Chapter 388: Chapter 388
Li Si had a bad dream. In the dream, she kept chasing Leng Mochen, but he kept running, kept running, never looking back no matter how much she called out to him.
When she woke up in shock, her whole body felt exhausted. Looking at the neatly placed shoes under the bed in the lounge, she smiled contentedly.
She opened the door to the lounge, but the office was empty.
She glanced out the floor-to-ceiling window at the sun. It should be afternoon now, right?
Li Si felt that she didn’t sleep well at all. It would have been better not to sleep!
She took out her phone from her bag and dialed Leng Mochen’s number, but the sound of his ringtone came from the desk.
He didn’t take his phone?
Just as she was pondering, the music of her phone rang urgently. An inexplicable wave of panic surged in her heart as she saw the caller ID showing Heizi. She quickly answered, "Brother Heizi!"
On the other end, Heizi’s voice was hurried: "Li Si! Where are you? Are you at Mo Si?"
"I am! Brother Heizi, what’s wrong?"
"Listen carefully, Li Si. Calm down and listen to me. We tracked the location through the GPS system and found that Leng Mohao is on Mo Si’s rooftop right now. He’s likely planning something harmful against you. You must stay together with Leng Er now. No matter what he says, do not go to the rooftop! Do you hear me?"
After hearing this, Li Si panicked. "But Mochen isn’t with me! His phone is still on the desk!" Her heart was in turmoil—does this mean Leng Mohao is on the rooftop now?
Could it be that Leng Mochen’s original personality has returned?
Otherwise, Lu Zhenghang would never have fallen for it, nor would he have agreed to meet him.
Heizi quickly reassured her: "Then just stay in the office by yourself. We’re rushing over right now!" He also tried to locate Mochen, assuming he was still at Mo Si. But given the current situation, things were becoming uncertain.
Considering that Li Si was pregnant, Heizi tried to keep calm while persuading her, hoping that everything would still be in time.
Li Si hastily hung up the call. Her heart raced uncontrollably, feeling as if it might jump out of her chest. Thinking of that Life and Death Tribulation, could it be happening now?
She forced herself to calm down. She had to stay calm.
The more critical the situation, the less she could lose her composure.
Even if Heizi rushed over, it would take him some time; she realized she could make it to the rooftop much faster. First, she needed to determine if Leng Mochen was still in the building.
Li Si opened the office door and, trying to keep her tone steady, called out for Liu Xiaole: "Xiao Le, where’s Mr. Leng?"
Liu Xiaole, holding a folder, froze for a moment. "He left a while ago!"
"Where did he go?" Li Si clenched her fingers tightly, praying it wasn’t...
"He came out and asked where the elevator was," Liu Xiaole said, baffled. "Mr. Leng was acting a bit strange today. He even forgot where the elevator was!"
Moreover, for the first time, Liu Xiaole noticed a mischievous smirk on Mr. Leng’s face.
How to describe it? It was almost like he was a completely different person.
Li Si’s heart sank instantly; there was no need to ask anymore. It must be the original personality of Leng Mochen that had returned.
"Where’s Jiang Tong?" Li Si thought about asking him for help—at least he could stand against Leng Mohao.
Liu Xiaole quickly moved closer to her: "He left too! Sisi, what’s going on?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveIＦire.net
"Nothing! I was just asking!" Li Si closed the office door and walked firmly toward the elevator. Even without help, she had to go! No matter the cost, she wouldn’t hesitate!
In the elevator heading to the rooftop, she had never felt time pass so slowly.
Finally, with a ’ding,’ she arrived. She found the rooftop’s safety door, clutching the electric baton she had taken out from her space tightly in her hand. She pushed the door open forcefully.
The wind on the rooftop was strong, howling against her ears and making a whimpering sound.
It was late November in Beijing, and the wind was icy cold, cutting through her like a blade. Squinting her eyes, she scanned for signs of people while vigilantly guarding against Leng Mohao’s sudden appearance or attack.
