The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1357: Chapter 718: Mo Han & Wanwan Arc - Someone Schemes Against Ning Wan

After changing clothes and coming out, Xi Mohan had already prepared breakfast, not Western style, but genuine Chinese cuisine.

A pot of fragrant millet porridge and a few side dishes were all laid out on the dining table.

Ning Wan subconsciously swallowed, and her already hungry stomach felt even hungrier.

Xi Mohan took a few tissues to wipe the water off his hands, glanced at Ning Wan standing there, and opened his mouth casually, "Aren’t you hungry?"

Ning Wan looked up at him, her heart was nagging her. After all, she had thrown a tantrum last night, and not only was he not angry, he even made breakfast for her this morning...

Ultimately, she felt somewhat guilty inside.

However, she didn’t say anything in the end, because she was indeed too hungry, so she simply sat down.

When Ning Wan had sat down, Xi Mohan finally sat down across from her, his voice hoarse as he said, "Later, I need to go out to negotiate with a partner company. If you find it boring to stay in the hotel, there are professional translation services available. Just inform the front desk, and someone will accompany you to go out and have fun."

Ning Wan suddenly looked up at him, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say anything, only obediently uttering an "oh".

Xi Mohan glanced at her and didn’t say another word, lowering his head to start eating breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Ning Wan proactively washed the dishes, but by the time she was done, Xi Mohan had taken a call and gone out.

Standing in the empty presidential suite, her mood plummeted to the lowest point. She didn’t want to go anywhere and just curled up on the sofa in the living room.

She wanted to watch TV, but the languages on the TV were all in French, which she didn’t understand a word of, and there was no translation.

Her gaze fell on the black card left by the man, and Ning Wan stared in a daze for a while, before reaching for the card and pursing her lips, pondering, "Leaving the black card, being so generous? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll spend it all recklessly while I’m out?"

But that was just some frustrated venting because she would never do something like that.

Her parents had taught her frugality from a young age, and even if she was wealthy, she couldn’t be wasteful, so she wouldn’t act like a spoiled heiress, buying all branded items and spending tens of thousands without a blink; she would have to think long and hard before spending a mere ten thousand.

...

After leaving the hotel, Xi Mohan drove directly to the scheduled meeting place with the partner company, but midway he received a call from his secretary.

After answering the call, with an earpiece in his ear, the secretary’s tone seemed somewhat anxious as they spoke to Xi Mohan, "President, the previous kidnapping of Second Lady Ning by Nan Moyan seems rather suspicious."

Xi Mohan’s brows furrowed instantly as his car stopped at a traffic light, his voice deepening, "What did you say?"

The secretary paused, seemingly preparing to say something, and after a while, spoke, "You previously instructed us to investigate how Nan Moyan knew about Second Lady Ning. We discovered someone secretly sent Nan Moyan a message, specifically providing information that Second Lady Ning was currently staying with you and where she was. The details in the message made it clear that the sender was very familiar with Second Lady Ning’s whereabouts."

If not, given Nan Moyan’s capabilities, it would have been impossible for him to suddenly uncover the relationship between Ning Wan and Xi Mohan.

It would have been impossible for him to coincidentally kidnap Ning Wan when she went to stay at a classmate’s house.

Xi Mohan’s eyes narrowed dangerously, his voice cold as he directly asked, "Have you found out who it was?"

The secretary swallowed and explained, "Initially, we suspected that classmate of Second Lady Ning was the problem, but after investigating, we found that the classmate had no suspicions. For now, we still haven’t uncovered who leaked the information to Nan Moyan."

He was telling the truth.

Initially, they suspected Song Qiao, but investigations revealed Song Qiao didn’t even know Nan Moyan, despite being the Song Family’s eldest daughter, she wasn’t favored, life wasn’t easy for her, and she had long moved out of the Song Family, renting an apartment elsewhere.

Most importantly, she had no motive to frame Second Lady Ning.

Additionally, during the investigation, it was found that after Second Lady Ning went missing, Song Qiao was so scared that she almost called the police, only to have Second Lady Ning thankfully rescued in time by the president.

Xi Mohan lightly pressed his lips together, his expression was quite unpleasant.

The secretary didn’t say anything further as he had already said everything he needed to say.

When the light turned green, Xi Mohan started the car and told the secretary over the phone, "Continue investigating this matter, try to uncover who that person is."

The secretary promptly agreed, "Yes, President."

"For now, don’t tell Ning Wan about this."

Then he directly ended the call, but his face still looked displeased.

Because of this matter concerning Ning Wan, he realized for the first time that someone dared to scheme against him so boldly.

The man’s face remained stern throughout; even during the partnership negotiations, his expression didn’t improve, causing the other party to think Xi Mohan was dissatisfied with the terms of the deal and they hurriedly lowered the price.

If the other party knew the reason for Xi Mohan’s dark mood, they would probably be at a loss for words.

...

After confirming the contract, Xi Mohan didn’t linger outside, driving straight back to the hotel. After all, Ning Wan was still young, and this was an unfamiliar country; it was natural for a young girl to be afraid by herself, and he was sure she was still in the hotel.

However, upon returning to the hotel, he didn’t see Ning Wan, and only found out from the front desk that she had gone out with a guided tour half an hour earlier.

The man’s face instantly darkened; he was already feeling better on the way back, but now his mood turned sour again.

The receptionist, noticing Xi Mohan’s unpleasant expression, hesitated before cautiously asking, "Sir, would you like us to call the guide and ask where they are now?"

"No need." The man’s voice was heavy as he uttered these three words and then turned towards the elevator.

The receptionist watched Xi Mohan’s back, exchanging glances with her colleagues, but said nothing further and didn’t dare to gossip.

After all, he was a VIP client of their hotel; Xi Mohan visited F Country frequently and always stayed at this hotel during his visits.
