Chapter 1325 Silent Contest
She even had the leisure to straighten her torn collar, then looked up at Shadow with a mocking smile on her lips: "Are you sure you want to kill me? If I die, your 100 million will be wasted. Who is Cheng Yunchuan? You are not naive enough to think that he will really pay the money?"
Shadow was obviously choked by Jiang Mubai's words, and the hand holding the dagger could not help but tighten. He glared at Jiang Mubai viciously and said with gritted teeth: "Stop talking nonsense! I must kill you today. You can go and be buried with Mu Xue. Seeing you staring at this face with Cheng Yunchuan makes me sick!"
"What's your relationship with my sister?" Jiang Mubai's face suddenly became serious and he looked at the shadow.
When Shadow heard Jiang Mubai mention Jiang Muxue, a trace of pain and infatuation flashed in his eyes, and his tone softened: "Muxue is my goddess, she is so kind and beautiful, it's all you, you ruined her!"
Jiang Mubai sneered in his heart, but his expression remained calm: "You are talking nonsense, how could my sister be your woman? You are just dreaming."
Shadow ignored Jiang Mubai's words, but seemed to be lost in memories, with a dazed look in his eyes: "I... I once pursued Mu Xue, but she rejected me, saying... that I was not worthy of her. Later, she followed Cheng Yunchuan and lived a life of luxury, but Cheng Yunchuan didn't love her at all, he just used her as a substitute! It's all your fault, you ruined her!"
Jiang Mubai looked at Shadow's infatuated look and felt it was ridiculous. She sneered and said, "You are just dreaming. My sister would never be like this. She chose Cheng Yunchuan from the beginning. So you hate her. Did you kill her?"
Shadow's face turned red due to Jiang Mubai's words. He roared, "You are talking nonsense! How could I kill her? I love her so much that I can't wait. It must be Cheng Yunchuan who forced my Mu Xue to death. Yes, it must be like this. It must be Cheng Yunchuan who killed my Mu Xue!"
Jiang Mubai was too lazy to talk nonsense with this lunatic. She looked at Shadow coldly with an icy tone: "I'll ask you one last time, who are you? What is your relationship with Jiang Muxue? Who is behind you?"
At this moment, the factory gate was pushed open again, and Cheng Yunchuan rushed in with a group of people, holding a black password box in his hand. He saw Jiang Mubai who was held hostage by the shadow at a glance, and his heart suddenly tightened.
"Let her go!" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low and dangerous, like an enraged beast.
When Shadow saw Cheng Yunchuan, a hint of madness flashed in his eyes. He pressed the dagger tighter against Jiang Mubai's neck and roared, "Money! Give me the money!"
Cheng Yunchuan threw the password box in front of Shadow and stared at him closely, fearing that he would do something to hurt Jiang Mubai.
Shadow opened the safe and saw the full cash inside. A hint of greed flashed in his eyes. He pushed Jiang Mubai away and turned around to run.
However, before he could take a step, he was surrounded by the bodyguards brought by Cheng Yunchuan.
Cheng Yunchuan walked quickly to Jiang Mubai, hugged her tightly in his arms, looked her up and down, and asked anxiously: "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Jiang Mubai shook her head and leaned into Cheng Yunchuan's arms, feeling the warmth and sense of security coming from him. She gently patted Cheng Yunchuan's back and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Cheng Yunchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his head and looked at the shadow who was controlled by the bodyguard with cold eyes. He said in a grim tone: "Tell me, who told you to do this?"
Shadow was frightened by Cheng Yunchuan's aura and was trembling and unable to speak.
Cheng Yunchuan sneered, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Don't tell me? Then don't blame me for being rude."
As he spoke, he winked at the bodyguard behind him.
The bodyguards understood, dragged Shadow aside, and began a special interrogation.
Jiang Mubai watched this scene without any ripples in her heart. She knew that Cheng Yunchuan's methods were far more cruel than she had imagined.
After Cheng Yunchuan dealt with the shadow, he turned to look at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of tenderness and doting: "Are you scared? I'll take you home."
Jiang Mubai nodded and followed Cheng Yunchuan out of the abandoned factory.
In the car, Jiang Mubai leaned on Cheng Yunchuan's shoulder and closed his eyes, but his mind kept thinking about what Shadow said.
What kind of person was the original owner's sister? What was her relationship with Cheng Yunchuan? Why would Shadow do anything for her?
Just as Jiang Mubai was lost in thought, Cheng Yunchuan suddenly asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Mubai opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Yunchuan. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell him what Shadow said.
"The shadow just now said that you killed my sister? He also said that I was just my sister's substitute. You have always known about my existence, but you never told me when I asked you before. Now that so many people have come out to tell me the truth that doesn't exist, should Cheng Yunchuan believe you?"
When Cheng Yunchuan heard Jiang Mubai's words, his face instantly turned gloomy. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, veins bulged on the back of his hands, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
"Mu Bai, I said I would tell you when I find a suitable plan."
Cheng Yunchuan's words made Jiang Mubai look unhappy. Jiang Mubai thought that it would be troublesome to investigate what happened back then with the means he had at present.
The atmosphere in the car was stagnant. Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and suppressed the grievance that surged in her heart. In her opinion, the right time mentioned by Cheng Yunchuan was more like an excuse and an avoidance.
She turned her head and looked at the rapidly receding street scene outside the window. The light and shadow of the neon lights danced on her face, but could not illuminate the doubt in her eyes.
After returning to the villa, Jiang Mubai walked straight into the study, turned on the computer, and his slender fingers danced on the keyboard, and lines of code poured down like a waterfall.
She decided to investigate on her own to uncover the mystery surrounding her sister and the truth behind Cheng Yunchuan's evasive words.
At the same time, Cheng Yunchuan drove to Qin Group. Qin Yuanqing was sitting leisurely in his office chair, turning a pen in his hand, with a playful smile on his face: "It is a great honor for Mr. Cheng to come to our humble home."
Cheng Yunchuan sat down opposite him without any hesitation and said straight to the point: "Qin Yuanqing, what do you want to do?"
Qin Yuanqing chuckled: "I should be the one asking you this, right? Are you sincere to Jiang Mubai, or do you have other intentions?"
"It's none of your business to interfere in my affairs." Cheng Yunchuan said in a cold tone, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
"Really? But I just like to meddle in other people's business, especially when it comes to Jiang Mubai." Qin Yuanqing stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and overlooked the night view of the city.
Cheng Yunchuan narrowed his eyes. He knew that Qin Yuanqing's words were full of hidden meaning. A silent contest was unfolding between the two of them.
