“What do you mean?” Mu Yu asked curiously.
“They could be father and daughter.”
“Father and daughter?! Didn’t you say Kiki’s parents died when she was young? So, how could her father just suddenly show up?”
“It was Camphor Forest’s proprietress who told me that Kiki’s parents died when she was young and that her foster parents raised her. She said it was Kiki who told her the story. Therefore, I only said they could be father and daughter because that’s Wang Linhua’s side of the story, which Kiki didn’t mention a thing about. We believe he went to Old Street to see Kiki about this matter.”
“Kiki lives at Old Street?! That’s impossible!” Mu Yu couldn’t believe the derelict Old Street was where Kiki lived.
Liu Xiaofan once stated that many young and pretty girls, who had been working in Camphor Forest for a year or two, should usually be able to quit their jobs as escorts with a few hundred grand, if not millions. Yet Ki
“Chief Rong? What happened?”“Yu, I’m sorry to disturb you at this hour.”“It’s okay, I’m fine. Just tell me what happened,” Mu Yu eagerly asked, as she could tell that Rong Jian was worn out.“I’m going to visit Kiki’s friends to ask them some questions, but it seems like the rest of the team have their hands full with something else. Besides, they’re all ladies, so I was thinking maybe…” Rong Jian extended his note in embarrassment.Mu Yu understood what he meant, whereupon she quickly sprang out of her bed. “Where are you? I’ll come to you now.”“Well, you don’t have to come right now because they all work until midnight. So, they’re usually dead to the world until the afternoon. Tell you what, you’re going to stay home in the morning, and I’ll pick you up in the afternoon,” Rong Jian excitedly said.“No problem.”After hanging up the call, Mu Yu yawned and put her phone down before burying
What are Shang Qi and Qin Chengxi doing scuffling in the woods? Aren’t they classmates?Xi was always known to be timid, and he would often steer clear of trouble with others. Therefore, it seemed like Shang Qi was the one bullying him.Despite her inference, Mu Yu didn’t want to jump to conclusions so soon. Therefore, for the sake of Qin Chengxi, she decided to tiptoe into the woods to find out more about what was going on. At this time, Shang Qi already dragged Qin Chengxi to the railing of a small pavilion in the park center. He was seen placing both his hands on the railing, cornering Qin Chengxi between them.Qin Chengxi appeared frightened while he tried to lean toward the railing. As he resisted Shang Qi’s approaching chest, he weakly asked, “W-What are you doing?”Mu Yu sensed Qin Chengxi’s helplessness. Knowing her guess was right, she quickly stood straight, readying to put a stop to Shang Qi’s actio
Rong Jian was shocked. “Escaped? When did that happen?”“Probably at noon.”Irate, Rong Jian bellowed, “What do you mean by ‘probably at noon’?”Liu Xiaofan was heard explaining himself in a defeated tone, “Isn’t Wang Linhua staying in the dorm of the water delivery company? In order to hide myself, I kept a lookout at the opposite of the company’s entrance…”“Get to the point!”“Okay, okay. After two o’ clock in the afternoon, I was expecting Wang Linhua to show up because his delivery shift is in the afternoon. However, I felt puzzled when I couldn’t see him anywhere, so I ran to check with his company. Only then was I informed that he had taken leave earlier this morning. I checked the company surveillance camera and saw him leaving from the side door. I didn’t even know that there was a side door!”“Shouldn’t you be checking the surveillance cameras around his company for the direction he took when he
"Yu? Yu, what happened?" When Rong Jian saw Mu Yu squatting on the floor, covering her ears while screaming in fear, he panicked and bent down to lift her up. Right when he touched her shoulder, she immediately shoved his hand away and shouted for him to stay away from her.Her unexpected emotional turmoil confused Rong Jian, who frantically took a few steps back and called out to her. However, she ignored her and cowered on the floor. He decided to call Qin Jinhuan straight away.After he called Qin Jinhuan, he turned to Mu Yu, who had now stopped screaming and was sitting on a stone railing near a lawn, looking pale and dazed. “Yu?” Rong Jian attempted to approach her. “Yes?”“Are you okay?” He sighed in relief upon hearing her response. Mu Yu lifted her head and fixed her gaze at him for a while before slowly shaking her head.“Just now…” Rong Jian stopped himself when he realized that it was not the
