As soon as he returned to the villa at Lishui Bay, Mo Yaoxiong called.
Xiao Yebai picked up the cell phone, just took a look, and it was immediately snatched by Mo Weiyi.
“Dad!”
The line went still at the other end.
Then, Mo Yaoxiong’s voice came on, “Let Yebai answer the call.”
But Mo Weiyi already started talking hurriedly, “If you’re asking about what happened at the club tonight, I’ll tell you, Xiaobai had nothing to do with it. It was that bastard surnamed Qi who tried to molest me. I just had my bodyguard beat him up…”
“Who is this Qi?” Mo Yaoxiong interrupted her.
Mo Weiyi was taken aback, “Huh?”
“Weiyi!” Mo Yaoxiong’s voice immediately turned serious, “Did you cause trouble again?”
Mo Weiyi stuck out her tongue.
She thought Mo Yaoxiong was asking about this incident, only to find out that he was completely unaware. Had she just incriminated herself?
She quickly handed the phone to Xiao Yebai and ran into the bathroom.
Xiao Yebai picked up the phone, and could still hear Mo Yaoxiong scolding, “All day long, if you’re not causing trouble, you’re interfering with Yebai’s work. When will you ever grow up? Weiyi? Are you listening to me…”
“Dad.” Xiao Yebai spoke up.
Mo Yaoxiong immediately asked, “Weren’t you supposed to discuss a collaboration on the construction project in the west city with Mr. Qi tonight? What happened?”
Xiao Yebai replied calmly, “Nothing much, just a minor accident.”
“Weiyi went with you?” Mo Yaoxiong grumbled, “It’s not decent at all. Why did you take her there?”
Xiao Yebai didn’t respond.
“Next time, don’t take Weiyi to such occasions!”
“Understood.”
“How bad is the injury?” Mo Yaoxiong asked again.
“Nothing serious.”
“What nonsense! I don’t need to remind you of the importance of this project, do I?” Mo Yaoxiong lectured, “In the business world, we’d rather have one more friend than one more enemy. Take care of it how you see fit, but we must secure this project.”
“I know.”
Only when the voices outside subsided did Mo Weiyi cautiously peek her head out from behind the door. “Xiaobai, what did dad say?”
“It’s fine.”
Mo Weiyi, relieved, walked over, hugged him and hid her face in his arms, confessing, “I was wrong. I won’t attend any more social events with you.”
Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow, just about to speak….
“Who knew I was this good-looking? A femme fatale, no matter where I go, men try to harass me. I think I’d better stay home.”
Xiao Yebai,”…”

Just when she thought it was over, the next morning, when Xiao Yebai left for work and Mo Weiyi was still in bed, she received a call from Mo Yaoxiong.
“Weiyi, come to Nangong Hospital right now.” fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
“What happened? Dad, are you sick?” Mo Weiyi promptly got up.
“Room 2203.” Mo Yaoxiong said and then hung up.
Mo Weiyi frowned.
Checking the time, it was only nine in the morning.
She was supposed to have an elective class at ten-thirty. It looked like she had to miss it again.
Sighing, she thought, there’s always something preventing her from studying hard, it was exasperating.
Mo Weiyi got out of bed, washed up, and put on a dark green long skirt paired with a beige knitted sweater and a black overcoat. She quickly went downstairs and asked the bodyguards to drive her.
She did her makeup in the car, and by the time she was done, they had arrived at Nangong Hospital.
It was early winter, and a dusty cold wind was howling.
Mo Weiyi lowered her head and hurriedly ran into the hospital building.
Arriving at Room 2203, she knocked and went in only to find…
“Weiyi.” Over by the hospital bed, Mo Yaoxiong frowned, “Come and apologize to Mr. Qi.”
Mo Weiyi was stunned.
She looked at the man lying on the bed.
Was this the jerk from last night?
He was dressed in a blue and white hospital gown, laying there, his entire head wrapped in gauze, only his eyes, nose, and mouth visible.
He had his eyes open, but there was no reaction as they spoke.
“Weiyi!” Mo Yaoxiong’s tone was stern.
“No need.” The speaker was CEO Qi, who stood up from the couch with a heavy tone and grim expression. “Ms. Mo is of a noble background. We don’t need, nor can we take your apology. Chairman Mo of Mo Family, please leave.”
“Brother Qi, I’m sorry. My daughter has been spoiled since she was young, and her bad temper keeps growing. It truly is her fault that young master Qi is injured like this…”
“Dad!” Mo Weiyi couldn’t help interrupting him. “Why are you apologizing for me? Why don’t you ask why he got beaten up?”
