After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage
Chapter 311: Yingying, you have to compensate me for my babies!

Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Yingying, you have to compensate me for my babies!

In the video, Fan YuKe stiffened briefly, looking unnaturally rigid.

A second later, she returned to normal.

"After my mom took the special medicine, her condition improved somewhat. As for the money, the agent isn’t in a hurry, and I’ll pay it back in installments slowly. Don’t worry about me."

"That works. If anything comes up, just give me a call."

The two chatted for a while longer before finally hanging up the call.

Fan YuKe exhaled heavily, feeling relieved.

Indeed, one lie often requires more lies to cover it up...

Especially when lying to Chu Chu; the guilt in her heart was overwhelming.

The phone in her palm suddenly buzzed twice.

Fan YuKe lowered her head to look at the screen and saw a notification from Mu Bailang on VX.

"Don’t forget you need to come home tomorrow night!"

She typed a reply with exasperation, "You already reminded me last night! I got it, I got it, I saw it with both eyes, okay?"

Mu Bailang was sitting in the back seat of a Bentley, dressed in a floral shirt, lazily leaning against the seat.

Upon seeing her message, his face darkened. "You saw it but didn’t reply to me?"

"Didn’t you see the ’1’? It means I’ve already received it."

Fan YuKe replied again, "Don’t tell me you don’t even know that. Are you living under a rock?"

This woman—who taught her how to be so infuriating?

"Fan YuKe, go crawl away, will you?"

"Someone’s angry now, but I won’t name names."

She even sent a cheeky sticker of someone laughing behind their hand in a provocative manner.

"..." Mu Bailang almost lost his composure and sent several consecutive messages in retaliation.

But on her end, Fan YuKe stopped replying, making his mood even gloomier...

Does she even remember she’s supposed to be the underdog here?

Forget it.

He decided to be the bigger person and let it slide...

Afterward, as he thought about the task Li Lingyang had assigned to him, a cold glint flashed in his eyes...

...

Late at night.

At the Li Mansion, inside the study.

Li Lingyang was still bent over his desk, his dark eyes fixed intensely on the screen, his fingers clattering away at the keyboard.

It was unclear how much time had passed in the quiet of the night...

Li Lingyang’s thoughts began drifting to Ning Yichu and the children.

A deep yearning rose up like tidal waves!!

He had already sent people to trace Mo Baiyou’s connections, refusing to believe that Mo Baiyou wouldn’t leave behind even a single clue!

Time ticked by second by second; as the night deepened, the air grew colder, and the shadows outside darkened like ink.

Li Lingyang finally finished revising the project plan. Now, everything was ready—only the final push was needed...

The solid wood desk suddenly vibrated with the ringing of his phone—it was Mu Bailang calling!

Li Lingyang asked, "How did it go?"

"Take a guess..." Mu Bailang was tipsy and deliberately teasing him.

Li Lingyang’s brow twitched in irritation. "Cut the crap and just tell me!"

"I personally took care of it, of course. It’s done."

"Good. Thank you for your hard work."

A dark gleam flickered in Li Lingyang’s deep black eyes.

Chu Chu, the babies...

Wait for me.

Once everything is settled on this end, I’ll find you soon!

...

Back to Ning Yichu.

After ending her video call with Fan YuKe, she walked back in from the balcony.

She saw Ningning lying on the sofa, holding a tablet.

"What are you playing?" Ning Yichu walked over, sitting beside her, speaking gently.

"Mommy, I’m actually chatting with Doudou... But don’t worry, I didn’t reveal our location. Doudou understands our situation and didn’t ask much."

"Mommy won’t interfere with who you make friends with, as long as you’re aware and careful," Ning Yichu said.

Although Doudou was Li Lingyang and Shen Jiangqing’s daughter, the little girl was incredibly pure and kind, almost like an angel, naturally drawing people close to her.

Ningning’s tablet had been specially configured by Chen Bao.

