Chapter 52: Investigation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mo Yu noticed the chief’s hesitant tone and said impatiently, “If you have something to tell me, then you should just tell me!”
The chief hurriedly placed a stack of investigation reports onto the desk in front of Mo Yu.
Mo Yu picked up the investigation reports and glanced at them. The expression on his face immediately changed.
After An Xue hired the kidnappers to kidnap Fang Liu, she happily returned home and waited for them to report back to her with some good news. Fang Liu wasn’t the primary target, however. An Xue was targeting the child in Fang Liu’s belly instead.
A pregnant woman could survive in a refrigerated truck for up to two hours, but the fetus in her belly would definitely not be able to survive.
When An Xue arrived home, she made a cup of green tea and sat leisurely on the balcony of her home. A manicurist was also half-kneeling beside An Xue, carefully polishing her nails. She then closed her eyes in enjoyment as she felt the warmth of the sun on her skin.
When An Xue thought of Fang Liu, who was trapped inside the freezing seafood delivery truck, her seductive red lips curled into a smug smile.
“You think you can beat me, you little b*tch? You have no idea who you’re dealing with.”
An Xue then unknowingly fell asleep, and by the time she woke up, the sky had already turned dark. The manicurist had also finished their job and gone home.
An Xue went inside, put on a woolen coat, and wiggled her slim waist as she stared into the mirror to admire herself. Then she hurriedly ran downstairs happily.
However, before she could sit down to enjoy her dinner, she saw her parents walking in with gloomy expressions on their faces.
“Mom, Dad, why are you here—” before An Xue could finish her sentence, her father, An Dong, gave An Xue a hard slap on the face.
“Why did you slap me, Dad?!” An Xue yelled as she covered her face and looked at her father in shock.
“Sit down and talk to her, An Dong. There’s no need to slap her,” Mother An said anxiously. But Mother An did not dare comfort her daughter in front of her furious husband.
An Dong was so angry that his face immediately turned red. “I would have beaten you to death if you weren’t my daughter! However, it would be better for you to die at home instead of dying in a jail cell.”
When An Xue heard this, she immediately panicked. However, she managed to maintain her composure and feigned ignorance. “What do you mean, Dad? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Don’t pretend like you don’t know what I’m talking about. Are you responsible for what happened to Fang Liu? Aren’t you aware that she’s pregnant? It would be fine if she were some random woman, then I wouldn’t care how much you torture her. I wouldn’t even care about her meaningless life. However, Fang Liu is the young madam of the Mo family, and if something were to happen to her, the Mo family would never forgive us!” An Dong said bitterly.
An Xue was baffled. ‘How did he find out about this so quickly?’
Looking at his daughter’s baffled expression, An Dong gritted his teeth and said, “Do you take Mo Yu for a fool? Even I won’t dare to provoke him. But you almost killed his wife and unborn child! Do you think that he’s going to forgive you for this?”
“Mo Yu managed to retrieve the footage from the city’s surveillance cameras overnight and found out who was involved in the kidnapping. Then, he traced the money you transferred to the kidnappers and found that it was linked to our family’s company bank account. You didn’t even have an alibi when you went out during the day. Did you honestly think that he wouldn’t discover that you were the one who kidnapped his wife?”
An Xue’s face immediately turned pale. She stuttered as she said, “B-But, I didn’t intend to kill that b*tch. I only wanted to teach her a lesson…”
An Dong let out a loud sigh and closed his eyes. “Mo Yu came to look for me just now. He said that from now on, our families are at odds with each other and that the Mo Corporation will no longer cooperate with our company. As for you, Mo Yu said that he will press charges.”
‘Press charges? Does Mo Yu want to sue me for kidnapping and hurting Fang Liu?’ An Xue was shocked.
‘How is this possible? Why is Mo Yu being so unkind toward me? That b*tch, Fang Liu, must have influenced him. Mo Yu would never treat me so unkindly.’
A flash of hatred glinted in An Xue’s eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, “That’s impossible! I refuse to believe you!”
When An Dong saw that his daughter was behaving stubbornly, he couldn’t help but say bitterly, “So what if you don’t believe it? I know that you’ve loved Mo Yu ever since you were young, but you must know by now that Mo Yu isn’t interested in marrying you. Instead, he chose to marry a pregnant woman. It’s not like there aren’t other men willing to marry a daughter of the An family. If you ever embarrass yourself again in front of the Mo family, I will never forgive you. From this day onward, you will stay home and reflect on your mistakes!”
An Xue watched in disbelief as her father stormed out after furiously chastising her. An Dong left without giving An Xue the chance to speak.

“How can Dad do this to me, Mom?!” An Xue was so angry that tears began to roll down her face.
