The door was closed again. Mo Nancheng picked up his wine glass and said to Mo Beichen, "Come, let's have a drink."
"This incident wasn't initiated by me." Mo Beichen's eyes darkened. After saying something seemingly out of context, he downed his drink in one gulp.
When Mo Donglin came in again, his face was clearly pale. He had no more heart for drinking and looked extremely restless.
"Let's call it a day and rest early. We'll get together again next time." Mo Nancheng suggested.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Donglin was the first to walk out.
Mo Beichen watched Mo Donglin's hasty back. He clenched his fist and then got up from the sofa.
In the hall.
Seeing Mo Donglin walking out with an abnormal expression, Liu Yinyin immediately stood up in surprise and walked over in a hurry. Before she could say anything.
Mo Donglin ordered, "Go back."
Then, without waiting for Liu Yinyin to say anything, he immediately stepped out.
Liu Yinyin was puzzled, but she sensed Mo Donglin's abnormality. Subconsciously, she stepped out in pursuit and asked, "Why are you walking so fast? What's wrong with you?"
Immediately, the sound of a car driving away came from outside.
When Xia Weilan retracted her surprised gaze, she saw Mo Beichen and Mo Nancheng walking out expressionlessly.
"What's going on? What happened?" Xia Weilan asked in surprise.
"A batch of fake goods has appeared in the company, and the quantity is huge. They've already been released into the market. Fortunately, we discovered it in time, but the company's reputation has still been affected to some extent. Now I have to rush back to deal with it." Mo Beichen said calmly.
"How could this happen? Have you found out who did it?" Xia Weilan asked again.
"We've already identified the target." Mo Beichen's words made everyone present tremble.
"Who is it?"
Mo Beichen didn't answer. Instead, he stepped out and said, "I have to go back to the company now. Weilan, I'll ask the driver to take you home."
Xia Weilan closed her mouth and watched Mo Beichen leave.
She knew the seriousness of this matter and couldn't help feeling anxious.
She rushed back to the Splendid Royal Mansion.
Xia Weilan sat on the sofa looking at the time.
She had waited for three hours, but there was still no sign of Mo Beichen coming back.
"Madam, you'd better go and rest first." Aunt Tian brought a cup of hot milk and placed it in front of Xia Weilan.
How could Xia Weilan fall asleep? Such a big thing had happened to the Mo Ying Group. Mo Beichen must be extremely busy now.
At the Mo Ying Group.
The board of directors was having a heated discussion. Mo Beichen made a decisive decision and slapped the table, saying, "I've already sent people to trace the origin of this batch of goods. We'll find out soon."
Mo Donglin arrived late. As soon as he came in, he heard this sentence and his heart skipped a beat.
"Why are you so late? What were you busy with?" Mo Beichen looked at Mo Donglin and suddenly questioned him.
Even the old master looked at Mo Donglin in surprise. Mo Donglin looked at Mo Beichen nervously. Just now, he had sent people to transfer that batch of goods immediately, but he found that his goods had been taken control of by someone else.
Mo Donglin forced a calm smile and said, "Of course I was investigating the origin of that batch of goods."
"Then have you found out?" Mo Beichen didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He looked at him calmly.
Master Mo was quick-witted and immediately noticed Mo Donglin's abnormality, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Until Xu Wei rushed in and announced in front of everyone, "We've already taken control of the other party's people, and some of them are from the branch company. The factory that manufactured the fake goods is near the branch company."
Recently, the performance reports submitted by the branch company managed by Mo Donglin had been quite impressive. But unexpectedly, many of the figures were faked. A part of the profit was supported by the sales of cheap counterfeit products.
"What's going on, Donglin!" Master Mo suddenly questioned.
All the directors who had been chattering before fell silent and looked at Mo Donglin, who was standing still on the spot. He was like a lifeless doll, expressionless and motionless, just standing there in a stalemate.
No one knew why the usually steady and reliable Mo Donglin would suddenly falsify accounts and use such extreme means.
