While boarding the plane, Mo Beichen made a phone call:
"Find out who has been harassing my wife recently."
In the dimly - lit corner, half of Mo Beichen's face was in the shadow and half was under the light. He seemed to be wrapped in a cold chill, like a ghostly fiend lurking in the night.
The person on the other end obviously didn't expect such an order. He was stunned for a moment before respectfully taking the command.
That night, as soon as Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen arrived at the hotel, they saw the lobby manager walking towards them with a gift box in his hands.
The lobby manager looked respectful and smiled as he said to Xia Weilan:
"Ms. Xia, you've finally arrived. This is a gift someone asked me to give you just now."
Having had a similar experience before, Xia Weilan immediately became alert. She calmly asked:
"Who asked you to deliver this?"
Mo Beichen also shot a sharp look at the manager. His eyes were as cold as knives, instantly making the whole lobby feel like it had dropped into the depths of an icy abyss.
Seeing their serious expressions, the manager also got nervous. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and explained:
"It was a young man who gave this order and paid me a large sum of money. Ms. Xia, this..."
The manager was in a dilemma holding the gift box. Finally, he hesitated and said, "If you don't want it, Ms. Xia, I'll just dispose of it."
"Throw it away!" Mo Beichen suddenly ordered.
"Yes, yes, yes." The manager quickly nodded and didn't dare to delay. He took the gift box and walked towards the trash can.
"Hubby..." Seeing Mo Beichen's gloomy expression, Xia Weilan quickly held his arm and comforted him,
"If I find out who's playing these pranks, I'll break that guy's legs!"
Hearing this, Mo Beichen's expression softened a bit. They entered the presidential suite. Mo Beichen told Xia Weilan to rest first and then went out.
In the lobby, Mo Beichen directly ordered, "Check the surveillance."
Without hesitation, the manager led Mo Beichen to the monitoring room. On the screen, a man wearing a hat walked directly up to the manager, dropped the gift box and the payment, and then walked away without looking back.
Even after the video ended, Mo Beichen still couldn't figure out who this person was.
He seemed to be a local, definitely not the mastermind behind all this.
After leaving the monitoring room, Mo Beichen sent out the video of the man and then made a phone call:
"Find out who this man was working for. Also, find out who sent the flowers to the villa last time. And check if there's anyone who has been going to the same places as me recently."
Mo Beichen didn't believe that with so many clues, he couldn't find out the mastermind.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Mo Beichen finished speaking, the person on the other end said:
"Mr. Mo, we've already found out and were just about to report to you. The flowers sent to the villa before were in the name of a local. We found this person, and he said he was instructed by a young master from out of town. Later, we found that Ouyang Mingqi always took the same flights as you. We showed the flower - deliverer Ouyang Mingqi's photo, and he said it was Ouyang Mingqi who told him to do it."
Hearing this, Mo Beichen's deep eyes became even more obscure. He directly hung up the phone and sneered.
It was actually Ouyang Mingqi. This guy was always good at deceiving people with his holy and noble appearance. Has he finally revealed his true colors?
Not long after, a message about Ouyang Mingqi's recent activities appeared on Mo Beichen's phone. After reading it, Mo Beichen was filled with anger because Ouyang Mingqi was staying in the hotel opposite.
When Mo Beichen returned to the room, Xia Weilan was holding two invitations in her hand.
"You're back!" Xia Weilan stood up from the sofa and waved the two tickets in her hand.
"The hotel waiter just brought these two invitations to the bonfire party as an apology for what happened before. I checked. It's a party at 9 p.m. tonight."
Xia Weilan's face was full of excitement. She was clearly looking forward to this kind of local event, so she quickly asked Mo Beichen:
"Shall we go there tonight? It's not far away."
Mo Beichen had a hunch that this must be another trick by Ouyang Mingqi. Since that was the case, he decided to go and see what tricks Ouyang Mingqi was up to.
"Okay. We'll go there after we freshen up." Mo Beichen looked calm. He reached out and tapped Xia Weilan's nose. Seeing her bright eyes, he thought she was extremely cute.
After that, Xia Weilan rushed into the bathroom and hummed songs from time to time. Mo Beichen sat on the edge of the bed outside. His well - defined fingers gently tapped out a rhythm. He looked like he was in a trance, his expression solemn, and the storm in his eyes was intensifying.
The bonfire party was on the nearby beach.
Both Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen were dressed casually. However, when they appeared, the local people were all stunned. They stared at the handsome man and the beautiful woman in disbelief.
There were quite a few tourists in this area usually, but few were as outstanding as the two who came today.
"There are so many people here!" Xia Weilan said in surprise as she looked at the scene in front of her. There was a bonfire every few meters, and many people were sitting around each one. There was also self - service barbecue, and local people were singing and playing ethnic songs.
Although she couldn't understand the lyrics, Xia Weilan still dragged Mo Beichen over.
"Here, hubby, try this." While watching the performance, Xia Weilan picked up a freshly roasted chicken and offered it to Mo Beichen.
Mo Beichen had been observing his surroundings and had no intention of enjoying the show. Seeing the food Xia Weilan offered, he frowned slightly, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
After all, he was very particular about his diet and would never eat food that didn't meet the hygiene standards, especially things cooked over charcoal.
Xia Weilan remembered that Mo Beichen never ate such food. She awkwardly withdrew her hand and said:
"Then I'll eat it myself."
Seeing her slightly disappointed expression, Mo Beichen felt a twinge of pain in his heart. He snatched the food from her hand and without hesitation put it into his mouth and took a small bite.
Seeing him eating calmly, Xia Weilan said with a smile in her eyes:
"I thought you wouldn't eat this kind of stuff."
"I'd eat it even if it were poison as long as it's from you." Mo Beichen looked at her, his deep eyes fixed on her face.
Not far away, a young man frowned angrily as he watched their interaction. This man was Ouyang Mingqi. He had been constantly sending people to harass them, so why hadn't they had a fight yet? Instead, they seemed so in love!
These days, Ouyang Mingqi had been personally following them and had put in a lot of effort to create a rift between them. Now he felt annoyed and frustrated.
