Chapter 624: I Thought You Feared Nothing

When Ye Jingcheng got out of his bedroom after changing, he received another call from “Mu Tangxue”.

“Jingcheng, can you come and save me? I’m trapped on the hill. I don’t dare to move. Jingcheng, come and save me.”

“Tangxue, I’ll call the police now. Tell me where you are. Tell me now!”

The signal reception on “Mu Tangxue’s” side was very weak, but she still managed to give him an address. Ye Jingcheng hadn’t heard of the place mentioned, but after knowing where “she” was, he grabbed his coat and rushed outside.

He wanted to make a report to the police.

If Sheng Xiao’s men were really looking for Mu Tangxue, he must get the police there fast.

But what he did not know was that this was Sheng Xiao’s action revenge—an eye for an eye. Since he wanted to use a person who was not in Jianchuan to deal with Xiao Qi’er, Sheng Xiao would gladly play along with him.

Just let him go and search on the hill...

Anyway, there’s a storm tonight.

...

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Mu Qiqi went home in time. At the moment, the dress she had picked out had already been altered according to her size.

Mu Qiqi washed away her tiredness and tried on her dress again in front of the mirror. It was an A-line off-shoulder high-waist dress. The color combination of beige, white, and dark green complimented Mu Qiqi’s skin tone very well. She looked like a noble lady in medieval France in the dress.

“Alright, Mistress. Chief Sheng will come to fetch you at six.” The stylist tied her hair into a bun on top of her head. The fluffy baby hair around her hairline made her look even more beautiful.

“Thank you.” Mu Qiqi almost fell asleep. It has been a while since she attended a banquet with Sheng Xiao.

So, Mu Qiqi was a little bit nervous this time, and especially so because she was not meeting with just any ordinary businessmen. The people she was going to meet were big figures who frequently appeared in the news.

...

At the police station, Feng Shanshan had just sent the haters away. After all, it was New Year’s Eve, and everyone wanted to celebrate the New Year at home.

When the sky was getting dark and no new case popped up, Feng Shanshan looked at Tang Yan. She wanted to suggest to him that they go home early and spend New Year’s Eve at the fireplace.

But the single men from the police station invited Tang Yan out for a drink.

“Captain Tang, the body was returned and buried properly. Mu Qiqi is going to the state banquet. Why don’t we go and celebrate the New Year? After all, we are all bachelors. There’s no one in our houses.”

“You all can go. I still want to maintain the public safety in this area.” Tang Yan declined directly.

“Are you serious? Captain Tang, how can you get yourself a girlfriend if you keep on being like this? You don’t even relax on the New Year.”

“Looks like you want to work with me instead of drinking?”

Listening to Tang Yan’s threat, the group of men changed into their casual outfits immediately. “We’ll go home then.”

“Shanshan, do you want to join us?”

A senior winked at Feng Shanshan.

Feng Shanshan crossed her arms across her chest and shook her head. “Count me out. I have plans tonight.”

“Meh, boring!”

The group of men left the police station excitedly. Then, Tang Yan lowered his head and looked at Feng Shanshan. “You have plans?”

“Can’t I?” Feng Shanshan snorted and asked coldly.

“I thought you would spend time with me and stay up together until eleven o’clock. And if there are no new cases, we’d go home.”

“Who wants to go home with you?” Feng Shanshan said proudly. They actually understood that the two lonely people did not have plans. The only friend Feng Shanshan had was Mu Qiqi. Since Mu Qiqi had gone to the state banquet, who else could she go to?

Tang Yan knew that she was lying. He did not say much and just looked at the rain through the door, hoping that it would be a peaceful night tonight.

...

At six o’clock, Ye Jingcheng had finally found the location “Mu Tangxue” told him with the police. The group spent four hours to get to the top of the hill. But there wasn’t a single soul to be found.

Ye Jingcheng was a son from a rich family. He had never been in such a miserable state. This was all thanks to Sheng Xiao.

He could not find Mu Tangxue, so he called the number he had saved. However, the voice prompt said that the phone was off, which meant that he could not provide more information to the police to look for her.

The policemen were getting ready to go down the hill after finding no trace of humans on the hill. It was impossible for them to continue wasting their time there. After all, Ye Jingcheng’s report was just a one-sided statement.

“You can’t go. You haven’t found her!”

“CEO Ye, don’t waste our energy here. Nobody has ever come here before. A man can’t survive on the hill, let alone a woman. There are so many wild animals here. Stop fooling us. It’s New Year’s Eve today.”

“Trust me...”

“CEO Ye, we’re really sorry. We are going down now. The rain is too heavy. I have to consider everyone’s safety,” said the team leader.

Ye Jingcheng’s face looked really ugly. He did not believe that there was no one up there. Where was Mu Tangxue?

She obviously gave him the address, saying that she was here. She wouldn’t lie. Was she captured by Sheng Xiao already?

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Jingcheng called Sheng Xiao immediately. However, Sheng Xiao’s phone was off. Sheng Xiao was currently departing to the venue of the state banquet from Banyan Courtyard.

...

The people attending the state banquet were of course influential people in society. Mu Qiqi was very nervous. After all, she was scolded so heavily yesterday. Wouldn’t she be laughed at for going to the big event with Sheng Xiao today?

Perhaps Sheng Xiao had sensed her anxiety, because he grabbed her little fist and said, “I thought you are fearless. Apparently, there are still things you worry about.”

“I’m worried that I might embarrass you,” said Mu Qiqi.

Sheng Xiao pinched her palm gently and looked at the ring on her finger. He smiled. “You just need to stay by my side and let me handle the rest.”

Mu Qiqi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Only after crossing the entrance of the National Banquet Hall did she know how big the event was tonight.

The guests stepped onto the red carpet one by one. Sheng Xiao helped Mu Qiqi out of the black Rolls Royce.

Because they were a good-looking couple, they received a lot of attention from the public.

The big shiny rings on their fingers were telling the whole world that they had completed their big life event and had become husband and wife. However, there were some people who thought differently.

“Mu Qiqi is only twenty. Even though they have rings on their fingers, they are still not a legal couple. I never thought that this young entrepreneur would actually dare to bring someone without a status along.”
