The announcement struck Mo Yangyang like a bolt of lightning from the clear sky. She fell to the ground as her knees weakened.
The announcement repeated for a second time. Mo Yangyang was already trembling in fear. Her mind had gone blank.
Xie Xize… he saw her! He knew she was in the hospital!
She was done for!
It was the end…
Latiao thought, How cunning is that Old Xie?
To his surprise, his mother was already kneeling on the ground, her face pale. The announcement had scared the crap out of Mo Yangyang, instead of Latiao.
He reached his hand out to help Mo Yangyang up, “Mom, what’s wrong?”
Latiao was confused about why his mother was so afraid of his cheapskate father, but he never thought she would be so terrified of him!
It seemed he could not afford to rush the meeting between them!
Otherwise, if Xie Xize suddenly showed up, his timid mother might suffer from a mental breakdown from the fright.
Mo Yangyang said with a trembling voice, “I…I’m fine…”
It’s just, I’m about to die…
She tried to stand up a few times.
Latiao grabbed Mo Yangyang’s hand. He noticed her hands were extremely cold.
He let out a sigh. He could not let his cunning cheapskate father do as he pleased. He was too deceitful!
If he was not here, his mother might end up falling for the trick.
(Sigh), their intelligence was not even on the same level! It was completely one-sided!
Latiao looked up and asked in an innocent voice, “Mom…the person they are looking for is Mo Yangyang, her name is only a word different from yours.”
Mo Yangyang immediately replied, “That’s not me…”
Latiao blurted out in surprise, “Ah? I never said it was you.”
Mo Yangyang realized she had overreacted, but she was struggling to keep calm, “I… err… let’s… we should…”
Latiao added, “But, I do think this uncle is pretty wicked…”
“How…how did you know?”
Latiao slanted his head and said, “It’s because he isn’t sure that Aunty Mo, she should be an aunty, he isn’t sure she’s in the hospital, so he purposely asked the hospital to make the announcement. He’s trying to trick her… if she believed it, she’s going to walk right into the trap!”
Mo Yangyang’s eyes widened, “He isn’t sure?” Why would he put up the announcement if he wasn’t sure?
Latiao nodded and held Mo Yangyang’s hand. He guided her, “He’s only putting up the announcement because he wasn’t sure. He’s pretending that he knows the person is in the hospital. It’s reverse psychology, I think it’s called, tossing a stone to find out what’s ahead, or a deliberate show of strength as a warning.
“The announcement is trying to make that Aunty Mo panic. If she tries to run, she will be walking right into the trap. Of course, they will also find her if she remains still. Mom, do you believe that every entrance and exit is now guarded?”
He also believed that the train station was told to keep an eye on them, too!
Mo Yangyang would normally run as soon as she heard the announcement. If she was lucky enough, she might make it out of the hospital.
She would not dare stay in Jinchuan any further after leaving the hospital. She would run as far away as she could. However, she would be caught as soon as she used her identity card to buy a train ticket!
Tsk tsk…
They were interlocked stratagems. His cheapskate father was so wicked!
