Chapter 370: Chapter 370: They’re Having An Affair! Closing In Step By Step

A loud round of applause echoed in his ears. Li Lingyang spoke with a half-smile, "I helped you time it—two minutes and ten seconds. You really live up to the name ’King.’ Efficient as always!"

The hacker who suddenly ambushed him was a trap deliberately set up by his deadbeat dad...

And he actually fell for it!

Damn...

Chen Bao’s face was full of black lines, and the corner of his eye twitched twice. He stubbornly retorted, "Deadbeat dad, what are you talking about? I don’t understand!"

"Kid, at this point, are you still playing games with me?"

Li Lingyang raised his eyebrows and laid it all bare, grinning as he stated the facts, "Stop pretending. I know you’re King!!"

Chen Bao, "..."

He thought he had kept his identity tightly under wraps.

Never did he expect to be exposed anyway...

His mood suddenly turned overcast, and with a gloomy face, he couldn’t help but turn his head to ask, "How did you figure it out?"

Li Lingyang, smug as ever, laughed. "A few days ago, I discovered you visited Reykjavik’s blown-up forum."

The next day, Chen Bao came running to check on him.

Recollecting the clues he’d pieced together from his past encounters with King—the young age and unwavering defense of Ning Yichu...

Li Lingyang began to suspect!

Chen Bao was speechless. He hadn’t expected the slip-up to come from this. Truly, he’d missed one tiny detail!

Infuriated, he puffed his cheeks and said, "But this doesn’t prove I’m King. Your evidence is too flimsy. Could’ve been someone else."

"What you said is correct. I also had my doubts, but..."

Li Lingyang curled his lips, explaining slowly, "I’ve tracked Chu Chu’s whereabouts. Wherever she went, King was always nearby, knowing every detail of her movements. Clearly, the relationship is extraordinary. But during my time in Reykjavik, I haven’t noticed anyone like that around her."

He had once suspected Mo Baiyou too.

But evidently, the two operated on entirely different wavelengths!

Chen Bao froze, suddenly comprehending the implication of his father’s words.

Deadbeat dad had pored over countless clues, connecting the dots piece by piece until suspicion pointed directly at him!

It wasn’t just the forum...

Chen Bao pursed his lips, his face full of frustration. "If I’d known sooner, I would’ve been more careful."

Li Lingyang watched his son’s dissatisfied expression, finding it amusing. The smirk on his thin lips deepened.

"You little rascal, do you know how many of my plans you’ve ruined before? I haven’t even settled accounts with you yet."

"That’s because you weren’t fair first, OK?"

Chen Bao decided to drop the act, going straight for the reveal. "Every time I made a move, it was to enforce justice!"

"..." Li Lingyang choked.

"I won’t hold grudges over the past, but tell me—how’d you learn these skills all by yourself?"

To his knowledge, there weren’t any tech whizzes in Chu Chu’s circle.

Chen Bao snorted lightly, a little pleased with himself, as he swung his legs on a small stool.

"I’ve been interested in computers since I was small. I watched plenty of coding videos online and just figured it out bit by bit. Isn’t that simple? You only need hands for it. Deadbeat dad, you didn’t hire a teacher, did you?"

"..." This brat was really cheeky.

Li Lingyang, proud of himself, said, "I taught myself during college. If we’re talking talent, you got it from me!"

Speechless, Chen Bao’s eye twitched furiously. "I take after mom more, for the record!"

Before, when facing off with King, Li Lingyang remained his adversary, but it hadn’t stopped him from appreciating King’s talents.

Now, with Chen Bao’s identity laid bare, his curiosity toward this son only grew.

He proactively started sharing hacking techniques with him.

Chen Bao didn’t hold back either, openly discussing his insights and programs.

The estrangement between father and son unexpectedly began to bridge, their conversations increasing, creating moments of unexpected harmony.

...

Over on Ning Yichu’s side.

Following Mo Baiyou’s call, she arrived at the police station.

The hall was solemn and serious, officers busy with their tasks, calls ringing incessantly.

She headed upstairs to the chief’s office on the second floor and found Mo Baiyou inside as expected.

He was dressed simply, white shirt and black slacks, exuding elegance. Coupled with his refined and handsome features, he bore the dignified demeanor of a gentleman, warm as jade.

At that moment, he was sitting in the square-shaped office, chatting with the chief.

Upon hearing a sound, he exclaimed delightedly, "Chu Chu, you’re here!"

"Mr. Mo, what news did you uncover?"

Ever since suspecting discrepancies in the surgery from years ago, Ning Yichu had felt uneasy.

She couldn’t sleep peacefully until she’d solved this mystery.

So upon seeing Mo Baiyou, she hurriedly asked.

"Chu Chu, the police tracked down the assassin who killed Doctor Antony, based on Annette’s lead!"

Mo Baiyou’s face was brimming with restrained excitement. "They’re being held in the first-floor interrogation room now."

But Ning Yichu frowned immediately. "Would these assassins even talk?"

Or perhaps, did they know any valuable information at all?

They’d captured mercenaries and killers before, but all of them either professed ignorance or refused to talk.

Nothing but pawns in the hands of their masterminds.

Mo Baiyou understood her concerns. "Chu Chu, this group is different from the previous ones. They all came from the Imperial City. Moreover, one of the mercenaries who tried to assassinate Chen Bao pointed at one of them, saying it was the same person who sent them here!"

This was indeed a significant breakthrough.

Ning Yichu, hearing this, turned pale and quickly started analyzing.

"This group is connected with the earlier mercenaries. And that incident during my childbirth might very well have been Shen Jun’s doing... working with Shen Jiangqing!"

"Exactly!" Mo Baiyou nodded. "Chu Chu, do you recall those bots that suddenly surfaced during your online harassment? There was a mysterious figure aiding Shen Jiangqing. When we consider these recent accidents, it’s clear that this person wields considerable power in the Imperial City."

A figure in the Imperial City, closely tied to Shen Jiangqing, and highly influential...

A series of names flashed through Ning Yichu’s mind, and she felt a pang of dread.

"Mr. Mo, there’s something you might not know."

Mo Baiyou frowned. "Hmm?"

"Shen Jiangqing and Li Lingyang’s brother, Li Jingtian, had an affair."

Though the fallout was ugly, there was no guarantee they hadn’t resumed their collusion.

During her harassment incident, Ning Yichu initially assumed Shen Jiangqing and Ji Shiwang were conspiring to use Ji Family resources for their schemes.

But taking a broader perspective, it seemed much more complicated.

Li Jingtian’s affair with Shen Jiangqing called into question the entire Li Family’s reputation. Given that Li Lingyang had intentionally concealed this scandal, Mo Baiyou naturally remained uninformed. Now, hearing this explosive revelation, he froze in place, genuinely shocked.

"Wasn’t Shen Jiangqing deeply obsessed with Li Lingyang?"

He remembered the woman being irrationally infatuated with Li Lingyang!

"Ha, a conniving woman like her—is she even capable of genuine affection? What she loves is his power, not him."

Li Lingyang, after all, was the true head of the Li Family.

Mo Baiyou stifled his shock, his mind suddenly bursting with new lines of thought.

"I’ve heard of Li Jingtian. He’s Li Family’s illegitimate son and doesn’t hold much status. He’s a director in the Li Group but barely holds any shares..."
