Feng Rubing gritted her teeth and said the threatening words, making Mu Yu feel a chill down her spine and reflexively took a sharp breath. Feng Rubing immediately noticed that someone was behind her and she instantly ended the call. She turned around with a hint of panic in her eyes. When she saw that it was Mu Yu, she forced herself to remain calm and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Compared to her frosty attitude back in the forensic doctor’s office, she sounded more gentle at the moment.
“Uh, well, Chief Rong requested that I get some information from you. It was the one I mentioned to you yesterday.”
“Sure.” Feng Rubing had started speed walking back to the office when she replied.
Mu Yu followed behind Feng Rubing in silence even though she wanted to ask if she had encountered any troubles. However, she also knew very well that Feng Rubing would not confide in her based on her current relationship with Feng Rubing and Feng
“What?!” Mu Yu sprang up from the sofa in great shock. “A-Are they safe?”“The flight lost touch with the control tower and we have no news on the situation now.” Qin Jinhuan sounded very nervous and his tone was off.“What do we do?”“What could we do? We can only wait for updates.”Mu Yu almost cried when she heard Qin Jinhuan letting out a long sigh. She asked him, “Where are you now?”“I’m on my way to the airport.”“I’ll go with you too!” She immediately clutched her satchel when she commented.“Okay. I will pick you up.”“Do Chief Rong and Zeyu know about it?”“Yes, I have informed them. Zeyu has headed to the airport before us.”“Aright. I will wait for you at the main entrance.” Mu Yu ended the call and turned to Jiang Wenwen. “I have to rush to the airport. Why don’t you go home now?” Then, she dashed out of the office.“What happene
“Usually around seven weeks,” Lei Zhi replied respectfully.“Seven weeks? You mean forty nine days? I’ll have to wait for a little over a month to get the results?” Qin Xiaozhi was obviously in a rush. “Can it be done earlier?”Lei Zhi was put in a difficult position. “Well, that would affect the accuracy of the data” He did not want to shoulder the responsibility of making an error regarding the information of the fetus and disappointing his boss.“When can we determine if she is having twins?”“The earliest would be around forty to fifty days. I can deliver accurate results then.” Lei Zhi sweated in secret once again. He was aware that his boss wanted a great-grandchild very badly, but he underestimated Qin Xiaozhi’s impatience.Qin Xiaozhi was indeed irritated. “Why is everything taking a long time? Can’t I get the results within ten days just like that pregnancy test?”“No,” Lei Zhi replied meekly.
“G-Grandpa.” Qin Chengxi’s voice was feeble and full of respect and fear.“Xi, where are you now?” Qin Xiaozhi sounded very gentle, which was starkly different from his usual solemn and frosty tone. However, his affection only made Qin Chengxi feel uneasy. She stammered, “W-We j-just left Ning City. Uh, at the airport.”“Oh. Stay safe on your way back.”“I-I will. Thank you, grandpa.”“Okay. Come home earlier tonight.”“Huh? H-Home? Where?”“Foolish kid. Of course back to our home.”Go home? Go back to the house where grandpa and Huan are staying? Does grandpa mean that I will be staying with them?It seemed that grandpa still did not know about her gender reassignment. She secretly sweated at the thought of overcoming the obstacle later and immediately became jittery.“Xi? What did your grandpa say?” She felt someone patting her shoulder and jumped a little, only not
“What is it?” Mu Yu stared at Jiang Wenwen worriedly.“What’s the relationship between Wen Zeyu and Director Rong?”“Huh? Well, they…” She instantly looked troubled. “Wenwen, I only knew about Zeyu’s feelings for Ying, or Director Rong, after some time. Before this, after creating the chance for you and Zeyu, I noticed that there’s no progress and thought that you had no chemistry. I then learned that he has feelings for Ying and I didn’t follow up on it. Earlier, when you confessed your feelings for him in front of me with the birthday gift, I had wanted to tell you about his love for Ying but I was cut off by Huan. Then, I rushed to the airport and completely forgot about it. I’m sorry.”“Hey, I’m not here to blame you. What are you sorry for?” Jiang Wenwen waved her hand without a care and soon followed up with a question, “You said Zeyu has feelings for Director Rong. What about her? Does she like him back?”“She doesn’t seem i
