Chapter 326: Chapter 326 Setting a Trap for Scumbag Li! Hurry up...

"Wow, the hospital actually hosted an event just for me?" Ningning’s big eyes blinked with excitement, her brows arched in delight. "Since when did I become this important? Hehehe, it must be Uncle Mo Shuai secretly setting up this surprise for us. He’s just so amazing..."

Chen Bao: "..."

Ningning was overjoyed, holding soy milk in one hand and a stuffed bun in the other, eating with unrestrained happiness.

Chen Bao decided not to say another word and quietly sipped on his porridge.

There was no denying it—Scumbag Li had prepared the porridge exceptionally well.

Ning Yichu froze for a moment at Ningning’s words, then quickly realized something didn’t feel right. Yes, it was odd for such a lavish spread of Huaxia cuisine to suddenly appear in the hospital. It seemed suspicious.

Mo Baiyou usually purchased breakfast and brought it directly to the ward...

Recalling the strange dream from last night, a bold thought suddenly popped into her head—

Could it be Li Lingyang’s doing?

Did he come to Reykjavik?

Ning Yichu’s heart started to race.

At that exact moment, as if telepathically connected, Fan Yuke called her.

"I’m sorry, Chu Chu. I was dealing with something yesterday and didn’t really get to chat with you properly." As soon as the call connected, Ning Yichu heard her friend’s apologetic voice.

Ning Yichu didn’t take it to heart. Glancing at the children happily eating, she stepped out onto the balcony.

"Yuke, can you tell me what’s going on in the Imperial City right now?"

Fan Yuke immediately understood what she was referring to and confidently assured her, "You’re asking about that dog Li Lingyang, right? Don’t worry, everything in the Imperial City is normal. He’s been busy with company matters these past few days."

Ning Yichu was skeptical, "Are you sure?"

"I’m 100%, absolutely sure!" Fan Yuke’s tone was firm. "This is intel I bought from a well-connected paparazzo. Apparently, Li Lingyang is so worried about the power grid project running into issues again that he’s been personally overseeing everything."

As a high-profile figure in the Imperial City, even minor incidents involving Li Lingyang could spark trending topics online and churn out traffic.

There were still paparazzi brave enough to tail and photograph him.

It all seemed plausible, but for some inexplicable reason, Ning Yichu couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

However, hearing Fan Yuke’s confident tone made it difficult for her to press further and cause unwarranted worry. So, she shifted the topic, asking, "How are you doing lately? Facing any troubles?"

"That’s actually what I wanted to talk to you about!"

Fan Yuke, dressed in her costume, sat inside a trailer surrounded by an assortment of snacks and drinks.

"These past two days, the director and producer seem to have gone crazy. They’ve been treating me with special care—my night scenes have all been canceled and rescheduled to daytime. Not only that, but they’ve hired stunt doubles for my action-heavy scenes, and even swapped my box meals for nutritional ones! And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Honestly, I feel like a national treasure on this set right now!"

"Ha? A national treasure?"

"Yeah! You don’t believe me? Even I can’t believe it myself!"

"There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Do you think one of the investors has their eye on you?" Ning Yichu analyzed.

Fan Yuke thought of the investor backing the production—Mu Bailang? Impossible. Every time they met, it was either an argument or him picking on her. There was no way he’d treat her this kindly.

Fan Yuke’s silence over the line made Ning Yichu grow anxious. "Don’t tell me I’m right? Yuke, you need to be careful. Your mom still depends on you; you can’t let anything happen."

"No, no, don’t worry! It’s not that. I was just thinking about something else. Don’t worry, I’ve got a sense of what’s going on, and I won’t let myself get pushed around."

Ning Yichu hesitated for a moment. "Chen Bao and Mu Bailang have some level of acquaintance. Since Mu Bailang is a major player in the entertainment industry, if you do run into trouble, should I ask Chen Bao to reach out to him and see if he could help?"

"Absolutely not!" Fan Yuke nearly coughed up blood, hurriedly rejecting the idea.

