Chapter 355: I really like this kind of game

City B
In the living room of the villa, on the first floor
Wu Tianyi and Xiao Wenqing sat together on the sofa, watching the replay of the press conference.
“Mo Xiuchen is trying to use the media to track us down. It seems we can’t stay in this country anymore. I’ll call Professor Fu to arrange for us to leave the country.”
Wu Tianyi stared bitterly at the screen, at the domineering man there.
Xiao Wenqing likewise showed a face of anger. She had been away from G City for so long without any media knowing about it. Originally, she wanted to go out and relax with Wu Tianyi once her face healed.
Unexpectedly, Mo Xiuchen made this scandal public.
“This is his revenge on Mo Jingteng for letting Zixuan return to the company. Zixuan was photographed last night; it must have been Mo Xiuchen’s doing.”
Xiao Wenqing regretted her past actions. If she had known how powerful Mo Xiuchen is now, she should have done everything possible to prevent him from growing up, regardless of his health challenges.
“Isn’t it obvious? It was definitely him. Didn’t you see, Zixuan got injured. That’s another masterpiece by Mo Xiuchen. Zixuan used to cherish their brotherhood. Well, from now on, he should know, if Mo Xiuchen is there, he is not.”
Wu Tianyi expressed these words with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
“Zixuan is kind-hearted. He isn’t as ruthless as Mo Xiuchen. Why don’t we invite Zixuan over? He’s no match for Mo Xiuchen, and Mo Jingteng’s health is deteriorating. He might fall prey to Mo Xiuchen’s provocation at any moment.”
Xiao Wenqing was a bit worried. After all, Mo Zixuan was her son.
“Invite him over? Now is not the time.”
Wu Tianyi instantly rejected the idea without giving it a thought.
Seeing Xiao Wenqing’s displeasure, he explained, “Mo Xiuchen is waiting for us to expose ourselves. I’m currently enjoying this game of moving in the shadows against the apparent enemy. It’s easier to deal with him from behind the scenes. Let’s wait until we leave the country, then we can directly bring him overseas.”
“Will Professor Fu help us?”
Xiao Wenqing always found Professor Fu chilling. For some reason, she felt like she was in an ice cellar whenever she faced him.
“He will. His enemy is the Gu family, and our enemy is Mo Xiuchen. Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen are good friends. He’s researching a new drug. Once the drug is successfully developed, the Gu family will suffer.”
Wu Tianyi has been in contact with Fu Jingyi, thus, he’s been monitoring his latest movements.
“That’s good. Staying at home every day, I’m bored sick.”
A smile appeared on Xiao Wenqing’s face. Once she left the country, she would be free.
G City
Ever since Mo Xiuchen exposed Mo Jingteng’s scandal to the media, he had stayed home and didn’t go anywhere.
Mo Zixuan also took some time off and stayed at the villa with him.
Qin Mu was on leave, and Wen Ran took over all his previous responsibilities. Her fast learning livened up her work. She spent her days fruitfully at work, being able to accompany her beloved added to her good mood.
Luo Haofeng hadn’t visited Bai Xiaoxiao at the hospital in several days. It seemed that after Mother Bai hinted at him for Gu Kai and Bai Xiaoxiao to progress further, he hadn’t been to the hospital.
Shen Yuting’s speaking tour had temporarily concluded. Started working at Kangning Hospital. These days, she was mostly in the clinic.
One Monday afternoon, she made time to go to Gu Kai’s office.
“Cousin, are you free right now?”
Shen Yuting closed the door and walked towards Gu Kai’s desk.
Gu Kai was looking at a skull CT. Seeing Shen Yuting enter, he smiled, put down the CT, and asked gently, “What’s the matter?”
Shen Yuting sat down in the chair in front of the desk, glanced at the CT he had put on the desk, and said, “I have a question that I’ve wanted to ask for a while.”
Gu Kai’s eyebrows slightly raised, and he asked in a slightly surprised manner, “Oh? What question, is it related to medicine?”
“No, it’s about Mo Xiuchen.”
Shen Yuting’s words made Gu Kai pause. There was a glint in Mo Yu’s eyes as she looked at Shen Yuting’s beautiful face. He relaxed his eyebrows and said, “You’re not trying to ask if Mo Xiuchen’s widely-spread illness back in the day was real, are you?”
“Yes, that’s what I want to ask about.”
Shen Yuting pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on Gu Kai.
She never understood why Mo Xiuchen’s illness was known to everyone in G City.
Over the years, he never had a woman by his side. If anyone was considered closest to him, it was her.
Gu Kai’s smile faded, looking at Shen Yuting, he said seriously, “Yuting, Mo Xiuchen’s illness was diagnosed back then by a group of experts, after a consultation, everyone agreed that his condition was incurable.”
“But how did he later…?”
Shen Yuting’s face turned grim, she did not believe that Mo Xiuchen’s illness could have miraculously healed.
“How did he get better later, right?” Gu Kai softened his tone, “Perhaps, his illness is not only physical but also psychological. As you know, when he was a small boy, he experienced such traumas that the psychological shadows were far greater than physical injuries, resulting in ineffective treatment regardless of the method used.”
This explanation, even if Shen Yuting did not believe it, she had to accept it.
She looked somewhat pale. During her recent days outside, she was constantly thinking of him. Even with great effort, she could not forget about him.
“Last time, I ran into Mo Xiuchen in the Department of Male Diseases.”
“When was that?”
Gu Kai’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly sat up straight from his reclined position.
Her heart sank at his reaction.
“He said that his condition has not improved. Afterwards, I asked the doctor who examined him and he said that Mo Xiuchen would never be able to father a child. Cousin, is this true?”
She had teared up at that point.
A heaviness furrowed Gu Kai’s brow, and he scolded Mo Xiuchen in his heart. Despite his closeness with Yuting, he hadn’t mentioned a word about it.
Seeing his silence, Shen Yuting’s face held a shade of sadness, “Cousin, I remember that you told me last time that Ranran had been injured before, she… ”
“Yuting!”
Gu Kai interrupted Shen Yuting’s words. His lips thinned, and when he spoke again, his voice was slightly lower, “Ranran and Mo Xiuchen were both hurt as children. It’s heaven’s will that they are now together. No matter what you’ve seen or heard, act as if you don’t know.”
Shen Yuting’s eyes widened in confusion. She didn’t quite understand what Gu Kai meant. Was he saying that both Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran were sick, or was it just one of them?
After much thought, she suddenly realized that Mo Xiuchen might be doing this for Wen Ran. At lunch in the cafeteria, she had heard that all the employees of MS Group and Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory would be coming to the hospital for check-ups the next day.
Thus, she came to Gu Kai for an answer!
Even though she knew that Wen Ran is her cousin and the long-lost daughter that the Gu family had been searching for, she still hoped, deep down, that Mo Xiuchen was doing this for Wen Ran rather than an actual illness!
