Li Qingshuo quickly shook his head and raised an eyebrow with a smile, "I never said that."
Mu Jiuchen raised an eyebrow slightly, staring intently into the car.
Jiang Nuan had one more place to go: Elder Jiang's villa. Everyone he knew had been sent to search for her, but there was still no sign of her.
Mu Jiuchen had also instructed people to continue searching in other unknown locations, but there was still no news.
Days and nights passed, and not a single trace was found.
Yun Xia looked at the two of them and said, "It couldn't be Nuan Nuan. She doesn't like such enclosed spaces. She loves motorcycles and enjoys the feeling of freedom in her free time. Even to protect me, she would use other methods, not this kind of self-abuse."
Yun Xia's words were pointed.
Mu Jiuchen's face darkened. He hadn't abused himself; he had simply fallen ill due to the cold weather.
Yun Xia looked at the black off-road vehicle and felt it couldn't be Nuan Nuan.
She understood Nuan Nuan's personality the best.
"You won't find her. When she's on a mission, she transforms into someone else. Even if you know her well, even if you, Ninth Master, are her lover, if she doesn't want you to find her, you absolutely won't find her."
"Because she can transform into anyone in this world. Her makeup skills are incredible."
Mu Jiuchen narrowed his eyes, recalling the banquet in Modu. After Jiang Nuan's disguise, at first glance, she looked completely unfamiliar. If it weren't for her eyes, he wouldn't have recognized her.
Li Qingshuo added, "She'll definitely appear when Xia Xia gives birth."
Mu Jiuchen had also considered this, but it would take a long time.
"Hmph!" Yun Xia glared at Li Qingshuo.
Li Qingshuo chuckled sheepishly.
"Xia Xia, you're worried about your good sister, and I'm worried about my good friend too."
Jiang Nuan left as she pleased. A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!
"Nuan Nuan has always been rational. She left for a reason. She'll return after she's finished what she needs to do."
"Also, from a woman's perspective, if the man I like is kissing another woman, I would break up and leave heartbroken. Can't you give her some time?"
Li Qingshuo immediately made a promise.
"Xia Xia, I promise I haven't touched any other woman besides you."
During this time, they had been spending every moment together. Yun Xia hadn't deliberately kept her distance from him, and his gentleness and thoughtfulness were slowly moving her.
Her mother was right: women needed to be cherished. Men needed to be considerate and pay attention to their emotions to win their hearts.
Occasionally, when he saw Yun Xia smiling so innocently, he would be deeply moved.
She was a very good girl.
Yun Xia: "..."
Mu Jiuchen, who had been force-fed affection: "..."
Go back to your own backyard.
Get your outstanding affection away from here!
He couldn't take any more blows right now.
After Li Qingshuo and Yun Xia left, Mu Jiuchen was alone again.
He hated loneliness, hated thinking wildly by himself.
He lay quietly on the sofa, gazing blankly at the scenery outside the window. Xiao Fan was working, occasionally glancing up at Mu Jiuchen's IV drip.
The hall was quiet, with only the occasional sound of Xiao Fan typing.
On this winter night, the wind was bone-chilling.
In the villa behind Mu Jiuchen, Jiang Nuan stood by the window, looking at the dark villa before her, its outline blurred by the falling snow.
It was the first snowfall of the winter, and it was heavy. By morning, everything would be covered in a layer of white.
Jiang Nuan took a deep breath. This location was excellent, and she had asked Number One to help her rent it.
The rent was sky-high, and it pained her so much that she couldn't sleep well for a night.
She had been living here for four days, watching Mu Jiuchen frantically search for her every day. She felt heartbroken, but as she had predicted, someone was secretly targeting Mu Jiuchen and Li Qingshuo.
However, Jiang Nuan always thought ahead, and her current concern was Yuan Yuan.
In the past few days, she had tracked Yuan Yuan's whereabouts and was actively arranging her newly purchased house. At night, she returned to He Mingrun's apartment to stay.
Li Qingshuo was already being targeted. He Mingrun's family background was even better than Li Qingshuo's, so there was no reason why the perpetrators would let the He family off.
Therefore, her initial premonition was correct.
She had suffered an episode in the past few days, and during the moments of excruciating pain, the person she thought of was Mu Jiuchen. By his side, she wouldn't feel this much pain. She knew it was psychological, but she couldn't help but think that way.
There was no antidote for this poison. Until she found one, she could only alleviate the physical pain.
Number One said that Han Yifan was still appearing as a secondary personality, which somewhat relieved her. As long as his main personality wasn't triggered, Han Yifan wouldn't bother her during this time.
Jiang Nuan stood by the bedside for a long time. Looking through the binoculars, she saw that Mu Jiuchen was not in his room. As it was late, she prepared to return to her room to rest.
She planned to go look for Yuan Yuan first thing tomorrow morning.
Late at night, in the dimly lit private room, the atmosphere remained eerie.
This time, there was an additional person in the room. Four people sat facing each other.
One of them was Wen Nuan, who had been rescued from Ye Se.
In just five days, she had been tortured to the point of being almost unrecognizable. Her face was sallow, her skin dull, and she looked terrifying.
She leaned weakly on the sofa, while the other three looked at her without a hint of sympathy.
Wen Nuan looked at the young man next to her.
"Why didn't you save me sooner?" Even her voice was weak.
In the past few days, men had continuously entered her room, and the room was filled with a foul stench, a mixture of various smells, making her wish she were dead.
The young man beside her smiled wickedly.
"You also know that we spent a lot of money and resources to find you. Rescuing you now is also very risky. Your medicine is working effectively. Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan have parted ways, and it's successful.
Tonight, the target is He Mingrun. I've already sent the medicine, and the people have been arranged."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nuan's lips curved into a malicious smile. "Mu Jiuchen, you dared to do this to me, and I won't let you off."
Jiang Nuan stood by the window for a while, a cold wind blowing, making her shiver.
To avoid getting sick, she put away her binoculars and closed the window.
Looking at the empty house, she told herself in her heart, "Mu Jiuchen, wait a little longer. In half a month at most, I will return to your side."
Jiang Nuan returned to her room and was about to rest when she checked Meng Yuan's whereabouts.
Why was she still at the new house at this hour?
She checked He Mingrun's phone location again; he was at a hotel.
Jiang Nuan paused, then put on her coat again. She felt uneasy. It was so late, why was He Mingrun still at the hotel?
She then checked Meng Yuan's location, and Meng Yuan had already left the new house, heading towards He Mingrun's villa.
She had Number One privately grant her access. Now she could monitor the entire city. She opened the laptop on the table, found the location of the hotel where He Mingrun was, and opened the surveillance of each area. She saw He Mingrun had lost consciousness and was being dragged into a room by two people.
Jiang Nuan grabbed her motorcycle keys and helmet and quickly went downstairs to the hotel.
