If Mo Yangyang was alone, she would have no chance of escaping, knowing her intelligence.
Luckily, she had her son. Latiao held his mother’s hand. He could suddenly relate to the feeling of an aged father.
He could not help but let out a sigh…
Such pressure!
Not only did he need to look out for the bad guys, he had to handle the relationship between his parents, too. How troublesome…
Mo Yangyang took a few steps. She suddenly pulled her son closer, “Ah… someone is at the entrance. What should we do…”
Latiao stopped and lifted his gaze, “Mom, why are you being so afraid? They aren’t looking for you. Just let them be!”
Mo Yangyang was lost for words. Did she really have to tell her son that she was the one the announcement was looking for?
“Well…I…I…”
Latiao thought, Forget it, I shouldn’t trouble her any further. He smiled, “Besides, we don’t have to go through the entrance!”
Mo Yangyang said, “Huh?”
Since Latiao had already seen through Xie Xize’s conspiracy, he had no reason to let his mother walk into the trap. He had another way to leave the hospital.
The hospital was currently expanding. The construction workers had specifically built a new door to move construction materials around. There was no one watching it.
Latiao calmly brought Mo Yangyang with him and left through that door.
Cheapskate dad, until next time…
“Sir, I’m sorry, we’ve searched the entire hospital, but we didn’t find the woman you described. We didn’t see her leaving through the exits, either.”
The bodyguard nervously lowered his head in front of Xie Xize
Xie Xize poured himself a cup of tea. The tea was clear as spring water. He held the cup up without drinking it.
He said after some time, “Keep searching, make sure you keep an eye on places like the train station, bus station, and the airport, too.”
Xie Xize never doubted his instincts. He had never stopped looking for Mo Yangyang over the years.
However, the only clue was the train ticket she had bought in the past. Xie Xize tried searching the cities to the south, but did not find any trace of her. She had disappeared completely.
The bodyguard responded after a slight hesitation, “Understood…”
“Sir, the kid… he’s discharged from the hospital. I have his medical record…”
Xie Xize frowned, “He’s gone too…” He glanced at the medical record, “Han… Weilan…”
When Latiao and Mo Yangyang returned home, Mr. and Mrs. Han hugged Latiao tightly and kept saying how he had lost weight over the past few days.
Mo Yangyang was still lost in her thoughts. She had yet to recover from her fear.
She was praying silently for Xie Xize to leave as quickly as possible, hoping that her life would soon return to normal. She might have a heart attack at this rate!

She finally recovered after resting at home for two days.
The restaurant had been closed for many days. She would lose all her customers if she did not open it soon.
Mo Yangyang thought, Perhaps Xie Xize has already left. There’s no way he would spend so many days in Jinchuan, knowing how busy he is.
At noon, Yuanyuan, a young girl whom Mo Yangyang had hired to be the cashier for her restaurant, told Mo Yangyang happily, “Sister Yangyang, there’s an order for takeaway. It’s a huge order, but the customer has asked us to deliver it within an hour.”
Mo Yangyang looked at the order and said, “There aren’t a lot of customers today. I can deliver the order myself.”
She packed the dishes in takeaway boxes and proceeded to deliver them with her electric scooter.
She arrived in front of the unit of a hotel as mentioned on the order. She rang the doorbell.
The door opened after a while. A tanned young man came out. Mo Yangyang said, “Are you Mr. Wu? Here’s your order!”
The man received the food with a big smile. His expression suddenly shifted. He looked behind Mo Yangyang and stammered, “Professor Xie, you…you’re back?”
