Chapter 264: I’ve brought her to you! Do with her as you wish!

The police reported that Chen Anxiong strongly demands to see him!

At the detention center!

It’s clear that the Chen family has already begun to exert pressure on the police, using some of their connections, and it’s possible they might even resort to direct action against him.

These large family networks are generally deeply intertwined and vast. They hold power and influence and certainly have some desperate characters in their employ.

Xu Mo has not yet agreed to meet. He needs to allocate some of his energy to deal with the Chen family first, and only after suppressing them will he consider it!

Xu Junzhe is still missing. It’s evident that there must be someone backing him. If Chen Anxiong knows where Xu Junzhe is, Xu Mo needs to find a way to pry the information out of him!

With these thoughts, his displeasure quickly subsided. He felt tired, stood up, and headed towards the door.

As he opened the door, Li Banzhuang was also pushing the door open, almost colliding with him.

“Xu Mo!” Li Banzhuang placed the brewed tea on the table.

“We’ve investigated, and the Chen family’s background is indeed very deep! They are not just involved in the rare earth industry; they also have a security company abroad specializing in protecting cargo ships. They have significant influence overseas!” Li Banzhuang said.

During this period, Li Banzhuang has been quietly supporting Xu Mo without asking for anything in return. Gu Huanxi has become the CEO of Pinduoduo and is quite busy. Now, public relations and investigative matters are all handled by Li Banzhuang.

Li Banzhuang has become more like Xu Mo’s personal secretary, dedicated and conscientious.

Seeing the concern in her eyes, Xu Mo comforted her, “It’s okay! I expected this. These big families are never easy to deal with.”

“I’m a bit worried that they might act out of desperation! Especially someone like Chen Anxiong, who is more likely to go to extremes!” Li Banzhuang said.

“Don’t worry! I’m not going to die that easily. Chen Anxiong is the one who’s going to be stuck in jail!” Xu Mo replied with a relaxed smile.

“That’s good to hear!” Li Banzhuang said, feeling reassured.

Li Banzhuang is not as career-driven; she prefers a stable and peaceful life. Recently, she has handed most of the tasks over to others and focused on being Xu Mo’s secretary.

Xu Mo had a strong liking for the young woman and reached out to ruffle her hair.

Li Banzhuang’s face instantly flushed, and she became as gentle as a kitten, seemingly enjoying the gesture.

—

After a full day and night of unconsciousness, Xie Bingyan finally woke up in the hospital.

The doctor advised Xu Wanting and Xu Xuehui that Xie Bingyan’s body was still in recovery and could not handle too much stimulation. They needed to be cautious and soothing, so Xu Wanting did not dare to present any documents.

Even when Xie Bingyan turned to Xu Wanting with tearful eyes, pleading, Xu Wanting shook her head and refused.

Xie Bingyan needed several days to recover, and she indeed required time.

As Xie Bingyan looked at Xu Wanting and saw her visibly pregnant belly, which was already three or four months along, a tear fell from her eye. Her expression froze slightly as she noticed this.

Xie Bingyan raised her hand to point at Xu Wanting’s belly, inquiring.

With tears in her eyes, Xu Wanting cried and smiled as she explained, “I—I’m married! He’s in the countryside and couldn’t come. I didn’t let him.”

Xie Bingyan’s mouth opened in surprise.

Understanding her question, Xu Wanting continued with a smile, “He’s a good person, not competitive or greedy. Though he’s poor, he still sends some children to school, hoping that the kids from the mountains can achieve something. He may not be as successful as others, but I’m already very satisfied…”

Xie Bingyan’s tears began to fall as she listened.

How outstanding Xu Wanting used to be!

A top student, a college entrance exam champion, an outstanding young entrepreneur in Xiahai City, the head of Deverna, holding a hundred-billion-dollar business, a high-status young lady—she was the pride of both her parents and a model for all her siblings. It was unimaginable that she ended up in such a situation.

In this situation, they undoubtedly bear some responsibility. If it weren’t for them, Xu Wanting wouldn’t have been forced to leave her hometown.

When Xu Wanting was still in Xiahai City, she was pursued by many, but now she’s been compelled to marry a poor teacher.

“Don’t worry about me! I’m doing fine! Mom, you should focus on your recovery. We’ll talk about things later!” Xu Wanting said softly, her tears falling as she comforted her.

She was genuinely satisfied and at peace, not dwelling on other matters. If not for Xie Bingyan’s condition, she likely wouldn’t have returned to the capital.

Now, she only wished for Xie Bingyan to recover quickly.

……

Xie Bingyan couldn’t speak yet, and upon waking, everyone hurried to visit her.

Old Master Xie and Old Lady Zhao wanted to scold her, but seeing her condition, they could only sigh and hold their words, waiting for her situation to improve before addressing their concerns.

Additionally!

Xu Manni has been arrested!

……

When Xie Zhen arrived at the hospital, he saw Xu Manni and, without hesitation, immediately handcuffed her.

Xu Manni was shocked and asked Xie Zhen what was going on. Xie Zhen glared at her angrily and said, “What do you mean, what’s going on? Xu Manni, you’re charged with attempted murder!”

Xu Manni was taken aback by this.

“I’m taking you to Xu Mo. Let’s see what he has to say! You’d better hope he shows you mercy, or I won’t let you off easily! You’re going to jail!” Xie Zhen said furiously.

Xu Manni was horrified and exclaimed, “Uncle, you’re going to hand me over to Xu Mo? He’ll kill me! How can you side with Xu Mo?”

“And where should I side? Should I side with you?” Xie Zhen retorted angrily.

“All of this is because of mother! It’s all because of Xu Mo that Junzhe has been missing! Xu Mo must have kidnapped Junzhe. If you want to catch someone, then go after him! Why are you arresting me?” Xu Manni cried out in panic.

“Even if there is no evidence that Xu Mo kidnapped Xu Junzhe, you’re still being arrested for attempted murder and conspiracy. Even one of these charges is enough to put you away! You better behave yourself!” Xie Zhen said angrily.

“You can’t hand me over to him! He might kill me! Uncle, you can’t do this!” Xu Manni pleaded, her face filled with fear.

But Xie Zhen ignored her, gave her a stern look, and dragged her away.

……

When Xu Mo received Xie Zhen’s call, he couldn’t help but smile, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Xie Zhen kept his word and directly handcuffed Xu Manni.

However, he showed some leniency towards Xu Manni, perhaps hoping that Xu Mo might soften his stance. Instead of taking Xu Manni to his own company or residence, Xie Zhen took her to the Xu family villa and informed Xu Mo.

Xu Mo, of course, was unwilling to return to the Xu family villa. After considering it, he provided Xie Zhen with a location and asked him to bring Xu Manni to an abandoned warehouse.

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhen sighed inwardly but had no choice but to comply and take Xu Manni to the warehouse.

“I’ve brought her to you! Do with her as you wish! But Xu Mo, your uncle still hopes to ask for some leniency…”

Before Xie Zhen could finish his sentence, Xu Mo had already hung up. Xie Zhen was left feeling quite embarrassed.
