Suppressing the Movie Queen

Su Yu stared blankly at Ling Mo, who had suddenly moved closer to her. Her pupils trembled slightly, and a trace of fear appeared in her heart for no reason.

Logically speaking, other than Zhao Jingchun and the few mainstream media outlets that had received hush money, no one else should know about this matter.

Ling Mo was just a wild girl from the countryside. It was obviously impossible for her to have any interaction with people in the circle.

Since that was the case, how did she find out about this news?

Su Yu was flustered, but she could only pretend to be calm and ask in a low voice, "Who told you about this?"

"When Nanny Wu and Nanny Zhang were chatting, she mentioned it. I thought she was just simply saying it, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"Impossible."

Su Yu shook her head, not believing what Ling Mo said.

Ling Mo shrugged and asked with a smile,

"Then, where do you think I found out about this matter?"

"..."

Su Yu looked at Ling Mo's dark eyes and her eyelids twitched. She suddenly realized that she had almost fallen for this little foxs words again.

"What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight?"

She temporarily put aside the doubts in her heart and tried her best to deny that she'd paid a large sum of hush money. "What do you mean by public relations fees? If I really spent this money, there wouldn't be negative headlines, would there?"

Ling Mo was noncommittal. A faint smile hung on her face the entire time.

However, that smile did not reach her eyes at all.

Su Yu, who was already feeling a little guilty, felt a chill down her spine when she saw Ling Mo's strange expression for the first time.

"What are you laughing at?"

Su Yu's voice was slightly trembling because of her overly tense nerves.

"I'm laughing at aunty's small guts. What are you afraid of? This is a society ruled by law. Do you think I will eat you alive?"

Ling Mo strolled to the bedside table and looked at the pale Su Yu as if she was superior. She enunciated each word clearly, "I heard that experienced actors could suppress other actors with their strong aura, causing them to make mistakes frequently. I originally thought that you aunty, who is a movie queen, should have a strong aura. I didn't expect you to be suppressed so easily by me."

Su Yu was slow to realize. When she realized that she had been "suppressed" by a little girl, she was so angry that she picked up the pillow behind her and threw it in the direction of the bedroom door.

Ling Mo pretended not to see.

She straightened her back and walked out of the master bedroom calmly. Before she left, she did not say mockingly, "The so-called movie queen is just so-so."

"B * stard daughter of a b * tch, watch how I deal with you!"

Su Yu did not expect Ling Mo to be so bold. She had only returned to the Ling residence for a week, and she dared to openly declare war on her, the madam of the Ling family, who held real power in her hands.

If this continued, wouldn't she be rebelling against the heavens?

In order to show her power to Ling Mo, Su Yu no longer cared about the rumors on Weibo. She turned around and changed into a rose-red suit. With a deep hatred in her heart, she rushed downstairs.

At the foot of the staircase, Ling Mo, who had just changed into her school uniform, broke out of her usual indifference. She smiled and stuffed a red packet into Nanny Wu's hands. "Nanny Wu, happy birthday."

"How did Miss Mo know my birthday?"

Nanny Wu weighed the red packet in her hand and roughly estimated that there should be two thousand in it. She instantly beamed with joy.

Su Yu saw her trusted aide being coaxed so easily by Ling Mo. She was burning with anger and yelled at Nanny Wu, "Nanny Wu! What have you been doing for half a day? I haven't seen you at all!"

"Madam, I was cleaning up with Nanny Zhang and the others just now."

Nanny Wu's expression was solemn as she hurriedly put the red packet into her trouser pocket. In the blink of an eye, she pointed at Nanny Zhang, who was mopping the floor, to prove that she was not slacking off.

"Ungrateful wretch."

Su Yu snorted coldly and her trust in Nanny Wu was reduced by more than half in an instant.

Ling Mo indifferently glanced at Su Yu, whose expression was getting uglier and uglier, and the corners of her lips curled into a strange arc.

She knew clearly in her heart that since Su Yu was able to turn a bad hand into a winning one. Her strength was definitely not to be underestimated.

Since even the top-tier intelligence system was unable to find any evidence against Su Yu, she could only settle for the second best option and started investigating the people around Su Yu.

Although Su Yu had always trusted Nanny Wu, this did not mean that their relationship was as strong as it appeared. If she wanted to break the trust between them, she had to choose the method that was equivalent to slowly boiling a frog in warm water. She had to be subtle with her words and erode their psychological defenses bit by bit.

Ling Yunlong was just about to leave when he saw that Su Yu was still unhappy. He coaxed her gently, "Yu'er, are you still angry? You don't have to care about the rumors on the internet. I'll find someone to negotiate with in a while."

"Why should I care? I know I'm innocent. I'm just afraid that someone will not let go of such a small matter in our family and affect the company's reputation."

Su Yu sighed faintly and muttered softly, "The things that have gone wrong in the past two days have happened all at once. Why don't I ask my cousin to tell our fortune soon?"

Ling Mo raised her brows slightly and only then did she remember that Su Yu had a cousin who was a scammer.

Seven years ago, Su Yu's scammer cousin had firmly asserted that she was cursed by fate. If she was raised at home for a long period of time, not only would it affect their luck, it would also affect their descendants.

Ling Yunlong, who was eager to have a child, firmly believed in this nonsense. He forcefully blamed the miscarriage of Su Yu, Ling Tian falling down the stairs, and other disasters on Ling Mo. Without hesitating, he sent her to the countryside.

At that time, he said that he was sending her to the countryside for foster care, but in reality, he was abandoning her. In the past seven years, he had not paid a single cent for her foster care.

As he recalled the past, Ling Mo's gaze turned colder.

"Your cousin has been training in Mount Han for the past few years?"

Ling Yunlong was thinking of letting Su Yu's cousin tell his career fortune, but just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, his thoughts were interrupted by a call from the police.

After he pressed the answer button, he habitually turned on the speakerphone.

Then, a clear voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Ling, the kidnappers who caused a ruckus at your daughter's birthday party yesterday have been captured and brought to justice. According to the leader of the kidnappers, they were only paid to do their job. As for who the main culprit is, they are not very clear."

Ling Mo observed Su Yu's expression. Seeing that her expression changed, she was even more certain of her guess.

Based on the current situation, Su Yu was most likely the employer behind the group of armed kidnappers. Even if she did not personally handle this matter, she definitely could not escape responsibility.

Thinking of this, Ling Mo suddenly leaned towards Ling Yunlong's phone that was pressed to his ear and asked softly, "Can you check their bank accounts? Since they were paid to do things, the person behind them has most likely already transferred part of the remuneration to their accounts. Perhaps, if we start from the bank accounts, we could find information about the person behind them."

Hearing Ling Mo's words, Su Yu's heart thumped and a trace of panic flashed across her eyes.

Although this matter was not personally handled by her, if they continued investigating, it would definitely implicate her.