The person leading the crowd was the hostile Qin Wentao with Dong Yueyun right behind him. He looked around and dashed to the front of Qin Jinhuan. “Where’s Xi? Hand him over!”Qin Jinhuan looked at him coldly but soon retracted his gaze. Instead of replying, he aloofly drank the wine in his glass.“Qin Jinhuan!” Qin Wentao was completely enraged at the careless attitude. He pointed at Qin Jinhuan and scolded him, “Don’t think that I can’t touch you just because you’re now the president of Qing Tian Group! I am warning you now: If you don’t return him to me, don’t blame me for getting mad at you!”Dong Yueyun dared not yell at Qin Jinhuan. Instead, she cried and pleaded, “Huan, I beg you to return Xi to us. Xi is my life. Without him, I can’t live.”“You can’t live without Xi? Do you even hear your words now?” Wen Zeyu sneered. “Why do you make it sound nice? Everyone knew that you are only after the Qin Family assets under her nam
Mu Yu was comforting Qin Chengxi in the guest room and was surprised when she received the text from Qin Jinhuan telling her that he would leave home. She immediately texted him back to ask about the reason for going out late at night.‘I have some work-related matters. You should rest ahead,’ he replied. After receiving the explanation, Mu Yu instantly walked over to the window. She pulled open the curtains and pushed out the window, from which a chilly winter breeze gushed in with snowflakes, making her tremble in cold.“Wow, that’s a heavy snowfall!” Following behind Mu Yu, Qin Chengxi huddled her arms together in front of the window and exclaimed.“I didn’t expect the snow to be this heavy.” With a frown, Mu Yu closed the windows and lowered her head, focusing on sending a text to Qin Jinhuan, ‘The snow is getting heavy. Stay safe!’Qin Jinhuan responded within seconds, ‘I’ll be careful. Don’t worry, rest early. Kisses.’
“Dad, we didn’t know about Xi’s condition before this.” Before Mu Yu and Qin Jinhuan could get to the first floor for a better look, they heard Qin Wentao’s sneery voice.Why is he here? Mu Yu looked at Qin Jinhuan in shock, but he was expressionless as if he had predicted Qin Wentao’s visit.When they went downstairs, they heard Dong Yueyun’s fawning voice. “Yeah, you can’t blame this on us. Xi never told us about it before.”She earned another round of scolding from Qin Xiaozhi. “Are you saying that Xi is the only one at fault?”“Well…”“Grandpa, it’s my fault! I’m the one to be blamed!” Qin Chengxi sobbed and volunteered to bear all the responsibility. “It’s my fault for not knowing basic biology. My parents had nothing to do with it. The snow is too heavy out there, so please don’t make them leave.”“Yes, yes, Xi was right. She was the one who didn’t know…”“Shut up!” Qin Xiaozhi irritated
“What? There was another murder?” Mu Yu was startled and immediately jumped up from the bed. “Is it another vicious homicide?” The reason she asked the question was that Rong Jian had mentioned Qing Tian Shopping Mall as the crime scene. If this case was similar in nature to the previous two, it could only mean that the perpetrator was targeting Qing Tian Group. Qin Jinhuan, who was half-propped up in bed and scrolling through news on his phone, immediately shifted his gaze to her face.“I haven’t been to the scene, so I don’t know the details for sure. Okay, I’m here now. Come to the scene immediately. Xiaofan will bring the toolbox with him.” After that, Rong Jian ended the call.“Oh, okay.” She gripped tightly onto her phone and quickly left the bed to dress up. At the same time, she shouted at Qin Jinhuan in terror, “A murder happened at the construction site of the Qing Tian Shopping Mall! I have to immediately head over.” “
