377: Audacious

Audacious

When Mo Zhu heard this, her pupils suddenly constricted and her expression turned grave. She said in a low voice, "This matter isn't that simple. The mastermind is most likely not someone from the Kang family or the Cheng family. With just them? They don't have such ability."1

After a pause, a cold glint flashed across her eyes as she continued, "The mysterious person who is hiding behind the scenes and controlling all of this is hiding very well. Although I don't know what his motive is, by cooperating with these two families, there must be countless connections between them. As long as we keep a close eye on the Kang family and the Cheng family, we don't have to worry about not finding a chance to break out of this situation!"

Cheng Yi nodded in agreement. After being reminded by Mo Zhu, he instantly had a gist of many things that he did not understand previously. He said in a low voice, "Alright, I'll report this matter first. I'll inform you in time if there's any follow-up!"

After saying this, he heard Mo Zhu acknowledge softly and Cheng Yi hung up the phone neatly.

When she heard the beeping sound of the phone being hung up, Mo Zhu turned off her phone screen and gently placed it on her lap. She looked out the window thoughtfully, deep in thought.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. A careful female voice came from outside. "Ms. Mo, are you awake? I've already made new food. If you're awake, I'll send it in for you."

Upon hearing this cautious and delicate voice, she thought that the person who came might be the nanny who Chen Man had asked to cook for her just now. Mo Zhu replied lightly, "Come in."

After receiving Mo Zhu's approval, the young nanny tiptoed and pushed the door open. She placed the tray of food on the bedside table and the little girl stood by the bed with her head slightly lowered. She said with her head lowered, "Ms. Mo, time is tight. I only had time to cook porridge and make two dishes. Try it and see if it suits your taste. If you're not used to it, I'll take it down and cook it for you again."

Looking at the little girl in front of her who was about the same age as her who looked so cautious, Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows with interest and asked in a low voice, "What's your name? If you want to talk, just talk. Why are you trembling? Do I look very scary?"

Upon hearing Mo Zhu's words, the little girl immediately trembled even more violently. She quickly looked up at Mo Zhu and lowered her head even more. "I… I'm Xiao Qi. Ms. Mo, you, you're very good-looking. I'm not afraid…"

Although she said that, Mo Zhu usually looked like she did not want anyone to approach her. The cold aura on her body was also very powerful. Now that there was no one else in the room, this cold aura suppressed the young nanny until the point that she could not breathe.

Mo Zhu nodded and gently picked up the porridge that was just the right temperature from the tray. She scooped a spoonful and took a sip before nodding in satisfaction. "Not bad, your cooking is quite good."

Just as she finished speaking, the young nanny could not help but have a long sigh of relief in front of Mo Zhu.

Seeing this, Mo Zhu frowned slightly and continued asking, "Why? Are you very afraid of me?"

The young nanny's eyes widened in shock. She seemed to have thought of something and her eyes instantly turned red. She replied with a sobbing tone, "Ms. Mo, no, I'm not afraid of you…"

Perhaps thinking that this explanation was too light and unconvincing, she sniffled and stole a glance at Mo Zhu before continuing, "It, it was Young Master Xu who specially reminded me that you have a strange temper and are especially difficult to get along with. He even said that there are many things that you don't like. If anyone makes you unhappy, hang them up and whip them before scalding them with hot oil!"

"So, so I…"