Even if Li Lingyang investigated, he wouldn’t find anything...

Ningning grinned sweetly, "Got it, Mommy!"

"Chu Chu, is everything settled on your end?" Mo Baiyou’s calm and magnetic voice suddenly came from the living room.

Ning Yichu looked up to see his refined and handsome face.

"It’s more or less settled," she replied.

Mo Baiyou continued, "I’ve also arranged everything at the hospital where Ningning had surgery. You can head over tomorrow morning for her check-up."

"Good. I’ll follow your lead."

"There’s one more thing I need to tell you," he added.

Ning Yichu noticed his serious expression and felt her heart sink. "Has Li Lingyang found us already?"

"No." Mo Baiyou’s lips curved slightly upward before revealing, "It’s the investigator we tracked—the one from M Nation. He’s dead."

Ning Yichu’s pupils widened in shock. "Dead? How did he die?"

"He had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Our team didn’t even have a chance to interrogate him before he was sent to the morgue."

That’s awfully coincidental.

"Did he have a history of cerebral hemorrhages?"

"No."

"So it’s highly likely this was deliberate?"

Mo Baiyou narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp with suspicion. "That possibility can’t be ruled out. It’s likely someone else got to him before we did."

Whoever they were, they clearly had sharp intelligence and were intent on covering their tracks. But who?

Regardless, Ning Yichu was almost certain they were in Imperial City!

And were likely lurking close by...

...

Imperial City.

As dawn broke, Li Lingyang got out of bed.

After organizing his documents, he descended the ornate wooden staircase and bumped into Old Madam Li.

She seemed to be waiting deliberately to intercept him.

"Good morning, Grandma," he greeted.

"Not good at all. I’m far from fine. Chu Chu ran away with my precious great-grandsons and great-granddaughters!" Granny Li glared at Li Lingyang, looking for all the world like a scorned woman.

"Tell me, what unspeakable thing have you done this time? What kind of grandson did I end up with? Give me back my precious babies!"

Dealing with Granny Li’s theatrics was truly exasperating for Li Lingyang.

Everyone else could be reasoned with, but the elderly couldn’t be subjected to stress.

"Alright, alright. Don’t worry. I promise I’ll bring them back," he reassured.

"Promises? How many times have you given promises? If they were worth anything, you wouldn’t be separated from your wife and kids right now!" Granny Li retorted angrily.

Li Lingyang felt his temples pulse. "This time, I mean it."

"Hmph, you brat. Hurry up and fix your company problems and bring my grandchildren back!" Granny Li snapped.

Though she seemed scatterbrained, she wasn’t out of touch—she knew about the turmoil in Li Group.

To her credit, her eldest great-grandson was quite impressive!

Singlehandedly, he had thrown the Li Group into disarray, teaching Li Lingyang a lesson.

He truly was Chu Chu’s son!

Li Lingyang gave a slight nod, his eyes gleaming with a determined sharpness.

...

A few days later.

The Li Group convened another board meeting.

"President Li claimed he could resolve the power grid project. How many days has it been? Why haven’t we heard anything?"

"Could he just be stalling to buy time?"

"Who knows? This morning, the company’s core data breach made headlines, citizens lost trust, and our stock prices plummeted by two points..."

One ripple truly affected the entire pond.

If this dragged on for too long, it might escalate into a serious crisis!

Predictably, when profits were at stake, even the previously neutral board members couldn’t remain impartial.

"Has President Li been notified of the board meeting? It’s already ten o’clock; why hasn’t he shown up?"

"His phone is off. Who knows what he’s doing... Ha, big talk earlier, and now he’s vanished. Ridiculous."

Li Jianbin’s head throbbed from the noise, his face betraying irritation.

Do these directors know where they are?

One after another, they were mouthing off like this was some marketplace!

Just before he could explode, Li Jingtian suddenly stood up from his seat on the left, instantly silencing the room.
