In the president's office of Mo Ying Group.
In front of the huge French windows, Mo Beichen stood with his hands behind his back. Dressed in a black overcoat, he was as cold and profound as the night. The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window shone through the glass onto his silhouette, revealing the obscure and treacherous glint in his eyes.
"Mr. Mo, our people have found that Golden Retriever has recently appeared near the Xia family's residence. It's very likely that Gu Yuwei's younger brother is hidden there," Xu Wei reported succinctly with his body hunched and his chin tucked. After a brief pause, he continued, "Moreover, Gu Yuwei hasn't been to school for two consecutive days. The young mistress may go to her place to look for her today."
Mo Beichen, who had been standing there indifferently, finally lowered his head slightly. The delicate wristwatch on his raised wrist showed that it was 5 p.m., just the time when school was about to end.
"Mr. Mo?" Xu Wei didn't hear any instructions and couldn't help opening his mouth again. In the end, he just stood still beside him.
Somehow, Xu Wei suddenly felt that the air around him had turned cold.
"Traces found near the Xia family's residence?" Mo Beichen murmured this sentence, his whole body exuding a coldness like a cold night.
"Yes," Xu Wei couldn't help shivering. A cold sweat broke out from his feet to the top of his head.
"Find someone to keep an eye on Xia Ruolin's movements. I believe we'll get results soon," Mo Beichen turned around and strode towards the door.
"Mr. Mo?" Xu Wei immediately followed.
Mo Beichen walked down to the stairwell and then said calmly, "Go and check out Gu Yuwei's home."
Xu Wei looked at Mo Beichen in surprise.
There were already Mr. Mo's people stationed at Gu Yuwei's door. When did Mr. Mo need to go and check on such an insignificant person in person?
In the elevator, Xu Wei, who had been deep in thought, seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly looked up at Mo Beichen's cold and imposing side face. His heart skipped a beat. Then he lowered his head knowingly and pursed his lips to hide his discovery.
Was Mr. Mo missing the young mistress?
...
On the other side of the road, Xia Weilan and Ruili were also in the car on their way to Gu Yuwei's home.
"Sister-in-law, what are you going to say to Gu Yuwei when you see her? Beat her up?" Ruili chatted while driving.
"I don't know either, but I know that Gu Yuwei has always been kind-hearted. Maybe I'll have a calm chat with her," Xia Weilan's eyes flashed a hint of hesitation.
Gu Yuwei, who was kind-hearted, was sitting on the sofa in her own home at the moment. Instead of her usual calmness like an iris, she was wringing her little hands tightly, her face full of uneasiness.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Gu Yuwei suddenly stood up and quickly ran to open the door.
When she saw the figure standing outside the door, Gu Yuwei frowned angrily, but then relaxed them again. She looked at the visitor with a pale face.
Xia Ruolin walked in generously, looked around, and sneered disdainfully.
"Miss Xia, you promised last time that you would release my younger brother," Gu Yuwei followed behind her, her throat tense, obviously trying hard to hold back her emotions.
"Yes, I said I would release him, but it will be a few more days. After all, Xia Weilan still escaped last time," Xia Ruolin sat down on the sofa and calmly stroked her beautiful fingernails.
"Miss Xia, please have mercy on me. I have no feud with you. Why do you have to..." Gu Yuwei stood in front of her, the bloodshot in her eyes covered with mist.
"Being friends with Xia Weilan makes you my enemy," Xia Ruolin suddenly gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence. Her phoenix eyes suddenly sharpened, exuding a faint chill.
Gu Yuwei paused for a moment, a hint of hatred flashing in the bottom of her eyes.
"Blame yourself for knowing Xia Weilan. I'm here today to ask you to do another thing. After you've done it, your younger brother will naturally come back safely," Xia Ruolin stared at her slightly trembling hands.
"Are you nervous? Scared? It's useless. A little rabbit like you is born to be ruled by the strong," Xia Ruolin sneered coldly, the disdain in her eyes even deeper.
"What do you want me to do?" Gu Yuwei lowered her eyelids to cover the emotions in her eyes, her voice soft.
"Tomorrow is the safety education activity in your school. Xia Weilan will be invited to the stage then. I want you to find a way to make her make a fool of herself in front of the whole school. This humiliation will be a lifelong shame for her."
"Will you really release my younger brother?" Gu Yuwei's fingers twitched imperceptibly.
"Of course. It's useless for me to keep your younger brother any longer," Xia Ruolin suddenly stood up impatiently, patted the non-existent dust on her body, and looked down at her arrogantly:
"So, what do you say?"
At the same time, Mo Beichen was sitting in a low-key car, watching the situation on the surveillance video. In the picture, Xia Weilan and Ruili stood at Gu Yuwei's door for a while, then suddenly turned around and walked out, their expressions extremely gloomy.
"Mr. Mo, what's wrong with the young mistress? Did she hear something unpleasant from Xia Ruolin?" Xu Wei looked at the picture anxiously.
It was a pity that they only had surveillance outside the house and didn't know what was going on inside.
"Send someone to continue following Xia Ruolin later," Mo Beichen suddenly stood up and walked out of the car.
Outside was a quiet alley, and the road in front of Gu Yuwei's house was too narrow for vehicles to drive in.
Mo Beichen walked directly in the direction of Xia Weilan. Sure enough, he saw Ruili and Xia Weilan talking in a corner after a while.
Ruili, who was trying to persuade Xia Weilan, keenly noticed Mo Beichen and stopped talking:
"Brother Mo, why are you here too?"
Hearing this, Xia Weilan turned around and saw Mo Beichen striding towards her like a wild beast emerging from the abyss.
"Hub...," Xia Weilan's originally dull eyes suddenly lit up, but she pouted coyly and held back the impulse to step forward.
"Have you been playing too wild outside? Hmm?" Mo Beichen's deep and sexy voice was like a gust of wind.
Xia Weilan's eyelashes fluttered slightly. By now, Mo Beichen had already reached her side.
Ruili had left discreetly at some point. Now, there were only the two of them in this narrow alley.
"Were you following me?" Xia Weilan glared at him angrily. She looked like a kitten with all its fur standing on end, ready to pounce.
Mo Beichen's eyes flickered. He actually thought she was a bit cute. So he reached out and ruffled her hair:
"Are you done throwing a tantrum?"
"Humph," Xia Weilan snorted with her nose in the air and turned her head away: "Why are you here? Why aren't you at the bar picking up girls?"
"Get in the car with me first," Mo Beichen grabbed her hand and walked out.
Xia Weilan subconsciously struggled a few times, then got in the car. She was still unhappy even after getting in.
Mo Beichen suddenly stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out.
"Where are you taking me?" Xia Weilan looked out of the window. It wasn't the way back to the Splendid Royal Court.