Within her line of sight, she saw no one at first, but she heard unusual sounds. Cautiously, she moved toward the source of the noise.
As she rounded the corner, she saw Leng Mochen and Leng Mohao locked in a fierce struggle, both with visible injuries on their faces. Leng Mohao was choking Leng Mochen’s neck viciously, while Leng Mochen desperately fought back, clawing at his hands. His face was twisted with bulging veins, looking as though he could no longer breathe.
Li Si rushed forward and fiercely struck Leng Mohao’s back with the electric baton. He cried out, unprepared for the sudden attack from behind, especially from the electric shock, which instantly numbed his entire body and rendered him unable to resist.
Leng Mochen pushed him hard to the ground, coughing heavily, "Cough! Cough! Cough!"
It was unbearably painful—he had narrowly escaped death. Fortunately! Fortunately!
Li Si anxiously looked at him. "Are you alright?" At a glance, she could tell that standing before her was Leng Mochen’s original personality because his expression was different.
Leng Mochen coughed as he weakly shook his head.
He knew that if she had arrived even a moment later, he would have been dead. In that moment of oxygen deprivation and respiratory failure, he had seen flashes of white light. Having once died, he recognized this as the brink of death.
Li Si glared hatefully at the unconscious Leng Mohao lying on the ground and slapped him several times across the face.
’Leng Mochen’ stared at her in shock—this woman was truly fierce!
Li Si slapped him until her hand hurt but finally felt some relief.
She then turned to glare at ’Leng Mochen’ and yelled angrily, "Are you out of your mind? What were you thinking coming to the rooftop? Trying to get yourself killed?"
She was furious. If she hadn’t arrived in time, would the next time she saw him have been a corpse?
This Life and Death Tribulation! So crude and direct!
’Leng Mochen’ froze in place, feeling awkward under her wrath. Then, thinking about how crazed Leng Mohao had been, he felt a little uneasy about the near calamity he almost caused.
Li Si pointed aggressively at his nose and berated, "Shut up! Because of you, we’ve been worrying sick these past few days! Now that Leng Mohao is dealt with, get out of his body!"
She was livid—this useless idiot was driving her mad.
’Leng Mochen’ pouted with aggrieved indignation. "This body is clearly mine. Why should I leave?" A flash of mischief shone in his gaze.
Li Si’s eyes widened. "Say that again?" She raised her hand as if ready to slap him.
She sincerely wanted to beat some sense into him, but when she remembered that the body also belonged to Lu Zhenghang, she begrudgingly lowered her hand.
’Leng Mochen’ finally smiled genuinely. "He’s unlucky to have found himself a hidden tigress like you. I’m not sticking around to deal with that headache!"
Li Si snorted coldly. "If he were as clueless as you, I wouldn’t want him!"
Charging straight into danger without hesitation—what an idiot.
"You!" ’Leng Mochen’ stood up angrily, pointing at her nose as if to argue, but recalling his idiotic actions earlier and seeing her pregnant belly, his heart softened, and he didn’t retort.
Just then, Heizi arrived with his men, taking in the scene. Seeing Leng Mohao unconscious while Leng Mochen and Li Si were unharmed, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Who took down Leng Mohao—was it one of you two?" Heizi glanced at the injuries on Leng Mochen’s face and body and asked.
"Her!" ’Leng Mochen’ awkwardly pointed at Li Si.
Heizi looked at her with an expression of surprise, then noticed a 20-centimeter knife lying a short distance away on the ground. He cautiously picked it up and placed it in an evidence bag.
He then surveyed the surroundings and pointed to a security camera positioned diagonally overhead, instructing his subordinate, "Get me the footage from that camera of what just happened!"
"Yes, boss!" A young police officer responded and quickly headed off.
The remaining men lifted Leng Mohao and carried him away. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote with recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for more Chapters.)
