Chapter 548: Escape

Mo Shengli had hacked into the hotel’s registration records and had long discovered that there was an empty floor in Xiangyun Hotel that was heavily guarded.

Hence, his goal was clear: to reach that floor.

He arrived just as the guards were changing shifts.

He first went to the changing room and stole a set of waiter’s clothes to change into. In order not to be discovered, he pushed a dining cart and walked to the door of the room guarded by the guards.

Mo Shengli was just about to knock when someone suddenly called out to him from behind.

“Stop! Who are you?”

Mo San suddenly walked over from behind.

“I…”

Mo Shengli couldn’t make a sound, so he turned to look at Mo San silently.

Mo San quickly realized it was Mo Shengli.

He was just about to shout when Mo Shengli quickly threw aside the dining cart and dragged him into the room, covering his mouth.

Soon, the guards came over.

They looked at the dining cart at the side that was thrown to the ground, but the waiter wasn’t around, and it roused their suspicions. A guard knocked on the door.

“Jiajia! Are you still there? Are you alright?”

When Mo Shengli heard someone calling for his daughter, he immediately grabbed Mo San’s neck.

“Speak,” he muttered to him softly.

“I’ll talk to Jiajia, you can go back first.”

They wouldn’t suspect anything when they heard that it was Mo San’s voice.

Hearing the person at the door turn around to leave, Mo Shengli knocked Mo San out.

He turned and saw his daughter looking at him.

“Jiajia, are you alright?”

He eyed his daughter up and down to make sure she was alright before heaving a sigh of relief.

“Dad, Uncle Mo San is a good person, why did you hit him? Is he dead?”

Jiajia pointed to Mo San on the ground, a little scared.

This was the first time she had seen her father kill someone. He was completely different from her usual gentle and kind father. She was a little frightened.

“No, Dad knocked him out. Did they hurt you? Why are you here?”

Mo Shengli hugged his daughter tightly, not letting go.

“They said they were Dad’s friends and asked me to come over to see you. They treated me very well. Dad, why did you only come to see me now?”

Jiajia clenched her doll tightly. She was a little afraid of her father now.

“I’m very busy and have something to do, that’s why I was late in coming here to see you. Don’t blame me.”

Mo Shengli comforted his daughter patiently.

He hadn’t told his daughter what he was doing because he didn’t want her to be involved in his disgusting matters, but now, Mo Jinrong had ruined everything he had carefully protected.

“Dad, I don’t blame you, don’t hurt them. They treat Jiajia very well, especially that beautiful sister. She will play with Jiajia and bring me to eat a lot of delicious food.”

Jiajia experienced a motherly love that she had never experienced before from Lan Anran.

“Jiajia, listen, in the future, just stay in this room and don’t go anywhere. Don’t eat anything others give to you, I will definitely save you.”

Mo Shengli’s only worry was that his daughter had been harmed by someone else. Now that Mo Jinrong had implicated his daughter in such a matter, he would never forgive him.

“Why? That pretty sister said I could play whenever I wanted and eat whatever I wanted. Are you leaving again so you can’t play with me?”

Jiajia had a bad feeling that her father might leave again soon.

Mo Shengli couldn’t bear to leave as he hugged his daughter.

“Jiajia, you’re a big girl, you can’t always think about playing. You have to learn to protect yourself. Call me if you need anything, okay? As long as you call me, I will definitely save you.

“If something really happens to Dad one day, you must find your grandma and go to the Mo Family. Your grandma will raise you.”

Mo Shengli smiled and hugged his daughter tightly.

Jiajia looked at her father and had a bad feeling. She had a nagging feeling that her father was going to leave her.

“Dad doesn’t want me? Don’t you want me too? I don’t want to be an orphan. Dad, Jiajia will be good…”

Jiajia looked at her father with tears in her eyes.

“It’s not that I don’t want you, I’m just too busy to accompany you. Jiajia, you must be good.”

He caressed Jiajia’s head, unwilling to hold his daughter as tears streamed down his face.

In the surveillance room, the security guard seemed to have noticed something and was calling Mo Jinrong.

“Boss Mo, bad news, Mo Shengli is really here. He’s in the room now.”

He was right.

“Send someone to surround the hotel immediately and control the stairs and elevator. I’ll be there soon.”

Mo Jinrong hung up and left the company.

He called Mo San, but no one picked up for a long time.

Mo Shengli wiped his tears and picked up Mo San’s call.

“Mo San, where are you? Mo Shengli was in the hotel room before. Hurry and catch him!”

The call ended without a sound and Mo Jinrong had a bad feeling.

“Jiajia, Dad is busy with work again and will visit you again soon. You must be good. Tell me if they bully you.”

Mo Shengli touched his daughter’s face and kissed her. He turned and opened the door to look outside.

He heard approaching footsteps.

“There’s no way you can catch me.” Mo Shengli opened the window and saw many people entering.

The stairs and elevator must have been sealed.

In this situation, he could only climb through the window.

He searched the room as quickly as possible, but there weren’t any sharp tools or ropes in the room. Helpless, he could only pull off the bedsheets and curtains, tying them into knots on the bed.

He twisted the bedsheets and curtains into a rope and threw them down the window. Fortunately, the floor wasn’t too high up and Mo Shengli might have a chance to escape.

Jiajia watched her father’s desperate actions and couldn’t help but cry.

“Dad, can you not leave? Jiajia will be good, don’t abandon me! Take me with you!”

Jiajia pulled her father, unwilling to part.

She even had questions in her heart. Why was she always the one who was abandoned?

“Jiajia, it’s safer for you to stay here than by my side. Don’t worry, Dad will definitely come back to find you.”

Mo Shengli didn’t think Mo Jinrong would hurt his child. After all, he just wanted to catch him.

He jumped down from the window without a care.

Just then, the security guard opened the door and walked in.

Jiajia cried like a baby and threw herself into the security guard’s arms.

“Don’t arrest my father, he is a good person.”

The security guard helped Mo San up and sent him to the hospital after confirming that he had only fainted.
