Chapter 335 - An Emergency

After taking a few steps, Meng Ran quickly walked in front of her and blocked her path.

Meng Ran raised her hand and waved it in front of Mo Zhu. She frowned in confusion and asked, “Sister Mo, what were you thinking about just now? You were so distracted. It’s fine that you didn’t hear me talking to Zhang Qi, but why don’t you remember the way to the restaurant now?”

She forced Mo Zhu’s body to the other side and continued, “Sister Mo, we can only reach the research institute’s dining room by walking this way.”

After saying this, Meng Ran saw that Mo Zhu had come back to her senses. She skipped over to Zhang Qi and continued the topic from before to discuss the test questions in the afternoon.

Sighing unhurriedly, Mo Zhu silently followed the two of them towards the dining room.

After walking for two minutes, she did not expect Meng Ran to turn around and talk to her apologetically. “Sister Mo, if Zhang Qi and I can’t perform well in the finals this time and I implicate you, will you be angry at us?”

Meng Ran was really worried that with her ability, she would cause Mo Zhu to be unable to get the prize money and the first place. Back then, when she signed up as Mo Zhu’s deskmate, she had observed her very carefully. Sister Mo had signed up for the Mathematics competition for the first place because of the huge reward for it. If Mo Zhu missed the first place because of her poor performance, she really could not forgive herself! Understanding the worry and guilt in the girl’s heart, Mo Zhu raised her hand and patted Meng Ran’s little head. She replied indifferently, “It’s fine as long as you work hard. It doesn’t matter what ranking you get. Do the questions I gave you over the next few days. Don’t worry about achieving results quickly. As long as you can complete half of the questions in the individual competition on the day of the finals, I’ll be there for the team for the team competition!”

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, the huge stone in Meng Ran’s heart was gone. She was so touched that her eyes were watery, and she immediately choked on her tears.

Before she could whimper, Mo Zhu had already expected that she would continue talking. She quickly interrupted the girl’s subsequent words, “Alright, stop thanking me. Don’t you find your words annoying? I’m sick of hearing them!”

Just as she finished speaking, her phone suddenly rang urgently. She touched the vibrating phone in her coat pocket and took it out to glance at the caller ID. Upon seeing that it was a call from Mo Wu, Mo Zhu’s heart skipped a beat. An uneasy feeling welled up in her heart for no reason. She coughed lightly and picked up the call. “What’s the matter?” Mo Zhu’s voice was cold and emotionless.

Although she had kept Mo Wu’s phone number in her phone for a long time, he had almost never taken the initiative to call her.

Thinking of this sudden call and the fact that there had been no news from Huo Xuan the entire day, Mo Zhu suspected that something had happened!

As expected, when he heard her reply, Mo Wu sounded a little panicked. He quickly said, “Ms. Mo, bad news. Something has happened to Young Master!”

When Mo Zhu heard this, her hand that was holding the phone tightened slightly. Her pupils suddenly constricted and she gently rubbed her palm. She instructed coldly, “Don’t panic. Tell me what exactly happened!”

Mo Wu had never been very good at organizing his words. Now, he was so anxious that he stammered incoherently.

If he couldn’t explain it clearly, he might as well stop talking. “Ms. Mo, Young Master is trapped in the Kang family. I’m already waiting for you at the entrance of the research institute. We’ll talk about the details when we meet!”

When she heard this, Mo Zhu agreed in a low voice and hung up the phone cleanly. Then, she raised her hand and patted Meng Ran’s shoulder. She instructed coldly, “I have something urgent to attend to and I’ll be out of the research institute for a while. If I don’t rush back tonight, help me hide it for a while!”

When Meng Ran heard this, she frowned tightly. “But Sister Mo, there are many people guarding the research institute now…”

Before she could finish, Mo Zhu turned around and walked straight to the wall beside the dining room. She propped herself against the wall and disappeared from their sight in a few jumps.

When Zhang Qi saw this, he smiled and looked up at Meng Ran. “Instead of worrying about Sister Mo, you should think about how to improve your results!”
