Chapter 83: A Kidnapping?

Elder Mo then deferred to Mo Li since technically the Lin Family was here for her. Mo Li said conclusively, “I agree with you, grandpa. People can’t just come and leave this place as they please.”

When Mo Li said that, Lin Yang’s intention of having Mo Li be his daughter-in-law became more determined. He admired the girl’s bravery and brain. Since he walked into the door, Mo Li had shown no fear of him!

Even Lin Mu was impressed by Mo Li. Even his father was unable to scare Mo Li, if anything, she had fought him back on equal ground.

Elder Mo and Old Madam Mo nodded with satisfaction. They were very impressed by how Mo Li handled this altercation. Elder Mo didn’t say anything until the last moment, and from his perspective, Mo Li had truly grown up. Her mind was clear and rational, plus she was exceptionally calm and driven. If this was someone else, they would be flustered already. On top of that, the opponent she had to deal with was Lin Yang!

Lin Yang broke into a smile and said apologetically, “This is my mistake this time. Please forgive me.” Then he turned to Elder Mo, “In fact, Elder Mo, do you mind giving me a private moment with you? I wish to talk to you about Lin Family’s apology…”

Lin Yang told Lin Mu to be obedient before he followed Elder Mo into the study.

Strangely enough, when they came out, Elder Mo looked gloomy but Lin Yang smiled even brighter. After sending Lin Yang and Lin Mu away, Mo Yu instantly pestered his grandfather about what had transpired inside the study. Elder Mo refused to say anything about it.

Soon the news of Lin Family coming to visit Mo Family spread through the upper echelon of Pearl River City. For some reasons, the rumors became that the Lin Family and the Mo Family were coming together to discuss possible marriage between their children.

Back at the school, everyone knew that Mo Li was the candidate for the upcoming national IMO. So temporarily no one dared to find trouble with her, for fear of earning the board’s ire. This finally gave Mo Li some peace and quiet.

In terms of her movie venture, Mo Li only mentioned it to Lin Fei. Speaking of which, Lin Fei’s reaction was curious when she was told. She was neither happy nor sad… Mo Li didn’t care about it though.

After finishing her assignment with the professor, Mo Li was supposed to go home with her driver but she was suddenly told that the driver’s car broke down, so she would have to wait for Mo Yi to come fetch her. Mo Li didn’t want to trouble her father so she decided to take the bus. After all, she hadn’t taken public transport for a very long time already. Lin Fei offered to accompany her but since she lived on the opposite side of the city compared to Elder Mo’s home, Lin Fei would have to take double trips. Considering that, Mo Li rejected her offer.

Elder Mo’s villa was built at the countryside because the fresh air would help with their retirement. However, it also meant that the place was quite far from the bus stop. After Mo Li got down from the bus, she had to walk for another 20 minutes before she could get home. The journey home was nice, there were trees everywhere and many well-pruned bushes.

To the left, there was a small park with all the amenities, it was one of the facilities for the villa occupants. The park was built about 10 minutes walk away from the houses so the noises wouldn’t disturb the residents. However, due to the cold weather and the time of the day, there was no one around. Even in the daylight, the trees and shrubs looked quite sinister, much less when it was approaching late afternoon.

This was the first time Mo Li walked home and the surrounding aura felt weird. She chuckled self-deprecatingly. Being a woman of science, how could she be afraid of the supernatural?

But she only took a few steps when she noticed figures trailing behind her. She frowned. There were two people following closely behind her.

Mo Li’s gaze turned cautious, and she silently quickened her pace. The people behind her did the same.

Mo Li took a few deep breaths to calm down. She knew some fighting skills but while she could handle brats, she could not handle professional fighters. She didn’t have much time to train after she transmigrated into this Mo Li’s body.

When she was at Elder Mo’s home, Elder Mo did warn her of the danger walking home alone but she never expected for it to happen to her. As the footsteps approached, Mo Li silently reached her hand into her bag.

The next second, the two men charged at Mo Li. Then a thick arm grabbed at Mo Li’s waist. Mo Li danced away with grace. She turned to face 2 men around 30s. They wore yellowed tattered shirts which exposed their muscular arms. They reeked of old sweat. Mo Li studied the two and quietly calculated the rate of her survival in her mind.

“Don’t come any closer, I’ve called the police!” Mo Li warned as she slowly backed away.

The two men looked at each other and said with a lecherous smile, “Little beauty, we’ve been following you for a long time, we would know if you have called the cops.” The taller among the two reached out his paws towards Mo Li again.

Seeing that her threats were ineffective, Mo Li took advantage of the man’s confident approach, and kicked him in the gonads. The man’s face scrunched up from intense pain. He bent over to guard his crotch and then roared at his partner, “What are you doing standing there? Grab her! I’m going to make her pay!”

The other man learned the lesson from his partner. He approached Mo Li with more caution. At the same time, he didn’t forget to tease his companion. “I’m surprised you’d have this day coming. When we’re done remember to get that girl to compensate you for the medical bill or you might end up being a eunuch.” Then he turned his salacious smile back to Mo Li, “Now little beauty, I love a girl who puts up a fight. You’re just getting my gears grinding.”

Mo Li swiftly captured the key terms. ‘Compensate’, ‘the girl’, looks like this was the doing of someone she had offended.
