Chapter 870: 870, the delicate Mo Family Little Princess, also has the skill to scheme against men.
5:00 PM.
Nangong Ci, accompanied by a young nurse, arrived at Xiao Yebai’s SVIP Ward.
The attending physician was conducting a routine check before leaving work.
“Deputy Dean.”
Dressed in a clean and neat white coat, Nangong Ci, with his dignified and aloof demeanor, nodded, “How is President Xiao’s injury recovering?”
The attending physician explained, “The wound on his head still requires regular inspections and dressing changes. As for other aspects, the current examination results show no signs of post-concussion syndrome.”
Nangong Ci nodded, “In that case, President Xiao, pay more attention to resting.”
“Thank you,” Xiao Yebai responded in a flat tone.
After the checkup report was completed, the attending physician prepared to leave.
Xiao Yebai occasionally checked his phone and was clearly busy, so Nangong Ci did not wish to disturb him and soon bid farewell.
Once outside.
“Dr. Liu, are President Xiao’s injuries really not serious?”
Nangong Ci was merely expressing routine concern. After all, he was only an acquaintance of Xiao Yebai. He had not expected…
“Don’t get me started, Deputy Dean. I’ve been a doctor for thirty years and have never seen such a non-compliant patient!”
“What do you mean?” Nangong Ci’s mouth twitched slightly, “President Xiao is unwilling to cooperate with the treatment?”
“It’s not just about not cooperating with the treatment!” Dr. Liu seemed to have been holding a grudge, “Ever since he was transferred here, he’s been running outside every two to three days. Last night, he was out for 3 or 4 hours and didn’t return until after midnight. Can you believe it?”
“The Mo Family patriarch just passed away, and the Little Princess is pregnant. Now, President Xiao is the pillar of the Mo Family, and there are many family matters to attend to. It can’t be helped…”
“Of course I understand that, but…” Dr. Liu furrowed his brows, “Running out like this every couple of days greatly affects the wound’s recovery. And the night-shift nurse told me that ever since he stayed here, he often doesn’t sleep well into the night. Especially last night, after returning and sleeping at past midnight, he woke up in less than two hours. When the nurse went in, she found him standing by the window in a daze… What do you think he’s doing? If it weren’t for the CT scan showing no issues, I’d suspect post-concussion symptoms.”
“Dr. Liu, you might be a bit too anxious. Maybe President Xiao just isn’t accustomed to sleeping in a hospital ward,” Nangong Ci coughed and instructed the young nurse beside him, “In a moment, set up an aromatherapy lamp to help him sleep in President Xiao’s room.”
Having said that, he immediately added, “The most expensive one.”
“Of course, Deputy Dean.” The young nurse quickly took note.
After arranging these matters, Nangong Ci put on his leader’s demeanor, “The Mo Family patriarch’s sudden passing must weigh heavily on President Xiao’s heart, and having trouble sleeping is quite normal. Dr. Liu, you must be patient with patients, understand?”
“Is that so?” Dr. Liu’s tone was skeptical.
The death of the elder Mo was known to many in Nancheng.
The elder Mo had always been the pillar of the Mo Family, and his sudden death left behind a wealth rivalling that of nations. However, he had divided almost all his assets among his only granddaughter, Mo Weiyi, giving nothing to his son Mo Yaoxiong, let alone his son-in-law Xiao Yebai.
Could this really be the reason for his sleepless nights?
Indeed, as a modern-day son-in-law who had worked hard for the Mo Family and the company for so many years, to find that not only was his wife pregnant but also that the elder Mo was unwilling to leave him a penny… This was clearly treating him like an outsider!
Nangong Ci advised, “The Mo Family has always been a VIP client of our hospital. With the Mo Family patriarch just passed away and the complicated situation in the Mo Family, please take extra care to prevent any accidents.”
“Rest assured, Deputy Dean,” Dr. Liu promised, “As long as President Xiao is willing to cooperate with the treatment, I, as the attending physician, will naturally…”
With a “bang,” the door of the ward behind suddenly opened.
Dr. Liu’s words were interrupted, and he was startled.
Turning around, he saw Xiao Yebai walking out of the ward.
