Chapter 457: She Hated Being Threatened

Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi

To speed up the process of finding the truth, Lu Che pretended to have fallen for the culpritʼs trick and went to look for the doctor.

”Doctor Lin, the Madam has calmed down and agreed to take on the treatment you have suggested. So, President Mo has instructed me to come make arrangements with you.”

”OK. The tumor needs to be removed as soon as possible, so it is important for us to immediately book her in for an operation,” the doctor said in a professional manner. In reality, Lu Che could barely maintain his basic manners, because deep inside, he wanted so badly to strangle the immoral doctor to death.

As a doctor, not only did she not fulfill her duty to save the dying and heal the injured, she completely ignored the lives of others. So, in Lu Cheʼs eyes, she was not worthy of being human.

Lu Che was so tempted to tear off the doctorʼs mask. But, remembering that the truth had not been found yet, he continued to endure.

”Iʼve looked at my schedule. Is it OK if we do the operation in 3 days time?”

”Yes, thatʼs fine,” Lu Che nodded as he smiled. ”Iʼm sure you know how much President Mo cares about the Madam. Her body has always been a high priority to him. So, as a subordinate, I wouldnʼt dare to delay the treatment.”

”Of course.”

”But, I would like to ask...how did the Madamʼs confidential information get leaked? It seems you still have not provided Hai Rui with an answer to this matter. I hope next time we meet, you will be able to give us a satisfactory explanation,” Lu Che deliberately suppressed the doctorʼs arrogance by chasing her for an explanation.

The doctorʼs expression changed. She never expected, under Lu Cheʼs polite exterior, he could be so aggressive.

”Donʼt worry, the hospital is currently investigating this matter. Our initial suspicion is that the disgusting paparazzi did something,” the doctor smiled.

Lu Che scoffed inside, but did not make a sound as he watched the doctor blatantly lie to his face. However, he had long become accustomed to seeing people like this.

Afterwards, Lu Che left. But, he planted many spies in the hospital. It seemed, it wouldnʼt take long before the truth would be uncovered.

As soon as Lu Che left, the doctor quickly pulled out her phone and gave a call to an unlisted number, ”Theyʼve taken the bait and everything is progressing smoothly. But, I need to meet with you. This matter is too risky, I canʼt handle it on my own.”

As a doctor, she wasnʼt so blinded by money that she couldnʼt determine the seriousness of the matter.

Using a doctor to injure someone had always been easy to uncover. Especially when the almighty CEO of Hai Rui, Mo Ting, was being offended.

So, the doctor needed to make sure that the person she was working with was sincere.

”How can I meet with you?”

”If you refuse to meet, then go look for someone else. Letʼs see if others are willing to take the risk over a bit of money.”

On the other side of the phone, Tang Xuan was furious. They had already agreed on the terms at the beginning that they werenʼt going to meet, yet the doctor suddenly changed her mind. However, she couldnʼt refuse... They were already on the same boat; did she still have the choice to find someone else?

Although she hated being threatened, she still ended up agreeing, ”Tomorrow afternoon, letʼs meet at a cafe near the hospital.”

However, she never expected that this one simple move would end up placing her into the palm of Mo Tingʼs hands, giving him complete control over her life and death.

”What happened?” Mother Zhong asked as she noticed a change in her daughter-in-lawʼs expression.

”The doctor has requested to meet in person and receive cash before agreeing to work with us. She said the risk is too high,” Tang Xuan explained to Mother Zhong.

”Thatʼs actually quite reasonable. Letʼs start making preparations then,” Mother Zhong nodded. ”Also, go get changed into the plainest clothes you own. Itʼs time to go see your grandfather.”

”Yes, mom...”

It appeared, some battles were extinguished like a fire, only to erupt again like a volcano.

...

After resting for two days, Tangning decided to return on set.

However, as she arrived, the production crew all looked at her in sympathy and respect.

Even under her current condition, she still insisted to appear on set. If it was someone else, they would have definitely taken more time off.

In reality, Tangningʼs body was indeed a little uncomfortable...

But, it wasnʼt because she was sick. It was actually because she was pregnant.

On her return to the set, it was hard for the production crew not to notice Mo Ting following by her side. He did not say much. He just quietly assisted her with simple things.

”Ning Jie, are you truly fine?” the props assistant asked. ”If youʼre not feeling well, you should get a few more days rest. After all, we can always film other scenes first.”

”Thank you for your concern, but itʼs not necessary. Iʼm completely fine,” Tangning replied with a smile.

”Donʼt mind the rumors that are going around. Everyone is supporting you. I hope you understand that the entire crew acknowledges you. Whether itʼs your acting or your personality, you are amazing,” the props assistant raised a thumb.

Mo Ting cleared his throat, gesturing to the man that he had said enough. Meanwhile, Tangning looked at him helplessly.

Was he jealous at something so simple? The man was simply showing his concern.

Taka also rushed out to see Tangning after finding out that sheʼd be returning on set. Of course, after his encounter with Mo Ting, all he had left for Tangning was admiration and respect. This was one of the positive features of foreigners, they were dedicated to their work and werenʼt petty. This was also the reason why Tangning managed to tolerate Taka; he was simply childish, but he wasnʼt a bad person.

He was, after all, picked by Mo Ting...

How could he be bad?

”Your news is all over the place. It seems you are quite popular.”

”Of course, Iʼve always been a hot topic of discussion,” Tangning responded in fluent English.

Taka was intimidated by Mo Tingʼs gaze, so he scratched his head in a nervous and awkward manner, ”Anyway, if you need anything from me, just let me know.”

Before Tangning could respond, Taka had already disappeared from sight...

Tangning couldnʼt help but laugh. Seeing her laugh, Mo Ting also smiled.

”Sit here for a moment, Iʼm going to go speak to Director Wei about your upcoming scenes,” Mo Ting pointed to a chair.

However, Tangning stopped him and shook her head, ”I know better than anyone what my upcoming scenes are...”

”Ting, if you acknowledge me as a professional actress, then leave it with me. I know my limits and wonʼt do anything to make you worry. Trust me, OK?”

”If you protect me like this, the entire crew will feel nervous. I donʼt want to see that happen.”

”If you are here to accompany me, then please respect my decisions, OK?”

Stripping back his identity as the CEO of Hai Rui, Mo Ting was perhaps more capable than anyone could compare. But, in front of Tangning, he was just a normal husband who wanted to protect his wife and child.

”Iʼm just worried...”
