Chapter 884: Will Ranran leave 883?
“She went abroad?”
Mo Xiuchen’s gaze suddenly turned sharp, and a chilling aura emanated from him.
The bodyguard’s heart trembled, and he persisted, hardening his scalp, “Yes, young master.”
Mo Xiuchen eyed them, knowing that asking further would yield no more information. Now, only when Lu Zhiyan arrived would these two bodyguards, who were loyal to Mo Jingteng, reveal the truth.
With this in mind, his cold lips curved, and his half-closed eyes emitted a warning, “You better be telling the truth.”
After speaking, Mo Xiuchen turned and walked away. Behind him, Ah Cheng’s weak voice came, “Young master, won’t you wait for the old master to come out of the surgery room?”
Mo Xiuchen did not turn back; his tall figure quickly disappeared at the stairway elevator door.
“Ah Cheng, do you think the old master might not wake up this time after repeatedly being angered to unconsciousness by the young master?”
Seeing Mo Xiuchen take the elevator away, the two of them raised their hands to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads as one of them asked in a low voice.
“No, he won’t.” Ah Cheng stared at the tightly closed door of the surgery room, pressed his lips tightly, and added, “Although the old master is a bit cruel and ruthless, he has always been good to us brothers. Years ago, if it weren’t for the old master saving us, we would have died by now; thus, we can’t betray the old master.”
“But the young master has already gathered evidence of the old master’s crimes, and maybe the police will really come soon.”
“So what? Do you think, by telling the truth, the young master will let us go? Don’t forget, the young master’s ruthlessness is no less than the old master’s.”

Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory
That afternoon, as soon as Wen Ran started work, her phone rang. She turned on her computer and pressed the answer button, greeting faintly, “Hello?”
“Ranran, my Tiantian is sick.”
The voice coming through the phone was crying, causing Wen Ran to startle, her delicate eyebrows unconsciously furrowing, “Zhou Lin, don’t panic, what illness does Tiantian have?”
Previously, Wen Ran had no particular recollection of Zhou Lin’s daughter.
It seemed she had only seen her once before at the hospital entrance, and in her understanding, such a small child should not have any serious illness.
“Ranran, the test results haven’t come out yet, but Tiantian had been running a high fever for a week now, and the doctor said it might be some kind of blood disease…”
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Lin sobbed repressively.
As a single woman in a foreign country raising her child, it truly wasn’t easy.
It would have been fine if her daughter was healthy, but now that she was ill, Zhou Lin felt overwhelmed, and hearing what the doctor said, she didn’t know what to do.
Zhou Lin didn’t articulate clearly, partly because she herself was unclear since the test results had not yet been released, and some situations were uncertified.
On the other hand, Wen Ran did not understand much about these matters either. She could only reassure her, “You needn’t panic just yet; I’ll call my brother in a moment.”
“Ranran, I am really scared.”
“Tiantian will be fine; it might just be a viral cold. The test results haven’t come out yet, have they? Don’t scare yourself.”
Wen Ran hung up the phone and immediately called Gu Kai, relaying exactly what Zhou Lin had said on the phone to Gu Kai.

At the same time, in the MS Group. In the CEO’s office on the top floor.
Mo Xiuchen had just finished a phone call with Lu Zhiyan when his handsome brow lightly furrowed, his thin lips pressed into a firm, cold line, and his distinct facial features also seemed stern.
After pondering for over ten minutes, Mo Xiuchen finally made a certain decision.
Pulling out his phone, he dialed a number, and after two rings, he heard Luo Haofeng’s voice on the phone, “Hello, Mo Xiuchen.”
Mo Xiuchen sat up straight in his chair and spoke in a calm voice, “Give me Bai Xiaoxiao’s number.”
“Why do you need Xiaoxiao’s number?” Luo Haofeng asked, puzzled. Mo Xiuchen’s eyebrows knitted, his voice slightly deep, “I want her to accompany Ranran on a trip for some time.”
“Ah, why, how can you bear to let Ranran leave?”
“Cheng Jia has disappeared, and I suspect this matter is related to Mo Jingteng. The upcoming period will be very busy for me. If Ranran stays in G City, she could inevitably face danger. It’s better for her to leave G City. If Mo Jingteng doesn’t know where she is, she will be safe.”
This was the result of Mo Xiuchen’s recent contemplation.
Actually, he least wanted Ranran to leave, as it had not been easy for Ranran to agree to accept him, and although she hadn’t fully accepted him yet, the current mode of their relationship was already very satisfying to him.
But given the current situation, he couldn’t allow his reluctance to let Ranran leave to place her in danger.
He was causing Mo Jingteng to be disgraced and was also determined to destroy his lifelong endeavors; Mo Jingteng must truly hate him to the bone. At this time, he would stop at nothing, willing to break the net alongside him.
For Ranran’s safety, he would rather she leave for a while.
“Mo Xiuchen, but will Ranran agree to leave?” Luo Haofeng expressed doubt about this.
Given the previous events, Wen Ran might not be willing to leave Mo Xiuchen so easily again.
Mo Xiuchen pressed his lips together, a flash of determination crossing his eyes, “I will persuade Ranran to leave. You just give me Bai Xiaoxiao’s number, and I’ll handle the rest.”
“Alright, I’ll send you her number.” Luo Haofeng knew he couldn’t change anything once Mo Xiuchen had made up his mind.

After finishing work in the afternoon and on his way home with Wen Ran, Mo Xiuchen noticed she seemed a bit depressed. With a smile, he asked, “Ranran, is there anything bothering you?”
Wen Ran looked up, met his gaze, and said softly, “No.”
“Then why do you look unhappy?” Mo Xiuchen took one hand off the steering wheel, reached over to tenderly stroke her head, and then took hold of the wheel again.
Warmed by his affectionate gesture, a gentle smile bloomed on Wen Ran’s face, “How should I say this, it’s about someone I don’t know whether to call a friend or not. She called me this afternoon to tell me her daughter is sick.”
“Oh? Someone you don’t know whether to call a friend?”
Mo Xiuchen raised his eyebrows slightly, capturing the main point of her statement.
Wen Ran blinked and couldn’t help but laugh, “Yes, we had some grudges before. Now, although I don’t dislike her anymore, I really can’t consider her a friend. But it’s not easy for her, raising a child alone.”
“Is that person someone I used to know too?”
Mo Xiuchen asked with a smile.
“Yes, right, her name is Zhou Lin. She used to like Mo Zixuan a lot. It was because of you that she had a chance with Mo Zixuan for a while and even got pregnant with his child. Later, it was also you who helped her go abroad…”
To clarify for Mo Xiuchen, Wen Ran repeated the past events concerning Zhou Lin in detail.
After listening to her, Mo Xiuchen didn’t immediately respond, but frowned in contemplation. Wen Ran looked at his somewhat stern features and softly added, “Those are all things of the past. Now, Zhou Lin is quite pitiful.”
