Mu Jiu Chen looked at her ashen face and asked, "Nuan Nuan, what's wrong?"
Jiang Nuan glanced at him leisurely before replying, "Phone call from One. I have a bad feeling."
She pressed the answer button and turned on the speaker.
"J, Yan Xi has been abducted. She was taken on the way to prison this morning," One's voice was tinged with exhaustion, clearly having not slept all night.
The existence of the Dark Emperor was to be responsible for security everywhere, busier than national security.
Jiang Nuan was deep in thought, not too surprised.
She already had her own plans. That person was not simple.
"Next time, I'll make sure she dies unexpectedly. But this also confirms our guess that the person behind this is someone of very high standing to be able to manipulate all of this from the shadows."
"J, it's been almost three months, and we have no leads. I've never been this anxious. It feels like the sky is falling, but I can't reach it. I always feel like something is missing, that feeling is maddening. Can you understand?"
One finished speaking and gave a bitter smile.
"I understand," Jiang Nuan replied faintly.
"J, I knew you understood me best. Even Gu Li, who was shrewd his entire life, was bought with beauty. It shows they have many people, like a net, trying to put us in the center of their web for their own devices."
Jiang Nuan also felt the problem. She then asked, "How is the investigation into Lu Qiaoyi's matter going?"
"No news yet," One gave another bitter smile. "That person knows me well, always one step ahead, and knows our arrangements, allowing them to exploit loopholes."
Jiang Nuan took a deep breath. The structure of the Dark Emperor was complex, and it was truly impossible to find out who it was in a short period.
Unless you knew them, even if they stood in front of you, you might not recognize them as a member of the Dark Emperor.
They were the shadows of national security, only able to act in secret.
Inconvenient cases were all brought to them.
It was very tricky!
And for her, from being a bounty hunter to being assessed and entering the Dark Emperor, it had taken a long time.
She was forced by life and later gradually fell in love with the profession.
"I understand. You rest first, and I'll handle the rest. Grant me access to Modu. One is very busy and slow, with too many tasks. He can't provide me with the information I need in advance."
"J, your body can't handle this much work," One was very worried about her.
"It's fine!" Jiang Nuan's tone was dismissive. "One, I'll do what I can. I have one last question for you: Is Han Yifan a member of the Dark Emperor?"
"I don't know. I don't have his file here," One said sincerely.
"Is there a possibility..."
"No, J. Han Yifan is not. If he were, I would know."
Hearing One's certain tone, Jiang Nuan became puzzled.
"Alright, I understand," Jiang Nuan said, doodling with her chopsticks, her expression unreadable.
"Okay! Access will be granted in three minutes, and all procedures will be sent to your phone."
"Okay, thank you!" Jiang Nuan hung up.
She had the speaker on, so Mu Jiu Chen had also heard One's words.
He looked at her with a cold and stern expression. "One said your body can't handle it."
Jiang Nuan looked at his angry handsome face, her eyes filled with tenderness. "Don't I have you by my side? You can't believe everything One says."
Mu Jiu Chen's eyes held a hint of coldness. "You suspect him?"
Jiang Nuan shook her head slightly and smiled. "Why would you think that? It's not him. I've known him for five years. He's a good person. His childhood dream was to join national security, but his qualifications weren't enough. Coming to Dark Night, Dark Night was a good place for him to showcase his talents, and his dream was realized. The One I know wouldn't do this. It's others. I still suspect Han Yifan."
This person was very cunning. A young man managed to break through her defenses with the pure gaze of a teenager.
"The people monitoring him report daily. He has been living with his father in the villa and hasn't gone out."
Jiang Nuan was always extremely logical, and she had her reasons for suspecting Han Yifan.
It was because Han Yifan was also very familiar with her.
Why did he give her medicine at Haijiao No. 1? The purpose was to make her lower her guard.
Because she completely believed that Haijiao No. 1 would make her better. If it were someone else, she would have hesitated and dared not take it.
Han Yifan seemed to have seized that point.
"We'll know if it's him later. Let's eat breakfast first." Jiang Nuan picked up her chopsticks and continued eating. She hadn't eaten enough.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her deeply, remained silent, and continued eating breakfast.
After breakfast, Xiao Fan delivered clothes. Mu Jiu Chen took the clothes inside, and the two changed and left the hotel.
Across the hotel, Jiang Yuxin was driving over and happened to see Mu Jiu Chen emerging, with Jiang Nuan in his arms.
They really had come to the hotel next door.
Ah, ah...
Jiang Yuxin was inwardly collapsing. She should have been the one spending a pleasant night with Mu Jiu Chen here last night. Why was it Jiang Nuan?
Jiang Yuxin gripped the steering wheel, a malicious thought forming in her heart, wishing she could just ram her car into Jiang Nuan.
But she knew Mu Jiu Chen would definitely sacrifice himself to save Jiang Nuan.
Mu Jiu Chen loved her deeply, while she loved him and couldn't get him.
So painful!
She hadn't slept all night!
Tears welled up in Jiang Yuxin's eyes. Why couldn't she have Mu Jiu Chen?
Back then, happiness was clearly within her reach, but she had disliked Mu Jiu Chen and been very cold to him. Later, when she learned of his identity, she realized how foolish she was.
Watching the two get into the car, her face was incredibly pale, and her whole body was tense and uncomfortable.
Suddenly, she saw a woman's car following Mu Jiu Chen's car.
Jiang Yuxin was momentarily puzzled and followed.
Mu Jiu Chen had company matters, Jiang Nuan was free, and wherever Mu Jiu Chen was, she was there?
Mu Jiu Chen took her to the company and went straight to the office through the VIP channel.
The woman following Mu Jiu Chen was Su Wanting. The Su family had encountered some trouble recently, and she had been waiting for an opportunity to ask Mu Jiu Chen for help.
She heard he was at a banquet here last night and followed him here.
She had been waiting nearby all night, but she hadn't waited for Mu Jiu Chen. Disappointed, she was about to leave when she saw Mu Jiu Chen coming out of a nearby hotel with Jiang Nuan in his arms.
Her heart leaped with joy, but before she could get out of the car, she saw Mu Jiu Chen and Jiang Nuan driving away. She could only follow them by car to the company.
Mu Jiu Chen's car went directly to the underground parking lot. She was not an internal employee, so her car couldn't get in. She went straight to the front desk.
"Hello! I'd like to see Mu Jiu Chen. I'm his friend." Su Wanting's tone was somewhat urgent. She had finally seen Mu Jiu Chen come to the company and couldn't miss this opportunity.
The receptionist looked at her politely and asked with a smile, "Miss, may I ask if you have an appointment in advance? You need to make an appointment before you can go up."
