Chapter 411 You're Lucky
Dusk, like thick ink, gradually permeated the entire city. Mo Tianci stood in the shadows at the elementary school entrance, his brow furrowed. Although he was quickly stopped by the security guard and himself, his unusual behavior made him smell danger. The situation was urgent, and without hesitation, Mo Tianci swiped his finger across the screen of his phone and dialed Mo Wanting's number.
At this moment, Fu Sihan and I were sitting on the sofa in the living room. I was holding a cup of hot tea in my hand, and the steam rising from it blurred my vision. Fu Sihan was focused on browsing documents beside me.
Fu Sihan was the first to notice the movement of the phone. He put down the documents in his hand and leaned forward to pick up the phone. The two words "Tianci" on the screen were particularly eye-catching under the light. Out of caution, he did not answer the call immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Mo Wanting with a questioning look in his eyes. Mo Wanting was also confused. She put down her teacup and reached out to take the phone. As soon as the call was connected, she heard Mo Tianci's anxious voice like a tide: "Wanting, you and Sihan come to the elementary school right now! There are two people here pretending to be relatives of the children. Their behavior is very suspicious. I think they are coming for the children!"
Mo Wanting's face instantly turned pale as paper. The hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and even the fingertips lost their color. "Dad, we'll be there soon!" Her voice trembled slightly. After hanging up the phone, she looked at Fu Sihan anxiously, "Sihan, let's go to school quickly. Someone is impersonating us and wants to take our child away."
Fu Sihan's eyes instantly turned cold, and the air pressure around him dropped. Without hesitation, he grabbed Mo Wanting's wrist and strode towards the garage. The luxury car's engine roared deeply as it sprinted out of the villa like a black cheetah. Streetlights lining the street flashed past the car window, creating blurry streaks of light and shadow. But Mo Wanting and Fu Sihan had no time to appreciate them; their only concern was their child's safety.
"Calm down, Wanting." Fu Sihan kept his eyes fixed on the road as he reached out and held Mo Wanting's trembling hand, trying to convey strength. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself, but my mind kept replaying images of my child in danger, and my heart tightened even more.
On the other side, after Mo Tianci hung up the phone, Lin Youyou didn't dare to linger, so she said, "My grandmother won't bother with you." After saying that, she wanted to leave in a hurry. At this time, the man also wanted to leave secretly, and the security guard hurried to stop him.
The man was tall, and when the security guard reached out to stop him, a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes. He suddenly exerted force and punched the security guard hard on the shoulder. The security guard stumbled back a few steps and almost fell, but he still held on and tried to stop the man again. Lin Youyou heard the movement and glanced back, his eyes showing panic, and quickened his pace.
Mo Tianci, perceptive enough to sense something was amiss, shouted, "Stop!" He then rushed forward, grabbing Lin Youyou's arm. Lin Youyou screamed and struggled desperately, "You old bastard, you're crazy! Let me go!" At the same moment, the man turned and lunged at Mo Tianci, and the two grappled. Despite his relatively frail frame, Mo Tianci's gaze remained resolute, undaunted. With his agility, he navigated the man.
Lin Youyou was secretly rejoicing, and when Mo Tianci and the man were tussling, she crouched down and prepared to run away. Just as she stepped out of the shadows, Fu Muze, Fu Mukai, and Fu Yitian suddenly appeared from the ground and blocked her way.
"Where are you going?" Fu Muzhe crossed his arms across his chest. Although he was only ten years old, he felt an unquestionable sense of oppression in his bones.
Lin Youyou's eyes rolled around, and a smile quickly appeared on her face. "Oh, Mu Ze, Mu Kai, Yi Tian, I really am your grandmother. Look, I'm scared by you. I need to go out for some fresh air."
Fu Mukai took a half step forward, but her small body was like a wall, preventing her from moving. Ten-year-old Fu Muze's eyes were as bright as a torch, not at all fooled by her lies: "Grandma? You looked so panicked, and just now you were trying to sneak away. How could a grandma be like this?" Fu Yitian, who was standing beside her, blinked her bright eyes, seemingly innocent, but her tone was shrewd: "Auntie Youyou, although you dressed up as an old lady, your tattoos betray you."
The smile on Lin Youyou's face froze instantly, and she subconsciously pulled at her sleeve, trying to hide the faintly visible tattoo on her wrist. Fu Muze caught her subtle movement, took a step forward, and shot at Lin Youyou with a gaze like a sword: "Auntie, it seems we guessed right. You are not a grandmother at all. What are your intentions?"
Lin Youyou panicked, but pretended to be calm and said in a sharp voice: "What does a kid know! I got this tattoo when I was young and ignorant. What does it have to do with you? I just want to go out for some fresh air. Don't mess around here!" As she said that, she pushed Fu Mu away with force and tried to rush out.
Fu Mukai was prepared, nimbly dodging to the side. Lin Youyou stumbled and nearly fell. At that moment, the fight between Mo Tianci and the man reached a fever pitch. The man swung a powerful punch at Mo Tianci, and Mo Tianci was unable to dodge, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. But he didn't retreat. Instead, he took advantage of the man's unstable center of gravity and tripped him with a sweeping kick.
While everyone's attention was focused on the fight between Mo Tianci and the man, Lin Youyou crouched down and, like a frightened mouse, scurried along the wall. Her high heels tapped the ground with a rapid "tapping" sound, and she quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Lin Youyou plunged into the dilapidated house, slamming the rickety wooden door behind her. A lingering odor of decay permeated the air. Moonlight streamed in through the shattered windows, casting an eerie silver veil over the entire place. Panting rapidly, her hands trembling as she untied her wig, her long, smooth brown hair cascading down. Then, she ripped off the wrinkled mask, revealing a face that was both vibrant and beautiful, yet tinged with a hint of cruelty.
Lin Youyou bit her lower lip fiercely, her nails practically digging into her palms. "Damn it! I missed this time!" She cursed under her breath as she quickly shed her loose, worn coat, revealing a tight-fitting black combat uniform. A tactical belt hung around her waist, festooned with tools, and a dagger gleamed coldly, as if telling of her past sins.
Lin Youyou knew Mo Tianci and the others wouldn't give up. Time was running out, so she had to evacuate quickly. She quickly walked to the corner of the house and lifted a worn carpet, revealing a hidden compartment. She pulled out a small metal box and opened it, revealing a brand new cell phone and a wad of cash. She quickly grabbed the phone and cash and left the dilapidated house.
"Mo Wanting, you're lucky this time, but the game isn't over yet," she muttered to herself into the darkness, her voice filled with venom. Moonlight filtered through the mottled leaves, casting a crisscross of light and dark shadows on her face, accentuating the sinister look in her eyes.