Moreover, no one could figure out why in just one night, all of Mo Donglin's evidence had been taken control of by Xu Wei's people, even some confidential documents.
All this made people can't help but think of Mo Beichen, who was always in control.
Mo Donglin was fired.
Mo Beichen looked calm, showing almost no reaction.
At the Splendid Royal Mansion.
It was two o'clock when Mo Beichen walked in from outside under the stars and moon.
In the hall, Xia Weilan had fallen asleep on the sofa.
Under the hazy light, Xia Weilan's skin reflected the cold light, making her skin look delicate and charming. Even her charming lips were as beautiful as a delicate flower in a painting.
Countless emotions in Mo Beichen's heart suddenly turned into pity. He walked over gently.
Just as he was about to pick her up, Xia Weilan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him in surprise, saying, "You're back."
She naturally grabbed his hand and rubbed against him softly in his arms, asking, "Are you tired?"
Mo Beichen lowered his eyes and looked at her silently. He couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth and said, "Does my wife wait to draw a bath for me?"
Since he could still make jokes, it meant there wasn't a big problem. Xia Weilan secretly heaved a sigh of relief and immediately stood up full of energy, saying, "Okay, I'll go right away."
As soon as she finished speaking, before Mo Beichen could react, the sound of her footsteps echoed as she rushed upstairs.
Mo Beichen glanced at the wall clock. It was already so late. Did she stay up just because she was worried about him?
Mo Beichen walked into the bedroom. Immediately, the sound of running water came from the room. A small figure was squatting beside the bathtub, testing the temperature of the water.
The little figure suddenly turned around and showed a dazzling smile, as if it could melt everything. She said, "It's ready. You can take a bath now."
She walked out without asking him what had happened. She just wanted to wash away his fatigue.
But the next second, Xia Weilan was embraced in his arms.
His big hand pressed on her shoulder, gently stroking her hair. He lifted her chin, making her look up at him. Mo Beichen was not good at expressing himself. He could only show his feelings through actions, so he kissed her.
On the same day.
Xia Ruolin had an extremely difficult time.
First, she was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Then, in the middle of the night, she was bailed out on the pretext of taking care of her pregnancy.
In the car, Xia Ruolin's heart was as dead as still water. She had already been sentenced. What was the use of bailing her out now?
What on earth was Ouyang Mingqi doing?
Why didn't he save her?
Xia Ruolin wasn't sent back to the Ouyang family's house. Instead, she was taken to a secret house near the Ouyang family's house.
"Madam, the master asks you to rest here and take good care of the baby. He'll come to see you when he's free."
The bodyguard said coldly. After finishing his business, he closed the door.
"Where is he? Come back here!" Xia Ruolin tried to go out a bit late. But she found that she couldn't get out at all.
"How could this happen? Where's my husband? I want to see my husband." Xia Ruolin murmured to herself. When she was tired of talking, she lay on the bed and fell asleep tiredly.
She had no idea that at this moment, the Ouyang family's house was brightly lit, and everyone was accusing Xia Ruolin.
"How could our family have married such a murderer? Now, the company's stocks have been falling. It's on the verge of bankruptcy." Ouyang's mother said hatefully.
"I'll figure out a way." Ouyang Mingqi said expressionlessly.
"What way? You should divorce her right away. Don't keep the child of a murderer. You're such a good person. How could you marry such a thing?" Ouyang's mother said unwillingly.
No one knew where so many rumors had come from outside, saying that Ouyang Mingqi had connived at his wife's crime and then covered it up. They were as ugly as they could be. If they had known earlier, they should have let Xia Ruolin abort the child and not let her into the Ouyang family.
"We can't divorce. If we do, it'll be like abandoning my wife and child." Ouyang Mingqi said calmly, "I'll participate in more charity activities in the next few days to save our reputation."
Now Ouyang Mingqi was also extremely troubled. The company was in a serious economic crisis, and his prestige in the company had been greatly affected. He had to find a way to remedy the situation.
