Rui Li replied, “Okay. One more thing, stop torturing single dogs.”

Mo Beichen stopped sending messages for the next couple of minutes. Although both of them had some disagreements, Xia Weilan had gone through shock earlier on and Mo Beichen simply couldn’t let it be. Thus he exhorted a lot of things.

Inside the bathroom, Xia Weilan stood in front of the mirror, naked. The reflection on the mirror revealed the bruise on her shoulder.

Xia Weilan touched her shoulder and it was sore. She sighed. If Mo Beichen found out about this, he might discipline her again. Mo Beichen absolutely showed no mercy when he took action. The last time when she sprained her ankle, she was in lots of pain from his massage.

The water running was heard from the bathroom. Not long later, Xia Weilan got dressed and walked out of the bathroom while drying her hair with the towel. 

“Where’s the hairdryer?” asked Xia Weilan.

“Sis-in-law, let me help you to dry your hair.” Rui Li stood from the couch and took out the hairdryer and plugged it into the socket.

The warm air blew on her wet hair. Neither of them spoke. Rui Li was busy drying the wet hair while she peeked into Xia Weilan’s collar that moved with the hot air blowing onto it.

Underneath the collar, she vaguely saw a bruise. When the hot air flipped the collar, she was able to get a clear view.

She really got hurt.  

When her hair was dry, Xia Weilan suddenly said, “Do you have any medicated wine? May I borrow it for a while?”

“Be back shortly.” Rui Li quickly took out a bottle of medicated wine from the first aid box and placed it on the table.

“Do you need my help?”

“Nope. I can do it myself.” Xia Weilan poured some medicated wine and rubbed on the bruise gently.

Rui Li couldn’t bear to watch any longer. “Sis-in-law, this won’t do. You need to apply some strength. Otherwise, it’s not effective.”

Xia Weilan heard her and said helplessly, “You think I didn’t know? But it’s painful. It should be fine to just rub on it slowly. Otherwise, I’ll rub for a few more hours.”

“Haha!” Rui Li couldn’t hold back her laughter. “What you’re doing is just a tickle. It’s absolutely no use.”

“Okay. I’ll exert more force.” A painful look immediately showed on her face. It’s obvious that she had exerted some extra strength.

Rui Li looked at her speechlessly. She wanted to say something but eventually decided to keep quiet. She went back into her room and took out her phone. She was about to make a report to Mo Beichen regarding Xia Weilan’s condition.

“Rui Li, don’t tell Mo Beichen about this.” Xia Weilan suddenly shouted from the living room.

Rui Li tightened her grip on the mobile phone and hesitated for a while before she deleted the content of the message that she had drafted. In the end, she sent out the message – ‘no big deal’.

On the other end, Mo Beichen read the message on his phone, ‘no big deal’. His chest tightened. To Rui Li, as long as it’s not at death’s door, the rest was all considered no big deal.

“President Mo, they said someone named Gold Hair instructed them. By the time our guy got there, they found that Gold Hair was already gone. Even his family also vanished within a night.” Xiu Wei hung his head low as he reported.

“Go check again if there’s any waiter from the bar that resigned after what happened tonight.” Mo Beichen said coldly.

“Noted.” Xiu Wei immediately sent someone to the bar.

After Mo Beichen finished briefing, he drove to Rui Li’s residential area. He pulled over at the roadside and called Xia Weilan. In the living room, Xia Weilan was clenching her teeth while self-torturing her shoulder. She heard her phone ringing and subconsciously took a glance. She couldn’t help but answer the phone. 

“Hello?”

“…” Mo Beichen was silent. 

“I’ll hang up if you’re not speaking.” Xia Weilan said depressingly. Her shoulder was aching badly now and she was not speaking in a pleasant tone. 

“I’m downstairs now. Go home with me.” Mo Beichen rolled down the window and lifted his head.

“Hmph! Someone framed me you don’t even care about my feelings. You only knew how to scold me. I’m not going back with you.” Xia Weilan felt dejected.

“I won’t scold you. Come downstairs.” Mo Beichen softened his tone.

“I’m not coming down.” Xia Weilan was determined.

“Are you coming down or do you want me to go up?” Mo Beichen was not taking that as an answer.

“Mo Beichen, why are you so bossy? When I said I’m not going home means I’m not going!” Xia Weilan was choking with emotion as she speaks

“Okay.” Mo Beichen hung up the moment he finished speaking.

" "

He let out a sigh dully and sent a message to Rui Li.

“Are you sure she’s not hurt? Tell me the truth.”

A ‘ding’ sound came from Rui Li’s phone. Xia Weilan reacted sensitively to the sound and she quickly snatched the phone from Rui Li and saw Mo Beichen’s message.

“Sis-in-law…” Rui Li’s extended hand froze.

“Hmph!” Xia Weilan read Mo Beichen’s previous messages expressing his care toward her. 

She pretended to be angry and said, “What are you sending? Send it in front of me.” 

Rui Li said helplessly, “I’ll send whatever you wanted me to send.”

Xia Weilan pouted her lips and loosened her grip. She said dully, “I still need to continue rubbing my delicate shoulder. Didn’t you say you have wine? I’ll have some to numb my senses.”    

Soon, both of them were drinking together.

“Sis-in-law, we still need to go to school tomorrow. We shouldn’t be drinking so much.” Rui Li was worried that she might have problems going to school tomorrow.

Xia Weilan’s face was already a little red but she was not completely drunk. 

She sighed heavily, “Today is really an unlucky day. I don’t know what’s gotten into Gu Yuwei. I’ll have to ask her at school tomorrow.”

“Are you saying that it was Gu Yuwei who tricked you today?” Rui Li cast a sharp stare at her.

“Yeah. Maybe she ran into some difficulties. I’ll ask her personally.”

“Okay. I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

The next morning.

When Xia Weilan and Rui Li came downstairs together, a black Maybach was already parked there. Upon seeing both of them, Mo Beichen sounded the horn to catch their attention.

Xia Weilan halted her footsteps and hesitated for a while before getting in another car with Rui Li. Mo Beichen gripped the wheels tightly but didn’t stop them. 

She needed some time to cool down, there’s no harm in giving her some space for a while. When she’s no longer mad, she’ll come back. 

Inside the classroom, Xia Weilan and Rui Li looked around but they didn’t spot Gu Yuwei. 

“Don’t tell me that she absconded out of fear for the crime she had committed?” Rui Li’s eyes flashed with a sharp beam.

“Nope. She must have encountered some troubles. I recalled that there’s something unusual about Yuwei the whole day yesterday.” Xia Weilan still believed that Gu Yuwei must have some hidden troubles that she couldn’t say.

But Gu Yuwei never appeared. Xia Weilan tried calling Gu Yuwei but her calls couldn’t get through. For the next few days, it was as if Gu Yuwei had vanished from the surface of the earth. 

“Why don’t we go to her house to check on her?” Xia Weilan suggested after school today.

They asked for Gu Yuwei’s home address from the teacher at the principal’s office. In the evening, they got in the car together and hurried over to her house.
