That's impossible. How could Ji Huaishen tell her something so dangerous?
Seeing that Lu Chi didn't speak, Mu Xiaocheng took a step closer to him, looked up into his eyes, and said, "Your reaction has already told me, classmate Lu Chi."
After saying that, she rubbed her cold hands together, blinked her big, watery eyes, and said slowly, "I am a family member of the victim. Telling me this doesn't count as leaking secrets."
Lu Chi paused for a moment, looked away from her adorable appearance, and said in a serious and solemn tone, "I am on a mission."
The implication is: I don't want to tell you too much.
To avoid being too soft-hearted.
Mu Xiaocheng took a deep breath and decided not to argue with him. She knew that he also had his inconveniences.
She couldn't hold him back either.
She pursed her lips and murmured, "Fine, I can investigate by myself anyway."
Upon hearing her words, Lu Chi suddenly fixed his gaze on her.
It was clearly unbelievable.
"You...you came alone?"
Why would Ji Huaishen let her come alone?
Don't you know that Meng Xunqian's matter is very troublesome?
There are many dangers here, so how exactly does he protect people?
Lu Chi almost cursed. Ji Huaishen was really something!
Mu Xiaocheng nodded; she had come alone.
Ji Huaishen...
The thought of Ji Huaishen made Mu Xiaocheng feel a tightness in her chest.
To be honest, she's not stupid.
She already knew about her brother's disappearance, and Ji Huaishen must have known about it before her, and he must know more about it than she did.
However, he chose not to tell her, and even tried to find ways to keep it from her.
Although she could understand that he was doing this for her own good, Meng Xunqian was her brother.
Her brother, who has been with her, taken care of her, and doted on her since she was a child.
She couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
If she listened to Ji Huaishen and ignored him, would she still have a conscience?
If he's unwilling to help, then she naturally won't force him.
Although her power is insignificant, she will do everything in her power to investigate, while ensuring her own safety.
Lu Chi felt sorry for her when he saw that she looked unwell and was shivering from the cold.
He called out, "Where do you live?"
"The hotel next to the embassy." Staying close to there means we can get updates on any developments beforehand.
Lu Chi sighed helplessly, took off his trench coat, and draped it over her shoulders.
Mu Xiaocheng instinctively wanted to refuse, but Lu Chi pressed her shoulder down.
"Wear it, so you don't freeze. In this foreign land, no one will care if you get sick."
His tone remained as casual and roguish as ever, not serious at all.
But Mu Xiaocheng knew that he cared about her.
She and Lu Chi were just good friends, so she didn't feel awkward at all.
Yes, Lu Chi's clothes are a bit too long.
A black trench coat was draped over her shoulders, reaching just below her calves, making her look like a child wearing an adult's clothes.
Mu Xiaocheng tugged at her clothes to make sure they wouldn't fall off before following Lu Chi away.
The two didn't talk much along the way.
After a long while, Lu Chi seemed to finally lose his temper and said directly, "I'll have someone book you the earliest flight. You should go back right away."
Mu Xiaocheng paused in her steps.
It seems this matter is indeed quite troublesome.
"I won't cause you any trouble. I just want to know how my brother is doing now."
