Chapter 1

In recent days, the most sensational news in Hong Kong is the lawsuit between Li Zhongmou, the head of the Li family, for the custody of a six-year-old boy.

The case has caused a sensation in the city before it even went to court. On one side of the incident is the king of the business empire, and on the other side is...

Wu Tong? Who is he?

All the gossip weekly and business journals in the city reported that the media wanted to dig up Wu Tongs background, but it turned out that she had no wealth. She had interned at Lis before graduation seven years ago. Apart from that, she had no connection with the financial tycoon Li Zhongmou.

The paparazzi turned to the child to find gossip, and Lis public relations department issued an official document to order media friends to restrain themselves and not disturb the childs life.

A magazine editor took a knife to lick blood and secretly took a few recent photos of the little boy. As a result, the magazine company was acquired by Lis three days later. The new CEO Li Zhongmou signed the document and the magazine was closed.

The last issue of the magazine sold very well. The little boy on the cover was delicate and lively, and his cute appearance was more pleasing than CEO Lis cold and decisive image.

More media were unwilling to take risks and could only wait for the opening of this centurys child-stealing case.

On this day, several parties gathered in the legal office to try to make a final mediation. Reporters were waiting outside, and the time dragged on too long. On the steps more than ten meters wide outside the building, there were reporters sitting, squatting, and standing. They were all holding cameras and video cameras, and preparing films, just waiting for the parties to appear.

The weather was a bit stuffy. In April, the sunshine in late spring could not see any sadness.

A slightly weak and dim figure came out of the gate, and hundreds of cameras immediately captured it. Everyone rushed forward and rushed to surround it.

Wu Tong was forced to open her eyes by the spotlight. There were reporters all around her. She could not move forward or backward. Questions were thrown at her one by one like bombs.

"Ms. Wu, did you fight with Li Zhongmou in this lawsuit..."

"I heard that the lawyers hired by Li Zhongmou this time..."

"Can you tell us about you and your children..."

She was speechless when she was questioned, and she couldnt help but recall the aggressive lawyer in the legal office, and the cold and domineering man next to the lawyer.

Her face was pale, and she had difficulty walking. The reporters outside wanted to rush forward. The huge microphone passed over the heads of the crowd and reached towards her, even recording her increasingly rapid breathing, refusing to let go.

At this moment, there was a greater commotion behind the crowd-

Li Zhongmou appeared.

Most of the reporters abandoned this side and wanted to besiege the other side. Before they could get close to Li Zhongmou, they were stopped by several black-clad bodyguards. Li Zhongmou passed through the eyes of the crowd without leaving any trace.

But he stopped when passing Wu Tong.

She was overwhelmed by the reporters and did not see him.

But he saw her.

Li Zhongmou frowned slightly, and the next second he pulled Wu Tong out by some unknown method.

The reporters were unable to react in time, and Wu Tong only felt that her vision was turned upside down. When she looked up again, she found that she was being hugged and walked down the stairs. The arm across her shoulder was strong and powerful, leading her step by step out of the siege.

She suddenly lost her strength.

She didnt dare to turn her head to look even once.

The reporters wanted to chase, the bodyguards blocked the way ahead, and Li Zhongmous assistant Lin Jianyue was soon drowned by the reporters. Lin Xiaoyan thanked the media friends for their concern, but he remained tight-lipped about the case and said that he had nothing to say.

The Maybach was parked on the side of the road. Wu Tong was pushed into the back seat. She struggled subconsciously, but her strength was ridiculous compared to someone else. Li Zhongmou then got in the car and closed the door with a "bang".

The car accelerated perfectly and stayed away from the trouble.

Wu Tong glanced at the rearview mirror. Several reporters who were unwilling to give up were still chasing the rear of the car and taking pictures. She was about to look away, but her eyes turned away and collided with Li Zhongmous.

He was observing her, secretly and carefully.

With a tremor in her heart, Wu Tong tilted her head and saw the car driving down the interchange. She couldnt help but raise her voice and said, "Stop!"

The driver, Lao Song, was the best at observing peoples expressions. Hearing this, he was about to step on the brakes, but seeing that Li Zhongmou had no expression on his face, he ignored the ladys request.

The car was still driving smoothly, and Wu Tong sat there, biting her lips all the time.

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a low and indifferent male voice like a cello sounded in her ears: "Where are you going, Miss Wu? Ill take you there."

Wu Tong felt mixed emotions in her heart, and she didnt answer, hanging her neck.

The silence in the car was long and meaningful, and this woman was full of the aura of "stay away from strangers".

Previously, Li Zhongmou had handed over the child custody issue to Lin Jianyue. Occasionally, he heard Jianyues reports, and he always said how tough this womans attitude was and how she would never give in.

She insisted on leaving Hong Kong and taking the child with her, but in the end, they still couldnt reach an agreement. Li Zhongmou didnt want to waste time, so he went to the law firm to send a lawyers letter.

Just now in the legal office, she still insisted on not changing the custody, but she didnt dare to look him in the face when she spoke.

Where did this woman lose her strength when facing him?

Such a contradiction... Li Zhongmou admitted that he was a little curious.

After a long time, when Li Zhongmou almost thought that she had compromised, she spoke again: "I have to go back to the company to deal with some things. Mr. Li, you have such a bad relationship with our boss now. You probably dont want to be photographed by reporters downstairs of my company, right?"

This womans tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and she hit the point accurately in one sentence. Li Zhongmou was surprised, raised his eyebrows slightly, and began to look at her.

Wu Tong paused and looked away.

This mans eyes were cold, which was more timid than the cold eyes, but it was like a quagmire, causing people to sink deeply.

It made her fall into an irreversible situation.

Li Zhongmou still stared at her, with a bit of scrutiny in his pupils. He lowered his eyebrows, thought for half a second, and then raised his eyes, "Old Song, stop the car."

As soon as the car stopped, the woman opened the door and crossed the road to the bus stop on the other side, regardless of the traffic.

On this side, the Maybach did not drive away, but turned around and stopped in the parking space.

Li Zhongmou, who was in the back seat, glanced at the figure who was huddled behind the team waiting for the bus. He retracted his gaze, swiped out the laptop embedded in the car, and began to process the documents.

He activated the touch screen function, held the computer pen, and quietly clicked and flipped through the documents.

On this side, Wu Tong was also quiet. She sat there waiting for the bus, and annoyance permeated the corners of her eyebrows.

She couldnt figure out how things had come to this point?
