…
Mu Jinyan hurried to the hospital.
But he was still too late. The hospital's cameras did not capture any useful footage. He could only know based on the doctor's confession that Shi Wuqing suddenly jumped out of the window on the 18th floor.
But there was no blood on the ground, and no one was to be found anywhere.
Shi Wuqing disappeared.
"What... is going on?" Father Meng looked at Mu Jinyan with a gloomy expression and couldn't help but ask.
Mu Jinyan rubbed his temples tiredly and said in a low voice: "Meng Xi...Meng Wuqing is in the hospital and has disappeared."
Mother Meng was terrified and unsure: "Is there something wrong with that doctor?"
Mu Jinyan nodded, but the problem was not with the doctor, because that person didn't know what was going on either.
But before he could say anything, his cell phone rang.
Meng's father and mother had a lot of questions and worries, but they could only watch the young man answer the phone first.
It is unknown what was said over there.
Mu Jinyan's expression was impatient - Meng's father and mother had never seen him show this kind of behavior in front of others, which showed how bad his mood was.
The man said, "We'll talk about the rest later. I don't need any evidence, just suspicion is enough. Have you found anyone over there?"
“…”
"Then take them all."
“…”
"I'll go now."
Mu Jinyan's words became colder and colder, and both Meng's father and mother had a bad premonition in their hearts, as if something terrible was about to happen.
But after Mu Jinyan hung up the phone, he didn't have time to explain so much to them.
"I have a suspect. Before Meng Wuqing disappeared, I had already sent my men to search there." Mu Jinyan threw the phone into his pocket and strode out.
"If I have any clues, I will contact you immediately."
Meng's father and mother looked at each other, with deep worry in their eyes.
Mu Jinyan left the hospital and took a car directly to the Luo family.
"Sir, according to our investigation, Young Master Meng has been in contact with the Luo family since last month. According to the confessions of the people we captured, they saw Young Master Meng at a bar on the 21st of last month. He was dressed as a woman and seemed to be involved in some kind of business with Luo Jiu, whom he addressed as 'Master.'"
Mu Jinyan felt that the bow tie around his neck was a little tight, and it took him a few seconds to realize that it was because he was not breathing.
"We contacted the hacker and recovered the deleted surveillance footage from the bar. We discovered that Young Master Meng had been to the bar several times before. Some members of the organization had already tacitly accepted his identity and allowed him to come and go as he pleased."
What does this mean?
It was clear that Shi Wuqing was not just cooperating with Luo Jiu, because it was impossible for there to be such deep trust in a cooperative relationship.
When the man in the driver's seat said this, his tone was cautious, fearing that Mu Jinyan would overreact.
However, the man in the back seat was very calm, as if he had known it for a long time.
He reached out and loosened his tie. His voice was devoid of his usual smile, only a flat tone and endless majesty remained:
"what else?"
The man in the driver's seat said: "The bar has been taken down. None of the people inside escaped. They have all been arrested and are being interrogated."
"It will take some time to completely control the Luo family. In addition, I received intelligence that Luo Jiu is missing and no longer with the family. However, the authenticity of the information remains to be confirmed."
Mu Jinyan lowered his head, his stomach twitching slightly. He took a deep breath before he had the strength to speak:
"Um."
At this point, the facts were laid out before him.
No, or rather, everything had become clear as early as when the conversation between Shi Wuqing and the doctor and Luo Jiu's voice came from the earphone in his ear.
But the truth was too horrible, so horrible that even Mu Jinyan, for a moment, hoped it was false.
This truth, whether for him, Xi, Xi's parents, or Shi Wuqing himself, is as cruel as a devil's game.
But the facts will not change because of human will, Mu Jinyan is very clear about this.
That's why... he felt dizzy and a chill spread through his bones.
He thought that everything was under his control, and letting Shi Wuqing out was just to lure the enemy and would not cause any harm to her - or maybe there was some ridiculous idea that he deserved to be injured.
But he never imagined that the truth... would be like this.
Only at this moment did he realize what an unforgivable mistake he had made despite claiming to be a master strategist.
——But no matter what, the most important thing now is to find the person first!
Mu Jinyan unbuttoned the first button of his shirt to keep breathing smoothly.
"Follow my instructions..."
There was a cold fire burning in his obsidian eyes. The stronger the panic and worry were, the stronger the resentment and murderous intent were.
The man in the driver's seat took a glance through the mirror and knew that the Luo family, which had been passed down for more than two hundred years, would disappear from this world in the near future.
Mr. Mu is unlikely to take the initiative to make enemies because his mother is the soul of a wrongfully deceased person. Although he seems to be powerful and willful, he actually has principles and bottom lines. Often, he will not take action if it is just an uncertain charge. That is also what Mrs. Mu, as a mother, expects of her son.
But today, for another person, Mr. Mu seemed to no longer care about that bottom line.
Maybe—I already regret not doing it sooner.
…
It was not until the evening that Meng Xi, who had been crying on the ground holding her sister, calmed down a little.
But this fragile calm could only make him stop crying and wailing.
That kind of sharp pain still follows him every moment and every second, making him tremble uncontrollably.
The moonlight quietly penetrated the clouds and shone on the two of them. The night wind was cold and desolate.
Meng Xi could feel that the person in his arms had not moved a single finger since he had held her until now.
Just like a real puppet in a window.
If it weren't for those beautiful eyes, still open, it would be no different from death.
Meng Xi's mind was in a mess, but there was one idea that was the clearest.
This can't go on any longer...
I need to find a way to help my sister recover first...
Meng Xi sat up with red eyes.
Go find Mu Jinyan, he must have a way...
As soon as this thought came to mind, Meng Xi saw that the lifeless girl suddenly blinked twice quickly.
"Qingqing?!" Meng Xi was surprised and happy.
The girl ignored him and struggled to get out of his arms.
There was a cold and inorganic light in those purple eyes.
