Xie Jie said so many things at once that Mo Qiang felt out of the loop. She pursed her lips and looked between the two mers before asking, "What are you trying to say? Just be clear. What's with the riddles?"
Upon hearing her words, Xie Jie smiled coldly. He then explained the entire situation to Mo Qiang. It turned out that someone leaked the antidote that Wen Gui had created and that Mo Qiang had given to Madam Xie. In the past, she had risen to great heights and was held in great reverence because she was the only one who could deal with the Zerg Queen's poison.
But now that Mo Qiang had found an antidote, the respect and admiration that Madam Xie had enjoyed were now threatened.
At first, Madam Xie didn't take this matter seriously, as she believed that the Mo family's claims were nothing but unfounded and despicable means to garner more attention and fame. But when the rumour that Mo Qiang was completely fine except for being unconscious started to spread in the imperial star, things started to go downhill.
Madam Xie arranged for someone to bribe Xie Jie's assistant to create a dummy account. Though this looked like nothing but a harmless prank, Xie Jie knew how severe the actions of Madam Xie were. She not only wanted to discredit Xie Jie and stunt his growing career but she also wanted to use this account to make the Mo family take out the recipe of the antidotes.
"Why would I give her the antidote's recipe?" Mo Qiang asked with a helpless and exasperated look on her face. What kind of thought process was this? She was the one who found the antidote and it was her father who refined it. Why would she hand such a good thing to Madam Xie?
"It's because she knew that you respect and care for Xie Jie," Yin Fu explained with a patient expression. "Madam Xie must have thought that as long as she pushes Xie Jie in a pit, you will do anything to help him. It was totally unexpected for them that Jie'er found out about the dummy account and stopped the damage before it went too far."
If that woman had not come to look for Xie Jie that day, neither of them would have known that such a thing was happening right under their nose. In that case, there was a very good chance that Madam Xie's plan might have succeeded.
Once Mo Qiang finished listening, she released a heavy sigh. She raised her hand and pinched the space between her brows. She should have known that there were countless people waiting for her to fall.
"So, is she looking for a way to kidnap him now?" Mo Qiang asked. She knew that her hunch was more or less correct.
However, when Yin Fu turned and looked at her with an amused smile, she realised that she was the naive one. She pointed the finger at herself, and Yin Fu nodded.
In an instant, Mo Qiang stood up on her feet and yelped, "Why? Why me?" She whipped her head to look at Xie Jie. "I don't think that I did anything to your mother, did I?"
Xie Jie smiled awkwardly. "That's the thing; you indeed didn't do anything to her, but my mother is a grudgeful woman. She sees your actions of creating an antidote as an attack on her livelihood. Thus, she went straight for you."
Mo Qiang was speechless. She turned and looked at Yin Fu. "Why did you ask him to pay attention? You should have asked me to pay attention! I am the one in danger."
