The crowd was in an uproar!
What an incredible disguise technique!
Jiang Nuan fetched a wet wipe and cleaned the blood from Yan Xi's face.
Someone sent by Number One arrived and took away Yan Xi's corpse.
Jiang Nuan looked at the crowd and said, "It's alright now, everyone can rest assured. You can all come out now."
At this moment, a police officer standing beside Mo Zhe spoke loudly, "Everyone, please don't be afraid. The woman who was shot just now was a murderer. She has been dealt with, and she will no longer cause any problems here. You can all continue to feel at ease and come here to eat."
Jiang Nuan looked at him gratefully, giving him a thankful glance.
The man smiled and left with the others.
Some who couldn't accept it gradually left.
Others, unconcerned, continued to eat normally.
The wellness center returned to its normal state.
Xiao Ruiming led everyone back to the kitchen to continue their work.
The wellness center provided free food to anyone who needed it.
Things in this world are like this; focus doesn't stay on one point. Even earth-shattering events can be forgotten in a few days.
The online commentary also returned to normal, thanks to the clarifications from the diners.
Mu Jiuchen took Jiang Nuan away. Once in the car, Jiang Nuan actively nestled into Mu Jiuchen's arms.
He held her tightly and kissed the top of her head, gently comforting her, "Nuan Nuan, it's all over. Yan Xi wasn't worth sympathizing with. She never cherished herself."
Jiang Nuan responded with a muffled "Mmm."
She hadn't expected Number One to be so ruthless this time.
Directly killing Yan Xi.
And she, naturally, had no sympathy for cruel and wicked people.
"I'm sad, sad that she died so young, not cherishing herself. Life cannot be redone. From when I knew her until now, she lived a very busy life, staying in the laboratory during the day and hunting at night. Men were as easy for her as changing clothes. Perhaps only with those men, facing their affection, could she find herself."
"She was actually very talented. She could think of things others couldn't. Although some were unorthodox methods, they had their merits."
"I'm sad, but I don't actually know what I'm sad about. I'm just unhappy."
Mu Jiuchen understood that feeling. "How about I take you to an auction? There happens to be a charity auction today."
Mu Jiuchen looked at her tenderly.
Jiang Nuan shook her head, her expression blank. "No, Yunyun is home alone, and I'm worried. Besides, with Yan Xi dead, they might make other moves. We need to prepare. I have a feeling something will happen at the upcoming banquet."
Jiang Nuan still felt a lingering unease in her heart.
Yan Xi was just the tip of the iceberg.
Mu Jiuchen knew she wanted some peace and quiet, so he drove her home.
He Junshu and Li Zhenting saw what was happening online and were anxiously waiting at home.
Seeing Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan return, the couple immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nuan Nuan, is the wellness center alright?" He Junshu quickly asked.
"Mom, Dad, don't worry. It's all been handled," Jiang Nuan guessed they had seen the news online.
"It's good that everything is fine. Xiao Jiu, quickly take Nuan Nuan upstairs to rest. I'll make some ginger tea so you don't catch a cold." He Junshu looked at Jiang Nuan's pale, bloodless face and was a little worried.
"Okay, Mom, don't worry." Mu Jiuchen gave them a reassuring look and took Jiang Nuan upstairs.
Li Zhenting watched the couple's retreating figures, his brow furrowed slightly. "Things are happening every few days. Xiao Jiu and Nuan Nuan aren't having an easy time. Who knows what will happen next?"
He Junshu was also very worried. She looked at her husband and asked, "Zhenting, how are our immigration procedures going?"
Li Zhenting nodded and said, "They are in process. I also like living here. We can see our son, granddaughter, and grandson anytime. We're getting old, and it's time to enjoy our family." Li Zhenting smiled; he never dared to dream of such happiness.
From now on, he would hand over all company matters to his younger son.
With his elder son helping to oversee things, he truly had nothing to worry about.
"I think so too. Mainly, Mom is getting old, and I want to spend more time with her. She's seemed much more energetic since I returned. Elder brother has gone to the countryside. That elder sister-in-law still hasn't accepted him, but seeing how they were during Chinese New Year, they might be together soon. That would be good, resolving one of Mom's worries."
"When chatting, I can still tell that she's worried about Elder brother."
Li Zhenting had also seen Elder brother and that elder sister-in-law and felt that it was highly possible for them to be together.
"It's possible. If they can be together, then let it be. At our age, we live one year less each year. If we can live according to our own wishes, that is already the greatest happiness."
He Junshu smiled. "Isn't that the truth? You rest, and I'll go make some ginger soup so no one catches a cold."
He Junshu said this as she walked towards the kitchen.
Li Zhenting followed her, saying as he walked, "Wife, I'll help you peel the ginger."
"Alright, alright, I knew you couldn't sit still." He Junshu didn't refuse.
The couple smiled at each other.
After going upstairs, Jiang Nuan saw that her daughter was taking a nap.
Jiang Nuan also saw a message from Kuo Bao on her phone asking about the wellness center. She replied to the people she knew, telling them that everything was fine now.
Mu Jiuchen stayed upstairs with her, accompanying her quietly when she didn't want to talk, watching the scenery outside.
In the apartment!
The atmosphere was strange, eerie, and terrifying.
The man looked at the elder opposite him, his expression very grim. "Yan Xi is dead, and the research project is shelved. I thought Yan Xi could withdraw safely, but I didn't expect her to die! Jiang Nuan set a trap for her."
Still not appeased after roaring, he angrily swept everything on the coffee table to the floor, smashing it everywhere.
The elder frowned slightly, his expression extremely displeased. He angrily said, "Stop it! What kind of state are you in now? If a person is dead, they are dead. They were just pawns. If they can't be used, abandon them. The researchers have already sent people over, so you don't need to worry."
Hearing this, the man was still not appeased. The people sent over were their people; how could they be as useful as their own?
Yan Xi had enough courage, enough ruthlessness.
Smart and true to her word, she was an excellent ally.
Others might not be as ruthless as Yan Xi.
He wanted someone like Yan Xi.
"Jiang Nuan is really not dead. She has truly detoxified herself. If even this couldn't kill her, then find a sniper and kill her in secret. Because of Jiang Nuan, every single one of our plans has been foiled by her."
The man roared through gritted teeth.
He hated Jiang Nuan to death.
If not for Jiang Nuan, everything would have gone smoothly.
