Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2473: Chapter 277

Mo Xiuchen had just walked out of the hospital when his phone rang.

Seeing the name "Ranran" displayed on the caller ID, the coldness between his brows was quickly replaced with warmth. He secretly calmed his emotions before answering the call, "Ranran, have you eaten?"

"I’ve already eaten, Xiuchen, have you not eaten?"

Wen Ran, who had been in love for decades, could tell from Mo Xiuchen’s words that he hadn’t eaten.

"Ye Zhan woke up. I went to the hospital to see him and just came out, planning to go home for dinner."

"Did you talk to him about anything?"

There was a brief silence on the other end. When Wen Ran’s voice came again, there was a hint of unease.

Mo Xiuchen explained gently, "He didn’t do this; he’s the one our daughter sacrificed herself to save. I didn’t do anything to him, just went to see him."

"Xiuchen, if there’s any news about Momo, you must let me know."

"Yes, don’t worry. Since he told us he wouldn’t harm Momo, we’ll trust him for now."

"You also need to be careful over there."

Wen Ran advised with concern.

The originally festive New Year had turned into this.

"I know, Ziye is worried about Qingqing..."

Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran chatted during the whole journey.

When Mo Ziye called in, he ended the conversation with Wen Ran.

——

On the morning of the eighth day of the new year.

While Mo Xiuchen, Mo Ziye, and Qin Mu were eating breakfast, the servant reported a package had arrived.

Putting down his chopsticks, Mo Xiuchen accepted the package from the servant’s hands, showing that it was air-mailed from another city.

With an unfamiliar signature.

The package was light, containing documents.

"Xiuchen, who sent this?"

Qin Mu looked at the package in Mo Xiuchen’s hands with confusion.

Mo Ziye also paused his dining, squinting his eyes, and stood up, saying, "Dad, let me open it."

"I’ll open it."

Mo Xiuchen calmly refused him.

He opened the package to find a stack of files inside.

At the sight of the name on it, Mo Xiuchen’s expression changed abruptly, attracting Mo Ziye and Qin Mu’s attention—a head turned, and a seat vacated.

"Dad, these are all evidence of Shi Dongping and Ji Congxiang’s crimes." Mo Ziye picked up a stack and flipped through it, shock appearing on his handsome face.

His heart was slightly shaken too.

He had investigated Shi Dongliang for years and only found part of it; even knowing what he had done, sometimes there was no evidence.

Ji Congxiang was even more so.

Shi Dongping and Ji Congxiang had deep roots within military and political circles, not something one could easily investigate.

However, the evidence in the package exceeded imagination.

Mo Xiuchen and Qin Mu were equally shocked.

"It’s him."

Mo Xiuchen’s voice was calm and certain.

Qin Mu and Mo Ziye immediately thought of the person.

Though the signature wasn’t there, both Ji Congxiang and Shi Dongping clearly had complex relations with him. He probably had the clearest grasp of their affairs.

"Then we’ll track this address." Qin Mu furrowed his brow, pausing before saying, "Although it may not lead to anything, since he sent the package, we can’t ignore even a one percent chance."

"I’ll have people investigate now."

Mo Ziye responded.

Mo Xiuchen placed the files on the table, staring at the address on the box and said, "I’ll take Qing Feng and Qing Yang there, Ziye you stay here, and handle these things. Ah Mu, if there’s news about Tang Yang, call me."

"Alright, I’ll keep an eye on Ye Zhangming’s side as well."

——

Ye Zhangming hadn’t been idle these days.

He dispatched his most capable subordinates to search for Momo’s whereabouts, hitting dead ends at various places, and in these last two days, there hasn’t been any lead.

It was as if she had vanished into thin air.

In the hospital, Ye Zhan refused to see Ye Zhangming anymore; even when he entered the ward, Ye Zhan ignored him.

The cold treatment from Ye Zhan was not only reserved for Ye Zhangming but for Chu Junming and Feng Yize as well.

Usually cheerful with a mischievous smile, Feng Yize had been wearing a mournful expression these days, while Chu Junming showed an attitude of tolerance toward scolding and beating.

During the New Year holidays without work, aside from unavoidable social engagements, Chu Junming and Feng Yize stayed at the hospital.

Almost like they lived there.

However, since Ye Zhan woke up, apart from questioning Chu Junming, he hadn’t paid them much more attention.

As now, Feng Yize spoke sadly and helplessly, "Brother, hit me or scold me, please don’t silence me, I feel awful inside."

"..."

Ye Zhan rested with his eyes closed, not bothering to open them.

He had been lying down for days, not irritating his wounds, except when missing Momo or worrying about her. Then, his emotions had made his wounds unbearably painful.

Other times he could endure the pain.

"Brother, just one word from you, and I’ll do it myself."

Feng Yize hadn’t said this for the first time. Since Ye Zhan awoke, he had repeated it endlessly these two days.

"..."

There was no response.

He observed Ye Zhan’s cold face, feeling a pang of distress.

"Brother, Grandpa Ye returned injured that night and refused surgery, insisting on seeing sister-in-law. San Ge and I knew it was wrong, but you were gravely injured... we worried about you."

"Before we left, I arranged for someone to rescue sister-in-law as soon as I took you away... Even if they take her away, she was wearing a necklace with GPS tracking..."

"Then where is she?"

Ye Zhan opened his eyes full of ridicule, glaring fiercely at Feng Yize’s grieving handsome face like an injured lion.

"Do you think he’s soft? If he wants to take Momo, will he allow her to wear anything traceable?"

No tracking system was useful.

They had fought long enough; he understood that person’s abilities. It wouldn’t have been hard for him to hide Momo too.

"Brother, I’m sorry."

Feng Yize lowered his head, having nothing else to say except apologies.

"I thought you and Junming understood me."

Ye Zhan’s smile was cold.

Feng Yize was shocked to hear that, "Brother, hit me hard, please."

"Just leave."

Ye Zhan no longer looked at him, closing his eyes again.

The words "just leave" stripped all emotions and warmth, as if they had never known each other.

Feng Yize clenched his fists, staring at Ye Zhan for a while before determinedly saying, "I’ll find sister-in-law now. If I don’t find her in a day, I won’t come see you. If something happens to her, I’ll repay it with my life."

After speaking, he rushed out of the ward.

On the hospital bed, Ye Zhan’s handsome face changed slightly, listening to Feng Yize opening the door.

Listening to his stiff yet slightly surprised voice, "Young Master Yi, did you come to see my brother?"
