Chapter 257 - Searching for Her

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The man lustfully approached Mo Yan little by little. His eyes burned as he stared at her fair and tender back. He could not look away.

Mo Yan’s nerves were tense and she dared not to make a sound.

The man shifted yet closer to her. And then he was by her side, his heavy breathing landing on her neck.

Mo Yan simply picked up a chicken bone and unhesitatingly thrust it into the man’s chest!

The chicken bone was as sharp as a dagger. Mo Yan also took the best opportunity and used all her strength!

The man fell to the ground and looked at Mo Yan furiously. Mo Yan was unafraid and even ruthlessly stamped on his stomach twice before leaving without a backward glance.

She did not forget to take along the clothes that the man had prepared for her!

After leaving the room, Mo Yan realized that she was in an abandoned garage. She quickly escaped along a safe passage and stopped a car by the side of the road before speeding away in it.

The man dragged his injured body and rushed out. Unfortunately, it was too late. There was no trace of Mo Yan and he didn’t have a clue which direction she had headed.

He cursed under his breath and dialed a number.

“D*** it, that woman escaped when I wasn’t paying attention. However, I have already released the news. As long as Huo Zhen wants to rescue her, he will definitely appear in H City.”

Mo Yan called the police in the car and repeatedly thanked the driver. She exchanged her jewelry for 200 yuan and entered a clothing store, hastily choosing an unremarkable shirt and pants for herself. Only after establishing that the man had not appeared did she let out a long sigh of relief.

She was finally out of danger and alive.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She thought about and struggled with it for some time before finally dialing Huo Zhen’s number.

The phone number that Huo Zhen had left Mo Yan was very private. Other than him, almost no one else knew about it. Huo Zhen frowned as he looked at the vibrating phone. He sighed softly and hesitated for a long time before he picked it up.

“It’s me.”

Upon hearing Mo Yan’s voice, Huo Zhen’s expression became extremely jittery. He could not help but stand up. “Where are you? I’ll come and pick you up immediately.”

His low-pitched voice was filled with unconcealed joy.

Mo Yan was paralyzed for a moment, and her eyes welled up with tears. She did not back down in the face of Mo Lian’s endless humiliation. When she was threatened by the robbers, she was calm and collected. She had never shown any signs of weakness, but when Huo Zhen’s voice came over the phone…

She was shaken.

The inexplicable silence at the other end of the phone made Huo Zhen feel a little uneasy.

“Where are you? I’ll go and find you!” Huo Zhen’s voice was full of urgency. He could not help but care for Mo Yan.

“You…”

Mo Yan was a little hesitant. She thought of the man who kidnapped her saying that she did not know the person by her side at all. He was still hiding many things from her.

She wanted to question Huo Zhen, but she didn’t know where to start.

“I’m in City H, Fanghua Road.”

“Okay, stay there. I’ll be over soon.”

Huo Zhen was obviously relieved when he heard her disclosing her location. He didn’t have time to say anything else and hurriedly disconnected the call.

Mo Yan hung up the phone and quietly leaned against the wall. Her eyes were a little lost.

According to Huo Zhen, he would be here soon…

Was he in City H searching for her?

Mo Yan couldn’t make up her mind.

Huo Zhen rushed to Fanghua Road without stopping. With his identity, he couldn’t stay there for too long. He could be targeted at any time.

“Mo Yan.”

At just a glance, he saw Mo Yan curled up in the corner. Her body was soiled and she had on simple short-sleeved shirt and pants. Like the wall beside her, she didn’t stand out at all.

It had been three days since she had disappeared from the charity gala. He did not know what her living conditions had been like the past three days, and how much effort she had put in to escape from the kidnappers.

Huo Zhen looked at Mo Yan, his gaze filled with anguish.

Mo Yan still stood in place uncertainly. Huo Zhen stepped forward to pull her over, and she subconsciously withdrew her hand.

“What’s wrong?”

Huo Zhen’s frown deepened. Mo Yan had always been very obedient. This was the first time she had disobeyed him, and even appeared to have the intention of escaping from him.

“Luo Tao, I have something to ask you.”

Mo Yan looked at Huo Zhen warily yet firmly. “I’ll be quick. It’ll only take a minute of your time.”

Huo Zhen frowned. Seeing that Mo Yan was so solemn, he hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded.

“Okay. Ask away.”

Huo Zhen leaned against the wall and looked at Mo Yan quietly. The sunlight shone on his handsome face and Mo Yan’s own, making her feel at ease.

He was very trustworthy.
