Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2342: Chapter 146: Mo Ziye’s Protection

Although Momo went out with Huo Song,

both Yuanshan and Yuanfeng were tagging along.

After leaving the dessert shop, she said goodbye to Huo Song, refusing his offer to take her back.

“Junior Sister, tonight…”

“I didn’t sleep well last night, and I want to go to bed early tonight, Senior Brother. See you at the TV station tomorrow.”

Momo interrupted Huo Song with a grin.

Huo Song didn’t insist, just kindly reminded her, “Then rest early tonight, see you at the TV station tomorrow.”

Momo waved at him and walked towards Yuanshan, who was standing by the car on the roadside.

——

Momo received the call from Mo Ziye less than ten minutes after getting in the car.

“Sis, you don’t need to come back later, go straight to the Ye Family.”

Mo Ziye told Momo over the phone, “Qingqing and I are going out too.”

Momo frowned and said weakly, “You two go ahead, I’ve been tired all day. I don’t want to go anywhere today; I just want to go home and have a good sleep.”

“I haven’t even told you, and you haven’t asked why we’re going to the Ye Family. How can you say you’re not going?”

In the villa’s courtyard.

Mo Ziye and Qin Qingqing were preparing to head to the Qin Family.

With the winter day short, a thin layer of twilight had already veiled the sky, so he decided to call Momo to ask her to head directly to the Ye Family.

Unexpectedly, she said she wouldn’t go.

Mo Ziye’s deep eyes flashed with contemplation.

He heard Momo’s voice in his ear, “Going to the Ye Family at night, what else could it be for but dinner? I heard the Ye Family has a good relationship with Grandfather Qin and Grandpa An. Now that they’re not in the Imperial City, the Ye Family must be concerned about Qingqing and invited you two. I won’t go crash the party. I didn’t sleep well last night and didn’t rest at noon. Right now, I just miss the big bed at home.”

Even though Momo said a lot, her voice was truly filled with exhaustion.

Although Mo Ziye was busy today, he still took a nap in the afternoon.

He thought about how Momo indeed didn’t rest well last night and was busy all day today, so it’s natural she felt tired.

Moreover, since she didn’t want to go, she must have her reasons.

He didn’t force her and said, “I’ll have the auntie make dinner for you. Go home, have a meal, and rest. Qingqing and I will go to the Ye Family for dinner.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Mo Ziye saw Qin Qingqing looking at him and smiled, explaining gently, “Momo’s not going, just us.”

Qin Qingqing blinked at Mo Ziye, “Wasn’t Grandpa Ye inviting Sister Momo?”

“That’s the Ye Family’s business.”

Mo Ziye was unconcerned; Old Master Ye wanted to see his sister because of those rumors, perhaps to see if she was worthy of Ye Zhan.

That’s just Old Master Ye’s wishful thinking.

If his sister wasn’t going, it meant she didn’t want any entanglements with Ye Zhan.

What the Ye Family thought didn’t concern him.

Qin Qingqing detected the protectiveness in Mo Ziye’s tone towards Momo and laughed, “Brother Ziyi, you’re right. What Grandpa Ye thinks has nothing to do with Sister Momo.”

The driver from the Qin Family was the one taking them to the Ye Family.

Less than ten minutes into the ride, Mo Ziye’s phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, his eyes darkened a little.

Beside him, Qin Qingqing tilted her face towards him, “It’s a call from Shi Xi. She might have something urgent. Brother Ziyi, answer it.”

Mo Ziye glanced at her.

A faint smile lingered on her face, showing no signs of displeasure.

Mo Ziye hesitated for a few seconds, then as the ringtone sounded a few times, he slowly pressed the answer button and coolly said, “Hello!”

“Ziyi, help me, please.”

On the phone, Shi Xi’s voice was low, filled with panic, fright, and a hint of a nasal sound, as if she were suppressing a sob.

Mo Ziye’s expression changed slightly, and his voice grew a notch deeper, “What happened?”

“I was caught by my uncle. He found out I tipped you off last night and said he’d kill me.”

“Where are you now?”

Mo Ziye furrowed his elegant brows.

“I was taken back to the Shi Family and locked up. My mom secretly gave me the phone. My dad’s not home. Ziyi, I don’t want to die yet…”

“So, last night’s incident was orchestrated by Shi Dongliang?”

Last night, Shi Xi didn’t tell him it was Shi Dongliang.

“Yes, my uncle ordered last night’s actions. None of the people he sent out returned, and he was furious, so he grabbed me back because Shi Zhen added fuel to the fire…”

Shi Xi’s voice was hurried.

She was genuinely scared.

Her father wasn’t home, and her mother’s pleas were futile.

Last night, Shi Xi only thought about how she couldn’t bear to watch Mo Ziye die, risking the consequences to notify him.

But she forgot that by doing so, she provoked Shi Dongliang to want to kill her.

For an ordinary family, murder might necessitate justice.

But for the Shi Family, with people like Shi Dongliang who had blood on their hands, murder meant nothing to him.

Even if he killed Shi Xi, her parents wouldn’t dare do anything.

Because their interests were tied together…

“Don’t be afraid, wait for my news.”

Before Shi Xi could finish, footsteps could be heard outside, and she dared not continue.

Mo Ziye’s voice was clear and indifferent, without a hint of panic.

Beside him, Qin Qingqing remained silent, watching him quietly.

Mo Ziye dialed the President’s number.

He had recorded his conversation with Shi Xi earlier.

He had met the President this afternoon, who assured him that a thorough investigation would be conducted.

He trusted the President’s words.

After all, incidents like this happening in the Imperial City, regardless of who was behind it, was a slap in the face for the President.

After finishing the call with the President, Mo Ziye didn’t instruct the driver to change direction but continued towards the Ye Family.

“Brother Ziyi, those people haven’t confessed yet. Can we rescue Shi Xi by going directly to the Shi Family?”

“Whether they confess or not, it’s an indisputable fact that they’re from the Shi Family. Now we have Shi Xi’s testimony; unless Shi Dongliang isn’t home, he can’t escape.”

“What if…”

“The President has already sent people to the Shi Family. We’ll just wait for news.”

Mo Ziye reassured Qin Qingqing with a smile.

Shi Dongliang, intending to execute Shi Xi, must have already made certain preparations.

Perhaps when his men didn’t return, he started planning.

“Should we go to the Shi Family?”

“No need. We are victims as well. Rescuing and solving the case is Ye Zhan’s and the police’s responsibility.”

The Shi Family is a military political family; Mo Ziye had no intention of confronting them directly. His call to the President was to have someone handle it.

Half an hour later, Mo Ziye and Qin Qingqing arrived at the Ye Family.

At the door, they exchanged greetings with Chu Junming and Feng Yize, then all four were welcomed into the Ye Family.

In the living room, Old Master Ye put down his teacup and stood up.

Before he could speak, Feng Yize quickly stepped forward, laughed, and supported Old Master Ye, “Grandpa Ye, Big Brother said he had something to do and would come later, so he sent us to keep you company first.”
