Chapter 711: Chapter 710: 710, Xiaobai, does our Mo Family have any enemies?

Mo Weiyi’s palms were sweaty. He took a deep breath, then answered the phone, “Master.”

Before he could get a word out, he immediately asked for leave. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t keeping an eye on where I was walking and I tripped, spraining my left ankle. I might need to take a couple days off.”

“…” Silence on the other end of the phone.

“Master?” Mo Weiyi felt anxious, “I’m not faking it to take a leave of absence, I really did sprain my ankle. If you don’t believe me, I can take a picture and send it to you.”

“…” Still no response.

Then, the call was cut off.

Mo Weiyi promptly took several photos of his swollen ankle that looked like a pig’s foot, and sent them to Lu Chenyu via WeChat.

[Master, look. I swear I didn’t lie to you.]

He even added a pitiful emoji at the end to sweeten the blow.

After a long while, Lu Chenyu eventually responded, [Are you Lin Daiyu?]

Mo Weiyi: “…”

[Even a blind person wouldn’t trip while walking. Do you have water in your brain? Unsteady gait? Poor balance?]

Mo Weiyi again: “…”

[Even a blind man with a cane wouldn’t trip.]

Mo Weiyi continued: “…”

Meanwhile, Chu Xiuhuang sneakily made a phone call to his best friend from the hospital corridor.

“Did you fire her yet?”

“Not yet.”

“What’s the hold-up? Didn’t we agree? No need to consider my feelings, fire her immediately!”

There was a pause on the other end of the line before Lu Chenyu replied, “I haven’t had the chance to discuss it. She asked for leave first.”

What’s more, she had sent him stomach-turning pictures of her “pig’s foot”!

So, Lu Chenyu got angry and sent her three consecutive WeChat messages scolding her!

Unbeknownst to him, Chu Xiuhuang also started cursing, “Can your mouth be any more useless? You call yourself a top lawyer? Psh! Even a dog getting a bone would be more cheerful than you. You’ve really let me down! Worthless!”

Lu Chenyu: “…”

In the car, Mo Weiyi looked at his WeChat.

As he was thinking about how to respond, Su Wanwan called again.

“Wanwan.”

“Weiyi, has your boss, Xiao, arrived yet?” Su Wanwan asked with concern on the other end of the line.

“He’s here, I’m already in the car.”

“That’s good, next time, let Rong An follow you. I don’t feel at ease otherwise.”

Mo Weiyi couldn’t help but laugh, “My dear Wanwan, I was wrong.”

“What are you talking about.” Su Wanwan didn’t think much of it, “And, you should consider changing your phone number to prevent daily harassments. I was bored on the road and looked up the host. He’s quite popular, with over a million people tuning in everyday and several million followers on Weibo. It’d be troublesome if his fans decide to dox you.”

“It should be okay, no one has been calling recently.”

“Well, it’s up to you. I’ve got to hang up, I’m driving.”

“Okay, bye.”

After ending the call, Mo Weiyi deleted all the spam messages, and blocked all the unfamiliar numbers in his call history.

About half an hour later, Xiao Yebai finally returned.

As soon as he got in the car, Mo Weiyi asked him, “Xiaobai, did you find anything?”

Xiao Yebai responded with a non-sequitur, “Next time, don’t let Rong An leave so casually.”

“Oh,” Mo Weiyi said guiltily, promising to comply.

How was she to know that the one time Rong An wasn’t with her, something would happen?

What a coincidence, wasn’t it?

As the car slowly left the parking lot, Mo Weiyi’s mind raced, “Xiaobai, I feel like that car hit me on purpose.”

Xiao Yebai glanced at her.

Mo Weiyi sat in the passenger seat, wearing a bright yellow dress and a large sunhat. Her hair was loose and her pretty face scrunched up in worry. The whole image was one of pure innocence.

And yet, she was analyzing the situation.

“I mean it, the driver must be a good driver. That parking lot is so narrow, and yet he drove so fast. He must have meant to hit me! Wait, do you think it’s the same person who plotted against me last time?”

It had been two months since the incident at the hotel. It had been so long since the police were unable to find any leads from the surveillance footage or any other evidence, that she almost forgotten it. And now, added to this incident…

Mo Weiyi’s heart began to race, “Xiaobai, do we, the Mo Family, have any enemies?”

