Chapter 969: Punish me then. Chapter 969: Punish me then. It was late at night, eleven o’clock.

Mo Xiuchen, who hadn’t felt sleepy, asked Wen Ran, “Ranran, why did Shen Yuting call you today?”

Wen Ran frowned slightly and, looking down, toyed with his slender, clean fingers in a soft voice, “Sister Ting called me to come to her house…”
After he heard her words, a hint of coldness gathered in the depths of Mo Xiuchen’s eyes, “Ranran, don’t take to heart what those people say. I will have Qing Feng thoroughly investigate this matter.”

“Mm.”

Mo Xiuchen let go of Wen Ran, turned around, took her phone, unlocked it, and Wen Ran looked at him, puzzled, “Mo Xiuchen, what are you doing?”

“I’m blocking Shen Yuting, so she won’t bother you anymore.”

“…”
Wen Ran opened her mouth but didn’t voice her objection.

Although there was no evidence yet to prove those people were instigated by Shen Yuting, the circumstances were too coincidental. Qing Feng had already found that those students were from a vocational school in G City, and tomorrow, he would visit that school…
This matter, Mo Xiuchen would definitely clarify thoroughly.

“By the way, give a call to Secretary Wu to have her check on Xiaoxiao.”

“What’s wrong with Bai Xiaoxiao?” A flicker of confusion appeared in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes.

Wen Ran repeated the content of the email Bai Xiaoxiao had sent her, Mo Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Alright, I’ll call Secretary Wu in a bit to have her check on Bai Xiaoxiao. It’s very late now, close your eyes and go to sleep.”

After he spoke, he gently kissed her forehead and his large palm lightly patted her back, soothing her to sleep like one would a child.

The reason Wen Ran slept so well every night was largely due to Mo Xiuchen, because he tired her out thoroughly, how could she not sleep through till morning.

A few minutes later, Mo Xiuchen gently pulled his arm away, covered Wen Ran with the blanket, and got out of bed.

He went into the study, made a call to Secretary Wu, then dialed Luo Haofeng’s number.

“Hello, Mo Xiuchen, why are you calling so late?”

“It’s not even midnight yet, you’re not going to tell me you were already asleep, are you?” Mo Xiuchen’s voice carried a hint of sarcasm; he was more inclined to believe that Luo Haofeng was at some bar or nightclub.

Although, ever since he had been with Bai Xiaoxiao, he had stayed away from those places, now that he was alone in City B and due to various social functions, he sometimes had no choice but to visit those venues.

As long as he did nothing over the line, it was not a problem.

“No, I’ve caught a cold these past few days, feeling awful, so I went to bed early tonight.” Luo Haofeng’s voice fell just as Mo Xiuchen heard a knocking sound from the phone, followed by a woman’s voice, though faint, he still heard it.

His eyes narrowed slightly, Mo Xiuchen teasingly said, “Ah Feng, you’re not sleeping alone, huh?”

“Mo Xiuchen, don’t talk nonsense, I am alone,” Luo Haofeng’s voice carried a hint of annoyance, very stern.

Ignoring the knocking outside, he asked, “What’s the matter for calling so late?”

“I originally wanted to tell you about Bai Xiaoxiao, but since you’re feeling unwell, go back to sleep. I’ll call you another day.” Mo Xiuchen spoke and, without waiting for Luo Haofeng to respond, he hung up.

“Mo Xiuchen…”
In City B, Luo Haofeng glared at the disconnected phone, annoyed. Mo Xiuchen, that detestable guy, hanging up mid-conversation.

Outside the door, Qi Meiling’s voice continued, filtering through the door, “Brother Haofeng, please open the door, I’ve brought you some cold medicine.”
