Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1105: 1104 Impossible to Divorce

“Ranran, your wound hasn’t healed, don’t move.” Mo Xiuchen sternly stopped her.

Wen Ran naturally didn’t have his strength and, being held down by him, she could not move; the wound on her abdomen pulled painfully, causing her to frown deeply.

She grabbed her phone and redialed the call from just now; today’s call, unlike yesterday’s, had no number displayed.

However, even if there was a number, it would have been useless.

The chilling automated message drilled into her ear, “The number you have dialed is not in service.”

Mo Xiuchen watched the changes in Wen Ran’s expression, feeling an indescribable pain inside, “Ranran.”

He called out to her but didn’t know what to say.

This feeling was truly awful.

In the thirty years of Mo Xiuchen’s life, he had faced too many setbacks. From watching his own mother jump off a building when he was eight, later dealing with his father’s remarriage and his stepmother’s various schemes and abuses, to being kidnapped at eleven—if it weren’t for meeting Ranran, he might have died.

In the years that followed, he faced all hardships with a calm mind, no longer as heartbroken as before. His goal was clear—to make himself strong, avenge his mother, and find the little girl who had saved him years ago.

Years later, he felt that same panicking fear when he found out that Wen Ran had been kidnapped in F City and had jumped off a cliff. At that moment, he vividly felt his heart being clutched by an invisible hand, the panic of being unable to breathe.

Later, when Wen Ran learned she was ill and asked him for a divorce, he experienced what real pain was…

Last year, he returned from D Country and finally reunited with Ranran. This past year, he had worked hard to make her happy, striving to extend this happiness into their old age.

But a few days ago, when he received the call that Ranran was in surgery, he panicked again.

In the business world, he could calmly handle business worth tens or even hundreds of billions and maintain smooth relations with clients and government departments. However, whenever it involved Wen Ran, he couldn’t stay calm.

Looking at the woman before him, pale and full of sorrow, Mo Xiuchen felt utmost remorse. If time could be reversed, he would be more careful, just a little bit more careful.

Then there wouldn’t have been an opportunity for others to take advantage.

In fact, the hospital’s surveillance was very comprehensive, especially in the nursery. Yet coincidentally, Momo was stolen right from their own hospital.

At that time, Gu Yan was in the meeting room, Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen were in the hospital room, and the security room’s monitors were unattended for one minute…

Silence silently spread between the two.

The air inside the room quickly became thin, making it difficult to breathe. Mo Xiuchen looked at Wen Ran so close to him and suddenly felt she was very far away from him.

He felt panicked inside but didn’t dare show it, struggling to suppress his own fear.

He softly called her name, “Ranran, let me see your phone.”

Wen Ran didn’t speak and let him take the phone from her hands. She turned her gaze to the baby’s crib beside her, where Ziyi was sleeping soundly, looking very adorable.

Momo also slept in the same position. A few times, she had stepped outside the nursery and saw them sleeping in the same position; she even took pictures and smiled at Mo Xiuchen saying, “Xiuchen, look, Ziyi and Momo even maintain the same sleeping pose.”

Thinking of it now, the pain was bone-deep.

“Ranran, I need to step out for a moment, you stay with Ziyi.”

Mo Xiuchen glanced at the phone number, said a word to Wen Ran, then stood up and quickly left the hospital room.

Qing Feng and the special nursing assistant saw him come out, both showing concern but remained silent.

Mo Xiuchen glanced at them indifferently, turned around, and walked into the adjacent room to dial Lu Zhiyan’s number.

“Hello, Mo General.”

The phone rang twice, and then Lu Zhiyan’s voice came through, and Mo Xiuchen calmly asked, “Any new progress?”

“Nothing yet. I suspect they’ve stopped somewhere with Momo. None of the bus stations or airports in those cities have spotted Momo.”

“Momo is so young; it’s easy for them to take him away,” Mo Xiuchen said, his voice going cold after a moment’s silence.

“We can’t rule out that possibility. We traced Momo leaving G City because the culprits didn’t hide her; possibly, they deliberately left the trail. That’s why the lead ended as soon as she left G City.”

“Just now, they called Ranran again,” added Mo Xiuchen.

“Didn’t they say they would call at the time yesterday?” Lu Zhiyan was somewhat surprised; he thought that the culprits would call at that time or perhaps even later.

After all, the more anxious Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen were, the more likely they were to meet their demands.

“Just now, they asked Ranran and me to divorce; the displayed number was fake. I suspect the mastermind behind taking Momo is a woman…” Mo Xiuchen shared his suspicions with Lu Zhiyan.

“The Cheng Jia you mentioned, I checked the records. A few months ago, among the victims of the mudslide disaster in City C, although her ID was found, her body or person was never found by the end. This indicates she’s still alive,” Lu Zhiyan’s voice conveyed through the waves, “Young Master Mo, shall we continue to look for Momo now? Did Ranran agree to their demands? Did they give a deadline?”

He asked several questions at once, catching Mo Xiuchen off guard.

This was his current dilemma.

“Ranran wants to divorce me.” After a long silence, he finally emitted a heavy sigh.

Lu Zhiyan seemed not surprised by such an outcome, guessing from the conditions Mo Xiuchen told him that Ranran would agree.

As a mother, any woman would agree.

Not just to trade divorce for her child’s safety, but even her own life, no mother would hesitate.

“So, what do you think?”

Lu Zhiyan, as the officer responsible for this case, was duty-bound to understand all the circumstances, including the decisions of Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran.

“Of course I disagree. They will definitely call Ranran again. We must find out where they’ve taken Momo in the shortest time possible,” Mo Xiuchen’s voice was cold. He wouldn’t agree to divorce Wen Ran under any circumstance.

After the divorce, who knows what other demands they would make; he couldn’t let Ranran out of his sight. This was Mo Xiuchen’s obsession.

“Okay, I’m narrowing down the search. The Cheng Jia you just mentioned, can you confirm it’s her?” Lu Zhiyan thought for a moment and then asked.

“Considering the conditions they’ve set, it’s most likely Cheng Jia.” Recalling Mo Jingteng’s words on his deathbed, Mo Xiuchen’s grip on his phone suddenly tightened.

“I’ll call you immediately with any news. If they call again, ask Ranran to delay them for a few minutes, so we can pinpoint their exact location.”
