The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More Novel - Chapter 467
Chapter 467: The Bomb Crisis
Mo Zhu pondered quietly for a moment before lowering her eyes to think. Although she didn’t know what had happened at the Huo family’s old mansion, she didn’t want to reject her and ruin Chen Man’s mood. “Alright, Huo Xuan and I will rush over now!”
After saying this, she heard Chen Man acknowledge softly. Mo Zhu hung up the phone directly. She didn’t stay at Xu Huan’s place to waste any more time and brought Huo Xuan straight back to the old mansion.
As Mo Wu was already feeling better, he could tell that something had happened in the old mansion from Mo Zhu’s words. He volunteered to be the driver and drove the two of them over.
About half an hour later, Mo Wu parked the car steadily at the entrance of the Huo family’s old mansion.
Chen Man had already instructed the servants to tidy up the room Mo Zhu and Huo Xuan were sleeping in. At this moment, she was standing at the entrance anxiously with a paper box, waiting for them.
Seeing Mo Zhu and Huo Xuan open the car door and get out of the car, Chen Man quickly took two steps forward and said in a low voice, “Xuan’er, Xiao Zhu, you’re finally back. Quickly look at this paper box. There are a few things that look like bombs inside. The courier sent it to the Huo family residence tonight. I was shocked just as I opened it.”
“There are five small bombs in this box. They seem to be timed. Apart from the one that exploded when we opened the box, the other four inside are still intact!”
Recalling the fear she had when she opened the box and realized that there were bombs in it, Chen Man took a deep breath with lingering fear. She took a deep breath and said, “Although the bombs in the box aren’t very powerful and only blew up a corner of the paper box, I think there must be something fishy behind sending such a thing to the Huo family.”
After a pause, Chen Man handed the box in her hand to Huo Xuan. She grabbed Mo Zhu’s hand and continued asking anxiously, “Xiao Zhu, are you guys alright in the small mansion? Did you encounter any danger on the way here?”
When Mo Zhu heard this, a cold glint flashed across her eyes. She frowned slightly in displeasure and forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart. She said coldly, “Auntie, we’re fine. I’ll study the bomb in the box first!”
…
She wanted to see who had the guts to send a bomb to the Huo family openly!
After saying this, Mo Zhu raised her hand and picked up a small bomb from the paper box Huo Xuan was holding. Unexpectedly, after staring at it for a few seconds, Mo Zhu looked away with a dark expression.
After placing the bomb in the box, Mo Zhu instructed as she walked into the house, “Prepare a computer for me. I want to check all the routes that the courier passed before he sent the parcel to the old mansion!”
When she arrived at the main hall, Mo Zhu sat on the sofa and quickly operated the laptop Mo Wu had handed her. Before everyone could see how she operated it, a map of the entire capital appeared on the screen.
She accurately found the location of the Huo family’s old mansion from the map. Mo Zhu pulled out the surveillance video of the few streets near the old mansion and checked all the delivery points that the courier had passed by in detail. Mo Zhu’s fingers gently knocked on the coffee table and she lowered her eyes thoughtfully.
As if she had thought of something, she raised her hand and checked the surveillance camera in front of the mansion Xu Huan had rented. Mo Zhu only took a rough look for two minutes before her expression changed. A cold glint flashed across her eyes. She suddenly raised her hand and punched the sofa cushion beside her.
Mo Zhu stood up and walked to Chen Man. She held the woman’s hand and eased her anger a little. She said indifferently, “Auntie, I have found out some things about this matter. It’s already so late. You should rest first. Huo Xuan and I will deal with it!”
Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Chen Man naturally believed in her daughter-in-law’s ability. She gently held the girl’s hand and replied softly, “Alright, in that case, I’m relieved. I’ve tidied up the room for you and Xuan’er. The two of you rest early tonight. Let’s have a good meal tomorrow to nourish ourselves!”
