Chapter 802: Chapter 802: The Duke’s Daughter is Missing

Yin Mo’s clearly resistant yet helpless expression seemed to please He Chen.

With his hands tucked into the pockets of his robe, he leaned against the doorframe and cast a flippant glance at the sink, “Washed so many times, do you want another round?”

Yin Mo immediately turned off the faucet, wiped her hands with a towel, turned around, and frowned, “Move aside.”

The bathroom space was originally spacious, but with He Chen blocking the door, it suddenly felt oppressively narrow.

Especially his strong masculine scent, every close encounter made Yin Mo feel an odd unease.

He Chen shrugged his shoulders casually and watched her, “Did Xiao Yehui tell you to come back–did he say what for?”

Half an hour ago, Yin Mo unexpectedly received a phone call from Xiao Yehui, asking her to return to the manor as soon as possible.

He Chen heard that call very clearly. The commanding tone from the other end was somewhat surprising to him.

Yin Mo stood next to the sink, took a deep breath, “You heard it–he wouldn’t discuss business with me on the phone even if he really had tasks for me.”

“Hmm…” He Chen pondered for a few seconds before reaching out to pinch Yin Mo’s chin and smiled roguishly, “You know him that well?”

Yin Mo didn’t understand what He Chen’s seemingly mocking smile meant, and with a frown, she pushed his hand away, “If he arranges for me to do something, I’ll find a way to inform you.”

Having said that, she tiptoed forward, intending to get past He Chen and leave the bathroom.

Just two steps away, Yin Mo’s wrist was suddenly gripped tight, and she was pressed by He Chen against the door.

He leaned down, his handsome face inching closer, his slender eyes filled with amusement, “Speaking of which, having grown up at the manor, you must have had countless opportunities to get close to Xiao Yehui–did you never seize any of them?”

Yin Mo looked puzzled, and she particularly disliked the word ‘get close’, “What are you talking about?”

In He Chen’s eyes, her act was feigning ignorance.

He suddenly lost interest, became more frivolous and careless, and spoke without any restraint, “Babe, be honest, when you slept with Xiao Yehui, why didn’t you make a move?”

Yin Mo’s body trembled with uncontrollable rage, she roared angrily, “He Chen, what the hell are you talking about?”

“Tsk.” He Chen scrutinized her from head to toe, unapologetically patted her cheek, “Getting angry out of embarrassment?”

Furious, her adrenaline surged, Yin Mo swung at He Chen with one hand and unceremoniously punched with the other.

He Chen seemed to have not expected Yin Mo to strike suddenly and wasn’t on guard, his mouth corner taking the full force of her punch.

Then, both of them were stunned.

He Chen’s expression changed drastically in an instant, his thumb pressing against his mouth corner, his eyes turbulent.

Yin Mo felt somewhat guilty, but still defiantly glared back at him.

The next second, He Chen spread his fingers and clamped her jaw, licking the corner of his lip that she had hit, “You’ve slept together, and still, you can’t say it?”

Yin Mo felt incredibly humiliated, “I’m not as disgusting as you are.”

She swung her fist at his face again, but He Chen was ready this time and caught her punch. With just a bit of force, he squeezed her knuckles painfully.

He Chen inspected Yin Mo carefully, those furious eyes indeed didn’t seem feigned.

He was surprised and loosened his grip slightly, “You’ve never slept with Xiao Yehui?”

Yin Mo struggled a bit but couldn’t escape his grip, stubbornly turning her face away, refusing to look at him.

He Chen’s brows lifted slightly, his Adam’s apple bobbed, “Then it was Xiao Yeyan?”

Without hesitation, Yin Mo raised her knee aiming to kick him.

He Chen dodged her attack agilely, and due to Yin Mo’s sudden outburst, he had to block and counter her moves,

He didn’t want to harm her; most of his actions were defensive.

Soon enough, they maintained a reasonable distance, and Yin Mo, silent, turned and strode towards the apartment’s entrance hall.

He Chen’s robe hung loosely on his body as he leaned against the wall with one hand, watching her retreating figure with a light tease, “Baby, does that mean you’re agreeing?”

“Get lost!”

Yin Mo snapped coldly and slammed the apartment door shut behind her as she left.

The living room returned to its quiet state.

He Chen’s smile slightly subsided as he peered at the door thoughtfully, his dark eyes narrowing.

So she actually hadn’t slept with Xiao Yehui, and it seemed that she wasn’t that kind of relationship with Xiao Yeyan either.

So clean?

He Chen truly liked Yin Mo, a beauty with such a captivating charm.

But that didn’t mean he was indiscriminate.

In short, he held no interest in women who had been with the Xiao brothers.

Even though they had had intimate contact recently, it was limited to him forcefully making her help him relieve his needs.

And Yin Mo’s behavior just now…

He Chen licked his aching lips, feeling a bit short-changed.

…

The next day, the extracurricular practice group from Hui Linghaus Public School arrived at the Medical Alliance.

Four school buses slowly entered the parking lot, where the small town’s reception team greeted them warmly.

Hui Linghaus Public School was a premier elite boarding school in England, featuring strict closed management and aristocratic-style education; it was known as a cradle of the elite, where even members of the Royal Family were educated.

As such, for this extracurricular expansion, in addition to the teachers accompanying the group, there were also a number of specially hired bodyguards from the school.

There were thirty students participating in the practice, all dressed in the uniform school attire.

Even though they were teenagers prone to fun and frolic, this group of young men and women were unexpectedly disciplined, each embodying the epitome of aristocratic manners.

The reception team led the student group to the reception room, while the team leaders discussed the details of the visit and practice with the person in charge.

On this day, the usually subdued Medical Alliance buzzed with excitement due to the visit of these aristocratic youths.

The researchers enthusiastically presented various research ideas and achievements to the students, and many seized the opportunity to invite them to join the Medical Alliance for research when they grew up.

In short, the atmosphere was one of harmony and joy.

As time ticked away, a major incident occurred at four o’clock in the afternoon.

The school group from Hui Linghaus was preparing to head home, and once all students had boarded the buses and roll call was taken, they discovered that one person was missing.

The leading teacher, anxiously counting the students over and over, finally confirmed that Xiao Yening, the young Miss from a noble duke’s family, was nowhere to be found.

…

An hour and a half later, two Bentleys reserved for nobility arrived at the headquarters of the Medical Alliance.

Without waiting for the bodyguards to open the door, Madam Xiao Ming Dailan got out of the car first.

The school buses from Hui Linghaus Public School had already left early, leaving only two teachers waiting in the parking lot.

“What on earth happened?” Madam Xiao approached quickly, dressed in an elegant and dignified ladies’ suit, which shone brightly. Perhaps due to her daughter’s disappearance, she had no time to maintain her composure, her complexion showing an unusual look of ugliness and anxiety.

The two teachers didn’t dare take the matter lightly and bowed to Madam Xiao, immediately telling her about Xiao Yening’s disappearance.

Madam Xiao gripped her handbag tightly, her gaze sharp as a blade as she turned to the Medical Alliance’s reception team, and even though furious, her voice remained gently soft, “Has the police been notified?”
