“Mu Yu? Mu Yu? Are you there?” Wen Zeyu’s hasty shouts instantly brought Mu Yu back to her senses. She hopped off the bed, flustered, and briskly put on her shoes while asking edgily where Qin Jinhuan was.
“Yu, where are you going?”
“What happened?”
Mu Ziyao and his wife rushed to catch up with her when they heard the commotion.
“I have some errands to do,” she answered ambiguously as she rushed out the door. She immediately took the stairs because the elevator stayed on the top floor, and swiftly arrived at the staircase before rushing toward the entrance. She called a cab, and hurried toward An River, the location provided by Wen Zeyu.
Just as she got into the car, she received a call from her father. She did not want to worry her parents, so she made up an excuse, saying that she needed to return to her workplace due to a work emergency. After she hung up, she clutched her phone and urged the driver to speed up. De
“Where are you going?”Despite her injured legs, Mu Yu was wearing slippers. And with the road up the embankment being quite difficult to navigate, she had a weird walking posture as she struggled to catch up with Qin Jinhuan.Qin Jinhuan finally stopped, and replied when they finally arrived on top of the embankment, “I’m going to work on some things.”“What things?”“Send her back.”Only when Mu Yu heard Qin Jinhuan's order did she notice Wen Zeyu approaching them. Apparently, Wen Zeyu was still worried, so he made Bian Zijun and the others leave while he stayed back.“Where are you going then?” Wen Zeyu asked.“Back to the office.”“Alright then, I’ll go with you.” Wen Zeyu took out his phone excitedly. “I’ll call Zijun to come and pick Mu Yu up.”Qin Jinhuan turned his head to glance at Mu Yu. “We’ll go to the office after sending her back home.”“Sur
Mu Yu saw a bundle of lifeline made of steel wire. Back then, when Xin Yihan was helping her with her studies, he had also taught her a lot about safety precautions. She had then shared those with her parents. At her insistence, her parents bought an entire set of home fire safety equipment, such as lifeline, fire extinguisher, glare flashlight, and safety hammer in case of any contingencies. She didn’t expect her parents to bring it along with them despite moving into a new home. After locking the door from inside the room, Mu Yu took the lifeline with her. She set up the tripod stand in its position, fastened the safety belt on herself and hung it by the hook. After wearing her slip-proof gloves, she opened the windows, and felt a sudden surge of dizziness washed over her as she leaned over to look out of the window. This was the tenth floor.If anyone were to fall from here, they would be a goner. Her father had
After around ten minutes, Mu Yu took the things she needed, and carefully put them into her bag. She grabbed her bag and opened the door quietly, before tiptoeing through the living room and sneaking out of the house. By the time she knocked on Wen Zeyu’s door, it was already three o’clock in the morning. However, the person who opened the door for her was Qin Jinhuan. He was still in his day clothes, hair slightly disheveled, and he looked distraught with his bloodshot eyes. It was obvious that he hadn’t been sleeping. “Why aren’t you asleep?” She was very surprised. “Why are you here at this hour?” He was also caught by surprise. “I was worried about you.”He forced a smile. “What is there to worry about?”“I have something for you.” Mu Yu pulled him into the house. She poured out everything from her bag, and pushed them to him. There were certificates of ownership for two
