Li Moyan originally wanted to go to the Li Corporation's office building with him but was sent home by Li Mohan. Ye Huohuo also gave him a few talismans and asked him to stick one on each door after he returned.
Just in case.
When Li Mohan's car was still some distance from the company building, Ye Huohuo stopped him. She asked him to park the car near a square because it directly faced the building, making everything about the building visible at a glance.
The dozens of floors of the building were all within sight.
"What? Is something wrong?" Li Mohan finally asked, looking at Ye Huohuo's rather solemn face since she came out of the film set.
Ye Huohuo's eyes were fixed on the top of the building, as if some monster was lurking there. "Think back, have you offended anyone? Or do you have any rivals in the business world who have always wanted to bring down your Li Corporation?"
Li Mohan's gaze deepened. "In the martial world, one is not always in control of oneself. For the Li family to become so large, it naturally affects the interests of some people. If it's fair competition and the outcome is based on ability, there's nothing to complain about if they lose.
But if they dare to hurt my family, ..."
Li Mohan didn't finish his sentence, but Ye Huohuo felt a chilling coldness, and her hair stood on end.
She glanced at the person beside her from the corner of her eye. Fortunately, they lived in a peaceful era. If they lived in turbulent times, this person in front of her would undoubtedly be someone who could make people vanish with a wave of his hand.
This killing intent was no less than that of Acheng, who had actually killed someone.
Li Mohan's gaze sharpened. He picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Investigate all businesses that have had business conflicts with Li Corporation in Haicheng in recent years and send me the detailed information."
Ye Huohuo shifted her gaze from the building to Li Mohan. Her eyes moved over his brows several times, and she finally let out a soft sigh. "Fortunately, there is no dark aura obscuring your brows. It seems to be related to your current good fortune. However, you cannot let your guard down. Li Moyan's matter has been resolved. I specifically looked at his complexion just now, and the dark aura has dissipated.
But the other members of the Li family must also be careful. If the opponent is targeting the entire Li family, they will never stop here. They might strike at them again."
Li Mohan nodded, clearly agreeing with Ye Huohuo's guess.
"There should be a hidden manipulator behind all of this. Starting from that peach blossom disaster I encountered yesterday, then Grandpa encountering that ghost painting, followed by the company's incident, and then Moyan's situation...
That item disguised as a table lamp must have been deliberately done by someone.
A series of incidents all happening to the Li family is definitely not a coincidence. Someone with the ability and means to do this would never be an insignificant figure."
After speaking, he looked at Ye Huohuo. "I always feel that the opponent is targeting our Li family like this, and it's not just about business. Could there be some other conspiracy?
I don't understand these ghostly matters. What do you think?"
Ye Huohuo was somewhat surprised that he would ask such a question, as he didn't understand Feng Shui or metaphysics. However, his extraordinary insight allowed him to sense something unusual.
Ye Huohuo suddenly understood that Li Mohan's current achievements were not solely due to his luck.
It was more about his ability, that ability to foresee everything.
"You..." Ye Huohuo's eyes were filled with admiration.
"Hmm?" Li Mohan was stunned by her gaze. What was this little girl up to? What kind of look was that?
Ye Huohuo patted Li Mohan's shoulder as if an adult was praising a child. "You are very good! Teachable!"
Li Mohan felt like several crows flew over his head. He chuckled, "Are you complimenting me?"
"Otherwise? When I do something right, my master praises me like this! Ah! I patted the wrong spot, it should be like this!" Ye Huohuo said earnestly, patting Li Mohan's head as she spoke.
"Master always pats my head when she praises me!" she said with a serious, small face.
Li Mohan couldn't tell if she was joking or being serious for a moment. However, her demeanor made his heart tingle. Looking at her soft lips, he wanted to kiss her and taste her.
He quickly averted his gaze. Was it the姻缘线 (yīnyuánxiàn - fate/affinity thread) at work again? He cleared his throat.
"What's your plan for the next step?" Li Mohan asked.
Ye Huohuo's gaze returned to the tall building of Li Corporation, focusing on the rooftop.
"Go there!"
Li Mohan followed her gaze. "The building's rooftop?"
Ye Huohuo narrowed her eyes but said nothing.
Soon, they entered the building. The office staff of Li Corporation saluted and made way as soon as they saw President Li arrive.
Although Li Mohan was cold, he politely nodded and returned the greetings to his enthusiastic subordinates.
Then, he led Ye Huohuo into the innermost elevator.
Everyone else's eyes widened. "Damn, who is that woman? She has such great influence that she can ride in the same elevator as President Li. That's President Li's exclusive elevator. Except for important guests, no one dares to take that elevator."
"Don't you know? It just came out online that President Li has a girlfriend. She's very young and seems to be a student."
"Could it be the one who just went in? She's good-looking, but she looks quite ordinary. I'm not any worse than her!"
"..."
The hall immediately became chaotic, with everyone saying something.
Ye Huohuo had sharp hearing. Before the elevator doors were fully closed, she had heard most of what they were saying.
She chuckled inwardly. It seemed that being Li Mohan's nominal wife made her an enemy everywhere.
She didn't know what kind of jealous situations she would encounter in the future.
Shaking her head and chuckling, she took out the compass from her powder compact.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Mohan saw Ye Huohuo behind him from the mirrored steel plate surface inside the elevator. Seeing her pursed lips and shaking her head with a light chuckle, he was somewhat puzzled.
"It's nothing, just thinking about something interesting!" Ye Huohuo looked at the rising numbers. There were still over thirty floors. Since she was idle, her eyes rolled.
"President Li, I think you need to pay me extra!"
"Hmm?" Li Mohan turned his head to look at her in confusion. "Pay me what money?"
"I can not charge you for handling these matters for the Li family. After all, I'm borrowing your luck, so consider it repaying the favor. But for having to endure the targeting of those women and sheltering you from the storm, shouldn't you give me some hard-earned money?" Ye Huohuo blinked her cat-like eyes, her gaze filled with cunning like a fox.
Li Moyan was amused by her spirited expression. He appraised her from head to toe. "You sheltered me from the storm? What do you mean?"
"President Li, are you genuinely unaware or just pretending to be confused? What does the disturbance in the mall today have to do with me? Isn't it because those who admire you mistakenly thought I blocked their pursuit of you, treating me as a hypothetical enemy and deliberately targeting me?"
"Are you referring to Sun Jinyu?" Li Mohan really started to ponder. "She's not. She only wants to join Li Corporation's headquarters. Her targeting you today is probably because of what happened to her father yesterday. After all, you exposed her father's matter of finding that Master Peng."
"You..." Ye Huohuo's gaze swept over Li Mohan's incredibly handsome face a few times, raised an eyebrow, and then she closed her mouth. Forget it, if he didn't believe her, why should she waste her breath?
However, her gaze fell on his mid-section, paused, and she stared intently for a long time.
"What are you looking at?" Li Mohan, such a calm person, felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at so nakedly by her.
"Is there someone you like in your heart?" Ye Huohuo asked this question with an indescribable feeling in her heart.
