Chapter 335 - WHO IS BEHIND THIS
Mo Yuan entered the Presidential hotel room and saw Han Luo moving slightly. He stepped closer and sat on the bed. He embraced her warm body from behind and asked, "Did you just wake up?"
"Hmm." Han Luo slightly nodded her head.
Mo Yuan nuzzled his face on her head while saying, "It's already evening. Aren't you hungry?"
Han Luo denied, "Nope. I ate a lot last night, remember?"
"But, if you don't eat in time you won't gain more strength. You skipped your exercise too," he gently reminded her.
"I want to rest all day." Han Luo wanted to be spoiled for today. After she recovered, she kept being busy with work, exercise, study, and friends. She hardly had time for herself. She wanted to spend some quiet time.
"Fine, you can rest all you want." Mo Yuan agreed. He also noticed how exhausted she was. No matter how many times he told her to take a rest, she wouldn't listen. Since she willingly wanted to take a break, he would gladly grant her wish.
"Didn't you sleep? Where were you?" Han Luo asked. Her eyes were closed all the same.
Mo Yuan played with her hair when he answered, "I had some things to take care of."
She randomly questioned him, "What things?"
Mo Yuan hesitated at first and then told her, "Your friend was attacked." He didn't wish to hide things from her. He believed that she had the right to know.
Han Luo's eyes flew open. She turned around and faced him. "What do you mean? Which friend?"
"The one who lives with you." Mo Yuan didn't like to utter other women's names.
"What happened to Mian? Oh wait, is it last night's incident?" Han Luo caught up quickly.
"Yes. Apparently, Larry Smith sent some men after you but they attacked your friend."
"That guy again," Han Luo frowned in disdain. "The Smith Family cannot be offended at a time like this. I have yet to finish the task I've given. But, if I let him go just like this, my heart won't be able to find peace." Her heart was in chaos.
Mo Yuan coolly announced, "You don't have to worry about that. He is already in the hospital."
Han Luo's eyes widened in surprise. "How come?"
Mo Yuan described, "Today, he was flirting with a girl whose brother is a mafia leader. The mafia leader didn't let him go till he broke one-third of Larry's bones. It'll take several months for him to recover. He won't be able to get up from bed for a while."
"Maybe it's his destiny to stay in the hospital for the rest of his life," Han Luo smirked. "However, I feel like you are connected to this."
"I did nothing." Mo Yuan firmly denied. "Xiao Yujin arranged everything."
Han Luo narrowed her eyes and looked at him straight to the eyes. "Are you sure you did nothing?"
Mo Yuan tugged her hair behind her ear and confessed, "…Maybe a piece of idea."
"I knew it." Han Luo snickered.
"Are you satisfied?" Mo Yuan pinched her cheek while asking.
"Yes." Han Luo nodded. "He needed to learn some lessons although I find it hard to believe that he will change his character."
Mo Yuan spoke his mind, "He won't change his character that easily. You have to be wary of Larry Smith and Alex Jones. After you were in a coma, they tried to harm us multiple times thinking we were broken down because of your accident. Especially Alex."
He added, "Sheng Ming had the worst time. You know they are rivals in the basketball game. Before each tournament, Alex tried to harm Sheng Ming. In the end, we were tired of his schemes. We gathered evidence against him and then kicked him out of the game. After that, he was even more hostile."
Han Luo frowned. "What is wrong with Alex and Larry? Why are they after us?" She felt like she missed something and couldn't pinpoint what.
Mo Yuan replied, "They are evil. That's why they want to harm others. Unfortunately, we have to work with them in the future. Alex had already taken some projects in his father's company."
Han Luo remarked, "I find Alex sharper and smarter than Larry. He even found out that I was the ravishing bride in the magazine. Even if he spills this news now, it won't work anymore. I'm not in the modeling industry anymore and I have no interest in doing so in the future."
"He already exposed you in front of the media." Mo Yuan dropped the bomb.
"What?!" It was news for Han Luo. She knew nothing about it.
Mo Yuan explained, "At that time, he still didn't know that you were recovering. You could barely move your body then. The media nearly made our lives hell. In the end, Elder Tang and dad took some actions and sued those media companies. They didn't dare to do anything later.
"Dad investigated and found out that the culprit was Alex. He cut ties with the Jones Company even though President Jones tried hard to keep the relationship stable. President Jones was so angry at his son that he locked Alex in his room for two months. After that, Alex didn't go after us."
Han Luo stayed quiet for a while before saying, "So many things happened and yet no one of thought of mentioning that to me."
Mo Yuan gently coaxed her, "You were already having a hard time. You were doing your utmost to recover. Everyone lost hope that you couldn't move any longer but I believed in you. When you had your worst condition, how could we share such ill news to you?"
Han Luo could tell the rest of the story. "So, since Alex couldn't do anything, he used Larry to go after me. He patiently waited for me to recover and then attacked us. We can't let this slide. However, something is bugging me. There wasn't any strong animosity between us. Then why is he suddenly after us? It's right after Mary caused the accident."
She glanced at Mo Yuan and shared her theory, "Big brother Yuan, do you think somehow Mary is related to this?"
