Chapter 523: Carrying Twins
Ji Wei felt her blood rushing up, and she closed her eyes to quell the irritation in her heart."I’ll find a way to handle Ji Group’s issues with my dad."
"What way? I heard your dad has gone missing—probably fled to evade responsibility, leaving you with a mess to clean up, right?"
Ji Wei tightly gripped the water cup, her expression grim as she stared at Nan Huiru. "Who did you hear that from?"
"Do I need to hear it from someone? It’s all over the internet and television news now. Ji Family was always ranked last among the Five Great Families, and now it has finally gained fame in Rongcheng, thanks to a scandal. Truly ironic," Nan Huiru sneered.
Ji Wei had no idea how this matter had spread.
But it was definitely Tang Yi’s doing!
She worked hard to maintain her composure and said coldly to Nan Huiru, "I’m tired and want to rest. Leave, please."
Nan Huiru hadn’t planned to stay anyway. She grabbed her bag from the table, glanced at Ji Wei, and said, "Miss Ji, take care of yourself."
Then she turned and walked out of the hospital room.
As soon as Nan Huiru left, Ji Wei could no longer keep calm. She set the water cup on the bedside table and frantically reached for the remote control.
She flipped through the TV channels one by one, but couldn’t find any news about Ji Group.
Her heart filled with doubt. Could Nan Huiru have fabricated the story just to upset her?
Feeling uneasy, Ji Wei quickly called Mo Qian.
"Mo Qian, has something happened to Ji Group? Is there any news about my dad?" A woman’s anxious voice came through the phone.
"Ji Group is operating as usual," Mo Qian reassured her. "There’s still no news about Dad. The people we sent out are searching with all their effort. Don’t worry—trust your husband’s capabilities, okay?"
Ji Wei’s heart tightened. Where on earth had her father gone?
"Be good. Once I’m done handling company affairs, I’ll come back to stay with you. Don’t overthink it—get some rest," Mo Qian said gently.
"Okay."
She took a deep breath, striving to calm herself.
She couldn’t let Mo Qian worry about her and get distracted; he had already been quite exhausted in the past couple of days.
After Mo Qian put down the phone, Chen Ke continued speaking, "All negative news about Ji Group across both the internet and TV stations has been taken down. The team just reported that Ji Yunli’s name doesn’t appear in the outbound travel records, but airport surveillance footage did capture him leaving the country."
Ji Yunli had gone abroad...
He had erased his outbound records—clearly an intentional act.
Why?
Could it really be to evade investigation by the court?
"How’s Tang Yi’s situation?" Mo Qian asked after a moment of thought.
"That woman has been extremely cautious. Perhaps she knows we’re tracking her; she barely leaves her house," Chen Ke explained. Follow current novels on novel⟡fire.net
The news reports on the internet and TV were likely leaked by Tang Yi’s group—since they were the only ones with such detailed knowledge about Ji Group’s affairs.
It seemed he would have to take the offensive. He couldn’t let that woman remain untouchable for long!
"Start investigating all of Tang Yi’s social connections immediately—the more detailed, the better!" Mo Qian ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, Mr. Gu!"
...
Nan Huiru walked out of the hospital room, her face clouded. This entire floor was for VIP patients, so there were very few people around.
Two nurses were walking toward her, whispering to each other.
"I have some shocking news. Do you want to know?"
"What news?"
"Just now, while sorting patient files for Doctor Shi, I stumbled upon something incredible," one nurse leaned close to her companion’s ear and whispered, "Turns out Mrs. Gu is pregnant with twins."
"But isn’t she supposed to have just a single viable fetus?" the other nurse said, astonished.
