Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration
Chapter 175 Who is Li Mo? 21
While Li Mo and Qin Baobao were chatting, an unexpected guest arrived at Li Mo's house. Li's mother greeted him and proudly introduced the house's magnificent splendor.
The man was in his twenties, with slightly furrowed brows, trying his best to suppress his anxiety.
"Auntie, is Li Mo here? I'm his colleague, Su Jie. I need to speak with him urgently, could you please have him come out right away?"
Seeing that the other person was so anxious that tears were about to come out, Li's mother reluctantly let him go.
They called a servant and took Su Jie to the basement.
In the basement, Li Mo heard a rapid knocking on the door. He frowned slightly, greeted Qin Baobao, and reluctantly opened the basement door a crack.
Li Mo was quite surprised to see Su Jie at the door.
The two had little interaction and could even be considered strangers. Su Jie had no reason to come to him.
Upon seeing Li Mo, Su Jie disregarded the presence of others and knelt down before him.
"Li Mo, please! Save my son."
Li Mo was startled by his actions, opened the door, and pulled him up from the ground.
"What happened? Let's talk this out. I'll definitely help if I can."
Li Mo waved for the servants to go back and invited Su Jie into the laboratory.
Su Jie was visibly taken aback when he saw Qin Baobao. It took him a while to recover and manage a weak greeting.
When Li Mo saw Su Jie staring blankly at Qin Baobao, looking dazed and dazed, Li Mo immediately felt a pang of jealousy.
Just as I was about to remind Su Jie, he suddenly came to his senses. His gaze was clear, and he showed no lewdness despite Qin Baobao's stunning beauty.
Li Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but was still somewhat displeased. It's said that one shouldn't covet a friend's wife, especially since Su Jie already had a son; it was even more impolite of him to stare at other girls like that.
"Speak your mind directly. She's my friend and I trust her."
Li Mo had thought that after saying those words, Qin Baobao would be moved by his trust and look at him with gratitude. Unexpectedly, Qin Baobao's expression was completely calm, and she didn't even look at him.
Li Mo was so angry he was practically tearing his hair out in his mind. He knew he shouldn't have let them in. What couldn't be said at the door?
Su Jie bent his knees and knelt on the ground again, saying, "My son has been kidnapped. The kidnappers just called, insisting that Young Master Wang come over. Even if I could get Young Master Wang to come, where am I supposed to find him right now?"
Li Mo was about to help the person up when he heard this, and his hands froze in mid-air.
It's Young Master Wang again! What's so great about this Young Master Wang? Why does everyone keep mentioning him? He's like a persistent ghost.
Li Mo calmly withdrew his hand and prepared to stand up.
Su Jie suddenly grabbed his hand, looked up at him, her face streaked with tears. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought Li Mo had done something to the other person.
"My son is only three years old! Please! Come with me to see him! I know this is a bit much to ask. But you killed Young Master Wang, and out of respect for you, that man might let my son go. Please! Without my son, my wife will break down."
Su Jie knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, while Li Mo remained bent over, frozen in place. Five seconds later, he seemed to regain consciousness and pulled Su Jie up.
"Tell me the whole story, and I'll try my best to help if I can."
“Here’s what happened: around 5 p.m., Xiaohui called me and said that her son hadn’t come home and she couldn’t contact him. The research institute has been relatively quiet lately, so I came home early. I followed the route my son took home from school and found the car that picked him up and the driver inside, but my son was nowhere to be found. Later, I received a call from the kidnappers, telling us not to call the police and to do as they said. They said that Young Master Li was already dead, and I had no other choice but to come here.”
Su Jie was about to kneel again, after all, this was a matter of life and death. He and the other party were not related, and Li Mo didn't need to get involved. After all, who wasn't born of parents?
This time, Li Mo didn't make him kneel down; instead, he reached out and pushed him back into the chair.
In modern society, people kneel all the time, and I didn't realize how weak his knees were when we first met. It really makes you wonder how someone who received the same modern education could become such a spineless person.
It's no exaggeration to say that "it's easy to kneel down."
Li Mo patted Su Jie on the shoulder; this was the first time Li Mo had encountered something like this. However, those involved are often blinded by their own emotions, and compared to Su Jie's confusion, Li Mo was quite rational.
"Let's skip the kneeling and kneeling. Let's discuss what to do next."
After discussing it, the two concluded that since this person was after Young Master Wang, he might let it go after hearing the news of Young Master Wang's death.
After all, the child had no grudge against the kidnappers; he was just caught in the crossfire.
With a simple plan in mind, Li Mo relaxed.
Su Jie's brow remained furrowed, his expression worried. After all, that was his son, and his anxiety wouldn't cease unless the child could stand safely before him. The child had never experienced anything like this before; he must be terrified.
Qin Baobao listened to their discussion the whole time.
This part wasn't described at all in the original storyline, and Qin Baobao couldn't tell whether it was due to her own butterfly effect or because this part was already in the original story. For the sake of Qi Yunzi's safety, Qin Baobao decided to go with them to rescue him.
"No! Those are vicious kidnappers. We can't even imagine what they might do."
"Li Mo is right. You should stay and wait for news. This is not something a young girl like you should get involved in."
Qin Baobao glanced at Su Jie with a strange expression. This person must know the original owner of the body and understand her quite well, even resorting to such a provocation.
"Really?" Qin Baobao said calmly, pulling out her trump card. "I'm the eldest daughter of the Huang family. I can usually send a few people over in situations like this. Are you sure... you don't need me to go?"
Su Jie's eyes lit up when he heard Qin Baobao's words. The eldest daughter of the Huang family was Wang Dashao's fiancée. At the critical moment, he could at least get his son back.
Su Jie looked at Li Mo, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Why don't we let Miss Huang come with us? In case we run into trouble, we can let her hide first."
"Even if you don't tell me, I can go by myself. Our Huang family has the ability." Qin Baobao proudly raised her chin, as if everyone in the Huang family listened to her, displaying the image of a proud little princess.
Su Jie kept his head down, not daring to look at her.
Looking at Qin Baobao like this, Li Mo's heart was pounding. His cheeks flushed slightly as he looked away, and he said awkwardly, "You...you should come with us! There's strength in numbers, and you can look out for each other."
At 8 p.m., a few people gathered in the suburbs.
The dim streetlights shone on the group of people, casting long shadows.
Su Jie looked at Qin Baobao, who had come alone, with surprise. "Miss Huang, where are the people you brought? Are they all hidden away?"
Qin Baobao glanced at him, smiled, and nodded.
This person has such a vivid imagination; Qin Baobao didn't even need to lie. Having someone to cooperate with makes things so much easier.
