Chapter 424 - Found You
As soon as she stepped inside, Li Jing’s eyes widened at what she saw. It was a room filled with so many computer screens.
She did not need someone to tell her what that meant. They were all CCTV footage. It was a place where her grandfather monitored each and everything going in his house and outside.
Moving inside, she switched on the light and proceeded to sit in front of the camera. Taking her time, she looked at almost all of the footage first before her mind reminded her of her grandfather.
’Exactly. I can just watch him here from now on, so as to prevent everyone from knowing exactly where he is being kept.’
No sooner as that thought come into her mind when the corners of her eyes caught something in one of the footage.
’What the..." She paused. Unsure of what to make of what she was seeing.
She watched as one of the maids, particularly, Ju Wang said her goodbye to Alix and rather than leaving the house and heading for the road, she saw her move towards the side of the house while turning to her back and side every second to see if anyone is coming.
The next thing she knew, she saw her bring out her phone, checked the time and read a message then kept the phone back in her pocket before finding her way back inside the house using the back door.
"Interesting."
Li Jing watched on, eagerly waiting to see what she was doing. At first, she felt that she was going to see the guy they talked about in the morning but on later thought, her instincts told her it wasn’t that.
Recalling how she fidgeted, Li Jing’s sixth sense kicked in.
Within a few minutes, she had made her way upstairs to the top rooms where hers and her grandparent’s rooms were.
’This sly fox."
She saw Wang Ju sneak inside her grandmother’s room after picking the lock and closed it behind her.
Li Jing continued to watch on for a few more minutes before standing up with a proud smile on her face. "Bingo found you."

"Hello."
"Hey, love." Her lips pulled back into a graceful smile when she heard his voice.
"Hi, honey. How are you? Sorry for not calling you to check up on you all through the day."
"Nah, it is okay. I know you got your head completely filled with work."
She inhaled deeply at his words. He really was a darling.
"So tell me, how was your first day at work at the company after many months?" His voice pulled her back to the matter at hand.
"I didn’t go."
"You what?"
"Yes."
"Why?" He was confused. He had thought that with the way things were yesterday, she would have been the first one to head to the company today and confront her grand-aunt but here she was telling him she didn’t go. "I am going to assume there is a pretty good reason for that."
"Exactly. There is."
"Great then, let’s hear it."
"I decided to fix things here at home and check grandfather’s study to see the things he was working on before his accident."
"Okay, a nice move I must say. But don’t you think getting proof from there is useless? I mean anyone can get in and erase all proof of anything he was working on before the accident, you know."
Her eyes lit up at his suggestion. She had not thought about that. Her going there was just to see the state of the company and familiarize herself with the happenings of the last few months before going to confront her aunt.
She was sure there were going to be loopholes no doubt. And now, not only did she find out about some, especially in finances, she also figured out an issue in the house via the CCTV footage.
Also, her hubby just gave her a lovely suggestion.
"Brilliant." Li Jing suddenly exclaimed with glee.
"I am happy you find it so but I am afraid to tell you, you might not be getting it since it has been days since the accident."
"Oh honey, I may not have gotten it love but one thing I sure, I know how to check and get it if by any chance something like that was there."
"How?"
"I found out something today just by being in that study."
"I’m all ears, love. You seem excited by what you found. Wait, is it something concerning your mother?"
"Hold on. How do you know about my mother."
’Yikes. I spilt. Shit.’ Ye Cheng said to himself.
"Ye Cheng..." she drew his name long enough to show she was serious and he could not get out of it.
"Fine. I admit I had to make sure things were okay with you and before I proposed our false marriage deal to you, I asked for intel on all that had been going with you for those past six months you were away. Then I found out you had also been trying to find your mother."
"Oh. Just that?"
"Yes."
"Why do I find that hard to believe, hmm?"
"Well, fine. You got me. I also asked my private investigator, to check as well. The more hands in, the faster she would be found, don’t you think?"
"Awwwnnn, you actually wanted to take care of my problems for me."
"You are my wife and the love of my life. Of course, I would take care of all your problems. Anything to put a smile on your face and ensure you get your heart desires, love."
"Thanks very much, dear. I appreciate."
"It is okay. I wanted to surprise you in case I found her first but oh well."
"Hahaha.... Well if you do, then I would still be surprised, notwithstanding."
"I am good dear. Thanks so much for everything."
"Why thank me?"
"Because my wife is exceptional. Now, back to you. What did you find?"
"A very big key to my problems."
"Tell me."
