Looking at the unfamiliar number, Xia Zhichu hung up the call.
'bite!'
Soon a text message came in.
Xia Zhichu took a look and immediately sat up from the recliner.
A photo appeared on the screen. It was a photo of Xia Zhichu's mother, with a line of words below it.
"If you don't want your mother to die, go back to your hometown right now."
Xia Zhichu's hand trembled and the phone slipped from his palm and fell onto the deck. Si Mochen had just finished washing the dishes and came over to see this scene. He hurried over in a panic.
"What happened?"
Xia Zhichu heard the voice and gradually regained her sanity. She hugged Si Mochen's shoulders and said, "My mother is in trouble. Let's return to the ship quickly. I need to go back to my hometown."
Si Mochen picked up the phone and read the content of the text message carefully. His face suddenly turned ugly. He drove the yacht back immediately and contacted Yan Sen as soon as possible.
"Go and find out what happened to Madam's mother."
Yan Sen said: "I will arrange it right away."
Just as Si Mochen was about to hang up, Yan Sen suddenly stopped him, "One more thing."
"explain."
"Before I sent Bai Rou away from Jincheng last night, she escaped under the pretext of going to the bathroom."
"What?"
Si Mochen frowned, suddenly remembering something. He picked up Xia Zhichu's phone again, looked at the number, and then reported it to Yan Sen, "Trace the source of this number. I want to know who sent the message."
"yes!"
Yan Sen did not dare to delay and immediately mobilized his men to rush to where Xia Zhichu's mother was.
After Si Mochen brought Xia Zhichu ashore, Yan Sen called, "President, it has been confirmed that the person who sent the text message to Madam was Bai Rou. As for Madam's mother, she was kidnapped by Bai Rou!"
“Damn it!”
Si Mochen cursed, "What's going on now?"
Yan Sen said, "I don't know. The door was locked. When our people rushed over, they couldn't find Madam's mother at home. She is still being searched all over the mountain."
"Where's the helicopter?"
"It's ready and you can board the plane at any time."
Hearing that her mother was in Bai Rou's hands, Xia Zhichu felt weak and powerless. Since Bai Rou chose to escape and kidnapped her mother, she must have made the decision to fight to the death.
Xia Zhichu simply couldn't imagine what terrible thing Bai Rou would do.
Seeing her unhappy expression, Si Mochen consoled her, "Don't worry, the people we sent are already searching for your mother's whereabouts, and we'll have news soon."
Xia Zhichu had no other choice but to place all his hopes on Si Mochen and pray silently in his heart that nothing would happen to his mother.
The two got on the helicopter, and then the sound of the propellers broke the silence of the sky.
Half an hour later.
The helicopter landed safely at its destination.
This was Si Mochen's first time to visit Xia Zhichu's hometown. When he saw this remote mountain village, he couldn't imagine what kind of life Xia Zhichu had lived before.
Xia Zhichu forced a smile at his boss Mo Chen's surprised expression, "Do you think this kind of place is not suitable for human habitation?"
Si Mochen grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. He ate exquisite food prepared by chefs, wore high-end custom-made clothes, and slept in a room comparable to a palace.
A man of his background has no idea how ordinary people live.
Especially in such a remote place, there are mountains everywhere as far as the eye can see, which is comparable to the deep mountains and forests.
Si Mochen said: "No, I just feel sorry for your hard work in the past." After all, he knew about Xia Zhichu's experience a long time ago. His parents were not in harmony, and Xia Zhichu was also patriarchal and treated Xia Zhichu badly in many ways.
Just by imagining that scene, Si Mochen knew how much injustice Xia Zhichu had suffered.
"I've forgotten everything that happened before. Now Xia Gang has passed away, and my brother is away and won't come back. I'm all alone with my mother, so nothing can happen to her."
Si Mochen held her hand even tighter and said firmly, "Since Bai Rou has lured you back, it proves that her target is us. Before we show up, she will definitely not harm your mother."
At this moment, Si Mochen felt that his biggest mistake was that he did not send more people to keep an eye on Bai Rou, which led to this sudden mistake and gave Bai Rou the opportunity to hurt Xia Zhichu's mother.
Just as he was thinking, Yan Sen's voice came from the front, "President, the person is here!"
Upon hearing this, Si Mochen took Xia Zhichu by the hand and rushed towards the mountain.
After meeting Yan Sen, I saw Bai Rou and Xia Zhichu's mother sitting not far away from me, and behind them was a cliff.
Xia Zhichu's heart trembled, and he shouted at Bai Rou in a trembling voice, "I have come as you wished. Release my mother."
When Bai Rou heard Xia Zhichu's voice, she looked up lazily. When she saw Si Mochen coming with her, she became extremely jealous.
"If you let her go now, how can I negotiate with you? And how can President Si let me go?" Bai Rou is not stupid. She knows Si Mochen too well. This man is very protective of his people. Now that she has done something to hurt Xia Zhichu, Si Mochen will definitely not let her go.
Therefore, Xia Zhichu's mother could not let go until she got what she wanted.
"Chu Chu, don't worry about Mom...Mom."
Mother Xia didn't know whether it was because she was afraid or because she was sick, her face was frighteningly pale and even her breath was extremely weak.
This made Xia Zhichu start to panic.
"Bai Rou, what on earth did you do to my mother?"
Hearing her question, Bai Rou laughed coldly, "What? You might as well ask your mother what she is hiding from you."
Xia Zhichu looked at his mother, trying to get the answer from her eyes, but his mother bit her lip tightly and avoided answering.
Bai Rou lost her patience and directly exposed the truth, "Xia Zhichu, you probably don't know that your mother has uterine cancer, and it's in the late stage. There's no cure."
boom!
It was like a thunderclap splitting his heart. Xia Zhichu stared at Bai Rou intently, and then looked at his mother in despair.
Mother Xia's mental state was extremely bad, as if a gust of wind could blow her down at any time.
Xia Zhichu didn't believe Bai Rou's words. Although her mother had been abused by Xia Ganggang for many years, she had always been in good health. How could she have uterine cancer?
If it was in the late stage, why didn't she tell me?
"You're lying!"
Xia Zhichu was extremely excited and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Si Mochen was worried that she might hurt herself, so he hugged her tightly. "Don't believe Bai Rou's words. She's very good at brainwashing people. She's deliberately provoking you."
Of course, Xia Zhichu knew that this was Bai Rou's way of provoking her, but his mother's mental state forced Xia Zhichu to believe what Bai Rou said, that his mother must be sick.
"Mo Chen, my mother can't die!"
