Chapter 296: 296: Photo? What photo?

“Does Li Beijue taking a bath count?”

Chi Enen had never believed that woman from the very start, so she wasn’t too angry. However, when Si Chen said that woman had deleted Li Beijue’s call log, her last bit of unease smoothed over.

It turns out, it wasn’t that Li Beijue hadn’t returned her calls; he simply had no idea she had called him again!

Chi Enen felt a sweet warmth in her heart and shook her head, “I didn’t talk nonsense about anything.”

“That’s good.” Si Chen’s hanging heart was put at ease, and Li Beijue came up with the porridge.

After she had the porridge, Si Chen’s assistant delivered the things needed for the intravenous infusion.

Si Chen helped Chi Enen set up the IV, instructing Li Beijue to watch over her before he left the medication behind and went on his way.

“Li Beijue, Bae Chi…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged for someone to take care of her.”

“Oh.” Chi Enen was sleepy and exhausted today, frightened and worried, plus the anti-inflammatory liquid inherently had a sedative component. As it administered, she drifted off into a deep sleep…

Li Beijue stayed beside the bed, watching over her until the liquid was fully infused. He then carefully removed the needle, stopped the bleeding, and gently lifted a corner of the quilt, cautiously embracing her in his arms. Together, they fell asleep.

Outside the window, the night was thick, the moon was atop the treetops, insects buzzed, and birds chirped; everything looked warm…

The next day, early morning.

Chi Enen was still deeply asleep while Li Beijue had already gotten up.

He changed into a shirt and wore a neat suit as he went downstairs.

Huo Yi had the breakfast ready downstairs. Seeing Li Beijue descending, he promptly greeted, “Master Jue, good morning.”

Li Beijue glanced at him, didn’t have breakfast, and went straight to the point, “How’s the investigation going that I asked you to look into last night?”

“I’ve found out.” Huo Yi handed over the materials he had gathered, “The ones who locked Miss Chi in the toilet were some radio hosts from the evening time slot. The leader is someone you should recognize—the one who intentionally rear-ended your car last time. The reason she treated Miss Chi like that is because of a series of photos.”

At this point, he hesitated to continue.

Li Beijue lifted his head, looked at him, and repeated, “Photos? What photos?”

“This…” Huo Yi wasn’t sure if he should show him the photos, worrying that it might stir up another controversy.

While he hesitated, Li Beijue’s face darkened, ready to erupt with anger, but considering the little lady upstairs deep in sleep, he forcefully restrained himself. He stretched out his hand, commanding in a low voice, “Give it to me.”

Huo Yi indeed had printed them, reluctantly and hesitantly fumbling them out and handing them over. While Li Beijue was looking, Huo Yi spoke up for Chi Enen, “This set of photos started circulating on the company forum yesterday morning. The content of the photos doesn’t seem real. Miss Chi isn’t that kind of person.”

At first, Li Beijue’s face turned dark when he saw the ambiguous and unclear photos of Chi Enen with a man on the bed. As he looked further, although he didn’t believe them, he couldn’t hide his fury.

However, this fury wasn’t directed at Chi Enen but at the person who Photoshopped these pictures!

He crumpled the photos in his hand, his face cold, as an impending storm brewed, “Investigate!”

“Yes, Master Jue, I’ll have someone look into it right away.”

Even though Huo Yi didn’t know who was behind these vile photos meant to slander Miss Chi, he understood that whoever it was, judging by how Miss Chi ended up with a fever last night because of their actions, that person was going to be in big trouble this time!

The morning light shone on the arrogant man’s profile, casting his features in sharp relief, accentuating the cold sternness and the prominent bridge of his nose. Li Beijue glanced over the names in the materials, a storm brewing in his eyes, and ordered, “Huo Yi, prepare the car, we’re going to the company!”