Other than this reason, she really couldn’t think of anything else.

Xiao Yebai looked ahead, his long, thin fingers gripping the steering wheel but remained silent.

“Xiaobai?” Mo Weiyi became anxious and reached out to touch his arm.

“…”

Xiao Yebai looked at her blandly, his tone equally flat, “Don’t overthink.”

“But I’m scared. If an enemy really came, would my father and grandfather be in danger? My grandfather is already eighty years old and is still in the hospital…”

“No, there are bodyguards and servants watching over the hospital. As for you, you mustn’t let Rong An leave casually in the future.”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

Why did it all come back to her in the end?

But she could only nod, “I understand.”

**

But first, she made a trip to the hospital.

Fortunately, she had only sprained her ankle and scraped her left elbow when she fell. Aside from that, there was no major harm.

After treating her wound and returning home, Xiao Yebai carried her into the house.

…

In the bedroom on the second floor.

Mo Weiyi sat on the sofa, looking at her bandaged elbow, couldn’t help but sigh.

On the balcony, Xiao Yebai answered Zhan Yao’s call.@@novelbin@@

“The results of the car investigation you asked for are out.”

“Tell me.”

“Following your report, we have apprehended the car owner, but he claimed he was just in a hurry and was driving a bit fast. He also claimed to have severe astigmatism and simply couldn’t see anyone by the roadside. He’s twenty-five years old, works for a foreign company in Nancheng and his parents both have ordinary jobs. There is no connection between him and the Mo Family which I have checked. As for his friends, I am still looking into it and will tell you once I have the results.”

“Okay.” Xiao Yebai’s tone was calm, as if he had expected this outcome.

“Regarding the man who saved the Little Princess, the surveillance video is not very clear. Matching a face from our database will take a few more days.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yebai raised his eyebrows slightly, “Since when has your work efficiency been so low?”

“Damn, don’t you know I’m off work? Do you know how much overtime this is costing me? I started investigating as soon as I received your call. It’s almost eight o’clock now, I haven’t had a bite to eat, I’m starving to death. Instead of thanking me, you’re nagging…”

Xiao Yebai hung up directly.

Back in the bedroom, the sofa was empty, and the sound of water could be heard from the bathroom.

Xiao Yebai put his phone back on the coffee table, and Mo Weiyi’s phone suddenly rang.

A strange number appeared on the screen.

“Xiaobai, who’s calling? Can you answer it for me?”

Xiao Yebai picked up the phone, “Hello?”

“Did I dial the wrong number?” A man’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Who are you looking for?”

“Hello, you must be the beautiful young lady’s friend, right? I am from Yuguo Talent Agency, my surname is Zhou. I’m calling to see if your friend is interested in joining the entertainment industry. Believe me, with her looks, she can definitely become famous…”

Xiao Yebai hung up immediately and blocked the number.

Mo Weiyi came out after washing her hands, “Xiaobai, who was that?”

“Wrong number.”

“Oh.” Mo Weiyi began to apply hand cream.

Aunt Zhou knocked on the door just in time, saying the dinner was ready.

Both of them went downstairs for dinner, and no one really cared about it.

Unexpectedly, after midnight, around one o’clock, the phone began to ring wildly.

Mo Weiyi was instantly awakened.

Xiao Yebai quickly turned on the lights and handed her the phone.

She could only answer, “Hello?”

A sleazy man’s voice came over the phone, panting as he spoke, “Miss, you are so beautiful. Miss, I really like you. Can you tell me where you live? I will come and find you now, Miss…”

“Are you out of your mind!” Mo Weiyi, frightened and sleepless, paled and hung up the phone abruptly.

“What’s wrong?”

Before Mo Weiyi could respond, the phone rang again.

It was the same number as before.

This time, she turned off her phone directly.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, wrong number.” Mo Weiyi put the phone back, then turned off the bedside lamp.

She wanted to go back to sleep, but the disgusting and perverted voice seemed to still be lingering in her ear. Unable to resist, she reached out and hugged Xiao Yebai.

With her eyes closed, smelling the clean and familiar scent that was distinctly Xiao Yebai’s masculinity, she softly called out, “Xiaobai.”

In the darkness, the man’s voice was slightly hoarse, “What’s the matter?”

Mo Weiyi did not respond.

She had to do something to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling brought about by the call just now.

“What happened?”
