Chapter 222 - In The Same Boat (2)

Su Xiaofei hadn't seen Lu Qingfeng the whole day, but they agreed to meet after her self defense class with Xi Qian that afternoon, so they could meet Lan Xiaoju.

Lu Qingfeng was waiting outside the self-defense school building when the two young women came out, feeling tired and sore. He invited them for dinner, but Xi Qian declined his invitation and asked him to drop her at home instead.

"Feifei, since when did you build such stamina?" Xi Qian asked while Nine drove the car to the apartment complex where Xi Qian currently resided. "I've already started complaining about sore muscles, but you managed to finish the first lesson without breaking a sweat."

"That's because I've been working out these days while waiting for you to get some free time. I guess it actually paid off." Su Xiaofei replied. "Don't worry, Qian. You'll get used to it soon, but maybe I should teach you how to warm up, so you won't feel as sore next time."

"Thanks, Feifei. Perhaps I should practice more." Xi Qian easily agreed to Su Xiaofei's offer.

It didn't take too long before they reached the apartment complex and Xi Qian bid goodbye to Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng.

Once she was out of sight, Su Xiaofei questioned Lu Qingfeng who had been silently working on his laptop while she and Xi Qian were conversing earlier.

"Where to now?"

"We're going to meet Lan Xiaoju. Don't worry. Nine already made some preparations ahead." Lu Qingfeng shut his laptop close and took a deep breath.

Su Xiaofei watched him from the corner of her eye and saw how tired he was. She suddenly felt guilty that she had caused him some problems.

"Did the Old Madam find out about it?" She asked.

"No. I had to discreetly notify Lan Xiaoju to meet us. The old woman is still trying to find him to this day." Lu Qingfeng replied.

It's been a week since the incident happened and Mo Yuan was now in better condition and his life was out of danger. Because neither her son nor Mo Yuchen had any idea what the old woman had done to Mo Yuan, she was also taking some precautionary measures not to be caught by them.

After an hour of driving, Nine pulled into a stop when they reached a hotel where the two were going to meet up with Lan Xiaoju. The Zhang Siblings joined Nine and their small party took the elevator with Lu Qingfeng and Su Xiaofei.

In one of the presidential suites, Lan Xiaoju was waiting nervously for their arrival. She was momentarily stunned when she saw Su Xiaofei.

"Miss Su?" She asked in disbelief. "You are the one who kidnapped my son?"

Lan Xiaoju was doing her rounds in the hospital the night she received the news that her son was involved in a car accident. She immediately rushed to check on Mo Yuan's condition, only to find out that he was missing.

His private bodyguards informed her that someone was after his young master's life, and he sneaked out and ran away, leaving them badly injured in the process.

"If you want to seek revenge on Mo Yuchen, leave my son out of it. He is innocent!" She exclaimed.

Su Xiaofei took a seat on the couch while Lu Qingfeng ordered the Zhang siblings to prepare drinks for Feifei and their elder guest before joining them.

"Relax, Madam. I won't hurt your son. In fact, we were the one who saved his life that night." Su Xiaofei replied, gauging the older woman's reaction.

"What… what do you mean?"

"Madam, you made a huge mistake. You should have known that Mo Yuan's life would be in danger if he came back home."

Lan Xiaoju froze at that, her eyes widening in understanding. Su Xiaofei only needed to say a few words, but she was able to point out who was the mastermind behind the attempt on her son's life. Maybe this young woman was right, Mo Yuan was safer away from home, but Lan Xiaoju couldn't simply let Mo Yuchen inherit everything.

"H-how is he?" Before anything else, she needed to know her son's condition.

"Good. We managed to save him just in time. He was in a critical condition for the first three days because of blood loss, but he's recovering well now." Su Xiaofei answered.

"Then, what does Miss Su want from me this time?" Lan Xiaoju wasn't that dumb. If Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng saved her son's life, they must have something they wanted from her.

"Fifty million and we will return your son to you." The younger woman smiled wickedly, not bothering to hide the amusement in her eyes.

"And if I don't?"

"Well, I suppose the Old Madam is still looking for him at this very moment, right? She wasn't able to finish him the first time, but that didn't mean she won't dare to harm him again."

Lan Xiaoju clenched her fists on her sides. So Su Xiaofei was willing to drop her son anywhere where the Old Madam could find him?

Fifty million was a hefty amount of money even for a person like her, but her son's life was more important than her life savings.

It had been the carelessness on her part that put Mo Yuan's life in danger. She had truly underestimated her mother-in-law, as she never thought that Old Madam Mo was willing to get rid of her other grandson in order to pave the way for Mo Yuchen's future.

Lan Xiaoju finally understood why Su Xiaofei had forcibly annulled her engagement with Mo Yuchen. She might have known the kind of life she would have if she joined the Mo family. She had never thought that a young woman as Su Xiaofei could already be this scheming at her young age.

Lan Xiaoju then felt that this young woman was more dangerous than the old woman waiting for her at home.
