Jiang Nuan watched his retreating back, her eyes narrowing. There had to be some unsavory secret behind this.
What could it be?
What was Jiang Shuo's reason for switching the children back then?
And who were Liu Fei and her son going to meet?
Could it be someone who knew their origins?
Jiang Nuan slowly stood up, whispered "Thank you" into her hidden earpiece, and left the meeting room.
At Blue Mountain Apartments.
Lu Qiaoyi had been living there.
She had just finished her yoga when her phone vibrated slightly. She picked it up and saw a message notification.
She tapped to open it, and her pupils contracted.
"[Yiyi, Liu Fei and her son's bodies have been cremated. We've found Jiang Haoyu's phone, but Liu Fei's phone is missing.]"
Just as Lu Qiaoyi was about to make a call, another message arrived.
"[This woman picked up Liu Fei's phone. I've already checked her information; her name is Meng Yuan, and the other man is Jiang Xingyu, Jiang Shuo's son.]"
"[However, judging by how broken the phone is, they shouldn't be able to find anything?]"
Lu Qiaoyi dared not let such an accident happen. She quickly sent a message.
"[Rader, I don't care what method you use, you must retrieve the phone. Do not leave any clues for the other party. Even the slightest oversight could plunge us into eternal damnation.]"
Rader: "[We've found her address. I'll send people over now.]"
Lu Qiaoyi: "[Hurry. You must get the phone back.]"
Putting down her phone, Lu Qiaoyi sank into anxious anticipation.
Meng Yuan took another nap. After bathing, her mood had calmed considerably. She changed her clothes and wanted to go for a walk to buy some groceries for dinner.
As soon as she opened the door, two men wearing masks and sunglasses, with black baseball caps covering them from head to toe, rushed in.
She was startled and was about to call for help when one of the men covered her mouth.
After closing the door, the two instantly carried Meng Yuan upstairs.
"Mmmph mmmph mmmph..." Meng Yuan struggled with all her might. Damn it, how could she encounter robbers in broad daylight?
"Let go," Meng Yuan roared, her voice muffled.
What were the building's security guards doing, letting such terrifying people in?
One of the men watched her while the other rummaged through everything in Meng Yuan's room.
Meng Yuan froze. A daytime home invasion for robbery seemed unlikely. What were they looking for?
With this thought, Meng Yuan suddenly stopped being afraid.
A moment later, the man who had been searching returned and shook his head at the other.
"Nothing."
"Where is Liu Fei's phone?" the man couldn't help but ask.
Meng Yuan was stunned. They were here for Liu Fei's phone.
Liu Fei and her son were indeed murdered deliberately.
"Speak, where is the phone?" Da Feng Novel Network
Meng Yuan shook her head slightly. The phone was in Jiang Nuan's room. They couldn't have it.
"Slap..." The man slapped Meng Yuan.
"Ah..." Meng Yuan's head spun, her face aching numbly. She collapsed onto the floor.
"Tie her up. We'll split up and search."
"Okay!" The man took out a rope, quickly bound Meng Yuan's hands and feet, and taped her mouth shut.
Then, the two of them frantically searched upstairs.
Meng Yuan tried to find a way to get help. They couldn't find the phone, or all the clues would be gone.
However, no matter how she struggled, she couldn't untie herself.
Meng Yuan spotted her laptop on the table. She could call Jiang Nuan on her laptop.
Unable to stand, she could only roll on the ground.
Jiang Nuan returned home, tossed her backpack onto the sofa, and was about to rest when she felt an unusual quietness in the house.
The three children were not home. Yuan Yuan was fine today and should be home. She had opened the door loudly; Yuan Yuan should have heard her.
Why was there no sound?
Always vigilant, she glanced at the floor and saw faint scratch marks from the doorway to the staircase.
Her gaze suddenly turned cold, and she slowly walked upstairs.
Reaching Meng Yuan's door, she found it closed. Her own door, however, was ajar, and faint sounds of rummaging could be heard from inside.
A faint shadow flickered, and Jiang Nuan's vigilance intensified.
"Found it!" the other man shouted excitedly and ran out of the room, only to see Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan also saw the phone in his hand. She said sternly, "Liu Fei and her son were indeed murdered."
The man froze, his eyes under the sunglasses glaring at Jiang Nuan. "Get lost. I advise you not to meddle."
Jiang Nuan smiled thinly. "On my territory, can you still leave?"
A commotion suddenly erupted from behind Jiang Nuan. The man behind her emerged with a chair and swung it towards Jiang Nuan's head.
Jiang Nuan spun around, catching the chair with one hand and delivering a sharp kick to the man's abdomen.
"Ah..." The man fell to the ground, his face contorted with an ugly expression of fear as he looked at the formidable Jiang Nuan, who was like a war god.
Standing against the light, she was both beautiful and formidable.
The man behind Jiang Nuan saw that things were not going well. This woman's fighting skills were very professional. He turned sharply, entered Jiang Nuan's room, grabbed a chair, lifted it, and smashed the phone to pieces.
Hearing the noise, Jiang Nuan turned and entered, only to see the phone shattered on the floor.
She glanced at the man and sneered, "Do you think you can escape legal repercussions by doing this?"
The man sneered, "You have no evidence left?"
Jiang Nuan looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Aren't you two the best evidence? Liu Fei's phone is destroyed, but there are two living people here. Is there any stronger evidence than you?"
The man: "..."
"Hmph! Do you think you can catch us?"
Jiang Nuan's gaze was light and casual, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
She said unhurriedly, "You can wait and see."
Jiang Nuan took out her phone and dialed the emergency number.
The man watched helplessly, unable to stop her.
"Damn woman, you're asking for death." The man's furious voice suddenly erupted as he swung the chair towards Jiang Nuan. Jiang Nuan stood her ground, her long legs sweeping out forcefully, tripping the man. He fell to the ground, his head trapped in the chair, unable to get up, groaning in pain.
Jiang Nuan turned, locked the door, and ran to Meng Yuan's room. She pushed the door open forcefully and saw Meng Yuan bound and gagged. The previous man, holding a knife, had it pressed against Meng Yuan's neck.
Meng Yuan looked at Jiang Nuan with a wronged expression, thinking, won't you save me first?
The man, holding the hostage, was incredibly arrogant. "Aren't you very capable? Come here."
Jiang Nuan slowly stepped forward. The man's pupils trembled. He remembered her terrifying kick, which had made him doubt his life from the pain and unable to stand for a long time. Seeing Jiang Nuan approaching, he suddenly shouted, "Don't come any closer. If you come any closer, I'll kill her."
