Despite Xue Yang's wails, Xue Yongcheng remained unmoved.
Even Yang Qin, who usually doted on Xue Yang, did not intervene this time.
It wasn't that Xue Yongcheng was heartless; at this moment, life and future were far more important than Xue Yang's temporary pain.
Xue Yongcheng took Xue Yang to Longhua First Hospital.
He even personally called Dong Shaohua, expressing a desire to meet Chen Mo with great sincerity.
However, to Xue Yongcheng's surprise, Dong Shaohua directly refused him, stating that Chen Mo was not in the hospital at all. Shortly after they left, Chen Mo had also taken leave and departed the hospital.
Chen Mo's phone was currently unreachable.
This left Xue Yongcheng bewildered.
If not at the hospital, where could Chen Mo have gone?
His men had been monitoring the vicinity of Chen Mo's rented apartment, and no one had reported Chen Mo's return.
"Dad, shouldn't we go back to the hospital? I... I'm bleeding again," Xue Yang said, looking at his father with a wronged expression.
Blood had already stained Xue Yang's hospital gown from his legs.
"Go back? I think you don't want to live! If he's not coming back, we'll wait here. That's how we show our sincerity," Xue Yongcheng retorted coldly.
He then took out his phone and called his subordinates, ordering them to mobilize and search for Chen Mo throughout the city.
Meanwhile, at a luxurious mansion on the outskirts of the city.
A Bentley slowly stopped at the entrance. A cold and elegant young woman and a young man alighted from the car.
"Xiaojing, wait a moment."
At this, the handsome man driving the car quickly got out, opened the trunk, and took out several gift bags.
"Xiaojing, I heard you like this brand. It's hard to buy domestically, so I asked a friend to get some from abroad. They're all the latest models. See if you like them."
As the man spoke, he handed the gift bags to Mo Xiaojing.
This was the Mo family's mansion.
The young man standing beside them looked displeased, "Ouyang Fuhua, you're not being fair. I brought my sister to your birthday party, and you're giving her gifts but not me!"
Ouyang Fuhua smiled and replied, "Jialong, just say what you want, and I'll arrange it for you."
"That's generous!" Mo Jialong's face lit up.
However, just as he was about to open the bags, he was glared at by Mo Xiaojing.
Noticing Mo Xiaojing's gaze, Mo Jialong reluctantly shut his mouth, looking unhappy.
"President Ouyang, we are just ordinary friends. These gifts are too valuable; I cannot accept them," Mo Xiaojing maintained her distant demeanor.
Ouyang Fuhua clearly faltered, "Xiaojing, I bought these specifically for you. It's a token of my affection."
Mo Jialong also quickly chimed in, "Yes, sister, this is President Ouyang's token of affection. You should accept it."
Mo Xiaojing glared at Mo Jialong again, "Shut up!"
Then, she turned to Ouyang Fuhua, "I've said it before, we are just ordinary friends, so I cannot accept this."
"Also, please call me Miss Mo from now on, President Ouyang. We are not familiar enough for you to call me by my name like this."
Ouyang Fuhua stared at Mo Xiaojing in astonishment. He hadn't expected Mo Xiaojing to reject him so resolutely.
However, he also knew that insisting further would surely provoke Mo Xiaojing's displeasure.
"Miss Mo."
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded from the entrance of the villa.
Everyone looked over. Under the dark night sky, a young man's figure walked quickly towards them.
"Who are you?" Before he could clearly see the approaching person, Ouyang Fuhua, eager to impress, stepped forward, shielding Mo Xiaojing.
"Miss Mo, it's me."
As the young man drew closer, in the dim light, everyone saw who it was.
"Chen Mo?" Mo Xiaojing and Mo Jialong were both taken aback.
Ouyang Fuhua's brows furrowed at this moment.
Chen Mo walked forward and also noticed Ouyang Fuhua.
When he saw Ouyang Fuhua and the other two standing together, he suddenly understood! He finally realized why Ouyang Fuhua had come to find him; the woman he mentioned was actually Mo Xiaojing.
"Chen Mo, you need to be aware of your status. Is this a place you can come to?!" Ouyang Fuhua's tone carried a hint of anger.
After all, Chen Mo had just taken his money, and now he was coming to find Mo Xiaojing, which clearly meant he was playing him.
"Mr. Ouyang, you've misunderstood," Chen Mo quickly explained.
However, before Chen Mo could finish speaking, Mo Xiaojing coldly questioned, "President Ouyang, please also mind your own status. This is the Mo residence, not President Ouyang's estate."
Hearing Mo Xiaojing's apparent anger, Ouyang Fuhua quickly explained, "Xiao— Miss Mo, I didn't mean it that way."
However, Mo Xiaojing did not listen to his explanation. Instead, she bypassed Ouyang Fuhua and walked towards Chen Mo.
As she approached, Mo Xiaojing noticed that Chen Mo looked somewhat disheveled, his clothes slightly messy.
"How did you end up like this? Why didn't you call me when you came here?" Mo Xiaojing asked, puzzled.
At the same time, Mo Xiaojing was somewhat surprised, realizing her good impression of Chen Mo had increased significantly.
Seeing Chen Mo's messy collar, she couldn't help but reach out and tidy it for him.
This scene instantly stunned Mo Jialong, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground.
He knew his sister well. In his entire life, this was the first time he had seen her tidy someone else's collar.
Ouyang Fuhua's expression darkened, his eyes seeming to spew fire.
Even Chen Mo himself was startled by Mo Xiaojing's action and took a step back.
He explained awkwardly, "Miss Mo, I had something I wanted to discuss with you, but my phone ran out of battery, so I could only inquire about your home address. I originally intended to ask the doorman to contact you, but they chased me away, which is why I look like this."
Mo Xiaojing frowned slightly and glanced at the entrance, "I'll settle with them later!"
Then, she turned to Ouyang Fuhua again, "President Ouyang, thank you for escorting us back. My friend is here to see me, so I won't be inviting you in."
How could Ouyang Fuhua not understand that Mo Xiaojing was asking him to leave?
However, Ouyang Fuhua did not leave directly. Instead, he walked straight towards Chen Mo.
Seeing the anger in Ouyang Fuhua's eyes, Chen Mo shook his head helplessly. He knew that Ouyang Fuhua must have misunderstood.
"Chen Mo, it's a pleasure to meet you." Ouyang Fuhua extended his hand to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo politely shook his hand.
In an instant, Ouyang Fuhua's hand suddenly tightened, and immense force surged towards Chen Mo's hand.
Chen Mo's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected Ouyang Fuhua to have such great strength!
If it weren't for his recent training and medication, his hand might have been crippled by Ouyang Fuhua.
