Long Time, My Baby novel Chapter 38

In a corner of a teahouse in Wilson City, a man in a T-shirt and jeans was looking out of the window with expectation.

An Audi stopped at the door of the teahouse. A woman in a white dress got out of the car in high heels and entered the teahouse.

"Mr. Zhang, long time no see." Lena walked to a corner and sat down.

"Miss Lena." Hearing a sweet voice, the man looked at Lena in surprise.

"What would you like to drink, sir? It's my treat. " Lena sat upright in the chair and looked at the man opposite with a smile.

The man quickly waved his hand and said, "No, thanks. Let's get down to business."

"Mr. Zhang, you are really a straightforward man." Lena lowered her head, took out a U disk from her bag and put it on the table. "I heard that your computer technology is widely recognized in the industry. I want you to do me a favor this time."

"What can I do for you?" The man glanced at the U disk on the table and asked.

"Here are some pictures and videos. I want to change the face of the person inside." Lena came straight to the point and took out a photo from her bag. It was Leah.

"Oh?"

"It's easy to get the reward. I want it to be perfect." Lena had a bank card in her hand.

"500 thousand." The man said.

"Okay, I'll pay 250 thousand first. I'll give you the rest after you finish it." Leaning against the back of the chair, Lena still smiled at the man and said in a strong tone.

"Okay." The man thought for a while and agreed.

"But after this incident..." Lena wanted to say something but stopped. She looked at the man thoughtfully.

The man rolled his eyes and understood what Lena meant. "Miss Leah, don't worry. After this matter, I don't know you, and I have never seen you."

"Mr. Zhang, wish us a pleasant cooperation." Lena stretched out her hand gracefully.

The man shook hands with her politely, "wish us a pleasant cooperation."

In the evening, Alina returned to her private apartment. The room was dark. As soon as she entered, the light was on.

"Where did you go?" A cold voice came.

"Charlie?" Panic flashed through Alina's eyes. "I went out for a walk. It's too stuffy at home."

"Oh?" Sitting on the sofa, Charlie put down the light controller, stood up and walked towards Alina with malicious eyes. "Where have you been?"

"I went to the stores, parks and so on." Alina glanced at Charlie guiltily and then turned her head.

"Did you move the things in the drawer?" He pressed his hands on the door and surrounded her between him and the door.

"What?" Alina was surprised. She had put the U disk back to its original place. How could it be found?

"Is it because you have been a star for too long that your acting skills are so easy to be used and can't be changed at any time?" With a cold smile, Charlie looked at the woman in front of him.

In the past, Charlie thought Alina was beautiful and she was a good match for him. Since he knew her true identity, he had no good impression of her.

"Charlie, are you really going to release that thing?" Alina looked at him in despair.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Charlie raised his eyebrows. Did this woman think he was joking?

"Thump!" Alina knelt on the ground and asked, "Charlie, what did I do wrong?"

"Who let you be against Leah? How dare you set her up without my consent? " Looking at the woman kneeling at his feet, Charlie felt disdainful.

"Charlie, are you in love with her?" Alina looked at Charlie's cold face and asked softly.

Charlie's pupils shrank. He pulled Alina up and pinched her neck with his red eyes. "What did you say?"

Alina grabbed his hand and struggled, "Charlie, you don't love me anymore. You love her, right?"

Charlie loosened his grip and said, "it's none of your business. I have already made you public. As long as you behave yourself, you will be my wife. But look at you! I'm so disappointed. "

Alina didn't say anything. She looked at Charlie with a bitter smile.

"Charlie, if those photos and videos are made public, won't the Glory Group be affected?"

"Are you threatening me?" Said Charlie viciously.

"Charlie, don't you know how much I love you? How can I threaten you? I'm just reminding you. " Alina smiled bitterly.

"No, I warn you. Behave yourself. I will promise you to be rich and powerful. Otherwise, I will turn you from an international superstar to a street beggar." After saying that, Charlie opened the door and strode out.

Alina couldn't help trembling when she heard the heavy slam of the door.

In New York.

Since Lucian's accident, Leah calculated that she had been in America for five or six days. Lucian had recovered very fast, and now he could walk in the yard, although the walking time was short.

"Bugs! Bugs! Who are you missing?"

Leah was drinking tea in the living room. When she heard the bell ring, she put down the teacup in her hand.

"Hello."

"Leah, when will you come back?" It was May. Her voice sounded a little anxious.

