Chapter 1040 Warm Things

Jiang Mubai felt that the blood in her body had frozen. She wanted to comfort Cheng Yunchuan and Old Master Cheng, but she found that she could do nothing and could not say anything. The huge grief and helplessness overwhelmed her like a tide.

Cheng Yunchuan held Jiang Mubai's hand tightly, his knuckles turned white and his palms were cold. He felt Jiang Mubai trembling, and held her in his arms, silently comforting her.

Mr. Cheng's crying echoed in the empty corridor, making people feel tight in their hearts. He raised his head, staring at Jiang Mubai with red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied now?"

Jiang Mubai's heart felt like it was stabbed by a needle, the pain was unbearable. She knew how sad Mr. Cheng was at the moment, and she also knew that it was natural for him to vent his anger on her, but she really couldn't bear such accusations.

"Dad, please..." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was also choked with sobs, "Now is not the time to talk about this..."

"Isn't this the right time to talk about this? Then when is the right time to talk about this?" Old Master Cheng stood up suddenly and pointed at Jiang Mubai. "If it weren't for you, how could Yu Wei have died! It's all because of you, you jinx!"

Cheng Yunchuan's face suddenly turned gloomy. He pushed Old Man Cheng away and said, "Enough! Yu Wei's matter has nothing to do with Mu Bai!"

"It doesn't matter? You even ignored your own sister for her! Do you still have me as your father in your eyes?" Old Master Cheng roared.

"You know whether I have you in my eyes or not!" Cheng Yunchuan did not give in. "If you insist on thinking this way, I can't help it!"

Old Master Cheng was so angry that he was shaking all over, and his hand was shaking as he pointed at Cheng Yunchuan, "You...you..."

Jiang Mubai pulled Cheng Yunchuan's sleeve and shook her head gently. She didn't want to see the father and son become enemies because of her.

Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions, "Dad, let's take care of Yuwei's funeral first."

Mr. Cheng didn't say anything. He sat back in his chair dejectedly, covering his face with his hands, his shoulders twitching constantly.

It was already late at night when they came out of the hospital. Cheng Yunchuan was silent all the way, his face was terribly gloomy. Jiang Mubai didn't dare to speak, but just held his hand tightly.

Back at the apartment, Jiang Mubai thought of the mysterious package. She took out the photo and the letter and looked at them carefully again. The woman in the photo did look a bit like her, especially her eyes, which were clear and bright, but with a hint of sadness.

"What are you looking at?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice broke the silence.

Jiang Mubai raised his head and handed him the photo and letter. "I received it today. I don't know who sent it."

Cheng Yunchuan took the photo and letter, looked at them carefully, and frowned, "Do you know this woman?"

Jiang Mubai shook her head, "I don't know her. But..." She hesitated, "I think she looks a bit like me."

Cheng Yunchuan looked at the sentence in the letter again, "You are not completely ignorant." His eyes became deep, as if he had thought of something, "Mu Bai, have you ever thought that you might not be a child of the Jiang family?"

Jiang Mubai was stunned. She had never thought of this possibility. She had always thought that she was the daughter of the Jiang family. Although her parents died when she was very young, she had never doubted her identity.

Cheng Yunchuan's words were like a bomb that exploded in her calm heart. She suddenly remembered some fragments from her childhood, some vague memories, and some things that confused her...

At this moment, a quick doorbell rang, breaking the solemn atmosphere in the room. Cheng Yunchuan walked to the door and looked through the peephole, his face instantly becoming gloomier. He opened the door and saw two policemen standing outside. One of them was holding a photo, and the person in the photo was the woman in the photo...

Cheng Yunchuan's face was as gloomy as the sky before a rainstorm. He snatched the photo from the policeman and asked with a sharp gaze, "What's wrong with this lady?"

The police answered in a businesslike manner: "We are here to investigate a missing person case. The lady in the photo is named Su Wan, and she disappeared a month ago. We received a report that someone found items that were suspected to be hers in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. After DNA comparison, it was confirmed that those items belonged to Su Wan. And the clues provided by the reporter..." The police paused and turned his eyes to Jiang Mubai, "pointed to you."

Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. She? How could she be related to a missing case? She didn't even know this woman named Su Wan.

"That's impossible!" Cheng Yunchuan immediately retorted, "My wife has been busy with work. It's impossible for her to go to an abandoned factory, let alone be related to a missing person case."

"Mr. Cheng, we are just conducting a routine investigation. We hope your wife can cooperate with us and go back to assist in the investigation." Although the police's tone was polite, it left no room for doubt.

Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. "I can cooperate with your investigation, but I really don't know anything."

Cheng Yunchuan held Jiang Mubai's hand tightly, his eyes full of worry and anger. He turned to the police and said, "I can go with her."

In the interrogation room of the police station, the lights were cold and the atmosphere was depressing. Jiang Mubai tried hard to recall his recent itinerary, but he couldn't think of anything suspicious.

"When was the last time you saw Miss Su Wan before she disappeared?" The police's question was like a sharp knife, piercing Jiang Mubai's nerves.

"I don't know her at all." Jiang Mubai's voice trembled a little.

"But, according to the clues we have, Miss Su Wan sent you a package before she disappeared." The police took out the mysterious package and placed it in front of Jiang Mubai.

Jiang Mubai looked at the familiar package, and a picture suddenly flashed through her mind: a man in a black windbreaker, a cap and a mask, sneakily stuffing a package into her mailbox...

"I remember now!" Jiang Mubai raised his head suddenly, "I did receive a package, but I don't know who the sender was."

"Can you describe the sender's appearance?" the police asked.

Jiang Mubai tried hard to recall the man's appearance, but found that his face was blurry, as if shrouded in a layer of fog. "I only remember that he was wearing a black windbreaker, a baseball cap and a mask, and I couldn't see his face clearly."

The policeman's expression became serious. "It seems that we need to investigate further."

The interrogation lasted for several hours, and Jiang Mubai was exhausted both physically and mentally. Cheng Yunchuan had been waiting anxiously outside, and when he saw Jiang Mubai come out, he immediately went up to her and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"It's okay, Mubai, it's okay." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low and gentle, like a warm current, slowly flowing into Jiang Mubai's cold heart.
