Shi Youxi pushed him away, ran over and saw the candy scattered on the ground. The phone he was holding showed that he was on a call.
"I, I'll go get someone, let's go find them!" Guan Shiyan was about to run to the front hall to get someone, but Shi Youxi stopped him.
"Don't shout!"
Today is Mother's birthday banquet. If my sister ruins the banquet, it won't be Bai Shengsheng who will do anything to Mu Yiran, but Shi Yan who will do something to Mu Yiran.
"We'll split up and search, then call when we find it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Youxi headed towards the stairs.
Guan Shiyan stared blankly for a long time, his eyes red with tears, before finally picking up all the candies, slinging his backpack over his shoulder, and starting to search the floors of the villa.
Shi Youxi opened all the rooms on the second floor, messed up his carefully styled hair, and carelessly threw his suit jacket on the floor.
Can't find it!
Can't find it!
I can't find my sister no matter what I do.
The panic and violence in his heart intensified. If only he were stronger, he wouldn't be so timid and he wouldn't let his sister face any unexpected risks.
He shouldn't be unable to find his sister.
"Sister, sister, sister...where are you?!"
Just as Shi Youxi decided to ask Shi Yan for help, the phone call, which had been busy, was finally connected.
"Hey! Sister, you—"
"Shi Youxi, you can't recognize my voice, but you should know who I am."
A mechanical male voice came out in a flat tone.
"Your dear sister is with me."
"……Where are you……"
Shi Youxi's phoenix eyes were red. He grabbed his phone and rushed downstairs. He was only thinking about Mu Yiran and didn't notice that the lobby on the first floor had been filled with many people from the Shi family.
The tattooed man saw Shi Youxi walk towards the back door without turning around, calling out, "Young Master—"
Shi Yan walked over with a gloomy face. "You mean, Cheng Mo has entered the country?"
The tattooed man: "Yes, sir."
"He has changed his identity several times. Our people only confirmed today that he is already in Libya. As for whether he is in the capital, we have not yet found any definite trace of him."
Shi Yan said, "Oh...is that so?"
Shi Yan lowered his eyes, holding a jewelry box in his hand. Inside was a rare pink diamond that he had just acquired at auction, which had not yet been polished.
This is one of the gifts I'm going to give to Bai Shengsheng.
But I'm afraid his Sheng Sheng is receiving gifts from other people and doesn't need this anymore...
"Oh……"
"Leave some people here, and the rest block all the exits."
"Yes, sir."
Following Bao Huiyi's instructions, Shi Youxi arrived at the back door. As soon as she walked over, she saw a maid anxiously peeking out from the doorway.
Seeing Shi Youxi approach, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Young Master, I just saw a boy and a young lady dragging someone out of here!"
Shi Youxi gripped the maid's hand tightly, so hard that the maid looked pained. "Who is it! Who was the person they dragged away!"
The maid, Se Se, spoke up: "To me, it looks like Miss Mu..."
The boy ran past him and went outside. As soon as he stepped out, he was struck hard on the back of the head. Shi Youxi struggled and fell to the ground. Before he lost consciousness, he vaguely saw a figure.
Shi Youxi grabbed the person's shoe: "Sister..."
She completely fainted.
Mu Yiran was sobered up by being splashed with wine.
She was splashed twice; she didn't wake up the first time.
"Heh, what, are you going to start playing dead now, and then go tell Shi Youxi that I framed you?"
Hengqian babbled incoherently, and Mu Yiran couldn't hear a word she heard. Her ears were ringing, and all she could hear was a buzzing sound.
Mu Yiran looked around; it looked like an attic or a storage room.
"However, your plan won't work this time. Shi Youxi won't hear your cries for help."
Hengqian lifted her face and smiled smugly, "Because you're going to die."
Mu Yiran: "...Is that so?"
Putting aside how he offended Hengqian, it's absurd that she would want to kill him just because he once overshadowed her.
And that was at the Shi family's house, which makes it even more outrageous.
She left Shi Youxi's side less than ten minutes ago, yet he still managed to search for her for ages. He must have already turned the entire villa upside down by now, and he should be coming back soon.
She didn't seem frightened by Hengqian's words at all; on the contrary, she even seemed to be mocking them.
Are you laughing at me? Do you think I'm lying to you?
Mu Yiran was about to say, "Although what you say sounds fake, I can reluctantly believe it for the time being."
He got slapped across the face.
"Holy crap..."
The slap brought Mu Yiran to her senses. Her teeth ached, and a warm liquid trickled from the corner of her mouth.