"It will take a few days for my friend to recover." Leah took a look at Lucian, who was reading a magazine.

"Leah, something happened. Don't you know? Didn't you read the newspaper? " May looked around in the bathroom, anxious.

"What newspaper?" Leah frowned and felt something was wrong.

"Today's newspaper is full of your photos. The photos are indecent pictures of you and several men, and the video has been spread online. Now it has been reposted five million times." May covered her phone and looked out carefully.

This morning, Vivian came in with a newspaper in her hand. She looked terrible and she criticized Leah. She said that Leah was not only so dissolute, but also knew how to escape. Leah didn't dare to come to the company now.

May was confused. Leah said she was going to take care of her friend. Why did this happen now.

"What's going on? I haven't been in the city these days." Leah stood up and her face changed dramatically.

"I don't know. Maybe someone is setting you up. Come back quickly. I have to hang up." Seeing that Vivian was walking towards the bathroom, May hung up the phone in a hurry.

"May, you are here too." Vivian said in a voice dripping with sarcasm when she saw May.

"Hello, Miss Vivian." May lowered her head.

"Is there any news about Leah these days?" Glancing at May, Vivian took out her face powder and began to fix her makeup.

"Leah said she was still taking care of her friend and would be back soon." May replied, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

"Oh? Then inform her for me to come back as soon as possible. The company has suffered a great loss because of her. " Vivian's hand paused. Looking at May's anxious face from the mirror, she sneered.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Go back to work."

Seeing the anxious look on Leah's face, Lucian frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know. May said that all the newspapers in Wilson City are my indecent photos." Leah slowly sank into the sofa and huddled up. "What should I do?"

Lucian's eyes darkened and took out his phone.

"Rain, help me check all the newspapers in the city and try to block all the news today."

Lucian held Leah's trembling shoulder and said, "don't worry. I'll handle it."

"How could this be? Who is it? " Leah raised her head slowly with red eyes.

"Be strong. I'll figure it out." Lucian held Leah's hand and comforted her.

"I want to go back." Leah looked at Lucian.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"But your wound..." Leah frowned. He had been recovering well these days. What if something happened when he went back.

"Where are you going?" Gary came in and heard their conversation.

"Wilson City." Lucian said in a low voice.

Gary thought for a while and said, "I'll ask Young to go back with you."

He knew the news about Leah. Although it was obvious that someone framed her, it was a good chance for him to gain experience, so Gary didn't object.

"Okay."

Two hours later, Lucian and Leah got off the plane. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the Great Garden.

Rain and Leah helped Lucian get out of the car.

"Sir, you are back." Hugh hurried to greet him.

"Have you found out anything about the newspaper?" Lucian went into the living room, covered his heart and sat on the sofa slowly.

"Those newspapers said that someone gave it to them anonymously, with the information of Leah attached. They have tried their best to clear it now, but it's a drop in the bucket." Rain frowned and looked anxious.

"All the information?" Lucian's eyes turned cold.

"Yes, all the materials, including birth, school and work, except for the thing between Leah and Charlie. I have asked Mr. Angus to identify it, and all the pictures and videos have been modified, and the technology is very good." after a pause, he looked at Leah and said, "Leah, that anonymous man should be very familiar with you. Think about it. Among the people you are familiar with, do you have any grudge against you? "

Leah slowly calmed down and said, "the only person who knows me well should be Charlie. Although Vivian and I have some contradictions, they haven't reached this level. Moreover, she doesn't know me well. As for Alina, she should hate me because of Charlie. If she wants to revenge on me, Charlie can help her find all my information."

"But Charlie is not stupid enough to use the same method for two times." Lucian's eyes darkened and a touch of uneasiness flashed through his heart. It was definitely not that simple.

Leah kept silent. Charlie had come to see her many times, and his attitude was not as bad as before. Moreover, they had nothing to do with each other, so there was no reason to be against her.

"Sir, I don't know if I should say something or not." Hugh, who had been silent all the time, said.

"Go ahead." Lucian looked at Hugh.

"I've also sent someone to investigate Miss Leah's accident. They said that there was a rumor in the Glory Group that Mr. Charlie not only gave a large sum of money to the newspaper after the news was published, but also asked them to withdraw the news. He also said that he was going to hold a press conference tomorrow and wanted to make a public apology for the fact that Miss Alina framed Miss Leah, so I don't think it's Mr. Charlie's plan."

"It seems that it's not that simple." Lucian said in a low voice.
