Chapter 941: 940 He’s not answering the phone.
“Mo General, I apologize for my own actions to you.”
Li Yaqing’s apology sounded somewhat reluctant, but ultimately, she was intimidated by what Mo Xiuchen had just said and didn’t dare to press her own demands.
Mo Xiuchen picked up his water glass, finished the remaining water, and paid no attention to Li Yaqing’s apology.
In the awkward silence, Li Yaqing’s face changed color again and again. At last, she stood up and gave a sincere bow to Mo Xiuchen, “Mo General, please forgive me.”
“If this matter doesn’t get out, I can consider it,” Mo Xiuchen said, causing Li Yaqing’s face to change dramatically, “Mo General, I promise I won’t tell anyone, but…”
Mo Xiuchen raised an eyebrow, “I understand what you mean, but,”
His voice suddenly deepened, “if Ranran’s sworn statement appears in the media, the issues concerning you and your father will also be featured on the front page headlines of major media outlets.”
“Mo General, that’s not fair.”
Li Yaqing’s body trembled, and her complexion turned deathly pale.
She had already apologized, what more did he want. It wasn’t just her that knew about Wen Ran’s oath. According to the bodyguards of Mo Jingteng, the woman who was with Mo Xiuchen before, named Cheng Jia, is now nowhere to be found.
Hatred seethed through her for both Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran… And at that thought, Li Yaqing’s heart sank suddenly.
“Mo General, I can swear that I will never mention a single word about Mrs. Mo’s oath again, and I will not tell anyone,” she spoke sincerely and firmly, word by word.
Yet on Mo Xiuchen’s noble and cold face, there was not the slightest hint of softening. She cursed to herself, then added another sentence, “Those two bodyguards won’t talk nonsense either.”
“Miss Li can make those two bodyguards keep quiet, which suggests they’ve told you more than just this one thing about Cheng Jia…”
“Mo General, I don’t know about Cheng Jia…”

At the suburban villa,
Wen Ran and Gu Kai finished eating and moved to the sofa in the living room.
Gu Kai brought up the topic again, “Ranran, you can say it now. What is the matter with Li Yaqing?”
Wen Ran was about to speak when her phone suddenly rang.
Gu Kai’s brows furrowed slightly, and seeing her reach for her phone, he asked with frustration, “Is it Mo Xiuchen again?”
“No, it’s Sister Ting,” Wen Ran saw the caller ID and her eyes shifted slightly, then she looked at Gu Kai, speaking a bit slowly.
“Yuting?” Gu Kai’s expression showed a trace of confusion. Wen Ran nodded, pressed the answer button, and spoke indifferently, “Hello, Sister Ting.”
“Ranran, I need to ask you for a favor.” Shen Yuting’s voice came through the phone, tinged with a mix of urgency, concern, and a bit of hesitation, fearing rejection.
Wen Ran was slightly taken aback. Shen Yuting asking her for help?
“Sister Ting, what’s the matter? Just tell me.”
Gu Kai, who was sitting on another sofa, moved across to Wen Ran. Noticing this, she pressed the speakerphone button so Gu Kai could hear as well.
Shen Yuting’s voice came out from the phone, filling the quiet living room, “Ranran, didn’t Jiang Liu call you before? I want to ask you to give him a call for me.”
“Sister Ting, if you’re looking for Jiang Liu, why don’t you contact him yourself?” Wen Ran frowned slightly.
“I’ve been calling him, and he never answers, and he doesn’t reply to my messages either. Ranran, he’s completely ignoring me now.” Shen Yuting’s voice conveyed a hint of sadness, she didn’t know what Jiang Liu was up to, and it made her uneasy.
Wen Ran grew even more puzzled. Hadn’t Shen Yuting and Jiang Liu already broken up? Could it be that they hadn’t.
She turned her gaze, looking at Gu Kai with questioning eyes. The latter innocently shrugged his shoulders, and she pursed her lips, speaking softly, “Sister Ting, didn’t you break up with Jiang Liu? Why are you looking for him now…”
“Ranran, after Jiang Liu and I broke up, he quit his old job and went to work at some nightclub. I only found out about this two days ago. I’ve been calling him for the past two days, but he’s not picking up. I don’t want him to end up like before…”
Shen Yuting’s tone was filled with concern for Jiang Liu. Wen Ran was startled. “Sister Ting, are you saying Jiang Liu is working at a nightclub now?”
She had once asked Gu Kai to investigate Jiang Liu.
Knowing about his past lifestyle, it seemed that Jiang Liu, heartbroken by the breakup with Shen Yuting, had quit his job and returned to his former way of life.
“Yes, he told me himself. Ranran, can you please contact him for me and arrange a place to meet? Just don’t tell him that it’s me who wants to see him.”
Wen Ran hesitated for a few seconds, “I’ll try calling him. If Jiang Liu isn’t even picking up your calls, he might not pick up mine.”
“Ranran, thank you. I’m going to hang up now, can you call him right away?”
“Okay!”
After Wen Ran spoke, Shen Yuting hung up the phone, seemingly eager to see Jiang Liu, afraid to waste even a minute.
Seeing Gu Kai’s eyebrows knit together, Wen Ran smiled slightly and asked softly, “Brother, do you know if Jiang Liu has been in contact with Sister Ting lately?”
“I don’t know. Yuting has been busy with a clinical trial recently, and she hasn’t mentioned Jiang Liu,” Gu Kai recounted.
Wen Ran pursed her lips and bowed her head to look for Jiang Liu’s number on her phone, murmuring, “Well, I’ll try giving Jiang Liu a call. If he doesn’t want to answer my call, there’s nothing we can do for Sister Ting.”
“Call.”
Gu Kai nodded.
Wen Ran dialed Jiang Liu’s mobile number, and soon the call connected.
Gu Kai took a bite from an apple and offered another one to Wen Ran with a gentle smile on his lips.
Wen Ran shook her head, “I don’t want it.”
After a few rings, the person on the other end picked up. It was Jiang Liu’s voice, slightly slurred with a hint of drunkenness, “Hello?”
A glint flashed through Wen Ran’s eyes as she spoke softly, “Jiang Liu, where are you?”
“Who is this?”
Jiang Liu’s voice sounded confused and lonesome with a hint of inebriation. In the darkness of night, it made Wen Ran think of a certain early morning when Mo Xiuchen had called her, speaking in the same tone when he said he couldn’t sleep.
She frowned slightly, “It’s Wen Ran. Do you have a moment? I need to talk to you.”
“Wen Ran… what do you need to talk to me about? Just say it over the phone.”
“Are you drunk?” Wen Ran asked calmly. On the other end, Jiang Liu let out a scornful laugh, “What’s so strange about a man drinking?”
As his words ended, Wen Ran heard the beep of a dying battery from the phone, followed by the call ending.
Looking at the disconnected call log, Wen Ran’s lips puckered slightly. By her side, Gu Kai patted her shoulder reassuringly, “Ranran, it’s good that Jiang Liu answered your call. He’s drunk tonight, and whatever Yuting wants to say to him would be pointless. It’s better to wait until he’s sober tomorrow, then call him again.”
“That’s all we can do,” Wen Ran murmured, her voice a faint whisper, “Actually, I think Jiang Liu isn’t that bad. Although he used to live a reckless life, ever since he got together with Sister Ting, he’s been changing for her. Now that he’s quit his job and started working at a nightclub, it shows that his feelings for Sister Ting are genuine.”