“How dare you keep stating that!” Mo Yaoxiong stopped her. “Do you know how seriously Qi’s son is injured?”
Mo Weiyi widened her cat-like eyes. “How is that possible?”
The bodyguard only punched him a few times last night, didn’t he?
At most, there would be some minor physical injuries. How could it be so serious?
“This is the doctor’s injury assessment report!” CEO Qi angrily tossed a report on the table. “My son has been diagnosed with a level three concussion and now he can’t even recognize me! The doctors say he may permanently lose his memory and become useless! Chairman Mo, as I said before, don’t apologize. We’ll meet directly in court!”
Mo Weiyi was dumbfounded.
She immediately tried to explain, “Dad, you can ask the people at the club last night. Oh right, and there is also the surveillance footage. All this can be used as evidence for us.”
“Hmm.” CEO Qi sneered. “Then we’ll wait for you to bring forth the evidence to court. For now, you can leave!”

As they left the ward, Mo Weiyi immediately said, “This Qi is trying to scam us. Dad, don’t fall for his trick.”
Mo Yaoxiong was very angry, “Do you think that’s his only motive?”
“What else do they want to do?” Mo Weiyi thought for a while. “Don’t they want to cooperate with us?”
Mo Yaoxiong was silent.
He felt a headache.
Workers from Li Family protested outside of Mo’s house every day. Now, Qi family was causing trouble as well.
The matters on the business field were often too complex to explain.
Unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to burn all bridges.
Originally, he wanted Mo Weiyi to apologize politely, so they could discuss the matter. But it ended up even worse than expected.
“Dad, let’s go to the club right now and find the surveillance video from last night.”
But Mo Yaoxiong remained silent.
“Dad…”
“Do you think I haven’t checked?” Mo Yaoxiong finally spoke. “The surveillance footage from the club was deleted last night. Upon questioning, the only thing people admit is that your bodyguard assaulted someone. Everything else was unclear. I also consulted the doctor, who insisted on the concussion diagnosis. They have prepared thoroughly so that there will be no evidence against them. After all, you’re completely fine now, but his son is covered in wounds.”
“So, what can we do about it?” Mo Weiyi was frowning.
“You go back to the old house first.” Mo Yaoxiong looked worried. “Today is your grandmother’s death anniversary. I haven’t been able to sleep well since last night. Go back and keep him company.”
“I got it.” Mo Weiyi could only leave for now.
On the way to the old house of Mo family, Mo Weiyi was still thinking about the incident in the ward. She felt uneasy, so she drew out her phone to call Xiao Yebai.
But just as the call connected, the car abruptly stopped.
It was as if someone had slammed the brakes.
The phone was thrown in the car. Mo Weiyi lifted her head, only to see a large patch of blood on the car window in front of her.
Mo Weiyi screamed in fear, “Ah…Ah…Ah…Ah…Ah!”
The bodyguard quickly said, “Princess, please don’t get out of the car. Let me check what happened.”
“… Okay,” Mo Weiyi was too shocked to react and nodded automatically.
As she watched the blood dripping down from the car window, her face gradually turned pale.
The biggest reason she never wanted to learn to drive was her phobia. She was terribly afraid of blood, which would confuse her whenever she saw it.
All she could do was lower her head and listen as her bodyguard opened the car door and stepped out. Soon, a woman’s voice echoed, “Someone has been hit and killed! Quick, call the police!”
Mo Weiyi’s face turned even paler.
The car door was closed again, blocking out all the noise from outside.
Mo Weiyi curled up in the backseat, her body slightly trembling. It wasn’t until the ringtone started playing in the car, that she snapped back.
It was the special ringtone she set for Xiao Yebai.
“Little white rabbit, white and bright, both ears stand up straight…”
She bent down and picked up the phone from under the seat with difficulty.
As soon as the call was connected, Xiao Yebai’s calm voice came through, “Weiyi, what’s wrong?”
She had screamed right after the call was connected earlier, then went silent. So Xiao Yebai had to call her back.
“Xiaobai,” Mo Weiyi’s voice trembled, “I’m at the gate of the old house. It seems…it seems that someone has been hit and killed. What should I do, Xiaobai? I’m scared.”
She didn’t actually see what happened exactly. But seeing so much blood on the car window and hearing people yelling, she instinctively thought something terrible had happened..
