Murong Ye's words were brittle cold. His usual cold aura was now incisive and vivid. It was as threatening as the God of Death when He asked for one's life.
Instantly, the Head of Security found his forehead to be covered in sweat. His face turned as pale as a piece of paper and his legs became jelly. His heart was thumping like crazy, as if ten thousands of horses were galloping in it. His hands were trembling so much as if they were sifting chaff. He was so terrified, no words were coming out from his mouth.
The Principal had definitely dealt with important people before, so he performed better than the Head of Security. He answered quickly, "We will definitely try our best and put in all of our efforts." Then, he turned and rushed the Head of Securit. "Why aren't you going yet? Hurry!"
Receiving the Principal's reminder, the Head of Security quickly nodded in response. Then, he led his team and ran out of the door.
The Princ
Murong Ye frowned slightly and turned towards the door. Gong Yu entered the monitoring room full of cold aura. He was followed by Seventh Brother who was carrying their luggage. Seeing that the newcomer was Gong Yu, Murong Ye lifted his hand and signaled to him. "I don't care how you do it, I just want to see results. I'm giving you your last 30 minutes. If you still can't bring Xiao Xi to me, prepare to step down!" After throwing those words at the Principal, Murong Ye ended the call without giving him a chance to speak for himself. From Murong Ye's perspective, all words were meaningless without results. He did not need to waste time listening to them. He only needed to know the results. He had always treated his subordinates like this. Murong Ye put away the phone, looked up at Gong Yu and said faintly, "You're here." Murong Ye's gaze moved towards Seventh Brother, who was standing behind Gong Yu. Seventh Brother seemed to h
The door to the warehouse opened and came out a man tied up in ropes, carried by inspectors that stood on both sides. The man's mouth was still covered with adhesive tape. A policeman came out behind them with a girl in his arms. Murong Ye and Gong Yu narrowed their eyes and immediately dashed towards that policeman. Before the duo could speak, the alarmed policeman asked, "Who are you guys?" The girl in his arms explained, "They must be looking for me." Gong Yu stretched out his arm and pulled her over in one swift move. He frowned and asked, "Xiao Xi, what is going on?" Murong Ye kept a sullen look and asked, "Xiao Xi, are you alright?" "I'm fine, just a sprained foot." Yun Muxi shook her head and looked relaxed. "Then can you explain to us what is going on?" Both Gong Yu and Murong Ye's expressions looked horrible. Everyone had been searching for her urgently for the past few hours, yet she looked
Murong Ye picked up the phone as he walked towards the door. "Hello? I gave the order. Don't question my order. I don't want to talk too much about this! If there are any consequences, I'll bear the responsibility." Murong Ye was already out of the door when he hung up. Gong Yu frowned and looked towards Murong Ye's direction. His instinct told him that Murong Ye was in trouble, and this trouble had something to do with Xiao Xi going missing. Gong Yu planned to find some time to talk to Murong Ye and see if he could help him out. Thinking of this, Gong Yu felt some bitterness in his heart. He felt that his current self was as useless as if he had cut off his limbs. This was the first time in over 20 years that he had felt so helpless. All of his pride and ego vanished at this moment. Gong Yu pulled Yun Muxi towards him and held her tightly in his embrace, as if this was the only way he could give strength to himself, to let him stand up tall
After hearing that speech, Murong Ye's face instantly turned more gloomy, with a glimpse of coldness flickered in his eyes. "Who?" "It's the Lians." "The Lians?" "Yes. The Lians seemed to have investigated on Miss Yun and Little Miss Niannian." "Humph! Little Three, go to check for me! Let me know as soon as you find something." Murong Ye paused for a moment and then continued saying, "Little Two, make an appointment for me with Master Bao right now. I need to meet him first. Little Five, keep Xiao Xi well-protected. I won't let her be hurt anymore." "Yes, Master." The three of them then withdrew from the ward. Soon afterwards, only Murong Qingtian and Murong Ye remained in the ward. Murong Ye pondered for a moment. Then he turned to Murong Qingtian and said, "Father, we must hurry up to let Xiao Xi get back to our family and recognize her as a Murong. Otherwise, I am worr
Murong Ye's face became even colder and darker, looking at Master Bao with chilling eyes. Master Bao was shocked with slight fear. He became more and more guilty while he still didn't know where he had offended Master Murong—he was almost a god that nobody dared to offend. "Master Bao's fellows are not cowards, are they?" Murong Ye asked. His voice was not loud but possessed a sense of coldness and gloom, which could make people chill. His voice was freezing cold to the bone and his eyes were even colder, making people afraid to look straight at his eyes. After hearing that, Master Bao frowned slightly, he couldn't help but turn eyes to his subordinates. The few people around him didn't dare to breathe at all, just standing by with their heads down, like statues. "I don't know how my people got in trouble with Master Murong. Master Murong, please speak straight and give me some hints." Master Bao's words were too polite, which,
Murong Ye quieted for a while before he slowly said, "Father has been in the hospital with Niannian recently. You'd better rest at home more because of your physical condition." Murong Ye didn't want to lie to Yun Muxi, but he knew that once Yun Muxi knew the truth, she would definitely worry. It would be better to hold her back now that she was pregnant. It seemed that he had to speed up his pace to find Niannian. He must find Niannian as soon as possible, otherwise, he was not sure how long he could keep the truth from Yun Muxi. Yun Muxi thought Murong Ye behaved a bit strange, but she just attributed the strange behave to Murong Ye's excessive concern about her pregnancy. So she smiled and said to Murong Ye, "Brother, it's just pregnancy and this is not the first time for me. I know my body very well. I just want to see Niannian and I wouldn't do anything that would probably hurt myself. There is no need to worry about me."
