Su Moshi rubbed his temples, full of mockery, "Still playing this kind of misdirection trick? Is he not clear that the poison of the blue-ringed octopus has no antidote?"
Yin Mo pursed her lips, remaining silent.
She didn’t want to help Xiao Yehui explain, it wasn’t necessary, and it was superfluous.
Even though his state this morning was indeed off-kilter, having learned from past mistakes, and to prevent him from possibly acting deliberately, Yin Mo chose to ignore it.
Xia Siyu frowned slightly, thinking aloud, "The blue-ringed octopus is indeed a marine species unique to Australia, maybe we could also consult the marine dical labs over there?"
Su Moshi didn’t have the heart to crush her enthusiasm, but gently reminded her, "We have a marine biologist, and she cos from Australia."
The light in Xia Siyu’s eyes dimd a bit, she paused for a few seconds, then stood up and said, "You guys talk, I’m going to make a phone call."
Huanxia Pharma Enterprise had branches in Australia, even if they couldn’t find the antidote, obtaining a couple of blue-ringed octopuses for research was feasible.
...
On the other hand, ten minutes had passed, and Yin Mo still hadn’t co out.
Madam Xiao’s complexion was terrible, and she had already tossed aside her earpiece receiver.
Ever since Yin Mo entered the mansion, the signal of her monitoring device had been lost.
It was clearly signal blocking technology.
"Xiaoyan, go in and have a look," Madam Xiao instructed with her eyes closed.
Xiao Yeyan, looking at her tense profile, agreed with a smile, tapped the car window, and a bodyguard imdiately opened the car door for him.
Hearing the sound of him getting out of the car, Madam Xiao slowly lifted her eyelids and looked at the rearview mirror, "Any clues from the drone? "
The driver, her trusted bodyguard, looked warily outside, turned around from the driver’s seat and said, "Not yet, the buildings in the town aren’t tall, the drone can’t get too close, and... lowering its altitude would cause signal interference, our people are still trying."
Madam Xiao’s eyes and brows showed displeasure, "Completely useless."
The bodyguard flashed a look of consideration and suggested softly, "Madam, why don’t we seek help from the Second Crown Prince? Even if the dical Alliance is protected by international law, it can’t disregard the face of the Royal Family."
Madam Xiao turned to look outside the window, after a mont, she gave an order in an even tone, "Don’t worry about these things, just have the drone squad hasten... "
"Madam, the Second Young Master and Captain Yin are coming out," the bodyguard suddenly noticed two figures approaching and hastily alerted her.
Madam Xiao looked over, her gaze carrying inevitable disappointnt.
There was no Xiao Yening.
It had been a day and a night, and she didn’t know what kind of inhuman torture her daughter was enduring here.
Madam Xiao forcibly suppressed her agitated emotions, and as the bodyguard opened the car door, she leaned out.
Yin Mo walked up without changing her expression, bowed slightly, and greeted, "Madam."
Seeing that Yin Mo was empty-handed, Madam Xiao’s smile plumted, "You gave them the stuff?"
Yin Mo nodded, just about to respond, when a vicious slap landed unmistakably on her left cheek, "Useless. Who allowed you to hand over the stuff without seeing Ningning?"
Madam Xiao’s slap was rciless, Yin Mo’s face quickly swelled, with a clear imprint of five fingers.
Her ear also briefly lost hearing; facing Madam Xiao’s questioning, she bowed her head, her voice hoarse, "They said they would release the young miss, but not right now."
"They said?" Madam Xiao raised her hand again, and just as the slap was about to hit Yin Mo’s face for the second ti, Xiao Yeyan tily grabbed her hand, "Don’t get angry, let’s hear her out first."
Madam Xiao shook off Xiao Yeyan’s restraint, looked coldly at Yin Mo, and with a fierce yet fragile threat, she said, "All these years, is this what Ah Hui taught you, to betray your own? You listen to whatever they say? You dare to co back without bringing Ningning?"
This was a deliberate redirection of anger, or more specifically, venting rage on the innocent Yin Mo.
Xiao Yeyan’s attempts to stop her only served to make Madam Xiao even more aggressive.
As she was about to slap Yin Mo a few more tis, a very piercing roar of a sports car ca from the entrance of the small town.
A high-performance sports car skidded to a stop behind Yin Mo.
The car window rolled down to reveal He Chen’s handsoly frivolous face.
His thin lips were curved in a smile, but his eyes were chillingly cold. He casually propped his arm on the window, sizing up Xiao Yeyan with a mocking sneer, "Has your mom gone crazy?"
Xiao Yeyan: "..."
Yin Mo hung her head low. Despite the pain in her cheeks, she couldn’t help but smirk.
Madam Xiao, openly challenged, fixed a stern gaze on Xiao Yeyan, "You know him?"
"Hmm." Xiao Yeyan thought for a mont and gave a very subtle reply, "A friend who is hard to co by."
Madam Xiao pursed her lips, turned to get into the car, then suddenly paused and said, "Xiaoyan, it’s better to be cautious when making friends in the future."
Before Xiao Yeyan could speak, He Chen had already stepped out of the car with long strides.
He leaned against the car door and shook his leg, "Xiao Yeyan, you should also be more careful when choosing a stepmother. Of all people, why choose a madwoman? Is your dad going blind?"
Probably only He Chen would dare to mock Ming Dailan so audaciously in broad daylight.
Xiao Yeyan, caught in the crossfire, looked displeased and said in a heavy tone, "Talk less."
He Chen, catching a glimpse of Yin Mo’s swollen face from the corner of his eye, licked his back teeth with a dark face, "She’s not your biological mother, so why can’t I speak?"
Madam Xiao’s move to get into the car ca to a halt. She turned around, a dark shadow flickering within her eyes, "Young man, be careful of bringing disaster with your mouth."
He Chen dismissed her warning with a carefree wave of his hand, "Save it, you can’t even sort your own life out, and you want to lecture ?"
Xiao Yeyan stepped forward and called out, frowning, "He Chen."
He Chen, arms crossed, exhibited an attitude impervious to oil and salt, making others helpless. He frowned at Yin Mo’s muted deanor, which annoyed him no matter how he looked, "Aren’t you getting in the car yet, or do you expect to invite you?"
Had this woman who was snarling so fiercely before him lost her nerve to a dog?
Yin Mo cast a quick glance at him and did not move.
Xiao Yeyan sensed sothing was amiss and approached He Chen, whispering persuasively, "Not today, we still have things to do. How about you go back first, and I’ll bring her to you in a few days?"
Xiao Yeyan knew He Chen to be a libertine and had assud that his involvent with Yin Mo was rely a fling, but he didn’t expect He Chen to be so protective.
This turned out to be an unexpected gain.
At that mont, He Chen took out a cigarette, lit it up, and with a muffled voice said, "Choose between the woman and your daughter."
Xiao Yeyan raised an eyebrow in surprise, "What do you an?"
Madam Xiao’s expression also darkened as she glared at He Chen.
"Can’t understand human speech?" He Chen lifted his eyelids impatiently, blowing a puff of smoke toward the back of Yin Mo’s head, "Let her co with , and I’ll help you find your kid."
Xiao Yeyan asked dubiously, "Do you know where Ningning is?"
"Not knowing doesn’t an I can’t find her!" He Chen tapped his cigarette-tipped finger on Xiao Yeyan, "Your big brother is really shaless, poisoning others and even involving his own sister, what trash."
