"As far as I know, Nan Nan has only offended Lu Wei so far because of asking for money. Lu Wei is a man who puts profit first. Do you think he will obediently return the 500,000 yuan he got?"
"Of the 500,000, he gave 200,000 to his girlfriend, Hu Die, and Hu Die's family can't afford to pay him back in the short term. Nan Nan is also pressuring him for repayment. What do you think he will do?"
Taking a risk?
Mu's mother still couldn't accept that her daughter would have a relationship with a man before marriage.
"But... this is based on the premise that he has something on Nan Nan. If he doesn't have anything on Nan Nan, then what you're saying doesn't hold water."
Jian Yu felt somewhat helpless about Mu Nannan's parents' persistence. Their daughter had been missing for so long, shouldn't they be thinking it's better to be safe than sorry and try to get in touch with Lu Wei?
"I've already reminded you of what I needed to remind you of. If you don't believe me, then forget it."
Jian Yu hung up the phone and went downstairs, eating his meal absentmindedly.
Mu's mother sat in the police station and refused to leave. The police couldn't persuade her to leave, and due to regulations, they couldn't file a case.
Jian Yu used the surveillance video to find Mu Nannan's whereabouts yesterday afternoon.
After Mu Nannan met with Lu Wei, she came out looking completely lost and dejected.
Even his back is a little hunched.
She stood by the roadside for a long time before finally hailing a taxi and heading straight to the outskirts.
The surveillance footage clearly captured Mu Nannan getting out of the car.
After she got out of the car, the driver turned around and went back.
Mu Nannan stood there, her eyes filled with a resolute determination. After a long while, she strode into the overgrown housing development.
Before long, a strong wind picked up on the ground, and flying sand and stones obscured the surveillance footage.
Soon after, a torrential downpour followed.
The whole scene was a mess, and it was impossible to tell where anything was.
The wind and rain stopped in the morning, and there was no sign of Mu Nannan around.
There were no vehicles passing by.
I wonder if they're still inside the building right now?
Jian Yu kept recalling Mu Nannan's fearless gaze.
Finally, I went upstairs to change my clothes.
When she got to the door, she found George waiting for her.
"I knew you couldn't just ignore it."
He tossed the car keys aside. "Let's go!"
The two headed straight for an abandoned residential complex in the suburbs.
They found the person they were looking for in the building where Mu Nannan's cell phone signal disappeared.
Mu Nannan sat in the corner with her knees drawn up to her chest, staring blankly out the window. She didn't react at all to the noises around her.
Jian Yu noticed her backpack next to her, with a corner of an envelope peeking out from inside.
Jian Yu reached out and took it out, then opened it and started reading.
It turned out to be a suicide note.
It says she felt sorry for her parents and asks them not to blame her.
They even said they would repay their great kindness in their next life.
The reason for the suicide was not stated.
Jian Yu searched through her bag but couldn't find the USB drive.
I just picked up her phone, ready to turn it on.
Jian Yu suddenly stopped and turned around. Mu Nannan was staring straight at her.
His eyes were swollen like walnuts.
My mouth is very dry, and there are several bloody cuts on it.
Jian Yu put down his phone and quietly looked back.
Mu Nannan recalled that Jian Yu had helped Lu Wei cheat on her last time.
Suddenly, she burst into tears.
Despite her stiff body, she reached out and hugged Jian Yu. "Jian Yu, what should I do?"
Jian Yu waited until she had cried enough before placing the phone in her hand.
"Call your mom back, she's really worried about you."
Upon hearing that she was supposed to call her mother, Mu Nannan shook her head repeatedly, "I embarrassed her, I didn't dare tell her."
"Your mother would rather you be safe and sound than do anything shameful."
"This time is different. If my mom finds out I did this, she'll kill me. Waaaaaah..."
"So you're just going to let Lu Wei off so easily?"
Mu Nannan's swollen eyes widened instantly. Had Lu Wei revealed her secret?
She's finished!
Mu Nannan's desperate eyes startled Jian Yu. "What did Lu Wei threaten you with those videos for?"
It's really public!
Mu Nannan closed her eyes and buried her head in her arms, sobbing, "Waaaaaah..."
"Don't overthink it. Lu Wei wouldn't dare to release your video. He's only threatening you quietly."
Mu Nannan slowly raised her head. "Really?"
"Yes. Tell me, what did he ask you to do?"
Mu Nannan pondered for more than ten minutes.
George was so anxious he wanted to crack open her head to see what was inside.
"A few days ago, Lu Wei came to the vicinity of my company and had someone slip me a USB drive, telling me I absolutely had to watch it. When I got home and looked at it, I was stunned. I had no idea he had recorded a video. I didn't know what he wanted, so I unblocked his number. He seemed to have anticipated my call. On the phone, he told me to come to him at a hotel near my company. When I arrived, he revealed his true intentions. First, he wanted me to drop the lawsuit and not pursue the 500,000 yuan anymore; second, he wanted another 500,000 yuan as compensation. If I met these two demands, he would destroy the video. Otherwise, he would release it so everyone could see me like that. Waaah..."
“He only wanted cash, so I had to come back alone without telling my parents. I withdrew the cash and arranged a meeting place with him. After I gave it to him yesterday, he actually said he wanted to keep the video forever.”
“I was terrified. He said it was better to keep it than to delete it.”
"He's planning to use the video to threaten me for the rest of my life."
A lifetime is too long; Mu Nannan cannot bear such heavy pressure.
I was having a moment of despair and ended up here.
I had just finished writing my will when the wind picked up.
Already lacking in resolve, Mu Nannan's legs went weak from the strong wind, and she decided to wait until the wind stopped before making a decision.
That night, Mu Nannan thought about many things.
More than anything, she didn't want to die.
She is so young and has a long road ahead of her.
But she didn't dare tell her parents about it, and she couldn't think of a solution.
If Jian Yu were here, that would be great, but she broke off her friendship with him.
Seeing that the weather was improving, she still didn't dare to take that step and continued to hide like an ostrich.
God knows how excited she was the moment Jian Yu appeared.
Jian Yu had considered that Lu Wei might threaten Mu Nannan to drop the lawsuit, but she never expected that he would dare to extort her.
"Where's the USB drive Lu Wei gave you?"
"I smashed it and threw it into the park's pond."
Jian Yu nodded. "I understand. I'll help you with the video. Go home and get some rest now."
"Really? How are you going to solve this?"
“I have a friend who can help you destroy those videos.”
"Will anyone find out?"
Jian Yu knew that her biggest worry was what would happen if her parents found out.
"No, your family won't know."
Mu Nannan gripped Jian Yu's arm tightly. "Really?"
"Um."
Mu Nannan was so moved that tears streamed down her face, and she covered her mouth with her hands and cried.
Jian Yu stopped comforting her and started deleting videos from Lu Wei's computer and phone.
The screen is spinning rapidly.
Mu Nannan grabbed Jian Yu's arm again, "Could your friend help me get that 500,000 yuan in cash back?"
“As long as I get it back, that cash will be my payment to him.”
"I don't want to let that bastard Lu Wei get away with it."
