Chapter 313 Emergency Incident
The next morning, Mo Zhu received a call from the hospital early in the morning. She heard from the doctor that Feng Yu’s condition had stabilized a lot. Although he had not woken up, after the poison in his body was slowly disappearing, she was so happy that she ate an extra bowl of porridge for breakfast. Because she had been busy until late last night, Mo Zhu couldn’t wait to lie on the table and catch up on her sleep the moment she arrived in the classroom today. She planned to bring Huo Xuan to see Feng Yu’s condition after school.
The morning flew by. Before class in the afternoon, Li Xiao specially came to Class Eight’s classroom to inform the students who had passed the preliminary round of the Mathematics competition that they were leaving for Beijing to participate in the training tomorrow. He arranged for everyone to go home and pack their luggage before gathering at the school gate of Jingyang High School early in the morning. They would then take the school bus specially arranged by the school to go to Beijing
Unknowingly, it was already time for school to end in the afternoon. After the bell rang, under Meng Ran’s urging, Mo Zhu lazily carried the backpack that the little girl had packed for her and walked towards the school gate. Seeing Huo Xuan’s car parked at the entrance from afar, Mo Zhu frowned in confusion. She went forward and knocked on the car window. Then, an unfamiliar man she had never seen before got out of the car.
The person was wearing a camouflage suit and exuded the aura of a righteous soldier. He walked quickly to Mo Zhu and looked at the girl carefully for two seconds before saying respectfully, “Ms. Mo Zhu, hello. I’m Mo Qi. Young Master had something on today and couldn’t pick you up, so he specially sent me to send you home.”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she looked up at Kang Wan and Jiang Yu, who were standing not far away and waiting eagerly for Uncle Zhang to pick them up. She pointed at the two of them and said to Mo Qi, “Go inform them to get in the car.”
After saying this, Mo Zhu opened the door and got into the car with familiarity. She recalled that Huo Xuan had promised her to visit Feng Yu after school. Although she didn’t know what important matter had delayed him, she still felt a little irritated.
Mo Qi looked at Mo Zhu’s back view as she got into the car neatly and closed the door coolly. He scratched his head in confusion and obediently took two steps forward to pick her up according to the girl’s instructions.
Due to some special reasons, he had just been called back to the country by Huo Xuan this morning. Previously, he had been hearing Mo Wu and Mo Jiu complain about how amazing Ms. Mo was. Now that he finally saw her in person, although he had seen Mo Zhu’s information and knew that she was a high school student in her teens, he still found it difficult to believe the words his brothers used to describe her as amazing when he saw her.
After bringing Kang Wan and Jiang Yu into the car, Mo Qi started the car and drove straight towards the Huo residence. About ten minutes later, a hurried ringtone of his phone suddenly came from the quiet car.
Mo Zhu was resting lazily against the back of the chair. When she heard the piercing voice, she frowned unhappily.
It was a call from Mo Qi’s phone. He took his phone out of his pocket skillfully and looked at the caller ID before answering the call.
The volume of the man’s phone was set very low. Even though Mo Zhu’s hearing was very good, she did not hear who was talking to Mo Qi.
In this situation, she could only hear Mo Qi’s low reply from the front passenger seat. “What? Sure, I’ll rush over now!”
After saying this, it seems like something tricky had happened on the other end of the phone. Mo Qi hung up and quickly parked the car by the road.
He turned around and looked at Mo Zhu. He frowned uneasily and said, “Ms. Mo, I might not be able to send you back to the Huo family. Now that something has happened on Young Master’s side, I need to rush over immediately. It’s convenient to take a taxi at this intersection. I’ll have to trouble you to take a taxi back this time.”
Chapter 314 Xu Huan’s Disappearance
Upon hearing Mo Qi’s words, Mo Zhu nodded in understanding. She opened the car door neatly and turned to instruct Jiang Yu, who was in the back row. “Xiao Yu, bring this troublesome girl back to the Huo family and don’t let her run around. I’ll go and see what’s going on there.”
When Jiang Yu heard this, she had heard Mo Qi’s words just now and guessed that it might be because something had happened to Huo Xuan and Sister Mo wanted to rush over personally to take a look. She looked up at Mo Zhu worriedly and said, “Sister Mo, why don’t I go with you…”
Before she could finish, Mo Zhu interrupted her bluntly, “No, Xiao Yu, be good. Keeping a good eye on this girl is helping me a lot.”
When Jiang Yu heard this, she did not refuse. She obediently got off the car and stood by the road. She watched as Mo Zhu closed the car door without any hesitation in front of her.
Kang Wan’s unhappy grumbling came from beside her. “What right does that girl have to get out of the car just because she wants me to? She even arranged for someone to watch over me. Who does she think she is to dare to control me?”
After saying this, Kang Wan felt a cold gaze land on her. She looked up at Jiang Yu’s murderous gaze not far away and suddenly shivered. She lowered her head and did not dare to say another word. Under Mo Zhu’s instructions, Mo Qi had no choice but to bring her to see Huo Xuan.
The car sped along the road. A few minutes later, another call came from Mo Qi’s phone. The situation was urgent now, and he picked up the call without even looking.
Mo Qi listened quietly for more than ten seconds after the other party said something. He said in a low voice, “Young Master has already made the arrangements. Our people have searched a few suspicious places now. Cloud City’s police station has also sent police officers as reinforcements. Investigate again. We will definitely be able to find out Young Master Xu’s whereabouts soon.” Mo Zhu listened quietly as Mo Qi spoke to the person on the other end of the phone. After the man finished talking and hung up, she raised her hand and patted the back of the driver’s seat. She asked coldly, “Xu Huan is missing?”
