Mo Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed aggressively, his frosty aura bore down on Mo Zixuan. “What’s the matter, are you surprised that I know? This morning, the old man slapped you twice, yet you obediently went with him to do a paternity test, without admitting anything. It was you who let Xiao Wenqing escape last night.”

Mo Zixuan turned as pale as a sheet, his hands holding the box trembling uncontrollably. “I didn’t, Mo Xiuchen, you are making accusations out of thin air. My mother was released by a servant, not by me.”

Mo Xiuchen scoffed, stalking towards him step by step.

Mo Zixuan backed up against the floor-to-ceiling window, clutching the box tightly.

“Whether you admit it or not, it does not change the fact that Xiao Wenqing ran away. She is sure to contact you, now she must hate the old man to death. What I can’t understand is why you did not object to the stocks being taken away, and did not express any resentment even when ousted from the company.”

Mo Xiuchen was slightly taller than Mo Zixuan, his imposing presence and cold, arrogant demeanor making him tower over Mo Zixuan, looking down at him like a king. “The only explanation is that you are seeking Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi.”

“I will not look for her.”

Mo Zixuan vehemently denied, his eyes bloodshot as he stared back at Mo Xiuchen. He was trying his best to control his own nervousness, trying not to fear him.

He told himself that there was nothing to fear about Mo Xiuchen. He was just a bit more shrewd and ruthless. He couldn’t harm him.

He straightened his back and said firmly, “Yes, I let my mother go, Mo Xiuchen. If it were you, wouldn’t you watch your own mother be tortured to death?”

The fierceness in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes, turned bloodthirsty at his words.

Mo Zixuan shivered, this was a version of Mo Xiuchen straight from Hell, exuding a bone-chilling cold.

“Don’t compare your mother with mine.”

He articulated each word with icy ruthlessness.

Mo Zixuan felt as if he went against his words, he would be strangled by him.

“Fine, I won’t talk about it, so what? Regardless of how sinister she is in your eyes or how lascivious she is in my father’s eyes, she is my birth mother. Even if only to repay her for giving me life, I can’t just stand by and watch her die.”

“Are you aware of the consequences of letting her go?”

A cold, disdainful smile appeared on Mo Xiuchen’s face as he looked down at Mo Zixuan.

“Of course, I do. Isn’t it just being kicked out of the house by the old man and losing everything? I don’t care about any of this, Mo Xiuchen. I know you want to get a lead on my mother from me, but unfortunately, I simply don’t know. However, I can give you some advice, keep a close eye on Wen Ran!”

Mo Xiuchen’s eyes darkened at Mo Zixuan’s indifferent explanation, “A while ago, my mother told me that she plans to kidnap Wen Ran to seek revenge on you. You cunningly prompted me to explore my own past, to make me realize that I was once in love with Wen Ran. Weren’t you just hoping that I could prevent my mother from hurting Wen Ran?”

Mo Xiuchen’s lips tightened, his gaze deep and bottomless.

“So what if I knew I once loved Wen Ran? I don’t feel that way anymore, and I don’t have the power to stop my mother from doing anything. Therefore, you should protect your beloved woman. As for me, a man who holds no value for you two, I’m not worth your attention.”

After speaking, Mo Zixuan picked up his box and walked past Mo Xiuchen towards the exit.

A storm brewed in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes, his voice cold as he said just as Mo Zixuan was about to leave, “Even if you are of no use, you are still surnamed Mo, Mo Zixuan, if you want to stay, it’s not too late.”

Mo Zixuan let out a cold scoff, decisively exited with the box.

“So, even when you personally asked him to stay, he still chose to leave?”

When Mo Xiuchen returned to his office, Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu were waiting there. Seeing his solemn face, they guessed the outcome.

“Yes, he admitted it. It was him who let Xiao Wenqing escape. He also said that he doesn’t know where Xiao Wenqing is, and told me to watch out for Wen Ran. Xiao Wenqing had thoughts of harming Wen Ran a while ago.”

The tone of Mo Xiuchen’s voice was filled with an undercurrent of chill, like he just walked out from an ice cellar.

“You already knew that, didn’t you? Just because Mo Zixuan said it, you don’t have to get angry or tense. Xiuchen, I’ve noticed that whenever something involves Wen Ran, you lose your cool and rationality, and this is not good.”

Luo Haofeng frowned, staring scrutinizingly at his friend, expressing his opinion.

Qin Mu remained silent. There was a hint of hidden emotion in his eyes. His lips were pressed into a thin, firm line.

Mo Xiuchen shot a glance at Luo Haofeng, took a seat next to Qin Mu, and picked up the water cup on the coffee table. He gulped down the water and said, “If it were just Xiao Wenqing hiding, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. The key is, she is with Wu Tianyi.”

He knew that the past incidents were largely due to Wu Tianyi’s ideas.

Xiao Wenqing alone, a woman, couldn’t possibly handle everything flawlessly.

“Why don’t you find Wen Ran? Ah Feng and I will hold the fort here.”

After a long silence, Qin Mu uttered a sentence calmly.

Luo Haofeng squinted his eyes, turned his head to look at Qin Mu, disagreeing with his suggestion. “It would be fine if it were normal times, but now it is probably not feasible. Those old codgers were already dissatisfied at the meeting and are waiting to catch Xiuchen’s mistakes.”

The MS Group was huge, and it was impossible for everyone to be united, especially those old purists. They all thought they were right. A while ago, Mo Xiuchen switched three clients in one go, this decision affected a lot of people’s interests.

They were waiting to catch Mo Xiuchen’s mistakes. His early leave at this time wasn’t a good suggestion.

Qin Mu’s face darkened slightly. He seemed to realize that his previous suggestion wasn’t a good one. He picked up a cigarette from the coffee table, lit it, and drew a heavy puff, blowing out a smoke ring, “Uncle Ming’s influence is still extensive, finding Xiao Wenqing shouldn’t take long.”

“Yeah, I believe in that, Xiuchen. Don’t stress too much. Xiao Wenqing had her face destroyed by your old man and is now hiding somewhere to heal her injuries. She’s definitely scared that your father will find her, she wouldn’t dare to harm anyone.”

Luo Haofeng saw that Qin Mu was smoking alone, frowned with dissatisfaction, also picked up a cigarette, took out two, threw one to Mo Xiuchen, with the other one in his mouth, and reached for a lighter.

Mo Xiuchen took the cigarette and placed it on the coffee table, shaking his head at Luo Haofeng who was trying to light it for him, “I don’t smoke.”

“Then I’ll smoke it myself.”

Luo Haofeng shrugged his shoulders. It was better to smoke one by himself than to inhale the second-hand smoke from Qin Mu.
