Chapter 1750: Don't You Dare Seduce Me

Jiang Motian's eyes regained their sparkle.

Her voice, however, carried a hint of accusation: "You finally called me back! Why couldn't I reach you yesterday?"

"I had some things to take care of, so my phone was on silent the whole time."

Just... just some things?

Jiang Motian thought of the situation with the West Hall Master and his daughter, so she reined in her temper and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"I'm doing great, just didn't sleep all night."

What, you didn't sleep all night!?

Jiang Motian grew anxious; clutching her phone, she ordered, "Do you think your body is made of iron? Go to sleep right now, and don't you dare do anything else!"

"I can't do that, I have to chat with my girlfriend, don't I?"

"Thanks, but no need. Go get some rest, and we'll talk again when you wake up!"

"Are you really not going to say a few more words to me?"

Xie Wanyi's voice suddenly turned deep.

It sounded inexplicably... sexy.

This voice made Jiang Motian, on the other end of the line, fall silent.

The next instant...

"Don't you dare seduce me!"

After saying this, Jiang Motian hung up the phone in a fit of exasperation.

Her reaction made Xie Wanyi chuckle.

However, after he put down his phone, the relaxed smile on his face vanished.

Xiaolin walked over quickly and said with a grave expression, "We found it!"

Just as Li Xingyan had said, the car accident involving Xu Nianxin was not their doing.

Faced with this turn of events, Xie Wanyi had to uncover the truth.

And right now, the truth was in Xiaolin's hands.

Xie Wanyi's expression turned serious as he asked, "What is it?"

"The West Hall Master's driver was blinded for a short time by high-beam lights from the opposite direction."

At the time, they were fleeing for their lives.

The car was moving extremely fast.

Under such circumstances, being unable to see the road clearly would certainly make the driver panic.

A slight misoperation would lead to a car accident.

In fact, Xu Nianxin did indeed suffer a car accident.

It was a miracle she hadn't died.

Xie Wanyi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Can you find out who used the high beams?"

"On the surveillance footage, the face is blurred and the license plate is fake; we can't find any useful information."

"Hmph, they really left no trace."

Xiaolin could sense that Xie Wanyi was feeling emotional.

He hurriedly said, "It's impossible for it to be truly seamless. As long as we investigate carefully, we will definitely find clues!"

"No need."

Huh?

Xie Wanyi's reply caught Xiaolin by surprise.

He blinked and asked, "Why not investigate?"

Because...

Xie Wanyi had already deduced the mastermind from this familiar style of doing things!

He narrowed his eyes slightly, then turned his head to look out the window.

Under the same blue sky, Li Shu was sitting in a wheelchair, watering several pots of blooming Chinese roses.

Ping Ge stood behind Li Shu.

He lowered his head and reported, "Everything proceeded according to plan."

Li Shu finished watering the flowers and picked up a pair of shears to trim the branches and leaves.

He added, "Very good, you've worked hard too."

"It is no hardship to work for you."

"I heard that you met with Wanyi earlier?"

Li Shu brought this up as if it were a casual remark.

But Ping Ge panicked for a split second.

Afterward, he lowered his head slightly and replied, "Wanyi was determined to wipe out the West Hall Master, and I was worried he would get in the way, so I gave him a reminder."

After saying this, Ping Ge lowered his head even further and asked, "Is there a problem with me doing that?"

"I wouldn't say there's a problem, but don't do it again next time. Wanyi is very clever; he will get suspicious."

"But I feel like he is already suspicious. He... discovered that I was in contact with the West Hall Master."

They had originally wanted to keep this matter from Xie Wanyi.

Now that he knew, there was no telling what trouble might arise.

Yet Li Shu didn't seem to mind, smiling as he said, "He is still as sharp as ever."

This relaxed attitude, tinged with a hint of favoritism, made Ping Ge frown slightly.

But the next instant, the furrow between his brows vanished.

Ping Ge said calmly, "Wanyi is growing fast and has many ideas. He was already uninhibited, and now, he fears nothing at all."

This sounded as if it were praising Xie Wanyi.

Yet, if one thought about it carefully, one could sense the hostility within it.

Li Shu, however, seemed not to hear anything unusual and said with a smile, "How could he fear nothing? He now has a weakness."

Upon hearing this, Ping Ge understood what Li Shu meant.

Instantly, he could no longer hide his dissatisfaction with Xie Wanyi.

He opened his mouth and said coldly, "Of all people to find, he just had to find a woman from the Li Family!"

"That is nothing; she can still be used for my purposes."

"But love is what wears down a person's will the most. Are you sure Xie Wanyi can still be your most obedient blade?"

"As long as the blade is still in my hand, he will have to be obedient even if he doesn't want to be."

"But if a weapon is too sharp, while it hurts others, it may also hurt oneself!"

"Heh, do you have no confidence in me?"

Ping Ge realized he had spoken out of turn and hurriedly lowered his head, saying, "I dare not."

Li Shu turned his head to stare at Ping Ge and asked with some curiosity, "What is wrong with you? Why do you have more and more opinions about Wanyi?"

Because...

Ping Ge looked up and voiced his thoughts: "Wanyi has too many ideas of his own; it is very easy for him to become uncontrollable!"

If he is uncontrollable, trouble will arise.

And such a person certainly cannot be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.

But Li Shu, however...

Ping Ge frowned and looked at Li Shu.

Li Shu said dismissively, "If Wanyi were too obedient, I wouldn't keep him. Young people should have a drive to forge ahead."

"But I see him enjoying his current life so much that he has forgotten his roots!"

"That is fine too. Wanyi has already contributed a lot to the Organization; let him do some things he likes."

Having said this much, Ping Ge realized that Li Shu was completely on Xie Wanyi's side.

And there was no intention of pursuing the matter at all.

Therefore, Ping Ge stopped picking faults with Xie Wanyi.

He just stood there quietly.

But what he was thinking in his heart, only he himself knew.

Li Shu glanced over, smiled, and then trimmed the branches and leaves of a potted plant.

With a "Click," the hand rose and the leaves fell.

On the other side—

Xie Wanyi had not listened to Jiang Motian and gone to rest.

Instead, he acted as if nothing were wrong and continued to be busy at the company.

When he finished a meeting with his team members and came out of the conference room, Xiaolin grabbed him.

At the same time, Xiaolin gestured with his chin toward a certain direction.

Xie Wanyi looked in the direction he pointed.

And then... he saw Jiang Motian with a face full of resentment.

Jiang Motian crossed her arms, said nothing, and did not walk over; she just stood where she was, glaring at Xie Wanyi.

This made Xie Wanyi inwardly cry out that things were not looking good.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Wanyi walked over with a smile.

But before he could speak, Jiang Motian issued a complaint first: "I knew you wouldn't rest peacefully!"

Jiang Motian had not even dared to send Xie Wanyi a message, fearing it would disturb his sleep.

But after thinking about it, she felt that given Xie Wanyi's style, he would very likely force himself to go to the company.

As it turned out...

She had guessed correctly!

This really angered Jiang Motian!

Jiang Baobao stared at the screen, her heart pounding as she watched the numbers fluctuate.
