Mo Jing was exhausted from days of travel. After learning that she was not in danger, Ling Moyuan stayed with her for a while before finally sending her back, half forcibly and half persuading her.
Mo Jing arrived at the hospital early in the morning. Looking at Xu Yan, who was still unconscious, her brows were deeply furrowed, as if she had dreamt of something terrible.
Mo Jing gently grasped Xu Yan's hand, calming her down, though she felt a pang of heartache.
With his other hand, he tidied Xu Yan's slightly disheveled hair. Xu Yan usually loved to look her best, and although she was no longer in mortal danger, she was still somewhat pale. Yesterday, Zou Shijie had also told her that Xu Yan had bruises on her body, as if she had been beaten before.
Lin Hao asked the person who saved Xu Yan yesterday. According to him, when he heard someone jump into the river, he subconsciously looked up at the bridge and saw three or four people. However, because it was too dark and the distance was too far, he couldn't even tell whether they were men or women, let alone what they looked like.
This means the trail has gone cold again.
However, Xu Yan is usually low-key and rarely makes enemies, but recently she seems to have offended quite a few people. The first one to bear the brunt is Su Yongkang.
A despicable person like him must be feeling resentful that he was caught stealing chickens and ended up losing out instead.
It's unlikely that this will be the end of it. If he can't catch himself, he'll go after his own friend. That's the kind of thing he's capable of doing.
Mo Jing looked up at the person who gently grasped her shoulder. Ling Moyuan's angular face still held an arrogant expression, but a hint of tenderness flickered in his dark, stone-like eyes as he looked at Mo Jing.
"I guessed you'd be here. Are you wondering who the murderer is?" Ling Moyuan pulled up a chair and sat down next to Mo Jing.
"You also think Xu Yan was murdered? Then who do you think it could be?" Mo Jing knew that Ling Moyuan had excellent reasoning skills; he could see through many clues that she hadn't thought of at a glance.
Ling Moyuan raised a smile and said with certainty, "Su Yongkang's daughter, Su Qing."
Mo Jing was somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting Ling Moyuan to focus his attention on Su Qing.
“I know you probably think the murderer is Su Yongkang, but Su Yongkang's feud with you is nothing more than business matters. The news he caused recently has already exhausted him enough. If he makes any move during this sensitive time, it's easy for someone to seize on it again. Don't forget, there are more than just us who want to bring down someone like him.” Ling Moyuan said calmly, his thin lips pressed together. “So at this time, Su Yongkang would definitely not dare to take any more risks. But Su Qing is different. She doesn't have so many concerns. If she knew what you did to the Su family, she would definitely want revenge. And since you were away recently, Xu Yan became her best target.”
It has to be said that Ling Moyuan's analysis was very thorough. Mo Jing had never thought about Su Qing before. After not seeing her for so long, she thought Su Qing had learned her lesson, but she didn't expect her to be even more ruthless.
A flash of cold light passed through Mo Jing's eyes, and her whole body radiated a chill that could make a person shiver.
Su Qing and Su Yongkang are indeed family; they kidnap people all the time.
What I just can't understand is what they did to Xu Yan that made her choose to jump into the river and commit suicide rather than be caught by them.
