Lu Li is a person so stubborn he’s almost paranoid. Initially, Qin Mobai would ridicule Lu Li for watching the money in his account grow while no woman helped him spend it.

In fact, many women wanted to help Lu Li spend his money, but Lu Li didn’t randomly find a woman to do so, preferring scarcity to mediocrity.

After waiting for many years, he finally found Bai Lu. Qin Mobai could see Lu Li’s seriousness and sense of responsibility towards Bai Lu, but what Qin Mobai didn’t expect was that Bai Lu also saw the hidden side of Lu Li.

Qin Mobai could only offer some objective advice, and Lu Li would have to make his own subjective judgment.

"If you can’t, just find her back," Qin Mobai said lightly. However, he himself was swamped, primarily needing to find Lou Xi immediately, so he had no time or energy to help Lu Li find Bai Lu.

Knowing that Lu Li was troubled by Bai Lu’s matter, Qin Mobai didn’t tell him that the current Lou Xi was not the real Lou Xi.

At this moment, Qin Mobai didn’t even know the name of that woman. She hid too well, or the information was deliberately destroyed. Qin Mobai wondered who could still have the ability and courage to challenge him.

Shen Ruozhuo? Recently Shen Ruozhuo has been trying to please her adoptive parents and, relying on her friendship with Mu Jinsu, intends to reshape her image.

"The most poisonous thing is a woman’s heart," this saying Qin Mobai believed, so he had to thoroughly investigate Shen Ruozhuo.

Or Jin Xunyang? Recently, Qin Mobai has been competing with Jin Xunyang over a major government collaboration. Is Jin Xunyang planning a fatal strike at the critical moment?

Or perhaps Xi Siwei, the defeated opponent, planning a desperate counterattack because of dissatisfaction?

Who else...

Qin Mobai combed through his mind repeatedly for individuals who might have orchestrated all of this, but he was clueless.

"What’s wrong with you?" Lu Li seemed to finally notice Qin Mobai’s furrowed brow, finding it peculiar since this was rare for Qin Mobai, so he asked.

Qin Mobai snapped back to reality, his brow slowly easing as he looked at Lu Li and said, "Nothing. Make up your mind whether to return to work or continue searching for Bai Lu."

He swiftly changed the topic to avoid worrying Lu Li.

Lu Li pondered for a moment and said, "Better to return to work, leave some time for Bai Lu to calm down. Perhaps when she’s figured things out, she’ll come back naturally."

"True." Qin Mobai rose from his chair, "Since you’re back to work, there are some important tasks I need you to follow up on, as you haven’t been coming to the company lately."

"Where doesn’t he go instead of the company?"

"He has other matters to attend to."

"Going back to the non-stop work life again, does your wife know that you’re exploiting the workforce?"

Qin Mobai was taken aback and again a picture of Lou Xi flashed in his mind.

This time, unusually, Qin Mobai didn’t retort Lu Li, merely patted Lu Li’s shoulder twice before leaving the conference room.

Lu Li found it strange because previously Qin Mobai wouldn’t easily let him go and would certainly show off his affection, saying his wife wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters.

But today Qin Mobai said nothing like that.

Was it because Qin Mobai knew he had just lost Bai Lu and didn’t want to hurt his fragile heart?

If that’s the case, Qin Mobai seems somewhat humane, not building joy on others’ suffering.

But if Lu Li knew that the reason Qin Mobai didn’t argue with him today was because of Lou Xi’s matter, knowing the truth, Lu Li would surely shed tears.