“What’s the matter?” Qin Jinhuan’s chilly voice made Mu Yu twitch her lips. He was quite masterful at acting as if he could fool anyone into thinking that the caller was not Yin Anran. While she was judging him silently, he told the caller that he was busy and ended the call. Even so, he stared at the phone for a while before putting it away.“Hmph. Don’t act like you don’t care and hang up on her when you secretly wanted to talk to her!” Mu Yu sneered and gave him a side-eye.“It’s a call from Xi.”“Xi?” Mu Yu instantly thought of the fact that Qin Chengxi was sick. “Oh right, Xi said that he has terminal illness. Is that true?”“I’m not sure.”“Didn’t you investigate it?”“That is none of my business.”“How is that none of your business? He’s your younger brother!”“I don’t have a younger brother.”“You…” Mu Yu was rather speechless. “Alright. I admit that his paren
“Xi committed suicide?” Mu Yu felt struck by thunder. The fear from before dissipated as she frantically tugged at Qin Jinhuan’s sleeve. “He isn’t in a critical condition, is he?”Qin Jinhuan ignored her and focused only on the conversation on the phone. Noticing his blank expression, Mu Yu was nervous and worried. Without making a noise, she pressed her ear near his phone to listen to Wen Zeyu’s report.“He’s still in the emergency room and is not out of danger yet. I’m not sure about the reason behind the suicide.”“What did Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun say about it?”“Them?” Wen Zeyu snorted in disdain and fury. “Ying asked them why Xi had committed suicide, but they still had the guts to spew nonsense. They told her that Xi did not commit suicide and that he had accidentally taken too many sleeping pills instead. Don’t you think they are being ridiculous? Xi isn’t a child anymore. Even if he had mistaken the sleeping pills for hi
"Huan, be careful of your hand!" Rong Ying hurriedly grabbed his hand to take a look for any injuries. “Huan, calm down!” Wen Zeyu went forth to pull him back.Qin Jinhuan drew back his hand and pointed at the notebook that almost fell off the table. He then asked Wen Zeyu, "Where did you get that information?"Wen Zeyu instantly beamed with pride. "Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun's health are quite good. Usually they'd come all the way to Ying at Fraternity Hospital for body checkups or for sickness. However, they have never brought Xi to Fraternity Hospital despite his poor health. When you first requested that I check Xi's medical history, I thought that this was rather odd, so I had hackers directly hack Qing Tian Workers’ Hospital system and got my hands on Xi's records in no time. There was indeed a problem with Xi’s health."Qing Tian Group had a Workers' Hospital under its properties with Dong Yueyun as the nominal president. T
“Huan?”“Huan, what happened to Xi?”Wen Zeyu and Rong Ying were confused by the development of events. They could only run after Qin Jinhuan who did not take heed of them. Once in the car, Qin Jinhuan ordered Huang Bo to head toward the Workers’ Hospital.However, soon after, Qin Jinhuan felt that something was off. He immediately called Weng Yun to check the direction of the ambulance sent by Qin Wentao to take Qin Chengxi. “Are you suspecting that they did not send Xi to the Workers’ Hospital?” Wen Zeyu who had followed into the car expressed his surprise. “Even though Xi is out of danger, he is still weak and has to be warded for continuous medical attention. How could they bring him home rashly?”Qin Jinhuan said gloomily, “They probably did not bring Xi home.”“Oh, really? Right, they have to hide Xi somewhere else. Hmph, I don’t care where they hide him because we will find Xi anyway.” Now that Qin
