Chapter 6 It Might Hurt A Little, Please Bear With It
- Although Mo Shenbai did not say anything, Xu Tracey knew what he was thinking. Now that he had already fulfilled his side of the agreement, it was time for her to fulfill her side of the agreement, which was to save his sister.
- Xu Tracey pursed her lips before she asked, “Can all of you leave the room for a moment?”
- Mo Shenbai’s eyes flashed as he looked at her. However, he did not say anything and turned to leave the room after a moment of silence.
- Although the eyes of the people in the room were filled with disbelief that Mo Shenbai had acquiesced to Xu Tracey’s request, no one dared to question Mo Shenbai. They obediently followed him out of the room.
- Xu Tracey looked at the girl lying on the bed. Her hair was long and black, her face was pale, and her facial features were delicate. She looked like Sleeping Beauty.
- Finally, Xu Tracey walked over to the bedside. Although she knew Mo Zhiyun was unlikely to feel any pain, she still held Mo Zhiyun’s hand and said apologetically, “Miss Mo, I’m sorry. It might hurt a little so you’ll have to endure it for a while.”
- Outside the ward. Mo Shenbai stood with his back facing the door of the ward. His dark eyes were profound, and his expression was cold and tense. The hands he placed on his back were tightly clenched into fists.
- At this time, Pei Chuan, Mo Shenbai’s assistant, finally asked worriedly, “Chairman Mo, is she really capable?”
- After all, even the famous doctors were helpless. How could an ordinary female university student save Mo Zhiyun?
- Mo Shenbai looked at Pei Chuan. Instead of answering Pei Chuan, he said meaningfully, “I remember there’s a surveillance camera in the ward.”
- “That’s right. At that time, I was worried the nurses wouldn’t take good care of the Young Miss so I had the surveillance camera installed,” Pei Chuan said as he brought his phone out to open the surveillance software on his phone. Then, he handed his phone over to Mo Shenbai.
- Mo Shenbai looked down and saw the young girl pick up a needle before inserting it into his sister’s middle finger.
- Pei Chuan, who saw that as well, exclaimed as his expression changed drastically, “Chairman Mo, she’s trying to harm the Young Miss!”
- Pei Chuan turned around immediately, intending to enter the ward, but he was stopped by a frosty voice. “Stop.”
- Pei Chuan looked at Mo Shenbai anxiously as he said hesitatingly, “Chairman Mo…”, 15 minutes later.
- The door to the ward was pulled open.
- Xu Tracey looked up and saw the man standing at the door. There was no expression on?his face, but his gaze was piercing as he quickly swept his eyes across Mo Zhiyun.
- Pei Chuan, who was standing nearby, saw that Mo Zhiyun was still unconscious like before and frowned. Then, he asked, “Miss Xu, why is Miss Mo still unconscious?”
- Pei Chuan’s tone was skeptical. It was as though he was accusing Xu Tracey of being a fraud.
- Xu Tracey did not reply to Pei Chuan. Instead, she looked at Mo Shenbai, who was also looking at her skeptically, before she softly said, “Miss Mo will wake up soon.”
- “How soon?” Mo Shenbai’s voice was icy.
- Xu Tracey thought about it for a moment before she replied, “A week at most.”
- Xu Tracey thought if she remembered correctly, Mo Zhiyun would regain consciousness in about three to four days. She only said a week to leave a margin for error.
- Mo Shenbai no longer questioned Xu Tracey. Instead, he turned to Pei Chuan and said, “Send Miss Xu back.” “There’s no need,” Xu Tracey said, “I have classes today. There’s a subway station near here anyway.”
- The driver drove a black Bentley. If she was driven to school in that car, she was afraid she would become famous in school within an hour.
- Mo Shenbai did not insist. When Xu Tracey turned around to leave, he suddenly called out, “Wait a minute.”
- Xu Tracey turned to look at him with confusion in her eyes. “Is there anything else, Mr. Mo?”
- Mo Shenbai did not reply immediately. Instead, he looked at Pei Chuan meaningfully. Pei Chuan understood Mo Shenbai’s meaning and left the room immediately.
- Now that there were only two of them in the room, Mo Shenbai asked bluntly, “How do you know about Zhiyun?”
- Xu Tracey averted her gaze as her eyes flashed faintly. Her mind worked quickly and she said, “I naturally heard it from my brother.”
- “Is that so?” Mo Shenbai said emotionlessly as he enunciated each word, “I never told Xu Jialu about this.”
