Her usually composed and steady face could not hide the sorrow that welled up, and she slowly closed her eyes, turning to lean against the wall. Pressing her forehead against the cool surface, her eyes misted over.
Xiao Cheng lay unconscious in the room. Not long after Antina had left, they said Qing Si Huai was injured and had been taken away by Anthony. If that was the case, who else could oppose Qing Mu Ye?
"Han Jun Yan?"
Tang Si, Han Yu, and Lu Yan Ming were all present. Four brothers – could they not be a match for Han Jun Yan alone?
Yet, at this very moment, there was still no news from Qing Mu Ye.
For Meng Jing Wei, this was the worst possible news.
She bit her red lip tightly, her body trembling slightly. Suddenly hearing footsteps from the stairs, she quickly sniffled, straightened up, entered Xiao Cheng's room, and closed the door.
In the bedroom, the lights were on, and Xiao Cheng still lay unconscious on the bed.
On the mountain, he had lost a lot of blood, his body drenched in it. The injury was close to his heart, and his condition was critical.
Looking at the monitoring equipment by Xiao Cheng's bed, she saw that all his vital signs were stable, and her anxious heart finally settled.
Walking to the bedside, she looked at the familiar face and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. It was a strangeness that made her feel she didn't know Xiao Cheng, that she didn't understand his true thoughts.
Meanwhile.
In the living room downstairs, the phone on Song Ci's desk suddenly rang, immediately drawing the attention of everyone in the room.
Almost instinctively, he grabbed the phone and answered, "How is it? Your side right now..."
"Your brother has betrayed us, he..."
The voice on the other end was Lu Yan Ming.
The single sentence, "Your brother has betrayed us," struck him like a bolt of lightning, shattering the strong fortress in his heart.
Song Ci frowned, "What... what do you mean?"
From the other side, there was another heavy sigh. Lu Yan Ming seemed to find it difficult to speak, but someone next to him said, "Damn it, give me the phone, I'll talk to him."
It was Tang Si's voice.
"Song Ci, damn you, Second Brother treated your family well. Why are you doing this? Song Jun, that bastard, took one hundred million from Anthony and found Second Brother. While Second Brother was engaged in a fierce fight, he shot him in the back. Damn it, three shots! You better not leave, I'm coming over to chop you to pieces!"
Tang Si's hysterical roar, inadvertently leaking from the phone, made the brothers sitting beside him exchange glances, their expressions growing increasingly grim.
Song Ci stood there, clutching his phone tightly, "Impossible, what kind of joke are you playing? How could my brother betray the boss? He's absolutely not that kind of person!"
"Not your damn ass! I saw him make a move on Second Brother with my own eyes. I only regret that I was injured and couldn't kill your brother with one shot, allowing him to escape."
Tang Si cursed again.
Song Ci was completely bewildered. All his convictions collapsed at this moment, his heart shattered into pieces. All he could mutter was, "Impossible... impossible, my brother would never betray the boss, impossible..."
The image of Song Jun flashed in his mind, the scene of him and his brother fighting alongside Qing Mu Ye through showers of bullets. But why were they insisting that Song Jun had betrayed their boss?
At this moment, the other people sitting on the sofa also received calls.
The ringing phones sounded in unison, and after answering, their gazes fell upon Song Jun for a moment before they each responded with a "Got it" or "Okay."
Finally, they all hung up and walked towards Song Ci.
"Arrest him."
The leader was Wei Dong Kui, also a capable assistant at the same level as Song Jun and Song Ci. However, Qing Mu Ye had assigned him to handle other matters, so he didn't often appear in front of everyone.
