Mu Nanxun sat there blankly, never having felt so utterly despondent.
"Boss, I'm sorry. I could only stop it."
Xiao Fang knelt on the ground in agony, kneeling before Mu Nanxun. The latter remained silent, his icy aura preventing anyone from approaching.
Xiao Fang knew that stopping Mu Nanxun would make him angry and furious. But even if he had to choose again, he would still stop Mu Nanxun.
When they arrived, the fire was raging. Rushing in without extinguishing the fire would only mean certain death. So, he had no choice but to stop them.
In the distance, Qingyun and several men in black emerged from the burnt-out house and waited, heads bowed, saying nothing.
Mu Nanxun looked somewhat unsteady and walked forward in a daze.
"Qingyun, have you found her? Where is she?"
"Young Master..."
"Tell me quickly, where is Yi Yi? Is she still alive? Or is she not even here, and she's somewhere else? Tell me!"
Mu Nanxun gripped Qingyun's arm tightly, pressing him for answers.
Qingyun paused for a moment, and the people behind him also lowered their heads and remained silent.
"say!".
Mu Nanxun's eyes turned bloodshot, and he went berserk.
Qingyun seemed to have made a great decision, and said, "Young Master, can you accept whatever the outcome may be?"
"What do you mean...?"
Mu Nanxun suddenly had a bad feeling.
When he arrived, he vaguely saw Yi Yi in the fire. That's why he rushed into the flames without hesitation. Later, as the fire was extinguished, he reassured himself that he must have been mistaken. Yi Yi wasn't inside at all, she couldn't be!
Qingyun paused for a moment before continuing.
"Young Master, if you can't accept this, I won't tell you even if you kill me. So, you must promise me that you can accept whatever the outcome!"
Mu Nanxun's hands fell limply to his sides as he stared at Qingyun, his thin lips moving as he spoke each word.
"Okay, I accept!"
"Young master, come with me."
Qingyun nodded and led Mu Nanxun past the others to a rock nearby.
There were two people guarding the area, and a white cloth covered the ground. Inside the white cloth...
"What's the meaning?"
Mu Nanxun dared not approach any further, staring blankly ahead, his face filled with undisguised pain.
"Young Master, this is the body we found inside. When we found it, the person was already dead, unrecognizable, and we couldn't even tell if it was a man or a woman..."
At this point, Qingyun paused.
Because he could clearly see Mu Nanxun's pale lips and tearful eyes.
The young master of the Mu family is a god-like figure in the business world. No matter how great the difficulties he encountered or how serious the injuries he suffered, he never shed a single tear.
But now, he is as fragile as an autumn leaf. A gentle breeze will send him fluttering down.
He pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
His legs felt like they were made of lead and he couldn't lift them. Blood was still seeping from the wounds on his feet, but he could no longer feel any pain.
His Yi Yi, with her every smile and frown, was so vivid and lively, how could she have been burned so badly that she was unrecognizable?
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible...
It took him an unknown amount of time to finally reach the corpse.
He tentatively reached out his hand, extended it in front of the white cloth, and then abruptly withdrew it.
He was afraid that what was under the white sheet really was Yi Yi...
