Chapter 248 - Gagged Mouth
“Argh, why can't I ever catch what others are saying!” The man grumbled irritably, scratching his head in frustration, yet he hesitated to venture forth alone.
Just as he pondered his next move, his phone chimed.
Upon glimpsing the caller ID, he promptly answered with deference, “Hello, Brother Mo Ya.”
“Yes.”
Mo Ya's voice was subdued as he queried, “Is Mr. Mu Sizheng in Hua Xia yet? The Young Mistress inquired.”
The mention of his mistress further elevated the man's respectfulness. “We've arrived. We're just getting settled.”
“What about the explosion? Do you require assistance?”
Assistance? Ah, yes. I recall hearing that Mr. Mo Ya sought permission from the Young Mistress to travel to Huaxia a year ago; it slipped my mind.
“This issue does pose some complications. If assistance is needed later on, I'll consult with my superior and have him reach out to you.”
“Very well.” The response was succinct.
The man suddenly felt awkward, uncertain how to respond.
He had heard rumors about Brother Mo Ya's aloof demeanor, but he hadn't anticipated such brevity in conversation.
Yet, there were whispers about him injuring his own subordinate before returning to the Young Lady's side. And there was talk of his application to come to China a year ago. Could he be avoiding his subordinate?
Though he hadn't been involved in that incident, he'd heard his subordinate suffered severe injuries, losing an eye. How tragic!
Whether it was Mr. Mo Ya or the superior, why were they all constrained by their own agendas?
The only consolation was the lack of enmity between the superior and Mr. Nong Mobai. If the situation mirrored Mr. Mo Ya's actions, not only would there be armed confrontations but also personal vendettas. It was too brutal, leaving both sides wounded and estranged in the end.
What am I mulling over? It's none of my concern. Why fret over it?
“Where's Mr. Mu Sizheng? Can you please have him take a call?” Mo Ya suddenly inquired.
“Well, there might not be another option. The boss just went after Mr. Nong Mobai. I'll have him ring you up later!”
“Okay.” He remained as affable as ever, ending the call thereafter.
“Phew, I nearly had a heart attack. Do you think I let something slip?”
No, it wasn't time to relax yet. The boss was furious earlier. Could he have harmed Mr. Nong Mobai?
The man scratched his head, troubled, unsure of what to do. Once again, Mu Sizheng's phone was in his possession.
Meanwhile, upstairs at the hotel, after Xiao Ming opened the door for Mu Sifa, he remarked, “Third brother said not to bring men to his room for any mischief in the future.”
“Got it, got it, his wife is back anyway!” Nong Mobai replied impatiently, evidently still irked by the recent events.
“It's good you understand, but try not to bring guests to the hotel often. Xiaoxiao is very concerned about you.”
“That girl hasn't changed a bit!” Nong Mobai chuckled dismissively, offering no further comment.
“Okay, I'm off. Remember to lock up when you leave later.”
Xiao Ming glanced around the room, issuing a brief admonition before departing.
“Got it, just like dealing with my mom.”
No, even my mother isn't as verbose as he is! Why did Xiaoxiao marry this guy? Was it out of childhood affection?
Nong Mobai sneered, finding it amusing. Though he wasn't sure why, it didn't seem like it was Mu Xiaoxiao or Xiao Ming who was laughing.
“Alright, once you have the key, head back!”
Nong Mobai entered the room lazily. However, at that moment, he felt a sudden darkness descend upon him. Before he could react, someone covered his mouth and flung him onto the bed.
