CHAPTER 697: CHAPTER 699:

He only had this one precious granddaughter, and her getting into trouble would hurt him even more than if Mo Jiantao had!

Besides, it wasn’t just one life at stake with Mo Shu, but three!

Seeing Mr. Mo’s attitude, Qin Yuan anxiously said, "Dad, Jiantao has been kidnapped for three days! He must be having a hard time eating and sleeping... He might even have been beaten, and now that we finally have some news..."

Mr. Mo sternly shouted, "Absolutely not!"

He picked up his phone, "Where has Si Qiao gone? I’ll have him take you back!"

But Mo Shu held his hand, "Grandpa, Aunt Qin is right. He has been kidnapped for three days, and if they get provoked, they might accidentally kill him..."

Mo Shu knew Mo Jiantao wouldn’t die; Qin Yuan couldn’t afford to lose such a valuable asset.

However, she intentionally said this, giving Qin Yuan the chance to make a scene.

Sure enough, Qin Yuan took her cue, wiping her tears and crying out, "How could he bear it, Mo Shu? He is your father!"

Mr. Mo could not contain his anger and shouted, "Shut your mouth!"

Qin Yuan turned pale from being scolded, then as if she regained her senses, she said in a defeated tone, "I’m sorry, Dad, I was too anxious," and then she started crying out uncontrollably.

Mo Shu sighed lightly, "Grandpa, let me go."

Now, Sao Zha had ’evolved’ to a much better state, benefits Mo Shu had yet to fully appreciate.

But over the past few days, she clearly noticed her mental and physical state had improved dramatically; her back no longer ached, her legs no longer hurt, and she could even run up three flights of stairs in one go.

This was no joke.

More directly, her vision had improved greatly. She could see much farther, and her hearing had become very sharp. Provided she wanted to, she could ignore Mo Family’s soundproofing and listen to anything she desired.

Of course, it was just improved vision and hearing; she was nowhere near possessing supernatural senses.

Sao Zha’s aura was entirely different from before, and with this task at hand, Mo Shu was certain there would be no problems.

But naturally, she couldn’t discuss these things with Grandpa Mo.

Mo Shu reassured, "Please don’t worry. They just want money, and once they have it, both he and I will be safe."

’That he’ was naturally Mo Jiantao.

Qin Yuan’s crying began to subside, and her eyes lit up with delight as she looked at Mo Shu.

But internally, she was scorning: What a naïve girl!

Afterward, Mo Jiantao might come back safely.

And her?

She likely wouldn’t have a chance.

Grandpa Mo was frantic, "No! It’s not possible!"

As he spoke, he had already dialed out.

Mo Shu quickly hung up his phone and said, "Grandpa, really, I promise absolutely..."

"What can you promise!" Grandpa Mo’s eyes were red with worry, "You aren’t the reckless little girl you used to be. Now you’re someone’s wife, someone’s daughter-in-law, and carrying two little lives inside you. It’s too risky for you to go, what if something happens to you, how would I explain it to them!"

Mo Shu’s expression turned stern, "Then are we just supposed to abandon Mo Jiantao?"

Grandpa Mo felt a bitter ache in his heart.

Abandon him?

How could they...

The love for his granddaughter and his son weighed equally heavy on his heart!

Mo Shu placed her hand over Grandpa Mo’s, "Grandpa, this is the only way now. If we’re lucky, maybe I can bring Mo Jiantao back with me."
