Of course, Su Li and the others were still unaware of the shock Little Tang Mo had just dealt the police, or of the bloody storm that was about to unfold.
Or rather, they didn't know *yet*.

She had never been overweight to begin with. Not long had passed since the incident with Wu Sheng, and she hadn't had a chance to regain her strength. With Little Tang Mo gone, she grew alarmingly thin.
To Su Li, Little Tang Mo's abduction was nothing short of the end of the world.
Compared to mothers who had completely broken down, like Tongtong's mother, Su Li's composure was terrifying.
But her calmness was only skin-deep. It wasn't composure so much as frayed nerves stretched to their breaking point.
