Since Fang Liu was also a doctor, she could tell what Chu Hao’s expression meant. She knew that Mo Yu was still alive, but something terrible must’ve happened.
Chu Hao knew that he couldn’t hide it from Fang Liu, so he explained what happened. The two bullets nearly hit Mo Yu’s heart, and if the lunatic’s gun weren’t miscalibrated, Mo Yu would’ve died.
Although the doctor managed to save Mo Yu’s life, he had yet to wake up. The doctor mentioned that he wasn’t sure when Mo Yu would wake up.
Chu Hao also told Fang Liu about the recent events of the Mo family. The second branch of the Mo family had become restless since Lin Lin had gotten pregnant.
They knew that Elder Mo disliked Mo Wei, yet they wanted Mo Wei’s son to become the Mo family’s heir. However, Mo Yu had already claimed that Fang Liu’s child was his. So, to avoid any future issues, the second branch of the Mo family prepared to act against Fang Liu.
Mo Yu had anticipated the second branch’s motives, so when Fang Liu proposed a divorce, he took the opportunity and sent Fang Liu away.
After some investigation, Mo Yu discovered that his parents’ deaths weren’t an accident and that Mo Tao was involved. The second branch suspected that Mo Yu had found out about their misdeeds. They grew impatient and kidnapped Elder Mo. They wanted Mo Yu to give up his position as the head of the Mo family.
Cold sweat dripped from Fang Liu’s forehead as she listened to Chu Hao. She finally realized why Mo Yu looked so miserable and why he always came home late. Mo Tao and his family had been causing trouble in the shadows.
“What happened to Elder Mo?” Fang Liu asked nervously.
“Mo Tao is holding Elder Mo hostage in his private villa, but they dare not do anything hasty. They even threatened him to change his will and took his caretaker away.”
Mo Yu never expected Mo Tao’s family to be so daring. Mo Yu arranged for some of his men to keep an eye on his grandfather and keep track of Elder Mo’s condition.
Elder Mo’s caretaker was brave and resourceful. She didn’t act rashly and continued to care for Elder Mo during their imprisonment. When Mo Tao’s men let their guards down, the caretaker asked the property manager for help when he came to Mo Tao’s private villa.
After the caretaker contacted Mo Yu with the property manager’s help, Mo Yu came up with a detailed plan. He pretended to agree to Mo Tao’s proposal and discussed splitting the family inheritance ahead of time.
Mo Tao took advantage of the fact that he held Elder Mo hostage and made ridiculous demands. He wanted four-fifths of the Mo family’s wealth and all their properties within the Third Ring Road. Mo Tao also wanted Mo Yu to step down from his position as head of the Mo family.
Of course, Mo Yu would not agree to such conditions. He pretended to be angry and negotiated with Mo Tao. As Mo Yu negotiated with Mo Tao, his men took Lin Lin away and rescued Elder Mo.
Chu Hao left out some details. However, Fang Liu could imagine how difficult things must’ve been for Mo Yu during those few days.
But Fang Liu wasn’t by her husband’s side, and she even proposed a divorce. Fang Liu covered her face and cried.
“The Mo Corporation has been in a mess as well. Mo Yu wanted to wait until everything was settled before taking you home. He never once thought of agreeing to the divorce.”
“Mo Yu even asked me how he could make you happy again. He feared that he had done something wrong or that you’d grown tired of him. I’ve never seen him behave like that for anyone.”
Chu Hao’s lamentation only made Fang Liu cry even harder. She said in a hoarse voice, “I-I need to see him.”
Xiao Chen watched from the sidelines and silently left the ward. His heart ached for Fang Liu, and he became bitter. He had just fallen in love with Fang Liu, but he realized that she would never be his.
‘God is playing a trick on me. Everything would’ve been perfect if I’d met Fang Liu before she met Mo Yu.’
Fang Liu yearned to see Mo Yu, but the doctor told her to wait for a couple more days, causing Fang Liu to be flustered.
‘It’s been almost a week. Is Mo Yu not getting any better?’
When the police heard that Fang Liu had finally woken up, they gave her a statement. An Xue was the culprit behind the kidnapping, and the police had already arrested her with complete evidence.
An Dong had tried to defend his daughter, but Chu Hao, Xiao Chen, and Ah Yu pleaded against An Xue. They demanded that An Xue be punished severely.
An Xue was doomed to spend most of her life in prison, filled with grief and hatred.
