Chapter 1184 Possible Shadow
"Mu Bai~." He called weakly.
Xiaoya quickly walked to the bedside and comforted him, "Brother Yun, you're awake! Sister Mu Bai is fine. She's at the police station taking a statement now."
Cheng Yunchuan finally felt relieved. He struggled to sit up, but was stopped by Xiaoya.
"Brother Yun, the doctor said you need to rest well and don't move around." Xiaoya said with concern.
Cheng Yunchuan lay back helplessly and closed his eyes. The scene of Jiang Mubai being held hostage by the kidnappers kept appearing in his mind. His heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife.
He secretly swore that he would make those who hurt Jiang Mubai pay the price!
……
The next day, Cheng Yunchuan was discharged from the hospital. He rushed to the police station and met Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Mubai looked very haggard, his face was pale and his eyes were red and swollen.
"Mu Bai~." Cheng Yunchuan hugged her in his arms with heartache and held her tightly.
Jiang Mubai grabbed Cheng Yunchuan's clothes tightly, buried his head in his chest, and cried silently.
Cheng Yunchuan patted her back gently and comforted her softly: "It's okay, everything is over, I will always protect you."
Jiang Mubai raised his head, looked at Cheng Yunchuan with tears in his eyes, and said with a sob: "Yunchuan, I'm scared."
Cheng Yunchuan kissed away the tears on her face distressedly and said firmly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
He hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.
At this moment, he felt that his love for Jiang Mubai was stronger than ever before.
He swore to protect her with his life and not let her come into any harm again.
However, he didn't know that a bigger crisis was quietly approaching.
Cheng Yunchuan hugged Jiang Mubai and walked out of the police station. A black nanny car had already been parked on the side of the road. When the driver saw the two people coming out, he hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door for them.
Jiang Mubai was still afraid and huddled in Cheng Yunchuan's arms the whole time, as if this was the only way she could find a moment of security. Cheng Yunchuan didn't say much, but just held her in his arms, feeling extremely distressed.
After getting in the car, Jiang Mubai was still unusually quiet. She hugged her knees and buried her head in them. Cheng Yunchuan turned sideways and called her softly: "Mubai, are you okay?"
She didn't respond, but her body trembled slightly.
Cheng Yunchuan felt heartbroken. He approached her cautiously and put his hand on her shoulder: "It's okay, it's really okay. We've confirmed that you're not at the police station, and their accomplices have all been arrested. No one will hurt you again."
"Yunchuan, I... I really thought that we would never see each other again." Jiang Mubai's voice was hoarse as if it was tearing apart, but just a few words contained great fear and helplessness.
"Don't think too much." Cheng Yunchuan pulled her into his arms, stroking her back, his eyes suddenly becoming gloomy and cold: "They are not worthy of threatening your life. I will make them pay the price, no matter what it takes."
Jiang Mubai moved slightly, and finally raised her face to look at him. There were still tears in her eyes, but at this moment, she revealed a complex emotion that was hard to guess: "Yunchuan, you shouldn't have rushed out just now... They have knives and weapons. Do you know what to do if you get hurt more seriously?"
"So what?" Cheng Yunchuan asked without hesitation, looking straight at her, his tone was firm: "As long as it's for you, I'm willing to do anything. Your safety is more important to me than my own life."
Jiang Mubai's eyes became hot, and tears welled up in her eyes again. She sobbed softly and buried her face in his chest again: "But I'm afraid of you doing this."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Cheng Yunchuan comforted her softly, lowered his head and placed a kiss on her hair.
When the car drove to the bottom of Jiang Mubai's apartment, she hesitated to get out of the car. Cheng Yunchuan keenly noticed her hesitation and asked in a low voice: "Don't you want to go home?"
Jiang Mubai nodded. She raised her red and swollen eyes and looked at him, asking in a low voice: "Can I live with you temporarily?"
Cheng Yunchuan was startled, and then a trace of relief quietly passed through his heart. He didn't expect that Jiang Mubai, who had always been independent and stubborn, would have such a soft and dependent side.
He didn't hesitate, a gentle response escaped his lips: "Of course, I'm glad you want to."
Jiang Mubai sniffed softly, and his broken heart seemed to find a moment of peace in his voice.
Late at night in the city center, the Millennium Hotel is enveloped in bright lights.
Inside a luxurious presidential suite, the lights were dim and luxurious. The night view of half of the city was visible through the glass window, but the people in the room were worried.
A middle-aged man with stubble sat on the sofa, a half-burned cigar between his fingers, his gloomy eyes fixed on the door.
Click! The door was finally opened, and a young man in a black suit hurried in: "Boss, the kidnapper has changed his statement."
"Speak." The man exhaled a puff of smoke, his brows furrowed.
"They confessed that someone ordered them to kidnap Jiang Mubai." The young man lowered his voice, obviously unsure: "However, we are still not sure who is behind this."
The man's face suddenly darkened, and he slammed his cigar into the ashtray. "Humph, it looks like someone has some bad intentions." He patted the knee of his suit pants, his narrow eyes flickering with coldness. "Investigate, follow the clues, I want to know who is targeting Jiang Mubai."
"Yes!" The young man nodded and was about to turn around when he was stopped by the man.
The man tilted his head slightly, his eyes dangerous: "Wait! Also, keep an eye on Cheng Yunchuan, he is not a simple person, this game is about to get more exciting."
On the other side, in Cheng Yunchuan's apartment.
When Jiang Mubai came out of the shower, she was wrapped in a loose nightgown, with wet hair hanging on her shoulders. She looked tired and fragile, like a flower swaying in the wind and rain.
Cheng Yunchuan came out of the kitchen with hot milk. Seeing her like this, he smiled and said, "Come here, drink it while it's hot to warm your stomach."
Jiang Mubai took it gratefully, lowered her head and took a sip. The sweet taste made her relax a little.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Cheng Yunchuan sat beside her, his eyes falling on her gently.
"Much better." Jiang Mubai replied in a low voice. After a moment, he turned his head and looked at him cautiously: "Yunchuan, are we in any trouble?"
Cheng Yunchuan's eyes sank slightly, but he didn't answer directly. He reached out and gently brushed her wet hair: "Don't think too much, I will take care of everything. Go to bed early tonight. Do you have any announcements tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Jiang Mubai responded, but his eyes were still filled with worry.
The room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard. Cheng Yunchuan looked at her thin silhouette and swore secretly in his heart. However, he did not tell her that the shadow of the person behind the scenes had already vaguely emerged in his mind.
