Chapter 381: Chapter 381: The Target Is Not Her
Over the past three days, Shi Yu had mobilized all his subordinates to conduct a search.
Even the assassins hidden in the shadows were all ordered to act.
When Qin Jin found out about this, he sent many people to help, but even with so many resources, they still couldn’t find Shen Mu.
Because Mo Qingxin had done an exceptionally good job at keeping things secret, leaving no clues or traces behind, making it impossible to find any leads.
Shen Cheng, on the other hand, became calm.
When she went out, she was extremely careful and cautious.
She intentionally shook off her bodyguards and found that someone was always following her.
And not just one person.
Some of these people were disguised, seemingly passing her by unintentionally but were actually monitoring her every move.
It was during this time that Shen Cheng realized something.
If these people were targeting her and intending to harm her, they would have acted by now, but they hadn’t.
Which means, their target was not her.
Because her mind was preoccupied, Shen Cheng accidentally stepped on a stone as she turned a corner.
Her body wobbled, and she was about to fall, but suddenly someone caught her hand!
She looked up to see a woman dressed in professional attire.
The woman was at least 1.7 meters tall, with a pretty face and figure.
"Miss, you must be pregnant, please be careful when you walk, falling would be bad..."
The woman smiled and her gaze swept over Shen Cheng’s slightly protruding belly without any suspicion.
But Shen Cheng noticed a small detail.
There was a barely noticeable tattoo on the side of the woman’s ear.
If one was not paying attention, it would have gone unnoticed.
And this tattoo, it looked extremely similar to a symbol she had seen somewhere before.
If she remembered correctly, Mo Qingxin had the same tattoo on her body.
Only, her placement was below the collarbone and above the chest.
A place that most people wouldn’t notice.
There may be no issue with this woman appearing suddenly, but she has a tattoo similar to the one on Mo Qingxin, which could only mean one thing.
She and Mo Qingxin come from the same place, under orders from the same person.
No, rather from the Master.
The conversation overheard outside a restroom at a previous alcohol party can prove that there is someone behind them giving orders.
Shen Cheng said softly: "Thank you."
As she turned around, the corners of her mouth curled up into a sly smile.
Just a few steps away, she intentionally leaned forward and at the same time, let out an exclamation: "Ah!"
In the nick of time, just when she was about to fall to the ground, the woman quickly stepped forward and caught her wrist.
Indeed, this was no ordinary woman.
Even though she was not scared at all, Shen Cheng pretended to be startled: "Phew, glad I didn’t fall!"
Those unaware would definitely be fooled by her realistic acting.
Including the woman, who believed in her reaction completely, and supported her to stabilize, before kindly reminding her: "Miss, next time you go out, have someone accompany you! If it wasn’t for me today, you would have fallen twice already, be more careful!".
"Yes, I know."
Shen Cheng said politely with a light smile.
The woman hummed, then turned around and quickly walked in another direction.
Watching the woman walk away, the smile on Shen Cheng’s lips gradually faded.
Indeed...
Mo Qingxin’s target, was not her.
