Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The Cute Baby Extorts the Scumbag Dad

    The paparazzi waiting on site for coverage, and the guests invited to the press conference, were suddenly shocked and abuzz.

    President Li and Miss Shen were known as a deeply in love couple, yet it was all a fac?ade—President Li actually had an illegitimate child out there!

    Li Lingyang thought this was a mischievous child causing trouble from who knows where, but when he saw the kid''s tender face clearly, his heart skipped a beat in shock—the child looked so much like him!

    He grabbed the child''s tender arm, "Who is your Mommy?"

    Chen Bao, unable to wiggle free with his small arms and legs, gave up struggling and just looked at him with big eyes, full of grievance and innocence.

    "Daddy, I never imagined you would be so heartless. Although Mommy was just a humble maid, she was with you for many years and even bore me, your big son. But now that you have someone new, you cast us aside and never bothered to check on us."

    "Now Mommy is seriously ill, and I can no longer afford to go to school. I might as well take my broken bowl and go begging under the overpass..."

    The little one''s eyes were brimming with tears, his accusation choking up, crying like a little kitten, immediately arousing the sympathy of the paparazzi.

    Li Lingyang could clearly feel that the way people looked at him had changed, filled with scrutiny and disdain.

    The hand gripping the child''s arm tightened slightly as he picked up the little guy horizontally.

    The sudden feeling of being lifted into the air stunned Chen Bao, who looked at him in horror.

    "Didn''t you say I''m your daddy? Since we haven''t seen each other for so long, we should catch up properly," Li Lingyang said, sporting a thin, dangerous smile as he strode toward the room on the second floor.

    "President Li, the new drug press conference is about to start..." Special Assistant Xu reminded him in surprise.

    "Postpone it!" Li Lingyang didn''t look back, his eyes colder than ever, as he ordered, "Clear out the venue. I don''t want this incident leaked."

    The bodyguards went around collecting everyone''s cameras, but nobody noticed that in an inconspicuous corner, a little girl around four years old was sneakily hiding the phone she had finished taking photos with...

    Ningning slung her little yellow duck backpack over her shoulder, wearing a cute child''s face mask, and swaggered past the blockade.

    "Uncle, Ningning needs to go to the restroom," she said, flashing a charming smile.

    The bodyguard, busy collecting phones and maintaining order, let her through upon seeing she was just a harmless child, and warned her, "Hurry up and go. Things are a bit chaotic here, don''t come back after you go."

    Ningning blinked her big eyes, as beautiful as the crescent moon, "Thank you, uncle."

    She paused at the restroom entrance.@@@@

    Carefully recognizing the male and female signs.

    Li Lingyang''s voice lowered slightly, authoritative without rage, "Are you threatening me?"

    Chen Bao snorted lightly, "I''ll give you half an hour to think it over."

    Li Lingyang found it unbelievable that a child could infiltrate the press conference and display such meticulous logic, but finding out who was behind him was key.

    "Alright, I''ll give you one billion!"

    Chen Bao was not surprised; to his trash father, worth tens of billions, one billion was nothing.

    Soon after, Chen Bao received a bank card from Li Lingyang with a billion in it, no PIN, withdrawable at any counter.

    Chen Bao blew a kiss and disappeared with the card.

    Li Lingyang watched his receding figure, his thin lips slightly curving up, instructing Xu, "That kid must have someone behind him. Send someone to follow him immediately, see where he eventually ends up."

    He wanted to see who had grown tired of living, concocting a child to scheme against him.

    Even as he thought this, Ning Yichu''s face involuntarily flashed through his mind.

    Five years ago, when she left, she was pregnant—and the child...

    Could he be related to her?

    But he remembered very clearly, he never touched her!

    Half an hour later, Li Lingyang received a call from Xu.

    "President Li, that kid is especially clever, had us running in circles seven or eight times, but luckily, we placed a tracker on him beforehand. It''s showing he''s entered the Guangpu Building, there seems to be some activity here today, it''s very busy. I think he''s probably meeting with the person behind this here."

    The Guangpu Building wasn''t far, just a couple of kilometers away. Li Lingyang glanced at the address, "Have someone keep watch, I''ll be right there."

    ...

    Inside the Guangpu Building, where the crowd surged.

    Ning Yichu was holding a book signing event here today, but just before it started, she found that her two kids were missing!

    What was going on, she went to use the restroom and the siblings vanished?

    Five years ago, after her divorce, she chose to further her studies in Europe, and later gave birth to a pair of twins prematurely.
