Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Caught in the Net! What a Big Surprise!

His eyes and brows were filled with exhaustion, and he looked more than a decade older.

Shen Jiangqing’s eyelashes trembled slightly as he managed to open his eyes and move his lips, “Ah, Aling…”

But Li Lingyang was unmoved, his voice indifferent, “Since you can’t go to the mental hospital, just recuperate here.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiangqing’s complexion became even paler, nearly translucent.

“Chengcheng, Doudou, it’s time to go home!”

He had already done what he had promised them.

“But Mommy is like this now, and I’m worried!”

Chengcheng, going further than expected, pleaded, “Daddy, can we bring Mommy home to recuperate?”

Shen Jiangqing’s heart, which had just turned silent, suddenly lit up with a glimmer of hope.

“No!” Li Lingyang was resolute on this matter, leaving no room for negotiation, “There are doctors and nurses here to take care of her, you have nothing to worry about.”

Dissatisfaction filled Chengcheng’s eyes.

Mommy is so sick, why can’t Daddy compromise a little?

“Someone come!” Li Lingyang commanded, “Take Shen Jiangqing to the ward, she is weak, arrange for more nurses to take care of her.”

The underlying message of his words was akin to keeping Shen Jiangqing under close watch.

Shen Jiangqing couldn’t help but bite down on her back teeth.

She had nearly lost half her life in this debacle.

Was Li Lingyang truly so heartless, not even leaving her a sliver of a chance?!

Granny Li was very pleased with Li Lingyang’s decisiveness.

She couldn’t help but say, “You little rascal, if you had been this ruthless eight hundred years ago, would Chu Chu have divorced you?”

Li Lingyang touched his forehead, feeling a mix of helplessness and bitterness.

If only I had known…

Regret is meaningless in hindsight, isn’t it?

After confirming that Shen Jiangqing was out of danger, Li Lingyang planned to take the children home with Granny Li.

After all, the bond between Chengcheng and Shen Jiangqing was too deep, and he did not wish for them to have further contact.

As they were about to leave the hospital, Special Assistant Xu approached them and whispered, “President Li, the mysterious person has made a transfer to Chen Hua.”

Li Lingyang’s expression grew stern, the mysterious person had finally made a move?

“Have we found out who it is?”

“The tech department cracked the transaction IP and got the location, at Construction Bank on Beiyang Road, Imperial City; they probably haven’t gone far yet…”

A cold light permeated Li Lingyang’s eyes, “Gather the team immediately, start the capture!”

Old Madam Li could see his urgency and quickly said, “You go ahead and take care of it, I will take the children home.”

“Thank you, Granny,” he replied.

Without much ado, Li Lingyang left the hospital with Special Assistant Xu.

…

Ziyu Run Garden.

Mo Baiyou, worried that Ning Yichu and the two children might be bored, had some exquisite jade carvings delivered especially.

Taking the opportunity, Ning Yichu spent some time teaching the children some jade carving techniques.

The trio enjoyed a blissful, warm moment together.

It wasn’t until close to evening that Mo Baiyou received a call and then informed Ning Yichu, “There’s a clue about the mysterious person with the androgynous attire in the mental hospital.”

Ning Yichu looked up, her eyes cold as winter snow, “Who is he?”

“Ji Shiwang,” Mo Baiyou said coldly, “I had people check the surveillance around the mental hospital. While the cameras didn’t catch her, her car couldn’t hide.”

Ji Shiwang, a name Ning Yichu had not heard for quite some time…

“Wasn’t she sent abroad by the Ji Family?”

Previously, at Beiji Group’s celebration banquet, Ji Shiwang and Shen Jiangqing had jointly framed her, only to end up suffering the consequences themselves, exiled.

“That’s exactly where the problem lies!” Mo Baiyou’s face was grave, “After Ji Shiwang’s reputation was ruined, the Ji Family decided to send her abroad for refuge, but no one actually saw her board the plane…”

The chill in Ning Yichu’s beautiful eyes deepened, “So, Shen Jiangqing’s accomplice was actually Ji Shiwang!”

“According to the clues we’ve found so far, it appears so.”

The silhouette of a woman in the mental hospital, cash with perfume, hostility toward Ning Yichu, striking an alliance with Shen Jiangqing…

All the clues matched!!

Ning Yichu didn’t care whether Ji Shiwang left the country or not, but she would not let go of a woman who harbored ill-will toward her children!

That day, if Mo Baiyou hadn’t arrived in time when those people barged into her home…

The consequences were unimaginable!

“Chu Chu, what do you want to do?”

“Call the police,” Ning Yichu said coldly, “She has been arrogant for too long. Let the police deal with her, and let the Ji Family see the great surprise their daughter, whom they painstakingly sent abroad, has brought them.”

“Alright, I’ll follow your lead. As for that tall, thin man, let’s leave him to the police as well.”

Mo Baiyou nodded, although these people had harmed Chu Chu unforgivably, he respected her choice to handle them through official channels.

But…

Another force using the guise of overseas activity was harder to trace.

But when it came to Ning Yichu, even if he had to use special means, he would certainly find out…

…

As the sky over Imperial City darkened, it took on a deep blue hue, presenting a mesmerizing scene.

The dim yellow streetlights on Beiyang Road lit up, scattering through the lush treetops and falling upon the pavement tiles.

Ji Shiwang, wearing a loose hoodie, a hat, and a mask, hurried toward the direction of the hotel.

She had just transferred over the remaining balance to Chen Hua.

Although she was in a risky situation, being cooped up in the hotel had driven her mad, and this errand was a chance to clear her head.

Shen Jiangqing had somehow returned to the Li Family home and then completely vanished.

Was she that cowardly, afraid of exposing their relationship?

Or, had she been sent back to the hospital by Li Lingyang on the pretext of being a “real mental patient?”

What a waste!

Fortunately, she had taken a bold gamble and made use of Chen Hua. As long as Ning Yichu was upset, she was happy!

Just as Ji Shiwang was basking in her triumphant joy, she suddenly noticed several figures in black attire at the end of the street, as if they were patrolling something.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked behind her to see many more men in black, interrogating passersby.

Ji Shiwang, guilty as a thief, began to panic.

What’s going on?

Why are there so many men in black…

Could they be… here to catch her?

But she had been so careful, leaving no trace!

The wind that blew at night seemed to become more intense.

With the area swarming with personnel, there was no chance she could slip by unnoticed; she decided to cut through the green belt.

But Li Lingyang’s team of elite bodyguards quickly noticed the commotion.

“President Li, there’s a woman at the end of the street wearing a hoodie and a mask–she’s run into the green belt–”
