As the days went by, the New Year holidays came to an end. Everyone gradually resumed their regular work schedules at the office, Mu Yu included. However, while others were reluctant to leave their holidays behind, Mu Yu was looking forward to going back to work—in fact, she was enthusiastic. Sure enough, she headed out with Qin Jinhuan as early as around 7.00AM. He was about to hold a morning conference with the mid-level management team.
“Get Huang Bo to send you home earlier in the afternoon,” Qin Jinhuan reminded her when he dropped her off at the Bureau.
She chuckled and said, “I’ve got nothing to do if I go home early anyway. I’d rather wait for you to pick me up and head home together.”
He frowned in return. “There’s not much to do, though; there’s no need for you to sit here all day.”
“I’m the only person on duty in the forensic lab right now; how is there not much to do? All right, enough nagging. Quick, you shoul
“Old Madam Xiao is back?”Seeing how she diligently visited Old Madam Xiao’s home every single day, Qin Jinhuan took pity on her and arranged for someone to keep watch 24 hours a day near the old lady’s house. The one who had called her was none other than the watchman, so she was a little excited after hearing the news—to her, Old Madam Xiao was their last hope. “Yes, Madam. Old Madam Xiao is back; should I take you to her immediately?” “No, no. I’ll head over right now.” Mu Yu stopped him at once, worried that his company would frighten the old lady. After a moment’s thought, she then added, “Stay there and don’t let her notice you. Let me know if she suddenly leaves—I’m coming right away.” “Understood.”She hung up and quickly called Rong Jian again. Unexpectedly, he spoke into the phone first. “Old Madam Xiao is back!” Those were Rong Jian’s first words. She was surprised. “Have you been i
“You’re saying that Rubing came across that incident on a Saturday while it was snowing? Was it earlier in the night?” “That’s right!” Mu Yu and Rong Jian both stopped in their tracks and turned around to answer in unison.Rong Jian hastily asked, “Did you see her that night?” “Yes. She stayed here for a long while.”Rong Jian’s expression tensed, and he hastily continued to ask her, “What time did she arrive?”The old woman thought it over for a bit. “Around 9.00PM.” “Are you sure?” Mu Yu was delighted.Rong Jian continued his frantic questions. “What was the exact timeframe? I want an accurate idea of the time!”His sudden raised voice startled the old woman, and she didn’t answer him immediately. After careful contemplation, she finally answered, “She was here from 10.00PM to midnight.” “Are you sure?” Rong Jian—whose body had stiffened for a moment—su
Qin Jinhuan shot straight up. “What happened?”“Doctor Feng left the detention cell on her own, and Chief Rong is going nuts from being unable to find her. Right now, he’s driving all over town by himself in his search for her; I wasn’t able to stop him no matter how I tried. Considering that night has already fallen, Chief Rong is bound to get himself into huge trouble if we don’t stop him now!”“Where is he currently?” Qin Jinhuan had already turned around and headed for the door as he spoke.Having already heard Liu Xiaofan’s words, Mu Yu hastily grabbed her coat and followed Qin Jinhuan. “I’m coming with you, Huan!”Qin Jinhuan had already gotten Rong Jian’s approximate whereabouts from his questioning, and his steps slowed down after he hung up on Liu Xiaofan. He waited for Mu Yu to catch up to him, and then he grabbed her hand before they rushed downstairs together.More than 20 minutes later, Qin Jinhuan
“What is it?” Mu Yu eyed Qin Jinhuan anxiously.“Feng Rubing fell and got hurt.”“Huh? How could that hap—”Rong Jian had already pushed Mu Yu aside before she could finish speaking, and he pressed Qin Jinhuan with utter shock. “Where is Rubing? How could she have fallen and got hurt?” “What’s with the pushing? Can’t you ask nicely?” Qin Jinhuan flew over to help the fallen Mu Yu while he rebuked Rong Jian in displeasure. “Can you even bear the weight of the responsibility if your push killed my child?”It was only then did Rong Jian realize his callousness, and he hastily apologized to Mu Yu by saying, “I’m sorry, Mu Yu. I…”Naturally, Mu Yu understood his feelings. She waved at him as she asked Qin Jinhuan on Rong Jian’s behalf, “Where is Madam Feng now? How is she?”Seeing that Mu Yu was all right, Qin Jinhuan finally looked at Rong Jian. “She’s already been sent to the clinic nearb