Meeting his cold and piercing gaze, Dr. Liu’s face involuntarily stiffened.
And it wasn’t just him.
Even Nangong Ci felt somewhat guilty.
Although they were discussing the patient’s condition, if Xiao Yebai were to overhear them… the impact would be too negative.
The next second.
Xiao Yebai, without uttering a word, coldly walked ahead.
The bodyguard stationed by the door hurried after him.
Doctor Liu snapped to and started shouting, “President Xiao, where are you going? President Xiao? President Xiao!”
By the time Xiao Yebai had walked straight into the elevator and left, Doctor Liu turned back, spread his hands in resignation, “Vice President, you see now, right?”
It wasn’t that he wasn’t diligent in caring for him, the patient was just too unreasonable!
Every time, he would just leave without a word, with a cold expression. Who would dare to stop him?
Nangong Ci: “…”
Mm.
I see.
Indeed, too unreasonable!

The bodyguard followed Xiao Yebai all the way to the parking garage.
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
Once in the car, he asked, “Young Master Xiao, where would you like to go?”
Xiao Yebai, clad in a hospital gown, had an expressionless handsome face.
After a long while, he parted his thin lips, “To Lishui Bay.”
“Understood.”
The car drove off.
Meanwhile, the ringtone of the cell phone sounded, and Xiao Yebai immediately answered, “Have you found her yet?”
“We’ve searched the entire airport, no luck.”
“You lost track of one woman, are you a bunch of pigs?”
The bodyguard driving in front: “…”
Having been with the Mo Family for so long, Xiao Yebai had always been silent and reticent, rarely showing his emotions outwardly.
To be honest, this was the first time they had seen him so angry, to the point of cursing out loud.
The person on the other end of the call could only apologize, “I’m sorry, Young Master Xiao, I am having my men continue the search. Rest assured, we’ll find her very soon…”
Xiao Yebai hung up the call abruptly.
Sitting there, his eyebrows gradually furrowed, and his thin lips pressed into a straight line, as if his entire being was enveloped in a layer of frost.
The bodyguard didn’t dare to ask what had happened, driving quickly but steadily all the way, and periodically, Xiao Yebai would pick up his cell phone to make a call.
And each time after the conversation finished, his expression turned even colder.
As the car reached Lishui Bay, the man’s face was overshadowed with thunderclouds.
In the garage, the bodyguard parked the car, but before he could speak, the door was “bang” pushed open, and the man in the hospital gown got out, striding fiercely toward the villa.
The bodyguard quickly took out his cell phone to call Mo Yaoxiong, “Chairman, there’s trouble, Young Master Xiao has run out of the hospital again…”
**
In the living room, Aunt Zhou looked at the man in surprise, “Young Master Xiao, you’ve come back?”
Xiao Yebai didn’t say a word and headed upstairs.
He looked unwell, and Aunt Zhou, concerned, quickly followed him upstairs.
Upon reaching the upper floor, she saw Xiao Yebai forcefully pushing open the master bedroom door and walking in.
Aunt Zhou hurried over.
Inside the room, the man was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, swiftly opening every cupboard and drawer.
“Mr. Xiao, what are you doing?” Aunt Zhou couldn’t help but ask.
Xiao Yebai did not speak.
But because of her question, he stopped what he was doing.
Aunt Zhou surveyed the room—it was in complete disarray, even the jewelry box on the dressing table had been emptied…
“Mr. Xiao, are you looking for something? Tell me what it is, and I’ll help you find it.”
Xiao Yebai stood there, like a statue.
Yet his face was a cold, steel blue, and his eyes were sharp and bone-chilling.
“Mr. Xiao?”
Aunt Zhou was baffled.
He had inexplicably run home from the hospital, and upon entering, he had started turning everything upside down—an onlooker might think the princess had wronged him somehow.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
Xiao Yebai shifted his gaze and quickly took out his phone.
He was fast.
But when he saw the screen, he paused.
Then he still answered the call, “Dad.”
“Yebai, what happened? Why did you run home from the hospital?” Mo Yaoxiong asked.
Xiao Yebai’s eyes lifted, his lips twisted in a mockery, “Weiyi is missing.”
Aunt Zhou’s face registered shock.
