Jiang Nuan hung up the phone and glanced at her mobile.
\[Mu Corporation Chairman's Affair, Woman Is Pregnant]
Jiang Nuan's brow furrowed involuntarily.
It had already trended, and Xia Tong's photo had been exposed.
Meanwhile, Tan Xue received news early in the morning that the underground operative, "Lone Snake," had been apprehended.
Furthermore, the company she had invested in was acquired by Mu Jiuchen, causing her decades of hard work to go to waste.
With "Lone Snake" captured, she was completely exposed to Jiang Siyun. In her fear, she also acted ruthlessly and began to target Mu Jiuchen's child.
Jiang Nuan was browsing the news when her phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number.
Jiang Nuan hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Jiang Nuan, listen to whose voice this is?" The voice on the other end was wicked and dangerous.
"Mama... Mama..." Hearing the muffled voice, Jiang Nuan's heart jolted. It was Kuobao.
"Hahaha..." The voice suddenly changed to the other person's hateful tone.
"Jiang Nuan, did you hear that? Doesn't the voice sound lovely, doesn't it pierce your heart? Your son's other hand is also broken. Tsk, tsk, what a pity.
If you can't find us within half an hour, you can collect your child's corpse." The person hung up after speaking.
Jiang Nuan's pupils trembled, and the phone clattered to the floor.
Xiao Ruiming's smile froze. Seeing Jiang Nuan's distraught expression, he asked with concern, "Nuannuan, what's wrong? What happened?"
Jiang Nuan snapped back to reality, quickly picked up the phone from the floor, and dialed Tang Ziyi's number.
Tang Ziyi was happy to receive her call. "Nuannuan, are you bringing Kuobao over? Why haven't you arrived yet? I have something to tell you."
Jiang Nuan anxiously asked, "Sister Yiyi, what time did you arrange to meet Kuobao?"
"Ten o'clock."
Jiang Nuan: "Sister Yiyi, Kuobao had a little accident. He's not coming today. I'll call you later."
Jiang Nuan hung up the phone and said in a rapid voice, "Xiao Ruiming, you can turn off the heat for these nourishing soups when the time comes. I have to go out. I'll leave the matters at the wellness center to you."
Without waiting for Xiao Ruiming's reply, Jiang Nuan vanished into the kitchen like a gust of wind.
Just then, Mu Jiuchen also came to pick up nourishing soup for Li QingShuo. He had come personally because he wanted to see Jiang Nuan.
As he arrived at the entrance, he saw Jiang Nuan's graceful figure speed past him as if she hadn't seen him.
Mu Jiuchen's mind suddenly flashed to her injuries, and his expression quickly darkened. He chased after her.
"Nuannuan, what are you doing? You're still injured, why are you running so fast?" Mu Jiuchen said as he followed her.
Jiang Nuan glanced at him. Her wound ached intensely, and she said angrily, "Kuobao has been kidnapped."
Mu Jiuchen: "..."
Jiang Nuan suddenly stopped, her gaze ominously fixed on Mu Jiuchen.
Her gaze made Mu Jiuchen feel immense pressure, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Does your family know Kuobao's identity?"
This sudden question sparked a flash of insight in Mu Jiuchen's mind.
He said in a deep voice, "Tan Xue already knows."
Jiang Nuan clenched her fists, thinking of the man's connection to Tan Xue. With that man arrested, Tan Xue would surely be unwilling to accept it.
Jiang Nuan suppressed her anger and asked, "What else did you do to Tan Xue?"
Mu Jiuchen answered honestly, "I took over the company she had guarded for over a decade. She sent people to injure you like this, do you think I would let her go?"
Mu Jiuchen's voice was extremely cold. He would make Tan Xue lose everything, making her collapse and die bit by bit.
Jiang Nuan looked at his cold expression, her heart filled with complex emotions. She didn't know about any of this he had done.
This also directly reflected another issue: in her anger, Tan Xue had taken action against her son.
She said, "We have investigated another lead. Tan Xue herself is not simple."
Mu Jiuchen nodded. "Yes, she is very complicated. To find a breakthrough, we need to suppress her and make her move. As long as she moves, we will know her true intentions."
"I'm telling you something now: Mu Yunyun is not my father's biological daughter. Don't you find it strange? Tan Xue also had dealings with Jiang Shuo back then."
"Two people who seemed to have no connection had close interactions more than twenty years ago. If you investigate closely, your identity will be revealed soon."
"I sent people to investigate Mu Yunyun's father, but there were no clues at all. Only Tan Xue knows the truth."
Mu Jiuchen had originally intended to tell her this after her injuries had healed a bit, but given the circumstances, he had to make things clear.
Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes. If this were true, she would definitely have to investigate Tan Xue thoroughly.
"Let's save Xiao Kuo first. They only gave me half an hour."
After speaking, Jiang Nuan ran towards the garage. She was very anxious. Xiao Kuo was skilled, but his hand was injured. No matter how capable he was, he was still a child.
Mu Jiuchen pointed towards the intersection. "Nuannuan, my car is at the intersection. Take my car."
Jiang Nuan did not hesitate and got into Mu Jiuchen's car.
"You drive."
Jiang Nuan sat in the passenger seat and immediately opened her phone to track her son's whereabouts.
She opened her phone to track her son's location. Her work was very dangerous, and she feared that one day her child would pose a threat.
She had installed trackers on all three of her children. The wristwatches on their phones could be used to call for help and also to locate their positions.
Soon, Jiang Nuan locked onto her son's location.
"Golden Sword Road Apartment Building 4, Unit 903." A hint of confusion flickered in Jiang Nuan's star-like eyes. He was actually within the city.
Mu Jiuchen knew the place. His high-performance vehicle sped through the traffic. The man's lips were tightly pressed together, and his deep black pupils were filled with anxiety.
Jiang Nuan also activated her hidden earpiece.
"No. 1, I need to go to Golden Sword Road. There's an emergency."
"J, received. License plate number."
Jiang Nuan reported Mu Jiuchen's license plate number so that Mu Jiuchen would be exempt from speeding tickets.
"Alright, be careful!"
Jiang Nuan turned off the hidden earpiece and said, "They will give us a green channel. The other party has already locked onto our location."
Mu Jiuchen looked at her searchingly.
"Who is it?" His voice was slightly hoarse. He knew of that person's existence but had never met him.
"You don't need to worry about it. He will help us." Jiang Nuan's hand holding the phone gradually tightened. A sharp pain in her back, accompanied by a slight sticky, faint smell of blood, made Jiang Nuan frown slightly, but she said nothing.
The wound had damnly reopened.
With the green channel, they reached the vicinity of Golden Sword Road in ten minutes.
Mu Jiuchen parked the car by the roadside, and they quickly got out.
They directly found their destination, but Jiang Nuan looked at Mu Jiuchen and said, "Let's take the stairs."
Mu Jiuchen was a little confused. "Nuannuan, wouldn't taking the elevator be faster?"
Jiang Nuan looked at him as if he were an idiot and explained, "There are surveillance cameras all around. As soon as we entered the monitoring area, taking the elevator would be like walking into a death trap."
