Chapter 174 - She’s Missing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Several female colleagues wanted to talk to him, but no one dared to approach him.

It was because Mu Sihan’s expression was completely cold. His thin lips were tightly pursed together like a sharp knife while he was exuding an aura that warned people from approaching him.

As time continued to pass, Mu Sihan got more impatient the longer he waited, and it eventually became six in the evening. His straight eyebrows furrowed together as his well-defined facial features appeared sharper and colder.

He took out his phone and called her.

However, all he heard was the automated voice on the other end of the line that indicated the phone was switched off. Hearing the message, his pair of deep black eyes darkened under his sunglasses.

“Young Master Mu?” A soft and coy voice trailed over.

It was Lin Wanyue. Mu Sihan stared at the woman, who was teetering over in high heels and a glint of coldness flashed passed his deep black eyes, hidden behind his tinted sunglasses. His voice was cold. “What do you want?”

Lin Wanyue’s heart tightened and she hesitated.

Although she knew that Young Master Mu was rather aloof to people he did not care for, his attitude towards her had always been somewhat civil, perhaps it was because she had given him Xue’er’s items that were left behind.

However, ever since the sponsors’ meeting, he was not even willing to look at her properly. His expression was also exceptionally cold and indifferent.

“Young Master Mu, I actually have one more thing concerning Xue’er that I haven’t told you...”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mu Sihan interrupted Lin Wanyue’s words coldly, “Miss Lin, you shouldn’t be too greedy. I told you last time to tell me everything related to Xue’er in one go. Don’t play any tricks in front of me.” Mu Sihan said coldly as he looked away from Lin Wanyue. “Scram and get out of my sight within three seconds!”

Lin Wanyue shivered unconsciously as she stared at the man who had a handsome but cold expression. The aura around him seemed as cold and bloodthirsty as Hades.

She did not dare to anything else. Her eyes drooped down as she left with a darkened expression.

Another female voice spoke out carefully from behind him after a few seconds. “Young Master Mu?”

Mu Sihan’s face turned colder and darker. “Scram!”

“Young Master Mu, I wanted to ask you if you’re looking for Sister Zhi?”

Mu Sihan turned around and saw Xia Xi from not too far away. He furrowed his straight brows, and his voice remained icy. “Where is she?”

That damned woman. He told her to not work overtime. Why did she always ignore his words?!

“Sister Zhi took leave in the afternoon. From what I could see, She seemed to be in a hurry, though I don’t know what happened.”

Mu Sihan’s black eyes darkened further. His thin lips were pursed tightly into a straight line as his facial features became tense.

What had happened?

The brat that she cared about most was fine in the manor. What else could have happened to her?

A dangerous glint appeared in Mu Sihan’s eyes when he thought about her receiving a bouquet of roses in the morning.

Getting into the sports car, he called Yi Fan.

“I want to know Nan Zhi’s whereabouts within an hour.”

...

Nan Zhi was brought down the mountain by Auntie He forcefully. She suppressed her emotional tears, though her expression was a mixture of sadness and anger. Looking at her, she was just like an injured deer that did not dare to show her injuries in front of others, and would only lick her wounds silently in private.

“Xiao Zhi, go and take a hot shower first. Old master and old madam would not blame you. They won’t want to see you like this.” Auntie He caressed Nan Zhi’s pale face, it was clear her heart was in pain and despair.

Nan Zhi’s throat seemed to have been strangled by someone with strength. It was hoarse and it hurt to talk. “It is my fault. Those people would not use this method to hurt grandfather and grandmother if it wasn’t for me. Because of me, I they were unable to rest in peace, even though they already passed away...”

“Those people will get bad karma, Xiao Zhi. They will get what that deserve. You’re a wonderful girl, Xiao Zhi, no one is more filial than you. You’ve never initiated or provoked others. It’s the other people that want to hurt you, who are evil. You can cry in Auntie He’s arms if you want to cry, my pitiful child.”

Nan Zhi shook her head. She could not cry. She would not cry. Especially since it was something those people wanted her to do. She wouldn’t give them the satisfaction.

“Auntie He, I’ll go and take a shower.”

Nan Zhi finished showering half an hour later. She entered the room that Auntie He prepared for her. However, Auntie He heard a terrifying scream that piece the skies, almost immediately after she entered the room.