Yun Muxi gasped, all she could feel was Gong Yu. Such an attractive and ambiguous atmosphere made her flustered in no time. She did not dare to move. If not paying enough attention, they would touch each other's lips. She was even a little bit nervous. Although it was not the first time for her to kiss Gong Yu, at the moment, she felt that, as if this was her first kiss. Her heartbeat raced and her cheek flushed red, like a teenage girl. With corners of his lips upward slightly, Gong Yu pecked at Yun Muxi's lips and then raised his head. He stood back up and went to the bathroom to put away the hair dryer. Yun Muxi got up and picked up the cup on the tea table. After having gulped down half a cup of water, she barely pulled herself together and recovered from fluster. Gong Yu walked out of the bathroom and said flatly, "Go to bed early. I will go to Lingyin Temple with you early tomorrow morning." "Lingyin Temple?" Yun Muxi stu
The woman's voice came from the other end of the mobile phone and Yun Muxi could hear the cry of Niannian, calling her Mum. The woman said, "If you don't want anything happens to your little girl, come here by yourself. Don't tell anyone, especially the police. Otherwise, you cannot afford the consequences." The woman hung up the phone without any hesitation. Yun Muxi just realized what had happened, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare. Yun Muxi quickly got out of bed. Grabbing a very light outfit, picking up her cell phone and a backpack, she rushed out of the room. As she was approaching the door, she suddenly turned back and went to the kitchen, rummaging for something. … An hour later. Yun Muxi finally arrived at Eastern Suburb Farm by taxi. She stepped out of the car, picked up her cell phone and glanced at the terrain of the farm. Then she looked around, targeting at a spot shown on th
Lu Yang also saw Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu and also felt a little bit shocked. He stepped forward to greet them. "Xiao Xi, Gong Yu, why are you here?" Murong Yunxi looked at Lu Yang with a smile. Many years had passed by, the past had gone with the wind. Lu Yang was just one of her good friends and they seemed to be more comfortable in this way. "Yeah, we came for a movie, but I didn't like it, so we left before the ending!" Subsequently, Murong Yun turned to a woman behind Lu Yang who looked familiar. "Lu Yang, is this your...?" Lu Yang put on a bitter smile. "Oh, you know that I am in a situation of being forced to get married. This is a girl that my big brother introduced to me for a blind date." Lu Yang had nothing to hide because he had no intention to get married to this woman, so he shared his thoughts directly to avoid any misunderstandings, let alone he had no intention to make her his girlfriend. This woman did not rea
Twelve years later. "Luoluo, come to help me!" Lying face down on her big bed, Murong Niannian complained to her good friend through her mobile phone. She was simply so depressed inside. Yan Chuluo was Murong Niannian's best friend, and their friendship was very solid. Although Yan Chuluo was five years older than Murong Niannian, Murong Niannian, a mature girl, did not have any difficulty communicating with her. Their relationship was even more harmonious than those of her peers. "Well, my dear girl, I'm too busy to attend to you now. I even don't have any leisure for myself," replied Yan Chuluo, who was reading the latest military newspaper on a closestool. Yan Chuluo actually could not attend to her talented friend at the moment because she fell in love with a man. More exactly, she fell in love with him in secret only at one glance. "Well, you just went to receive military training. By the way, your grandfathe
S City— The doorbell was ringing outside. After finding that it was a courier delivering a parcel, Gu Yuxuan answered the door and signed for the delivery. After closing the door, Gu Yuxuan leaned against the door, overwhelmed by sadness. The express delivery belonged to Yun Muxi, which should be her admission letter according to the mailing address. However, Yun Muxi had disappeared for almost a month. Gu Yuxuan stood with her back against the door and slowly slid down on the ground as her tears kept falling down. Gu Yuxuan held the parcel and put one hand on her knees, covering her eyes with the other. Her tears streamed down through her fingers, and she cried silently. In fact, she had cried countless times this month. Father Yun had gone to Africa and kept working after arriving there, so that they were out of touch. Neither could she convey the news of Xiao Xi's disappearance to Father Yun, nor did she know how to tell oth
