CHAPTER 686: CHAPTER 688: GU WENJUAN COMMITS SUICIDE

If it weren’t for this necklace, Mo Jiantao wouldn’t have gone back, and naturally, he wouldn’t have gone out.

Moreover, just before Mo Jiantao went out, his attitude towards himself was so poor...

Thinking of this, Qin Yuan felt even more resentful.

Sha Ling had done so many bad things back then, Mo Jiantao should have rightfully hated Sha Ling and her daughter Mo Shu completely.

But in fact, despite his impatient and loathing demeanor towards Mo Shu, he couldn’t help but keep Mo Shu in his heart.

This could be seen from this very necklace.

Qin Yuan was utterly unwilling to accept this.

Back then, starting from when Sha Ling harmed their child, Mo Jiantao had said he would spend a lifetime making it up to her.

And now, this was how Mo Jiantao was making it up to her?

Qin Yuan, wiping her tears, lowered her gaze.

Mo Shu’s emotions were also exceedingly complex.

Holding this necklace, she remained silent for a long time.

Grandpa had already opened the letter.

Inside the letter, printed in Song typeface, the message was simple: "Mo Jiantao is in my hands, guess how long he can last?"

Just that one sentence.

It didn’t mention money or any other conditions.

It was a threat!

Grandpa Mo, aged and frail at this point, clutched his chest, his face turning somewhat pale.

Mo Shu quickly supported him, "Grandpa!"

Grandpa Mo looked at the letter in his hands, his expression ashen, "This scourge..."

Qin Yuan, choking up, spoke, "Dad, he’s been kidnapped..."

Grandpa Mo suddenly became furious, "Of course I know! But if he hadn’t courted death by going out, who could have kidnapped him!"

Qin Yuan trembled at the rebuke.

Mo Shu quickly tried to calm Grandpa Mo, saying, "Grandpa, don’t be so angry, he’ll be alright. Last night Yu Siqiao already went to look for him. I believe we’ll have news soon."

Grandpa Mo’s face showed bitterness.

It wasn’t that simple.

If the other party had stated their terms, there could be room for negotiation.

But the other side had only sent this threatening note, not providing any other information, which was more agonizing than directly knowing Mo Jiantao was in danger.

After calming Grandpa down, Mo Shu ultimately decided to call the police.

After delivering the evidence to the police station and extracting the DNA and fingerprints, they discovered that the other party had been very cautious.

Besides the fingerprints of Grandpa Mo and Mo Shu, who already knew about it, the only other fingerprints were those of the old butler.

The old butler was the one who brought in the envelope, so naturally, his fingerprints were on it.

’Ding’

[Comforting Grandpa task completed, earned 2 points, have continuously completed 30 tasks, the system has been upgraded once, two more upgrades possible, proceed with the upgrade now?]

Mo Shu looked at these prompts and pressed the ’Yes’ button.

Sao Zha immediately flew out.

The red egg, glowing with golden light, fluttered its wings at a rapid pace.

Mo Shu was already very familiar with this form, but quickly, the form began to change at a visible speed.

There was an additional crack at the top of what was still largely a complete dragon egg.

The crack quickly ruptured, and the top of the eggshell turned into golden dust that dispersed with the wind, revealing a head.

As Mo Shu saw this head, her eyes widened.

The head was round, with big, round eyes, the skin dark red. Pupils within the eyes seemed like two complex, obscure large arrays, with the dark red imbued with glints of gold.
