Chapter 279: Put Herself in Harm’s Way

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Meet, or don’t meet?

Mother Wu clutched her phone tightly and thought about the assistant’s words. The scales in her heart started to tilt.

She wanted to meet the assistant who had helped her. Perhaps she could ask the bodyguard to follow her secretly and try not to let the assistant see.

She made up her mind and went out with the thermos.

When Mother Wu walked to the entrance of the villa, she passed the thermos to the bodyguard who followed her out and secretly whispered to him.

The bodyguard’s expression turned ugly. He immediately rejected Mother Wu’s suggestion. “Madam, this won’t do. It’s too dangerous.”

“It’s not dangerous. Just keep your eyes on me.” Mother Wu was very unhappy with the bodyguard’s rejection. She confidently pushed the bodyguard away and walked around the car.

She felt that she would be able to do such a small thing effortlessly, and she would be able to do it well.

Without Wu Mei around, no one could persuade Mother Wu.

The chauffeur also noticed Mother Wu leaving alone. He got out of the car and was about to stop her when suddenly, a child ran over and fell beside him.

The little kid sniffled in pain and started crying pitifully.

As the chauffeur was busy helping the child up, the bodyguard was blocked by a car that suddenly appeared.

A mother ran over and held the child’s hand. After thanking the chauffeur, she lectured the child as they walked forward.

The car that blocked the bodyguard seemed to have broken down. After a few tries, it started up again and the driver drove away slowly.

The bodyguard saw Mother Wu walk to a corner and his face immediately darkened. He said anxiously to the chauffeur, “They did it on purpose. You can’t let them leave.”

As these two events had happened too coincidentally, they appeared abnormal.

As the chauffeur immediately contacted the butler, he stopped the car that almost hit the bodyguard, as well as the mother who was about to leave with the child.

If they had deliberately created an accident, none of them could escape.

A few minutes later, the bodyguard returned and informed Li Nanchen and Wu Mei over the phone.

Mother Wu was gone.

Someone must have lied to her and taken her away with a false excuse.

This man was probably the wanted criminal, Wu Pang.

Just as the Li Family’s villa was in chaos, Mother Wu was trembling in the backseat of a car.

She asked in a quavering voice, “You’re making it worse, Wu Pang. You know that?”

“Where did you hide that child? Tell me quickly.”

She recognized that the suit on Wu Pang belonged to the assistant, which meant that the assistant was in his hands.

“What are you so anxious for?” Wu Pang sneered as he pinched Mother Wu’s chin. Mother Wu shook him off in disdain but he did not care. He took out a phone and waved it in front of Mother Wu.

Mother Wu did not understand what he meant. She kept trying to open the car door and wanted to get off.

There was arrogance in Wu Pang’s tone as he threatened Mother Wu, “Contact Wu Mei now and ask her to prepare money and a car for me to leave.”

Mother Wu looked at Wu Pang in surprise and said in shock, “Wu Pang, where is your pride?”

Wu Pang raised his hand and gave Mother Wu a tight slap across the face. It was a loud slap. “I asked you to make the phone call, so just make the phone call. What nonsense are you spouting?”

Mother Wu covered her face as tears welled up in her eyes. She recalled every warning Wu Mei had given her and felt that it was extremely ironic.

Back then, she trusted Wu Pang wholeheartedly and kept opposing Wu Mei’s decision, but this was the end result.

“Aren’t you afraid that I will contact Mei’er and ask her not to save me?” Mother Wu stopped what she was doing and looked at Wu Pang mockingly.

“This is that little assistant’s phone,” Wu Pang kindly reminded Mother Wu.

“You and Wu Mei’s trusted subordinate are both in my hands. With two lives in my hands, surely she’ll be obedient?”

Mother Wu looked at him in shock. Suddenly, as if she had gone mad, she reached out and grabbed Wu Pang’s face. She roared, “Wu Pang, you used an innocent little assistant to trick me. I will kill you. I will kill you.”

There was no way she could defeat Wu Pang. After a few hits, she was subdued.

Wu Pang grabbed her hair impolitely and scolded her, “Who do you think you are? Everyone is coaxing you not because of your ability or status, but because you are Wu Mei’s mother.”

He threw the phone at Mother Wu. “Are you thinking that I made use of you? But weren’t you the one who wanted to prove your strength in front of Wu Mei? You were the one who didn’t listen to her arrangements and spoke so beautifully. Out of all the things you’ve done, when did you ever use your brain?”

Mother Wu picked up the phone and cried, “This time, I…”

What she wanted to say was that she really wanted to help her Mei’er.

Mother Wu stopped, suddenly realizing that Wu Pang was right.

She truly wanted to find the assistant to share Wu Mei’s burden, but more than that, she wanted to prove that she wasn’t as weak as Wu Mei thought her to be. She could do many amazing things, but in the end, she still dragged Wu Mei down and put herself in harm’s way.

Mother Wu looked fixedly at Wu Pang. Suddenly, she giggled.

“W-what are you laughing at?” Wu Pang snapped out of his daze.

His previous plan was to coax Mother Wu and then use her to help him escape. However, when he saw the bright and beautiful Mother Wu, he immediately lost his rationality and forgot his next plan. He attacked Mother Wu.

When Mother Wu laughed creepily, his hair stood on end. He was so frightened that he stammered, “W-what are you laughing about?”

Mother Wu screamed and slammed herself against the car window, knocking herself unconscious.