“A shocking video?” Mu Yu was so startled that she nearly dropped her phone.“That’s right. If you want to see it, come to Rising Sun Plaza. I’ll be waiting for you by the eastern entrance.”The caller was utilizing a voice changer; Mu Yu was unable to discern whether the caller was a man or a woman, but the other’s mysteriousness had already stirred her wariness. Hence, she immediately questioned the caller and asked, “Who are you? Why do you want me to see this? What exactly are you planning?”The caller paused for a moment before bursting into chuckles. “It turns out that you already know about Young Master Qin’s dirty deeds with Yin Anran. Still, that’s no problem. This has no effect on my deal with you. Me? I just want a spot of money.” At that, the caller paused for a bit and seemingly waited for Mu Yu’s response. When there was no sound from her, the caller finally spoke again. “Since you’re reluctant to part with your money, I’ll
“Young Mistress!” A panic-stricken Huang Bo rushed over and picked up Mu Yu after she had rolled a few times on the ground. Once he noticed that she was already unconscious, he turned pale in horror; he quickly called the emergency center since he had no time to pursue the perpetrator.Just then, two men in black rushed to his side and shouted, “Mr. Huang!” Seeing that they were the two men working under him and were in charge of protecting Mu Yu in secret, he immediately ordered the thinner and taller of the two by saying, “Hurry up and go after that perpetrating vehicle!”“Yes, Mr. Huang!” The thin and tall man immediately got up, ran to the roadside, and tried to hail a taxi. Unfortunately, cars were forbidden to stop on the stretch of road near the Rising Sun Plaza, plus a minimum speed limit had been imposed because of the pedestrian overpass nearby. Since these two men feared that it would be inconvenient for them to protect Mu Yu
“Does she need a blood transfusion or… Hey!” Seeing that the nurse had run away, Rong Jian had no choice but to pause in his speech. Then, he dialed Rong Ying’s number and told her about Mu Yu’s condition before he asked her to come over as soon as possible. “Does Huan know this?” he asked Huang Bo while hanging up the phone. Once Huang Bo nodded, he quickly said, “Don’t tell Grandpa about this. He has a heart condition and can’t get scared.”“I know that,” Huang Bo replied while pacing back and forth restlessly.Rong Jian then looked at the emergency room and sighed anxiously. They seemed to have become regulars at hospitals lately. Qiqi injured her arm first, and then Feng Rubing was hospitalized almost every day; now, it was Mu Yu’s turn to be hospitalized.Half an hour later, Rong Ying—who had learned about Mu Yu’s condition from the hospital’s director—rushed over with her best gynecologist. They entered the emergency room and didn’
“What?” Rong Jian asked at once. Qin Jinhuan didn’t say a word, but he also turned his gaze to Bian Zijun.Bian Zijun wiped the sweat off his forehead while replying quickly, “Boss, Kun had someone check the surveillance footage of the vehicles entering West Rising Sun Avenue via the exit with no surveillance cameras, and it was recorded within 20 minutes after the black Hyundai entered the supermarket’s underground parking lot. Miss Yin’s car is spotted at two minutes and forty-eight seconds.”Qin Jinhuan was astounded. “Anran?!”“Yes, it was Miss Yin Anran’s car. Please take a look at this.” Bian Zijun repeated his affirmation while fiddling with his cell phone. “This is the surveillance footage screenshot that they sent over. From this screenshot, we can clearly see Miss Yin’s car driving into West Rising Sun Avenue via the entrance at the supermarket before it joined the vehicles heading south-north on the avenue.”Qin J
