Chapter 831: Li Beijue and His Family Are All Childish

Li Beijue took his phone and went to the hallway.

He only answered the call once he had walked a bit further away.

Immediately, he heard the person on the other end of the line report: "President Li, we have already conducted a screening and did not discover any suspicious activity within the ski resort. However, Young Master Beichen seems to have been in frequent contact with someone recently, but we are unable to obtain detailed call records; the other party appears to be using an encrypted number."

Li Beijue's brows tightened, and he did not speak.

As early as the beginning of the ski resort's construction, Li Beichen had intentionally or unintentionally mentioned several times that he wanted to participate in this project.

Li Beijue naturally had not relented in the slightest.

Long before Jiang Baobao told him those things today, he had already been on guard against Li Beichen.

It was just that he hadn't expected Cai Xiaotang to accidentally overhear this matter.

Li Beijue pondered for a long while before saying: "Continue to keep an eye on him. He should be making some moves soon. Pay more attention to who he has been in contact with during this period. No matter what unexpected situations arise, you must report them to me."

"Yes."

The other party responded immediately.

Li Beijue said nothing more and hung up the phone directly.

Immediately after, he heard the chattering laughter of the three little ones coming from the room.

He adjusted his expression before returning to the room.

As soon as he entered, he heard Tiantian say loudly: "I also want to bring my photos over and put them in Mommy and Daddy's room! That way, the little brother and sister will look like me!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Mobai, standing to the side, immediately said, refusing to be outdone: "Then I'll bring my and Yanbao's photos over too! That way, maybe they'll look like us!"

After hearing these two sentences, Li Beijue realized what was going on and was suddenly left between laughter and tears.

"You told them?"

He walked in from the door and smiled as he wrapped his arms around Jiang Baobao's shoulders.

Jiang Baobao had no choice but to say helplessly: "I couldn't help it, the three of them kept pestering me, asking why you put a whole room full of photos. I had to tell them. Since their daddy took the lead in doing such a childish thing, the three of them naturally followed suit."

By the time she finished, she couldn't help but make a snide remark, unable to hold back a smile.

Immediately after, she heard Yanbao say with some distress: "Mobai, but the two of us already look exactly the same. If Mommy gives birth to another little brother and he looks like us, what will we do if Daddy and Mommy can't tell us apart?"

Once these words were spoken, the three little ones immediately fell silent and began to think seriously.

Jiang Baobao, however, was amused by these three little treasures until she couldn't keep her mouth shut, and she hurriedly said with a smile: "What are you all thinking? No matter if Mommy gives birth to a little brother or a little sister, it's impossible for them to look exactly like you. Besides, you are all different ages..."

"Oh, right!"

The three little ones spoke in unison, then looked at Li Beijue's photos in the room and suddenly, with great tacit understanding, turned and ran!

While running, they said loudly: "Then we're going back to get our photos too! It's too unfair to only put up Daddy's photos!"

"Hey..."

Jiang Baobao sighed helplessly; she couldn't stop them in time, and the three little ones ran off until not even their shadows could be seen.

She had no choice but to poke Li Beijue's arm helplessly.

"Look, it's all your fault! The three of them are learning from you now, what should we do?"

Jiang Baobao pouted at him.

Li Beijue, however, was unperturbed and instead asked unhurriedly: "What's wrong with that? Do you want to take your photos out too?"

"I wouldn't do such a childish thing!"

Jiang Baobao pushed him away, but she couldn't help laughing out loud herself.

Immediately after, she saw Li Beijue's phone light up again.

Li Beijue glanced at it casually and ignored it.

Jiang Baobao suddenly thought of something and asked with concern: "Was that phone call just now about something important? How is the progress at the ski resort? Can it still be completed on schedule?"

"Hmm, there's no problem. We can start trial operations in the near future. The invitations for the first batch of guests have already been drafted. We can go together when the time comes. As for Cai Xiaotang, someone from the company will go to discuss it with her and hand the project directly to her. You two can just treat it as a relaxing two-day trip and do some inspections while you're at it. You don't need to worry about anything."

Li Beijue became much more serious as soon as he started talking about work.

Jiang Baobao nodded, but still asked worriedly: "Then Li Beichen..."

"He is even less of a concern. I have already had people keep an eye on him. I will know the moment there is any situation. You just focus on your pregnancy and stop thinking about anything else, okay?"

As Li Beijue spoke, he suddenly picked Jiang Baobao up horizontally and walked toward the bed.

Jiang Baobao felt a warmth in her heart, nestled obediently in his arms, and nodded gently.

Li Beichen had always wanted to interfere in the Li Family's business; this probably wasn't the first time he had pulled such little stunts.

That was why Li Beijue was so calm.

So...

There shouldn't be any problems, right?

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she felt herself being gently placed on the bed.

"Rest for a while. If you're tired, just sleep. I'll stay here and keep you company."

Li Beijue sat by the bed and tucked the quilt in for her.

Jiang Baobao nodded, and not long after, she truly fell asleep.

Watching her sleep, Li Beijue stood up and went to the study alone.

The content of that phone call earlier had left him unable to set his mind at ease.

After pondering for a long while, he simply picked up his phone and called Li Xiao.

A few seconds later—the call was connected.

"Hello? Do you need something from me?"

Li Xiao got straight to the point as soon as he spoke.

Li Beijue didn't beat around the bush either and said in a low voice: "Uncle, I have a matter that I might need your help with."

"Speak."

Li Xiao agreed readily.

Li Beijue recounted the matters concerning Li Beichen.

After listening, Li Xiao was silent for two seconds.

When he spoke again, his tone had suddenly become somewhat grave.

"An encrypted call... generally speaking, ordinary people would have no use for it. If it were just to target the Li Corporation's current project by employing some commercial tactics, it would inevitably be making a mountain out of a molehill, and besides..."

"Besides, if it were you, you wouldn't choose to cooperate with Li Beichen either."

Li Beijue took over Li Xiao's words.

He paused for two seconds before continuing: "To be safe, I think it would be fastest to have your people investigate. If it is just ordinary business competition, it would actually be easy to resolve, but..."

He stopped suddenly and did not continue.

Li Xiao, however, understood what he meant.

Who would use an encrypted call to contact a good-for-nothing in the Li Family who couldn't even be brought out into the open?

The more secretive the other party was, the more necessary it was to investigate clearly!

Li Xiao pondered for a moment and said directly: "You don't need to worry about this matter; I will have people look into it."

"Good."

Li Beijue agreed.

Li Xiao did not say anything more, gave two final instructions, and then hung up the phone.

Putting down his phone, he felt uncharacteristically restless.

Wanting to use Li Beichen to target Beijue...

If it were truly aimed at business, that would be the simplest thing.

But what he feared was... that the other party's goal was someone else entirely.

Encrypted calls.

As far as he knew, apart from other departments with the same nature as the Dark Gate...

There were also "those people"...

Who would use them.
