Chapter 430: 429 Makes it happen

Before Mo Zixuan could dial Xiao Wenqing’s number, Mo Xiuchen had already signed his name on the agreement.

As long as he casually chatted with Xiao Wenqing and confirmed their location, the rest would no longer be his concern.

The moment Mo Xiuchen signed his name, he was overwhelmed with excitement, eagerly anticipating taking the CEO seat. This grandiose office would be his, the entire corporation, even Mo Xiuchen, would fall under his command…

Opposite the sofa, Mo Xiuchen, with his handsome brows exuding a chill, and his deep, dark eyes, watched Mo Zixuan in silence, his thin lips set in a firm line revealing nothing.

Gu Kai scrutinized Mo Zixuan, his brows furrowed, “Mo Zixuan, you wouldn’t have tipped off Xiao Wenqing beforehand? Having Xiuchen sign the agreement and then failing to reach her on the phone?”

“You better not falsely accuse people. I made a promise to him, I would never tip off my mother.”

Mo Zixuan’s face darkened as he glared at Gu Kai resentfully.

“When was the last time you were in contact with Xiao Wenqing?”

Mo Xiuchen asked in a quiet voice, his eyes as dark as the ink.

Mo Zixuan told the truth and incredulously said, “I tried calling again. If it doesn’t work, I’ll try again tonight. In any case, I keep my word. If I said I would help you find her and Wu Tianyi, then I will.”

He dialed the number again, but the phone was still switched off.

Lu Zhiyan said coldly, “There’s no need to call anymore. Xiao Wenqing may have become suspicious of you. If she contacts you, inform us immediately.”

The phone had been switched off all along; there was no point in calling.

“This contract will stay with me for now. When you find Xiao Wenqing, I’ll recommend you to the board to take over as CEO.”

Mo Xiuchen concealed his emotions, his face revealing nothing. His indifferent voice carried a slight chill of winter.

Even though he had signed, it didn’t guarantee that Mo Zixuan would inherit his wishes without finding Xiao Wenqing. Mo Zixuan’s face paled, whether out of resentment or embarrassment was unclear. He gripped his phone tightly, his voice somewhat frosty: “What about the press conference?”

“Let’s consider it a gesture of goodwill.”

Mo Xiuchen said indifferently. Getting Mo Zixuan to assist them was not an easy task. He did not want to cross him at this point.

“Wenqing, you still think of Mo Zixuan as your son now. However, he may be plotting to betray you for wealth and power.”

Wu Tianyi was exceedingly irritated.

If they hadn’t received a call from Tong Shishi at noon, claiming that Mo Zixuan knew about Wen Ran’s identity and warned her not to tell anyone, they would have been deceived by Mo Zixuan.

Xiao Wenqing’s face grew unpleasant. A trace of loss flickered in her eyes. “Zixuan wouldn’t really betray me. He’s just temporarily bewitched by Mo Xiuchen and Mo Jingteng.”

“If you think so, there’s nothing I can do, but you can’t contact him anymore. I’ve already gotten rid of that number. Right now, I need to think of a way to reveal Wen Ran’s identity and give Mo Xiuchen a surprise.”

The menacing tone and sinister stare of Wu Tianyi portrayed the darkness and sick obsession within him.

“Is Tong Shishi’s information reliable?”

“Of course it’s reliable. I pay her to do jobs for me. Besides, she despises Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran. Why would she object to my seeking revenge for her?”

Although Wu Tianyi had Tong Shishi test Mo Zixuan, in actuality, he had someone shadowing Tong Shishi the whole time.

Even though the person following Tong Shishi couldn’t hear what she was saying to Mo Zixuan, she had indeed met with Mo Zixuan. She looked panicked as she got out of his car, hand clutching her neck, the scene was exactly as she had described.

As if a thought occurred to him, Wu Tianyi started chuckling. “I need to call Professor Fu first. I must tell him that Wen Ran is Gu Yan’s daughter. He will be delighted to hear this news.”

“Tianyi, if Professor Fu plans to use Wen Ran for his experiment, wouldn’t all our previous plans have been in vain?”

Xiao Wenqing was somewhat unresigned. She despised Wen Ran to the bone and wished to use the cruelest methods against her in order for her hatred to be appeased.

“That won’t be a problem. Professor Fu just plans on using her for his experiment, not marrying her. Once we capture Wen Ran, you can torture her to your heart’s content. Just make sure to leave her with a breath.”

Hearing this, a cruel and cold smile emerged on Xiao Wenqing’s face.

“Hmm, I’ll definitely make Wen Ran wish she was dead. By then, I will record everything and mail each of them a disc, to Mo Xiuchen, Wen Jin and the rest of them. Let them watch Wen Ran being violated by those men. I’m sure they’ll find it quite stimulating.”

As Xiao Wenqing imagined the scene, she suddenly said, “Tianyi, when we get our hands on Wen Ran, let her accompany you for a night.”

Wu Tianyi looked at Xiao Wenqing with a peculiar expression: “How could you have such an idea?”

“What’s so peculiar about my idea? Wen Ran is young and beautiful, with a great figure. Even Mo Xiuchen fell head over heels for her. Since we’re capturing her, of course, I will let you taste her first.”

As she said this, Wu Tianyi’s eyes flickered, and a hint of hesitation showed in his heart.

Although the woman he truly loved was Xiao Wenqing, no man could resist a young and beautiful woman like Wen Ran, whose face and figure are the types that men desire…

“Don’t hesitate. I won’t be jealous as long as you love me.”

Xiao Wenqing saw a glint of desire in Wu Tianyi’s eyes. She knew he was tempted – no man wouldn’t be, especially when presented with a young and attractive woman like Wen Ran.

Wu Tianyi drew her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her face. “Alright, I’ll go along with it for you. However, even if something happens between her and me, it’s just for humiliating Mo Xiuchen, I won’t develop feelings for her.”

Xiao Wenqing allowed herself to be drawn down onto the sofa, her voice turning coquettish and soft: “Hmm… I understand.”

“Let’s celebrate the good news that Wen Ran is Gu Yan’s daughter…” Wu Tianyi finished and reached for Xiao Wenqing’s clothes.

Mo Xiuchen knocked off work early to pick up Wen Ran from the Bai family’s place.

Mo Zixuan wasn’t able to reach Xiao Wenqing in the afternoon. Just now, before he left, he went to his office and tried calling again; still the phone was switched off.

His heart suddenly filled with unease.

Xiao Wenqing’s sudden disappearance indicated her distrust towards Mo Zixuan. In this case, she might use other methods to probe into Wen Ran’s origins.

He was mulling over the issue as he drove, and the more he thought, the more gloomy he felt.

Where could Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi hide? Both the police and Uncle Ming’s men had been searching for a long time without a trace. They must be hiding somewhere, planning how to deal with him.

Lost in thought, he accidentally ran a red light. By the time he realized it, it was too late. Frowning, he steadied himself, pressed down on the accelerator, and focused on the traffic ahead.