“Who committed a murder? Who did they kill?” Qin Jinhuan grabbed Wen Zeyu, and asked desperately just after he opened the door. “It’s… It’s Cheng… Xiang…” Wen Zeyu’s neck was hurting from being choked by Qin Jinhuan, to the point where it was difficult for him to even talk. “He m-may have killed…”“Huan, let go of Zeyu first. Let him speak slowly.” Mu Yu stepped forward and held Qin Jinhuan’s hand. She then looked at Wen Zeyu nervously, and waited for him to speak. “Speak up! Who did he kill?” Qin Jinhuan was impatient. “Yi Yunzhe!”Mu Yu was astonished. “Why did he want to kill Yi Yunzhe?” Isn’t Cheng Xiang one of Yi Yunzhe’s men? Is it because Yi Yunzhe didn’t fulfill his side of the deal for Cheng Xiang after his task was completed? Is that why…“Is he dead?” She looked back at Wen Zeyu when Qin Jinhuan asked. Wen Zeyu shook his head. “I’m still unsure about
“See me?” Qin Jinhuan was really surprised. “What for?” Wen Zeyu shook his head. “Grandpa didn’t say anything. He only said that he wants to see you, and asked you to go to the inpatient ward of the City Hospital immediately to meet him."“Inpatient ward?” Qin Jinhuan’s expression changed drastically, and he ran out of the house. Mu Yu also noticed that something was wrong, and proceeded to follow him. Hu Meiling grabbed her. “Hey, Yu, you…”“Mom, Huan’s grandpa…” Mu Yu wanted to explain and say ‘Huan’s grandpa is sick, I have to go and see him’, but after giving it a thought, she changed the replies in her head, and said, “His grandpa is finally willing to see him. This means that he must have already cooled down.”“What? If he has cooled down, does this mean that his grandpa will give him back the CEO position? Will his grandpa also bring him back into the Qin family?” “Isn't this a give
“B*stard!”Little did Qin Jinhuan expect such words from Yi Yunzhe. Furious, he raised his fist and flung it toward Yi Yunzhe’s face.“Huan!”“Stop him!”“Don’t hit him!”“Young Master!”As voices broke out together, Yi Yunzhe’s ever-ready bodyguards quickly blocked Qin Jinhuan’s path with tightly clenched fists, ready to trade blows as soon as Qin Jinhuan got any closer.Meanwhile, Qin Jinhuan was struggling furiously to break free from the twins’ desperate hug.“Calm down, Young Master! Talk things over peacefully,” urged the twins in a whisper, while trying their best to move him as far away as they could from Yi Yunzhe. “Get off me!”Just when Qin Jinhuan was yelling, sounds of fighting and a woman screaming were heard outside. Recognizing Mu Yu’s scream, Qin Jinhuan felt an abrupt tightness in his chest. He forcefully pushed the twins
“M-Mr. Yi, you-you…” Qin Wentao was too shocked to complete his sentence.“I’m not into that kind of person.” Seeing everyone had obviously misunderstood him, Yi Yunzhe smirked in disdain. “Whoever started the problem should end it. It’s Young Master Qin who caused the Phoenix Gully’s problem to the Qing Tian group, so he should be the one responsible to solve it.”“What does Mr. Yi have in mind then?” Qin Wentao asked attentively.“Let him kneel down and beg me…”“Yi Yunzhe! Don’t go too far now!”“Young Master, don’t be rash!” The twins quickly pulled Qin Jinhuan back, who was going to rush toward Yi Yunzhe and beat him up, as they tried to advise him in a low voice.“Young Master Qin always had a quick temper. No wonder you would make such a huge blunder on the Phoenix Gully Project.” There were traces of contempt in Yi Yunzhe’s smile. Qin Xiaozhi gestured to the twins to pull Qin Jinhuan
“Young Master? Young Master? Are you alright?” The twins rushed to Qin Jinhuan’s side in aid.Qin Xiaozhi froze at the sight, but looked away as his eyes turned cold, as though he didn’t care. Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun never expected Qin Jinhuan to react this way. They looked shamefaced at first but were both relieved as soon as they saw their father’s attitude, staring at Qin Jinhuan apathetically and did nothing as if he was an outsider.Yi Yunzhe jeered, “Hey, why are you so mad? Take it easy.” Compared to the others, his words were at least more sympathetic.Bang! Just then, the door was opened forcefully, and Wen Zeyu, Huang Bo, Weng Yun and Mu Yu burst into the ward one after another.“Huan!” Wen Zeyu was the first to rush by Qin Jinhuan’s side. Helping him up at once, he glared at the others and shouted angrily, “What have you all done to him?!”Mu Yu, who entered the ward last, was terrified when she saw the b
