"Mu Yichen, based on my observations, this person is very special. He's been to Modu a few times, and each time his tracks have been erased. Initially, I didn't pay attention, but lately he's been appearing in front of you frequently, so I took notice. A deeper look revealed that someone is deliberately concealing his whereabouts."
Jiang Nuan had heard this name several times tonight.
"The number from earlier, can't you find any clues at all? They were trying to capture Yunyun, but they got the wrong person in the end." Jiang Nuan still found it hard to believe there were absolutely no leads.
"The number was illegal, and they knew we'd investigate. They were prepared, which is why they're so brazen. They've erased all evidence of their crimes completely." Number One was also troubled. This was the most perplexing case he had ever handled.
Too many people were involved, and they were all influential figures.
Jiang Nuan also knew Number One's capabilities. If he found it difficult, she was in a bind as well.
"A fox will always show its tail. The day after tomorrow, Kuo Bao will be going to Modu. If they want to capture my child, they won't give up on capturing Kuo Bao." Jiang Nuan clenched her fists. This time, she hoped they could be lured out.
Number One instantly understood her intentions.
Mu Jiuchen, who had been listening nearby, also frowned slightly.
"Nuannuan, I'll send people to protect Kuo Bao, so you don't have to worry. Oh, and in a few days, it's the Dark Emperor's birthday. You and Nanzhou have both received invitations. You must come then. I've already sent the invitation to you and Nanzhou."
"Alright, it's my first time meeting the Emperor, so I will go." Jiang Nuan was a little excited.
"Mm! J, that's all for now. I have other matters to attend to. Contact me anytime if anything comes up. I suggest you wear an invisible earpiece; it would be more convenient."
"I'm sorry, you were supposed to be on vacation, but these matters have prevented you from resting properly." Number One apologized.
Jiang Nuan smiled faintly, "You don't need to apologize. My body is fine for now."
"J, rest well."
Jiang Nuan hung up the phone and turned to look at Mu Jiuchen. He was still tightly pressing on her wound.
When Jiang Nuan met his angry gaze, she inexplicably felt a little guilty.
"Honey, there's a first-aid kit in the car. Can you get it for me? This is just a small injury; no need to go to the hospital."
Mu Jiuchen's expression was still grim. "Keep pressing!"
Jiang Nuan pressed on the wound, and thinking about that man's strength, she couldn't help but frown. This person definitely had something unusual about him.
Mu Jiuchen quickly took out the medicine box. Jiang Nuan sat in the car, and Mu Jiuchen opened it.
Jiang Nuan asked him to give her a hemostatic pill.
Only then did Mu Jiuchen pick up the iodine and begin disinfecting the wound.
He rolled up his sleeves and, upon seeing the torn wound, gasped.
He was very angry. "Your injury is so severe, why didn't you tell me?" His voice was filled with tenderness and concern.
Jiang Nuan knew he was angry, so she smiled and said, "Seeing you happy, I didn't want to see you worried. It doesn't hurt that much anyway."
Mu Jiuchen stared at her blankly for a moment before tending to her wound.
The hemostatic pill worked very well. A few minutes after taking it, the bleeding stopped.
He cut off the threads and pulled them out one by one with tweezers.
Jiang Nuan bore the pain with all her might.
She could endure this kind of pain. After more than ten minutes, the wound was bandaged.

Mu Jiuchen got into the driver's seat. Jiang Nuan looked at him and called out sweetly, "Honey, don't leave yet."
"Xiao Fan will handle things here; you don't need to worry."
Jiang Nuan knew Xiao Fan would handle it, but she had other matters to attend to.
"By the way, has Mr. Chu approved your maritime transport applications for this year?" Jiang Nuan was a little worried about this matter. In business, this was the first time she had seen him troubled.
Mu Jiuchen smiled and nodded. He gently brushed her fair, pale face with his long fingers, his smile full of warmth. "He has approved it. Because my wife saved his daughter today, he's very grateful. Without even negotiating with Mu Yichen, he approved it for me directly. I was just about to take you home when Xiao Fan went to say that Jiang Yuxin's aunt was bullying you, and that's why I went."
Seeing that man pull his wife, he wanted to chop off that man's hand, but Nuannuan's arm was bleeding.
Jiang Nuan was also about to tell him about this. "The man pulling me was probably Jiang Yuxin's cousin. Do you know why my wound turned out like this?"
Mu Jiuchen frowned slightly and looked at her without speaking.
"Because his strength is terrifying, far beyond that of an ordinary person. My well-trained body could only break free from his grip by exerting all my strength. I suspect he's not a normal person, which is why I asked you to wait. I want to know his identity."
"Mm!" Mu Jiuchen nodded faintly.
"Jiang Yuxin's aunt, Wang Jiaxin, after marrying into the Li family, had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son took over the company and has a decent character. The younger son is a dissolute playboy who never stays home. Her daughter is currently interning at the company."
"The Li family is in the clothing business. Their business has been difficult in recent years. They've closed hundreds of clothing stores across the country and switched to online sales, but they're just barely holding on."
All in all, Mu Jiuchen still felt that Jiang Yuxin was causing trouble.
A hint of chill appeared on Jiang Nuan's face. "His dissolute lifestyle is probably a cover for his identity. This person is absolutely not simple." She had met his gaze, and beneath that lewd smile, it was like a deep pool, impossible to fathom.
Mu Jiuchen had always trusted her intuition. "Let's wait a bit longer. Xiao Fan should be finished dealing with it soon."
"Oh, right, you mentioned before that the man impersonating you at Grandpa's was Mu Yichen?" She suddenly remembered this matter.
A flash of anger crossed Mu Jiuchen's handsome face. "It was him. This maritime transport issue was also orchestrated by him. After Mr. Chu signed, he left angrily. He thought that with his father's connections, he could sway Mr. Chu to his side, but he forgot that Mr. Chu is a righteous and impartial person, highly respected even by the President, and wouldn't be easily swayed by his glib words."
"His hesitation earlier was probably to test Mu Yichen's capabilities. He has ambition, but not enough strength." In Jin City, he dared to say he was the second most powerful in terms of financial and material resources; no one else could compare.
"Number One just told me that Mu Yichen has issues and advised us to be careful of him. Therefore, Jiang Yuxin has been cooperating with him from the start. He imitated your every move flawlessly, actually to prevent me from being with you."
This was also the reason why she hadn't fallen out with Jiang Yuxin until now.
Mu Jiuchen nodded. "The global economy is declining, and the Jiang family's businesses are also struggling abroad. That's why he's set his sights on me. The previous batch of parts, after they resold them, was enough for them to live comfortably for a lifetime. That's why Mu Yunlei undermined the situation by cooperating with Mr. Jiang. But Mr. Jiang is a cunning man, and in the end, all the blame fell on Mu Yunlei."
Jiang Nuan looked out the window, frowning slightly. "Xiao Fan and the others have come down. It seems they are injured."
