Chapter 851: She Might Have Been Kidnapped
He scrolled through her WeChat moments and noticed that all her posts were related to her work. There were several pictures of her agricultural produce, promotional posts, advertis.e.m.e.nts for her school, and her students’ artwork.
She might have had suffered a lot.
Mo Yixuan thought , “She had chosen to follow a foolish and mute man, and someone who didn’t even have anything.”
He could tell from her WeChat Moments posts that she had been working extremely hard to earn a living over the past few years. He also saw her skin become tanner and her figure becoming chubbier.
His Yan Yan used to dress very well and was always very concerned about her outer appearance and weight but she no longer looked like she cared about these things anymore.
He guessed that she must have been so burdened by economic woes that she didn’t have the time to concern herself with all that over the past few years.
This was his fault for putting her through such terrible experiences.
Mo Yixuan felt sorry for her and also was overcome with guilt. This also made him even more certain that he couldn’t let her go back to that mute to suffer.
——
The next morning, Mo Yixuan who had just drifted off to sleep was awakened by a phone call. He looked at his phone screen and saw the word ‘uncle’ flas.h.i.+ng on the screen.
He frowned and couldn’t understand why his uncle would suddenly call him since he had just visited several days ago.
He accepted the call and soon his uncle Li Yunsheng’s voice could be heard.
“Is this Yixuan?” Li Yunsheng asked doubtfully as though he wanted to make sure that it was Mo Yixuan on the other end of the line.
“Yes, it’s me,” Mo Yixuan said calmly. His uncle had always doted on him since he was a child and he had a pretty good relations.h.i.+p with his uncle.
“Yixuan, someone from Ming City has lodged a police report and claimed that a woman named Chen Yan is suspected to have gone missing. She was last known to be heading to Ye City to send Yuan Yuan back to the Mo family and after she came to Ye City, suspicious activities have been detected on her phone. The person who made the report said that Chen Yan hasn’t been picking up her calls but has been responding to text messages and suspected that she might have been kidnapped or held hostage against her will. The security system shows that her phone signals have been detected near a mansion and this mansion is under your name. Tell me truthfully, do you have something to do with this case?”
Li Yunsheng immediately said a string of words and he clearly seemed worried. He wouldn’t have known about it if it hadn’t been for his subordinate who told him that his nephew might have committed a crime. Once the police started their investigations into this case, he would no longer be able to interfere in this matter.
Mo Yixuan paused and suddenly frowned. A look of irritation flashed past his eyes.
He bit back and urge to curse.
d.a.m.n it, how could these people be so perceptive? It had only been two days and someone had already made a police report.
“Yixuan, are you listening?” Li Yunsheng asked when he noticed that Mo Yixuan had fallen silent.
“Uncle, I know what I’m doing,” Mo Yixuan snapped back.
Li Yunsheng said, “Yixuan, if you have truly kidnapped this woman, you have to let her go soon before the case is established. The police have yet to a.s.sign someone to investigate this case, so I’d still be able to help you even if the person ends up lodging a complaint against you. Don’t do anything that could agitate your mother further. She’s already in such a terrible state and if her illness acts up because you got into trouble, she might possibly lose her life.”
Li Yunsheng warned his nephew. This was a crucial year where he would be up for promotion, so he couldn’t afford to use his authority to protect his relatives. This might affect his job.
