Chapter 415: Related to It
Xing Meng choked on Mo Zhu’s words. She raised her hand and pinched the space between her eyebrows with a headache. Her tone carried a hint of helplessness as she said, “Mo Zhu, although you’re not a young lady from a big family, once this biological weapon is released, the entire world can’t avoid a disaster. Even if you have extraordinary abilities and can temporarily dodge it, you definitely can’t hide for the rest of your life. Instead of sitting here and waiting for death, why don’t you cooperate with the Xing family and take the initiative to attack?”
Mo Zhu waved her hand and refused with disinterest. “Why should I go with you? If they are really threatening to me, I have my own ways to investigate these things. Why should I use the Xing family?”
After being reminded by Mo Zhu, Xing Meng immediately lowered her eyes and pondered over the reason to persuade Mo Zhu. After a while, she seemed to have thought of something and looked up at the girl. “Mo Zhu, you can ignore the lives of others or choose to ignore these schemes, but aren’t you curious about the Guan Yin statue your grandmother left for you?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Zhu’s pupils suddenly constricted, and a cold glint instantly flashed across her eyes. She asked Xing Meng unhappily, “Where did you find out about the Guan Yin statue? What else do you know?”
Seeing that Mo Zhu was indeed interested in this matter, Xing Meng raised her eyebrows and explained in a low voice, “The current master of the Xing family is my grandfather. Your grandmother and he are old friends. He was the one who told me about this. He wanted me to talk to you personally because he wanted to help you find out the truth.”!!
Sensing that Mo Zhu’s thoughts were wavering, Xing Meng pursed her lips and added, “Of course, words are useless without proof. If you want to know more, I’ll bring you to the Xing family to have a good talk with my grandfather when we return to Beijing. My grandfather is very sincere about our cooperation and he will definitely tell you everything he knows!”
Just as she finished speaking, she noticed that many people who were interested in the two of them had come over one after another. Xing Meng lowered her eyes and coughed twice. “Think about my suggestion just now. Give me an answer anytime after you’ve thought it through!”
After saying this, Xing Meng pretended that nothing had happened and looked around. She turned around and walked into the crowd, looking for her familiar friends to chat with.
Mo Zhu watched the girl leave and knocked her fingers on the table beside her where the wine glasses were placed. She pondered for a while before turning around and going to Meng Ran’s table.
After tasting the dishes on the table briefly, she could not tell if they were delicious or not. Mo Zhu casually ate two mouthfuls and started playing with her phone in her seat.
After the gathering ended, Huo Xuan sent a message saying that his car was parked at the entrance of the hotel waiting for her to come out.
In the crowd, she found Li Xiao and Luo Nan, who were leading the team and preparing to book a car to return to the hotel. Mo Zhu told the two of them that she would not be following the main group tonight.
Since Mo Zhu had made such a request personally, the two of them naturally did not dare to reject her. After reminding the girl to be careful in the foreign country, they let her leave.
After receiving the teacher’s approval, just as Mo Zhu was about to walk towards the door, Zhang Qi suddenly ran over with an anxious expression and said in a panic, “Sister Mo, Sister Mo, something bad has happened. Meng Ran is missing!”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she frowned and asked, “What’s going on? Where did she go?”
Zhang Qi held his knees and panted heavily. His voice was a little hoarse. “Just now, after eating in the private room, she gave me her backpack and asked me to wait for her at the door. She said that she would catch up to us after going to the washroom first. In the end, nearly half an hour had passed. The teachers have roll called and everyone is present except for her, but she didn’t appear!”
Patting Zhang Qi’s shoulder comfortingly, Mo Zhu said in a low voice, “Don’t worry. Which washroom did she go to? Bring me there to take a look!”
Upon hearing that Meng Ran had disappeared silently for half an hour, a bad feeling welled up in Mo Zhu’s heart. She suppressed her chaotic emotions and followed Zhang Qi towards the washroom.