The bottle was in the shape of a gourd and was smooth and delicate. What was the most special part was the handle of the bottle, which was also made of a little gourd. The two gourds were cleverly connected by a vine. It looked like the bigger gourd was holding the small one while the small one wrapped onto the large one. The lip was the root of the vine, showing a natural and smooth combination. The bottle's shape was delicate and refined. Every detail showed unique ingenuity, subtly revealing a sense of tenderness in its mellow lines. The two gourds were like a mother and daughter. The mother showed her infinite love for her daughter, while the daughter relied on her mother. The two were made of crystal-white porcelain, while the vine was lush green with no extra impurities. Duanmu Gongyu opened the lid and extended his nose to smell it. A rich smell of wine rushed to him with a faint fragrance like a kind of flower. Duanmu Gongyu could not tell what it
Duanmu Gongcheng felt somewhat shameless upon seeing Duanmu Gongyu's shock, and he lowered his head to say, "It's my fault! I am too... I hope you don't blame me." Duanmu Gongyu felt happy to remedy the misunderstanding with his brother and nodded while saying, "I don't blame you, Big Brother. I have arranged for my people to deal with those bad guys. You don't have to be worried." Duanmu Gongcheng could not adapt to this change and still felt embarrassed at the moment. He said, "Third Brother, you've just come back, so I came to check on your injury. Since you're fine, I should not bother you. You're so tired after a long journey. Have a rest and I will come to visit you later." Then, Duanmu Gongcheng asked to leave in a hurry. Nanny Wu suddenly felt embarrassed when only Duanmu Gongyu, Yun Muxi, and she were there. She said in a hurry, "My Lord, you should have a rest and I will go to prepare food for you. You must not have e
After pausing for a moment, Duanmu Gongyu stared fixedly at Hei Ye as if he had something to say. Hei Ye was confused by Duanmu Gongyu's actions and wondered if he had a problem, but he dared not to ask Duanmu Gongyu if the fear that he would enrage Duanmu Gongyu, who had been in anger during the past several days. Looking as if he had made up his mind, Duanmu Gongyu cleared his throat and his face blushed as he said with an unnatural expression, "Hmm... it seems... Xiao Xi... is angry at me..." Duanmu Gongyu stuttered as he did not how to express his thoughts, but the long-lasting cold war between Duanmu Gongyu and Yun Muxi made Hei Ye understand Duanmu Gongyu's meanings at once. Hei Ye said to Duanmu Gongyu in embarrassment, "Your Highness, I didn't have any experience in dealing with girls, so, I don't exactly know how to solve this, but... usually, in such a situation, men should take the initiative to coax women. Don't feel shy to do th
Yun Muxi felt at ease enjoying such a peaceful and beautiful moment. Her parents had been busy with their work and left her alone at home since she was a child, and luckily, she had a good friend, Xuanxuan, accompany her; otherwise, she would have left a lonely life. She was quite satisfied that now Duanmu Gongyu accompanied her, took care of her, and loved her. She enjoyed the peaceful moment quietly. ... At sunset, the carriage arrived in Xinyang City. As soon as they entered the city, Duanmu Gongyu sensed something strange. He said to Hei Ye in a cold tone, "Hei Ye, put on your guards." Since Duanmu Gongyu always had a keen instinct, Hei Ye put on his highest guard at Duanmu Gongyu's reminder. Lan Yun surveyed around warily and looked out for everything that would happen. Hei Ye drove the carriage to a tasteful hotel, which was neither the biggest one nor the most luxurious one in the city. The reason why he chose such an in
Before walking long, Yun Muxi came across Duanmu Gongyu. She cast her anger behind her back and said to him happily, "Look, Gong Yu, I found a puppy. Isn't it cute?" Duanmu Gongyu was allergic to animals, especially furry ones. He measured the puppy with a frown and a look of disdain. As if the puppy had sensed Duanmu Gongyu's hostility against it, it barked at him in a wary way. Duanmu Gongyu furrowed his eyebrows even deeply. A long while passed, and he finally replied, "No, not at all. It is not that friendly to me." Yun Muxi defended the puppy hurriedly by saying, "No, it's just too small and afraid of strangers." In Yun Muxi's arms, the puppy barked at Duanmu Gongyu warily once again. Still in a frown, Duanmu Gongyu said in a cold tone, "It does look unfriendly. It warned me to stay away from it." Right then, the puppy barked at Duanmu Gongyu several times more in a warning way. Yun Muxi stroked
The time needed for an incense stick to burn passed by in the blink of an eye. Lan Yun indeed came over carrying two big handfuls of skewers. Since they were in the wilderness and they had never seen how modern-day skewers looked, although the skewers he made were somewhat close, it was still different from the modern-day ones. The wooden sticks were thick, and the meat cubes were also bigger. The shapes were not cut into long shapes as they do in the modern world. Lan Yun's skewers looked more like tanghulu. But Yun Muxi was still amazed that he could deliver such great results so quickly. "Lan Yun, if I bring you to where I came from, you could earn quite a lot just by making lu chuan! You're basically god-speed." Lan Yun felt awkward after hearing it. He had put in so much effort to equip himself with all these skills just for him to go there and make lu chuan? This Miss Yun had such a wild imagination. Hei Ye was very alert
