Shi Mo did not react when he heard Xue Ni’s cry for help. He merely stared at Fang Mo’er as if he was waiting for her to give an explanation.

Fang Han was at a loss for words as she looked at Fang Mo’er. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting worse, she quickly said, “Sis, Brother-in-law, it’s not what you think. We’re not kidnapping Miss Xue…”

Xue Ni interrupted, “Brother Shi, they were kidnapping me. Fang Mo’er isn’t as kind as the way she acts in front of you. Before you came, she actually said that she wanted to kill me. It’s a good thing that you’re here, otherwise, you would never be able to see me again!”

Xue Ni cried dramatically, as if she had been extremely wronged.

Fang Mo’er sighed helplessly when she heard Xue Ni’s accusation. Her tone remained calm, without any trace of panic at all.

She said to Xue Ni, “Xue Ni, initially, I wanted to let you off on account that you had saved Shi Mo’s life in the past. As long as you behaved, it would have been fine, but…”

Fang Mo’er’s tone changed and she bent down to meet Xue Ni’s gaze. Her tone then became colder, “Not only did you not reflect upon your actions, but you’ve also tried to frame me now. Don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Xue Ni saw that Fang Mo’er was calm and did not mind that Shi Mo had caught her kidnapping someone. She could not help but feel a sense of fear in her heart.

However, when she saw Shi Mo beside her, she calmed down.

What was there to be afraid of? Both she and Shi Mo were childhood friends and she had even saved Shi Mo’s life before. With their relationship, he would surely not allow Fang Mo’er to bully her, no matter what.

Secretly feeling reassured again, Xue Ni went crazy again.

She turned around and cried pitifully towards Shi Mo, “Brother Shi, this rope is too tight. It hurts. Can you help me untie it first?”

Shi Mo frowned as he looked at the three girls in the private room.

He said, “Mo’er, aren’t you going to explain yourself?”

The reason he was not anxious was because he had seen that Xue Ni was not injured. With his understanding of Fang Mo’er, he knew that she would not kidnap and injure someone without any reason.

Fang Mo’er did not reply to Shi Mo’s question. Instead, she whispered into Xue Ni’s ear, “I’m going to ask you one last time. What do you think about what I said just now?”

She had still wanted to give Xue Ni a chance, but Xue Ni did not appreciate it.

Looking smug, Xue Ni used Fang Mo’er’s body to shield herself from Shi Mo’s gaze and whispered to Fang Mo’er, “Do you have any evidence that I framed you? On the contrary, I do have evidence that you owe money from gambling.”

At that moment, the door to the private room was slightly ajar and soothing music flowed in through the gap.

Fang Mo’er and Xue Ni’s conversation was very soft so no one other than the two of them could hear them.

Seeing that Fang Mo’er was ignoring him, Shi Mo closed the door behind him and walked over to Fang Mo’er and Xue Ni.

Fang Mo’er rubbed her eyes and her eyes turned red as tears welled up in her eyes.

She stood up and advanced upon Shi Mo. In a slightly coquettish voice, she said, “Hubby, I didn’t want to tell you at first. I intended on settling this matter myself because you treat Miss Xue as your sister. Now, it seems that I have no choice but to tell you the truth. However, would you believe what I tell you?”

Hearing Fang Mo’er’s words, Shi Mo had a vague understanding of what was going on. He nodded.

Fang Mo’er continued, “Since something happened to Miss Xue’s company, there has been a problem with her finances. She was put in a difficult position with the Xue family so she kidnapped me so that she could threaten me to leave you. At that time, I was in her territory and I didn’t dare to resist. So, I had no choice but to agree to her terms.”

Fang Mo’er’s expression was desolate, as if she was still afraid.

Xue Ni retorted angrily, “Brother Shi, she’s lying! I didn’t kidnap her, but there’s something I have to tell you.”

However, she was forced to sit obediently on the sofa as her body was tied up like a caterpillar with rope. She tried to stand up but failed.

She could not help but raise her head to look at Fang Mo’er with hatred. “She went to the casino to gamble and she owed a few hundred million. If such a person were to stay by your side, she would just bring disaster. Brother Shi, if uncle and aunt knew about this, think about what would happen! Moreover, if such a person were to stay by your side, something bad is bound to happen sooner or later!”

“You were kidnapped, yet why didn’t you tell me about such a big matter?” Shi Mo frowned as he spoke unhappily to Fang Mo’er.

Fang Mo’er said helplessly, “Xue Ni and you have a special relationship. If I were to tell you, wouldn’t it make things difficult for you? Furthermore, you still have to go to Country Y to help her with her company’s affairs.”

Fang Mo’er was well-versed in the way of being a manipulative woman. Thus, she had to resort to the same methods so that the actual manipulative woman would have no way out.

He had not expected Fang Mo’er to be thinking of him in this matter. Amidst his rage, Shi Mo suddenly felt a burst of inexplicable happiness which angered Xue Ni even more.

He glared at Xue Ni, his tone filled with uncontrollable anger. “You kidnapped her?”

Xue Ni had said a lot of things, but Shi Mo seemed to have only heard about kidnapping without paying any attention to anything else. He stared at her with a burning gaze.
