Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Confronting Simon Face to Face
“…”
Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t help but lightly slap the man’s back, glaring at him.
This dog of a man was really petty when it ca to emotions, nitpicking over every little thing.
Mo Chen looked down at her indignantly glaring with those beautiful eyes, her cute face frad by fury, his large hand caressing her waist, “Try glaring at
one more ti?”
The air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
“Ahem…”
The private detective, having had enough of watching the couple’s display, finally couldn’t stand it and coughed twice. If it went on like this, when would they ever get to the main point, to discuss serious matters?
Only then did Qiao Ruoxin realize there was soone else present, and smiled awkwardly, her cheeks unable to stop blushing.
“Well, just listen to what he has to say, okay? I’ve heard everything, and I think this evidence is very important. It might help you overturn your situation and completely clear your na,” she said sincerely, looking up into the man’s dark eyes.
Mo Chen stared at her for a few seconds and in the end, it wasn’t the private detective who moved him, but her.
The man sat on the sofa, pulling Qiao Ruoxin down to sit beside him.
Mo Chen slowly uttered in a deep voice, “Speak.”
…
After letting the private detective lay out his doubts and reasoning, the atmosphere in the office was frozen for a long ti; no one spoke.
Qiao Ruoxin and the private detective both waited for Mo Chen’s response.
Mo Chen, however, slightly narrowed his eyes, his jawline tense, looking pensive.
Just when the private detective was about to say sothing else, Qiao Ruoxin signaled him with her eyes to stay quiet; Mo Chen needed calm at this mont.
Whenever Mo Chen needed to make a decision, he would beco particularly calm and silent, as if he were a non-existent being.
After what seed like an eternity, Mo Chen finally spoke, looking at the private detective, “Are you sure we can take what that couple said seriously?”
“Confird, I’ve questioned them myself. They claim to have it on them right now, but they’re being protected by soone, and I can’t get close to them, let alone know where they live or who’s protecting them,” the detective replied.
Mo Chen stood up and walked over to the desk, opened a drawer, took out his phone, and made a call, “Find out where that couple is living now, I want information within ten minutes.”
Then, he hung up the phone.
Three minutes later, the phone vibrated.
The man answered the call, and after hearing the report, his brows furrowed, seemingly displeased, and he ended the call.
Qiao Ruoxin stood up and walked over, unable to help asking, “Well, did you find out?”
Mo Chen glanced at her, his voice cold and composed, “They’re living in a villa owned by the Lawrence Family here in the country.”
With a thunderous roar!
Qiao Ruoxin felt as if she had been struck, how could it be the Lawrence Family again!
To what extent did the Lawrence Family want to push her before they would stop?
Tears started to well up in Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes, “I will go with you.”
…
Dusk.
Several luxury cars slowly stopped at a villa on the hillside.
After getting out of the car, Qiao Ruoxin recognized the villa in front of her; she had been here before, the ti she was deceived by Simon.
Qiao Ruoxin stared blankly at the villa before her, and the man wrapped his arms around her shoulders, “Have you been here before?”
“No…” she didn’t want to admit that she had been tricked by Simon.
But she really hadn’t expected that even now, Lawrence still thought of using that couple to deal with Mo Chen.
The private detective also walked out from the car behind them and said, “If the killer’s fingerprints are found on the work badges in the hands of that couple, the truth will soon be revealed. I believe the person who sent them the surveillance video is the real killer, trying to fra Mr. Mo.”
“I hope there really will be fingerprints on that work badge,” Qiao Ruoxin prayed quietly.
If the real killer had been careful enough not to leave fingerprints on the work badge, it would be really troubleso; even jumping into the Yellow River would not wash the stain away.
Xiaowu pressed the doorbell at the front, and when people from the villa ca out to open the door, they panicked.
“What are you doing? Our master has ordered that no one should co in here. Please leave imdiately!”
Mo Chen sneered, “What if I insist on entering today?”
As soon as he said this, he glanced at Xiaowu, his sharp eyes seemingly commanding: break in.
Xiaowu nodded, then jumped directly into the tall European-style wrought iron gate and opened the gate.
“What are you doing! If you continue like this, I’ll call the police! You are breaking and entering! This is Mr. Lawrence’s house! How can you just barge in like this!”
The person tried to step forward to stop them but was kicked to the ground by Xiaowu and couldn’t get up for a long ti.
The gate swung open, and Mo Chen, Qiao Ruoxin, and the private detective walked in together.
Suddenly!
A sports car charged over and stopped right in front of them.
Qiao Ruoxin let out a startled scream, and Mo Chen quickly shielded her behind him, making sure she didn’t suffer a scratch.
Then, the door of the sports car opened, and Simon stepped out from inside.
“The famous Mr. Mo, intending to break into a house? That’s illegal in this country, right? Is the Mo Family really going to cover the sky with one hand as the rumors online say?”
Simon stepped toward Mo Chen, his normally gentle voice now cruelly nacing; his glance also swept over Qiao Ruoxin behind Mo Chen.
Now, just seeing Qiao Ruoxin set him off completely, his fists at his sides clenched tight, cracking in his anger.
Mo Chen pulled Qiao Ruoxin to the side and handed her over to Xiaowu, his voice cold, “Protect her.”
“Yes.” Xiaowu positioned Qiao Ruoxin behind himself.
Only with Qiao Ruoxin safe could he have no worries.
Mo Chen looked at Simon with a sneer, “So what if I cover the sky with one hand? I’m determined to break into this house today!”
With these words, he started walking towards the residential area of the villa.
The always refined Simon suddenly threw a punch at Mo Chen, and he appeared to be quite skilled.
Qiao Ruoxin was stunned, having never expected Simon to know how to fight; his stance looked professional, like he had been training for many years.
In the two years she had known Simon, she had always thought of him as a genteel gentleman who only enjoyed leisurely and entertaining activities, never suspecting he had this violent hobby.
Mo Chen deftly dodged, a flicker of surprise in his dark eyes; he hadn’t expected Simon to have learned so fighting skills.
The two n fought fiercely, matching each other in strength, neither willing to back down.
“Mo Chen! Don’t push it too far! Do you really think the world revolves around you? The affairs of the Lawrence Family are none of your business!”
“If we’re going to fight, then let’s fight! Cut the crap!”
Qiao Ruoxin stood by, watching them fight, and looked at Xiaowu with so worry, “Aren’t you going to help Mo Chen?”
“Two n fighting, if I help now, it wouldn’t be quite right, they’re quite even at the mont,” Xiaowu said.
“…”
Qiao Ruoxin really wanted to smash his head in, how could he be so particular at a ti like this?
