Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Mo Yu saw Fang Liu’s smile, he felt a slight pain go through his heart as though he was about to suffocate.

However, Mo Yu thought that he would rather see Fang Liu cry to relieve all the grievances and fear that she was feeling. Instead, she was strong-willed and level-headed. Even after being so close to death, she remained calm so that Mo Yu wouldn’t worry.

Fang Liu felt that she had regained some strength, so she attempted to sit up straight. Mo Yu then hurriedly leaned forward to help her as he pulled her into his warm embrace.

Fang Liu said weakly, “The child… Is the child okay?”

“Y-Yes, the child is fine,” Mo Yu said gently.

Although the doctor said that the child might have some development issues in the future, Mo Yu chose not to tell her about it. He would be more vigilant in the future to protect the mother and child, and he would do his best to make sure that they would never be put in harm’s way.

“I’m sorry that I didn’t listen to you. I’ve caused you so much trouble,” Fang Liu sighed. When she thought about how Mo Yu had mobilized the Southern City’s entire police force just for her, Fang Liu couldn’t help but feel guilty.

When Mo Yu heard her words, his heart ached.

Mo Yu suddenly recalled that Fang Liu’s behavior had been severely impacted when she was in the Fang family home. She was constantly treading on thin ice and lived in fear. Now thinking back, he understood why Fang Liu always felt like a burden to others. Mo Yu became so angry that he thought of killing Fang Bin and his family.

Besides Fang Liu’s behavior being affected by the Fang family, she likely felt that she couldn’t fully trust him and that Mo Yu was simply her husband by law and nothing more.

However, Mo Yu suppressed his emotions and reached out to run his fingers through Fang Liu’s hair. His tone was baleful as he said, “The ones that kidnapped you are the ones that should be sorry. You didn’t do anything wrong. You are my wife, and your problems are mine as well. You aren’t a burden to me, so don’t ever think about that again in the future.”

When Fang Liu heard this, she almost started crying.

‘Why are you treating me so well? You’re just making it harder for me to leave you in the future.’

Although Fang Liu’s mother, Tao Yue, loved her daughter and longed to see her, it was hard for them to meet. Fang Liu grew up in the Fang family’s hellish home and was never treated well. Mo Yu was the first person who treated her well, and he cared so much for her.

Fang Liu turned away and held back the tears in her eyes. Then she asked, “Oh right, do you know who kidnapped me? Could it be one of your competitors?” Fang Liu felt a chill run down her spine when she thought back to the truck that she was trapped in. A look of fear and despair suddenly appeared on her face. That feeling of despair was enough to traumatize Fang Liu for the rest of her life.

Mo Yu pulled Fang Liu closer and held her tightly in his arms. He rubbed Fang Liu on the back and said, “It’s okay, I won’t let anyone hurt you. You don’t need to be afraid as long as I am by your side.” After hearing this, Fang Liu finally calmed down.

Mo Yu then began to talk about Fang Liu’s kidnapping.

“The police arrested the nurse who lured Ah Yu away from you. The nurse said that someone had bribed her. As for the truck, it was stolen from a nearby seafood market.”

“So we don’t know who the real culprit is?” Fang Liu asked worriedly.

“We’ll find out who the culprit is. We just need some time.” Mo Yu patted Fang Liu’s hand and comforted her.

Mo Yu would do everything in his power to find Fang Liu’s kidnapper. He was one of the most influential people in Southern City, so nothing was impossible.

However, Fang Liu had suffered a traumatic experience and was mentally exhausted, so she fell asleep after being comforted by Mo Yu.

After Fang Liu fell asleep, Mo Yu arranged for a few bodyguards to guard the ward that she was in.

When Mo Yu returned to the Mo Corporation, the chief of the police department had arrived and was waiting for Mo Yu.

Mo Yu glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him with an indifferent expression on his face and said coldly, “Do you have any new information about the kidnapping?”

Although the middle-aged man in front of Mo Yu was the chief of the police department, he seemed to be nervous in the presence of Mo Yu’s intimidating demeanor.

The chief wiped the sweat from his forehead and nervously said, “We found out who the culprit is. It’s just that…” Up to this point, the chief’s expression became grim.

The chief initially thought that the ones who kidnapped Fang Liu were just some random people. He never would’ve thought that the culprit would come from a wealthy family. That family was also one of the most influential families in Southern City.

The chief felt as though it was the end of his career as he didn’t dare to offend the Mo family or the An family..