Mo Zhu’s sudden words frightened Mo Qi so much that he trembled for no reason and almost grabbed the steering wheel in his hand. The girl’s aura was too strong. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and replied with forced calm, “Ms. Mo, Young Master Xu disappeared this morning.”
After saying this, he didn’t reveal any more information about this matter. Before he was sent to pick them up, Young Master hadn’t told him whether he should inform Mo Zhu of this matter. Now that he had already rushed to see him with Mo Zhu behind Huo Xuan’s back, he really didn’t dare to say another word.
When Mo Zhu heard this, she calmed down and pondered for a moment. She seemed to have thought of something and continued instructing coldly, “Tell me about this in detail. Tell me everything in detail!” Once she said this, Mo Qi was even more at a loss for what to do. He hadn’t served Mo Zhu much and he didn’t understand the young lady’s temper and personality. In the current situation, he really didn’t know if he should reveal this fact.
Seeing that Mo Qi did not respond, Mo Zhu could not suppress her frustration any longer. She raised her hand and knocked on the back of the chair in the front row unhappily again. She emphasized impatiently, “Don’t make me repeat myself a second time!” Under Mo Zhu’s pressuring, Mo Qi could not take it anymore. He looked at the girl in the back seat through the rearview mirror uneasily and explained nervously, “Young Master has been unable to contact Young Master Xu since this morning. He hadn’t picked up calls or reply to messages. Young Master Xu has always been living alone in Cloud City. The surveillance camera showed that he opened the door for a stranger in the morning and was taken away.”
Mo Zhu thought about the man’s words and her fingers knocked lightly on the armrest beside the car seat. “He was taken away by a stranger? Did the surveillance camera capture the person’s face?”
Mo Qi replied softly, “It didn’t manage to capture it. Ms. Mo, this is not an ordinary case. I can’t explain it clearly for a while. Why don’t you ask Young Master to tell you when he sees you later?”
Chapter 315 A Mysterious Figure
Mo Qi was a crude person. All along, he had always done things for Huo Xuan with few words and more action. The fact that Young Master Xu had gone missing today was too bizarre. There were some parts that he couldn’t understand either. At this moment, he should try his best to say as little as possible to avoid misleading Mo Zhu.
Mo Zhu nodded and looked out the window. “Alright, drive seriously.”
Seeing that Mo Zhu did not probe any further, Mo Qi heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, he focused his energy on driving and started driving seriously.
Not long later, the car steadily stopped at the entrance of Cloud City’s Public Security Bureau’s headquarters. After the two of them stopped the car, Mo Qi brought Mo Zhu straight to the office of the Public Security Bureau’s surveillance department.
People came and went in the monitoring room. At this moment, because of Xu Huan, everyone was busy. Huo Xuan paced back and forth in the crowd, looking like he hadn’t gotten any useful clues.
Seeing Mo Qi push the door open with Mo Zhu and walk in, Huo Xuan took two steps forward and looked at the girl worriedly. He raised his hand and touched the center of Mo Zhu’s hair. He said softly, “Didn’t I ask you to wait for me at home? Why are you here? I know you’re worried about Xu Huan, but this matter is a little tricky. The opponent isn’t easy to deal with.”
After saying this, before Huo Xuan could instruct Mo Qi to send Mo Zhu home, a middle-aged man’s deep voice suddenly came from behind. “Ms. Mo, why are you here?”
The person who came was Qian Jiang, the person-in-charge of Cloud City’s Public Security Department. The person who had called Mo Zhu and invited her to meet him was also him.
Upon hearing that someone else knew Mo Zhu, Mo Qi looked at the girl in shock and asked in surprise, “Young Master, Director Qian and Ms. Mo are?”
Huo Xuan lowered his eyes and rubbed his palms slightly. Not to mention them being shocked, even he did not know that Mo Zhu was still in contact with the people from the Public Security Bureau. He raised his head and gave Mo Qi a cold glance. He frowned and said, “I don’t know.”
Mo Zhu nodded lightly in response to Qian Jiang’s greeting. Then, she grabbed Huo Xuan and casually found a computer with a lit screen before sitting down on the seat in front of him.
She raised her hand and skillfully pulled up the surveillance video of the streets of Cloud City. As she operated the video, Mo Zhu asked Huo Xuan, “When did Xu Huan disappear? Has there been any progress in the investigation?”
Because the person who had disappeared was Xu Huan, Mo Zhu was very concerned about this matter. Ever since she came to the Huo family and met Huo Xuan and Xu Huan, Xu Huan had always taken very good care of her. No matter what requests she had in the past, Xu Huan had never rejected anything that he could do.
She didn’t have any other strengths, but she had always been biased towards her own people. Through the time they had spent together, she had long included the Huo family, who truly cared about her, Xu Huan, and the other friends who would always stand by her side and believe in her, as people important to her.
She did not care who the other party was or what his motive was. Since he dared to touch Xu Huan, she would definitely make him pay a hundred or a thousand times!
Seeing how Mo Zhu was checking the surveillance video so seriously, Huo Xuan raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows. He said seriously, “In the past few days, starting from Beijing, there have been constant disappearances of descendants of influential families. I don’t know what schemes the people who kidnapped them have. The next day, they will take out their hearts and send their corpses back to their families.”
“During this period, the other party didn’t send any information about asking for money or items from the family. From this, it can be seen that their motive isn’t that simple. I suspect that there might be some unknown hidden secrets.”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she frowned and looked at Huo Xuan. She asked in a worried tone, “So, if we can’t find Xu Huan tonight, he will be sent back to the Xu family by someone tomorrow morning?”
Huo Xuan nodded and replied with a grave expression, “That’s right. We have to hurry up.”
Upon hearing Huo Xuan’s words, Mo Zhu retracted her gaze and kept typing on the computer. She continued to ask in a low voice, “Did you find any other useful clues?”
