Ji Huaishen knew that she was not stupid; on the contrary, she was both intelligent and perceptive.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

She said softly, "Trust me, my people are already investigating, and we'll have results soon. Just wait a little longer, okay?"

His voice was deep and pleasant, full of a tone of consultation.

Mu Xiaocheng still chose to believe him.

He told her to wait, so she waited.

I just hope he keeps his word.

"Then tell them to hurry."

My brother and Xia Qianyu are over there, in a foreign country. What will my uncle's family do if something really happens to them?

And then there's my maternal grandfather; he's getting old, and he definitely won't be able to handle such a blow.

Ji Huaishen patted her back gently and said softly, "I know."

Hearing his reply, Mu Xiaocheng stepped out of his embrace and looked up at him: "Then I'll go back to my room to sleep first. If there's any news, remember to tell me as soon as possible."

Ji Huaishen lowered his head, meeting her misty, moist eyes: "If it's the first thing, do you want... to come with me?"

"Together, together with what?"

Mu Xiaocheng blinked. What did he mean?

In an instant, her drowsiness vanished.

Ji Huai kissed her forehead, hugged her waist, and whispered in her ear, "I will be good and won't touch you."

boom!

I will be very good!

Depend on!

Does this sound like something a domineering CEO would say?

Mu Xiaocheng's face instantly turned red. Ji Huaishen really had no bottom line.

They could say such things just to keep her here.

She pushed him away and looked at him warily: "I... I don't really trust you."

After saying that, she quickly turned around and ran away.

Ji Huaishen looked at the doorway and smiled, thinking, "What a silly little thing."

He only said one sentence, and he hadn't even done anything yet, but she was already so scared.

This is for the best, it will allow her to think about him more, even if she's afraid.

When Mu Xiaocheng left Ji Huaishen's room, things weren't actually as Ji Huaishen had imagined.

She went back to her room, packed her things quickly without taking any clothes, and booked the next available flight on her phone.

With a backpack on, I tiptoed out of Langming Garden late at night.

She trusted Ji Huaishen, but she was more worried about her brother.

so……

—

When Ji Huaishen learned of her departure, Mu Xiaocheng had already boarded the plane.

Chi Yan looked at the man standing in the hall with some fear, not daring to utter a sound, and secretly glanced at Shang Qi beside her.

He kept giving him meaningful glances.

But Shang Qi was like a robot, devoid of emotion and showing no reaction whatsoever.

The late banquet was thus abandoned.

He didn't know why his sister-in-law suddenly went to the United States, and he didn't dare to ask.

The hall was extremely quiet at that moment.

Ji Huaishen stared at his phone, which displayed a text message Mu Xiaocheng had sent him before boarding the plane.

“Mr. Ji, let me make this clear first, it’s not that I don’t trust you. I’m just a little worried about my brother and Sister Qianyu. I’m an adult, I won’t put myself in any danger. You don’t need to worry, I’m just going over there to find out what’s going on, I won’t do anything stupid. If my brother is alright, I’ll stay there for a few days, and you can come find me when you’re done with your work.”

Heh~

Ji Huaishen smirked, his large hand gripping the phone tightly, as if he were about to crush it in the next second.

He ultimately underestimated how much she cared about Meng Xunqian.

For Meng Xunqian, regardless of the danger, she would resolutely embark on a journey to a foreign land alone.

He was the only one left behind.