On the phone, Mo Yaoxiong was also surprised, “Weiyi is missing? What do you mean? Wasn’t she going to Hokkaido today? How could she go missing?”
“The person I sent over just called me. They said that shortly after getting off the plane, Weiyi vanished. Now her phone is unreachable, and she can’t be found.” As Xiao Yebai spoke these words, he seemed to have regained his composure; his voice and expression void of change, returning to his usual calm demeanor.
Mo Yaoxiong asked, “Can you reach Rong An’s phone?”
“No.”
“That Rong An really, always indulging Weiyi’s whims!” After saying that, Mo Yaoxiong immediately tried to calm him, “Yebai, don’t overthink it. Maybe Weiyi didn’t want to be followed by your people, so they went off on their own. Don’t worry, I will send someone to find them right away. Hokkaido is very small.”
Xiao Yebai did not speak, just slowly looked around at the things in the room.
Mo Weiyi didn’t seem to have taken much with her for this trip.
So was it to avoid him?
He thought back to the conversation they had downstairs the night before.
Mo Weiyi had said that the Mo Family and the company were in great need of him now, and everything else could wait.
At the time, he hadn’t thought much of it.
Because ever since the meeting with Ruan Qiyang in Kyoto, Weiyi’s longing for her biological parents had been completely severed. In this world, she could only rely on him, and him alone.
And she was carrying his child.
Since she had suddenly changed her mind at the critical moment of a miscarriage, aside from not wanting to lose the child, he must have been a factor.
But after all he had done to seek her forgiveness, admittingly, it was difficult.
However…
Xiao Yebai felt that she was gradually seeing things more clearly and was willing to accept him.
The most evident change was after they returned to Nancheng. Following the sudden worsening of old Mr. Mo’s illness leading to his death, her attitude towards him had indeed changed.
He naturally attributed this to her having thought things through.
The night before, they had both made concessions.
He agreed to let her go on a trip to Hokkaido for a month, but insisted that his people accompany her to ensure her safety and report her whereabouts.
She also agreed to let him maintain the company’s normal operations and even took the initiative to transfer the shares she inherited from the old man to him for management. Most importantly, she proposed that they continue discussing their issues once she returned.
He thought everything was moving forward as planned, but then Mo Weiyi suddenly disappeared in Hokkaido!
So, were these just her stopgap measures?
Just to elude him upon entering R Country?
Because he was currently injured and preoccupied with company matters, he would not be able to rush over immediately… and even if he did make it there, being a foreigner in R Country, it would not be as easy to search for someone as it would be back home.
Heh.
Xiao Yebai suddenly let out a cold laugh from deep within his throat.
For the first time, he realized that the delicate princess of the Mo Family… was capable of such cunning manipulation.
“Yebai, you should go back to the hospital and rest,” Mo Yaoxiong on the other end of the line coaxed, “Don’t forget, there’s a shareholders’ meeting at the company tomorrow morning.”
The fingers clasping his phone tightened gradually.
It took several seconds before Xiao Yebai finally spoke, “Alright.”
Mo Yaoxiong sighed with relief, gave a few more instructions, and then hung up.
The bedroom returned to silence.
Aunt Zhou looked at him and then at the disheveled bedroom, “Mr. Xiao, the princess… she…”
Xiao Yebai suddenly turned and emotionlessly walked out.
**
Downstairs in the living room, upon seeing Xiao Yebai come down, the bodyguard quickly followed.
Once back in the car, the man commanded, “Return to the hospital.”
“Yes, Mr. Xiao.”
The bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly drove off.
…
On the road, Xiao Yebai tried again to call Mo Weiyi and Rong An via WeChat voice and their phone numbers in R Country, to no avail.
This was the first time since their marriage that they had truly, completely lost contact.
Even during previous conflicts that escalated to the brink of divorce, even when she went to Kyoto alone to search for her mother, he had always maintained full knowledge of her whereabouts.
Despite knowing that Mo Weiyi was likely just trying to evade his subordinates and that Rong An was with her, so she wouldn’t be in any danger,
Still…
A vexed emotion slowly surfaced on Xiao Yebai’s usually handsome and indifferent face.
This feeling of complete loss of contact was truly unbearable.
