Chapter 1531: Lured Back and Placed Under House Arrest

"If you aren't sleeping or eating, if that isn't being sick, then what is it?"

Moli was incredibly anxious: "Please hurry to the hospital and get checked out... I'll call the hospital and have a doctor come to the house."

"I'm fine, it's nothing, you don't need to worry about me. Go do whatever you want to do..."

Jian Yixin continued her act: "You are already grown up, and I've come to terms with it. I shouldn't interfere with my child's life. If you want to join the army, then go, but if you join the army, you won't be able to see Mom often. I hear you can't even make phone calls whenever you want. I want to see my son, I want to see you right now..."

"Mom, I'll head back immediately."

Moli hurried outside, and only after getting into the car did he remember to call his older brother: "Big Brother, I'm heading home."

"Why are you heading home?"

"My mom is sick, she was angered by me..." Moli said, shedding tears of sorrow.

Zichen advised: "Stay calm. If you go home, you might not be able to come back. It's likely a trap set by your mom."

Moli: "I can't worry about that anymore. My mom's complexion is terrible, I have to go back. I'm afraid something might happen to her. If that happens, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"

"Big Brother, call me every day. If you can't reach me, we'll initiate the first plan."

Zichen agreed: "OK."

After arriving home, Moli realized he had been tricked; his mother had made a table full of delicious food, all of which were his favorites.

His mother's complexion was rosy, and there was nothing wrong with her.

After he arrived home, he discovered there were several more bodyguards in the house, and Moli knew it was bad—he had been tricked.

"Why are you standing there stunned, child? Hurry up and wash your hands for dinner."

"Mom, you're perfectly fine. Aren't you just deceiving people?"

"Huh? Oh, I was sick, sick with missing you, but as soon as you said you were coming back, I got better." Jian Yixin's lie had absolutely no credibility.

Since he had returned, he would have to make the best of it.

Although Moli knew he had been tricked, his mother had already prepared the meal, so he could only wash his hands and eat.

After the meal, Jian Yixin earnestly tried to reason with her son: "My treasure, you can't join the army. Look, Mom has already paved the way for you; you need to study under Professor Wang as a graduate student."

"Professor Wang is such a popular professor, he guarantees he can get you admitted to the graduate program. You just study as his graduate student, then go for your doctorate. Your future will be bright, your future will be promising..."

Moli's ears had grown calluses from hearing these words.

He interrupted his mother: "Mom, I'll go join the army first. I can still study for my master's and doctorate when I get back; it won't affect anything."

Jian Yixin thought to herself, why is this child so stubborn? What do you mean it won't affect anything?

Such a popular professor—if you miss this opportunity, it's gone forever. How could it not affect anything?

By then, it would be too late for you to cry.

But now was not the time to lose her temper. Even though she was very anxious, she had to suppress her temper and continue in a gentle tone: "My treasure, you are still young and don't understand these things in society. Professor Wang is so popular; by the time you come back, the spots will have long been taken by others."

"That's not right, is it?"

Moli spotted the flaw and pointed it out: "I'm only a sophomore right now. Even if I didn't join the army, I couldn't be a graduate student yet. Graduate school isn't until two years from now, and I'll be back by then, so it won't affect anything."

Moli was not easy to fool.

Jian Yixin's patience was finally exhausted. She slammed the table and said: "What is wrong with you, child? Why are you so stubborn when I'm trying to talk to you nicely? I'm telling you, you are not allowed to go, so stop talking nonsense with me."

"Fine, then I won't talk nonsense with you either. I'll tell you clearly: I've already signed up, and I'm leaving in a few days."

"If I don't let you go, you won't be able to leave."

Jian Yixin ordered: "Someone, lock the young master in his room. Without my permission, no one is allowed to let him out!"

"You can't do this. Doing this is against the law..."

"This is home, and at home, I have the final say!"

Jiangzhou University.

Zichen sent many messages to Moli without a reply, and he knew something was wrong, so he proceeded according to the first plan.

"Young Master, time to eat."

The servant delivered the meal to the door of Moli's room and knocked, but there was no response from inside.

The servant opened the door a crack and looked through the gap, immediately turning pale with fright!

They started shouting and yelling.

"It's bad, Madam, it's bad! The young master has fainted."

"Is he faking it?" Jian Yixin was half-believing and half-doubting.

Sheng Zerong glanced at his wife and said: "Not necessarily. Moli's health has always been poor, and he has a temper. I'll go over and take a look."

"I'm going too. You aren't a doctor, so your assessment won't be authoritative."

"Authoritative" Jian Yixin went over to look.

Opening the bedroom door, she saw her son lying on the floor, not responding no matter how much they called him.

Although she couldn't tell if it was faked or a real faint.

Her heart was in turmoil: "Prepare the car, take him to the hospital. Hurry and get the young master to the hospital for an examination."

Hospital.

Moli underwent an examination, and Sheng Zerong blamed his wife: "I told you to take it slow and not use force, but you wouldn't listen to me. This child's temper is exactly like yours."

Jian Yixin's eyes were filled with tears: "What choice did I have? I did it all for his own good. Neither the child nor you understand. He knows his health is poor but insists on joining the army. How could I not be worried?"

"Moli said it's a non-combat position. A non-combat position is different from what Litian does. It's just to go to that environment to gain some experience; he won't be training like Litian..."

"Go ahead and blame me, blame me all you want. My heart is already hurting so much anyway, and I don't care if you all keep stabbing knives into my heart."

"You have all the logic on your side, and everything you say is right. Nothing happened this time, but what if something had gone wrong? Who would I go to then?" Jian Yixin was full of grievances.

Her husband couldn't bear to see her sad and coaxed her: "Look at you, I only said one thing and you have a hundred things waiting for me. Alright, I won't talk about you anymore, don't be angry..."

Moli's test results came out: there was nothing wrong, so he had just been faking the illness.

Knowing her son was faking illness, Jian Yixin breathed a sigh of relief.

But no matter how she spoke to her son, he simply ignored her.

She said to the doctor, "Please examine him thoroughly again; since there is nothing wrong, why does he not respond when I call him?"

"The son just doesn't want to pay attention to you," her husband added, twisting the knife from the side.

"Shut up," Jian Yixin glared at her husband with displeasure.

The doctor smiled awkwardly, "Heh heh, what your husband said is... correct!"

Moli ignored her, and Jian Yixin did not compromise either.

She wanted the bodyguards to guard the door of the Hospital Ward and would not allow Moli to go out as he pleased.

She also told her son, "Even if you ignore me, I still won't let you go out; I have already requested leave for you at school, so just stay here with peace of mind."

"Once the military recruitment ends, I will let you return to school."

Moli pretended to be asleep the entire time, but he was anxious and burning with impatience.

No matter what his mother said to him, he did not respond.

Even when his mother deliberately tried to provoke him, he still did not speak.

He could not make a sound; if he did not speak, his mother would not know what he was thinking, but as long as he spoke, it would be easy for his mother to find a flaw!
