First floor of the villa
In the spacious living room, bright crystal lamp lights the first corner, separating it from the weather outside, making the room as warm as spring.
As soon as Wen Ran enters the house, she takes off her coat, wearing only a high neck sweater. Nanny Zhang takes her clothes upstairs for her. When she comes back to the living room, she immediately says, “Young Mistress, I’ve prepared your meal, please have it now!”
“Nanny Zhang, how did you know that I hadn’t eaten? Did Qing Yang and Qing Feng tell you?”
She enters but doesn’t see Qing Yang and Qing Feng. She wonders whether they’re back home.
Nanny Zhang shakes her head with a smile, “No. Young Master Wen called and told me. He said you went straight to the work site after work and hadn’t had dinner. So, I prepared a meal again.”
“My Brother?”
Wen Ran is somewhat surprised. Her brother didn’t ask her when she visited the hospital.
“Yes, Young Mistress. I am going to the kitchen to take out the food. You can wait in the dining room.”
“Are Qing Yang and Qing Feng back?”
As Wen Ran stands up and heads for the dining room.
“Not yet.”
Nanny Zhang answers her, then turns and enters the kitchen.
Wen Ran lightly knits her brow, wondering why Qing Yang and Qing Feng are still not back. She presses her lips and takes out her phone to dial a number.
A moment later, the phone is picked up. Qing Yang’s voice comes through the receiver, as if he knew she was looking for them, he directly said, “Miss Wen, Qing Feng and I are on our way, we’ll be home in about ten minutes.”
“Okay, drive carefully. There’s no need to hurry.”
Wen Ran relaxes her knitted brows, expressing her concern.
After hanging up the call, she starts having dinner.
As the phone rings, Wen Ran has just put down her chopsticks. The caller seemed to know that she had just finished eating. It’s such a coincidence.
She takes out her phone, sees the caller’s ID, her clear and vigorous pupils flash. She presses the answer button with her slender finger, “Hello, Mo Xiuchen!”
“Ranran, have you had dinner?”
The deep and gentle voice coming through the phone, creating a warm sensation in her heart.
Wen Ran’s emotions dissipate and translate into a familiar and gentle voice. A smile emerges in her watery eyes, a cheerful voice overflowed her lips, “Did you install a camera to secretly watch me eat across the Pacific Ocean? I just put down my chopsticks and your call comes.”
“Haha, Ranran, this proves we have a mental connection.”
Mo Xiuchen is amused by her words, a hearty laugh travels through the signal into her ear, making him all the more attractive.
“Did Qin Mu call you?”
Wen Ran purses her lips and directly asks.
“Yes. I just finished the call with Ah Mu. Ranran, I’ve booked my flight back, it leaves in two hours. I’ll take care of the construction accident when I get back. The weather is cold in G City and you got wet in the rain earlier. Don’t worry about anything. Rest well at home for two days or perhaps, you could go to the hospital to accompany Bai Xiaoxiao.”
His intention is to keep her away from the investigation.
Wen Ran knits her brow lightly, unsatisfied with Mo Xiuchen’s arrangement.
“Mo Xiuchen, I heard that the accident is complex, not just due to operational misconduct. It involves some significant individuals and events. But I promised the victim’s relatives to get to the bottom of it. I want to make sure justice is served.”
She is afraid that Mo Xiuchen will compromise for some individuals and matters for the sake of the group’s interests. That would be extremely unfair to the two deceased workers and a betrayal of the victim’s family’s trust in her.
Although Wen Ran is young, she is a person who values credibility highly. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have given her true heart to Mo Xiuchen without any feelings in the beginning.
“Ranran, I understand, don’t worry. The reason I’m going back is to find out the real cause of the accident. I promise you, regardless of who and what is involved in the accident, even if it would severely harm the company, I wouldn’t act out of self-interest, okay?”
Wen Ran presses her lips together, not knowing what to say.
He knows her worries.
He says them out loud so clearly, after a moment of silence, she softly replies, “I believe you.”
“Then, do as I say. Don’t go to the construction site tomorrow or see anyone. Everything can wait until I get back. Let Ah Mu handle everything before I arrive.”
“Fine!”
Wen Ran reluctantly agrees.
At least she has three days, Mo Xiuchen will be back tomorrow afternoon, then there will be enough time for an investigation. As long as he acts fairly and impartially, she doesn’t need to intervene.
“As you got wet in the rain earlier, take a hot bath and rest early.”
“Have you taken care of everything over there?”
Wen Ran suddenly recalls that he said earlier that it would take a few days.
Now he’s rushing back so urgently, if he hasn’t settled things on his end, it would be a problem.
“Don’t worry, everything is all right.”
Mo Xiuchen’s voice is gentle and affectionate. His official tasks are taken care of, however, his personal matters are beyond his control.
After finishing the call with Mo Xiuchen, Wen Ran still went to look for Qing Yang and Qing Feng, to ask about the cause of the accident.
“Miss Wen, both deceased have been sent to the morgue. After you and President Qin left, there were no further troubles.”
The one who responded is Qing Feng. Compared to him, Qing Yang is colder and talks less.
“I heard that you’ve found out the reason for the accident, what happened?”
Wen Ran glances at Qing Feng, then looks at Qing Yang. The more taciturn one is less likely to lie. Qing Feng speaks too smoothly and his previous attempts at subterfuge had been futile.
Qing Feng chuckles and continues, “Miss Wen, we have investigated the accident. The crane operator’s misconduct caused the accident where two workers fell from a height.”
Wen Ran’s face darkens slightly, her penetrating gaze locking onto Qing Feng, “Is that so? I heard that it involves some important individuals. Qing Feng, are you taking someone’s benefits and not telling me the truth?”
“How could that be? Miss Wen, don’t falsely accuse me. What I despise the most are those dirty transactions.”
Qing Feng’s face tightens, he defences himself seriously.
Wen Ran narrows her eyes, and speaks indifferently, “Then don’t beat around the bush with me. Tell me everything you know. Mo Xiuchen is coming back tomorrow. I’ve promised him not to participate in this. I just want to understand the situation. If you insist on not telling me, then I have to find out on my own.”
After hearing this, Qing Feng’s face changes slightly. He glances at Qing Yang and reliantly divulged, “Miss Wen, it’s not that we’re withholding from you. We thought you could relax since Mo General will be back tomorrow instead of dealing these things.”
Wen Ran keeps her mouth shut without saying anything.
“Fine, I’ll tell you.”
Under Wen Ran’s cold gaze, Qing Feng surrenders. Qin Mu instructed earlier that if Wen Ran insisted on knowing the truth about the accident, they could explain it.
