On the other end of the line, Lin Ya paused for a moment. Then, his usual calm smile returned.
He adjusted his glasses and said slowly, “Biological child? Tell me then, is it a man or a woman?”
“Did you know though?” Mu Donglin asked.
Lin Ya chuckled. “You want to keep me in suspense? Donglin, you know my temper.”
Mu Donglin raised his eyebrow slightly. “Hmm? What would you doq?”
Lin Ya narrowed his eyes slightly. “Who is it?”
The question was: Who.
Not where.
It seemed that Lin Ya already had a clue.
Mu Donglin already had an idea, but he didn’t say it aloud. “Why don’t you make a guess?”
Lin Ya lost most of his patience and his voice turned cold. “Mu Donglin!”
“Uh huh?” Mu Donglin could almost imagine Lin Ya’s expression now, and that put him in a good mood. “Right before your eyes.”
Lin Ya sneered. “So it seems, we’re looking for the same person.”
“Seems like it.” Mu Donglin did not say who it was. He smiled and continued, “They do a good job with the security in Tai Chen Prefecture. Mu Xichen lives there too. Just the security alone cost a lot of money. I’m afraid this person is not easy to deal with.”
Lin Ya was no longer smiling. “You already knew. Why are you asking me?”
“I just wanted to find out what exactly you meant.” Mu Donglin turned on the computer. “Now it seems that you’re very guarded against me. Since that’s the case, what you’ve assigned to me are but the periphery tasks, right?”
Lin Ya said, “Whether they are periphery, I’m sure you have your own sensing about it.”
“I wouldn’t know,” Mu Donglin replied coldly. He had already started moving the mouse and now was opening up the file containing information that Chen Ye had gathered. It was all about Nico Rothschild.
Lin Ya said, “Donglin, we’re family now. I have no need to hide many things from you.”
“Oh?” Mu Donglin looked at Nico who was sitting in a wheelchair wearing a cast. “So what’s going on with the Rothschild matter?”
“Are you questioning me?”
“I’m asking you.”
“Ha.” Lin Ya chuckled with obvious displeasure. “Even if you know about this, I suggest that you’d better not get involved.”
“Why?” Mu Donglin opened Beiyun’s photo album and saw the words “Bei Yong”. He added, “Could it be that you want it all to yourself?”
“All to myself?” Lin Ya’s voice was emotionless. He chuckled and said, “Whether that is possible, we’ll only know after we try.”
Mu Donglin narrowed his eyes.
He couldn’t tell if Lin Ya was joking or serious.
To them, Rothschild was undoubtedly a huge undertaking.
Besides… Rothschild wasn’t related to them, right?
If he was serious, then it was way too ambitious.
Mu Donglin was secretly shocked and asked again, “Do you already have a plan?”
“Ha.” Lin Ya laughed ambiguously. “You don’t have to bother about this. Just mind your own business. Kerou is pregnant, so you have to be more careful.”
Before Mu Donglin could say anything, Lin Ya hung up.
Mu Donglin looked at the call page for a long time and suddenly laughed. His gaze fell on the computer screen.
Bei Xiaonian and Li Beinian’s photos were placed together. The similarity was as high as 68%.
It was her, no mistake about it.