"You...you have a simian crease? That hurts so much."
"Pain? That's nothing!"
"It's not even a fraction of the pain I suffered that day! And that's far from enough..."
Hengqian picked something up from the floor, and Mu Yiran looked closely and saw that it was a brick.
Mu Yiran: "..... w(?Д?)w"
"Seriously, classmate?! Are you serious?!"
"Heh, aren't you always showing off, bragging about how well you play the piano, even better than me! You love to impress others, don't you?"
"Calm down, classmate. We're still in the villa. The young master will be here soon. If he sees you, you're finished, classmate. I'm worried about you!"
Mu Yiran was talking nonsense with a straight face. Her hands were tied behind her back with hemp rope, and the knot was so tight that Mu Yiran couldn't untie it no matter what she did.
"If you want to teach me a lesson, pick another auspicious, sunny day. Today isn't a good day; fighting is forbidden! Didn't you want me to apologize?"
"I'll kneel down and apologize! Or you can make me apologize however you want, even apology while standing upside down is fine!"
No matter how sweet-talking Mu Yiran was, Heng Qian just looked at her with a cold smile, throwing the brick in her hand aside.
She turned around and picked up a bigger one.
"Don't think I don't know you're deliberately stalling for time."
"..."
"It's impossible for Shi Youxi to come and save you; he can't."
Bao Hui also promised Heng Qian that he would hold Shi Youxi back, allowing Heng Qian to act freely. Even if she killed Mu Yiran, it wouldn't be a problem. Bao Hui also had a way to clean up the mess and prevent it from being traced back to her.
Mu Yiran winced in pain as Mu Yiran's lips were pinched. "What do you mean he can't come? What did you do to him!"
"Tch, what a competent actor. He still acts like he really cares about Shi Youxi."
"Speak the hell Mandarin! What did you do to the young master?!"
“If you dare touch him, the Shi family will definitely kill you both—” The brick was raised high and then smashed hard into Mu Yiran’s hand.
"Ahhh!"
You should worry about yourself!
Bricks fell one after another, accompanied by Hengqian's almost frantic murmurs.
"I'll let you play the piano!"
"I'll let you play the piano!"
"Keep playing! Keep playing!"
"You're so smug now, let's see how you play it now!"
It hurts! It hurts!
The pain from the fracture, my hand, and my head felt like I was being split in two.
Mu Yiran was in so much pain that she couldn't scream. Her hands were a bloody mess, and the numb pain made her feel like she was about to lose consciousness.
Hengqian stopped to catch her breath. She looked at Mu Yiran's eyes, which were filled with tears, turned her head, picked up the wine bottle on the ground, and smashed it on the ground.
Red wine spilled all over the floor, and the glass bottle shattered into pieces.
Mu Yiran watched helplessly as Heng Qian selected a shard of glass and walked towards her.
"You even dared to seduce Musk! You slut!"
Hengqian muttered to herself, "Is this how you seduce Shi Youxi? How can a servant like you want to climb into the bed of the young master of the Shi family!"
Mu Yiran: "...Are you crazy?"
Is this the normal thought process of a person?
How old is Shi Youxi? How old is she!
The four siblings are siblings, and the five could be mother and son!
Mu Yiran never imagined that her affection for Shi Youxi, which she cherished like a beloved son, could be so tainted in Heng Qian's eyes.
"Shi Youxi is mine! He's going to be my fiancé! Only I am good enough for him!"
Mu Yiran: "??!!!"
Holy crap?
My ears are dirty.
Mu Yiran was now certain that Heng Qian had truly gone mad; how dare this person steal her little beauty!
She doesn't care what others do.
As the parent who had raised Shi Youxi for four months, she was the first to disagree.
Mu Yiran took a deep breath and said, "You're dreaming. Take a good look at what you're holding."
"You don't deserve it."
Heng Qian froze for a moment, then fiercely shoved the glass into Mu Yi Ran's eyes!
"bite--"
The alarm blared like thunder.
Hengqian and Muyiran both froze and looked up.
"What is this... what's going on?"
Hengqian panicked. She ran to the door and opened it. The light shone in harshly, accompanied by white smoke.
Outside, there was chaos, and Mu Yiran could hear the cacophony of screams even from inside.
"Fire!"
"Fire! Everyone, exit through the main gate one by one! Don't rush!"
"Where's the young master? Haven't we found him yet? Keep searching, hurry up!"
Mu Yiran, who was panting heavily in pain, stiffened upon hearing this.
Shi Youxi didn't leave either; he was still in the burned-down villa!