- Apart from the members of the Mo family, no one knew about what happened to Mo Zhiyun.
- Xu Tracey: “!!!”
- Xu Tracey thought to herself, ‘Can someone send help?’
- After Xu Tracey left, Pei Chuan walked in and handed the file in his hand to Mo Shenbai as he said, “Chairman Mo, all of Xu Tracey’s information is here.”
- The first thing Mo Shenbai saw when he flipped the file open was a three-inch photo of a young woman with a small round face with her hair tied up in a bun.
- “Xu Tracey is Xu Jialu’s biological sister. She was sent to the countryside to recuperate from health issues not long after she was born, and she only returned to Mo City when she was 15 years old.
- However, when I went to the hospital where she was born to investigate, the attending doctor at that time said that there was nothing wrong with Xu Tracey’s health when she was born. Apart from that, she doesn’t have any medical records of major illnesses,” Pei Chuan said.
- There was definitely something strange about Xu Tracey being sent to countryside under the pretext of recuperating due to her health issues when there was nothing wrong with her.
- Mo Shenbai did not care about the Xu family’s strange actions. What he cared about was if Xu Tracey could really wake his sister up.
- Pei Chuan was also worried about this matter. He looked at Mo Zhiyun and said worriedly, “Chairman Mo, if Xu Tracey is trying to trick you…”
- Mo Shenbai handed the file to Pei Chuan as he rose to his feet and unrolled his sleeves. He said, “Don’t worry. If she tries to trick me, I’ll make sure her brother pays for her debt.”
- Mo Shenbai might not do anything to a young girl, but he had no such qualms against Xu Jialu. Pei Chuan: “...”
- After being interrogated by his parents for an entire night, Xu Jialu was finally allowed to return to his room to sleep. Alas, as soon as he fell asleep, he had a nightmare.
- In his dream, he had been mercilessly enslaved by Mo Shenbai. Mo Shenbai also said, “Your sister lied to me so you’ll have to pay the price.
- From now on, if I tell you to go east, you can’t go west. If I tell you to find me a chicken, you can’t bring me a dog. If I tell you to be a 0, you definitely can’t be number one!”
- When Xu Jialu jolted awake, he was drenched in cold sweat. He muttered to himself, “You’re 0! Your entire family is 0!”
- Ever since Mo Shenbai exposed her lies, Xu Tracey had been on tenterhooks. She would stay in the university library after classes were over and only returned when it was very late. She would also leave the house as soon as dawn broke. Naturally, she did all these things to avoid Mo Shenbai.
- She was so anxious that she did not even have time to think about Lin Yin.
- Fortunately, Mo Shenbai seemed to have disappeared. She later learned from the butler that Mo Shenbai had gone on a business trip. She also learned that whenever he left on a business trip, he would be gone for several months. With that, she finally calmed down.
- In the evening. The butlers and the others had already gone to rest.
- Most of the lights in the villa had been turned off. Only the wall lamps were left on, illuminating the interior of the villa.
- After Xu Tracey finished her assignment, she felt a little hungry. Hence, she tiptoed downstairs and made her way to the kitchen.
- She loved nighttime the most since everyone in the villa would have gone to bed, leaving her alone. It was quiet and empty; at this time, she could act freely. For example, she could cook supper for herself.
- In order not to alert the others, she simply cooked herself a bowl of noodles. When she turned around to walk toward the dining room with the steaming bowl of noodles in her hand, she was startled by a figure in the dark.
- Her grip on the bowl loosened, and when the bowl was about to fall, the figure reached out to hold the bottom of the bowl with one hand while the other hand held her soft little hand.
- When Xu Tracey raised her head, she finally saw the figure’s face clearly under the dim lights. She stammered, “Mr… Mr. Mo…”
- Mo Shenbai’s eyes shifted from the bowl of noodles to Xu Tracey’s small face. He asked in a low voice, “Why didn’t you switch on the lights?”
- Xu Tracey bit the bottom of her lip before she said, “I… didn’t want to disturb everyone’s rest.”
- She knew the butler would definitely cook supper for her if she had asked him. However, she truly did not want to trouble anyone. Mo Shenbai’s eyes twitched slightly, but he did not say anything.
- At this time, the crystal light suddenly came on, chasing away the remaining darkness.
- Following that, Pei Chuan walked in holding a box. He was stunned when he saw Mo Shenbai holding Xu Tracey’s hand. He was so stunned that his eyes looked as though they were going to pop out of their sockets.