Fearing she’d appear too anxious and cause misunderstanding, she quickly softened her tone and explained, "What I mean is, since you and Chen Bao, along with Ningning, have left the Imperial City, contacting Mu Bailang yourselves would just give Li Lingyang more of a reason to investigate you."

"But you..."

"Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’ve got it all under control."

"Alright, but if things get out of hand, you must tell me."

"Understood."

The two continued chatting for a while longer until Ning Yichu’s worry eased, even if just a bit. She felt guilty for leaving, knowing Fan Yuke was now facing everything alone.

That afternoon, Ning Yichu had Chen Bao accompany Ningning while she went to a shopping mall to buy an expensive skincare set as a gift for Shen Zilan.

"Auntie, thank you for sending that special medicine. Ningning’s condition improved greatly after taking it. Please accept this small token of my gratitude." Ning Yichu said sincerely, handing over the gift bag.

Shen Zilan, having upgraded her lifestyle and tastes, was aware that the skincare set wasn’t cheap. While it wasn’t extravagant, the thought behind it was evident.

Her eyes crinkled with delight.

"Chu Chu, you’re the savior of our family. Helping with this little thing was the least I could do. There’s no need to be so formal."

Ning Yichu smiled. "Auntie, please, you mustn’t be too formal with me either. This particular skincare line is ideal for your skin type. If you don’t accept it, I’ll feel terrible."

"You child..."

Seeing how adamant Ning Yichu was, Shen Zilan had no choice but to accept the gift, feigning mock annoyance. "Just this once, but no more next time. If you keep this up, don’t blame me if I get upset!"

Ning Yichu felt a greater closeness to her. "Got it, Auntie!"

Mo Baiyou stood nearby, his face alight with gentle amusement.

At the same time, a weight settled in his chest as a different concern surfaced.

After Chen Bao asked him about Herman yesterday, Mo Baiyou had sensed something off. Upon investigating, he learned that Herman had been beaten up after leaving the banquet.

Not only that, but Herman’s family had also been threatened!

Tracing the clues, he discovered that the man behind it was allegedly tied to Li Lingyang...

Was it Li Lingyang?

Had he already resolved the Li Group’s issues and followed them to Country A?

It seemed that Mo Baiyou needed to act fast if he wanted to win over Chu Chu before it was too late...

After chatting with Shen Zilan for a couple of hours and enjoying the afternoon tea she had prepared, they finally left.

"Mr. Mo, I can take a cab home on my own. There’s really no need for you to personally drop me off," Ning Yichu said, feeling he’d already spent too much time on her and should stay by Shen Zilan’s side instead.

Mo Baiyou, steering the car, curled his lips into a smile. "This is your Auntie’s command. How could I dare disobey? You know her regard for you far outweighs any care she shows me now..."

Ning Yichu teasingly raised her eyebrows. "Well, I am your savior."

"Chu Chu, once Ningning recovers, let me take you two on a trip to other cities in Country A." As he spoke, Mo Baiyou couldn’t help but gaze at her with heartfelt adoration.

"Sure! Ningning’s been begging to explore and eat her way through all of Country A. I just worry your work might keep you too busy to join us."

Mo Baiyou’s eyes grew even more tender. In a soft voice, he said, "I’m not busy these days at all."

Meanwhile...

Inside the presidential suite of Li Group’s chain hotel in Reykjavik...

As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon struggles against local snakes. Though Li Lingyang had arrived in Country A, lacking open opportunities to meet Ning Yichu didn’t mean he wasn’t making moves.

For days now, he’d been leveraging every connection to build alliances with the local officials.

With these resources now aligned, many things could proceed without obstruction.

"President Li, bad news—"

Special Assistant Xu suddenly burst in, banging on the door in a rush.

Li Lingyang frowned slightly. "What’s got you looking so pale?"

"President Li, it’s terrible! Charité Hospital just reported that Little Miss Ningning’s condition suddenly worsened—she passed out..."

What?!
