"Can't just let him starve to death, can we?" Tang Yutong came up with a compromise and instructed the butler politely, "Mo Jin hasn't eaten anything today. Please bring him some food."
The butler was taken aback. In his impression, this was the first time the young mistress had taken the initiative to care about their young master.
"Very well," the butler replied respectfully.
In no time, the butler prepared the food and soup and brought them upstairs. Tang Yutong watched the butler and muttered to herself, "It's not like I brought it up myself. It doesn't count as caring."
"Ding-ding."
Suddenly, the sound of a message notification rang out in the spacious living room. Tang Yutong, who was lost in thought, trembled and reached for her phone on the coffee table. She glanced at the message, "Help me, Bai." Her eyebrows furrowed suddenly, and a hint of panic flashed across her face.
The image of Wen Xuan's smiling face and Bai Zhiyue crawling into the ventilation duct flashed through her mind. She trembled with fear, "Could it be that Wen Xuan has taken her back again?"
Tang Yutong called back the unfamiliar number, but no one answered.
She kept dialing, her hands shaking uncontrollably.
Three minutes passed, but there was still no response.
"Forget it!" Tang Yutong stood up and ran upstairs, bumping into the butler who was coming down the stairs.
"I'm sorry!" Tang Yutong apologized hastily and ran to Mo Jin's study. She was about to knock on the door when it opened from the inside, and Mo Jin pulled her into his arms.
"The food you had the butler bring me?" He asked, pinching her face. For the first time, joy overflowed from his eyes. Tang Yutong was startled by this sudden intimate gesture, but quickly regained her senses and felt violated. She pushed Mo Jin away and said, "I have a serious matter to ask for your help."
Mo Jin's expression had already turned sour.
"Bai Zhiyue was probably caught and taken back by Wen Xuan, and she asked for my help?"
"Why do you care so much about other people's business?" She had never been so concerned about him before.
"She sent me a message!" Tang Yutong handed the text message to Mo Jin, her expression showing that she was unwilling to stand by and watch.
Mo Jin glanced at the message with a cold look in his eyes. "I won't help." He had no interest in meddling in other people's affairs.
With that, he turned and walked towards the dining area, casually saying, "If Wen Xuan intends to take her back, she won't be able to escape no matter what."
Ha!
Tang Yutong was already prepared for Mo Jin's indifference, and she sneered twice in her heart. She glared at Mo Jin and said, "If you won't help, I will."
With that, she turned and left.
Mo Jin frowned as he picked up his chopsticks, then put them down again.
The car drove quickly and steadily on the highway.
Tang Yutong continued to call the unfamiliar number, but it remained unanswered. The other party seemed to have completely disappeared, and their fate was unknown.
Seeing Tang Yutong's anxiousness, Mo Jin comforted her, "Let's go to Wen's house and see. After all, Wen Xuan wants to bring her back home, so if we find her, it's very likely that she's been taken back there."
It was already dark outside. Bai Zhiyue rushed out of an inconspicuous hotel, barefoot and with her wedding dress torn and her face covered in obvious bruises, as if she had just suffered from violence.
Five men dressed in black suits chased after her closely.
She ran desperately through the sparse crowd and the quiet streets and alleys.
The man behind her was like a ghost of death, lingering on.
Finally, at the exit leading to a bustling square, Bai Zhiyue saw a glimmer of hope. However, two bodyguards blocked her way, forcing her to step back.
"I will never go back! Someone like Wen Xuan only deserves my dead body!" Bai Zhiyue was originally only dissatisfied with her family using her as a bargaining chip for a business marriage. She didn't hate Wen Xuan very much when she first met him because of his good looks. But now that she has witnessed his cruelty and ruthlessness, she can only see him as a devil.
"The boss ordered us to bring you back, even if we have to cripple you," the bodyguard repeated Wen Xuan's words like a heartless robot.
"If you have the ability, then cripple me!" If she could survive, she would make Wen Xuan pay the price.
"Offend!" The bodyguards didn't waste any more words and quickly walked towards Bai Zhiyue with a devilish face. Bai Zhiyue was terrified and used all her strength to fight back, hitting the person's face wildly and fiercely poking their eyes.
The person retreated while covering their eyes and screaming in pain. Bai Zhiyue took advantage of this opportunity to run out of the alley and collided with a car that was rushing towards her - bang!
Her body flipped twice heavily, and she lost consciousness.
The bodyguards who chased after her were stunned in place. Although they said that, they didn't really want to cause a fatal accident.
Just as they were about to approach her, a Lamborghini blocked their way.
Tang Yutong rushed out of the car and threw herself at Bai Zhiyue's side. "Bai Zhiyue, how are you?"
"Mo Jin -" Trembling all over, Tang Yutong instinctively called out Mo Jin's name, her voice tinged with tears.
Although Mo Jin was extremely reluctant to touch other women, he still bent down and picked up the unconscious Bai Zhiyue.
"Mr. Mo, this is the person our boss wants. Please hand her over to us."
"Tell him to come find me!" After giving a warning glance, Mo Jin took Bai Zhiyue to the hospital.
On the second floor of the Wen residence, wearing a nightgown, Wen Xuan drank coffee and listened to his subordinates' reports. His face gradually darkened, and his eyebrows furrowed tightly when he heard that Mo Jin had intervened in the Bai family's affairs. Mo Jin was not an easy person to deal with, which made Wen Xuan suddenly feel extremely annoyed. He fiercely smashed the coffee cup in his hand.
Bai Zhiyue was taken to the emergency room. Tang Yutong, who was worried, asked a friend from a week ago for the Bai family's parents' phone number and called to inform them while tightly holding onto Mo Jin's sleeve.
Twelve hours later, Bai Zhiyue woke up in pain and opened her eyes groggily. "You're awake!" A male voice sounded, and Bai Zhiyue subconsciously thought it was Wen Xuan. Her pale face trembled, and her eyes were filled with fear. However, she still gathered the courage to look at the person in front of her. "It's you?" Her weak tone had a hint of relief after seeing Mo Jin's face.
At this time, Tang Yutong was leaning against Mo Jin's shoulder, wearing his coat and sleeping soundly. "Don't thank me. It was this woman who wanted to save you." Mo Jin glanced at Tang Yutong, who had not slept well all night, and gently called out, "She's awake." Tang Yutong responded with a sound and opened her eyes, seeing that Bai Zhiyue had woken up. She instinctively comforted her and smiled. "Thank you!" Bai Zhiyue looked at Tang Yutong's smile and suddenly regarded her as a good friend.
Tang Yutong realized this and turned to look at Mo Jin, asking, "Did you call the doctor?" "What do you think?" Mo Jin replied.
She slept leaning on him, and he couldn't move naturally.
Tang Yutong realized it and put her suit jacket on Mo Jin's lap. "You stay here and watch over her. I'll go call the doctor."
As she turned around, she saw Wen Xuan slowly walking into the ward, dressed in a gray suit and wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, looking like the epitome of a gentleman.
"Miss Tang, thank you for saving my wife last night." His smile was warm, but there was a chilling sense of danger in it.
"The wedding was ruined, so you can hardly call yourselves husband and wife, can you?" Tang Yutong's words were sharp, and Wen Xuan smiled, but his eyebrows furrowed, clearly suppressing his anger.
However, thinking that Mo Jin was sitting next to her, Tang Yutong was not afraid at all. After all, Mo Jin's possessiveness was so strong that he wouldn't let anyone bully his woman.
