Marriage Rights: Billionaire's Forgotten Wife

Chapter 154 - Looking for the truth

Yu Qiao returned to his hotel room in a cab. It did not take long for him to sleep, soundly the moment his head hit the bed.

When he woke up, Yu Qiao resumed work as quickly as possible. He would often mutter 'time is money,' as he worked.

He was often tapping the table whenever he talked. He would also be agitated when deadlines aren't met and seen shaking his wrist and circularly moving his arm.

Joey was watching everything from Country Phi, while his boss was in County F commanding like a military man to his incompetent subordinates.

He was quite friendly with staff but not during business processes, and all this was happening remotely.

Yu Qiao's father told him that not paying due attention to duty almost cost them their business. He was not ready to lose anything at least not after they went bankrupt years ago.

It took the intervention of the Mo family, to put them back in business when he accepted the marriage proposal.

Aside from acting CEO of Yu Corp and the official Finacial advisor for Mo Company, he was also the CEO of Cosmos, a financial holding company that he had built up three years ago with the help of Nikos.

Yu Qiao was also quite interested in what he called 'the business of the woods.' Some little money here and there wouldn't hurt. It's called investment.

Nikos, Yu Qiao's business associate, dealt on under the table goods. Nikos had always believed that since the business thrived, it means it still has a market. Yu Qiao shares the same sentiment. He invests some money into Nikos other businesses as well. Especially with guns and cars.

It contributes about twenty percent of his income. This way, he thought, he would always remain in business.

Nikos was in City P in early February with one of his men to find out about Mo Bai.

Incidentally, Yu Qiao was not aware that he knew the man that was in charge to look for 'Mo Bai.'

 If he knew, would he be at peace for knowing that Piore was greatly related to his own wife?

Piore was lucky to have come when Mo Bai's brand had its exhibition. With Nikos, he was able to start acting in the business world as well. One of the clients that they have was the clothing line that Mo Bai recently modeled for.

Strangely as well, Piore had the instinct that Mo Bai and Mo Lihua were the same people.

'But she was supposed to be in jail, right?' Piore thought deeply. Mo Lihua was sentenced to a lifetime of imprisonment due to nine counts of murder. Ironically, the people she was expecting to help her that night were also the people that arrested her.

Piore was so curious that he quickly bought tickets and were ready for the show. Sadly, there was no sign of a Mo Bai among the models.

All the designers but one seemed to know the lady that wears lavender perfume. She was also known as the lady on the black wedding dress as it was her most standout appearance.

The designer, who called herself Tina Marley, only said she was also looking for her but was told that she had traveled out of the country.

Nikos and Piore made efforts to find directions to the model. Piore personally taking the task dangerous, made it a point to drop by at the address that they have obtained.

Fortunately, there was someone at home. Piore was losing his patience and getting excited simultaneously.

"Hello, Hi," Piore greeted the host.

"Welcome, how may I help you," She was a middle-aged lady with living with a child that could be about five years old.

"I presume you are related to Mo Bai?"

'You mean Bai Zu?' she asked with a frown.

"No, Mo Bai, the fashion model", he felt it was a joke.

"Is she on TV?" the lady's child asked coming forward to hold her mother's hand.

"No kid," Piore answered with a slight temper. The house looked terrible; he thought to himself. By all standards, Mo Bai wouldn't be here he thought.

Who did they see then? Was it Mo Lihua?

"Do you have any model that uses lavender living under your roof?" Piore asked, feeling stupid. He was disappointed.

"My cousin, Bai Li," she said. "She has traveled back to school. Is anything wrong?"

"No," he replied. "Not at all," he was stammering. There was no way she would be here, Piore thought to himself. She has to be a con.

Piore knew Yu Qiao and especially Mo Lihua. Something was going on, and he had the feeling that everything would be answered if he visited her in prison.

Piore does not have any idea, what is going on. He was confident he had gotten himself into something that was already put off for years that will surely turn the current peaceful Doncrelli upside down. He just hopes this time, Mo Lihua was prepared.
