Han Junyan parked his car by the roadside and gazed into the distance, seeing He Kaliannuo, dressed in a red dress, get into a car and drive away.
Meng Jingwei turned to face the 'Iron Pillar.' The 'Iron Pillar' raised his hand and brushed a strand of Meng Jingwei’s hair from her cheek. The two stood in an intimate pose.
If Han Junyan had been doubting before, he was now almost certain that the other person was Qing Muyue!
"He's… actually not dead!"
The sudden revelation left Han Junyan stunned for a long time.
He belatedly realized why Anthony was injured and the mastermind couldn't be found.
It turned out that the real culprit was Qing Muyue.
Last night, Anthony had met with Meng Jingwei and drugged her. Xiao Cheng had arrived in time to save her.
After Qing Muyue learned of this, he went to settle accounts with Anthony and crippled one of his hands.
This explanation made everything logical and reasonable.
Han Junyan gripped the steering wheel tightly. As he was contemplating Qing Muyue's scheme, he saw Qing Muyue looking in his direction from the entrance of a shop not far away.
Qing Muyue's lips moved, as if saying something to Meng Jingwei, and then Meng Jingwei also looked back.
Their gazes fixed on him, but after just a glance, they both looked away, holding each other's hands, and entered the shop.
Han Junyan's pupils widened slightly, disbelieving.
If Qing Muyue was pretending, why were they so brazen when they saw him?
Han Junyan looked around, confirming there were no acquaintances, only himself. He understood then that they simply disdained him!
Therefore, they didn't even bother to pretend.
Inside Yipinju.
Qing Muyue, holding Meng Jingwei's hand, went upstairs. Meng Jingwei looked worried. "Han Junyan saw us. He'll probably tell Anthony immediately."
After all, they were on the same side.
"They'll find out sooner or later. It's just a matter of when."
The man’s fingers caressed the back of her hand, as if reluctant to let go. As they went up the stairs, he said, "The most troublesome person is He Kaliannuo."
"Yes, I'm also very troubled," Meng Jingwei sighed. "The Hunting Grand Ceremony is approaching. I have a feeling that Old Chen Tou and He Xiaolanya will make a big move. They’ve raised an army for a thousand days and are using it for a moment; they won't easily give up on this pawn."
Meng Jingwei's words were spot on.
At that moment, at He Xiaolanya's home, several important figures had arrived.
Old Chen Tou looked at them, took a puff of his cigarette, and said earnestly, "I just received news that Li Yun'er has been placed under house arrest by Han Junyan."
"Yes. With the Hunting Grand Ceremony only a few days away, we must rescue Li Yun'er as soon as possible."
"That’s a given. If we don’t rescue her, will our young master really have to participate in the Hunting Grand Ceremony?"
"He Kaqingtang's meticulously laid plan is to lure the tiger into the lair. Our young master cannot attend."
"Right. He Xiaobei, what are your thoughts?"
…
The few people spoke one after another.
Old Chen Tou quietly puffed on his cigarette, and after a long while, he slowly said, "Li Yun'er was created for this very day. Therefore, everything will proceed according to the original plan."
He Xiaolanya took a sip of her coffee. "Then I'll have to trouble all of you. He Kaqingtang is cunning and extremely vigilant. On the day of the ceremony, Jingwei will still have to attend with me."
"Madam Lanya, please rest assured. With us here, everything has already been arranged." One person nodded and continued, "The Hunting Grand Ceremony is in three days. We must rescue Li Yun'er by tomorrow night at the latest. Otherwise, the plan cannot proceed."
"We will handle this matter. However, Old Man Bei, once the person is rescued, I will hand her over to you. The remaining matters can only be handled by you and Mingjin."
