Chapter 176 What is the purpose

It was a number without any remarks, but Xu Moli remembered it completely.

The moment she saw the incoming call, her fingertips couldn't stop trembling. After hesitating for a moment, she quickly picked up the phone and called the other party back.

"Hello, Xu Moli."

A man's sinister and low laugh came from the other side.

The moment Xu Moli heard this strange yet very familiar voice again, she even felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.

At the same time, she quickly covered the speaker of her phone and lowered her voice: "Why are you calling me again?"

"Didn't I tell you before that you shouldn't contact me casually if nothing happens?"

The man opposite him smiled playfully when he heard this: "Of course."

"I came to see you today because I have something important to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Xu Moli frowned.

The next second, the man's words made her heart skip a beat.

"Shi Wang hired a private detective to investigate you."

"I have someone intercepted the detective."

The other person's heavy breathing made Xu Moli's heart uneasy before she could relax. Then she heard him continue to say, "But..."

From the other end of the rustling phone came another man's screams of fear and pain.

"This person accidentally leaked some information to Shi Wang. He is now on his way to the Shenzhen Dongcheng District People's Hospital."

"I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before he finds out the child in your belly isn't his. I'm giving you a heads up so you can get ready as soon as possible."

The words from the man on the other end of the phone were like a heavy hammer, hitting Xu Moli's heart hard.

Her heart trembled, and she stepped back unconsciously, accidentally knocking down the glass tea set on the table.

A full glass of water and a teapot filled with hot water were both swept away by the external force and scattered to the ground.

The crisp sound of glass breaking was heard from the quiet hotel room.

Xu Moli lowered her eyes and looked at the wound on her palm that had just been cut by glass fragments and was bleeding. The panic and fear in her eyes were beyond words.

At the same time, she looked up out the window. The sky of the star country, which was originally full of bright moonlight, had become overcast again without her knowing when. There was a terrifying sense of oppression as if a storm was about to come.

After a long silence, Xu Moli finally seemed to regain her voice, trembling: "...I understand."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone and did not dare to waste a moment, and quickly packed her luggage.

And when she finally packed everything, opened the door of the hotel room and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, the moment she opened the door, she met the man's cold and gloomy eyes.

"Xu Moli, where are you going in such a hurry?"

…

At the same time, on the other side, inside the Jiang family’s villa.

After hearing what Chen Haishu said, Jiang Wanning looked at Xie Yanchuan and decided to agree.

Emotionally, Chen Canghui is her grandmother's junior sister, and logically, the bracelet that Jiang Wanning asked her to repair has not been completed yet, and she can't just sit back and watch.

Just now, she raised this hypothetical question because she hoped that the two old people would not go further and further down the wrong path.

Now that she had received the answer that Chen Haishu had promised, no matter what the subsequent results were, it gave her a reason to help.

"Thank you, thank you..." The old man, who had been proud all his life, seemed to lose strength at this moment.

Faced with the life and death of his beloved, he was like a child, crying like rain.

Seeing that he was in a really bad condition, Jiang Wanning urgently called the family's private doctor over. After finally confirming that he was just overly tired due to the long journey in the past few days and the extreme mental tension, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Chen, you can stay here with me for the next few days to recuperate. Xie Yanchuan and I will find someone to find out the whereabouts of the group that took Grandma Cang Hui away. Don't worry."

Since the villa was empty anyway, Jiang Wanning simply found a spare guest room for the old man to stay in.

"Oh... okay..." Chen Haishu was a little hesitant at first, but eventually he couldn't resist Jiang Wanning's enthusiasm and agreed: "Wanning... you are a good child..."

Chen Haishu looked at Jiang Wanning with an expression that seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had something else to say, but in the end, because Xie Yanchuan was present, he returned to the guest room in silence.

After the private doctor treated his external injuries, Jiang Wanning asked someone to bring him two sets of clean clothes. After seeing that he had fallen asleep, she and Xie Yanchuan returned to the living room.

But Xie Yanchuan just took a look and suddenly asked, "Ningning, where is your room?"

"It's on the east side of the second floor, the one with the best lighting." Jiang Wanning heard the voice and subconsciously raised her hand to point in a direction.

The villa's guest rooms are on the west side of the first floor, some distance away from Jiang Wanning's bedroom.

Xie Yanchuan had come to the house to pick up Jiang Wanning several times before, but he had never been to the room where she lived. Now, after hearing what she said, he pulled her into her room without saying anything.

Jiang Wanning was so frightened by his action that she didn't react at all. Her earlobes were red and almost bleeding. "It seems... there's no need to be so anxious, right?"

She subconsciously thought that Xie Yanchuan was going to continue what they had just done, but she didn't expect the man to just lean against the door panel and pull her into his arms and chuckle: "What are you thinking about?"

"Your injuries haven't fully healed yet. Even if I'm anxious, I'm not that kind of beast."

"Then you..." Jiang Wanning's little thoughts were seen through. She looked up with some anger, but unexpectedly met Xie Yanchuan's dark eyes.

It was definitely not a relaxed look.

Sure enough, the next second, she heard the man say softly, "That wasn't the place to talk just now, so I brought you here."

Jiang Wanning was no fool. When she heard what Xie Yanchuan said, she immediately realized something: "You don't mean..."

"Um."

Xie Yanchuan lowered his eyes and responded, while his fingertips casually played with the loose hair of Jiang Wanning scattered in front of her neck, wrapping the black hair around his knuckles in circles.

"Chen Haishu lied."

An answer that seemed unexpected but was indeed reasonable made Jiang Wanning cover her lips and exclaim softly.

But she thought about it carefully again, and it seemed that this old man was rather cunning. From the first time they met, this seemingly roundabout old man had rarely spoken the truth.

"Damn it! I just believed it and got fooled by him again!"

Realizing this, Jiang Wanning gritted her teeth, "Could it be that the affectionate performance he gave tonight was all fake? What's his purpose in doing this?"
