Chen Mo could attend the reception without any issues, as he was still suspended.
However, Tian Mengyao could not participate because she had to be on duty that night.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo and Tian Mengyao finished their meal and went downstairs to take Tian Mengyao to the hospital for work.
But as the two of them just stepped out of the building, they saw a luxury car parked in the yard.
Beside the luxury car stood two familiar figures.
"Brother-in-law!" one of them called out to Chen Mo with a playful grin.
They were Mo Xiaojing and Mo Jialong.
Mo Xiaojing looked a bit tired, her eyes were red, clearly she hadn't slept well, and had even cried.
Seeing this scene, Tian Mengyao looked puzzled and glanced at Chen Mo beside her.
"Let's go, we're going to work," Chen Mo said, taking Tian Mengyao's hand and walking towards the car.
Seeing that Chen Mo didn't even look at her, Mo Xiaojing's eyes welled up again.
Mo Jialong quickly nudged Mo Xiaojing, "Sister, where did your usual domineering side go? Do as I say, act cute. Men are most afraid of women acting cute. As long as you act cute to your brother-in-law, everything can be resolved."
"But he didn't even look at me just now," Mo Xiaojing struggled internally.
"Sister, if you don't go now, Chen Mo will leave!" Mo Jialong urged again.
Mo Xiaojing bit her lip and finally walked towards Chen Mo.
"Chen Mo."
Just as Chen Mo was about to get into the car, Mo Xiaojing suddenly called out to him.
Chen Mo paused and turned to look at Mo Xiaojing.
However, Chen Mo's gaze was very calm, "Miss Mo, is there something?"
Hearing Chen Mo's cold voice, Mo Xiaojing felt as if her heart had been pricked by a needle.
"About yesterday," Mo Xiaojing was about to speak when Chen Mo interrupted her.
"Miss Mo, I've already made myself very clear about yesterday. I have nothing more to do with the Mo family. I have other things to attend to, so please excuse yourself." With that, Chen Mo got into the car.
Seeing Chen Mo's car drive away, Mo Xiaojing's heart felt like it had shattered.
She truly regretted it now. If she had understood the situation before trying to protect her elder brother, she wouldn't have incurred Chen Mo's displeasure.
"Sister, brother-in-law might still be angry. He'll definitely forgive us when he calms down," Mo Jialong quickly comforted her.
Mo Xiaojing wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, got into the car in despair, and sped away from the yard.
Mo Jialong sighed, "Alas, what is love in this world? It only makes people willing to die for it."
"It's all Mo Jialiang's fault. If it weren't for him, this wouldn't have happened between them. It seems I still need to find a way to ease their relationship."
Just then, Mo Jialong suddenly noticed something was wrong. He looked at the empty yard and quickly chased after the car, "Hey, sister, I haven't gotten in the car yet! Wait for me!"
In the car, Tian Mengyao looked at Chen Mo and asked, "You guys? Did something happen?"
Chen Mo shook his head, "No."
"Mhm," Tian Mengyao saw that Chen Mo didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't ask any further questions.
Soon, the two arrived at the hospital.
Tian Mengyao went directly to her department to start work, while Chen Mo went to the ward where Zhou Yunsheng's father-in-law had previously resided.
It was the same ward Tian Mengyao had stayed in before. After Tian Mengyao was discharged, the other person moved in.
Yesterday, the Old Ancestor had reminded him that the old man had died of suffocation.
With normal lung function, such a situation would not have occurred. The only possibility was that someone had murdered the old man.
As expected, when Chen Mo examined the old man's bedside, he saw several bite marks on the pillow, with a few small holes bitten through.
Then, Chen Mo observed other parts of the bed and found no signs of a struggle.
"This means that at least two people attacked the old man simultaneously. One person covered his mouth and nose with the pillow, while the other held down his hands," Chen Mo deduced.
"You brat, you're quite smart. You can even deduce the scene of the murder like this." The Old Ancestor's voice echoed in Chen Mo's mind.
Chen Mo gave a bitter smile, "Old Ancestor, what's the use of knowing the situation? We still don't know who did it."
"Hmph, I call you stupid because you can deduce the murder scene, but I call you smart because you can't figure out such a simple thing," the Old Ancestor snorted helplessly.
Chen Mo quickly asked, "Old Ancestor, did you see something?"
The Old Ancestor reminded him, "A VIP ward, no matter what, the security should be good. Do you think someone could sneak past the security guards and the nurses' station and kill him?"
Chen Mo suddenly realized, "You mean, this was an inside job!"
"Think about it yourself." The Old Ancestor said no more, offering no further reminders.
However, Chen Mo had already guessed something, especially Zhou Yunsheng's reaction that day, which made Chen Mo immediately list him as a suspect.
Taking out his phone, Chen Mo directly called Ma Sihai.
He asked him to check Zhou Yunsheng's current location.
This was a simple task for Ma Sihai. Within minutes, a location was sent to Chen Mo's phone.
"Yun She Tea House." Seeing the name on the location, Chen Mo frowned slightly.
His father-in-law had just passed away, and he still had the mood to go to a tea house for a drink.
Chen Mo did not linger in the ward and drove to the Yun She Tea House.
Yun She Tea House was a detached house located in the suburbs.
It also had a large yard, the environment was very good, and more importantly, it was very quiet.
However, when Chen Mo arrived, he discovered something unexpected.
Because outside Yun She Tea House, there was a car parked. Chen Mo was very familiar with this car; it was the BMW driven by Chen Wenbin.
"Why is he here too?" Chen Mo frowned slightly.
To avoid alerting them, Chen Mo parked his car at a corner not far from Yun She Tea House, so as not to be discovered by Chen Wenbin.
Then, Chen Mo slowly walked towards Yun She Tea House.
After telling the staff that he was there for tea, the staff led him to the second floor of the small building.
This floor was all private rooms.
Chen Mo asked curiously, "I saw a car parked outside. Are people already here for tea so early?"
The staff member smiled and replied, "We open early, and the environment is good, so some customers come earlier."
"They must be discussing very important matters, otherwise they wouldn't come so early," Chen Mo asked casually.
The staff member shook his head, "I don't know. After they arrived, they asked for the innermost private room and haven't come out since."
Chen Mo's gaze then fell on the closed door of the innermost private room.
