Miss Qin An ca down and, after calling everyone’s na, saw that Qin Yuan’s eyes were very red and swollen, still filled with tears.
Miss Qin An asked, "Mom, what’s wrong?"
Then, she looked toward Grandpa Mo, "Grandpa, what happened?"
Yet the atmosphere remained sowhat tense.
Of course, Miss Qin An couldn’t possibly ask Mo Shu; her gaze quickly turned to Ji Nan, who had been standing quietly behind Mo Shu.
Ji Nan, understanding the situation, said, "President Mo is missing."
Miss Qin An’s first reaction was to think that Mo Jiantao had simply gone out for so pleasures and would soon return.
After all, Mo Jiantao playing around wasn’t unusual for just a day or two; at most, he would definitely return ho in three days.
But then she thought that if it were just a pleasure trip, their expressions wouldn’t be so grave.
Qin Yuan wouldn’t be crying like this, would she?
Seeing the look on Miss Qin An’s face, Ji Nan added, "He’s been kidnapped."
The statent was simple and to the point.
Miss Qin An imdiately understood, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "How could this happen, what do we do now? Why would soone kidnap Uncle? Is it for money?"
Kidnapping is usually about money.
It wasn’t strange for the wealthy Mo Family to be targeted by so desperate criminals.
But she didn’t rule out the possibility that it was an act of revenge.
Given that the Mo Family had been in the worldly society for many years, doing nurous business deals, it was only natural to occasionally obstruct soone else’s path.
If it was for money, then there could be room for negotiation.
But if it were the latter...
Miss Qin An didn’t dare to continue the thought.
Mo Shu was also feeling quite complex emotions when suddenly, the butler returned with a report, "Old Man, Princess Mo, madam, Miss Qin An, Young Master Yu is here. When I went to answer the door just now, I found this at the gate."
The butler brought over an object.
It was a white envelope.
The butler said, "I’ve already opened it and checked inside. There’s a letter and a necklace, but I didn’t read the specific contents. Please have a look."
The butler handed the envelope directly to Grandpa Mo.
The envelope felt heavy; Grandpa poured out the contents, and a necklace quickly slid out.
The necklace was made of platinum, and the pendant was a simple smiley face.
But this smiley face looked very familiar.
Mo Shu was startled and reached out to take it, "Grandpa, let see."
Holding it in her palm, Mo Shu studied the smiley face—a star on the left side, eyes and mouth hollowed out, with a tongue sticking out to the right side, and a thin line beneath it.
mories flooded her like a tide.
This was...
The stick figure drawing she had made when she was very young!
In her original world, back in the orphanage, she had drawn this thing and given it to the Dean.
Because the Dean had kept it for a long ti, it left a deep impression on Mo Shu.
But why would it appear here now?
And turned into a necklace, kept close to Mo Jiantao’s body...
Was it just a coincidence?
But wasn’t this ’coincidence’ a bit too specific?
Mo Shu found it hard to believe; turning it over, there was a string of neat yet childish handwriting on the back; clearly written by a child, with just five words: "Happy Father’s Day."
Seeing these words, Mo Shu suddenly felt a sharp ache in her chest.
Qin Yuan exclaid excitedly, "It’s this, this is it!"
Miss Qin An saw it too but didn’t understand why Qin Yuan was so excited.
Qin Yuan said, "Now you must believe ; it’s because of this necklace!"
