursed her lips and stared at Liang Chaosu. “Why aren’t you going? Those are your people; it would be more convenient for you.”
Liang Chaosu’s gaze swept over Liancheng, dark and indifferent, without any hidden depths, just a casual glance.
It was like how he used to scan unexpected, unwelcome guests during meetings.
“If I went, you would be suspicious.”
It concerned Liancheng’s illness, and his active participation, his slightly warm attitude, seemed like rekindling an old flame, or like insincerity, or like he had never let go.
Liancheng walked over and sat down generously in the single seat next to him. “I believe you.”
She faced the window, and Liang Chaosu was to the side. As the sun gradually set, the light shone in, crimson and scattered, obscuring his eyes, leaving only a faint curve at the corner of his mouth.
She turned her head, changing her angle to observe him.
He shifted his posture, revealing a smile that was sufficiently polite for socializing and engaging in pleasantries.
“Are you hinting that I should go?”
