Chapter 618: I Want to Know the Li Family's Attitude

"Mmm..." A muffled groan. Pain? Not at all, just a bit itchy, and there was a strange sort of emotion mixed in.

"It's not dark yet!" An Yinan warned aloud.

Chen Xun chuckled, lay down beside her, and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Is it okay once it's dark?" he asked, pushing his luck.

An Yinan pursed her lips and shot him a resentful look, though the expression didn't look like anger; instead, it carried an inexplicable sense of seduction.

The restlessness he had just suppressed surged up instantly; he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

An Yinan pushed against his hands, her strength fading, and she hugged his taut waist, clinging to him like a small boat, afraid of falling off.

Chen Xun hurriedly got up and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower, which lasted for more than ten minutes, before walking out of the bathroom with a chill radiating from his body.

"Hahaha." An Yinan laughed at him mercilessly.

Chen Xun walked to the bedside, his hair still dripping with water, and the droplets fell onto An Yinan's arm, giving her a cold shiver.

"Who do you think this is for? If you laugh again, I won't hold back." Chen Xun pinched her cheek, and looking at her blooming smile, he put on a fierce expression.

An Yinan made a gesture of zipping her mouth shut. She could refuse to back down at other times, but at a moment like this, she had to concede, otherwise this damn man really would do exactly what he said!

Yun Shu returned with dinner, saw the two people in the living room, and said, "Time to eat."

"Finally, time to eat, I'm starving." Yun Mo's door was always kept open, so if there was any movement, he could rush out at top speed.

"Wait!"

Just as everyone was picking up their chopsticks to eat, An Yinan suddenly spoke up.

"What's wrong?" Chen Xun asked, and upon seeing Nan Nan's expression, he immediately realized something was off.

An Yinan looked at Yun Shu, "Did these meals pass through anyone else's hands?"

Yun Shu shook her head, "No, I went out just to buy the food, and I came straight back after buying it; I didn't go anywhere else."

She was currently on a mission, so she would absolutely not do anything else unless they had other arrangements.

"The person selling the food... was it still that old couple?" An Yinan asked.

She recognized this brand; whenever they were too lazy to cook, they would go to that old couple to buy food. The old couple was very enthusiastic, and they were already familiar with them.

"No, today... it was their son?" Yun Shu immediately realized something was wrong.

This food!

It was problematic.

"It's poisoned." An Yinan nodded.

"The dosage isn't high; as long as we get our stomachs pumped in time, there won't be any issues, this..."

An Yinan didn't continue, instead looking at Chen Xun.

"Someone is warning us," Chen Xun said with certainty.

The implication of this warning was truly heavy.

"What do we do now?" Yun Mo narrowed his eyes, a flash of murderous intent appearing in them.

These bastards in the City really think Grandpa Mo is a pushover; I really want to have a real, bloody showdown with those grandsons.

"I'll ask Le Rong." An Yinan made a phone call.

"Hello? This is the Li Family," the person who answered the phone on the other end said.

"I'm looking for Le Rong."

This was the first time An Yinan had called the Li Family; previously, Le Rong had always contacted her, and Le Rong had been more proactive in their interactions. She had too many things to think about, so this was the first time she had thought to call.

"First Madam, a call for you," the person on the other end said.

After a moment, the sound of slippers approached, and then the phone changed hands, "Hello."

"Le Rong, it's An An," An Yinan said immediately.

The voice that had just been formal immediately became quite cheerful, "An An, you actually called me; I'm so happy."

Le Rong's voice carried a touch of childishness, which only showed when they were together.

"Le Rong, I might need your help." An Yinan didn't stop talking; she needed to know who exactly was behind this.

"What happened?" Le Rong's brow twitched; An An wouldn't disturb her unless something major happened.

Since the call had come through, something big must have happened.

An Yinan stated the matter of the food directly and also offered her own suspicions.

"Li Kun mentioned before that I should watch out for the Xie Family."

"But for this call, I mainly wanted to confirm with you if it could be Li Yue."

She now understood Li Yue's status clearly; Le Rong had never hidden the situation of the Li Family from her.

To reach her current position, her methods had never been soft.

"I'll give you the result in half an hour." After Le Rong said this directly, she hung up the phone without any pleasantries.

Chen Xun thought for a moment, "You suspect it's Li Yue?"

An Yinan shook her head, "No, I suspect it isn't Li Yue."

"Then why did you ask the First Madam to investigate Li Yue?" Chen Xun asked, puzzled.

An Yinan smiled and took out the note she had been holding, on which a few words were written: "Is the message sent by the Li Family's young lady satisfactory to you, Madam?"

The one who took action wasn't Li Yue, but Li Yue's shadow was present in this.

She needed to bring this matter to the Li Family and needed the Li Family to provide an attitude.

This time, she didn't want to back down.

The children were no longer in the City, and that stock had already emerged; she... could take action.

In less than half an hour, the phone rang.

"This is Li Kun," the person on the other end announced himself directly.

"Li Yue went out to have tea with the third young master of the Xie Family this morning. What happened on your end? What do you need me to do?"

Throughout their long association, Li Kun never had to choose between protecting Li Yue or helping the Madam; no matter which way he looked at it, he would always choose to help the Madam.

They were people on the same side!

Even if she did not come to the Li Family, she was still his mother's friend, and Huang Ying's friend, so they could barely be considered friends.

"This news is enough. As for how I treat Li Yue next, I want to know the Li Family's attitude," An Yinan said with a chuckle, yet the words she spoke carried a hint of killing intent; even through the phone, Li Kun felt a chill on his neck.

Li Kun narrowed his eyes, a cigar held between his fingers, his entire aura shifting before he said indifferently, "As long as they're breathing, that's enough."

As long as they were breathing, he had a way to make his old man shut up and could manipulate his thoughts.

Li Yue was a very good chess piece right now; if she just died like this, wouldn't his mother's years of forbearance go to waste?

"Understood."

He only heard the woman's cold, clear voice on the other end of the phone say those two simple words, followed by a long string of busy signals.

The call was hung up...

For so many years, this was the first time someone had dared to hang up on him.

When An Yinan received the Li Family's attitude, Chen Xun had already brought the noodles out from the kitchen, which included some leftover dumplings from earlier; the noodles and dumplings were placed together with a few leaves of greens added, looking quite appetizing.

Yun Shu and Yun Mo had already gone next door to mooch a meal; if they let the Captain cook for them, they still wanted to keep their lives!
