After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 669 - 667: Was He Schemed Against by His Own Family?

Chapter 669: Chapter 667: Was He Schemed Against by His Own Family?

"He was an excellent swimmer, so even if he were trapped and sank into the river, as long as he handled it right, there was a possibility of rescue.

Furthermore, he knew some of the rivers near the Shangjing Circle, so if someone wanted to dispose of a body, they would definitely find a secluded spot.

As far as he knew, there were only two secluded rivers.

Neither river was particularly deep, and the flow wasn’t too fast, so his chances of surviving increased even more!

The guard, of course, had no idea about Xiao Mo’s thoughts.

Right now, he just felt unlucky to be stuck with such a mess.

With a sigh of resignation, he went ahead and let Xiao Mo down, since he was already bound anyway, so the guard didn’t think to tie him up any further.

He just hoisted him carelessly and placed him in the trunk of the car.

He found a bag, filled it with stones, and tied it to Xiao Mo’s feet, ensuring that even if he suddenly woke up when thrown into the water, he couldn’t climb ashore.

Thinking this, the guard relaxed quite a bit.

He took a deep breath, stood outside the car, and took several puffs of his cigarette before finally getting into the car and driving towards the river.

What the guard didn’t know was that, in the time it took him to smoke and start driving, Xiao Mo, lying in the trunk, had found a relatively sharp object and almost completely severed the ropes around his wrists.

The moment he was thrown into the water, he would be able to cut the ropes off his wrists in the next second.

As for the rope tied to his feet, he had stealthily modified it to a slipknot.

Now, he was just waiting for the guard to throw him into the water.

He lay there in the trunk for a long while before he finally felt himself being hoisted up again.

Xiao Mo dared not breathe too heavily.

Fortunately, it was already dark outside, and it was nearly impossible to see anything, allowing him to stealthily open his eyes and take stock of his surroundings.

As he had predicted, the man wanted to throw him into the nearby river.

The area was remote with few people around, so no discovery was likely.

Soon, the guard carried him to the riverbank and without any hesitation, threw Xiao Mo along with the bag of stones straight into the water.

Seeing bubbles emerging from the river and then silence followed.

The guard didn’t dare stay long and drove away.

Not until the rumbling sound of the car disappeared by the river did Xiao Mo clumsily crawl up to the riverbank.

Although the early spring weather had warmed up considerably, the temperature was still bone-chillingly cold without sunlight,

especially for Xiao Mo, who was soaking wet from the river.

He gritted his teeth in anger, knowing that if the guard hadn’t left quickly, he would have been frozen to death if not drowned.

Shivering, Xiao Mo came ashore and picked up some tattered items along the road to wrap around himself before hastily walking onto the highway.

Although this was a suburban area, cars occasionally passed.

He had no money now, nor a phone to notify the Xiao Family to come find him.

But he figured if he encountered passersby, they might be willing to call the police.

As Xiao Mo walked, he pondered the recent events.

Although he didn’t know why that woman named Feng Ya Meizi wanted him dead, the fact that he had vanished for several days and yet no one had looked for him puzzled him deeply.

He had been kidnapped from downtown and brought here, and with the current capabilities of Heavenly Eye, he should have been found quickly."

Several days had passed, and not only had no one rescued him, but he had almost been drowned in a lake...

Could it be that he had been set up by his own family?

Xiao Mo thought back to how Xia Wenjin had been killed abroad by Xiao Jinglan, and how the matter had just faded away.

Could it be Xiao Jinglan again?

As Xiao Mo thought this, he immediately shook his head. Impossible, he was her only son—the last thing Xiao Jinglan would do, even if it meant her own death, was let him die.

But it had been so long, and no one had come for him; something must have gone wrong.

Xiao Mo took a deep breath and decided to keep the peace for now.

Fortunately, Xiao Mo was rather lucky. After walking for hours and nearly freezing, he finally managed to hail a car.

Twenty minutes later, he was lucky enough to be dropped off at a police station.

Because he harbored doubts about the Xiao Family, when Xiao Mo asked the police to inform Xiao Jinglan, he did not tell her his real name but instead used the name of his foster father.

Although Xiao Jinglan was suspicious of how that man would appear at the police station, she rushed there immediately.

But she had not expected that she would find Xiao Mo at the police station!

"Amo, what happened to you? How did you get so thin?" Xiao Jinglan touched Xiao Mo’s cheek with heartache and bit her teeth in anger, "I told you, those little temptresses are no good, yet you insisted on mingling with them. Now you see the consequences!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

As soon as Xiao Jinglan spoke, not only was Xiao Mo left speechless, but even the police officers found it awkward.

With a bit of a headache, Xiao Mo pressed his temples and apologetically nodded to the two officers before saying, "Sorry, there’s something I need to discuss privately with my mother. Please excuse us."

Seeing that Xiao Mo was okay, the officers nodded back at him and left.

Narrowing his eyes, Xiao Mo scrutinized Xiao Jinglan carefully before asking, "What did you just say I’ve been doing these past few days?"

Xiao Jinglan raised her eyebrows and grumbled discontentedly, "Apart from going to work, you’ve been fooling around with that little temptress. What do you mean, what have you been doing?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Xiao Mo was slightly startled, "You say I’ve been going to work these days?"

Xiao Jinglan nodded and noticing the odd expression on Xiao Mo’s face, she muttered, "Have you lost your memory? Or are you just playing a joke on me?"

She grew angrier as she spoke, "I’ve been trying to discuss something with you these past few days, and you’ve been avoiding me fast. But when those little temptresses call you, you just disappear!"

It was only because she had met Feng Xiran that she felt so anxious.

Yet, this damn boy didn’t care about his old mother’s feelings and insisted on leaving her to pamper those little temptresses.

Just look at him now, likely tricked by one of those little temptresses.

And seeing his miserable state, he was nearly drained dry by them.

Xiao Jinglan was both angry and heartbroken, eventually sighing helplessly, "In the future, you can have your fun, but take care of your health."

Xiao Mo’s face grew even more unsightly.

He had always thought that Xiao Jinglan had not reported him missing because someone had treated his disappearance as a business trip. But he was completely taken aback by what Xiao Jinglan said.

During the days of his disappearance, "he" had still been going to work on time?

No wonder it hadn’t aroused anyone’s suspicion.

As Xiao Jinglan continued to complain beside him, Xiao Mo’s eyes narrowed slightly before he asked again, "When was the last time we met?"

Xiao Jinglan glanced at Xiao Mo. "Wasn’t it just yesterday? I had something to discuss with you, but there you were, wrapping your arms around that wicked woman and just walking away! I can’t even see what you find in her..."
