Lan Qingqing cautiously approached Ke Jie and suggested, "Let's file a report at the police station first. No matter what, we need to find out information about Li Hongmei. If this project truly exists, we can use the excuse that the elderly don't understand financial investments to withdraw our funds and breach the contract. If the project doesn't exist, we can think of further plans."
She gently linked her arm with Ke Jie’s. Ke Jie was still seething with anger, looking at his mother with a hatred he had never felt before; for the first time, he wished his mother were dead. Twenty million was the result of years of careful planning, and just as victory was within reach, it had been ruined by Zhang Huizhi.
Ultimately, emotions needed to be resolved, so Ke Jie took Zhang Huizhi to the police station.
Meanwhile, in Tong Le's apartment, she was busy in the kitchen, clanging pots and pans with a lively spirit. She prepared several small dishes for Zong Zeyu, determined to make an exceptionally nutritious breakfast. A clear broth simmered on the stove, and as she inhaled its faint aroma, she felt invigorated.
At that moment, Tong Le's phone rang; it was Tian Ling.
Once connected, Tian Ling said, "I’ve completely disposed of my mom's old phone without leaving a trace. I’ll send her back to her hometown in a day or two."
Tong Le replied, "Before you go, I’ll treat Auntie to a nice meal."
Tian Ling responded, "Come on, your mother-in-law just lost Ke Jie’s twenty million cash. He must be on high alert right now; it’s best not to let my mom show up to avoid raising any suspicions."
Tong Le agreed, "You're right. With Ke Jie being so paranoid, he might actually suspect me. If he sends someone to follow me, it would be easy for things to get exposed."
On the other end of the line, Tian Ling paused for a moment before continuing.
Noticing something was off, Tong Le asked, "What’s wrong? Do you have something to say?"
Gathering her courage, Tian Ling said, "Could you find some time to organize a gathering? Invite Fan Qinghua along for a meal? Or when Xiao Zong Zong is with Fan Qinghua, you could bring me along."
Tong Le smiled and replied, "Got it. Just wait for news."
After hanging up the phone, Tong Le wore a beaming smile; it was rare for Tian Ling to be so proactive—like a long-dormant tree finally blooming. Of course, she would shower it with attention.
She hummed a little tune as the exhaust fan whirred above her. Unbeknownst to her, Zong Zeyu had walked into the kitchen.
Zong Zeyu appeared groggy, his pajamas askew on one shoulder matching his tousled hair perfectly. Half-awake and half-asleep, he moved softly behind Tong Le and rested his chin on her shoulder. Startled, Tong Le instinctively turned her face toward him; their cheeks brushed lightly against each other, sending an electric thrill through her body.
She noticed Zong Zeyu's long eyelashes; even though his eyes were still half-closed and he looked drowsy, he exuded a charming scent from his unique cologne that captivated her attention.
Zong Zeyu nuzzled his chin against Tong Le’s shoulder and smiled slightly with his eyes closed. His voice was hoarse from sleep as he said softly, "I dreamed about you last night. I wanted to hug you, but you wouldn’t let me."
As he spoke, Zong Zeyu reached out to embrace Tong Le from behind. At her command, he halted immediately, "No hugging!"
With his eyes closed and a playful arch of his brow, Zong Zeyu replied in his raspy voice, "Alright, no hugs then." There was a hint of a husband’s playful pout in his tone.
Tong Le held the soup pot and tapped its edge, insisting, "Eat, eat, eat! Hurry up and wash up!"
Zong Zeyu slowly straightened up as Tong Le turned around and gently pushed him towards the bathroom. "Quickly wash your face, brush your teeth, and then we can eat."
Despite being a tall and sturdy man, Zong Zeyu felt like a little child at that moment as he was guided to the washroom.
Just then, Tong Le's phone buzzed with a WeChat message from Ke Jie. "You should be awake by now? You won’t need to go to the company later; just head straight to the police station. Mom has been scammed."
