Chapter 798: Dalang, Get Up and Take Your Medicine

Hence Will had become a suspect?

Nico shook his head firmly. “No, Will wouldn’t harm me. He has been a companion for decades. He has no reason or need to harm me, Beinian.”

Nico’s gaze turned sad, but also determined. “Before you appeared, Will was my only family.”

Family.

The only one.

Li Beinian fell silent and nodded at Nico.

Nico smiled faintly. “Beinian, I can guess who it might be. Leave this matter to me.”

“Really? You already know?” Li Beinian’s eyes lit up. “Who could it be? Someone who works closely with the P.I.T. and is after these things.”

Nico nodded. “I have an idea, but we still need to verify. But who was this person you just mentioned?”

“Lin Ya? He’s the mayor of Guang City, the brother of my brother’s girlfriend and my ex-fiancé’s current wife.”

“Fiancé?” Mu Xichen raised his eyebrow. “Is this how you refer to him in public?”

“It’s ex-fiancé!”

“An ex-fiancé is still a fiancé.” Mu Xichen frowned deeply. “Don’t ever mention him as such again.”

“I only occasionally…”

“Even so you can use his name.” Mu Xichen would listen to no objections. His eyes flashed and he added, “Either that or just call him Big Wolf.”

Li Beinian was dumbstruck.

Li Beinian suddenly imagined herself swaying gracefully as she walked towards a bed holding a bowl of medicine. Then, smiling at Mu Donglin, who was lying on the bed half dead, she said in a gentle tone laced with viciousness, “Big Wolf, get up, it’s time for your medicine.”

Damn! That was wicked!

“That’s not the point. The point is Lin Ya, Lin Ya!” Li Beinian came back to the point. “Lin Ya probably doesn’t know that I’m your daughter yet. He probably wants to pass his sister off as your daughter, and that cane is with them.”

That cane was a token of love between Nico and Bei Xiaonian.

Nico knew at once what Li Beinian was referring to and nodded. “I will investigate.”

“There’s no need to,” Mu Xichen spoke up at this point. “Maybe we can collaborate.”

Nico nodded. “Absolutely.”

As he spoke, Will returned.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere, he smiled slightly. Then, he said respectfully and politely to Nico, “Nico, it has been resolved. Charles has destroyed the will. The few elders who knew about it have also been informed that there is no longer any will.”

Nico nodded. “Thanks for the trouble.”

Li Beinian did not expect Will to handle this matter so simply. She was rather taken aback and started to wonder if she had suspected the wrong person.

Or perhaps… Will only appeared compliant while secretly betraying Nico?

Li Beinian had her suspicions but did not say it aloud.

Given Li Beinian’s urging, Nico finally did not leave Xia Nation.

They also asked Nico to stay for lunch.

Mu Xichen told only Old Master Mo about Nico being Li Beinian’s biological father. Everyone else was made to think that Nico had continued to stay because of the birthday celebration.

This was the outcome of the agreement between Li Beinian and Nico.

This matter was temporarily kept confidential to allow them to do what they needed to.

Three days after Old Master Mo’s birthday, Li Beinian and Mu Xichen returned to Tai Chen Prefecture. At this time, Ma Lin brought an express package from the office. It was addressed to Li Beinian and Mu Xichen.

It was a small box.

Inside the box was an exquisite gift of wedding candy, and a wedding invitation.

From the newlyweds-to-be: Mu Donglin and Lin Kerou.

The wedding was in three days.
