Just now, Luo Tao received a call from Qin Yuan. He had just seen Qin Yuan playing with a piece of grass not far away from the villa.
“Why are you here?” Luo Tao walked behind him and asked.
Qin Yuan was shocked. He picked up the little kitten and turned around.
“Huo Zhen, why are you here?” Huo Zhen had just rejected his call. In the end, he saw him in person.
Luo Tao glanced around, and when he saw that no one was around, he turned his gaze back to Qin Yuan.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already told the people following me to leave.”
“Okay, what are you doing here?”
Qin Yuan had come out several times to defend Mo Yan. Why would he appear at Mo Lian’s birthday party?
“I didn’t want to come, but the Mo family sent me three invitations saying that they wanted to apologize and that sister-in-law would come. I was afraid that sister-in-law would be bullied, so I came.”
“No one dares to bully her. I can protect her.”
Luo Tao frowned. He always felt that Qin Yuan and Mo Yan were too close.
Qin Yuan saw Luo Tao’s expression and thought to himself, “Huo Zhen, don’t think too much. I thought the Mo family wouldn’t invite you if your identity wasn’t made public, so I came because I had no choice.”
As he spoke, Qin Yuan even moved the little kitten closer to Luo Tao, trying to shift Luo Tao’s gaze.
As expected of a childhood friend, Qin Yuan’s method worked. Luo Tao took a step back and stayed away from Qin Yuan. It was not that Luo Tao hated small animals, but he hated being covered in the fur of small animals.
“Stay away from me, “Luo Tao said coldly.
“Don’t! Huo Zhen, look at how cute it is. I picked it up on the road, and it can’t even walk steadily.”
“Picked it up?” Luo Tao’s voice was even colder. He continued, “Have you bathed this cat? Have you sterilized it? Picking it up as you wish, aren’t you afraid of it carrying a virus? Are you sure your father won’t kill you?”
The corner of Qin Yuan’s mouth twitched. Why did Luo Tao suddenly become so talkative?
“Huo Zhen, you’re not going to tell on me again, are you? You’ve gone too far!”
He looked at the little kitten in Qin Yuan’s arms and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were stuck in his throat.
“Tell me, why did you call me?”
Qin Yuan looked at his expression and smiled cunningly. He continued to tease him, “I wanted to tell you that I can help you check on your sister-in-law’s situation at any time, but it seems that there’s no need for that now.”
Seeing that Luo Tao’s gaze was getting colder and colder, Qin Yuan quickly got down to business. “The matter you asked me to investigate, I’ve found some traces, but it has been too long, so it will take some time.”
“About Mo Yan’s mother?” Luo Tao asked.
“Yes, I found out about a classmate of sister-in-law’s mother. According to that person, sister-in-law’s mother was picked up by someone.” Qin Yuan stroked the little kitten as he told Luo Tao the results of the investigation.
“Who picked her up?”
“According to the results of the investigation, it was likely Mo Dong, but the woman who helped sister-in-law’s mother out of the hotel has yet to be found.”
Luo Tao frowned and thought for a moment before asking, “Can’t you find any trace of the hotel surveillance camera footage?”
“I can’t find it. It has been too long.” Qin Yuan sighed and shook his head.
“We can only wait until we find that woman before knowing the truth.”
Luo Tao lowered his eyes slightly to hide the cold light in his eyes. Could it be that Mo Dong was involved in this matter?
“I remember that the Mo family started making a fortune more than ten years ago.”
Qin Yuan didn’t know why Luo Tao suddenly said this, but he immediately had a bad guess. “Are you saying that Mo Dong was involved in what happened with sister-in-law’s mother?”
“I don’t know. I just suddenly thought of two things to investigate together.”
“Okay.” Qin Yuan was a little interested in this matter now, so it was good to investigate. “By the way, aren’t you afraid of people getting suspicious if you directly deal with that spy from the Grand Court Hotel?”
“It will be more troublesome if I don’t deal with it.”
He couldn’t let anyone know about Mo Yan for the time being. Even if someone suspected him, he had to do it.
“Okay! As long as you are careful.” Qin Yuan said helplessly.
Based on the current situation, Qin Yuan did not approve of Luo Tao continuing to be with Mo Yan. Mo Yan had clearly become Luo Tao’s weak spot. No matter what he did, he had to be restrained.
If it were not for Mo Yan, Luo Tao could have returned to Jing City. He would be able to arrange troops in the Huo family. Moreover, if there were any changes in Jing City, he could deal with them in person, unlike now. He knew that in order for Luo Tao to return to C City with Mo Yan, Luo Tao had specially placed a substitute at his grandfather’s house in Bordeaux.
No matter what excuse Luo Tao had, he had long seen through him.
Luo Tao’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed seeing Qin Yuan’s mother-like appearance. He didn’t know what Qin Yuan was thinking.
