Chapter 528: 527 I agreed

“Ah Mu, what do you mean by ‘double happiness’?”

Luo Haofeng’s narrow, romantic eyes were flashing with curiosity as he turned to look at Qin Mu, who was sitting next to him, a lazy grin on his face. He spoke half a sentence, intentionally leaving the rest unsaid to pique their interest.

From behind his desk, Mo Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed with a hint of sharpness as he swept his gaze over Luo Haofeng and landed on Qin Mu’s handsome face, casually asking, “Ah Mu, are you in love?”

He purposefully asked this question. Ranran had returned to his side, a joyous event for him, yet Qin Mu was talking about ‘double happiness’, seemingly attempting to get him to reveal how he had managed to persuade Ranran to change her decision.

So, he interpreted it as Qin Mu also being in love!

At the words, Qin Mu’s handsome face changed slightly. He shot Mo Xiuchen an irritated look and said nonchalantly, “Uncle Ming’s people have found Wu Tianyi’s hiding place. Isn’t that a happy event? That’s got to be more exciting than my love life, right?”

“Really, when?”

Mo Xiuchen abruptly stood up, his gaze burning as he stared at Qin Mu. If this was true, it would indeed be excellent news—so much so that there might be no need to wait for Mo Zixuan to persuade their mother.

“On my way here, Uncle Ming called to say his people had found Wu Tianyi hiding in City C. I notified the local police. If everything goes smoothly, we should have good news soon.”

“City C, why didn’t you say so sooner?”

Mo Xiuchen’s tall figure emerged from behind the desk, expressing his discontent.

Luo Haofeng could only gape in surprise at them, unable to get a word in edgewise.

“I didn’t get a chance to tell you sooner. You were already celebrating, I figured you knew.”

Qin Mu spoke calmly. After finishing his sentence, he also slowly stood up, “If you’re interested, we can go over now. I’ve instructed them not to disturb Wu Tianyi just yet. They are keeping an eye on him for now and will only move once we arrive.”

“Of course, we’re going.”

A touch of ruthlessness flashed in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes. With Xiao Wenqing already caught, only Wu Tianyi and Fu Jingyi remained. Thinking of how Wu Tianyi likely knew of Fu Jingyi’s whereabouts, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

Just as he finished speaking, his cell phone began to vibrate in his pocket, accompanied by the melodious ringtone. He paused mid-step, two paces away from the sofa, took out his phone and checked the caller ID. His eyes sharpened, and he pressed the answer button: “Hello!”

“Young Master Mo, we’ve found Wu Tianyi’s location…”

A low, respectful voice resounded from the other end of the line. Mo Xiuchen glanced at Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu, a faint smile playing on his lips, and asked without betraying any emotion, “Where?”

“The suburbs of City C.”

It was the same information that Uncle Ming’s people had discovered, albeit a tad later.

“Young Master Mo, what should we do next? Do we report to the police, or do we go to Wu Tianyi directly?” asked the man on the other end. Mo Xiuchen replied calmly: “The police are already aware. You should stay put and make sure Wu Tianyi doesn’t escape. Wait for my call.”

After ending the call, Mo Xiuchen explained to Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng, “That call was about Wu Tianyi’s location. It’s the same as what Uncle Ming’s people said, located in City C.”

“Xiuchen, you stay here. Let Ah Mu and me handle this. Wu Tianyi has kept himself hidden well recently, and it’s suspicious that he’s now suddenly made himself visible. He might be plotting something. It’s better for you to keep an eye on Ranran.”

After pondering for a moment, Luo Haofeng proposed his suggestion.

With Wu Tianyi and Fu Jingyi still lurking in the shadows and harboring a deep hatred for Mo Xiuchen and the Gu Family, and given that they have even called Ranran before, Luo was out of necessity cautious, rather than overly nervous.

After thinking it over, Mo Xiuchen agreed with his proposal, “Alright, both of you, be careful. I will stay here. Today, Zixuan is taking our father to see Xiao Wenqing. I’ll stay at the company.”

“Okay!”

Qin Mu nodded, exchanged a glance with Luo Haofeng, then advised Mo Xiuchen before the two of them left the office together. They took the elevator downstairs, left the company straightaway and drove to the airport.

The office was suddenly quiet.

Mo Xiuchen stood still for a moment before slowly turning around to head back to his desk and making a phone call.

Suburban villa

As soon as Bai Xiaoxiao alighted from the car, she complained to Wen Ran, “Ranran, you’re too much! You returned home without telling me and forced me to go to the Wen Family to look for you. Auntie Li told me that you had already come back last night.”

Wen Ran listened to Bai Xiaoxiao’s grievances with a smile on her face, helping her onto her wheelchair and pushing her towards the living room. Bai Xiaoxiao’s leg was already able to take a few steps, but she still needed to rest after a short while.

After listening to Bai Xiaoxiao’s complaints, Wen Ran said, “You didn’t ask either, didn’t I just not get a chance to tell you?”

Bai Xiaoxiao lifted her head to scrutinize Ranran, seemingly trying to see through her heart, “Ranran, are you and Mo Xiuchen… back together?”

Just a few days ago, Wen Ran had rejected Mo Xiuchen so ruthlessly that she wouldn’t even allow him to appear in front of her. Bai Xiaoxiao had thought that Wen Ran would truly divorce Mo Xiuchen.

But now, Wen Ran unexpectedly returned home last night and even stayed overnight. So did this mean that she and Mo Xiuchen had made up and that Wen Ran was no longer insisting on a divorce?

Upon hearing this, Wen Ran’s smile faltered slightly. Biting her lip, she said, “I’m not sure if we’re back together. He asked me to reconsider the divorce… and I agreed.” Her voice slowed as she spoke of her promise, a hint of melancholy seeping into her eyes and a flicker of struggle flashing deep within.

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled happily, “That’s great! A man as outstanding as Mo Xiuchen is hard to find. Why are you so set on pushing him away? You watched the video too. The minute you left, that vixen Cheng Jia was all over him. Even when her legs got burnt, she didn’t back off. From what I can see, she’s itching to get into Mo Xiuchen’s bed. Don’t be a fool. If Mo Xiuchen’s ever tainted by that vixen, it would be too late to cry…”

Wen Ran blinked in bewilderment. She focused on Bai Xiaoxiao’s expressive face as she picked out the important part from her words. “How did you know that she’s not giving up?”

Bai Xiaoxiao arched her brows, adopting an ‘of course I know’ expression: “I’m concerned about you, so I naturally know. While you’re not interested in Mo Xiuchen, other women are extremely interested in him. Now that you’re back, no matter what tricks that vixen tries, she won’t be able to charm Mo Xiuchen.”

“I haven’t made up my mind yet.”

Uncertainty clouded Wen Ran’s eyes. Not knowing whether her decision to stay was right or wrong, she considered if Mo Xiuchen’s astuteness would eventually lead him to the truth. Her rational mind told her to leave G City and find a place where he could not find her before he discovered the truth.

Even if he learned the truth someday, it wouldn’t matter.
