CHAPTER 716: CHAPTER 718: SELF-PROCLAIMED DAD

Visiting the hospital, of course, was to see Mo Jiantao.

Mo Jiantao had been extremely weak these past few days. However, after enduring the first three days, his condition obviously much improved and by the fourth day, he was arguing back, overflowing with energy.

The police investigation had also been following up continuously and quickly determined that the kidnapper had a previous record but was not the mastermind.

That is to say, the person who negotiated with Qin Yuan over the phone that day might not be this kidnapper.

Mo Shu seriously suspected that the person colluding with Qin Yuan could very likely be a high-ranking official within the Mo Group.

But she had absolutely no evidence.

She could only... slowly extract evidence from Qin Yuan.

On the way, Mo Shu asked the driver to raise the partition and she started browsing the mall system.

The mall system had many practical items, and it was only after seeing the mall that Mo Shu realized the props she bought from Sao Zha were just the tip of the iceberg.

After searching for a long time, Mo Shu found a prop: Dream Detector.

This shared the magic of ’Scene Replay’ that she had used on Uncle Dong before.

The difference was, ’Scene Replay’ could only show the events that had taken place in a fixed location.

The ’Dream Detector’, however, was divided into a mother unit and a child unit.

The user of the mother unit could enter the dreams of the child unit holder and thus learn the secrets hidden deep in their heart.

This prop was quite practical, just a bit costly, requiring 50 points.

Mo Shu had been visiting the hospital these days, and Mo Jiantao wasn’t surprised to see her but snorted derisively, "Day after day, one might think I was done for."

Mo Shu, with her hands on her hips, snorted back, "I wish that were the case, but I can’t bear to see Grandpa distressed over something as useless as you; otherwise, who would bother with you?"

"I don’t need you to bother, get out!"

"Well, I won’t get out. I’ll anger you to death!" Ji Yun quickly moved a chair over, and Mo Shu plopped down nonchalantly.

Qin Yuan soon came over with cut fruit, placed the plate on the table, and said, "Mo Shu, have some fruit. It’s good for your health."

"Thank you." Mo Shu coldly expressed her thanks, her mind calculating how to get them to consume the prop.

Mo Shu quickly thought of a way.

She had Ji Nan buy a box of snacks suitable for patients from outside, spent 5 points to invisibly integrate the prop into the pastries, and the deed was done.

Having successfully made Mo Jiantao consume the mother unit and Qin Yuan the child unit, Mo Shu’s mood improved a bit.

What remained was to lead them on.

Mo Shu seemingly casually said, "By the way, Aunt Qin, last time, you told me there were some unpleasant things between you and my mom when you were young. Apart from what you’ve already told me, were there any other events?"

Probably no one expected Mo Shu to suddenly bring up this topic, and there was a moment of silence.

Mo Jiantao felt somewhat conflicted.

Qin Yuan, however, was taken aback and said, "I..."

"Enough," Mo Jiantao said sternly, "If you’re just here to make people uncomfortable, then hurry up and get lost!"

"It’s just a question, is it necessary?" Mo Shu said with a mocking smile, "What, did I touch a raw nerve?"

Mo Jiantao flared up in anger, "Is this the way you speak to your father!"

"Have you ever fulfilled a father’s duties to dare call yourself a father?"
