"Haha..." Mu Jiuchen heard Mu Xue's voice, his smile filled with pain and wildness.
Mu Xue listened, her heart pounding with fear. "Mu Xue, you've only ever considered yourself, never once weighing the lives of others. You only ever see things from your own perspective, for your own benefit. And now you have the nerve to talk about me letting you go?"
Everything was for money.
In the face of money, all pretenses were shed. He saw the most venomous hearts in the world.
In this world, very few people could truly empathize.
Mu Xue, pampered and privileged from birth, only knew the hardships of the world after suffering once.
"The police are already here. You can't escape. The entire city is looking for you. I'll watch you go to prison, and when you get out, I'll watch you emerge from it, seeing your most pathetic side."
Mu Jiuchen hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Mu Xue's face turned ashen as she looked at Jiang Yuxin beside her.
"Yuxin, you must help me! You were the one who came up with the plan. Now that the police are coming to arrest me, you have to protect me." Mu Xue pleaded with Jiang Yuxin.
She hadn't exposed this woman earlier precisely to get her help.
Jiang Yuxin had already lost her nerve and dared not help Mu Xue.
She looked coldly at Mu Xue. Today's objective was to kill Jiang Nuan, and she had used Mu Xue for that. The medicine provided by the other party was simply excellent, fooling everyone's noses and eyes.
"Aunt Mu Xue, how can you say it was my idea? I just said it casually, I never expected you to misunderstand. Nuan Nuan is a friend, how could I possibly plot against her?"
Although Mu Xue claimed to want to help her, it was only for the grandfather's fortune. Instead, she had been used by Mu Xue.
Thinking about it made her blood boil.
"Jiang Yuxin, how can you say that? You and Jiang Nuan are friends, how can you even say that? You plotted against her, trying to take her life, and you have the nerve to call yourself her friend? Jiang Yuxin, how are you even more disgusting than me?"
Mu Xue looked at her in disbelief. The two of them were in the same boat.
Now she was turning on her so easily, did she think things would be that simple?
"Jiang Yuxin, aren't you afraid I'll tell Mu Jiuchen what you've done?" Mu Xue threatened coldly.
Jiang Yuxin's smile was gentle and captivating. She stared at the agitated Mu Xue for a moment before saying, "Aunt, do you think he'll believe me? Mu Jiuchen has always had a soft spot for me. Don't forget, he's still going to choose a birthday gift for me?"
One day, she would make Mu Jiuchen willingly do anything for her.
Mu Xue heard this and burst into laughter. She gazed deeply at the woman before her, who was so scheming and calculating, and chuckled, "Don't I know my own nephew? You won't even marry Xiao Jiu until the day you die."
After Mu Xue finished her taunt, she stood up and left the hotel.
She was going to surrender!
Jiang Yuxin watched Mu Xue's retreating figure, a hint of unease settling in.
She believed Mu Xue would sell her out without hesitation.
Mu Jiuchen would also believe her words.
This was a risky move. Those people were truly useless for failing to kill Jiang Nuan.
After finally catching someone, it would be too difficult to make another move next time.
Mu Jiuchen sent Jiang Nuan and Yun Tong back to the hospital.
After examination, both had been drugged with a sedative-like substance, causing them to fall into an unconscious state.
Jiang Nuan slept for a full four days.
Mu Jiuchen stayed by her side, never leaving.
He didn't dare to leave even to eat or sleep.
Whenever Xiao Fan brought food, he would smile helplessly. Everyone knew Mu Jiuchen to be heartless, cold, and arrogant, but who knew that he was a devoted lover?
In his youth, at twenty, Mu Jiuchen was unrestrained and spirited.
At twenty-nine, Mu Jiuchen had become the man every woman desired: handsome, wealthy, powerful, and most importantly, he possessed a heart that was devoted and unwavering.
Jiang Nuan opened her eyes, looking around in a daze. She realized she was lying in her own home.
Her mind went blank for a moment. Wasn't she in the delivery room? How did she end up here?
Mu Jiuchen had already seen her wake up. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, tightly clasped Jiang Nuan's hand, and asked with a wicked smile, "Wife, do you still recognize me?" In his hoarse voice, she could understand the mixed emotions of heartache and worry.
Her pupils trembled slightly. Feeling the strength of Mu Jiuchen's grip on her hand, she smiled and said, "He's my own husband, how could I not remember him?"
Only then did Mu Jiuchen's tense body relax. His gaze towards her poured out with excitement.
"It's good that you remember, silly girl. You've been asleep for four days." For him, these four days felt like forty years.
The days that passed like years were agonizing.
Jiang Nuan was startled. She had slept for four days and her memory was stuck four days ago.
"Where is Sister Yun Tong?" Jiang Nuan asked nervously.
In her memory, Sister Yun Tong had a tear, and after she stitched it up, Yun Tong fell asleep from exhaustion. She was about to ask someone to send her back to her room when she couldn't remember anything that happened afterward.
"She woke up two days ago and is still in the hospital. She and the baby are fine. We haven't told Yun Xia about this to avoid worrying her. We only told her that Yun Tong gave birth to a daughter."
Mu Jiuchen then recounted the events to Jiang Nuan.
After listening, Jiang Nuan frowned slightly, feeling that something was not quite right.
After pondering for a moment with a frown, she said, "With Mu Xue's ability alone, it's impossible for her to take us away so silently. Most importantly, I lost consciousness without smelling anything. There must have been someone else helping Mu Xue."
Mu Jiuchen had already thought of this. "Xiao Fan went to see Aunt. The person who helped her was Jiang Yuxin." That woman is seeking death!
He would grant her wish!
Jiang Nuan had just woken up, and her body had been weak recently, her face pale and fragile, almost transparent.
She pulled on Mu Jiuchen's hand and said, "Then, where did Jiang Yuxin get the medicine from? It was colorless and odorless, making it easy to fall victim." The first person who came to her mind was Yan Xi.
"I've already sent people to follow Jiang Yuxin. She hasn't made any moves in the past few days, staying in the hotel. Perhaps she's sensed something? Or perhaps she's waiting for the right moment."
"She knows Aunt will sell her out. She's just sitting still, waiting for her opportunity!"
A cold glint flashed in Mu Jiuchen's eyes. Jiang Yuxin had always been close to Mu Yunlei. As long as they caught these people, they could find the root cause. However, these people were as cunning as foxes. In recent days, they hadn't been to the Hao Hui Club again.
Jiang Nuan looked at him and asked, "How has Mu Yunlei been recently?"
Mu Jiuchen replied, "His wife has withdrawn all investments and is determined to divorce him. He's now like a headless fly, everywhere looking for investors."
The projects Mu Yunlei cared about were mere trifles to him, but to Mu Yunlei, they represented a considerable investment.
If things went wrong, he could be ruined.
"In addition, I've already found someone to discreetly contact Mu Yunlei. This way, Mu Yunlei won't be on guard, and we'll quickly find out what we need to know."
Jiang Nuan understood and said pitifully, "Husband, I'm hungry."
Mu Jiuchen smiled indulgently. "Wife, wait a moment. I'll go get you something to eat right away."
Jiang Nuan watched Mu Jiuchen's upright back, a growing sense of crisis overwhelming her.
Suddenly, she remembered something. She sat up abruptly, grabbed her phone, and called Number One.
