In the photo was a 17 -year-old girl sitting beside a piano. There were all kinds of piano competition trophies on the cabinet behind her.
When Monchitov had handed the photo to Mu Chengxi, he instructed him to protect it well. It was the only photo left by his beloved disciple.
Mu Chengxi looked at the little girl in the photo and felt a sense of deja vu. He could not recall where he had seen this woman before.
“Master Xi, Monchitov agreed to your request to come to Ice City because he wanted you to help him find the little girl who has been missing for more than 30 years? That’s not right. It’s been more than 30 years. She should be a middle-aged woman now.”
“Why did that woman, with such high achievements over thirty years ago, suddenly disappear? Could it be out of jealousy, or has she been harmed?”
Mu Chengxi placed the photo on the seat at the side and took out his phone from his pocket. He saw no message on his phone, and there were no replies to the message he sent to Wen Xin.
“Get someone to investigate secretly. Monchitov said that this person has a
special identity. He has been investigating this person’s whereabouts in secret all these years. When the intelligence department is investigating, be careful not to leak it to avoid causing trouble for that person.”
“I know!”
Mu Bei drove the car to the entrance of Moyu Pavilion and stopped. The manager of Moyu Pavilion personally waited in the hall. When he saw Mu Bei leave the car, he hurriedly came out of the hotel and respectfully handed the lunch box to Mu Bei.
“Mr. Mu, this is the food you ordered. It has just been cooked. I guarantee that it won’t affect the taste when you get home. If you need anything next time, just give me a call. I can deliver the food to your door.”
“Alright, thank you, Manager Sun.”
Mu Bei placed the lunch box on the passenger seat and glanced at the man sitting in the back of the car with a gloomy expression. “Xi Master, did something happen
“Return to Yuelu Garden…”
Mu Chengxi called Wen Xin while Mu Bei was collecting the food. Wen Xin did not pick up at all. He could not help but feel a little worried. This was the first time she did not pick up her phone since he had known her.
Hearing Mu Chengxi’s serious tone, Mu Bei seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter. He immediately got into the car and drove away quickly.
Mu Chengxi had just stepped out of the elevator when he heard an unusual sound from the corridor.
Mu Bei, who was following behind him, also noticed it. He quickly walked to the safety door and saw a man in black clothes and a black hood curled up in the corner. He was moaning in pain.
“Master Xi, there’s a man here. He has been injured. He…” At this moment, Mu Bei noticed the two silver needles in his shoulder. He was certain that Wen Xin had done it.
“Master Xi, it was Miss Wen who did it.”
Mu Chengxi also noticed the silver needles. His dark and deep eyes immediately darkened. He pressed his fingers on the lock, and the door was unlocked.
Mu Chengxi pushed open the door and looked around the living room. Guagua heard the sound of the door opening and wagged her tail as she quickly walked over. She bit Mu Chengxi’s trousers and pulled him towards the bedroom.
Noticing that Guagua’s actions were a little rough, Mu Chengxi’s uneasiness surged into his heart once again. He did not dare to think about what Wen Xin had encountered at home or what kind of danger she would be in. However, judging by Guagua’s actions, he was certain that Wen Xin would still be home.
Mu Chengxi gently patted Guagua’s head. He placed his hand on the bedroom door handle and gently pushed the door open. For a moment, he almost forgot to breathe.
When he pushed open the door and saw Wen Xin lying on the bed, he quickly walked over to Wen Xin’s side and lifted the blanket to check if she was injured.
After checking that Wen Xin had no external injuries, he carried her and prepared to bring her to the hospital for a checkup.
At this moment, Wen Xin woke up. She looked at Mu Chengxi’s side profile in a daze and said softly, “You’re back?”
Hearing Wen Xin’s words, Mu Chengxi’s nervousness slowly eased, but he did not let go of Wen Xin’s hand.
“I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up. Where are you injured? Or if you feel unwell, you must tell me.”
Wen Xin could hear the nervousness in Mu Chengxi’s tone. She sobered up a lot. She raised her arms and cupped Mu Chengxi’s face. She raised her head and kissed his tightly pursed lips.
“I was just under some anesthesia, but I’m fine now. Don’t worry, I have the antidote.”
Wen Xin gently patted Mu Chengxi’s shoulder, indicating for him to put her down. He was hugging her arm too tightly, and her bones were about to be crushed by him.
“Put me down first. You’re hurting me!”
Mu Chengxi hurriedly placed Wen Xin on the bed. He wanted to check where he had hurt her, but before he could touch Wen Xin, she grabbed him.
“Don’t be so tense; I’m not that fragile. Even if ten of those petty thugs from outside came, they wouldn’t harm me in the slightest. However, the drug he used is quite potent. Despite taking an antidote, I still feel a bit drowsy.”
Wen Xin pulled Mu Chengxi’s hand and made him sit down on the bed. It was a little tiring to talk with her head raised like this.
Mu Chengxi’s expression did not change because of Wen Xin’s words. His handsome eyebrows were tightly knitted together, expressing his strong dissatisfaction.
“Why didn’t you call me when something so serious happened to you? Do you think I’m useless? At the dock, you risked your life to protect me. Now that a bad person has appeared at home, you don’t even know to call me. Do you think that I’m someone who can’t hold up the sky for you?”
Mu Chengxi narrowed his eyes at Wen Xin. He really wanted to crack open Wen Xin’s little head and see what was inside. Didn’t she know to contact him first when something happened? Or did she feel that he was unreliable?
She could hear the anger in Mu Chengxi’s tone. Wen Xin leaned against the headboard to put some distance between them and looked at Mu Chengxi with a dull expression.
“I’m not angry, and you’re already throwing a tantrum here. Do you think I have a good temper?”
Just the thought that the emotional mess stirred up by Mu Chengxi affected her made Wen Xin’s mood sour.
She lifted one leg, rested her arm on it, propped her head with her hand, and gave Mu Chengxi a defiant look.
Their deep, dark eyes met – Mu Chengxi instantly lost his temper. He reached out to grab Wen Xin’s hand, but the next moment, she forcefully slapped his hand away. In an instant, a red, swollen fingerprint appeared on Mu Chengxi’s fair hand..
