Chapter 161 - A Good-for-nothing

“Dad!”

When Lin Piaopiao heard the news, she pushed the butler and the servant aside and sprinted to the living room. When she saw Lin Liguo covered in leeches, she covered her mouth and nearly vomited. She took two steps back and collapsed onto the ground. She murmured in disbelief, “How did this happen?”

Wu Mei arranged for a bodyguard to bring Lin Liguo back to the room and use flames to expel the leeches from his body. Accompanying the intense pain that burned his skin, Lin Liguo slowly opened his eyes and regained consciousness. The first thing he did when he woke up was to yell, “That b*stard, playing dirty!”

“Dad? Who hurt you? Who made you like this?”

Lin Liguo did not give a straight answer as Lin Piaopiao stood beside his bed and continued probing. Instead, he cursed in an inaudible manner, “If I find him, I will definitely kill him!”

“Dad? Why did he harm you?” Lin Piaopiao asked again. Lin Liguo simply shut up and looked at the marks on his body left behind by the leeches. With a strange expression on his face, he changed the topic.

When Feng Yue found out about the accident that had happened in the villa, she took the initiative to visit Lin Liguo’s room. She stood by the bed and pretended to be kind as she mentioned, “This matter is really a little mysterious. If Wu Mei hadn’t coincidentally thought of asking the butler to clear the pond in the backyard, no one would probably discover that you had fallen in there…”

“This weather is clearly not suitable for camping and having a picnic. Other than a few bare trees near the pond, there’s nothing to see.”

“But Wu Mei saved your life after all. When you recover, you should thank her properly!”

Feng Yue deliberately shifted the attention of the Lin father and daughter to Wu Mei’s actions. Lin Liguo’s eyes widened as he recalled that when he went to hand in the money last night, the threat opposite him seemed to be somewhat similar to Wu Mei. Recently, she had also been probing him about what had happened that night.?It’s her!

Lin Liguo was almost certain that it was all Wu Mei’s scheme last night!

Pushing his weak body up, he rushed out of the door. When he saw Wu Mei drinking tea in the living room, he interrogated her, “You were the one who threw me into the pond! Where’s the three million yuan in cash? Give it back to me…”

Wu Mei looked at Lin Liguo’s stupid face and asked with a frown, “Did the leech absorb all your brain cells?”

“What three million? I was in the room with Mom last night and never left the villa. What nonsense are you spouting?”

Lin Liguo was so angry that he wanted to tell Li Nanchen about the email. However, just as the words were about to leave his mouth, he quickly slammed on the brakes and swallowed them. He met Li Nanchen’s gaze and mumbled awkwardly, “It must be you! No one else in the villa has a motive!”

Wu Mei chuckled lightly and stared at him with interest as she said, “In that case, tell me why I would want to harm you.”

“What method and reason did I use to make you secretly run to the pond in the backyard at midnight with three million in cash?”

“It probably arose from a very pressing need of yours, right?”

Lin Liguo could not tell the truth and could only hold it in. He took a deep look at Wu Mei before returning to his room to recuperate.

Feng Yue hid in the dark and observed. When she saw that Lin Liguo did not hurt Wu Mei at all, she could not help but scold him in a low voice, “Useless guy.”

With the two doctors in the Li Family villa’s encountering accidents one after another, Wu Mei temporarily became responsible for Old Master Li’s recovery and treatment.

In the day, Wu Mei pushed Old Master Li to do rehabilitation exercises. At night, she accompanied Mother Wu and coaxed her to sleep. Li Nanchen had not been able to speak to Wu Mei for the past few days, much less have time to be alone with her. His eyes revealed a hint of sadness as he looked at the back view of Wu Mei, who was taking care of the Old Master in the yard. He sulkily flipped through the Economic Times in his hand.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Feng Yue could tell that he was unhappy. Her eyes lit up and she took the opportunity to get closer to him. She sat across from Li Nanchen and said, “Wu Mei’s mission is clearly to protect you, but she’s just hanging around Grandpa now. She just doesn’t take you seriously. Her attitude should be reported to the Ministry of Defense!”

“She used to be close to quite a few male Special Agents when she was in the Special Agent Camp.”

“President Li, in actuality, Wu Mei isn’t as she seems. She’s very scheming. Please don’t let her…”

Feng Yue wanted to say something else, but when she saw Li Nanchen’s cold gaze, she instantly shut her mouth.
