Lu Ning's pupils contracted when she saw Mo Shiyi outside the elevator.

I didn't expect the Mo family to arrive so quickly.

It's clear that Mo Shiyi is very worried about her mother, but she lost both her parents when she was very young because of the Mo family.

Lu Ning spoke up first: "Miss Mo, I heard your mother went missing. Has she been found yet?"

Upon hearing these words, Mo Shiyi gritted her teeth inwardly but ignored Lu Ning.

Mo Shiyi stepped forward and looked at Ji Chiqian nervously: "Aunt Ji has already assigned people to me. Come with me to look for them. You are the only person I can rely on now."

Ji Chiqian turned his head to look at Lu Ning: "I'll take you back to school first."

Mo Shiyi stepped forward and took Ji Chiqian's hand: "Ji, my mother has disappeared. I don't know what's going on. I'm very scared. Can you stay with me?"

Lu Ning saw the worry on Mo Shiyi's face and the tears in her eyes.

She felt inexplicably guilty.

After all, Madam Mo was kidnapped by them and is still in their hands.

Lu Ning glanced at Ji Chiqian: "Why don't you go with Miss Mo to look for someone first?"

If Ji Chiqian were here, he might be able to keep an eye on things and prevent anything from being exposed.

But Ji Chiqian dodged Mo Shiyi's hand and stepped forward to pull Lu Ning out of the elevator.

Lu Ning glanced at the man beside her, then couldn't help but turn to look at Mo Shiyi, only to meet a pair of eyes filled with resentment.

Mo Shiyi shouted from behind, "Aji, are you going to abandon me at a time like this?"

Mo Shiyi was devastated. She never expected that Ji Chiqian would actually protect that bitch Lu Ning at a time like this.

Lu Ning was just going back to school, but her mother is missing!

Is her mother's situation less important than that bitch Lu Ning?

Lu Ning walked to the car and glanced at Ji Chiqian: "If you don't go, won't it seem a bit deliberate?"

The relationship between the Ji family and the Mo family is still good. Although the engagement has not been renewed, the relationship remains the same.

Ji Chiqian looked at her with a frustrated expression: "Do you really want me to go with her that much?"

"That was not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?"

Ji Chiqian lowered his head, his gaze falling on her face: "My relationship with her isn't as good as you think. Don't push me onto her."

It's just that his mother and Mo Shiyi's mother have a good relationship, which is why the two families have so many interactions.

Lu Ning then realized what was wrong with him and said in a low voice, "I didn't push you to her."

He pursed his thin lips coldly: "Then what did you mean by what you just said?"

Lu Ning reached out and tugged at his sleeve: "I'm worried that the Mo family will become suspicious. If you go with her, you can find out what the Mo family's arrangements are and test whether they know about Boss Qin's matter."

"You want me to use my good looks?"

Lu Ning said in a low voice, "Your mother has already come to look for someone. It wouldn't be right for you not to show up, and it would make things difficult for your mother. Madam Mo is her best friend after all, so just give her some face."

Ji Chiqian glanced at her hand before speaking calmly, "Alright, I'll go over first, and I'll have your driver take you back to school."

"No, I can just go back by myself."

"No."

Ji Chiqian frowned, clearly disagreeing.

Lu Ning had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After she got into the car, she watched as Ji Chiqian turned and walked towards Mo Shiyi, and she saw Mo Shiyi's delighted smile.

Looking at Mo Shiyi's expression, Lu Ning recalled what Madam Mo had said: that her parents' death in the car accident was entirely their own bad luck!

How ridiculous.

So, Mo Shiyi, your Mo family members will have to start paying the price from now on.

Only after the vehicle drove away did Ji Chiqian turn his gaze away.

Mo Shiyi was almost in tears at this moment; she had never been so humiliated.

She quickly composed herself and said pitifully, "Aji, your mother has arranged so many people for me, but I'm still scared. Will you come with me?"

Ji Chiqian pulled his hand back, his tone indifferent: "Why did your mother disappear?"

“I don’t know either. They haven’t called to demand a ransom. I heard my mother disappeared from a beauty salon here. But we haven’t found any clues about where she left. I guess they might still be hiding here and haven’t dared to leave.”

Ji Chiqian thought about it for a moment and then came up with an idea.

He went upstairs with Mo Shiyi, and the people he had arranged had already begun searching for him.

When Mo Shiyi saw the Mo family members, she quickly ran over to ask what was going on.

Ji Chiqian took out his phone and sent a message to Li Man. Now it was his turn to test the Mo family.

He wanted to know why Madam Mo had made those arrangements in the first place.

Soon, Mo Shiyi received a message from the kidnappers. She was terrified and rushed to Ji Chiqian: "Ji, the kidnappers have sent a message."

"What did the kidnappers say?"

“The kidnappers said my mother owed them money, and that they did something for her more than ten years ago, but she went back on her word and refused to pay.”

Ji Chiqian raised an eyebrow: "What did your mother do more than ten years ago?"

"How would I know? My dad will be here later, maybe he knows about this."

Mo Shiyi trembled with fear: "Aji, do you think my mother will be in trouble?"

"If your mother hasn't done anything wrong, of course nothing will happen to her."

Ji Chiqian looked at Mo Shiyi with a scrutinizing gaze.

Mo Shiyi didn't dare to look Ji Chiqian in the eye. She wasn't entirely sure either, but she certainly couldn't admit it in front of Ji Chiqian.

No matter what wrong her mother did, it was definitely for the good of the Mo family.

Mo Shiyi quickly said, "Aji, my mother isn't that kind of person. She's usually very popular and would never have any conflicts with others."

Ji Chiqian's eyes turned cold: "Then we'll talk about it when your father arrives. Otherwise, how can we find out who kidnapped your mother?"

“Ah Ji, even if my father came, he probably wouldn’t be as useful as the people on your side. Send more people to search. I believe there’s no one the Ji family can’t find.”

Mo Shiyi's only hope right now is Ji Chiqian.

"Blindly searching like this will not yield any clues at all."

When Ji Chiqian saw Mo Shiyi's father approaching, he went straight over and asked, "Who did you offend more than ten years ago? Whom did you owe money?"

Mo Dawei's expression was somewhat unnatural: "More than ten years ago, who would remember so much? I think they just want money, just give them the money."

Ji Chiqian glanced at Mo Dawei: "Then let's wait for them to contact us."

Mo Shiyi asked, "Dad, should we call the police?"

"Can't call the police!"

Mo Dawei rejected the proposal outright. If the police found out about what happened back then, the Mo family would also be implicated.

Mo Shiyi knew there must be more to the story when she saw this.

She quickly pulled Mo Dawei aside and whispered, "Dad, what happened? How could Mom be kidnapped?"

Mo Dawei hesitated, glancing furtively at Ji Chiqian, feeling incredibly guilty.

Mo Dawei lowered his voice: "Ji Chiqian must never find out about this, or the Mo family will be finished."

Mo Shiyi was stunned, feeling a little flustered. What was going on?
