Mr.CEO Looks Exactly the Same as My Son!

Chapter 1157: Either He Really Regrets It, or He’s Just Stupid

It’s lunchtime again, and the bodyguard walked in on time with two large food boxes. Beichen Rui is so busy today that he doesn’t have time to come home for lunch.

Lan Shan has been bored staying at home for the past couple of days, so she came over to see her.

The servant pushed the door open, carrying a tray, and Lan Shan looked at it confusedly, "I just saw the food boxes being brought in from outside by the bodyguard through the window, but I didn’t see anyone outside the yard, what’s going on?"

"I’ve never seen him either, I don’t know where Beichen Rui found this person, but the food is really good. I’ve been curious several times, so I went to the window at the exact time but still didn’t see anyone."

Upon hearing this, Lan Shan furrowed her eyebrows, wondering where this person was found, who makes delicious food and delivers it without showing up. Is it really this mysterious?

She glanced at the tray, everything there was good for recovery during postpartum. The soup alone should have taken quite some time to make. Is someone really this dedicated?

"The flavor is really good, do you want to try it?"

"No..." Lan Shan shook her head repeatedly, "Postpartum food doesn’t taste good, I’ve eaten it for a month and I’m already done with it, I don’t want to eat it again!"

Seeing her exaggerated expression, Ye Xinluo couldn’t help but laugh, "Is it that terrifying?"

Why did she feel the taste was actually alright?

Because Ye Xinluo needed peace and rest, Lan Shan didn’t stay long before leaving. She glanced around as she walked out of the yard.

Why does she always feel that the person delivering food is strange?

Is she overthinking it?

...

For several days, the people dispatched by Beichen Rui couldn’t find Beichen Li, until this day, they were about to turn off the lights and rest, and suddenly the phone on the bedside table rang.

He furrowed his eyebrows and quickly muted it, walked out into the corridor to answer the call. As soon as the call connected, Mo Han’s slightly excited voice came from the other end.

"Rui, Beichen Li is back!"

???

Wasn’t he supposed to have fled with the money, why would he walk into the trap on his own?

Anticipating his confusion, Mo Han explained before Beichen Rui had a chance to ask, "Simply put, he didn’t return on his own, he was sent back by someone!"

Beichen Rui: "???"

The confusion in his heart deepened, who would voluntarily return from having fled with embezzled funds unless they were being threatened.

"He’s at the usual place now, are you coming over?"

He turned his head, looking at Ye Xinluo who was about to rest, "See you in half an hour."

After hanging up, he walked back into the room, having not gone to bed yet. Ye Xinluo couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong? Who called you, what did they say?"

Beichen Rui grabbed clothes to change, making Ye Xinluo even more puzzled, "It’s so late, you’re going out?"

"Yeah, got some business."

"Can’t it be dealt with tomorrow? It’s late at night, and you’re still heading out?"

Beichen Rui sat on the edge of the bed. He hadn’t mentioned the uncle’s fleeing with embezzled funds to Ye Xinluo, so she didn’t know what he’d been busy with recently.

So he explained, "Recently, my uncle fled with funds from a project. We’ve been looking for him for ages, and then Mo Han called to say he’s back."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinluo was stunned, "Fled with funds yet returned on his own, pulling my leg, right? He either regrets it or is foolish! How much money did he take? Is this why you’ve been so busy lately?"

"600 million."

600...

She was shocked, thinking about the series of zeros that followed, she couldn’t help but feel dizzy.

Isn’t it, this uncle is also a high-up in Beichen Group, he could’ve made a decent amount being honest, why would he flee with funds?
